The American Organs not only have the Wind Chest or Sound Box, but have the large Organ Bellows. giving power and great steadincss of tone. These with their extreme fine voicing of the Reeds and perfect ing of the tone, make them the MOST PER- FECT ORGAN KNOWN. These great improve ments and superiority of tone and workman ship of the AMERICAN ORGANS place them in the front rank as the best, and command a higher price than any other reed instrument in the Market, A careful examination of them in comparison with others, will quickly show their superiority.

She wore a robe of muslin


The night that first we met
Her little feet were housing


Beneath her coattipet;
Her dress had all the ightness,


Her air the stylish tone,
That mark belle at twenty,


With fortune all her own.
A skirt of rustling satin,


When next we met she wore;
The spread of hoops and whalebone
Was greater than before,
And standing near her side were men
Who wooed, but wooed in vain;
She sent them all to Coventry,


And they went-on train.
Yet once again saw that form
No signing swains were there
A Summer rose had faded.


Shut out from sun and air;
l saw her but a moment,


Yet methinks l see her now.
With poodle in her carriage.


And wrinkle on her brow.

How TO CHOOSE A WIFE-"A place
for everything, and everything in its
place" said the patriarch to his daugh
ter. "Select wife, my son, who will
never step over broomstick." I" The son
was obedient to the lesson. "Now,"
said he, pleasantly, on gay May day
to one of his companions, Il appoint
that broomstick to choose me a wife.
The lady who will not step over it shall
have the offer of my hand" They pass
ed from the splendid saloon to the
grove; some stumbled over the broom
stick, and others jumped over it. At
length young lady stopped and put it
in its place. The promise was fulfilled;
she became the wife of an educated aud
wealthy young man, aud he the hus-
band of prudent, industrious and love-
ly wife. He brought fortune to her,
and she knew how to keep one. 1t was
not easy to decide which was under the
greatest obligation; both were rich and
each enriched the other.

smoothly, but the boarding master fur

boarders began to grumble and to leave,

the following dialogue occurred at the

Landlord-"Will you pray MIR. Mild?
Mild-"No, sir; will not

less you bind yourself to set better

observation Of northern readers:


During recent trip through the south

amazed and startled me. Believing this
union wac formed by white men for
white men, was astonished to find the
prodigious progress made by the negro
pbilists In entirely changing the current
Of history, and diverting thegovernment
from the object Of its institution.
The first trial by q negro jury that
ever occurred in America took place in
May last in the United States circuit
court in Richmond. The first man ever
tried by such a jury was union soldier
Of the llth United States infantry, then
on duty there. And as I looked on this
veteran in the uniform of his cOuntry's
defenders-whO had risked his life and
shed his blood on a hundred fields, ar
raigned as a Criminal before negroes, I
asked myself, did this man, and such as
he, fight and bleed for four years of terri
bic war for the purpose Of securing these
blacks the right to sit in judgment on
white people?


The civil and military power of the
United States, administered by negroes,
TO control and oOerce white men, union
men, loyal citizens. I thought to myself,
II this thing is done now in Virginia and
North Carolina, and the south is held
down by negroes, just 80 will the ne
grophilists Use the negro vote and negro
power TO hold down Pennsylvania and
the north. In an election for president

The symptoms OF catarrh are at first very
slight. Persons find they have a cold, that they
have frequent attacks, and more sensitive to
the changes of temperature. IN this condition
the nose may be dry, slight discharge. thin
and acrid afterwards thick and adhesive may
ensue.


As the disease becomes chronic the discharges
are increased in quantity and changed in quality;
they now thick and heavy, and are hawked o.
coughed of. The secretions are offensive, causing
a bad breath the voice thick and nasal; the
eyes weak; the sense of smell is lessened or
destroyed; deafness frequently takes place.


Another common and important symptom of
catarrh is that the person is obliged TO clear his
throat in the morning of a slick Shiny mucous,
which has fallen from the head during the night.
When this takes place the person may be sure
that his disease is its way to the lungs, and
should lose time in srresting it.

consequence was that he spent his night

Guss Jackson, and upon cheese of R. M.
Wilder he fed his eyes until no longer able
to control his hands, he allowed them to
