To Correspondents.
of our little friends complain that
their contributions do not get into the
wp/ Chimney Corner. If they knew the diffi
culties which surround this department
of our paper, they would be patient with
T us - We are crowded to excess with Enig
mas ; in fact, we have an abundant supply for six
months to come. Yet two-thirds of our Chimney
Corner correspondents send nothing else. We
publish them just as fast as we can : not always
in the order in which they are received, because
this would be impossible. Some are rejected be
cause of incorrectness, and many others are
crowded out. We hope to be able to devote more
room to this department in our next volume, and
to bring up old scores.

the country, to MASON & HAMLIN, manufactured of
Their instruments have been repeatedly
DECLARED THE BEST
by the various State Fairs throughout the Union, and re
ceived THE FIRST PRIZE MEDAL at the Paris Exhib
ition in 1867. As an instrument for smaller churches,
Sunday schools ancl day schools, the Mason & Hamlin
Cabinet Organ stands confessedly without a rival. For
all sacred music and the accompaniment of voices, its
power of sustaining tones gives it great advantages over
the piano, while in those general points which constitute
excellence in instruments of its class, it has received the
almost universal preference of the best judges.

UPIIE Series of Sketches entitled "TII E LIVING POLI-
J- TICIANS OF THE DAY,” from the trenchant pen
of Edward A. Pollard, Esq., which has perhaps borne
off its richest garland in penetrating the triple coat of
vanity of the "Sampson Brass” of New England, will be

demand for them has been immense. Probably no paper
ever before published has reached so large a circulation
in so short a space of time its the SOUTHERN HOME
