KO. 89. —RIDDLE.
A Literary Character.
I liavo long maintained a distinguished
station in our modern days, but I cannot
traco my origin to ancient times, though the
learned have attempted it. After the Revo
lution of 1(388, I was chief physician to the
king; at least, in my absence he ever com
plained of sickness. Had I lived in ancient
days, so friendly was I to crowned heads,
that Cleopatra would have got off with a
sting, and her cold arm would have felt a ra
viving heat. I am rather a friend to spright
liness than to industry. I have often con
verted a neuter pronoun into a man of talent.
I have often amused myself by reducing the
provident ant to indigence, I never meet a
post-horse without giving him a blow. To
some animals I am a friend; many a puppy
has yelped for aid when I have deserted him.
I am a patron of architecture, and can turn
every thing into brick and mortar; and so
honest withal, that whenever I can find a pair
of stockings I ask for their owner. Not even
Lancaster has carried education so far as I
have ; I adopt always the system of interro
gatories. I’vo already taught my hat to ask
questions of fact, and my poultry questions
of chronology.

PIANOFORTES,

BALTIMORE, MD.
rpiIESE Instruments have been before the
JL public for nearly thirty years, and upon
their excellence alone attained an unpur
chased pre-eminence, which pronounces them
unequalled. Their tone combines great power,
sweetness, and fine singing quality, as well
as great purity of intonation, and evenness
throughout the entire scale. Their touch is
pliant and elastic, and entirely free from the
stiffness found in so many pianos. In work
manship they are unexcelled ; using none but
the very best seasoned material, the large
capital employed in our business enabling us
to keep continually an immense stock of lum
ber, etc., on hand.
All our square pianos have our new impro
ved overstrung scale and the Agraffe treble.
Wc would call special attention- to onr
late improvements in GRAND PIANOS and
SQUARE GRANDS (patented August 14th,
18GG), which bring the piano nearer perfection
than has yet beon attained.
Every piano fully warranted for fivo years.
