L-.-J The above we are constantly doing, and hereby pledge ourselves to continue fyi to do for our patrons. The query is, How can We afford to do it 1 To ex- Tjj plain, we would say, it is easy to make a present when it costs nothing. We simply save to these who purchase through our orders, the agent’s profit, which every one knows mtist be large. Agents must make large profits to pay them for canvass ing the Country to make their sales. Music establishments must make large profits to cover the expenses of their business and make a living ont of it, -to say nothing of making A fortune in the trade, as many do. Wb have neither of these contingencies to provide for. We give the benefit of the lar ger part Of the discount (that is the ageht’s profits! to our patrons, thus saving to them the money named as a gift. We deliver instruments fttEWSHT Fa Kb, dh rectly from manufactories, and can therefore sell as Well North as South, East as West. We get any instrument of any make that may be desired. We get the very best se lection of instruments; even better, most cases, than the purchaser would get were be to select at the manufactory in person, be cause we leave the selections to competent jcdgSs, who have too much at stake to im pose upon us by turning off on our orders inferior or defective instruments. Every piano or organ sold by us is fully warranted for five years, and will be replaced if not satisfactory. Give us your order, and We will return a satisfactory instrument, or refund the money.

One fine autumn evening about forty years ago, I was traveling on horseback from Shrewsbury to Ches ter. I felt tired, and was beginning to look out For some snug wayside inn where I might spend the night* when a sudden and violent thunder storm came on. Sty, horse terrified b.y the lightning, fairly took the bridle be tween his teeth and started with me at full gallop through the lanes and cross-roads, until at length I man aged to pull him up near the door of a neat looking country inti. “YYell,” thought I, “there waß wit in your madness, old boy, since it brought Us to this comfortable ref uge.” After alighting I gave him in charge of the stout farmer’s boy who acted as hostler. The inn kitchen, which was also the guest room, was large, clean* tieftt and comfortable, very like the pleasant hostlery de scribed by Isaac Walton. There were several travelers already in the roottt —probably* like rnyself, driven there for shelter—and they were all warming themselves by the blazing fire while waiting for supper. I join ed the party. Presently, being sum moned by the hostess, we all sat down, twelve in number, to a smok ing repast of bacon and eggs, etc. “The conversation naturally fell oti the mishaps occasioned by the storm, of which every one seemed to have his full share. One had been thrown off his horse; another, driving in his gig had been upset in a muddy dyke; all had got a thorough wetting, and agreed unanimously that it was dreadful weather—a regular witches’ Sabbath. “ Witches atid ghosts prefer for their Sabbaths a fine moonlight to such weather as this.” This was uttered ill a tiolehm tone, tod with strong emphasis, by one of the company. He was a tall, dark lookitag matt, aivd I had set him down ih my own mind as a traveling mer chant or peddler. My next neighbor was a gay, well l looking, fashionably-dressed yoilng man, who, bursting into a peal of laughter* said t “You must be Well acquainted With the customs of ghosts, to tell us that they dislike getting wet or muddy.” The first speaker* giving him a dark, fierce look* said: “ Young man, speak not so lightly of things beyond your comprehen sion “ Do you mean to imply that there are such things as ghosts ? ” “ Perhaps you might be convinced of the fact if you bad the courage to look at them.” The young man stood up, flushed with anger; but presently resuming his seat, he said calmly: “That taunt should cost you dear, if it was not such a foolish one,” “A foolish one?” exclaimed the merchant, throwing on the table a heavy leathern purse. “There are fifty guineas. lam content to lose them if, before the hour *is ended, I do not succeed in showing you* who are so obstinately prejudiced, the form of any of your deceased friends* and if, after you have recognised him, you will allow him to kiss your lips.'* YVe all looked at each other* but my young neighbor, in the same mocking manner, replied: “You will do that, will you? ” “ Yes,“ said the other, “ I will stake those fifty guineas, on condition that you will pay a similar sum if you lose;” After a short silence the yoting man said, gaily: “Fifty guineas, my worthy sor cerer, are more than a poor college sizer ever possessed, but there are five, which, if you are satisfied, I shall be willing to wager.” The other took up his purse, saying in a contemptuous tone: “Young gentleman, you wish to draw back! ” “I draw back!” exclaimed the Student. “Well, if I had fifty gui neas, you should see whether I wish to draw back! ” “ Here,” said I, “ are four guineas which I will stake on your wager." No sooner had I made this propo sition than the rest of the company, attracted by the singularity of the af fair, came forward to lay down their money, and in a minute or two the fifty guineas were subscribed. The merchant appeared so sure of win ning that he placed all the stake in the student’s bands and prepared for his experiment. We selected for the purpose a small summer house in the garden, perfectly deserted, and having ho meatis bf exit but a window and a door, which we carefully fastened, after plAcihg the young mall within. We put writing materials on a small table in the sumhfe? house* and took away the candles. We remained outside With the peddler Among us In a low, solemn voice he began to chant the fbllowing lines: “ What riseth slowly fr,.Tt\ the ocoaa wntSs and the storitiy surf ? The phantom pale sets his blackened foot on the fresh green turf.” Theft raising his voice solemnly, he said! “ You asked to see your friend Frances Villiers, who was drowned three years ago off the coast of South America. What do you see?” “I see,’* replied the student, “a white light rising near the window, but it has nb form; it is like an un certain cloud.’’ We—the spectators—remained pro foundly silent. “ Are you afraid ? H asked the mer chant, in a loud voice. “I am not,” replied the Student* firmly. After a moment of silence, the peddler stamped three times oti the ground and sang: “ And the phantom white, whose pale, cold face, was once so fair, Adjusts bis shroud and smooths bis sea tossed bair. Once moire the solemn question: “ You Would view the solemn mys teries of the tomb—what do you see now ? *’ The student answered in a calm voice* bttt like that of a man describ ing things as they passed before him; ** I see the cloud taking the form of a phantom.** “ Are you afraid ? *’ “ I am not.” We looked at each other in hOrl'Or stricken silence, while the merchant* raisihg his arms above his head* chanted in a sepulchral voice: “ And the phantom says as he Steps fVmn the sea, He shall know me* in sooth-. I will kiss my friend who asks for nlc — The friend of my early youth.” “What do yon see now, scoffer?*’ “I see the phantom advahcC—he lifts his veil—*tis Francis Villierfe! He approaches the table—he writes —’tis his signature! ” “ Are you afraid ? ” A fearfhl moment of Silence ensued, and the student replied* but in an al tered tone: “ I am not.** With strange and frantic gestures the merchant sang: *‘ And the phantom said, behold I cotue from my grave in the sea, Linklthy hand in mine, thou shalt go btttl* with me.” “ Now, what happens ? ’* “He comes—he is near ine—he reaches out his arms—he Will have me! Help! Save me?” “ Are you afraid now?” asked the merchant, in a mocking voice. A piercing cfy and then a stifled groan was the only reply to this ter rible question* “ Help that rash youth! ” said the merchant bitterly. “ I have, I think, won his wager; but* it is sufficient for me to have given him a lesson/ Let him keep his money and be wiser in the future.” He walked away rapidly. We opened the door of the summer-house, and found the student in convulsions. A paper signed with the name of “ Francis Yllliers ” was on the table. As soon as the stndcnt’s senses were restored he asked vehemently where was the sorcerer who had subjected him to such a terrible ordeal—he would kill him l He sought him throughout the inn in vain; then, with the spded of a madman, he dashed off across the fields in pursuit of him. Of course* after waiting awhile for the return of the student with our stake-money, It gradually dawned upon us that the whole thing was a pre-arranged swindle. The two ras cals carried off our guineas, after having acted a farce, which wo, like ninnies, believed to be real. I have not invested any money in ghost stock since then. ■ <i ■ A StxoXg Hint. —“ Does your arm pain yon ? ” asked a lady of a gen tleman who, In a mixed assembly had thrown his arm across the back of her ebaif and touched her neck. “No, Miss, it don’t—but why do you auk?” “ I noticed it was out of its place, sir, that’s all,” The arm was removed. Aii Angel in a Saibfiln One afternoon in the motith of Jline, 1876, a lady In deep mouthing* followed by a little child- entered one of the fashionable saldonk in the city of The writer happened to be passing at the time; and; pironijlted by curiosity’, followed her in to stee what would ensile. Stepping up to the bar, And ad dressing the proprietor, she said: “ Sir, can you assist me ? I have no home, no friends, aud Am ndt able to work.’* He glanced at het* tktid thtih at the child, with a mingled ldbk of Curios ity and pity. Evidently he waß mtitih surprised to see a woman in Bitch a place* bßggiUg* but, without afckifig any questions, gave he? some change, and turning to tfioßo present, said: “ Gentlemen, liOre is a lady in dis tress. CAn't Bottle of yoti help her a little?” They cheerfully acceded tb the re quest, and soon a purse of two dol lars was made up and put into her hahds. “Madam,” said the gbntlenian who gave her the ttiotiby* u why do ybu Come to a salbbn ? It Isn't B proper place for a lady; and why are you driven to Buhti a step ? ” “ Sir,” said the lady, “ I krtttw it isn’t a proper place fdr a lady to be in, and you ask me why I am driven to such a step. I will tell you in one shdrt word ” —pointing to a bottle behind tlie Cotlnter labeled “whisky” —“ that is what brought itie hefe— whisky. 1 Was dhbe happy* and sur rounded With all the luxuries wealth could procure, with a fond, indulgent husband, fitit ih an evil hour he was tempted, atid, hot possessing the Will to resist the teitiptatioH, fell, and ih one short yea? my dreatrt of happi ness was over, my hdme wAs forever desolate, and the kind husband and the wealth that some called mine, lo&t -—lost never to retUrrt—litid all by the accursed wine-cup.

Regaining her composure, and turning to the proprietor of the Saloon, she continued: “Sir, the reason why I occasionally enter a place like this is to implore those who deal in the deadly poison to desist—to stop a business that spreads desolation, ruin, poverty and starvation. Think one moment of your own loved oties, and then imag ine them in the situation lam in. I appeal to your better nature, I appeal to yottr heart (fat I know you possess ft kind one), to fetire from a business so ruinous to your patrons. “Do you know that tho money you take across the bar is the same thing as the bread out of tbe mouths of the famished wives and children of your customers ?—that it strips the cloth ing from their backs, deprives them of all the comforts of this life, and throws ftnhapplness, misery, crime and desolation into their once happy homes ?
