BBOWNING, Sheriffi The New Stylo Organ. [From the Christian Index, July 11,1878.J Hitherto there has been an -un satisfied demand for a Parlor Organ which should combine power, sweet, ness and variety of tone with a per fect action, enclosed in a rich and ornamental case, which could be sold at, a very moderate price. After spending large sums of money in experimenting, J. Estey * Co. have at last. succeeded in manufacturing an organ, which covers the whole ^ground. The action, by an ingenious and yet perfectly simple mechanism, has been rendered independent, and cannot be ^tflected, like others, by eh luges in the weather. A hew and ... surprisingly beautiful design of case tnted j. ft. nnd written notice has been fashioned, and many other tenant* in posse.ssi.jn uml 0. improvements been made, and we are infenned by G. P.'Goilford, Eetey’s Managing Agent for the South, that in his experience ot twenty-nine yeain, he has never seen such a universal favorite as this organ seems to be. He has sent it out on trial to be tested with other organs, and that not one has ever been returned; neither lias he failed to sell it .to any customer who has over seen it. Having done away with all local agencies, Estey has determined to sell through Mr. Guilford directly to customers; thus giving .them the benefit of all discounts and commis sions. july.23.tf.

For curing Consumption, Hemorrhage* Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup He had looked for him all day— all night, it was dawn again, and he must go home without him, wilfaout his little child— his tr.-asure—his most precious thing oti earth. [ He must go home and tell his mot her that tlie boy was not found. He would never be found uow; the man felt sure of that. All his life had dreaded this—all the little life of that baby boy. He had lieeti like a man who uaiidered amongst thieves with a diamond in his possessioiYin I8U'sight of all eves. It seemed to hita that some one must rob him of it. All the old stories of gypsies who stole children had troub led him sorely, and 1-is heart had ached over the pitiful tale of the little chimneysweeper who, more than a hundred years ago, while plying his trade, came down the chimney of the nursery from which lie had been Stolen when a tinier fellow still, and recognizing it and his mother, was restored to love and hom& at last. Often in the night had the thought so overcome him that he had stolen from his bed in the darkne.-s to feel the little head of his sleeping boy on the pillow ofhis crib. Even his wife, the child’s mother, who had loved him so, would have laughed at his fancies. So he.kept them lo himself. Only once—ouo£ ht> was forced to tell er. That was when he tattooed the ol-ild’s foot. Right on the instep he had marked it with tt little blue W. It was pain ful; every prick hurt him worse than it did the boy; and the mother, com ing home, had been angry and griev ed, and then he told her: “ If the child were stolen, we should know him, though lus taco altered— though he .forgot his name and us. That is why I did it.” And she had said: •* People have children enough of their own.' Children are only valua ble to their parents. You are so ro mantic—so foolish. ” Now it had come. The foolish fear was now realized. Lost or stolen, the boy was gone, aud that tattoo mark was the only thing that com forted him. Alive or dead, they should know him—now, or alter long years, for those marks were indelible, and no one else would mark his loot with that tiny W aud the tinier cross that followed. Alive or dead! Conld tho boy be dead ? He cast up bis hands in his agony and uttered a cry that rang through the sleeping street. People turned iu their beds and said to themselves that there was a :Rgbt somewhere, or that some drunken man was making night hideous. Some early risers ended their sleep then aud there, for dawn was already breaking; but no one knew why the mau cried out, or who he was, or where he went, save the solitary po liceman, who gave him a grave sa lute itslie passed. Neither asked the other, “Have you found tlio child ?” They knew the question was uscle.-s. But at home, where tho lights had burned all uiglit, the mother, who paced to and fro, as ked -jt, -though she knew the answer would be “No.’> “You have not searched every where,’’ she said. “-You have for gotten some place—some one’s house a here he may be gone. - Go out again—go. I will go also. You told ine you wouid bring him back, or I would not have been left at home. Go!” The man turned on his very thres- *‘I thought he might be here,” he said; “and I wanted to tell you— tbe tattoo mark, we shall be sure —” Then he tell forward ou his face. For twenty-four hours he had not tasted food! but ouly his tkiutness told him that he was hungry. Then the mother remeinliered that she was also a wife. Tite wretched people ate and drank—s ones and sea water, for aught they knew ; but they needed streugth. For days they looked for the'r child in every direc tion.

Thi^t’heii ten years hud passed, and the childot four would have been a child no longer, but a j youth taller, doubtless, than his mother. No other children jbauic to these people, tjfid they were very misera ble. The man seemed crushed—he had neither ambition noj energy. The woman went abtii.it her drily toil m t££xii, listless m:i|;iuer. Their hair grew gray and i heir brows wrinkled very, early. .Friends were pitiful; hut grief does not invite—it rather repels. 7 At last they seemed 1.0 stand alone iu the world ; old acquaintances aiid relatives were gone, or had forgotten them. They made no new ones. Poor, lonely, sad, they citing to each other’s sorrows, and. trials. There was no joy to share. Their child would Iiavu been eighteen years old —was, if he lived—when what 13 called a pieee'of good luck^happened to them. A far away relative died and left them a little fortune. He had not taken much notice of Of, 111 during his life, but hs had given them a thought on his death bed. They were comparatively 1 i. It. When they knewitj the same th mght.came to each utmiice. Tiie woman tittered it first. , ..j— ' . “ Martin,? said she, ‘‘perhaps we cau find'our boy, after .ill. When once we have the money wo will ad vertise him over the length ai d breadth of the land. Ho may not remember, but tho blessed.murk you put upon hw fool, that ho will know of. Il\ wi.1 come to us—I feel sure of :l—at last, Martin, at l ist.’’ “tYes, it’mav be so, Agnes,’’ the man said. It may be so; the time has been long, the days itoful, but we may he happy, after all that has gone. Agnes, I believe it will be so.’’ They kissed each other, and made ready for the journey which they needs must take to enter upon their •inheritance. And they traveled to- getliei' OVel'thc road with eyes that grow brighter for this small spark of hope in their hearts. Through all the proceedings that followed this, grew and grew; and when, at last, they ibuud themselves undisputed owners of a pretty hense and money enough to live on in comfort, they began io feel sure that -their boy would yet share it with them. Tbe first evening in the new house was almost happy. “ Agnes we must put this cash away iu a bank to-morrow,’’ said tho husband, counting over ' a roll of notes. “It is not safe to keep it here, and .we must be careful ; ,we hate that to do which must make us econoitjfca;.’’ “ Ye.-, .Muriin,” said his wife, as she held tiie light for him and he locki-.t ijie small, old-fashioned safe “You see, when the boy comes to U3, we will Want to do all we can for him, and home must be a pretty place. We can liveuu almost noth iug Until he does come.” Afterward, in the dark, their heads close together on the pillow, the el derly couple talked ou, dreaming like children. “ Martin,” said Agnes, “ when ho does come, our poor boy. perhaps he *.vill be rough and not well-mannered he has not had us to to.ua him ; we must be very lenient.” “Yes, yes,” said Martin; “but the boy will improve, iio will prove. Youug as he is, nu cau go to college yet.” “Away from ns?’’ said the mother “ No, no, he shall come home every day,’’ said the father. Will he be tall, I wonder ? We arc usua ly tall, your people are shorter ” “ Something may have happened to hurt his looks,’’ said the mother; but we would ouly lo\ o him better for it if it is so. How ever he comes, we will be so good, so good to him. He will come, will he not, Martin ? he could not be dead, i.f.er ail ?” •• No, no, I feel Eure that lie will come. I’ve kuowu all ti.e while lie was not dead,” slid Martin. “Til advertise ail over the United State.-— all over Europe. 11that fitiis, even in India, iu some way.

They were alone in a lonely house on a lonely road. They had several thousand dollars in their possession. Ma rlit'v was not a powerful man, and though he had a pistol, there might- be two or three against one, and then there was little hope for him. He arose and took the weapon in his hands, and felt about iu the dark lor, matches. Aud Agnes heard a creakingo! the flooring end the sound of muflled footsteps, and also sprung to the floor. “They are tit tbe safe below!’’ cried Martin. “ Agnes, the money— the money for'onr boy f Ofiijf my life is lost for his sake, I cannot lose that!

There were shots, oaths— a fail—silence. She crept down stairs, trembling so that sue could scarcely stand. Leaning against the safe was her husband, blood upon his sleeve, on the floor lay a man in a crape mask, stiffening iu de .th. “ Martin !” subbed tho. woman. “ Martin!” ’ .*• I have killed himcried the man. ‘ Fa.-teu the door—put tip real bar. Had I nut forgotten and day, at work and play, to get and keep a voice that a’udl speak at ali times tbe thoughts of a kind heart.-— Bnt this is the time when * abarp voice is meat apt to he got, - You often hear boys and.giris say trords at play with a quick* sharp voice,, aa if ft wore the snap of a whip When ooe of them gets vexed you will bear a voice that sounds as if it w«tre made up of a snarl, a whiue and a baik. Such a voice often speaks worse than the heart feels. It shows more ill will in the tone than in the words. It is not often in mirth that one gets a voice or a tone that is sharp, and sticks to him through lift, and stirs up ill ail cases are immediately reported to headquarters. Tiie viriling commits tee immediately investigate the mat ter* and physicians- and nutate are emtdeyod.

Such as these get a sharp voice for home use, aud keep their best voice for those they meet elsewhere, just as ihey would save their best pies, cakes, aud sweetmeats for guests, and all their sour food for their own hoard. I would say to all boys and girls, “Use your guest voice at home. Watch it by day as a “'pearl of great price, for it will be more to you in days to come than the best pearl hid in the sea.

[Boston Herald.] Numerous letters have been re ceived asking for information as to the Howard Association, which has been brought into notice so promi- mnitlyjduring tluspast few weeks. In reply we will state that it is one of the noblest institutions in the land, and is composed of heroic and benevn olent gentlemen, who have for years been bound together by the grandest of human impulses This organiza tion was formed 25 years ago, when the city of Netv Orleans was almost depopulated by the dread visitation of the yellow fever; and when, du ring thu month of. August, 1853, it swept away 5,263 souls, and out of a population of 125,000 that remained in the city during the course of the epidemic 29,020 were attacked, and 8,101 died. I11 many of the smaller towns in Louisiana the mortality was terrible. At Providence, La., the population was reduced by flight to about 400. Of these, 330 sickened aud 165 died. At Vicksburg the fever also raged terribly. 'In a re duced population of about 8,000 there were 2,100 eases and 500 deaths. In ’ Jackson; Miss., out of 690 who remained 350 took the dia ease, and 112 died. In other locali ties people were propping iu the streets; stricken districts were barri caded, and ingress and egress denied; physicians and nurses could not be obtained, and throughout that section of the country a perfect reign of ter ror prevailed. Sueh was the malig nity of the epidemic that every one seemed crazed with fear of contagion. Parents deserted their fever-stricken children, husbands their wives, and all iu turn were deserted by their friends when the dread malady made its appearance-. Then it was that this noble association held its birth. Aware of the tact that in New Orleans a yearly repetition of this disease was to lie expected, and that sonv measures for its prevention and cure must be adopted, a small num ber of the wealthiest citizens united ,nd formed this association, naming it in honor of the world’s greatest philanthropist, John Howard. It was formed for the purpose of pro curing nurses, medicines and physi- Apropos of her Majesty’s review of the iron clads at Spilhead this week; it mav be interesting to recall the fact that the Queen can lo'k back upon at least one dangeroiP-'maritime ml ven ture. Cruising off the Isle of Wight in the yacht Emerald, while she was yet Princes Victoria, the breeze fi esh- ened into a gale, and before the vessel could get into Cowe3 road the decks were swept fore and aft. The coming Queen, however, undauntedly remain- ed a witness of the stirring scene; when a sudden squall took the Emer ald aback, and crjck went the top. mast immed’ately above the cap. The pilot, Mr. Saunders, quick as thought, sprang to where the Princes was stand ing, lifted her in his arms to a more safe position further aft, and the next moment crash came the topmast down' where the Queen had originally sta tioned herself. But for the prompt actiou of Mr. Saunders, the Queen would probably never have ii\e- to witness the ponderous procession of the iron clads this week. Indeed, Her Maiesty long ago acknowledged that the escape was something to be thank ful for, as the pilot, at her instance, was promoted to be, a master,; and in the Princes Victoria became Queen of England, he was- early in vited to Court. Moreover, at the death of Mr. Saunders, some few years after, her Majesty made considerable provision for his. wife and family.

As soon as the terror which had been inspired by tbe epidemic was allayed, the public began to take an interest in this association, and its ranks grew rapidly. Previous to the war it was one of the weathiest associations in ihe'country, but like everything else, t lias felt the .demoralizing influences of the late war, and, at the present time, most of its numbers are poor. They have established agencies throughout those sections of the South where, during the past, this malignant epidemic has been tbe most severe. Wherever it has reared its head the Howard doctors and mu sea have been found at their poet, and the amount of misery and suffer ing which has been alleviated through the exertions of the self-denying, and phial. I was satisfied, by careful ob servation, that neither of these theo ries could be supported ; and the apple remained to me an enigma and a mystery. One day, walking in the garden, I saw it all. There, oh a tree, was a phial tied, and within a tiny apple, which was growing within the crystal. The apple was put into the bottle while it was little, and it, grew there. More than thirty years Tigo, we tried this experiment with a cucumber- We laid a large bottle upon the ground by a hill of cucumbers, nnd placed a tiny cucumber in the bottle to see what would be the result. It grew till it filled the bottle, when we cut it off from the stem, and thee filled the bottle with alcohol and corked it up tight. We have it now, all as fresh, with the little prickers on it, as it was when first corked up.
