Tho New Style Organ.
[Fran the Christian Index, July 11,1878.]
Hitherto there baa 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 affected, like others, by
changes in the weather. A new and
io snppnsingly beautiful design of ease
notleR
informed by
Managing Agent for the South, tllat
in his experience ot twenty-nine
years, 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 retnmed;
ne ither has he failed to sell it to any
customer who has ever 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. jnly.23.tf.

J OB WORK OF ALL DESCRI1
turn neatly done at this office.
The proud and haughty earl of
Flanders had more than once laid
seige to the city of Ghent, and been
obliged to raise it, without bringing
the stubborn citizens to the abject
term which he exacted ; but in the
spring of 1382, he rejoiced in the
fact that at last he liad them humbled
in the dust with hU iron heel upon
their necks. By conquering the neigh
boring cities and cutting off their sup
plies, he had at last brought them to
the verge of starvation, so that they
were compelled to sue for peace; and
Liege, Brabant and Haiuult each
agreed to send a deputation to Tour-
nay, the place appointed by the earl
fora conference,to unite their pray
ers with the deputation from Ghent
for such terms end conditions as a
brave but conquered people might
bear.
The deputation from Ghent, headed
by Philip von Artaveld, governor of
the town, and its most redoubted mili
tary chief, was instructed to offer com
plete submission to the will ot their
lord, tlie earl of Flanders, and accede
to all terms and conditions that should
not involve the life of any of the in
habitants. Had the earl been dispos
ed to the clemency of a noble soul, he
might have saved himself much future
trouble, and secuied himself a great
number of willing and loving subjects.
But he was at hearten vain, haughty
tyraut, and was now determined to
wreak a cruel revenge upon the men
who_had so long denied his power.
Though promising to meet the deputa
tions at Tournay, he remained at his
palace in Bruges; and when, after
several days of anxious suspense, they
sent messengers to inquire if their lord
would deign to honor them with his
presence, he returned for answer that
he would not come himself, but would
send his council with his ultimata.
Another week of fearful suspense
passed by before the deputation from
Ghent received these ultimata of the
haughty earl, which were the most
cruel and degrading that a conquerer
could offer to the conquered.
The inhabitants of Ghent, said the
council sent by the carl of Flanders,
Prices Ilc'dnccil.
A Gentle Hint.—In our style oi
climate, with its sudden changes of
temperature—rain, wind and sunshine
often intermingled in a single day—it
is no wonder that our children, friends
and relatives are so frequently taken
from us by neglected colds, half the 1 “are not to expect peace from him,
deaths resulting directly from thia | unless all male persons, from the age
«tuse. A bottle of Boschee’s German 0 f fifteen to sixty, shall come out of
Syrup kept about your home for im
mediate ure will prevent serious sick
ness, a large doctor's bill, and perhaps
death, by the use of three or four doses.

Pneum inia, Severe Coughs, Croup or
any disease of the Throat or Lungs, its
success is simple wonderful, as youi

tbe city Dare*headed, bare-footed, and
with baiters around tbeir necks, and
take their places on the road between
Ghent and Bruges, where the earl will
wait for them, and either grant them
pardon or put them to death accord
ing to his pleasure.”
Of course such degrading terms as
these could not be accepted by the
deputation from Ghent, and it is al
most certain the earl himself never
or go forth with halters around their
necks for the earl to wreak his ven-
ganco on, or to select five or six thou
sand of the most brave and determined
of their number and instantly march
to attack the carl in Bruges.
tYith one accord the people choose
the nSost valiant course, and the next
day two thousand brave men, with
Philip von Artaveld at their head,
marched out of Ghent and took their
way to Bruges, carrying with them
two hundred carts laden with cannon
and artillery, and only seven with
provisions, the latter being all that
conld possibly bo spared from the
famishing town.
On arriving before the city Bruges,
Philip von Artaveld drew up his
whole army around a smail hill, on
which he stationed himself, an*) har-
rangued them in a most eloquent
manner, showing them that every
thing was staked on the coming bat
tle—the safety of themselves, their
wftes and children—that if even hon
or would permit them to retreat,
there was no place of refuge for
them, for their own city was in the
last stages of famine, and the gates ol
every other were closed against them,
and, finally, that only_ provisions
enough tor one remained, and, except
as conquerors, they could never hope
to eat again.
Meantime, the earl ot Flanders, at
his gorgeous palace in Bi nges, sur
rounded by his knights and retainers,
heard of the approach of this little
army of half-starved men with a smile
ofooijtempt.
* “ The wicked -madineu,’’ ho said,,
“ to beard the lion in his den 1 I will
go forth and over awe them with a
host, and then literally wipe them
from the face of tho earth!”
That very day he marched out of
the city, at tho head of forty thous
and full-armed knights and warriors,
expecting an easy victory. A little
before sunset he drew up his army in
front of the men of Ghent, and the
battle was commenced with cannon
on both sides. The Ghent men fonght
with tbe fury of despqir; and,strange
as it may be seem, when it i3 remem
bered that they were outnumbered as
as eight to one, they soon had their
cowardly enmities Hying in every di
rection. Tl».*y pursued, shouting
‘ Ghent!” : ed slaughtered without
mercy, T.u* whole route back to
the vatfs ni Bruges, the distance of a
.■itgtie, was soon strewd with the
dead and wounded ; and before the
uo w terrified earl and his body-guard
of kuights could return and put the
city in a state of defense, the Ghent
men were in it and masters of the
place.
It was now ihat the vaiu, pom
pous, haughty earl of Flanders, so far
from dictating degrading terms to
the men who had sued to him for mer
cy, thought only of saving his own
life. He had lcit his own palace with
a blaze of torches, to repair to the
market place aud put himselt at the
head ot the citizens whom he had al
ready commanded to assemble there,
wdien he was met by a frightened
crowd of knights and squirt s, who
jMgured him that not only was the
town lit possession of the men of
Ghent but that a large body of these
rebels was even at that moment in
tho act of surrounding him for the
purpose of taking him alive.
“ Heavens!” cried the earl, in ter
ror, “ which way will I retreat ?”
“There is now no certain way
open for you, my lord 1” was the ter
rible'reply; “for whatever avenue is
not now closed, will be before you
can use it—even your palace, we
fear, is by this time in. possession of
your enemies. ”
“ What then is to bo done ? What
then can I do? Oh, save me! save
me!’’ cried the wretched man.
“Your only.chance, my lord, ia to
order out these lights, disguUe your
person, dismiss all attendants, and
escape alonb in the darkness!’’ was
the fearful answer.
On hearing this the earl Instantly
dismounted, commanded the torches
to be extinguished, and his attend
ants to disperse ; and seizing his ser
vant by the arm he fled with him in
to a small dark’streot, where^ his ar»

fortunes of this man! He who rose
in the pride and power of a king,
would have beeuglad to have sunk
to a peaceful sleep in the rags of a
beggar.
It was a terrible night for the wan
dering earl of Flanders. He had some
very narrow escapes—more than once
casting himself down in some dark
passage, or drawing himself up in some
dark doorway, while the prowling
crowd was hurrying past. At last,
finding himself in a miserable quarter
in the city, aud in front of a mean
looking hut, the danger pressed him
to seek his safety within. He tried
the door, found it unfastened, and
entered in trembling haste. The room
was small, almost without furniture
and black with smoke and dirt, A
woman and a child appeared to be its
only occupants; and the mother turned
upon him with pallid features and
clasped bauds, evidently fearing he
had come to take her life. The earl
knew that everything depended upon
her favor, that there was not a moment
to be lost, and he instantly threw him
selt upon her mercy without disguise.
“Woman,’’ he said, with trembling
eagerness, “I am thy lord, the earl of
Flanders, seeking to escape from my
enemies, who are searching the city.
In Heaven’s name, hide me—save mo
—and great shall be thy reward !”
The moment he spoke, she recog
nized him, for she had often seen him
pass; and poor and humble though
she was, she possessed a nerve and
presence of mind equal to the emer
gency, instantly she seized his arm

a miserable loft above.
“Quick, my lord,” she cried; “spring
up yonder, and crawl under the bed
in which my children are asleep !”
In a moment he had disappeared;
and almost the next moment the door
was thrown open, and several armed
men entered the room, and found the
poor woman quietly bending over her
infant child.
“Where’s the man that ju9t now
entered here?’’ demanded the foremost.
“By my troth,” replied the woman,
with the coolness of a Spartan mother,
“I’ve seen no man except yourselves!” i

THE OLD MAN.
Ono time there was an old man
whose back was bent and his steps
glow. Men who gazed upon his snowy
hair and-jspiikleti -facp .ffcook their
heads and whispered to each other,
“He is a good old man who has not
long to live.”' The c!i< man hknfecn
well off in hi9 day; but when he found
himself on the shady side of life, wife
dead, and home broken up, he said to
his only son: “Here, William, take
all I have and let your home be my
home until I die.”. The son took the
papers—you bet he did; and the father
was given a cozy corner, a big chair,
and a. corn-cob pipe.
All went well for a year or so, and
then the son and the son’s wife began
to make it uncomfortable for the nice
old man in the. corner. They threw
out hints, deprived him of his com-

The old man’s heart was sore as he
wont out into the world to battle
against hunger and cold ; and when
night came he cowered into a door
way and wept like a child.
“Who ia making that chin music
up there ?” called a reporter, whose
steps had been arrested by the sobs;
and he went up the steps, patted the
old man on the back, and sat by him
until his sad story was told.
“Come down to the station with
me,’’ said the reporter, taking the old
saw his figure, and the door open and
shut!”
You saw my figure then, for I’ve
just been to tho door to throw some
water. Faith, if there is any other
man here pray tell mo where he is
hid! This room, and the one above,
where my children are asleep, comprise
my whole house, which you can search
in a minute. If you doubt my word,
gentlemen, suppose you see for your
selves !”
As she spoke she handed the leader
of the crowd a candle, and he at once
ascended the ladder and looked in the
loft, where he saw only the children man 3 arm ‘ . .

miserable bed. lie returned satisfied,
df claretl that he must have jnade a
mistake; and he aud his companions
immediately departed, leaving the
trembling earl beneath the rude bed,
thanking Heaven for his wonderful
escape.
Thus was the proud Earl of Flan
ders ^preserved through that terrible
night in the disguise of his servant,
uuder the bed of a poor woman’s chil*
dren. The uext night he escaped
from the town in the garb of a peasant,
and, after wandering about ^he fields
for a time, at last fell in with some of
his own knights, and succeeded in
reaching the Castle of Lille in safety.
Neatly all of the surrounding cities
surrendered to Ghent; and Philip
von Artaveld und Peter duBois be

war that followed, which soon Involv*

Philip von Artaveld was slain in

by the hand of an assassin.

Next morning one of the daily pa
pers contained an item to the effect
that fd old gentleman Darned Good*
jieart had been found wandering the
streets at night, and that, when taken
to the station, ten thousand dollars’
worth of United States bonds were
found on him. The old man read it
over three times, slapping his leg as
he saw the point, and a beautiful smile
covered his face and dimed up through
his hair. In an hour his son William
rushed into the station, and called oat:
“Father! dear father! come hornet
We were crying all night long, and
my wife is now lying in a comatose
state on your account.’’ ""
The old man went home with him,
winking at the lamp-posts, and smiling
as he tamed the corners. He had all
of his comforts back, and the son
bought him a costly pipe and a pair of
box-toed boots that veiy day.
Wdl, as time went on; the son ven
tured to suggest that tbe bonds had
better be turned over to him; and

The other day the father went to
bed to die, and he smiled oftener than
before as be lay waiting for the sum
mons. The son said bis heart was
breaking, and then he went through
the old man’s clothes to find the
honds. He didn’t find any. He
searched the barn, and tho cellar; and
finally, when Ee saw that death was
near, he leaned over the bed and whis
pered:
“Father, do you know me?”
“Oh, yes 11 know you like n book,’
replied the dying man.

“Yes, William, I sca.it-!”
“And, father, those—those bonds,

“Yes, correct, William!” whispered
the father, winking^a ghastly wink,
and. as the n—>t tW "tI" covered his

When evening fell the son and the
son’s wife were wildly searching th®

bonds.
IT DON’T PAY.
The following from the Newark
Daily Advertiser, bos some whole
some truths which it would be w<
for all classes of citizens to ponder:
It don’t pay to have fifty working
men poor and ragged ip order ”
liave one saloon-keeper dressed iit
broadcloth and flush of money.
It don’t pay to .have these fifty
workingmen to live on bone soup and
half rations, in order that the saloon
keeper may flourish on roost turkey
and champagne.
It don’t pay to have the mothers
and children of twenty families dress
ed in rags and starved into semblance
of emaciated scarecrows and living in
hovels in order that the saloon-keep
er's wife may dress in satin, and her
children grow fat and hearty, and
live in a bay-window parlor.
It don’t pay to have one citizen in
the county jail because another citi
zen sold him liquor.
It don’t pay to have ten smart, ac
tive and intelligent boys transformed
into hoodlums and thieves, to enable
one man to lead an easy life by sell
ing them liqnor.
It don’t pay to give ono man, for
915 a quarter, a license to sell liquor,
and then spend $20,000 ;on the trial
ofTim-McLaugliin for buying that
liquor and then committing murder
under fts influence. ; -
■ 'TfrWrtti’l pay'to Wvooim tlijfot&tid
homes blasted, ruined, defiled and
turned into hells of disorder and
ery in order that one wholesale liquor
dealer may amass a large fortune.
It don’t pay to keep six thousand
men in the penitentiaries and hospit
als, and one thousand in tho lunatio
asylum at tlie expense of the honest,
industrious tax-payers, in order that
a few rich capitalists may grow rich
er by the manufacture of whisky.
It never pays to do wrong; yonr
sin will find yon out; whether others
find it out or not, and sin knows
where you are and will always keep
you posted of tho fact—it dou’t pay.
A saloon-keeper sold a drinking
man one pint of new rum, making fift
teen cents clear profit The man un
der the influence of that pint of rum
killed his son-in-law; aud his appre
hension, confinement in jail, execu
tion, etc., cost the county more than
one thousand dollars—which temper
ate men had to earn by the sweat of
their brows. It don’t pay.
The loss sustained by society, mor
ally and financially, and sorrow and
suffering, the misery and destitution
produced and augmented, and what
is infinitely a greater consideration
than all else, the loss ofsonland body,
tbe inevitable result of using or
traficking in intoxicating liqnors—
these all attest the truthfulness of the
verdict—it don’t pay.
