Oar friends will find at Mr. Waters’ s'ore
the very best assortment of Pianos, Melo

S»» f es. — Graham''s Magazine.
MUSICAL DOINGS.—Since 31 r. Waters gave
tip-publishing sheet music, he has devoted his j
whole capital and attention to the manufacture
and >ale of Pianos and Melodeons- He has just
issued a catalogue of hls new Instruments, giving
anew scale of prices, which showy a marked re
duction from former rates, and his Pianos have
recently been awarded the First Premium at sev- .
oral Fairs. Many people of the present day, who
are attracted, if not confused, with the flaming ad
vertisements ol rival piano houses, probably over
look the modest manufacturer like Mr. Waters;
but we happen to know that his instruments
earned him a good reputation long before impo
sitions and “nohors” connected therewith were
ever thought of; indeed, we have one of Mr. Wa
ters’ Pianofortes now in our residence (where it
has stood for years,) of which any manufacturer
in the world might well be proud. We have al
ways neen didighted with it as a sweet toned and
powerful instrument, and there is no doubt of its
durability ; more than this, some of the best ama
teur players in the city, as well aa several celebra
ted pianists, have performed on the same piano,
and all pronounce it a superior and /irst-clas* in
strument. Stronger we could not

’1 lie DriiHknrd’w Daughlir.
BY 0. IV. BUNOAY.
Out on the street, wiih naked feet,
I saw the drunkard’a little daughter ;
Her tattered shawl was thin and small;
She little knew, for no one taught her.
Her skin was fair, her adburn hair
Was blown about her pretty forehead;
Her sad, white face wore sorrow’s tracw,
And want and woe that were not borrow’d.
Heart-broken child, she seldom smiled;
Hope promised her no bright to-morrow ;
Or, if its light flushed on her night,
Then up came the darker clouds of sorrow.
She scf'ly said, ‘‘We have no bread—
No wooa to keep the Are a burning."
The child was ill, the wind so chill.
Her thin, cold blood to ice was turning.
But men well fed and warmly clad,
Anti ladies robed in richest fashion,
P isued on the side where no one cried
To them for pitv or compassion.
That lone night fL and, and then the light*
Os tosv day in beauty shining,
Set dome, »nd spire, and roof on Are,
And shone on one beyond repining.
A-lecp—alone—as cold aa stone,
Where no dear parent ever sought her,
In winding at eet ol snow and sleet.
Was found the a- nnkard’shf' less daughter.
God’s Time.
P itmed ‘odisaf p :tcincuts a* usual.”
‘ D ti I say ‘as usual,” ag ift V"icn re
plied. “You Komictiraea arc wonderful
ly prospered.”
‘Y'es, I say as usual," was the quick
aDgry response. ‘T find tie path blocked
up whichever way I turn; try as bard a-
I may, something or other upsets all tny
plans. I might as well give up, one
ume as another ”
Peitap- it isn’t tbc right time, M said
the soft voice aga'm; may be God would
prove you before he ble-sesyou; perhaps
lie sees that you are not prepared for
prosperity. We must take the bless
ings thankful yas they come, and the
disappointments too, as part of his lov
ing di-oipline. Everything comes best
in G si's time.”
Y'«, joy or sorrow, sunshine or cloud,
(1 ntv t r pover y, al! come in “God’s
time.” However much our own (flfori*
may bring to us, it is well to remember
ihat G and alone orders our successor our
failure
“God's time,” —the best time we shall
always find it to be if we but look for
his guiding and wait on him. Disnp
p imtuents, viewed and reedved aright
may prove the richest bles-ing*.
“God’s timo,” —not that we must idly
wait fur the sun of prosperity to shine
upon uj, but humbly, earnestly, faith
fully do each duty as it arises, leaving
the rest wiih G"d Ilis time will bring
u-gladness and prosperity, if be secs it
inrour good. Titus trusting, we shall
always “be glad iu the Lord,’' even
“though the caith be removed, and the
mountains he carried into the midst of
the sea, though the waters thereof roar
and he troubled, though the mountains
-hake with ‘he swelling thereof.”—
American AJfssenyer.

And the confounded-est. stand-up

They are erected on two whoe’s; one
wheel being immediately in front of
the other wheel, and the other wheel
being immediately behind tother wheel.
This makes it more binding on the
pan of the operut' r. There are no

first chapter, and likewise the Dext.—
At the front end, when it is not going

affixed a cast-iron pad, resembling in i
shape the frontispiece of some Dutch
target company’s parade cap, except
that the points ol the pad are so ar
ranged as to hurt you where a man
would not be hurt for ten cents, while

our comfort, but to pay the aforesaid
bovine for Dot drawing the premium
On alffcther occasion we undertook to
ride a speckled steer, but for some rea
son or other his finis department had
a tudden inclination to elevate itself
into the air, and wa dismounted
over hie heud, simply because the
mane of the beast did not amount to
much for banging on purp ses On
unother occasion we rode a savv-milf
saw for half an hour, but we never
tried it agnin.
But we did try the velocipede We
got as'ride of and started. Immedi
ately after a gentleman was discovered
lying on the ground, it the merriment
of lookers on. Once more we mounted
the breach, if by these words a cast

took to projtel the invention. Just
then a gentleman struck his head with
extreme violence against the curbv toDe
More merriment. Another attempt,

way, by the aid of two m n to push
and a small boy to steer, while we
were ijetting used to the contrivance,
but at such an hour as we knew not
of our aamstams departed from us.—
We made two lunges ahead, and
while endeavoring to turn <*ut for a
young lady cramped the wrong way,
codided, took tier on the invention in
front of us, and we both went off to
gether, to the damage of a $lO hat and
a $23 Grecian bend Th** glorv of

As for the lady, we prav the Lord to

True Anecdote of Hr. f.incoln.
The following anecdote of the late-
President Lincoln has never l ean pub
lished and unlike, perhaps, some of
the siories ntDihuted to li ra, is an set
ual fact During Mr. Lincoln’s prac
tice of his profession of the law, long
before he w as thought ol for president,
he was attending the Circuit Court
which met at Bloomingdule, Illinois.—
The piosecuting attorney, a lawyer by
the name of Larnon, was a mas of
great physical strength, and took par
ticular pleasure in athletic sports, and
wes so fond of wrestling that hi* pow
er and experience rendered him; a for
midable and generally successful o;
ponent. One pleasant day in the fall t
Lutnon was wrestling near the court
house with someone who had chal
lenged him to a trial, and in the ecuf
fle made a large rent in the rear of hns
unmentionables. Before be had time
to make any change, he vras called in
to court to take up a case. The evi
dence was finished, and Lamon got up*
to address the jury, and having on a
somewhat short coat, his misfortune*
was rath»r apparent. One of the law
yers, for a joke, s arted a subscription
pap r, which was passed iront one
member of the bar to another, as they
sat by a long table fronting the bench,
to buy a pair of pantaloons for Lamon,
“he being,” the paper eaid, “a poor
but wor by young man.” Several put
down their names with some ludicrous
subscription, and finally the pnper waa
laid by someone in front of Mr Lin
coln, on a [ilea that he was engaged
io writing at the time, fie quietly
gianctd over the paper, and immedi
ately took up hi* pen and wrote after
his name ;
