^anos & Organs
On the One Price System. J
>NE UNIFORM PRIOE to ALL,
AND THAT THE LOWEST
KNOWN.
The usual system of selling Pianos and <
Organs is for the dealer to charge any (trice (
he can get for them without regard to either
a fair profit or the customer's interest. But '
we are proud to say that this has never been <
our method of selling.
For the benefit of purchasers and to secure
them the full value ot their money, we .
estaolished at the outset of our business,
twelve years since, '
The One Price System,
and to this wo attribute our immense and ]
prosperous trade. Selling on this square (
basis renders it imperative that the price be
the very lowest one that can be given. We (
are pledged to this. We always have done <
it, and we always will do it. It's our creed <
and our practice. No oilier Piano nnd Or- j
gan House deals on this principle.
Our prices, in plain figures, are placed 1
on every instrument. A child can buy as t
low as the sharpest trader. All other Houses
have "High prices and give discounts."
The "One Price" system saves time in
trading. And is the only satisfactory way to
buyer and seller ; for, on the high price and
discount system, even though the customer
buys, he is not sure that he has bottom
prices.

liaken from the finger?board and the heavy

f a bright metallic color, and looked liko

"This," said Mr. Krom, sifting it through

A chemist who was present said the chronate
of potash is obtained from this ore by
using the ore with potash. It is used for
loloriugs and dyes. It gives the permanent

Hero are some true and strong words by
Canon Fnrrar, of the Church of Kngiand,
They tell something of the work of liquor
in the mother country. They arc pari of
an address delivered in the Shcldoniao
Theatre in the University city of Oxford.
What is (rue in England is true in our own
country?true in its measure in every
neighborhood where intoxicating drinks are
sold. Canon Farrarsaid :
look around me. not here in England
ouly, but also through all the world, over
dependencies over which the sun never sets,
and 1 seethe frightful, the intolerable cvideuces
of the devastation wrought by one
fatal sin, the sin of drunkenness ; and that
-a?itj Tmtr rrnirpwrovr, rav.uutO?<**- luted
in intoxicating drinks. I am unable^
I have not the heart to day to touch on onetenth
>r one-hundredth part of the proofs
which demonstrate to every serious uiiud, [
which is at all acquainted with the facts, the
awful importance ol this question. Focus
the lurid gleams which flash upward froui
this pit ol destruction, and you will sco
haw frightful is the glare. Track the sub
terraucuu ramifications of this evil, and
you will see how the whole nation, the
whole empire, is undermined ; how every
step wo take is over fire ever bursting
through the treacherous ashes.
''It is matter, not of assertion, but of
sternest demonstration, that the drink traffic
causes the most amazing waste of our
national resources; that to it are. due, uiaiuIv
and almost the worst nbennuicna
of pauperism ; that it causes seventylive
per cent of th >se melancholy cases of
domestic ruin which fill our police courts ;
that it contributes enormously, both directly
and indirectly, to the hideous social evil
that bet for it, on the tostiinmy of nearly
every judge on the bench, crimes of violence
would well nigh disappear ; that it is the
cuusc, both directly and indirectly, of a
most terrible mortality : that it chokes onr
prisons, in ad housrs and penitentiaries ; tliat
it creates an hereditary taint, which makes
life a curse to a stunted population ; that
because of it thousands, aye, tens of thousands
of miserable men and yet more miserable
women, and poor little children, most
miserable of all. lead lives of s ich squalor and
anguish as only they who have witnessed
can conceive; that it devastates the humanity,
and blights the bodies and the souls, not
only of 000,000 drunkards, but of the millions
which their, ruin drags down to shauiu;
that it frustrate our religious efforts at home
that it destroys and ruins our mission efforts
abroad; that it is the chief bane and ruiu
of our homes ; that is the darkest stain on
the glory and the prosperity of our nation.

A Florida Colony.?The sal j of 40,000
acres of land in Florida effected by
Mr. A. 15. Liudermanof Philadelphia, during
a recent trip to london, to a syndicate
01 that city, was fully consummated Tuesday
by the payment of th Florida Laud and
improvement Company, the owners of the
land. The land is in Orange Couuty, and
the syndicate is composed oflcading llri'ish
capitalists. The plan of the company to
effect a colonization of their lands is comprehensive
and rather utiiquc. The whole
tract will be divided by General Manager
Linderman into twenty acre farms, upon
each of which a frame dwelling house will
be erected At least two acres on each
fractwill be cleared by the company. The
farms will be sold to emigrants at 8500 each,
which will include all improvements made
by the company. The payments may be
made in easy annual installments. A strong
effort will be made to induce Italian emigration.
for the purpose of introducing in
Florida the growth of the silk worm. On

for the Northern market will be grown.
It is thought the settlers will le able to
earn a good living during the first year's
residence. The company will furnish for
the use of the colonists at once a library,
and a lecture hall will be erected, whoro
die people ?ill be enabled, by the liberality
of the ntauagers, to listen to discourses ou
subjects which will be useful to them in their
every day life as agriculturists.
The elder Wcller, of facetious memory(
expressed himself strongly on the subject of
widows. There bo people in this land of
the attorney and home of the broach of

him. "Couio, said a Cincinnati man, showing
a Chicago friend tho institutions of the
city, "come lot us go soo the Widows'

visitor. "I saw a widow homo once nnd it

speculation. Says the Times :
' \Ve have lately had a flood of embezzlements
and other forms of theft, and it has
been tho sauic story in every case. Tiustcd
cashiers and others charged with the money
ot their neighbors, speculated and lost it.
"In nineteen cases out of tweuty no crime
was intended. Ilad tlic thought of theft
occurred to the parties who proved to bo
criminals, they would have shuddered and
recoiled from themselves ; but they lost
thei r own money; they borrowed without
leave to make new vcuturcs, and ended as
ou.bczzlers and thieves.
"Most of tlic scores of uicn who have
lately startled the country by their embezzling,
were citizens of unblemished reputations,
commanding the unbounded confidence
of their respective communities ; but
the inordinate ninWiuu ?> , '
in style ; to give their children the hollow
respectability offortuue, and to gain tbo
mocking homage of fools and hypocrites,
made them ventures tep by step, until
detected crime and iuelfaceablc shame logically
followed.
"Don't speculate. Not one in a thousand
of those who attempt to win fortune

Pit I VAC Y.?A worthy w ife of forty years'
stauding, and whose life was not uiadc up
of sunshine and peace, gave the following
sensible and impressive advice to a married
pair of her acquaiutanco. The advice is
good : ' Preserve sacredly the privacies of
your own house, your married state of your
heart. Let no father or mother, sister or
brother ever presume to come between you
two, or to share your joys and sorrows that
belong to you two alone. Build your quiet
world, not allowing your dearest earthly
friend to be the confidant of ought that
concerns your domestic happiness. Let
moments of alienation, if they oeccur, be
healed at once. Never, no never, speak of
it outside, but each other confess, and all
will couio out right. Never let the morrow's
sun find you at variance. Review and reucw
your vow?it will do you good ; aud
hereby your souls will grow together >
cemented in that love which is stroogcr

is quite warm," replied the lawyer. Then
a happy thought suggested itself to him,
aud he addt d with a cheerful suiilo : ''liut
not as hot as the place to which your husband
has gone." The look with which tho
lady answered this lively sally wi.l haunt
