Once a loving sunbeam rested
On the petals of a flower,
Blessed above all other roses,
Though she withered from that hour 1
Thus I’ve nursed thy gentle image
Since those eyes first beamed on me;
Thus I’ll deem my Jove a blessing,
Though it wakened none in thee.
From the hour that 1 met thee,
Life seemed brighter than before ;
Softer seemed,the skies above,
Flowers a brighter beauty wore.
All things took from thee their glory,
For my soul was filled with thee,
And the world for thy sweet presence
Holier, purer seemed to me.

No ; my soul has never wavered
From that early dream it knew,
Though my fancy may have wandered,
Still the heart—the heart is true.

For three years thy face Eve cherished
In my spirit’s inmost shrine.

“The treble is cleaq pure, powerful, and very
melodious, the base is deep, rolling, and sono-
rous ; the middle part is rich, and sympathetic,
and possessing the power of singing, i. e. of uni-
ting the sound of each tone, in a degree but
rarely achieved.”—Heniy C„ Watson.
“Our friends wtll find at Mr. Waters’ store
the very best assortment of music and pianos to
be found in the United States, and we urge our
southern and western friends to give him a call
whenever they go to New York.”—Graham's
Magazine.
“We consider them w’orthy of special atten-
tion, from the resonant and exceedingly musi-
cal tone which Zv'lr. Waters has succeeded in at-
aining.”—N. Y. Musical World fy Times.
“There is one which, for beauty of finish and
richness and brilliancy of tone, equals if it does
not excel, anything of the kind we have ever
seen. It is from the establishment of Horace
Waters. Being constructed of the best and most •
thoroughly seasoned material, and upon im-
proved principles, it is capable of resisting the
action of the climate and of standing a long time
in tune.—Savannah Republican, Savannah Ga.

THE LARGEST PAPER IN
THE
UQFaverly Magazine^
A WEEKLY PAPER,
Devoted to Tales, Poetry, Music, History,
and General Intelligence.
MOSES A. DOW, Editor and Proprietor. ;
The unexampled circulation which this paper has ob-
tained, in about two years, bears ample evidence of its
merits. Its contents are mostly original, from the best
writers of the country,—of whom it numbers nearly one
hundred, male and female, as regular contributors. The
music is worth more than the price of the paper, and
is a prominent feature, as it is either imported, or writ-
ten expressly for it. It contains sixteen pages in each,
number, 11 by 15 inches.
Terms, $2 a year, or $1 for six months; six copies to ;
one post-office, $5. All subscriptions stopped at the ■
end of the time paid for. Postage only 26 cents a year,
when paid in advance at the office of delivery. Sample
numbers will be sent, if requested. A new volume of
416 pages, commences every January and July. A Ti-
tle Page and Index included in each volume.
Among the notices of the press, we will only take
three, as a sample of all the rest.
Wavebley Magazine.—A new era of beauty and
style, in the publication of newspapers, has been intro-
duced in the bringing forth of the Waverley Magazine.
This is not a pamphlet, but an elegantly printed news-
paper, in the quarto form. The style is rather showy,
but elegant. It is filled with a fy -c
prose and poetry, tales, SKetches, essays and music.
A tews years ago it would have been a marvel in the
newspaper enterprise.— West Citizen.
The Waverly Magazine.—We are happy to perceive
by the last number of this elegant publication, that it
has acquired the wide popularity, which its high litera-
ry character and fine typographical appearance could
not fail to procure for it. Each umber contains more
reading matter than any of its weekly contemporaries,
and as much, almost, as any of the monthlies. Choice
music is likewise given every week.—Cottage Gazttte.
Waverley Magazine.—We have received, from a
friend, a number of this elegant sheet. Boston has be-
come noted, of late, for its beautiful productions in the
newspaper department, and the Waverley stands No. 1
in the list. Its contents are mostly original, and it
numbers among its host of contributors the talent oi
the country. Its editor, Moses A. Dow, is a fine wriong
. and has already obtained an enviable reputation amter,
the fraternity.—IV. Y. Journal.

In Every Branch of Industry,
In which sewing is to be done, these machines
can be used with immense profit. As the speed
of the Railway train is to travelling on foot, s®
is sewing with Singer’s Machines' compared
with hand sewing. No tailor, shoemaker, dress-
maker. carriage trimmer, saddler^ hatter, fee-
should be without one. The fair profit of using
one of these machines regularly employed is
One Thousand Dollars a Year.
In all private families where there is much
sewing to be done, these machines are an is
valuable assistance. Planters and hotel-keepers
find them particularly convenient and profitable.
These machines are simple in their construc-
tion and very strong and durable, being the en-

his life, receiving a pension from the British
Government Tor the loss he sustained by
his fidelity. He died in 1813, at the age
of 82.
As might have been expected, his oppo-
sition to the cause ufliberty, so dear to the
1 lieart of his father, produced an estrange- meats as those here presented,
ment between them. For years they had
no intercourse. When, in 1784, the son
wrote to his father; in his reply, Dr. Frank-
lin says :
“Nothing has ever hurt me so much and
affected me with such keen sensations as
to find myself deserted in my old age by
my only son, and not only deserted, but to
find him taking up arms against me in a
cause wherein my good fame, fortune and
I life were all at stake.”
In his will, also, he alludes to the part Cleaveland capt.
; his soa had acted. After making some be-
F quests, he adds :
I “The part he acted against me in the
I late war, which is of public notoriety, will
K account for my leaving him no more of an
I estate he endeavored to deprive me of.”
I The patriotism of the father stands forth
| all the brighter when contrasted with the
I desertion of his son.

attract the very general attention and commen-

The “New York Express” .-'ays :

the requisites of this instrument, and it is fast su-
perceding those of other manufacturers.”
“The New York Evening Post” says: “The
Horace Waters Pianos are excellent as well as
cheap ; but he has those of other makers, as well
as second hand ones, capitally adapted to limi-
ted means.”
Says the “Knoxville (Tenn.) Standard :” “Mr.
Waters has Jong experience in the business, and
has gained a reputation unsurpassed for selling
the best instruments in tne country.”
“The Sunny South” reaches ns with the fol-

hands of incompetent persons, who not only fail to-cure
the diseases but ruin the constitution, filling the system
with mercury, which with the disease, hastens the suff-

But should the disease and the treatment not cans e

causes so destructive a drain upon the human System (
drawing its thousands of victims through a few years of
suffering down to an untimely grave. It destroys the
Nervous system, rapidly wastes away the energies of ]
life, causes mental derangement, prevents a proper de-
velopment of the system, disqualifies for marriage, soci- .

sufferer wrecked in body and mind, predisposed to con- '
sumption and a train of evils more to be . dreaded than '
death itself. With the fullest confidence I assure the
unfortunate victim of self-abuse that a permanent and
speedy cure, can be effected, and with the abandonment
of ruinous practices, my patients can be restored to ro-
bust’ vigorous health.
The'afflicted are cautioned against the use of Patent
Medicines, for there are so many ingenious snares m

of these instruments with some degree of confi-

Says “The Christian Intelligencer:” The
Horace Waters Pianos, for elegance of construc-
tion, superior depth and sweetness of tone, were
pronounced by Competent judges al the Crystal
Palace, to be in all respects master-pieces of
mechanical skill. Having inspected a ,arge
number of the Horace Waters’ Pianos, we can
speak of their merits, from personal knowledge
as being of the very best quality.”
