A New Era in Piano Fortes!
HAS now become an established fact, acknow
ledged by the best judges of music in all parts
of the country, that the
Mathushek Piano,
Is bound to take the lead for
Rich, Pure, and Powerful Tone!
Which speaks for itself in notes of triumph over all
others. The Reason of this Great Superiority
is apparent to all who carefully examine the pecu
liar mechanism of these instruments in .
The Equalizing Seale,
which distributes the tension of the strings upon
all parts of ihe frame, relieving the instrument from
concentrated strain in any one part, thus securing
much greater strength, durability, and power of
keeping in tune,
The firentrr Length of Strings,
through all the treble and middle notes, the distri
bution of strings upon the
T^lnoar Ilrldgc,
which runs the whole length of the sounding board,
giving greatly
Increased Power of Vibration
throughout its entire length, producing a purer
tone and better accompaniment to the voice than
any other instrument.
All interested are invited to call on
1. C. HOVEY,
At lOW Water Street, and examine for them
selves. where the above named instruments cun be
seen and heard, and will In* kept for sale.

THE EMPTY CHAIB.
It la lonely by the hearthstone,
When the loved ones gather there,
And I look with mournful eadnens,
On my mother** empty chair.
Her pale, withered lips last autumn.
With a farewell kiss I pressed,
And before the May flower blossomed,
They had laid her down to rest.
She had served her loving Saviour,
Till lier mission all was done,
Rut her dying lips prayed faintly
For her sick aud absent son.
She looks not from the window—
She conies not to the door.
To greet my coming footsteps,
Ah 6he did in days of yore.
I pass into my early home,
Rut I do not see her there.
And my tear-dimmed eyes rest sadly
On that empty, vacant chair. „
As our broken circle gathers
Round the table day by day,
That lone, vacant chair reminds us
Of the dear one far away.
Oft I listen for the accents
Of that voice so sweet and low,
Rut I know it sings with seraphs,
Where the silver wavelets flow.
Sow she wears a crown of glory,
On that blissful, golden shore:
Slay I meet thee sainted mother,
To be parted nevermore.
Hiram, June G. Llewellyn A. Wadsworth.

JOHN MERRILL’S SECRET.
[Concluded from yesterday’s paper.]
Presently the order was given to call all
hands, and muster them tip. One of the
mates was sent into the forecastle to see
that no one lingered, and to have all the
men's kits and effects roused up to the
light of day. The captain was evidently
in a towering rage, for he had passed
lightly over several previous reports of
theft,” hoping the matter would be adjusted
without his interference. But Toni had
lost a new shirt during the night, anil
Captain Soule bail lost his—patience.
“I’ll find it if it's inside the ship!” said
he ; “and I'll tlog the man that stole it.”
Several bags and chests had been emptied
of their contents in the presence of us all
for John had been called down from aloft,
and stood thoughtful anil agitated, at my
side.—When the captain came to the lock
ed chest:
“Whose is this?” he demanded.
“Mine, sir,” spoke up the lad.
“Gi’me your key!”
"If you’ll excuse me, sir—I would like
to speak a word with you—by ourselves,
sir, if you please.”
But the captain was not in a humor to'
listen to any remonstrance at that moment.
"Let me go through with this cursed
business before I talk with anybody ! It
doesn't look well, anyhow, that you keep
your chest locked up!”
lie swung back his heavy boot ashe spoke
and with a single kick under the project
ing edge of the lid it Hew open.
“There’s my shirt!” exclaimed Tom,
seizing the bundle that lay on top. He
shook it open, showed his marks, and it
was at once identified beyond all dispute.
“Enough said we are on the right track
now,” said Captain Louie. “Take up
this chest and carry it aft!” And he closed
the lid with a bang.
“Mr. Baldwin,” ho continued, “strip
John Merrill’s back, and seize him up!
i It’s a new thing for me to tlog one of my
! men—a thing 1 never did—but I've sworn
it in this case, anil I'll keep my word.’’
The poor boy, overwhelmed with con
fusion, could hardly find a word to protest
his innocence, as the mate led him aft.
But Frank Wightman at this moment
neared the captain respectfully, and
touched hint gently on the shoulder. A
word was spoken; the captain relaxed
his angry brows to listen to it, for Wight
man was the best man in the forecastle.
The two walked aft together, conversing
earnestly. 1 kept my eve on them, till
Frank made a signal, which I understood
when I followed.
| “Mr. Derrick, said the Captain to the
second mate, “keep everything as it
stands, with the chests, forward. Don’t
allow a man to touch a tiling, till further
orders.”
He beckoned Wrightman and myself to
come below. But as he did not counter
mand the orders he hail given about seiz
ing John up, the mate, it seems, proceed
ed to obey them, lie prepared the seiz
ings, but when he ordered the boy to re
move his shirt, lie met with unexpected
resistance. While I was relating toCapt.
Soule, in the forward cabin, what 1 had
seen during the middle watch, there was
a scuffle over our heads, and John Merrill,
in a frenzy of excitement, rushed down
the stairs and into the after-cabin.
••Hold on, Mr. Baldwin ! Nevermind
what 1 told you, for the present.”
And the Captain followed the boy into
the sanctum, w hile we awaited the result.
In a minute afterwards ho put bis head
out at the door with the strangest look on
his face that I had ever seen mortal man
wear.
“Wrightman! you and Bill pass—John
Merrill's chest down the stairs—right into
I this room.”
, | We obeyed the order, and set our bur
; j den down'at his feet. But the fad was not
t to be seen as we looked about us.
“That’ll do. You can go on deck, now
, I —I'll talk with you again soon.”
! And the door was closed between us
• j and the mystery.
f | It was half an hour before Captain Soule
’ came up, and ordered the search contin
i ued. When he came to Tom’s chest, he
overhauled it very carefully ; hut it was,
apparently emptied to the bottom, with
out finding any stolen property. But,
! still unsatisfied, he stood it up on end.
- j thumped it heavily, and threw it liottory
