HEART QUESTIONNS,
BY EMMe . EMBINRY,
ST minister in 1 fe to those we love,
And be m death remembered—this = all
A woman dreains of happimess,”
The New Cucsandra,
When Life's false oracles, no more replying
To bated Hope, shull mock my weary quest,
When in the grave's cold shadow calmly Wying,
This heart at last has found its earthly rest,
How will ye think of me ?
Oh ! gentle friends !
How will ve think of me?
Perhaps the warside flowers around ve springing,
Wasting, unmarked, their fragrance and their bloom,
Or some fresh fountain, through the forest singing,
Unheard, unheeded, may recall my doom :
Wl oe thus think of me !
Mgy not the day-heam glancing o'er the ocean,
Picture my restless heart, which like you wave,
Reflected doubly, in its wild commaotion,
Each ray of light that pleasure’s sunshine gave /
Will ye thus think of me ?
Will ye bring back my memory’s art, the gladness
That sent my fancies forth, like summer birds ?
Or will ye list that undertone of sadness,
Whose music seldom shaped itselt in word: ?
Wil ye thus think of me ?
Remember not how dreams, around me thronging,
Enticed me ever from life’s lowly way,
But oh ! still bearken to the deep soul longing,
Whose mournful tanes mn‘mL- the poet’s lay.
Will ye thus mm'k of e ?
And then, forgetting every wayward feching,
Hethink ye only that | loved yve well,
Till o’er your souls that *late remorse’ is stealing,
Whose voiceless anguish only tears can tel,
Will ye thus think of me ©
Cih gentie friends !
Will ve thus think of me ?

THE LEGACY.
BY ELLEN ASHTON,
‘My dear, I have news for you," said Heory
Eldrige, us he cutered the parlor, on Lis re
turn (rom the store.
*What is it? I see it issomething remark
able.’ said his wife,
‘Old Mrs. Thompeon, vour great aunt has
died and left you two thousand dollars,
*Poor lady!" was the first exclamation of
Mrs. Eldnge, and then there was a pause.—
‘But she had hved to be eighty-two, and in
the patural course of events could expect
vothing else," sententiously resumed the speaks
er. ‘Well, I'm sure, it was very handsome of
Ler to remenlivr me.’
Two thousind dollars==what a nice snm?
What in the world shall we do with so much
tnoney.,'
Mrs. Eldrige was a good-hearted, well
meaning woman, the wife oi a store-keeper in
modoerate eireumstances. and hod hitherto been
contenied with her comparatively humble lot.
Butshie was foud of display, and this legacy
instantly suggested to hier a score of wavs of
gratfying it. Her husband who loved her
dearly, generously placed the legacy at her
disposal, although Iwwould huve been particu
tarly desirable for him to have had two thou
sand dollars more added to his capital : but as
hie had never been able to afford his wile auy
troney hitherto, and as he disliked to have her
velatives say he appropriated the legicy @o
himself, he waived all elaim w it. Mys. El
drige did not press at on him, for she knew
fittle of his busiuess; and, moreover, she was
anxious, for once, to have tvo thousand dol
lars of herown to spend. She embarked, at
once, in the most magnificent projects for
spending her hitile fortune, imagining like all
perfons unaccustomed to wmoney, thatit would
be mmexhuanstible
‘I will have new carpets over all the house,’
she said, and entirely new furniture for the
parlor: thien haby shall have an clegant enb,
Foow one the otherday with a pretty bluesilk
canopy, the very thing: and little Ellen shall
have o velver hat with a plume, this winter—
velver hatsare so becoming—and you, my dear
husband, shall kave am elegant over-cout, the
very latcst fashion, for your old elo kK is posi
tively shabby, besides a splendid Christmas
present, which, you know, I must keep secret
~=atd we will take a tripto Saratoga thissume
mwer ; for we can atford it for once—and 1 will
buy mysell one of those superh long shawls |
have always desired to own—and we will have
a complete sct of silver spoons, and a new ta
bie service of wveal old stone china, and new
porcelain cups and sancers, with plates; I saw
the most beautifu! things 81 the kind lutely—
and I will buy av clegant large mirror (or the
patlor, T can get one for a hundred dollars—
and we will hire a carriage cvery few days and
take a ride into the country, I know it will do
us all good=—and this winter, what a party 1
will give. lam ashamed of ourselves for not
giving a party, but 1 knew you could not af
tord it, so 1 said wothing about it—and you
shall have one of those beautiful arm chairs,
like that Mr. Simpson has got, which I have
often Lieard you admire=— and———'
‘But, my dear,” interrupted her husbaud,
‘I am afrand, il you de all these thiugs, you
will Lave little of your two thousand dollars
left. The sum though it seems large, will
not buy everythivg, and you must pat some
limits to your desire for luxuries, clse what
might be really useful will have to Le abandon
ed.’
*Oh ! but you jest. Mr. Eldrige. Suretwo
thousand dollars will Luy all these things and
more. Besides they are comforts we really
want. Does not baby require a crib=—and you
a chair and over-coat—and Ellen o hat and
fe ther—and the parlors new furnished—aud [
a shawl—and all of us a breath of country air
now and then? ludeed 1 shall not spend a
ceot lur anythiog but what is necessary.
*Well my dear.’ replied her easy, good na
tured husband, *1 am sure | shall say nothing
il vou do. The money is yours, and 1 sus
pect the pleasure you will derive from it will
be more in the spcuding it than in the enjoy
ment of what it will purchase. However, [
think it quite possible you might derive a lar
ger shiare of amusement from it in another
wWav.
*Amusement ! Why, my dear, What do
you mean? OGnlyvamusement !’
‘Well, then," said Lor husband, with a smile
suppose ostead of sproading your two thou
saud dollurs, you were to invest it—buy asmall
bouse for iustance, or purchase some good
bauk stock. T'he annual income of this lega
cy would be from one huudred to one hun
dred and twenty dollurs, which sum you would
every vear, enjoy the pleasure of spending.—
Wauld not that be much better thau squan
dering the whole at once
“Squandering ! Amusement and squander
ing. Really, Mr. Eldrige, whatcan you miean ?
You don't want me to have this money.’
‘lndeed, my dear, you mistuke me. [do
noteven wish to coutrol you. 1 was only sug
gesting whether it would not be more pleasant
to hove a hunircd doliars every year to spend
as you pleased, rather than two thousaud dol
lare once in your lile.
‘Noindeed,” replied the wife. *lf T invest.
el thie money, what would a hundred dollurs
do? It weuld not furnish the house nor
buy baby @ crib, nor do half the other things
Fintend this legacy shall do.’
‘But it would enable you to do some of
tien his year; others might follow the pext;
ard sull others afierwards.’
‘A bundred dollars would uot move than buy
parlor carpets, much less the rest of the fur-
Diture,’
‘Very true, my dear.’
‘Much less baby's crib, and your chair and
the party.’
‘Very true.’
“T'hen 1 shall spend my two thousand.'
To which, | repeat, | shall not object. On
by, my dear, 1 hope you will bereafter be as
well satisfied with (s arrangement as You are
now,'
‘Ob, never fear, replied his wife,
‘Accordiu'l‘! the two thousaud dollars were
paid to Mrs. Eldrige in remm. who insisted
OB receiving it insolid gold. |y several days
she kept her little fortune nntouched, solacing
hersell with looking at it every flew houis;
but at last the desie of possessing her new
furoiture got the better ol her love of contem
plating the bhright eagles of herhoard, and she
launched, at once intothe wide sea of bargain.
ing. The first she did, be it said 1o her cred
it, was to buy baby the new erib; the next to
furnish her husband his avm-chair; then a
suflictent sum was set aside 1o purchase her
hide danghter's hatand plume ; after thiscame
the shawl, the pardor turniture, the earpets and
the silver spoons. By the time she had pro
enred these, and a few other things which she
considered the most indispensabile, the (wo
thousand dolars were consumed without leav
ing the expected surplus to pay for the trip to
Naratoga, the occasional country excursions
or any other of the comparative {uxuries with
which sige had resolved o indulge herself and
hushand,
Mrs. Eldvige's house laoked very elegant,
we acknowledge, when the new furniture had
come home. The pearl colored blinds, the
prer-glass in its gilded trame, the audsome
mahogany chairs, the new fashioned sofa, and
elegant carpets, gave hier parlor guite a bean
tuful appearance. But who was to adouve all
this 7 "The Eldrige’s kept little ecompany, tor
their income would not afford ity and except
her own connexions, who were rather envions
of this display, there were none to extol her
acquisitions. 10it had been possible to give a
party, and thus exhibit the new furniture to
her acquaintance Mys Eldrige would havesheen
delighted ; and perbaps, she derived more un
happiness from the counsideration that she
could not now afford a party, thanshe had ex
perienced pleasure in the spending her lega
cy. Now and then an acquaintance, one a
week at most, dropped in, and then Mrs. El
drige gratified her vanity by thew exclama
tions of admivation and swiprise. Dut, in a
few months, all her fine furniture had lost the
charm of novelty, hoth for her, ard her friends:
and, to udd o her disappointiment, it grew sen
sibly o'der and mere faded, without a hope of
her ever being able to supplant it.
*Well my dear,” said Mr. Eldrige, about a
year after their first conversation on the sub
ject of the legacy, *what are you thinking of
to-mght, that youn look so senous !
His wife colored and wassilent. For some
minutes she continued to ply her needle fast
er, then she stopped, lung down her work, and
bursting o tears, thiew hersell on her hus
band's neck.
e looked surprised at this sudden emotion,
and endeavored 1o soothe her.
‘Are you not well, my dear "he said.
Mrs. Eldvige at length ceased sobbiug, and
found words 10 speak.
I owas tunking,' she said, how foolish 1
was, not to take vour advice when yon wanted
me to auvesty legacy. My two thousand
dollars are all gone whereas if 1 Lad adopted
your counsel I would have had a vice wcome
outof itto spend every year. In the end, we
are no better for the legacey, though we migha
have been if 1 had (ollowea your suggestion.
Well, never nind, my dear. We cannot
help your mustube, which after all was a na
taral one s but at will weach us, | hopo, the
uselul lesson not to squander on supertiuities
what iy, at some period, be waned for the
necessanies of life,’
T'he lesson was not lost on Mrs. Eldrige.—
In giving way to the gratification of a momen
tary vanity, she had saerificed the power of
obtaiving many little comforts which every
vear she feltshe needed more. But the past
tanght ber wisdom. and as her husbands pro
speets inproved, she was the first to connsel
the substantial benefits of a proper economny.
ALADY'S STRATAGE M.
The Zoston Atlas transiates the tollowing
story from the Paris Siecle. It s good
enough, but we would not advise thereader to
be very pertinacious in believing it in all its
detalls ;=
One of the dangers at Ostend, most 1o be
guarded agaiost, are the professed gamblers.,
During the seasons of the Carnval and Lent,
these knights of the green cloth, keep thems
selves at PParis; but when the summer comes
they scatter themselves all over Europe. I'hev
tollow the fashion, and tread o the fooisteps
of its gilded votaries. They navigate, at full
sail, in all the macitime and mineral waters of
Europe.
This year, these birds of prey have spread
in large nambers over Europe. They Lave
ahready made some great hits 3 they <peak of
a Russion who was pillaged, in a single mght,
of two hundred thowsand francs, and who paid
it the uext day, apologizing for having made
them wait. At these watering places, where
the *hells' wre uuder no regulations, the inex
perienced are necessarily exposed to be plun
dered by sharpers. I'wo or three huve been
taken this year in the very act. They have
been driven away, but there are enough left to
hover over the shipwrecked in the stormy
uights of lanscquenet. One of these Greeans
has recently been the hero, or rather the in
strument, in a receut adventure at Ostend.
Just at the commencement of the bathing
scason, there arvived an English lady, ma ure
i age, and possessed of a great fortune, Her
wealth Liad come 1o hier ot late, and that ex
plains how it chanced she was not married.—
But she sought to make up for lost time by
marrying according to the wishes of her heart,
which had inclined wowards a young geuotle
man of twenty five. All the other aspirants
had been discarded=—thanked, but dismissed.
The mature young lady was only willing to
listen to the youthful and handsome Sir Ed
ward. But, uotortunately, the youthful and
handsome Sir Edwerd would have nothing to
say to her, and litle suspected the flame he
had kindled. How could he suppose that a
niss ;»( forty five wished to have him for a hus
band ?
T'he fortune of the lady did vot tempt him,
for he had recently inherited ten thousand
poundssteriing, aad he feit himselfrich enough
to pass his youth in guiety and freedom, and
prepared to enlist under the banner of Hymen
when he reached the age of reason, or the end
of his teu thousand pounds. His frugal and
economical habits drove the aged Miss Anna
to despair ; for she would have been glud to
see him ruined and poor, as in that case he
would Ye more likely to be tempted by her
wealth.
~ She had come to Ostend because she knew
that Sir Edward was there. Her attacks, how
ever, met with no more success than they had
at London, Bath, Newmarket, Brighton, and
afl the other plices wliere she had followed
the indifferent youth. She in vain displayed
belore lus eyes the riches she possessed. His
manner secmed to say, what do I care ? I am
sati ficd with my present ease.
Sceiug that ordinary means met with no
success, Miss Ann resolved to have recourse
Lo 4 somewhat eccentric expedient. She was
alady of spinit; she was possessed both of
audacity aud imagination. "T'he expedient
could not possibly fail.
These things took place 2 month ago. "I'liere
chanced then to be a Greek here i Ostend
~une of the heroes of that nution—a clever
chietol the Hellenie Confederation. Ile gas
o master of masters, an irresistible player, win
wing whenever and whatever e chose. Noth
-02 had oecuircd to beiray his true clisracter,
andall Ostend considered him an honest play -
er, when our English lady found him, and
said, *1 know who you are, I have received
positive letters in regard to you. Here are
copies of them. You see | can ruio you.'
The blackleg turned pale—he saw that he
was at the mercy of the lady ; but at the sume
time thie cunning knave saw that she had somee
thing to «lemamf of him, and was only trying
to frighten him iuto granting it.
‘I can ruin you,” resumed the marryiog la
dy, but 1 will spare you if you will consent
to do me a service.'
The feilfio;"lvn;t'!"oxpected this, but he was
delighted with the commencement.
[ sBpe ik, malame,' suid he, *1 await your ore
ders.!
‘Do you know Sir Edward ?
*Yoes, madame.’
[le does not often play, but he does not
dishike it. You must inake him play.’
o] shonuld like nathing better)”
SWill you then go 1o the Hotel des Bains,
where he dines; there get up a discussion
whercin yon shall be in the wrong i propose a
wazer of some bottles of ehampaizue, which
you shall lose ; make S Edward drink, and
when his head is heated, you shall lead him
off to a game.'
“I'liat is our usual way of proceeding,’ re
plied the sharper.
- *You must then win all his moncy: you
must induce him to play upon his word of
"honor, and lead him on until he has lost his
Fwhole fortune, ten thousand pounds.
The blackleg was stupified. He reflected a
“moment, and said : 1T understand ; 1 will win
“his ten thousand, and then share it with you.'
L The haughty Englishwoman reprtssed an
{emotion of indignation, and replied in a dis-
I dainful tone: *No, vou will keep it vourself.’
[ *And is this the condition upon which vou
consent not to rain m 2 1 *Yes, but refleet
well upon it. Diosist that Sir Edward shall
be completely stripped. 1 you leave him the
' smallest balance, these leiters concerning yon
shall be made public.
*Y'ou shall have no reason to complain of
me,"
On the following day the dinner eame off.
The champaigne was dronk; the parties engag
ed in the game ; and before the night was ov
er, Sir Edward had lost everythivg. It was
then that our English lady appeared to advan
tage ; the young man, now ruined, opened
both eyes and ears. At first, itis true, he was
not charmed by the personal attractions of
Miss Auna. But on histened with complas
ance tothedetail and the amount of her wealth
which she offered with her hand. Tt was an
affair of three millions. I'he age of the bride
disappeared, and the absence of personal
charms amply atoned for by such a fortune.
Sir Edward accepied, and the weddiog has
just been celebrated.
PROPLRETY AND LABOR,
All property is produced by labor teven the
wild fruits and animals, are gathered und
caught by the Liborand industry of some part
of society, Lefore they can be a property use
ful to man. All the ingenuity of the well
born artificial aristocraecy have not been able
to find any other sourse of wealth than Libor.
"l‘ln- monopoly of land by forece or fraud, be-
Hore the contrivance of either money or its
Cmltifarious representative paper, was he first
store-room that hoavded up the sccumulating
Cprodace of the labor of oncage, to be expend
! ed by the next ; since which, the number ol
[idlers to be fed, clothed and lodged by the in-
Cdustry of the producers, became so great by
Cthe progress of civilization, that the Luded
Cproperty, though seized upon by the few, was
not sufficient for their mamteninee. It was
Cthen that the precious metals, and other rare
Cproductions of nature were resorted to, 1o i
erease the stoek of wealth in store for the use
Cof the non-produciug, consuming classes, Al
| Last in our time, the number of wdlers ereated
by the luxury aud extravaganee of chusch and
| state are so great, that the monopoly of the
Cland, the precious metals, with the rare pro-
Cductions of natare (all of which have linis,
“heyond which they cannot be produced,) were
Cnot sufficient o satsly the artificid wants,
Cavarice and cupudity ot those who were entires
ly occupied i finding out modes of consum-
Cing what was brought forth by the soil and la
; bor of others. Borrowing on the mortgage of
land, and deposites of movesble property, orig-
Cinated rents and the interest for the use of
' money, which extended the means of admin
listering to the extravagance of the consuming
' classes 3 all being short of the property those
in power wished to expend, the representation
by mercantile paper and latterly by the circu
l lation of bank notes, they have continued to
| anticipate the produce of labor for ages, and
| waste all, on the fancies, whimsand superflui
] ties of the day, (for this paper representative
[is so easily made as to be with limits,) depend-
Ling on the coufidence of those whio never ex
pected to labor for the payment of it
I Governments, seeing how easy it is to live
i by anticipation, and mortgage posterity for
the expenses, by fur too great to be borne by
Lthe present generation, borrowed on pubilic se
curities, and formed a funded stock of nation

-1 tions would pay for all 5 in which however the
| European ereditors are disappointed. Not
l one of the nations has paid ove cent o debt
“but by a bankruptey, and perhaps of their fol
lies. T'his vast addition ot a national debt to
the store-room of forestalled labor, supports
an immense number of unproductive members
‘ of socicty under the garb of lawyers, officers
of the army, navy and customs, preachiers and
i pretended pilots in the best road 1o the other
'world 5 all of whom to hiave some pretensions
| to give something for what they receive, make
a complicated mystery of their trade, and do
more harm to society by their deceptions and
delusions, than even by expeading the people’s
| money. One of their favorite deceptions is to
i pretend that they feed and clothe the work
{ing people; and they ask, how would the la
borers live did we not spend our money in
consuming the produce of their labor? In
this false reasoring, they are supported by a
certain class of political economists, who to get
the favor of the rich, have invented the fizure
of the feet depending on the stomach ; assum
ing that those who live on the lubor of others,
are represented by the stomach; forgetting
| that the feet, head, stomach, and every other
Cpartof the body, are fed and provided with
every thing by labor. The monarchs of the
old world, pretending to rule their subjects by
| divine right, are not more absurb than the rich
*' in pretending their property came to them or
| their ancestors, by any other means than la
bor, in the shape of force orindustry. I'race
Cthe onigin ofany of the tew rich that are to be
Mound in our Union, and mostly it will be
tound in their vwn earnings. Since the aboli
tion of the laws of primogeniture, and entails,
property scarcely ever descends 1o the third
generation. Kxamine into the origin of the
riches in civiized Earope, it is all founded on
the force of conquest, and confiscation by the
strongest from the weakest, accumulated on
their descendants by cotails;otherwise nature
would have long sgo made a more equal di
visionof it.
Tuoveurs axn Fraomexts,—This is the title
of a volame from the German of Jacol's the well
known compiler of Jucob’s Greek Reader. T'he
following extracts show that he was something
more than a mere Greek scholar:
| How many a man hates hisneighbor for noothe
Ler reason than beeanse he knows he deserves
himself to be hated by him.
Withont establiched principles, our feelings
contend againstevil, as an ariny without a lead

He who discerns in love ouly the designof na.

so, in a requiem of Mozart, only an occusion
for building organs, for making violins, flutes,

Benevolence that can be extinguished by in
gratitude, is no true virtne, but, as it were base
tinder, upon which vanity has thrown a spark,
which is no sooner kin ‘led than extinguished.
The saying. ** Do right, and fear no man,” con
tains more wisdom than all works which would

SANDS’ SARSAPARILLA,
FOR THE REMOVAL AND PERMANENT CURE OF
ALL DISEASES ARISING FROM AN IMPURE
STATE OF THE BLOOD OR HABIT
OF THE SYSTEM,
'l‘lll'l operation of this preparation is threefold. It acts
as a tonic, strengthening the digestive powers and
restoring the appetite—as an aperient, peculiarly suited
and gentle inats laxative effect, and as an antiseptic, puri
fying the tfluids of the body, and neutralizing in the blood
the active principle of’ disease. T'he many well authenti
cated cures of rlnm'ul:\ of the most malignant character,
have given it a wide and deserved celebrity, But it is not
alone in Serofula nor in the class of diseases to which it
belongs, that this preparation has been found beneficial,
It is a specific in many diseases of the skin, and may be
admimstered with favorable results in all ; it also exercises
a controling influcnce in bilious complaints ; and when
the system has been debilitated either by the use of power
ful mineral mediciies or other causes, it will be found an
excellent restorative,
The following testimonial to the value of the Sarsapar
lay is from the Rev, Lauther Wright, aged 76 years, Con
gregational Minister, residing at Woburn.,
Wosunrs, Mass,, March 30th, 1546,
Messrs, Rands—Gentlemen—From what | have experi

used your Sarsapavilla, I have not the least doubt but that
Itis o most valuable medicine, and that the numerous cer
tificates you have received of its eflicacy are fully sustain
ed by erperience; and although its reputation and utility
are very extensive, and stand in no need of my humble
efforts o increase them, I want all who are atflicted by
digease to become acquainted with the ¢ficacy and power
ol"'mu valuable medicine, 4 ol

French Tonde and Restorative Cordial,
A New and highly valuable medicine, entirely distinet
from any other preparation and wonderful in its ef
fects, perfectly simple and harmless, and yet one of the
most potent remedies ever discovered,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD,
and removing all discases which have a tendency to relax
or weaken the systen, for promoting digestion and invig
orating and restoring the body to a sound and healthful
state. It is a perfect restorative in all nervous diseases,
weakness or fuintness of the stomach, depression of spirits,
fatulence, dyspepsy and debility, and for all diseases pe
culiar to females, it will be found for pleasanimess, safety,
potency and coiiniey o effect, unequalled by any other
prvlmrnlinn. _ '
The formula for this clegant and unique preparation was
presented some yoars since by a celebrated French physi
cian to a patient who had been sutlering from a protracted
debilitating and nervous disease, and was entirely «-urm‘
by the use of this cordial remedy, T'his patient having no
facilities for the preparation of the medicine, and being de
sirous that others should have the benefit of its singular
virtnes, has imparted the secret of its preparation to the
present proprictor, with the assurance that it should be
placed before the public for general use, believing that it
will prove as I»om-r‘cml to others as it has to him and many
of his friends.
It is composed of simple vegetable ingredients, and can
do no possible imjury inany ease. It acts promptly, mild-
Iy um‘ efficiently, and will give tcie and vigor to the sto
mach and digestive organs, will invigorate the whole ner
vous and vascular system, plml"\ and increase the tlow of
blood, and restore the ‘n.»\\ ers of the body to their natural
healthful state. Its effects are almost immediately expe
rienced in the renewal of strength, imcrease of appetite,
and the elasticity and cuergy which is imparted to the
system, Persons whose digestive organs me‘mpum-tl, and
by which the nervous system has become deranged, will
be astouished by the prompt action and agreeable change
which will be produced by the use of this potent and deli
cate remedy.

CHICKERING'S PIANO FORTES,
THE following isan extract from the re
e 2 port of the committee on musical instru
mentsatthe fourth exhibiton of the Massa
chusetts Charituble Mechanic Association,
held at Quiney Hally i the ety of Boston, Sept, 17, 1844 ¢
CThere b one manutacurer, however, whose instriuments
take precedence of all others, with so unguesticusble a pre
etninence, that the committee felt not the shghtest hesita
tion in recommending the award to him of a gold medal §
and this they did on two grounds, not only for the decided
superiority of his square Pianos, but for the wneommon
merit of his grand Planos, which it is no exaggeration to
say may be tearle<<ly placed in competition with the best
that Europe can produce, Mr, Chickering’s Pinnos of both
Kinds are of so delightful a tone, so delicate oction, and so
firm and enduring construction, that they need no medals
to give them celebrity ; and it might sccm supertluous to
give encourngement to one who has already received the
highest commendations, But the conmittee were appoint
ed not simply to give encourngement to any persons, but to
decide according to their ability upon the relative rank of
the instruments presented to them, and it would be noth
ing short of glaring injustice to lay aside the claims of the
mstrinments acknowledged to be the best, heeanuse the mak
er of them had always produced the best. S 0 much the
more does he deserve the highest reward for his skilly en
terprise and industry, especially when lie is seen to go on
diligently and stead:ily in the course of nnprovement, and
his competitors find, as they arrive at one point where he
has long stood before them, that he has reachod another yet,
and that without much more than common speed, they
cannot overtake one who unites with all their ambition, a
perseveranee which may be equalled but not surpassed.
Mr, Chickering’s manutacture is all honor to the communi
ty, in the opinton of the committee, and they would omit
no proper opportunity of hearing testimony to an excellence
which makes them feel more ’»rmul of their eity.”
