2. His weary work on earth is done, His toil and trials now are o'er. Yet in the hearts of many a one His deeds shall live for ever more! Toll on ye melancholy bells, Tho' sad your mournful tones may be; The heart with sorrow sadly swells, To hear thy mournful melody.

3. Oh why, my Country must thou bleed, For deeds that rebels madly plan? The time shall come when they may need Just such a heart, just such a man! Roll on ye muffled drums, roll on, While hearts still mourn this sad event Our land shall never own a son As better man or President.


SOMETHNG NEW; WINNER'S PATENT SELF-INSTRUCTING KEY-BOARD SCALE FOR THE PIANO AND MELODEON. PRICE $1.00 SENT BY MAIL FOR $1.25.

This valuable invention consists of sections, which are set upon the white keys, showing the names of the keys and the note upon the staff which each key makes when struck. It is highly recommended by all professors of high standing, enabling the learner at once to find the notes required, without the assistance of any book or explanation from a teacher. Too much cannot be said in favor of this "new idea." It saves the learner the necessity of constantly referring to an instruction-book; for, at a single glance, every note required can be found, with the proper key immediately underneath for executing it. It insures the pupil a rapid and easy progress without the vexation of a long and tedious study.

Persons wishing "to play a little" merely for amusement or pastime can readily perform the ordinary tunes of the day, by placing the Scale upon the keys and following the music with the corresponding notes upon the board. It does not interfere in any way with the execution of the performer. It is made to fit any instrument, being a light and ornamental addition, easily placed or removed in the shortest possible time. In fact, it is quite a curiosity, and should be attached to every piano, for the accommodation of all learners and amateurs. For sale at the principal music-stores in the United States. Sent by mail to any address, postpaid, on receipt of one dollar and twenty-five cents ($1.25). Address SEP. WINNER, 933 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
