=EXTRAORDINARY BARGAIN.= Almost every household in the United
States has some kind of Musical Instrument, from the plain Melodeon
to the expensive Grand Piano. Not one in a thousand persons ever
become adepts in the art of Music, which even Mendelsohn and

the aid of a teacher,) can learn =in a few hours= to play any of
these instruments =as easily= as if it had gone through months of
instruction and hard practice. =It is a grand invention= and saves
hundreds of dollars to any person lucky enough to possess one.
If you already have the rudiments of music, this will aid you in
mastering the whole art; if not, you can go right ahead, =and learn
all, easily and perfectly=. Have you no musical instrument on which
to practice? A few minutes each day at some friend’s residence
will make you perfect, so that you can play anywhere in response
to calls. The highest class of Professors of Music unite in saying
that =Buckner’s Music Chart= leads anything of its kind. Heretofore
the Chart has never been sold for less than =$1.00=, but now, that
WE have secured the sale of the genuine, we have resolved to send
the Chart for =Twenty-Five Cents= and also, the send =34 Pieces
of Beautiful Music=, vocal and instrumental,—full music sheet
size, =Free= to every purchaser. All the new opera gems of Mascot,

RISING SUN
STOVE POLISH]
For beauty of gloss, for saving of toil,
For freeness from dust and slowness to soil,
And also for cheapness ’tis yet unsurpassed,
And thousands of merchants are selling it fast.
Of all imitations ’tis well to beware;
The half risen sun every package should bear;
For this is the “trade mark” the MORSE BROS. use,
And none are permitted the mark to abuse.
