GREAT SOUL IN A SMALL BODY.
MATHUSHEK PIANOS. By a recent invention of Mr, Frederick Mathushek (the
New Patent Equalizing Soalb with Linear Bridge), the Dower of the Piano is bo greatly Increased that an in strument of little mor - than - half the ^usual size, and less th vN one-third the '
weight, is in tone, volume, brilliancy and all other re^peots, equal to that of the full sized Piano. This is demonstrated in the COLIBRI PIANO, four feet nine inches long, twa-feet eight inches wide, yet having seven full octaves." T, HE ORCHESTRAL PIANO (ordinary size), by the same arrangement, equals a Concert Grand.- THE-PARLOR GltAND.-Harp Form, and THE CONCERT, GRAND, possess qualities hitherto unattained in instruments of this "class.
* The peculiar
construction secures the greatest durability and longest continuance "in tune." Music,uns, amateurs and those desrring topurohase,
are invited to call and examine. Send for illustrated Cir cular, showing the features of the invention, arid the rea sons for its excellence.

V - - > The attention of Che public and the trade is invited to our
New Scale Seven Octave Rosewood Piano-Fortes," which for volume and purity of tone are unrivalled by any hitherto offered in this markot. They contain all the modern improvements, French, grand action, harp pedal, iron "ranie, over-strung bas<?, etc., and each instrument being made under the personal supervision of Mr. J. H. Gbovesteen, who has had practical experience of over hirty years in their manufacture, is fully warranted in every particular.
THE "CROVESTEEN PIANO-FORTE" Received the Highest Award of Merit over all others at the Great World's Fair, whero were exhibited instruments from the b??st makers in Londou, Paris, Germany, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston and New York; and also at the American Institute for fivo successive years, the gold and silvor medals from both of which can bo seen at our warerooms.
Bv the introduction of improvements we make a still more perfect Piano-Forte, and by manufacturing largely, with a strictly cash system, are enabled to
Offer these instruments at a price that will preclude all competition. TERMS?Net disk in Current Funds. Descriptive Circulars sent free.
United States Mutual Piano-Forte Association. (Chartereil Jlccording to ^Ict of IjCgistature.)
This Association is chartered lor the purpose of furnishing its members each with a Piauo-Forto of the first
class, with all the modern improvements at the cost of manufacture?to be paid for in monthly instalments of
$10. All funds, as fast as received for subscriptions,or otherwise, to bo invested in Piano Fortes; which at least once in each month are to bo distributed to such members as will pay the highost premiums for possessions o an instrument at onoe, the said premium to bo paid on delivery of tho Piano-Forte, after which only $10 per month will be required, until the instrument is paid for at the original cost.
Non-subscribers of the Association who wish*to avail themselves of its advantages in getting its Piano-Fortes can do so by paying in cash the cost of an instrument and an advance of $40,
By the foregoing it will bo seen: .
1st. That you are sure of getting a first-class Piano-Forto?warranted iu every particular?at tho lowest pos sible price?say at $360, which class of instruments are generally sold at $G00.
2nd. That you can get on instrument costing $3^0 at once by paying a small premium of perhaps $20 to $30, and the installment of $10 per month afterwards until the $3G0 is paid, which is less than an instrument of the ame class can be rented.
3d. That there can: be no risk, as all moneys are invested in Piano-Fortes as last as reccivod, which are dis
tributed to the subscribers monthly, hence it is one of the safest institutions in the country.
4th. That one-half of the premium paid for the immediate possession of the instrument, will probably be suffi
cient to pay all expenses?office-hire?advertising?printing, and interest on money advanced, kc.
5th. That as all the funds for premiums and profits on instruments sold to non-subscribers, after paying ex
nenses go into' the general fund?consequently, as it belongs equally to every subscriber, thoso who choose to
wait for theirinstrument will receive credit for their share of si id funds which will accumulate monthly
until perhaps?before the expiration of three years, thoy will bo entitled to an instrument at loss than one half or
one auarter the original coat?besides making it one of the beet of investments foe small sums?as tho sharee
will increase from 10 to 15 per oent. annually-a largelftq??si--and rendering them always saleable.
