John Gilpin's spouse said to her dear, " I n all
these twenty years,
Tho' you and I have prosperous been, no music
charms our ears ;
To-morrow is our wedding-day, and we will then
repair

say, are there;
For beauty, durability, and perfect touch and
tone,
They're unexcelled, and, with it all, for cheap-
ness stand alone.''
John Gilpin kissed his loving wife; o'erjoyed
was he to find
That tho' on music she was Bent, she had a
frugal mind.
So off they went, and hearing one, John put his

'' The best are cheapest,'' Gilpin said. '' You 're
rightly named the ' Crown.' "

Wagner overture.
Any one can learn to play it with a
few days' practice.
We ask, "Isn't this worthy your investigation?"
