THE TRIUMPH OF THE PIANO.
Of all the. instruments of music tho world has over known, none has had u triumph comparable to the triumph of the piano. lii millions of homes of al' degrees, in every civilised country in the world, it .sings' 'its song of victory. In every houso of decentclass it has como to be regarded as' necessary as a tea-table. And yet it is only a hundred and fifty years since the piano made its first public appearance in England. Tho roferenco may bo found in an old playbill of Coveut Garden, May '16," 1767—[ "End of Act I, Miss BricklorWill sing : a favourite Song from Judith, accompanied by Mr. Dibdin, on a now instrument called Piam-Forte " But the tea-table is not ousted. In this modern lifo of ours, tea is tho restorer of the equipoise, tho harmoniser of disturbances. The better tho tea, the better the effect. Perfect flavo.ur is tho requisite; and with that, consistent-quality-and assured wholesomeness. The conclusion is obvious. Tho tea to drink is Suratura. It will soothe and stimulato you graciously, whether you are a musician or a misanthrope, a cynic or a sybarite, a beauty or a frump. There is no other tea like it. 8
