"THAT STANDARD SHEET." 1 869. Great National Banner of Intellect, FOR AMERICAN HEARTS AND HOMES! THE NEW YORK MERCURY A, NEW YEAR WITH AN OLD FRIEND. On New Year's day of 1562, that world renowned and nnrivaled gem of American journalism, the peer le'sa NEW YORK MKRCCRY, will the tvven ty-lourth year of tne most brilliant career ever a chieved by a paper. Darius; the past year it has been the teacher, stoiy-teller, mentor,'and oracle of two hundred thousand American homes, from ocean to ocean—and fiom Quebec, in Canada, tr. Pensucola, on the Gulf of Mexico. Young and old, rich ami poor, have reveled in its enchanting stores of wis dom, romance, art, po try, and genial humor; and its praise is "Familiar in their mouths as househild words." ThgMble patriot-soldier in his tent, too, has tvbiled awflße tedium of camp life in the absorbing re vie WW its FORTY DRILLLINT COLUMNS, finding in them a fascinating mental discipline known only to those who rally to the Banner.sheet of the Grand Army of American Intellect and Genius. In commencing a New Year, file proprietors ef the NEW YORK MERCURY can only say, that it shall be their aim to make their great family journal ol A merican literature, for 1882, more brilliant and en chanting than ever, in its concentration of all the world's grandest and most beautiful specialities in healthful Romance, graceful Toetry, elegant and quaint Gossip, refining knowledge, sparkling Humor end entertaining News—until, like love, it " rules the court, the # canip the bower," as it already rules the happy domestic fireside. The editorial tone and National departments of TUE Ntw YORK MERCURY will continue true to that lofty spirit of patriotism which has made it n ne cessity of the people since the War began, and kept it in enthusiastic demand when other sheets were dying all around it for want of popu ar support. Already the largest Literary Journal in the world, and famous as the locus of a thousand brilliant lit erary teputations, it 3 programme for 1862 will be magnificent beyond all preceden,', The most cele brated pens of this country and Europe huvc been secureil in its service, at an outlay equal to the ex pense of more than one national government in the Old World ! and its novelettes, or continued stories for 18G2, will be the most splendid triumphs of cle gantfiction ever published. To these, too, the ma gic pencil of the gieatest of American artists, Mr. Fsux O. C. DAREEY, will lend the aid of pictorial art. Our story, initiatory of the New Year, is asp' en did national Romance, commencing in the NEW YORK MERCURY of Saturday, Jrnuary 4tb, ISG2, entitled THE RATTLESNAKE, OR, THE BEDEL PRIVATEER.

THE INSUL VP Eli FRAME preserves the dVi ginul tone of the instrument in ull its purity, secu ring it for alt time against that most disagreeable nequality of tone invariably found in all other Iron Frame Piano Fortes. It greatly strengthens the case, and thus keeps the Pianoforte much longer in tune. It gives the instrument u much fuller, richer, and sweeter tone. It adapts the Piano to al climates, and to all changes of atmosphere, and in nil respects it is pronounceo by oui best "artistes' he greatest improvement of the age in Piano Forte construction j producing an instrument acknowl cdged to be superior to all olhers made in this coun try or Europe. A few testimonials from some of the most em inent Pianists and Musician in the world, in regard to the Superior t ity of our New Scale Patent * Insulated Piano Fortes. "I have examined the Piano Fortes of Lihte & Bradbury s with entire satisfnclion. I know not that there are any others better, either in our own counlry or elsewhere. "Da. LOWELL MASON." "In clearness, richness, and volume ol tone, deli cacy, elasticity of touch , and fine repeating action, J have never played upon their equal. "H. A. WOLLENHAUPT..' "In volume, richness, evennessandpuritv of tone, and in delicacj ol touch, they certainly excel, and in that beautiful 'singing quality so desirable, vet so seldom found. WILLIAM MASON."'

SRISTOW." j "I consider them ns to beauty, richness, fullness, and equality of tone, ns well as their agreeable, e lastic touch, equal, if not superior, to any Pianos made in this country or Europe. KARL WELS." "They have all the requirements for a superior interpretation of both classical and modern compo sitions. 1 'tMAURICE STRAKOSH." ' "It affords me pleasure to add my testimony of the many artistes who speak in the highest terms to the superior excellence of your New-Scale Patent Insulated Iron Fjarrie Piano Fortes, and I must say that yonr Now Scale very far surpasses all your formci effoits, producing an instrument iar superi or 111 all the excel lenclcs that constitute a perfect Piano Forte, to any th which 1 am acquainted. "THEO. EISFELD." "Having examined your New Scale Iron Frame Pianos, we must express cur delight and pleasure at their superior excellence.

In power, quanti ty, and equality of tone, they certainly excel } while lor that peculiarly rich, singing tone, that i; so invaluable as an accompaniment to the voices sustaining and blending with it, I have rarely me with theirequal. # C.

"It is with pleasure I give mv testimony to the excellence of your Pianos jn general, and especial- i al to the idmirable new invention of Mr. Lighte, ny improvement which I regard as the most.impor tant yet made in the manufacture of first-ciats in struments. "LOUIS ERNST." "1 tako pleasuie in stating my favorable opin ion ot your Now Scale Iron Frame I'iano Fortes. Among many superior Piano Fortes manufactured in New Vork, they certunly must rhnk second to none of them for strength, purity, and richness of tone, together with exliaordinary vibratory quali ties. I have also had frequent opportunities, in the schools, during the past four years, to notice the durability ol your instruments, and this under se vere and unremitted trials. "GEO. 11. CURTIS." " The high reputation which they have obtained lor their fine brilliant tone, pleasant touch and pow er, have given them the preference over those of all other manufactures, in the Public Schools of New York, in which over one hundred are now in daily use, some twelve or fifteen of which are in departments where I have had the pleasure of teach ing, and where 1 have used them for thq last five years.
