SITTING FOR TOUR PORTRAIT.—If a man have
bad two photographs done of him, one of which,
owing to some unfortunate combination of lights and
shadows, makes him look like a murderer, while the other
shows him as a respectable and amiable member of society,
it would be hard if ho would be obliged to submit to be
represented by the first of the two. It will le remembered
by most persons who have had much experience of sit-
ting for photographs, that at least one of their por-
traits has been suggestive of murderous tendencies in tho
original, while another has convoyed the idea of a simper-
ing humbug. These unhappy results are oftener attribu-
table to our own misdoing than we think. In sitting for
our portraits we are apt to begin by looking preternaturally
wise, and in making this attempt our features assume a
homicidal cast. Horrified at this state of things, we
smile, and behold the humbug appears ! These two
phases passed through, some of us in the endea-
vour to steer clear of both extremes, and to
resemble neither murderers nor hypocrites, are apt to fall
into yet another pitfall, in some respects more terrible
than the other two, and to contract an air of chronicim-
becility. Suppose a dozen different portraits taken from
the same original, each will probably differ in so many
respects from all the others, that in some cases it might
provo dosirablo to have more than ono portrait of a single
perawaoge.—Dickenes "411 the Icar RQua."

have not yet received a reply. The delay is regarded as a
hopeful sign by those who desire a commutation of Brit-

additional documents which have been laid before the
Home-office since Wednesday have led to a reconsultation
between Mr. Hardy and Mr. Justice Willes, the judge who
tried the case.
