As a describer of scenery the .
,nreciated.
Robert Bell have been long known snd us
In his " Wayside Pictures" he has shown himse... the
Gaspar of the pen, and the following extract froui
" The Ladder of Gold," shows that he can also rival
the Dutch painters in their own peculiar excellences.
It is a perfect cabinet picture
Mrs. McSpurl was remarkably small in stature,
quick and terse of speech, with a sharp Scotch accent,
painfully neat in her household, and perfect mistress of
the secrets of domastic economy, which appeared to
constitute the principal business of her life. Her cot-
tage stood in its own garden, through which a gravel-
walk, closely- boxed at each side, and buttoned up at
top and bottom with vases of stone crop, that drooped
out over the edges in the same pattern, as if they had
grown to order, went straight from the little gpte to the
door. You could see, in a moment, that a careful
hand presided over the place. Trees were dropped
exactly opposite to each other; every sbrub on the left
had its counterpart on the right; the door-step was as
white as a cambric handkerchief; the creepers on the
front of the house betrayed no vagrant luxuriance, every
tendril clung close to the wall, and was nailed accu-
rately to ihe very tip, so that not a solitary bud escaped
into the air; and the interior was a model of precision,
from the hal mat, that looked so dry and crisp, to the
little dimity curtains in the attic window, that pierced
the centre of the blue slates, and had as prim an aspect
as if they were starched to the glass. Even in the
winter-time, notwithstanding the snow which mottled
the ground, Bermuda Cottage, for such it was called, had
a gay and bright exterior."
There are two illustrations to the " Ladder of Gold"
this month. The " Note Book of a Coroner's Clerk"
is continued, and is as full of power as ever. Sylva-
nus gives us much amusing gossip on sport and
sporting men in his " Bye Lanes and Downs of
England;" and Alfred Crowquill some gossip quite
as amusing about the City of London. lie has also
contributed three beautiful lyrics, one of which " The
Snap Dragon's,Song" will, we opine, be the regular carol
to be sung in every household on the introduction of.
snap-dragon, during the present and every_ future
Christmas. " The Big Bear of Arkansas" is an
admirable American drollery by T. B. Thorpe, of
Louisiana, and is extracted from " The Library of
American Humorous Writers." We hope the editor of
Bent& y will ever and anon favour us with more
extracts from this most amusing library. The present
number of Bentley contains a variety of other excel-
lent papers, and is as amusing a fireside companion
as any one could desire.
