HANG UP A PICTURE IN YOUR ROOM.
May we exhort such Of our readers
as have no pictures hanging in their
rooms, TO put one up immediately
We mean in their principal sitting
room--in all their rooms, f possible,
',ut at all events in that one. No mat

hey see something IN 1t, and it gives
'hem profitable or pleasant thought.
Some may alleee that they have mo
taste for pic'ures;" but they have a
aste for obi, cts TO be found in pictures
for trees, for lands, apes, for human
beauty, for scenes Of life; or if not for
III these, yet surely for some one of
hem; and i, is highly useful for the hu
nan mind to give itself helps towards
taking an interest in things apart from
its immediate cares and desires. They
serve 30 refresh us for their better con
quest or endurance; to render sorrow
unsel6Sh; to remind us tina: we our
selves, or our own personal wishes, are
not the only objects in the world to
instruct and elevate US, and pa: us in
fair way of realizing the good opin
IONS which we would all fain entertain
Of ourselves.
Mr.. Hazitt has said somewhere, of
a portrait of a beautiful female with a
ot,tn chat ,C
an unhandsome action would be i'm
possible in its presence.
The companionship Of anything
greater or better than ourselves, must
do US good, unless we are destitute of
all modesty or patience. And pic
ture is a companion, and the mex,

sen,s. We may live in the thick Of a
city, for instance, and can seldom 20

With pleasure Of the breathing fields;

BY living with pictures we learn tc
"read' them-to see in every nook
and corner of a landscape, and every
feature ofthe mind; and It is impossi-

less subject to She disadvantages arts
ing from having no such thoughts al
all.
Now it sohappens that the cheapest
engravings, though they cannot come
up to the merits of she originals, often
contain no mean portion or shadow Of
them; and when we speak Of putting
pictures in room, we use the word
"picture" in the child's sense, meaning
any kind of graphic representation, oil,
water, color, copper-plate drawing OF

penalties must follow disobedience to
