Sadly and tenderly Mrs. Conyers

window. There was large easy chair
draped with white, and gently she plac-

back the curtains. The storm had

the deep blue vault of heaven. Far
as the eye could reach stretched one
billowy plain of snow. Every tree
and shrub was laden. while the dark
frs in the distance looked like fairy
grottoes, with their burden of snow.
Never did Kate Ellis look upon
scene so holy and beautiful as was
stretched before her that still wi nter
night. Close by Sybil's side stood
slender tree covered with white flow
ers, cleaning out like snow flakes from
amid their dark leaves; and Sybl
stretched forth her hand, gathering a
branch, held it to her lips. The next
moment she rested her arm upon the
window-silI, laid her head weariy up
on it, with the green boughs dropping
over her.

hands with the white buds Of Harry

death.

To PREVENT IRON FROM RusriNG.-
Warm your iron :Il Won cannot bear

iron from rus'ing afterwards.
To MAKE HENS LAY PERpETuALLY.-
Give your hens half an ounce OF fresh
meat each, chopped fine, once day
while the ground is frozen. and they can
not get worms or insects; allow no cocks
to run with them and they will lay per-
pe,uaIly. Try it. They also require
plenty of grain, water, gravel and lime.
ARTIFICIAL OysTERs.-Take young
green corn, CRATE it IN dish; 10 one
pint Of this add one egg well beaten, a
small teacup OF flour, half cup of butter
some salt and pepper, and mix them we'll
together. A table. spoonful of the batter
will make the size OF an oyster. Fry
them light Brown, and WHEN done but

is better than butter.
To MAKE MsrroN SUET CANDLES IN In.
ITATloN OF WAx.-l. Throw quick-lime
in melted mutton suet; the lime will fall
to the bottom, and carry along with it
all the dirt of the surt so as to leave it
as pure and as fine as wax itself. 2.
Now, if to one part Of the suet you mix
three OF red wax, YOU will have a very
fine, and to appearance, real wax can

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avignon.
EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
- year 1850, twenty Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
iustrous in the service of the country. Every por.
ton OF the work will receive the most careful aten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re-
public
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the accomplishment Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men, Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
rccomme ndation. His daguertcotypes are in tie
highest the works OF art, glowing with tie soul
of the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those OF the
best artists Of London and Paris and every I'M
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The typography will be exc
cued carefully and IN as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, Is by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names of those only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de.
partmcnts OF life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
umcnt to the great men of the Republic whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of our glorious Mon, will respond to APP
peal for Encouragement and aid in commcndable an
undertaking, that its publication may make
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illlsrious OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most OF citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following
