CRAYoLITHlcK PAINTING.-This is .
new invention and at the same time. when
finished, has the effect OF the finest and
most labored painting in oils. The crayon
cclors which are employed, nre me1s sus-
cep,ibe OF imparting q gorgeous briIliancy.
where high colors are required, which are
only rivaicd by the exquisite deiicacy and
sof,ne Of the shadows, varofs and lighter
tin,s. And when we are told that piece
which would at first impress sou ss being
the work of years, has been conceived and
executed in single day, the effect seems
really magical. And Miss Lizzel L. But
lsr, a young lady Of the most attractive
qualities. and modest demeanor, is the in
ven,ress Of this ingenious aud truly won
derfui process. She has also invented
surface for the reception Of the picture.
which she very properly terms the FaEisn
canvas; and this is equally valuable fos
ske,ching panoramns, for pencil aud nsooo-
chromatic drawings. This surface has .
marble frmness aud consistency, and gives
the important advantage Of putting light
.calors over dark ones. Bet the most re-
markab!e part Of all this il, that the princi-
pies are so very simple, that they may b
scqnircd. even TO sketching from nature,
BY those who are previously acquajnied
with coy Of the ordinary rules Of drawing,
with very little labor and expense.

SOWING SEEDS IN AUTUMN. Cobbe.,,
in his American Gardener recommends
the sowing of several kinds Of seeds in the
autumn-such, for instance, as carrots,
bcets, onions, parsnips and many other
kinds. He remarks, in illustration Of the
truth Of this theory, that the seeds Of all
plants will remain safe in this way all win
ter, though the frosts penetrate to the depth
Of three feet below them, except the seeds
of such plants as slight frcsts will cul
down. A writer Of some distinction 10
one Of our agricultural exchanges, strenu-
ously advocates the same plan, and re-
marks that this is the moral system OF
Dame Nature, who casts all her seeds upon
the soil in The autumn, aud never fails Of
a crop. Onions, VIC have long practised
sowing in the Fall, and the same mslhod
is adopted by many--especially by those
who wish to have them early for market.
