PIcTuREs A room with pictures in it and n
room without pictures differ about as much as
room with windows and room without windows.
Nothing is more melancholy, particularly to n
person who has to pass much time in his room,
than bleak walls with nothing on them; for pic
lures are oop-holes of escape to the soul, leading
to other scenes and other spheres. 1t is such au
inexpresslble relief to person engaged in
writing or even reading on looking up, not to
have his line of vision chopped of by an Odious
white wall, but to find his soul escaping, as it
were, through the frame of an exquisite picture,
to other beautiful and perhaps heavenly SCENES
where the fancy for moment may reyel refresh
ed and delighted. The pectures are CONSIDERS of
loneliness they are Il relief to the imprisoned
thought they are books, they are histories and
sermons, which we eau read without the trouble
of turning over the leaves Doirniag.

nave already seen something of what the rela-
i've numbers with which the Russians and the
English were fighting but it seems that the
spectacle OF the immense front presented bv the
English army broke down the Generals sense Of
ms own oomparativa strength, and put upon lin
.ne oellef that he WAS cruelty Outnumbered

were busy with their rifles along the whole line,
and were making good use of that delicate bend
IN the formation of their leftmost compauv
which enabled them to pour their fire into the
henrt OF the Vladimir column then hanging on
thelr Hank The reckoning Of him who puts his
trust in column is mainly based on the notion that
Its mere grandeur Of aspect will give il clear
ascendant as soon as it is seen at mll near; and
when the English line had once delivered its fire,
the lront-rank men of the column were not with
out grounds for making sure that their next
glimpse Of the red-coats would be a glimpse of
men IN retreat for to have come forward to
within distan3e convenient for muskets.shots

surely the utmost in the way Of close fighting

it were the light that it shed from the bayonet
points and busy ramroads-gleams twinkling
along the line of the two ranks of soldiery, who
sulli us it setmed, must be lingering in their
strange array AID whenever the smoke lifted
clear there-steadiast ms oaks disclosed by rising
mist-the long avenue of the Bearskins doomed
out, aud so righteOusly in place as to begin to
enforce surmise that, after ALL the flies Of the
two men each might be minded to stand where
they were, ceremuniously shooting into the
column, and filling it minute by minute with the
tumult of men killed or wounded. And though
it was but few Of the men planted close in the
massive columns who could thus from time to
time look upon the din forms of the solliery
who dealt the slaughter, yet the anxiousness Of
those who could gain no glimpse of tue Bearskins
was not for that reason the less. Nay it was the
greater for he who knows of present danger
through his reading of other mems countenances,
or by seeing his neigbbors fall wounded or killed
around him, is commonly more disturbed than
he who, standing in the front, looks straight into
the eye of the storm.

The practice Of bueing the paper pulp had its
origin III a siugularly accid,ntal circumstance,
which not merely as historical fact but as
forming an amusing anecdote, is, perhaps, worth
mentioning. 1t occurred about 1890, at paper
mill belonging to Mr.. But onshaw, whose wife,
on the occasion in question, was experimenting
the washing of some linen, when accidentally
she dropped her bag of powdered blue into the
midst Of some pulp in forward state of pre-
paration and so great was the fear she enter
tanned of the mischief she had done, seeing the
blue rapidly amalram0ted with the pulp, that
allusion to it was studiously avoided; until, on
Mr.. Buttonshaw's inquiring in great astonsh-
ment what it was that had impaired the peculiar
color to the pulp, his wife, precevng that no
great damage had been done, took courage and
at once disclosed the secret, for which she was
afterwards rewarded in remarkable manner by
her husband, who, being naturally pleased with
an advance of 50 much ms four shillings per
bundle, upon submitting the "improved" made
to the London market, Immediately purchased
costly scarlet cloak somewhat more congenial
to taste in those days, it is presumed, THAI ii
would be now,) with much satisfaction to the

your pardon for not having done so.

read, while others have gone over perhaps as
frequently as any unproiessionll reader Among
the latter are Lear, Richard the Third, Henry
the Eighth, Hamlet, ard especially Macbeth /

Unlike you gentlemen of the profession, think

large stones for building purposes One of the
