Of our regard and proper recognition Of
their good opinion Of oursslf1 w took
at once. A full length picture Of our
unassuming self, done up in photograph,
would be emphatically the thing. We
gathered our hat, started up Main dtreet,
rushed frantically into the FIRST Gallery We
We found, laid our hat down very cafsful-
y in dish Of liquid chemicals, put our
hands in our pantaloops' pockets, struck
! posish and told our artist to I" take u.s."
This polite gentleman told rs that d the
proper focal distance our eyes we're 90 far
back in our head. and We persissently
kept them so nearly closed, if We didn't
open them very wide the picture wouldn't
have any eyes At all. No Eyes Je-
rusha lem How that picture would look
We Immediately elongated our vissge,
olencbed our. teeth, Dug our finger nails
iato the palms Of our hands, and almost
wrenched ourself out OF our boots 10 an
agony of effort to get up enough Of eye
for the occasion.
After standing in one plsce and looking
at particular spot on the wall until We
had TO give in through sheer exhaustion.
the polite artist told US he thought We
had made an impression and We might
unwrench ourself. we did it. Il wasn't
l,ng until he brought US one picture and
said he would 6aish the rest. We took
lit. We looked at it. Image Of our great
grandfather now happy 10 heaven! We
had succeeded -more than succeeded in
the eyes but dreadfully at the expense Of
the rest of our handsome physiogomy.
We told the artist that if it was all the
same to him he needn't finish any more
Of the pictures. We took our hat ard
left. We have got that photograph. We
intend 10 send it to brother Durham of
the Hawk Eye in exchange for one Of
himself he sent us some days ago. II

ceeds 10 making satisfactory wood cut

out our original intention to present our
friends a daguerreotype presen,iment OF

TUE SOLDIERS Hoxs.-We have received
several communications upon the subject Of
establishing a soldiers home-a refuge for the
manned heroes who have fought the battles Of
their country. In France and England this idea
bias been put into practice. The Hotel des In
valides, In Paris, and the Chelsea Hospital, near
Lond IN, are indeed homes for soldiers, who
are enabled, thanks TO these institutions, to
pass their days in peace, kindly cared for,
meeting with the sympathy and respect Of all
classes We should by all means carry out such
o plan here In the midst Of oil the Fair excite.
ment there are still persons in our midst who
find time TO reflect upon the benefits to arise
from SOLDIERS Home" We have received
the sum OF ten dollars from subscriber to
commence fund for that purpose, and invite
further contributions from the friends OF the
oolders We shall give our hearty support TO
q ooumendable an undertaking..
