pilferer Down East, on whom all thefts,

he was suffering for the sins of others, he
issued Caution to the Public in the u

date, to steal on my account and risk.

The Photographic Grin.

Many OF US have often remarked how diff.
ferently our friends lock in their pictures to

partly explains the matter and treats the sub.
ject very readably. He says" In turning
over the leaves OF an album, we frequently
pass our acquaintances with out even nod
How is thisl The photograph may be IRE.
proachable as a work of art, and it is impos-
presented to the camera. How comes it, then,
that it is not q likeness Simply because the
original one was, at the critical moment unlike
himself. When about to be photographed, one
is apt to feel that, like Marshal Ney, the eyes
OF Europe are upon him-that, according to the
position he assumes, judgment will be passed
on his good or bad figure, awkwardness or
grace. He wishes to present himself on paper
to an admiring, not to a critical, public A
nervous consciousness, moreover, that perhaps
q guinea or two is involved in the operation,
tends materially to add to his discontinue.
Trivial as this consideration may appear, it
exerts far greater influence ON the expression
than mostpersOns are willing TO acknowledge,
even to themselves. Placed in a position
always chosen by the operator (being, to save
himself the trouble of rearranging accessories,
precisely the same as that which the last sitter
occupied, ,)his head screwed into vice behind,
he is told to look at an identical spot on the
wall, and keep STILL Thus posed, he regards
further operations with much the same feel
ing OF distrust as he would those of a dentist
In imagination he hears the sharp rattle of the
forceps, or the punch. His breathing becomes
thicker and quicker as the critical moment
arrives, his heart beats audibly against his
waistcoat, and hazy film falls over his eyes.
In this delightful condition Of mind and body
he is enjoined to keep quite still, and put onta
natural expresslon; as If expressions were
as easy to put on as gloves. The inevitable
consequence is, that he sgrins horribly ghastly
snile,' the like of which never passed over his
features before. Yet both operator and sitter
wonder why the portrait Is so very unlike. Il
