that it did not take place last night Or the night

taken place, on some other night that We have not

tainty as TO the precise night and hour Of the ex-
hibition it would not pay for al the world to sit
up to watch for it. However, as there ore some
people whose business it is to situp anyhow-such
as the police, for instance-it has been suggested,

it be arranged that when the exhibition does come

Of the world, and let them soc the fun too and

same thing here Thousands OF people were dis
appointed at the last shoW because they did not
wake up ut the right time, and those who did see
it were bothered out Of their lives for ever so long
to describe it to those who didn't SEQ it. To save
all this. let us have the bells rung and the watch'
mems rattles sprung, by all means.
The Mayor and the Captain Of Police need not
think Us actuated by selfish motives in this sug-
gestion to give them trouble, for personally we
would prefer for oil the world besides ourself to

consolation Of having said something about it any

.sTHp BETTER LAND


seTHn BETTER LAND"
There is a very beautiful picture called "Tho
Better Land" o copy Of which hangs before us
now. It is published by JAMES b. HuaiMEI, OF
New Orleans, and may be fourd we suppose, in al
tho bookstores. It is from the pencil Of young
lady, Miss A. II. SAWYER, and has beon faithfully
and happily engraved by the well known artist,
GEO. T. PERn1NE. The conception of this picture
is very happy, land the execution quito worthy OF
the conception. Founded upon q graceful compo-
sition of LoNGFE1Low the poet, it embodios the
ideal Of ssthe Better Land' in tho dreaming eyes
Of a young girl, who looks upward as if in eoaroh
for it. She stands bosdo garden palo, upon
which her hands, folded becomingly, quietly rost.
Her eyes are upturned to Heaven, adoringly, wist-
fully, with oil the oarnestness Of q doYotee. No
mixture Of earthly passion blonds with tho oxpres-
sion. No taint Of worldly desire mars the perfect
purity &C that glance, which seems earnest enough
TO pei.esrate tho crystal portals of tho divine
abodes. The attitude is at onco easy and dramatic,
The costume is happily disposed for the attitude
Ind figure. The drapory droops gracefully from
Che shoulder, and a cross ftly closes it ovor the
bosom. Tho hair falls in flowing trossos srtlessly
vet with Ane effect. Tho tout ensemble affords no
imperfeot idea Of that rapt devotion, which, for
ketful Of earth, has concentrated every human
hope in an ideal love- tho goal Of which is no loss
than Heaven. There are varions adjunets Of this
bioture, well calculated to contribute to the main
design and general effect. Angel bands issue from
an aureole Of glory, bearing wreath Of amaranth-
aB flowers, as il to adorn the noble brow that is
spifsed, unconsciously, but in dt condition to re-
|saave IT, Over the otasped hands Of the maiden Is

A FROG SroRY.-One is even half in

an tells us Of the water.snakes and the
frogs Of Egypt. The former have, be
informs US, passionate liking for frogs,
that is for devouring aud digesting them.
No one knows this better than the frog
and accordingly when tLey meet in .
pond wonderful is the cunning which en-
snes. The water-snake glides up as if in-
tentionless Of evil. but our other. sl;ny
frien is.quite aware Of the designs OF
the passion|ess ooking snake. He makes
for the nearest twig. seizes it, and car
tes it across his mouth. and then fear
lessIy approaches the hydra. The latter
now makes at the frog with open jaws !;
but the twig across the, frogs mouth is
,nnch wider than the Jaws OF the snake,
and he can by no possibility swallow the
muci, desired frog. The latter looks down
his enemy's throat from the. outside,
holds fast.to the protecting twig, and
laughs. The water.snake tries again
and again ;he glides round his anticipat-
I'd victim, but the frog always contrives
to keep him in view and the end Of every
attempt is, that the foiled snake finds the
i'ar carried by his anticipatory victim
lying across his open jaws, and the frog
once more laughing down his throat. The
hydra at length gives it up in dispair;
and . froggy" plu'npiog into . safe spot,
where he knows his kindred to be assem
bled, tells his exciting tale, and raises .
very din of croaking congratulations.
