ANECDOrE OF Dh. FRANKLIN..

ANECDoTE OF DR.. FRANKLINs.-.
Long after the victories of Wash.
ington over the French and Eng.
lish had made his name familiar to
all Europe DIR. Franklin chanced to
dine with the English and French
ambassadors; when the following
toasts were drunk: "England--- The
sun whose bright beams enlighten
and fructify the remotest corners
of the earth. The French embas-
sador filled with national pride, but
too polite to dispute the previous
toast, drankthe following:---'Franee.
The Moon whose mild, steady
rays, are the delight of all nations
consoling them in darkness, and
making their dreariness beautiful"
DR.. Franklin then arose and with
his usual dignified simplicity said
"George Washington---The Joshua
who commanded the Sun and Moon
to stand still and they obeyed him."

THE LITTLE ROBE OF WHITE
BY MRS. S. T. PERRY.


In rosewood cradle a bal y lay;
Its mother was sti, Itching, stitching away
On little robe of white.
One foot on the rocker, she hoped to keep
Her frolicsome baby fast asleep,
To finish her work that night.
In every stitch of the garment she wrought
That loving mother fastened thought
Hopes for that little one
And smiled on her babe with happy pride
And it slept in its cradle by her side,
Till that little robe was done;
Then she folded up the cambric and lace
And kissed her little ones chubby face,
That smiled in its infant glee.
She tossed it up and down in the air;
"low pretty you'll look, little babe, when
you wear
That new little robe" said she.
In rosewood coffin the baby lay
Its mother had wcpt the night away,
Watching its dying breath.
With it clasped to her breast she prayed
to keep
Her darling baby from going to sleep
In the cold, cold arms Of death.
They buried the babe in tho garment just
wrought
Whose every stitch held a hopeful thought
From that loving mother, sight
On the marble stone, she wrc with tear,
"How many hopes lie buried'here,
In that little robe of white"
" + +
In the Saviour's arms baby lay,
From its rosewood coffin far away,
In the realms of love and light
The angels garment had folded about
Its little form which will never wear out
A seamless robe of white.

do not insult him by saying that
SIT does not look a bit like me .!n--
You might as well tell him that he
knows nothing about the business,
or that his camera is in fault. II
you take a child to him to be pho
tographed. do not be angry with
him because he can not keep it
still, when you cannot do it your
self; and, after trying half a dozen
times without success, and wasting
more time and material than the
price of the picture, do not forget
to MGak him for his trouble.
When you sit for a picture, do
not arrange your hair entirely diff.
fersnt from your usual mode of
wearing it, and then say that your
picture does not look at all natural.
If you wish to know how your hair
will look in this or that style, con-
suit your mirror before you go to
the gallery; for an artist has some
thing else to do than to try expert
ments just for your accommoda-
ton, even though no one else
should happen to be in. He has
his printing to attend to, glass to
prepare, chemicals to mix and keep
in order, and an hundred other
things to do.
Be sure, if possible, before you
leave yonr home, that your dress
is of suitable color for the pur,
pose. Blue, purple, pink, yellow,
light green, light red, and light
brown, will take either white or
very light. Dark green, dark
brown, dark red, and dark orange,
will take very dark,
A very fair person may dress
much lighter than one who has
dark complexion; but let no lady
deceive herself with the notion
that the use of cosmetics will add
to the beauty of picture. 1t is a
delusion that has been fatal to
many a photograph that would
have been good, and not a few la
dies have wondered why they
could not get as good pictures as
others. The best cosmetic is good
soft water, we'll applied, with lit
tie good soap occasionally. We
should have better compilations il
all others were abolished. We
never could see that they added to
any ones beauty, and if any think
differently, they know at the same
time that it is all sham, and just
how much it is worth. But ladies
may do as they please, and we
shall not quarrel with them, but
they must not find fault if theil
photographs do not look as clear
as they ought. B.

THE FINE ARTS.
CHAPTER III.
How to Sit for a Photograph.

IT has become so universal a
custom for every person to be pho
tographed, that few rules and in
structions for those who wish to
secure pictures of themselves ard
their friends, will not be out OF
place.
Many do not get what they wish,
and 90 home disappointed, just for
the want of little information as
to dress, &c.
1t is not known to every one
that there is lack of symmetry
in the faces of most persons in
fact, scarcely one in a hundred has
perfectly symmetrical features, yet
there are but few who notice any
irregularity in the hundreds of tac-
es they see every day, unless it ap-
proaches to a deformity. But, let
any one have small picture taken
by a photographer, and the reduc'
ton IN size will make it more cas-
lily perceptible, and the person will
then, for the first time, learn that
both sides of his face are not ex-
actly alike, but not, perhaps, until
he has blamed the artist with max
ing his face crooked, when the fault
was with his mother or nurse, in
allowing him 10 lie too much on
one side when a child. A close
scrutiny before good mirror will
generally convince him that the
fault is not in the artist, nor in his
camera. Sometimes the eyes are
not horizontal, or one side of the
face is longer or fuller than the
other, and some are afflicted with
strabismus; but they would rather
have their eyes appear straight in
picture, when it can be done. A
good artist sees all these things al
a glance, and knows how to rene.
dy them, in part, if permitted to do
so. Some persons look well in any
respectable position, but there are
more who do not; and most per
sons will make a better picture in
some certain position, than in any
other. With all these facts in view
is it not unjust to compel an artist
to take your portrait in any posi-
ton that you may fancy, contrary
to his better taste and Judgment
His business is to give you the best
position for a picture, and has, per
haps, devoted years to the study o.
his art, while you have not given
| it one hours thought. If you have
any preference as to position, it il
right that you should state it; but
allow him to decide whether it il
expedient or not, and do not per
sist in standing when he says you
ought to SIT. 1t is not every one
who can stand gracefully, neither
does every one dress tastefully ol
becomingly, for a picture in tha
position; and we are often com
PEELED to mentally exclaim:
"Oh wqd some power the giftie gle us,
To see ourselves as ithers see us;
1t wad from many blun6er free us,
An foolish notion"
If you sit for photograph, giv'
the artist an opportunity OF MAX
; ing the best picture Of you that HI
can; and, after he has done bis best

scribes newly invented material

effectually resists the action of

the boiler of the engine house from

places by the thawing of the frozen
water which they contained.
Some paper pipes, ON the other

The Shin of Death.

SINCE the time when the Ancient
Mariner told the terrible tale of
the curse-laden ship with her crew
of ghastly corpses, no more thrilling
story of the sea has been related
than that of the whale ship Diana,
that recently drifted into one of the
Shetland Islands. A year ago she
left Shetland, on a whaling voyage
to the arctic regions, having on
board fifty men. From that time
nothing more was hard of her. The
friends of those on board became
alarmed. Money was raised and
premiums offered to the first vessel
that would bring tidings of the
missing ship, but all to no avail.
Hope was almost abandoned. On
the I'd of April the people near
Rona's Voc, in one of the Shetland
Isles, were startled at seeing a
CHASTITY wreck of a ship sailing into
the harbor. Battered and ice-crush-
ed, sails and cordage cut away,
boats and spars cut up for fuel in
the terrible Arctic winter, her
decks covered with dead and dying,
the long lost Diana sailed in like
ship from the Deadman's Land.
Fifty Men sailed out of Lerwick
in a bright May morning last
year. All of the fifty came back in
her on the second of April, this
year; the same, yet how different.
Ten men, of whom the Captain
was one, lay stifened corpses on
the deck; thirty-fve lay helplessly
sick, and some dying; two retained
sufficient strength to creep aloft;
and the other three crawled feebly
about the deck. The ship was
boarded by the islanders, and as
they climbed over the bulwarks the
man at the wheel fell faiuting from
excitement; one of the sick died
as he lay, his death being announc
ed by the fellow occupant of his
berth feebly moaning 'Take away
this dead man." On the bridge O
the vessel lay the body of the Cap
tain, as it had lain for four months
with nine of his dead shipmates by
his side, all decently laid out by
those who soon expected to share
their fate. The survivors coulC
not bear to sink the bodies of theil
comrades into the sea, but KEEP
them so that when the last mar
died the fated ship that had beer
their common home should be theil
common tomb. The surgeon OF th'
ship worked faithfully to the last
but cold, hunger, seurvy and dys
entery were too much for him.
The brave old Captain was the frs
victim, and died blessing his men
Then others fell, one by one, unit
the ship was tenanted only by thu
dead and dying. One night more
at sea would have left the Diana
floating coffin. Not one of the fitt.
would have lived to tell the ghasti.
