shame to say it," " a genuine picture OF a
smiling baby, a good dog, fine horse, a
bunch of flowers, are worth the whole Nati-
can"
There is world of sound art criticism
as we'll as common sense and genial feeling
in this passage, with which we shall close
our extracts:
Can there be but one sort of things in
this world? and is not a tuft OF moss, IN Its
wav, us good as an oak tree? Is it any sin
to have not been to Rome and lived or any
merit to have done SO g? If your neighbor is
stepped to the lips in high art, and so clas-
steal that bis very chairs have ages of good
authority for his patterns let US not despise
him therefore, and let him not snub and pre-
dominate over his weaker brother, who has
got only So far as sincere admiration for the
pretty things the Lord makes, when genuinely
represented Hast thou faith? Have it to
thyself.' Applaud and giorify thy own col
lection with a full heart, and be gentle to thy
next door neighbor who eateth only herbs.
There are certain humble walks of art In
which excellence consists simply III faithful
and truthful representation of nature, IN
which the excellence is of a kind of which
common people can become good judges. 1t
takes very little artistic skull OF sense to
Judge whether slaiR OF Dlue SenIlan Is
faithfully painted or the copy of bunch of
apple blossoms is true to the model of its
great original A host of such simple, in
expensive ornaments are given by Prang in
his ehromo-lithography A bunch of apple
blossoms, blue gentian, so represented as
to excel average painting, forms charming
domestic ornament, unpretending, unambl-
tious, and always beautiful. Never do our
hearts cease to thrill when the time of year
comes round for their fair originals to smile
on US, and never can we lose the sense of
beauty in their limitations.
1t is one Of the signs of the millennium
that real good art, correct and pure as far as
it goes, is being made the Inheritance of the
million, as it is now being done by the chro

with the scornful style in which some self

Pictures for the Home.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe has an ad.
mirable article in the &" Atlantic Almanac
for 1869, full of good common sense
and shrewd, humorous hits-in reply to
the question, What pictures shall hang
on my walls?" Once, pictures were the
prerogatives Of the wealthy; now, there is
no family so poor that it cannot afford to
adorn its home with them. " The question
what to get" says the author of Uncle
Toms Cabin, " amid the crowd of appli-
cants and possible choices, is often puz-
zling one. \ picture that is to look you
in the face at all hours of the day or night
is after all somewhat of an item in your
existence. 1t is taking to yourself a silent
companion; and though there is no speech
nor language, and its voice is not heard,
yet its lines 90 out into your daily life and
its word to the end of your days Pic
lures" she continues, "are as different as
people, and to them as to persons applies
the rule, Think before you choose an init
mate friend"
In considering the question of what pic
lures one would buy, Mrs. Stowe proceeds
to puncture those most inflated of all live
balloons, the " high art" critics, with a
skill that is alike admirable and remorse-
less. Read:
Well-meaning people who have money
to spare often are sorely troubled with the
question, phat to buy. There are a crowd of
takers about pictures, and the cry of high
art and a variety of other bewildering cries
are flung in ones face at every turn. Does
the honest John Stubs want TO get picture
because it is pretty thing and pleases him,

Anecdotes of the War.

After the battle of Fredericksburgh
there was rumor that the Confederates
had intended to make night attack on
our broken forces with naked troops. " 4
Nirginian," writing to the Savannah
Nears, says:
The occasion was Immediately after
the battle of Fredericksburg, Va. On
the lth of December, 1862, the Federals
occupying the northern bank of the Rap
pakannock River, on the southern side
of which Fredericksburg is situated, OPEN
ed fire upon the town with l49 pieces of
artillery. A majority Of the inhabitants
left town when the bombardment commen-
ced. Early in the morning the enemy, un-
der cover of their fire, attempted to swing
4 pontoon bridge, laden with soldiers,
across the river. \ few well directed
shots from our artillery broke the bridge,
and the boats floated down the river, the
men to be drowned, or to be killed by the
deadly rifles of Barksdale's Mississippi
ans. At night another and successful at
tempt to cross was made below the city at
Deer Run, and in a few moments thereaf-
ter the town was occupied by the enemy.
The 18th was spent in making prepara-
tions for the battle on the 18th, the result
of which is too well known to be detailed
here; suffice it to say, that by dark on that
day, the enemy's troops to the number of
10000 torn, bleeding and thoroughly dis
organized, were crowded in town. While
thus situated. the Confederate chiefs held
council of war. As has been frequently
asserted. and never until lately contradict
ed Gen. Lee said that he thought the ene-
my would make another attack, not be-
lieving that they had suffered so severely
and were so broken up as was afterward
ascertained. To this opinion Gen. Jack.
son disagreed, and suggested that the ar.
tillery of the First and Second Corps, his
and Longstreet's, should be collected upon
