FROM SHORE TO SHORE.
A FINE STEEL ENGRAVING,
BY r. It. STUART.

From Painting By Clarence NJ Do6eu
This beautiful Engraving, suggestive of Life's
Journey from Childhood to Old As1, which has
been so long in the Engravers hands is now ready
far subscri 5ers.
The Picture represents a Boat Crossing a
Stream; on the forward part, Childhood is repre-.
sented by Boy and Girl, joyous and delighted
with the prospects ahead; while further along in
the boat is Youth,-a young lady carelessly play
ing with pond lilies; her admirer, young man.
sits by her side. Near the centre of the boat,
Manhood is represented by husband and wife. The
husband is standing, his hand resting upon the
shoulder of his wife, while she looks up with a
confding and cheerful smile, her child of perhaps
SIX summers, is sleeping in her lap. In the after
part of the boat Old Age is shown by an old man
and woman who have Travelled ''Lifes Journey
together, with all its '.joys and sorrows ..hopes
and fears:" the old gentleman leans forward upon
his cane deep in thought, while the old lady sits
with basket in her lap looking back evidently
reviewing the past Time is represented by q
hardy oarsman, whose only care seems to be in
pulling the boats crew across the stream, his
daughter in her sun-bonnet, very contentedlv
peers over The bow of the boat. The whole groa-
ping aud style of the picture shows master-work
of art and need only to be seen to be admired.
