FROM SHORE TO SHORE.
A FINE STEEL FN5RANlNG,
BY T.. It. STUART.

From, IL Painting by Clarence AZ DobM:
This beautiful Engraving, suggestive oil Llies
Journey from Childhood to Old dgi, which has
been so long in the Engravers hands is now ready
fnr subscribers.
The Picture represents a Boat Crossing a
Stream; on the forward part, Childhood is repre-.
sented by Boy and Girl, joyous and delightt d
with the prospects ahead; while further along in
the boat is Youth,--a young lady carelessly play
ing with pond lilies; her adinircr, d 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 q
confding and cheerful smile, her child of perhaps
six summers, is sleeping in her lap. In the after
part of the boat, Old Ageis shown by an old man
and woman who have Travelled Lilies 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 a basket in her lap looking back evidently
reviewing the past. Time is represented by u
hardy oarsrnan, whose only care seems to be in
I.ullirg the boats crew across the stream, his
daughter in her sun-bonnet, very contentedIy
peers over the bow of the boat. The whole grou-
ping and style of the picture shows master work
of art, and need only to be seen to be admitted.
The Engraving is neatly printed or plate pa
per- 2Ox26 and I'D to subscribers at $500 per
copy. d. r. RUSSELL & Co,

From the late President OF the United States

nails devoted to literature and science which
abound in Europe and this country, the Living
Age has appeared to me the most useful.
From Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, May, 1867 ::
Were l. in view Of all the competitors now in the
feld, to choose. should uudoub ,edy choose the
Living Age. There is not in any library that
know of so much instructive and entertaining
reading in the same nnmber of volumes
From the New York Times The taste. judg
ment and wise tact displayed in the selection Of
articles are above all praise because they have
never been equallcd.
From the Springfield Mass Republican: We
can do those among our readers who love sound
and pure literature no better service than by refer
ring them to this sterling weekly. 1t is decidedly
the best magazine Of its class published in the
United States, il not in the world.
From the Boston Post: We venture to say that
in no other form work Of similar character
be fouEd of equal merit, at so moderate price.
From n Clergyman in Massachusetts, of much

TIE GREAT MEDlCiNEoY ruE WORLD.
Perry Davis 4 Sons ';PAIx KILLER,"
may mst justly be stylcl the great medi.
cine Of the world, for there is no region a
the globe into which it has not found its
way, and none where it has not long been
largely used and highly priced. More.
over there is no climate to which it has
not proved to be u we'll adapted for the
cure of considerable variety Of diseases
it is u speedy and safe remedy for burns,
scaLls, cuts, bruises, wounds, and various
other injuries as well as for dyscntery,
diafrhra, and bowel complaints generally,
and is admirably suited for every race Of
the globe.
1t is very significant fact, that nctwith.
standing the long Period Of years that the
g Pain Killer" has been before tho world,
it has never lost one whit Of its popularity,
or shown the least sign ofbecoming unpop-
ular; but on the contrary the call for il
has steadily increased from its frst tliscov-
cry by that excellent and honOrod man,
Perry Davis, and at no previous. time has
the demand for it been 10 great, or the
quantity made been 50 largo - it Is at the
present time.
Another significant fact il, that nowhere
hns the Pain Killer ever been in higher
repute, or been moro generally ussa BY
families and individuals; than il has bsen
here at home where it was frat discovered
and introduced, and where its proprietors,
Mcssrs. Perry Davis h Son, hare ever been
held in high esteem. That the Pain Xii.

How He LOST HIS TURKEYs..A friend
in the country left home few days ago
With wagon-load Of fat turkeys, for the
Christmas and New Years dinners Of his
customers in town. The cover Of the coop
became loosened on the trip, and whom the
wagon jolted over piece Of corduroy, -
would raise sufficiently for turkey to
make it, escape. "A footman At some dis
tanee behisx the wagon discovered the
gave, and calling loudly and waving his
hat, finally attracted the attention Of the
man Of turkeys, Who, without hating,
swung his tile in response, sapposing pro-
baby that the demonstration was only in.
tended a . friendly salutssion. This O.
CURED several times, when the wouId-be
bensfaetor gave up his efforts in despair.
When the wagon reached town, but two
turkeys remained, and their owner learned
when too late, the meaning Of the antics
he had mistaken for common civilities.

THE ExnIBIrI0N.-Mr. Vcncn's ex-
hibition, at the Olympic, on Friday even.
ing Of last week, was numerously attended,
and probably gave very general satisfac.
ton. While many Of the young ladies
read in tone of voice that was ina,fdiblc
few feet from the stage, those who sat
near enough to hear and form judgment
upon the merits Of the original cssnys,: pro-
nounced them very creditable to their re-
spective authors. As long as it is impossi.
bic for the girls to bid adicu to modcsty
and entertain an audience by their reading
or defamation, We seriously question the
propfiety Of placing them in n position
where they fail to interest large proper
ton Of the audience; and their embarrass.
mcnt is painful to both themselves and the
spectators. A modest department, howev-
er, is the browning glory Of female charac-
ter, and it is almost impossible to conceive
natural combination Of circumstances
which would justify its abandonment.
Some of the boys, on the contrary, exhib.
tied too much assurancc-in one instance,
observation-disclosures several acquitted
themselves very creditably. The recita.
ton Of "The Vagabond," by Fred. Law.
