Read the following notice from the Boston Transcript:
1.-THE perfection of Photography seems to be reached in the
pictures produced Mr.. ID. A. Clifford, % Winter Street. In
the great majority Of photographs Of human subjects, the
most casual observer cannot fail to perceive that the more
prominent lineaments of face or form are ludicrously exag
gerated, so that hands are made to appear quite bloated
noses decidedly swelled, ears enlarged, shoulders shrugged,
&c. All these monstrosities mot to mention others) are
avoided by Mr.. Clifford, whose artistic excellence is specially
noticeable In the admirable drawing Of his pictures, wherein
the relative proportions Of limbs and features are preserved,
and all the effect Of "A painting secured. lie is equally sue
cessful with landscapes, rs his charming views Of the scenery
around Lake Winnipiseogee, &c. a~bundantly attest. Mr.. &.
has all the improved facilities known to his profession, and
executes at short notice fine col0red photographs Of all styles
and sizes, porcelain pictures, stereoscopic pictures from life,
&c. His rooms are well worth n visit"

PEN sPATTERs.


1t is not always the dark place that hin
ders. but sometimes the dim eye.
Libertlity may he carried too far in those
who have children to inherit from them.
Wisdom is the talent of buying %virtuous
pleasure ut the cheapest rate.
Prefer loss before unjust gain; for that
brings grief but once; this, fore yer.
Poverty like othet DULLES is formidable
only to those who show that they are afraid
of it.
Virtue, though in rags, may challenge
more than vice set off with the trim of great
ness.
He who gives advice to Il self-conceited
man, stands himself in need of counsel from
another.
Wit should be used as u shield for defence
rather than AS a sword to wound others.
He cannot speak well that cannot hold
his tongue.
He that bites on every weed must need
light on poison.
The stream of life forks; and religion is
apt to run in one channel and business in
another.
The wife who would properly discharge
her duties must never nave u soul .'abovc
buttons"
A Brooklyn mother advised her daughter
to oil her hair, and tainted away flat when
that candid damsel replied, 'Oh, no, ma;
it spoils the gentlemen's vests!'
An Irishman quarreling with IN English
man told him that if he didn't hold his
tongue he would break his impenetrable
head and let the brains out of his empty
skull.
Squabbles, an old bachelor, shows his
stockings, which he has just darned, to II
maiden lady, who contemptuously remarked,
pretty good for n man darner.' Where
upon Squabbles %rejoins, Eyes, good enough
for a woman, darn her."
a Berkshire papa puts it thus to his
daughters beau: Jim! if you want Lu you
can have her; but | dom want you hanging
around unless you mean business. IF YOU
intend to marry her hurry up, for cant be
kept awake nights much longer.
Most controversies would soon be ended
if those engaged in them would first accu-
rately define their terms, and then rigidly
adhear to their definitions.
The last word Is the most dangerous of
Internal machines. Husband and wife
should no more strive to get it than they
would struggle to get possession of n lighted
bombshell.
1t is evident that the most worthy efforts
fail, while the worst succeed. This fact
alone ought to show the folly of basing an
estimate of character on a superficial reckon
ing Of results.
All this talk about early rising is all
moonshine. The habit of turning out of bed
in the middle of the night suits some people;
let them enjoy it. But it is only to lay down
a general rule upon the subject. Some
men are fit for nothing all day after they
have risen early in the morning. Their
energies are deadened, their imaginations
are heavy, their spirits are depressed. 1t is
said you can work so well in the morning.
Some people can, but others can work best
1T night; others again in the afternoon.

lovely inland sea. surrounded by
''forests primeval. and nestled in
the bosom of the Rocky Mountains.
Some trappers have insisted that its
waters ran both to the Atlantic and
the Pacific. but such Is not the case.
The summit Of the main chain, how
ever. approaches within half a mile
of its south shore. and in places the
divide is very little above the lake.

stretching inland, as if II wash away
the Rocky Mountlins. Between
these inlets project high. rocky
promontories. covered with dense
timber. The largest stream flows
into the lake at the upper end. or
the extreme southeast corner. Tins
stream is really the Yellowstone
River, which. for a distance of
thirty miles, has an average width
of over fifteen miles. This enlarge
ment constitutes the lake. which, af

smaller streams, narrOws down to
the width of an eighth of mile.

WHERE THE Sun NEVER SETS
The following graphic paragraph is
from the description of scene wit
messed by Mr.. Campbell and his
party in the north of Norway, from
a cliff one thousand feet above the
sea:
The ocean stretched away in silent
vastness at our feet; the sound
OF the waves scarcely reached our
airy lookout; away III the north, the
huge old sun swung low along the
horizon like the slow beat of the
pendulum in our grandfather par
lOr corner. We all stood silent,
looking at our watches When both
hands came together at twelve mid
night. the full round orb hung
triumphahtlv above the wave-and Il
bridge of gold running due north
spanned the water between us and
him. There he shown in silent
majesty, which knew no setting. We
involuntarily took off our hats; and
no word was said. Combine, if you
can. the most brilliant sunrise and
sunset YOU ever saw. and its beauties
will pale before gorgeous coloring
which now lit up the ocean, heaven
and mountain. In half an hour the
sun had swung by perceptibly on
its beat. the colors changing to
those of morning, a fresh breeze
rippled over the flood. one songster
after another piped up in the grove
behind us-we had slid into another
lay.

Mount Washington, describes the weather
TO have been very mild and springlike
before the oath Of March. The neigh
boring mountains were bare, the pale
green of the lichens giving them the APP
pearance of summer, the, houses upon
the summit were entirely clear OF ice,
and the surroundings we're very different
from what they have been during the
winter months. Since the oath there
has been snow, rain and ice, aud the
