The Discoyerer of Photography.

One of The most interesting questions
the name OF the original discoyerer of
photography, and certainly one of the
most pertinent circumstances tending 10
solve the mystery is that which is
related of an old house At Sean,
near Burlington, where the renowned en-
gineering establishment of Watt & Boul-
ton was originally founded, and in which
house Boulton lived. He died Ia 1909.
and on removing the contents of his IL
brary. many years after. there was found
q large figure. picture by West, which
was on two sheets of paper, inircately
cut at the joining place so that the line
of union might fall at the edge of shadow,
and not be perceived when the two halves
we're pat together TO form the complete
picture. Further research also led to the
discovery OF u couple of silveled metal
plates, each about the size of sheet OF
note paper. precisely resembling those
used by Dasuerre in the early days oi
photography. On each OF these plates
was faint image of the house of Seho,
so Enthusiastically taken from nature. and
SO evidently produced bv the aid OF light,
that all experts of any authority at once
pronounced them TO be photographed pic

dun stating that they were sun-pictures
representing The house prior to certain al
terations made in 1891. Subsequent in
vestigation proved that there had once
been found Camera in Boulton's library
answering in description to the kind Of
instrument required for plates OF that
size. This evidence saLs,antIated, will
go far to prove that the discoveries of
Niepoe and Dagurre were anticipated 10y

The evening OF the s,h of November,

that evening Mr.. Ullman produced Mey-

the first time 10 this country, and We
were unexpectedly visited by a snow

dramatist made their debut together.
Winter opened with slew movement of
heavy snow flakes; an andante, soft and
melancholy, and breathing of polar drow

gave the city the air of being laid out for

white table. Through the hoar drifts that
lay along The streets peeped The black

Marriage has in il less of beauty, but
more OF safety than the single life; II hath
no more ease, but less danger; it is more
merry and more sad; it is fuller of sorro rs
and fuller of joys; it lies under more bur-
dens, bat il is supported by all the strengths
of love and charity, and those burdens are
delightful. Marriage is the mother OF The
world, and preserves kingdoms, and fills
cities and churches, and heaven itself.
CeIibacy. like the fly in the heart of an ap-
pie, dwells in perpetual sweetness, but Sits
alone and is confined, aud dies in singu-
larity; but marriage, like the useful bee,
BULLS a house and gathers sweetness
from every flower; ard lsbors and unites
into societies and republics, and sends oct
colonies, and feeds the world with delics-
c;es, and obeys their king, and keeps or
der, and exercises many virtues, and pro-
notes the interest of mankind, and is that
state of good to which God hath designed
the present constitution Of the world
