A Bautiful Chrome.
MRS SNooKs WASHING TIE CHILDREN


If the religious press gets ahead of
the III Paso Journal we give it fair
warning that it must get up on it's
spine. We have stood the s'Sleeping
Cherubs," by the Christian Union; we
have gazed on the picture of wall
eyed virtue with which Brother Tai
mage ropes in subscribers fromN the
rural DISTRICTS; unmoved, BIT when
the Christian at Work sends us a
picture oftwo sore-eyed dogs watch :.
ing three morino lambs, and wants
JUS to pay them $40 forit, then, in
deed, the free spirit Of an American
citizen is aroused.
We want it distinctly understood
that we are in the chrome business
ourselves. =,
Hereafter every subscriber that
takes the El PasQ Journal will re-
ceive a beautiful chhom mo, entitled
"Mrs. Shocks Washing tho Children"
1T is one Of those beautiful home plot.
ures that ut once appeal to the fold
est and holiest ffeotions Of the heart.
Every man who seostit will at once,
"Would be wore boy again." when
being washed aud getting soap in his
eyes was one. OF the regular, Sunday
atllictions next to the catcchion.
In the foreground is Mrs. Snooks.
Before her is tub, and one of tho
orphans is struggling in the water.
The artist has seized upon the. mo.
ment when the. infant has just opened
his mouth for prolonged solo, but
Is dexterously checked by his mother
swabbipg his VOICE with sponge.
The manner iI which, a .strearh of
soapy. water is reprosentea running
down into the urchin's eye is very
finely done. In:. the other eye is
thrown all the added epotion of pent,
up grief and "sorrow that knows no
tongue.' We defy any man to see
this licture without being stirred to
his utmost depths. Mrs. Snooks' face
is study. 1t is such an expression
of motherly love, housewifely zeal
and beautiful, devotion to duty that
canle llkeped to nothing except that
seen upon the face of our motlers, on
wa,h days and at house cleaning
times. .,., ;.
Thrcr~o the children have alrea y
been washed. Their rosy counten,
Ances, bright with cxuberant health,
have been further heightened. ty ,the
art Of the liuiner, who has depicted
them suffering with colds as one re-.
suit Of their haths. At the same
time their .,complsxion forms an
agreeable contrnst 70 tho three be
hind the tub who have not yet bath
ed. This is finely done, and cost a
world of labor. "a. 80.
:; The whole formo an agreeable con.
trast to the naked chcrubs sent out
by tho religious press. 1t is q do.
mestic scaue, full of, holy joy. ga ,
tranq Utilized by a sweet and dfeamd
like peace. : u, =! = !.
In order to convey the idea that
even in 80 perfect home as this, sor.
row must enter, the artist has depict.
ed ono of the children suffering with
the measles. The way in which .the
measles blotches are struggling with:
the dirt on his nose, having !. captured
the last named organ, is one Of the
sweetest things, in. the ohromo line that
has over been presented =.
We are,now prepared to furnish
these chromos to every subscriber of
the El Paso journal. We append a
few certificates from prominent in~
dividuals: "~. =.

rhere smells of soap. '--Henry Ward
Beecher.

highest degree. No woman ought t
