Chromos as Inducements"

A Western cotemporary, the III Ptso jour.
nal, makes the following m Ignificent offer as
au inducement to those who will become sub
scrlbcrs to that paper:
Hereafter every subscriber to the EI IitS0
,J0urndb will receive "A beautiful chrome EMIT
led Mrs Snooks Washing the Chilren.' 1t
is one Of those beautiful home pictures that at
once appeals to the fondest and hoiest Office
tions of the heart. Every man who sees it
will at once would he were a boy again,
when being washed and getting soap in his
eyes was one OF the regular Sunday Affections,
next 10 the catechlsm.
In the foreground is Mrs Snooks Before
her is tub, and one of the cherubs is strug-
CLING in the water The artist has seized upon
the moment when the infant has Just opened
his mouth for prolonged solo, but is dexter
ously checked by his mothers swabbing his
voice with sponge. The manner in which
stream of soapy water is represented running
into the urchin' right eye is very finely done !
! La the ether eye is thrown all the added emo
| tien of pcnt-up grief and sorrow that knows
/ no t0nge" We dely any man to see this pic
ture without being stirred in his inmOSt depths.
Three OF the children have already been wash
| ed Their rosy cOuntcnances form an agreea-
| BILE contrast to the three behind the tub who
have not yet bathed. This is finely done, and
cost a world of labor.

the naked cherubs sent OHt by the religious
press 1t is domestic scene, full of holy JOY
and tranquilized by sweet and dleam-like
peace
La order to convey the idea that even in SO
perfect q home as this sorrow must enter, the
artist has depicted one of the children suffering
with the messesl The way in which the
mease- botches are struggling with the dirt on
his nose, having captured the last-nlmed Or
gan, is one of the sweetest things in the chro
mo line that has ever been presented.

every subscriber Of the EI PnSo Journal We

viduals:

I ty to him, and swells with the thought that his

ty to him, and swells with the thought that his
attractions have made one woman miserable.
Just such case came under my observation
lately. A man with a half dozen children and
one son grown, lost a wife wEo had always
kept him in proper subsection. He was misera-
BILE at first, of course. By and by it began to
be mitigated misery, and he boughta new coat,
had his hair cut and his whiskers trimmed,
and wore becoming necktie. Then he was
seen talking to the school teacher, who was
maiden lady who did not know her own age !;
was poor and hard worked and had her mother
to support.
Our widower was we'll to-do; was a member
of the church, and bore good character, and
when OF an evening he was seen turning from
her house, it began to be said: "What nice
thing it would be; so suitable she was accus-
toned to children, and would make his a good
mother" Things went on this way for lit
tie while, then he was met there several times
by mutual acquaintances, and he appeard con-
fused and stammered, and said something
about business. Friends began to question
and joke him, but he denied the soft impeach
| ment.
The woman began to wear an anxious look.
He was as sef-satished as ever but his visits
| to her became fewer until finally they ceased
altogether, and his public recognition was lin
tied to a smile and bow.
OOOn he was known TO DC devoted TO young
er, gayer, brighter woman, and the poor school
mistress went on with her weary teaching with
a heaviness Of heart visible in her languid step
worn face, and listless manner, all of which
betrayed the disappointment she would fair
have hldden-a disappointment not of the af
| fectlons, but of the many other passions anC
feelings which enter into our lives, and make
the blasting of hopes when youth is past quite
as poignant as any suffering which could arist
from the sudden dspelling Of loves youns
dream.
So it is that some men, upright, honest, anC
| honorable among their fellows, good father
and good citizens, so long as they deal an,
mix with men, are yet, in their intercourse
with women, beset with spirit of intrigue ant
unfairness. The truth is that women inhuen
cling and affecting men as men do not atfec
each other, either call forth all that is trues
and most magnanlmOuS in men nature, or ar
the cause OF the exhibition OF many little vice
and feelings which, but for the intercourse be
tween the sexes, would lie dormant. Men ex
hibit side Of their character to women tina
none but women ever see, and this exhibitio
depends very much upon the character of tn
women they come in contact with.
This playing at cOurtship' is a dOubl
game, in which edged tools are used. Some
times one and often both suffer in the encour
ter and the spoil won by the victor is only
dlsgraceiul badge. = Cincinnati ComnlerciaL

The LOST ARTs.-A great deal of nonsense
has been uttered by sensation lecturers and
magazine writers about wonderful arts which
persisted with the ancients. To trust in the
lamentations Of these wiseacres over the lost
arts, one would think we had fallen upon
very degenerate times indeed But none of
the dolelul stories are true. Cleopatra no
doubt was very fine woman; but she never
dissolved pearls in wine Archimedes was a
great man i'll his day. buthe never set fire to
the Roman ships with burning glasses, as the
fable relates. The ancients had no useful arts
which we do not understand better and prac-
tlce more skilfully than they did. The humb.
lest American mechanic could teach the pol
lshed Greek and the cunning Egyptian sciences
and arts of which they never dreamed The
ancientS, indeed, did many wonderful things
which have not since been repeated but they
are only such things as are not worth doing
over again. If We had occasion to build such a
FOOLISH thing as IA pyramid we would improve
on our model Ill every respect; and, instead
OF keeping a hundred thousand halfstarved
slaves at the work for twenty years, we should
turn it out finished in few months If any
| people, nowadays, lived in a condition like the
anclcnts, they would be objects for sincere pity
and 1t would be our duty speedily to send mis-
slonarleS among them. What laTentable
sight would be a nation Of great mental vigor,
laIt-clothed and poorly fed, tilling the earth
with wooden plows-without soap, pins, fric-
ton matches, or india rubber How queenly
would one OF our factory girls appear to them |!
How magical the art of a clock maker Beg
garS nowadays, with regard to the substantial
comforts OF life, fare better than ancient kings

The rules Of politencss are never at variance
with the principles of morality. Whatever is
really impoite is really immoral. We have no
right to offend people with our manners Of
conversation. We have no right to deal with
or be influenced by gossip about the people we
meet. Their private affairs are none of our
business. FIVE believe msn to be unfit COM

We meet him where he has been invited by

AN INNOCENT OLD LADY.-The other day
on a Michigan Central train coming East, says
the Detroit Free Press, was an old lady who
had never travelled great deal She wasn't
used to the ways of the book agent, the pea
nut boys, and the prize-package nuisances,
who pass through the train every few min
utes. When the peanut-boy came along and
dropped big African peanut into her lap she
shucked it, opened her mouth, and dropped the
kernel down., instead of regarding it with silent
contempt, or pitching it out of the window.
The book-agent came along and dropped
book into her lap She said she was =" much
obleeged,' aud she carefully locked it up in
her valise. The prize- package boy came along
and dropped sample, and she wondered how
the rold couId afford to give away so much
When he returned, she had opened it, and
was wearing the breastpn and eating the gum
drops The book agent came back and wanted
his book, and before she would give it up she
called the conductor to see if it was right
The car boy wanted pay, and she appealed to
the passengers. When she understood that
he was right, she handed over twenty FIVE
cents, with the remark:

one chapter of which (as n critic asserts)
he "eleVates the character of the spi-
der" It is pleasant, at any rate, to
know that he has found out enough
about the creatures feelings to elevate
science in the direction Of mercy. The
story is briefly as follows MoRgridge
has been in the habit of immersing for
preservation his different specimens OF
spiders and ants in bottles of alcohol.
He saw that they struggled for a few
minutes; but he thought that sensation
was soon extinguished. and that they
were soon free from suffering. On one
occasion he wished to preserve a large
female spider and twenty-four of her
young ones that he had captured. he
put the mother into bottle Of alcohol,
and saw that after a few moments she
foidel her legs upon her body and was
at rest. He then put into the bc tile
the young cnes, who, of course, mani
tested acute pain. What was his sur
prise TO see the mother arouse herself
from her lethargy, dart around 10, and
gather her young ones to her bosom,
fold ler arms round them, and again
relapse into insensibility, until at length
death came TO her relief, and the limbs,
no longer controlled by this maternal
instinct, relaxed their grasp and became
dead. The effect of the exhibition upon
him is a lesson TO our common human
ity. He has applied chloroform before
immersion. Judging from the above,
the spider is superior to the human
animal, in the fact that alcohol does moi
DESTROY her natural affection.
