Pictures.

Picturc-frames ought to be distinguished
in color from the remaining furniture OF
the room, since part Of their design is
to isolate the picture which they cncasc
For the same reason they should not cor.
respond too nearly in their decoration
with the other objects in the room. On
the other hand, however, they should not
be out Of harmony with the predominant
color of the room, and might better har.
moniZe in tone than by contrast; neither
should their ornamcntatiQE be out Of
keeping with the general st. lc of decord..
ton observed in the rest Of the furniture.
Pictures Of medium size should be
hung with their ccnters nearly level with
the Observers eye. They should DO hung
fiat against the wall, and not, as is often
the case, fitting out. When they project
from the wall there is nm unpleasant sense
of Insecurity md n confusion of lines and
the projection of shapclcSs shadows upon
the ncighboring wall. They should also
be secured by two cords suspended from
two nNils,-hcavy cords for large pictures
rather than thin cords or wircs,-in order
to preserve the idea of. security. Two.
parallel cords hanging perpendicularly
arc in better keeping with the parallel
lines Of the room than the unpleasant,
triangular form made by cord suspended
by n single nail and attached to the two
sides of the picturc-framc. r..
Oil paintings i'll gilt frames have the
best effect against hungings of olive-gray,
more or less deep, according to, the tone
of the picture. Penrl-gray, or normal
gray, little deeper, is good tint to re-
ceivc cngravings and plain Autographs in
gilt or ycllow-wood frRmcs.-Intcr-

AL the World.
All the world is full Of babies,

All the world is full Of babies,
SobblnS, siGhing everywhere;
Looking out with eyes Of terror,
Beating at the empty air.
Do they sec the strife before them,
That they cob and trcmble SO:
Oh, The helpless, frightened babies,
Still they come and still they &c.
All the world is full OF children,
Laughing over little Joys,
Signing over little troubles,
Fingers bruised and broken toys;
Wishing To he older, larger,
Weeping at some fancicd woe,
Oh, the huppy, haplcss children,
Still they come and still they 90.
All the world Is full Of lovers,
Walking slowly, Whispering sweet,
Dreaming dreams and building castles
That must crumblc at their feet; !.
Breaking VOWS and burning letters,
Smiling, lest the world shall know,
Oh, the foolish, trusting lovers
Stlll they come, and still they 20.
All the world Is full Of people,
liurryinS, rushing, pushing by,
Bearing burdens, carrying crosses,
Passing onward with sigh;
Some there nrc with smiling faces,
But with heavy hearts below,
Oh, the sad-cycd, burdencd people,
Sill they come md still they 90.
All the earth Is fun Of corpscs;
Dust and bones laid there to rest;
This the end that babes and children,
Lovers, people, find at best.
All their fears, all their crosses, o..
All their sorrows wearing SO,
Oh, the silent, happy cOrpses,
Sleeping sOundly, lying low.
