scene thoroughly before us, in spite of the

scene thoroughly before us, in spite of the
bald art of the designer.
Now let us turn to the neighboring
plate, in which Mr.. Dicksee has illus
trated the pretty story that johnson
tells, of how the actresses all bowed and
smiled to him before they went upon the
stage. The drawing is charming piece
of workmanship, but it does not tell its
story. DIR. johnson, with very grave
face, as though he were censuring the
pretty actresses who curtsey to him,
stands with his back to the stage-door,
while Topham Beauclerk, who is in front
of him, with his hat on, seems to indicate
the ladies, as though explaining some
misconduct of theirs to the doctor.
There is no smile ON any of the faces,
and johnson, in particular. looks actual
ly scared. 1t would be impossible, with
out a reference to the text, to discover
what the incident so illustrated was. In
this extreme case it does certainly seem
that Thackeray gives greater aid to the
reader than Mr.. Dicksee, though we may
easily exaggerate even Thackeray's fideli-
ty to his own text. For instance, in the
drawing called cave Caesar" Thackeray,
has depicted the Prince on a sofa, in a
state apartment, although in the body of
the book he says that he was in a bed
room. An amusing instance of the same
inconsistency occurs in "The
Rose and the Ring" where Gruf-
fanuff and the Princess are shown present
ing the bun to Betsinda, whose feet are
both bare, although in the text special
emphasis is laid ON the fact that she had
one shoe or; and in the next page, al
though the action is only five minutes
later, Betsinda is represented dancing
before the King and Queen with quite a
different appearance, different clothes,
and this time with one shoe on. So we
see that even the author is not always to
be trusted and the probability is that
most people of imagination form in their
own minds portrait of Becky Sharp OF
of Harry Warrington which Is as differ
ent as possible from the authors and
which no persuasion of his would induce
them to give up.

PORTSMOUTH. OHIO, David Alingsworth.- -
For years David Allingsworth suffered with
rheumatism, and Notwithstanding the best med
ical attendance, could not find relief. He came
to the Scioto County Poorhouse, and had to
be carried into and out of bed, on account
of his hopeless condition. After the failure of
all the remedies which had been applied,
the Directors OF the Poor-house resolved to
use the celebrated German Remedy, St. Jacobs
Oil, and this was fortunate resolution; for with
the trial of one bottle, the patient was already
much better, and when four bottles had been
used upon him, he could again walk about with
out the use of cane.
The facts as above stated will be verified by the
editor of the Portsmouth. Ohio, Correspondent
