some tricks Of Painters

are derived, is reported to have painted a
basket of fruit 50 accurately thad birds
came and .pecked at it. 1t is, however
somewhat doubtful whether ibis may be
acc pied as evidences of the artists skill
when we consider how easily duped are
those members of the feathered tribe who
mistake cumsily-construc scsrecrow
for live peasant, or a lump of chalk for a
new laid egg. A far better instance of
success in still.life painting is furnished by
the story of George Morland, who, being
unable to pay the reckoning at an inn,
whore the thriftless artist had halted during
his vagraut wanderings, beat hasty re-
treat by low window. On the landlord
entering the deserted chamber he beheld
upon table what appeard the untouched
meal of his fraudulent visitor, but which
was actually painted representation of
the food with its corresponding plates and
dishes. The landlord, at first much ag-
grieved by the non-payment Of his bill and
tho damage done TO his furniture, was
easily appeased when certain connoisseur
purchase the painted table for price
which more than compensa ed the owner.
Riddles, flies, dead game, and other OBJ
jects have been initiated with such fidelity
as to be regarded by all persona beholding
them as original or natural productions,
and in a church on the Continent Il think
at Genoa) there is wall so cunningly
painted as to lead the spectator to believe
that he is gazing, not upon fat surface,
but upon continuation of the sacred in
terror. -AU the Fear Round.

TIN " ENGINE.

Into the gloom of the deep dark night,
With painting breath and a startled
scream
Swift as bird in sudden flight
Darts this Great ure of steel and steam.
Awful dangers are lurking nigh,
Rocks and chasms are near the track.
But straight by the light of its great white
eye
1t speeds through the shadows dense and
black,
Terrible thoughts and fierce desires
Trouble its mad heart many an hour,
Where burn and shoulder the hidden
fires
Coupled ever with might aud power,
1t hates, as wild horse hates the rein,
The marrow track by vale and hill
And shrieks with cry of sthrtled pain,
And longs to follow its own wild will.
Oh, what am bu an engine shod
With muscle and flesh by the hand Of
God, s
Speeding IN through the dense, dark
Guided only by the souls white light2
Often and often my mad heart tires,
And hates its way with bitter hate,
And longs to follow its own desires,
And leave the end in the hands of fate.

o, human engine of flesh and bone,-

Pretty story Of MRS. Hayes.

Every Saturday afternoon Mrs. Hayes
holds her regular receptions. and many are
the compliments bestowed by those who
attend, for the grace and dignity with
which she flls her position on these occa-
sions, A little incident which occurred last
Saturday afternoon fully illustrates the
character of the subject of this sketch. In
the line of those who were slowly pressing
their way up to where Mrs. Hayes stood,
were .wo persons, who from the popularity
of their dress and general demeanor at
tracted the attention of nearly every one in
the room. One was a woman Of very
uncouth and masculine appearance, and
about 40 years Of age. She had in charge
a very old lady. Both were poorly dress d
and the general verdict was that they had
lust come in from the country. They we're
not unobservant of the smiles their ap.
pearance created, or at least the younger
one was not; but she maintained rather
defiant air, relying, doubtless, upon the
right of every American citizen to appear
at such time and pay their respects TO the
lady of the White House Her com panion
who was quite feeble, paid but little atten-
ton to what was passing around her, and
seemed only anxious to meet the wife of the
President. Mrs. Hayes, eye had discovered
