formed. Their trade extends, not only
to the most remote parts of the United
States and Dominion of Canada, but all
over the civilized world. Messrs. Stin-
son * Go. are not behind the times i'm
understanding the great power of the
judiciOus use of printers ink, and i'm
this connection we wish to state that
during the last ten years they have
spent for newspaper advertising over
two hundred thousand dollars. Enter
prise, industry, and good judgment will
accomplish great things, and i'm the sue
cess Of this great Art Publishing House
We have striking example Of that
fact, and now they may, we feel sure,
fairly claim to stand ut the head Of the
Art Publishing business in tins country.
We have lately received four elegant
Steel Engravings just published by
Messrs. Stinson x Co. Size of each 80
by 10 inches. These plates were en-
graved in London by well known Eng
lish masters Of Art, and cost, when they
came into the owners hands, i'm Port
land, customs duty PAID, the great sum
OF almost thirty thousand dollars. The
reader shall have brief glance at these
magnificent works Of highart through
description.
First. The Welcome Step. After q
painting by q. @. Kilburne. Engraved
ON steel by w. III. Simons.
:" His very step has music int,
AS he comes up the stairs"
The artist as shown i'm an inimitable
manner a mother and beautiful little
child at the glad moment of the first
sound Of the welcome step Of the hus-
band and father. The picture tells Its
own story an hundredfold more power
fully than may be possible by any
words descriptive of 1T.
Second. Rustic Thoughts. Painted
by w. &. Il. Dobson, A. II. A. En-
graved ON steel by Bromley. In the
midst of broad u. Nbeautifnl land
scape, is seen, though ~ hidden by
the foliage, "A cottage. A rustic little
maiden has gone forth for n pitcher of
water. But 10, "What has come over
the spirit Of her dreaT,?' She stands
before you charmine~ricture of rustic
beauty, wrapped entirely i'm her own
meditations. The whole story Is plain
ly and truthfully told, and is compre-
hended at glance.
Third. Mammals Birthday. Paint
ell by w. T. G. DobsOn, A. X. A. En-
graved on steel by j. J. Chant. Here
is one OF the most beautiful scenes that
can be imagined, shown with great
power and effect. Two bright and
charming little girls are making a bou-
quet for their pamma; it is her birth
day. Beautiful flowers are the gift of
Gods goodness. This is one of the
most effective works of high art ever
placed before the American public.
Fourth. Ready. Painted by s. p.
Cockerell. Engraved on steel by X.
JOsey. The fame of William Tell is !
world wide, and the nerve, courage,
and powerful character exhibited by
both father and son in the shooting ut
the apple on the boys head, at the man
date Of the tyrant, has fired the hearts
OF millions Pen is p0weriess to des-
cribe the scene. Ready p'-every
nerve is strained and fixed-a moment
OF terrible suspense-the arrow has
sped straight to its mark. This sublime
work Of art must be seen tn be appre-
ciated, for no description, however
graphic, can give more than faint idea
of ii.
1t is believed and generally conceded,
that these engravings make up the
finest and most elegant set of works of
publishers. American homes should
be made beautiful by refined works of
art, and prices for really good and
meritOrious pictures are now 50 low
that there can be no excuse for the walls
to remain gloomy, unadorned, and
cherries. American homes should be
made beautiful, and the tendency of
this will be to make more refined and
beautiful the lives of all jewellers there
in.
