She had not thought to pass away until after the New Year. and had her GUS tomary number of Christmas gifts purchased, which she bestowed last Monday, the day be- fore her death, conscious that her end was nearer than she had thought.

Painted by Geo. H. Boughton, A. R. A.
 Etched by c. P. Slocombe.
 Evarts Cutler takes pleasure in offering to his patrons etching by Mir. 0. P. Slo- combe, from Boughton's last painting, 'sHester Prynne."
 The artist has given page from one of Hawthorne's most touching stories, 1.-The Scarlet Letter." Cast out from the sympa- thy of her kind, yet watched with an ave- struck interest by her fellow-townsmen, Hester Prynne goes calmly on her thorny path of suffering and self-denial True to her adopted line of conduct, she is not hard ened by the general neglect into misanthro- py, but foremost with aid and sympathy in times of sorrow or need She stands with her little provisions of necessaries at the door of 8 suffering household with raised hand, as one in act to knock and enter, yet with the dropping eyelids and sad, dreamy gaze of one whose thoughts are far away. In the wan features, from which all giriish grace of contour is fast departing, and in the drawn, set lines of the mouth, the artist tells whole story of trial and struggle and pain, the eloquence of the solitary figure, calm and lonely in her errand of mercy, quietly wait ing in the bitter weather for the chance to aid other suffering than her own, is empha- sized by the horrid glance of avoidance cast at her by the passing townsfelk in the back ground. It is this deep suggestiyeness, this fine, grave pathos and delicate feeling which constitute the peculiar charm of MT. Bough- toms work, and which any treatment less severe and gravely harmonious would be apt to impair.
 The present etching by MT. Slocombe is, in consonance with the character of the work, kept in the very simplest and strong est line and tone. The execution is peculiar Iy bold and firm, and the story concisely yet amply told.
 MT Cutler offers artists proofs at $50 each The price will undoubtedly be much higher-p probably about double, in a very few weeks.
