OF an old friend in York, a lawyer, who,
pressed by hard necessity, had diverted
to his own use $500 due to certain

financial footing and repay her. But
"unmerciful disaster, followed fast and
followed faster until the poor fellows
mental distress was actually killing
him. Mr.. Stevens hunted up tho
client. paid her from his own
pocket the $500, obtained her re-
ccipt. and went to see his friend.
"Halloa! old fellow, he exclaimed, on
entering his office, "you must wake up.
Don't he down-hearted. Say, don't you

aston,shed friend, who thereupon recov-
cred his spirits, and, happily. his bust

Punch's l'artOOnist.

Mr. Terniers contributions to Punch have
been as varied in character rs they have been
uniformly excellent. He is equally at home
in pathos and tragedy, in playfulness and
satire; but underlying all his work is IA spirit
Of grave earnestneS which proceeds from
conscientious zeal He always honestly
strives to make the best of hrs subjects, how
ever uncongenial, and his remarkable skill is
an open secret that the jects for the weekly
cartoons in Punch are selected and discussed
ut the weekly dinner Of the staff, held every
Wednesday; and the artist must often find
his imaginative powers rather handicapped
and circumscribed 10y the political cxigencies
Of the hour.
The subject for tho following weeks picture
having been selected for him, or perhaps sug-
gestcd by himself he takes day to turn it
over in his mind, and on the morrow formu
lates his ideas on paper. He makes his dSpw
ing in pencil OH the wood, and rarely fails to
complete it at single sitting. 1t is finished
by the afternoon Of the day Oh which he
commences it, and it il sent Off to the engrav
er's tho same evening. He dispenscs alto
gether with models, relying on his own intu-
tive knowledge and skill. He is of necessity
Il rapid worker, for it il never safe to tackle
his subject till the last moment. A single
day may change the political situation and
upset the plans Of the artist.
Tho hardship Of working Mt high pressure
is that Mr.. Tenniers cartoons always run tho
risk Of being spoiled in the process Of engrav-
ing The technical skill Of the cngraver
leaves nothing to be desired, but the time ut
his disposal is barely sufficient to do justice
to the drawings under ordinary circum-
stances; and if Mr.. Tenncls work is delayed
by few hours. or oven if it is more clabor
ate than usual in its details, parts Of it have
to Ike omitted or cut away, to the great dctri-
mcnt of the original design. Another result
Of the system is that Mr.. Tennicl can never
enjoy the relaxation Of n regular holiday; for
with the exception of week or two some
years ago, his drawings have appeared regu
lnrly week after week without intermission
since 1851.
