SUNDAY EASY CHAIR.
AT EvENTIDE.


Low burns the sun; soft evening zephyrs stir
The silent copse; while DER the yielding turf
Full starred with yellow diadems, and bloom
OF myriad rose-tints warm, sweet odors steal.
wave Of peace deep, indefnable
O'erspreads the waiting earth; low, mystic tones,
More palpable to soul than sense steal through
The dreamy hush. as when the lutes soft strings
Vibrate to responsive touch, and waken
Tones that linger round its throbbing wires
And speak to us, when ears list not.
0 Death Lilies truest Friend-come hither
when
The sun thrills the earth with its sweet, parting
kiss;
And in the golden glow, touch lips and brow,
And mold them into perfect grace; that when
Love comes with old, passionate caress,
1t may behold the wondrous hush of peace,
And learn its higher, nobler destiny,
And wake to sweeter bliss Ger marble calm
Imprint the Souls great glad surprise, that Love
May whisper softly: It's not Death, but Life,
And she hath learned its blessed mystery J!

The Boss Racket.

A dealer in pictures is quoted as saying that if
a roll of formerly unsuccessful artists was to be
called to-day in the New York, Boston, and Phil
adelphia places where they resorted three months
ago, not one name in twenty would be responded
to- The absentees are earning wages of S15 to
$50 week by making portraits. The land is
overrun by canvassers in solicitation of old and
new photographs, ambrotypes, daguerreotypes,
even the hand-drawn miniatures which pre-
ceded all forms of camera portraiture, to be
copied and enlarged in oil water colors.-
About all of the book agents, lightning rod men,
and sewing machine persuaders have gone into
this new invasion of rural homes As many as
hundred of the copying establishments have sprung
up in different parts of the country. A writer
went to one manufacturer in the guise of pos
sible taker Of agency. "This is the boss racket
and don't you let it elude you," said he. "There
amt dwelling in the whole United States that's
not full of dingy old miniatures. One-half the
talk necessary to sell yard of lightning rods or
barb-wre fence will capture order for $50 worth
of copying. The women don't require five min
utes persuasion, and the men surrender just about
as quick. It's walk over for the agent-that's
what it is. He pockets exactly half the money on
the orders that he turns in. Do think novice
can succeed at it? All you've got to do is to in
vest Sc in what we call outfit; that is some
sample pictures and magnifying glass. It's the
magnifer that mostly does it. You get the woman
of the house to show you wall picture-a me-
mento of some deceased relative. Then you make
her look at it through the glass, to show her how
big it would be when enlarged. If there are
blemishes in it-scratches, spots rubbed off, and
what not-so much the better, for you can safely
promise her that they will all be repaired in the
copy. As inisher, you can guarantee bouquet
in the hand, some alteration in the dress or any
popularity of complexion-and there you are."
