Business Notices.

SPECIAL OFFER TO SUBscRIBERs.-In
another part of this paper may be found a
liberal offer to subscribers to secure merito-
rious work of art upon the terms stated in
the advertisement. Fifty-eight cents in ad-
dition to the yearly subscription price of the
paper will give you a copy of this superb
engraving by mail, securely packed and
postage paid. The plate is twenty-four by
tbirty-two inches The central figure is that
of the great poet seated on the right of
circular table, which is strewn with his
books and writing materials. The surround
ings are harmonious and symmetrical. The
artisan is in his workshop. To the extreme
left stands the carved bookcase, containing
all the poets own works in their original
manuscript. Hanging on the wall is por-
trait of Nathaniel Hawthorne, his classmate
at Bowdoin. The sage of Concord, Ralph
Waldo Emerson, also adorns the wall. The
chair was presented to him by the school
children of Cambridge, and is made from
the spreading chestnut which stood before
the old blacksmith shop. Samuel Taylor
Coleridge's inkstand rests near the open
desk on the table. Beside it lies the pen
presented by the beautiful Helen of Maine
and immortalized in his poem "The Iron
Pen" On chair lies the plaid, the personal
garment of, and presented to him by, the
celebrated Thomas Carlyle; and beside, also
present, is the waste-paper basket of the
greatest of Ireland's lyric poets, Tom Moore.
Last, but not least, the very room in which
he is at work is historic as that in which
General George Washington made his head
quarters while in Cambridge during the
first year of his command of the army of the
thirteen united colonies, from which he
issued his orders and in which he received
his military visitors and staff officers.
