THE DOINGS OF DRINK.—TISS is tie title of a shilling coloured lithogreph picture to be ieseed by Brumby and Clarke, lithogrepliers, Hull : it is an attempt to indicate some of the visible products of drunkenness, the background being the public. house.s for selling intoxicating liquors, the brewery fIIA distillery, toe slum, and the pawnshop. From drunken drivers, fatal accidents occur at the crossIns, and the rum maniac, the sodden suicide, the draggled drinker, the oaralised roper, the beggars made by beer, the belligerent imozsr, and the gin victims are displayed in the alley and foreground. The artist is an engine fitter of Darlington—Robert Suinmeri—without artistic education, who has felt so deeply the woes of the drunkards that he has made thiscomposition—moved doubtless by the wish to do what he can to open the eyes of hie fellow men :,—he has gone also to the extent of naming his types, and sends one a key, so that tnere my be no mistaking who is who. His vereatili'y and determination must be admired, and those who have given him encouragement —Sir Wilfred Lawson Lord Carlisle, and others—tnev be twig& I to bavo so goo lii workmen to patronizt. A copy of the lithograph is in tne window of the Gazette Office, and the key may be consulted by those wha are curious in such enquiry. Orders may also be given for the print, whiou will be ready next inont'a. The YOUNG LADIES' JOURNAL, April part, is rich in fashion novelties for toe spring season.
