ITAyEBCKT. ;It wns cold and dreary Winter; thick the ' mow lay on the trround, 'And the- wind it whirled shrilly, wltf a sad na msariiitti sound; Ttroach many a rapping cranny came the howllntf of the I'iant, And the strargler arew his cloak around, and ehaddered as be puued. Iters was darkness in the heavens and dark- nfs in the street, And all other sounds wete swallowed in the mullER of the aleet. On the loaky roof it pattered with a motion sirango and dread. And a noiso that might have issued from the dwellings of the dead. In a low and gloomy garret, a wasted figure 1st, roi, ennnrsed, unleaded In the deepening twilight pray ; Her eves were ileming brightly, bat the nohow, ghastly stare Told of coming dissolution, wrought by sick &ess and despair. The straw was scant and meagre, and no fire rare out heat. And save the bare, uneven floor there wss no other seat ; And a rsgced child was kneeling by his moth er, hkf awake. And sobbinz at her misery as though his heart would break. Day broke, and rsea came thronging to gaze upon the sijiht Of a woman who had serlsbed of starvation In the niffht; And there were twelve whoscanned the corpse with cold a careless eye, To discover, thin its permitting, how the crea ture came to die i I could not bear to hear their Jests what mattered it to m "Where they bore the senseless body, so the eoul Itself was fust No friend was U:ft u t,ui la my steps to Join me in ray play, Jo I turned my I ak upon them all, and sob t bmg, il&lawayl .1 tamed my back upon them, and sobbing, flislawar!

All 2ay I wandered Idly, little heeding where I strayed, Thouc ii icy feet were hare and froicn, and the wind at random r-iayed. Each gust that swept around me sent a shiver to my core. But the fire thet Mazed within me made - me senseless to its roar. ' Another nigh! drew on apace, and from many a window hlt;h Came the cheenul fire lipht, glimmering on the stragglers passing by; And the voice of mirth and revelry was borne . upon the air. To hearts where prlcf had set its eeal, but found no echo there. Taint with walking and with hunger, (food I had not known that day.) 1 stole within a frlndly porch, to sleep my cares away ; But a hand wad I lid upon me, and a rough voloe bade me rise, And that night X found a shelter that a va grant might deep iso. It were Idle to detail how, from day to day, I Brew, Spurned by Christian men, and doomed to wear a harsh existence tnrouuh, Uow, by natural gradations, in the course of passing time, 2 learned at last to lead tho lifo that's led by men of crime. First, trammeled as a vagrant In a prison's loathsome cell, Where men' of blood and men of peace In s trance communion dwell. Then forced by sheer Starvation to trample on the Law, "What other course had I, when Death was knocking at my door ? I was bom with human feelings I was born with human soul, I am fashioned like my fellows, and we seek , a common poal ; Then why, Instead of friendly words and ad monitions kind.

God, that made me, te my witness ! but to end this fearful strife I would work my fingers to the bone to lead an honest life t But when I seek employment I am viewed with scorn and f'r, And the purse-proud sons of fortune mark my garments with a sneer. And all backs are turned upon me, and the lovely paws me by. As a thing of blight and leprosy, to famish and to die ! But 'tis past. I thank my Maker ; my blood is ebblne slow. My breath is failing fast, and cold and dim my cyebi.lls grow. The grey walls of my prison cell no longer meet my sight. And round about me gather shades that mock the gloom of nihl My limbs have lost all feeling, and across my brain doth come A dull and death-like throbbing, like the beating of a drum ; ily nerves have ceased their motion one Etrucgle 'tis the lat ! A groan a gasp a shiver a sigh, and all rj past. ProgTCts of American Cronio Lithography. Mr. Prar.c: ia rapidly increasing his buelnp"9 .nd improving his beautiful art. He has begun his contemplated F: lated 'Gallery of American Painters,' a which he proposes to produce at least one characteristic picture by c&ch of our eminent artists. He has already published every landscape by Britcher, several protips of chickens asd tha like by Tait, several fruit pieces by Lily 5l. Spencer, and Miss V. Cranberry, of New York, a couple of ' genre pictures by Nile, of Boston, a series of Rugbies ''jretns" in oil colors besides a great variety of illuminated texts and cards by Miss Jennie Lee, of Jersey, and cartoons and litho graphs by Ir. Homer, and others. lie has now In active preparation "A New England Winter Landscape" by the late Mr. Morveiller of Maiden ; a Ccrure piece, "The Barefooted Boy," by Estman Johnson; "Eater Morn ing," by Mrs, Theresa Hart, wife of James Hart, tho landscape painter ; two brilliant pictures of children in tho woods, "Tne May Queen" and "The Little Rouse," by Mrs. S. O. Brown; "The Shipwreck of Steer forth," by Moran: "The Friends," by Girud; "The White Mountains in October," by Mr. George L. Brown ; "The Boy of New York," by the same artist; "The Falls of the Yo Semite," by Bierstadt ; the fruit pieces by S. W. Fuller; "Cherries and Basket," by Mrs. Granberry ; and besides these he has a number of other compositions on the easels of distinguished New York Jtaintera. Tait is hard at work on his avorito subjects. We are not atlibcrty to name the paintings by foreign ar tists that are t be chromoed as rapid ly as possible, because, in the absence of an international copyright law, fine art publishers are liable to the same annoyances which are now experi enced by tho publishers of foreign books. The "Winter Landscape," by Mor veiller, is a picture as asseiitially New Englandish if we may coin the word as pumpkin pies or Thanksgiving, tlorveiller made a speciality of winter scenes, and was admitted to be the best painter of snow in America. This Is one of the best uf his small pieces. It represent an old farm house by the road-side, with its inevitable L's and out houses ; grandma in the yard en raged in ftoding poultry; a group of fckaters on a frozen stream hard by. With spectators looking at the sport; In the distance, the villajre, which is hidden by the trees on its out-.kirts A grand old elm, under whose wide cn the other side of the re;td, eems to have been photographed from every fatally homestead in Maspachusetts awsy from the great iron Ihorough f ires The picture is a pleasant one ; for it'his a warm, cheerful glow such U every cne delights in, on "rine !rrrr.-." in winter vrhen tiie snow v dT "find the Mgh bellaare ring ircrrilv cn every road. Cf the Yo Semite" is a tt-"-r.tc Ut of Ci-IifornU scenery It! Etait' wtll-Lira etyle. It threading t)rfl.nctes tnc iann-uouse is built, is rendered with wvaderful fi rfLitv Eivi spirit: and th apple-tree. by a pair of water fowl that tiovti vw. and rest on the rocks at the shore. Ab rupt, ttecp and rugged ciitfs over a part of which tumbles headlong, a graceful waterfallfrom the Southern boundry of the lake ; and a fricg of gigantic branchless fir-trees skirt the Northern shore. It is a careful study after nature and every touch ia Bierd stadtish. The "Barfooted Boy" is a true ar tist's rendering of Whittier's familiar lines: "Elesslnns on thee little man, Barefoot boy with checks of tan; With turned-up pantaloons And thy merry whistled tunes; With thy red lip, redder sVU Kissed by etra wberrlfs In the hill; With the shun6hine on thy face Through thy torn brim's Jaunty grace; From my heart I cave thee joy I was once a barefoot boy J Prince thou art the grown up man Only Is republican. Let the million dollared ride; Barefoot trudging st his side, Thou hast more than he can buy In the reach of far and ey-, Outward hunshinf, inwardjoy. Blessinjttn thee, barefoot bey!" It represents a comely rustic lad, clad in coarse homespun dress, with his trousers turned up, his hands in his pockets and the brightest of "knowing" yet innocent smiles on his face and. in his eye. His face is half shaded by his broad-brimed hat; his feet are firmly planted on a grey rock ; he looks so hopeful, so self-reliant, so entirely at his ease, that he seems the perfect incarnation of Young America. The accessories of this picture are a distant landscape with a tree in the middle and foreground. They are well handled, but they serve only to support the figure, which is one ouhe best pieces that Mr. Johnson has ever 1 roduced. The "Fringed Gentian" after New man, is one of those fearfully and wonderfully elaborate and tiuthful renn sentations of vegetable life in which the pre-Raphaelite school of arts of Isew xoik ana elsewhere, seem to delight. It is in water colors It lo ks as if it had been drawn with the a d of a microscope the nxit Lil liputian details are so exactly repro duced. It is one of the most diflicult subjects to chromo, and we shall take an interest in examining me icsuiu Among the fruit pieces in press, juding from the original, we prefer the ."Cherries" ana tne "fcirawDer ries," of Miss Granberry, which are certainly admirably rendered, with a luscious fidelity to nature. Mr. Ful ler's pieces are highly finished and harmonious in color, but it strikes us that the subjects are less likely to be universally popular. The "Friends," bv Giraud we for got to name in our list, is the picture of a little girl, who is petting a New foundland dog. Qiraud has an axcel- lent faculty for the conception and ex ecution of this class of subjects, and this is one of his happiest eilbrts. It will charm the children everywhere. In an entirely different style, but of the same character, are the companion pictures by I. G. Brown, of New York. This young artist excels in genre pic tures ; he renders children with a rare ability, especially when there is a sin gle figure at rest, but in an attitudeex prossive of mental action. These sub jectsthe "May Jueen" and the "Little Rogue" are just suited to his peculiar genius. The "May Queen" is a little girl in the woods, brilliantly attired, self-adorned with wild flowers, bathed in sunlight, her eyes beaming with dehght at tne thought of surpri sing her friends by her new and gay decorations. The "Little Rogue" is the picture of a boy, four or five years old, who is trying to hide himselffn.m somebody coming which somebody he is evidently intending to startle. He is stooping under a sumac bush, which he gently bend over him. This gives the artist an opportunity for a brilliant piece of coloring. It is au tumn, and the declining sun shoots its rays through the misty atmosphere, brightening the gay hues of the sumac leaves and warming up the surroun dings of the figure, which are rather cold and low in tone. The two pic tures contrast finally ; the clear, bright summer glow of spring in the "Mav Queen" being harmoniously off e against the dreamy, misty autumnal vapors irt the "Little Rogue." Mr. Brown regards these pictures as his masterpieces. "Easter Morning," by Mrs. Hart, is a massive marble cross, hung round about with fuchsias, pansies, yellow rosea and other exquisitely tinted flowers. It is a combination entirely novel, peculiar, and lovely. We have seldom seen, an effect so original pro duced by a combination of such simple and familiar elements. There is an affluence of quiet beauty in the wreath that is essentially harmonious with Easter and its sacred memories. It is altogether charming. If there is a single flaw in it we have failed to de tect it. As far as the chromo has gone it bids fair to rival the original ; but we reserve our judgment Uxn it until it is completed, we know only that if it is at all comparable to the exquisite painting, it will soon be one of the most common ornaments of our boudoirs, vestries, Sunday schools and libraries. The last painting on our list was handed in as we were taking notes of th new publications. It is a small reproduction of "The Crown of New England" a painting which, both in England and America has secured for Mr. George L. Brown some of the highest encomiums from artists and art critics, which American produc tions have ever obtained.' Glowing, poetically truthful, full of brilliancy and light and beauty, it represents the White Mountains, when they are seen to the best advantage when, as the portrait painters say, they are in their "highest moments" transfigured un der the early morning of a late Octo ber day. The original on a large scale is on exhibition at the Art Gallery of Childs & Co., where it has been visited and admired by thousands of our wealthiest and best educated citizens. If this beautiful creotton, this lyric on canvas, can be reproduced in facsimile, it will mark an epoch in the art; for the vapors and mists that encircle the mountain sides, the subtile gradations of light and shade, and the marvelous blendings of colors and tint9 render it exceedingly diflicult either to imitate or duplicate. It is gratifying to know that the popular demand for pictures is almost in the exact ratio of their artistic ex cellence. Every touch of nature, whether in canvass or chromo, is in stantly recognized and applauded. The best things sell best ; no reputa tion avails against the fact as -it is. "Ruggle's gems" have not paid ex penses; whereas Tait's groups go off with amazing rapidity. Of Britcner's pictures, on the other hand, "The White Mountains" and "Esopus Creek" and "Sawyer's Pond" (a little gem) and one or two others have a steady and rapid sale, while some oth ers do not move off at all. The people have a truer taste than they generally have been credited with in the critical doomsday book. It is a faith in this instinctive taste that has borne on Mr. Frank to the rare good fortune that has rewarded his efforts. Berwick. MISS flAUY A. SIMPSON, TTTT.T.TNER .
