Yet. ail this is nothing , to what the great Bunnlebutt has since dune ou . the momentous coal question. Buniflcbutt is, himself, a ereat manufacturer, and consumes no end of tons of coaU every week. Our daily in creasim? nnnmininLlnn nl rnala an rankles in his heart that he sees the day wnen It will be all up i with England and her coals, together. To avert - this stupendous calamity, the mighty nilnd or the far-seeing Bunelebutt has been hard at , work, both in and out of Parliament, until the , interesting result has been the production of . hin truly sttinping work. "Our empty Coal ccl , lars, and What's to Fill them?" Only think I A book on the great coal ques tion, eonsmthiff ol one thousand-and-one closely . printed pages lilletl ff0,n beginning to end with . a never-ending variety of statistical tables.trom . which t even the most hunery statician can appease his appetite to his heart's content I Only think 1 Twenty-one editions one thousand each of "Our Empty Coal-cellars,1 and What's to Fill them f" de voured in the short .pace ot twenty-one days, by twenty-oue tliou , eand admiring political economists and stunned staticians, each and every one ot whom talked himself clean out ot breath to twenty -one more almost driven-mad political economibts and stunned stotlciaus who .had not been tortunate enough to make a purchase of "Our Empty Coal- cellars, and Wbat's to Fill them." Nevertheless, twenty one editions, of one thousand copies each, demolished in twenty-one days, is not half enough to satisfy the craving ol the public upon tliis home-touching topic. All heads (especially the thickest and hardest) are tilled with, BunglebuU. The fame ot liuu glebutt resounds everywhere, morning, noon, and night. Every twenty-lour hours the name f Bunglebuit turns up in every column of every morning and evening newspaper, no mat ter what may be its price or its political color. Then who can wonder that the twenty-second and much augmented edition of "Our Empty Coal cellars, and What's to Fill Them ?" has gone to press 1 But at the last moment, when the panting public are almost at the point ot frenzy for this twenty-second and much augmented edi tion, the splendid idea strikes somebody that It should be adorned with a portrait of the great Bunglebutt, "beautifully engraved upon steel, in the highest style of art." Jolterhead, the eminent photographic artist of Lower Pighurst, who has accomplished no end carte de vlsites of the mighty Bunglebutt in every possible pose sometimes with his left foot thrown over his right foot, with his hat in his right hand, and sometimes with bis left hand upon bis left hip, and his hat upon the table, against which he rests gracefully-has just accompliued & great triumph, in the shape tal Bunglebutt himself that "Our empty Coal cellars, and What's to fill them ?" should here after be delivered to the pantine public embel lished with this photographic' portrait of the great Bunglebutt, "beautifully ei.graved upon steel, in the highest style ot art." The dreadful consequence of this "at the last moment'' determination is, that Pickpeck, the engraver, is sent lor, and is comniandingly re quested to engrave upon steel the portrait of Bunglebutt in the "highest style of art," irora a muzzy and black-as-your hat photograph, as quick as "a flash of lightning." There is no help for It; the public are panting for the twenty-second and much-augmented edition of "Our empty Coal-cellars, and What's to fill them?" The book is ready to go to the binder. It is, therelore. Pickpeck, the stipple eneraver, the dawdling Pickpeck, who alone keeps, as it were, the cellar-door of publication shut up, and simply because he cannot enerave, "in the highest style of art," the portrait of Bunglebutt aVquick "as a flash of lightning." However, whether the great Bunglebutt is "beautifuUy engraved in tho highest style of art'' or not, the art and mystery ot engraving a Dortrait unon steel is not to be accelerated beyond "putting on the screw,!' in the shape of working nignt ana day; tins poor nckpecK does, but engraving even a book-portrait upon steel Is a work of time for all that; besides Which, Bunglebutt is the proud possessor of a peculiar obliquity of vision in one eye, and that blmple, if not beautifying, circumstance will bring much wailing and woe upon Pickpeck, the eneraver. betore Bunelebutt 1b done with. It happens to be halt-past 1 P. M., on Monday, -wnen jncupecic nas undertaken the flash of lightning" impossibility. The muzzy, and black-as-your-hat photograph has been delivered to him; the size of the steel plate has been settled upon; and so, to save time, although it is two miles out oi ms way yet on nis way home, Pick peck posts along to the steel-plate maker, to order nis piate; out someDodv has ordered halt' a-dozen "flash of lightning" plates five minutes before the arrival of Pickpeck, so Pickpeck is content to accept the promise that he shall have His "Hasn 01 lightning" nlate last thinor on Wert. needay night, or first thing on Thursday morn ing. Here's delay what is to become of "Our empty Coal-cellars, and What's to All them ?" What Is to become of the panting public t Down with PlckDeck 1 Pickpeck returns to his home to prepare for action, xne cm serious tuing to oe accom plished is, to carefully trace the outline of tha portrait. Pickpeck selects a fine clear piece of srciaiine, or glass caper, fastening it down over the portrait, which, being a photograph, does not show as perlectly through the glass paper as Pickpeck could desire; nevertheless, with the aid of a magnilyine-glass, and his properly sharpened etching-needle. Pickpeck manages to trace, that is to say, slightly to scratch or cut, on the upper surface of the glass paper, the outline of Bunelebutt s in ales tic countenance, as it shows itself through the transparent sheet of glass paper. At length th steel plate arrives; wheicupon Pickpeck well washes with turpentine the polished side thereof, besides further polishing that same side by friction with whiting; then be prepares to lay an etching-ground, flavins ttrmly fastened a band vico 10 one end of the tteel plate, by which it may be held out atarm's length, then, with sundry pieces of paper tntnnlnil 1 1 n n t, .1 ,1 ...... .1 .11 . i .' i a ; . f , uuiji.u vjj.

The mysterious compound called etching ground carefully tied up in a piece of silk is a mall globe, not u alike, in size and color, a rather corpulent brandy-Dall; a sweetstutf vnown to most or as in our childhood, f The steel plate being sufficiently boated, Pick' pee passes his silk-covered bell oi etching ground up and down the polished side of the fcteel plate: the warmth contained in it causing the etching ground to flow out freely throueh the pores of the silk covering; this leaving acme men-urn ot the steel plate what look JLie 19 ttauy streaks of treacle.

BeneatE this .extemporized ceilinir Pickpeck flickers the lighted wax taper of ehfhf wicks to and fro, so that the smoke arifilna from the wax-taper flame ascending to the steel-plate ceiling, that smoke sinks into and amalunm itself with the etching-ground, which is still meltingly hot; the consequence of this loPt performance is. when the steel plate becomes cold, that th mixture of wax-taper smoke and melted etching-ground hai produced a polished locqucr-like coating on the steel plate, causing it to resemble a well-japanned piece of black tea-trav. The steel plate being quite cold, and the etching-ground perfect enoueh to satisfy Pick peck who is very fastidious in all these opera tionshe prepares to "turn off the tracing." Putting the glass paper, upon which the coun tenance of the wise Bunglebutt has been cut, or scratched, or traced, over a piece of white paper, but with the tracing uppermost, Pick peck proceeds to sprinkle a little lead-pencil dust on it, and then, with a small piece of cot ton ran. swecos. or brushes, as much of the lead-pencil dust into the traced lines as they will hold. lie soon ascertains when each line is well filled, by their suddenly appearing black, owing to the white paper underneath the trans parent f-hcet of gelatine, or glass paper. And now to effect the transfer of the trucinir on to tho etching ground. The glass paper, on which is the "counterfeit presentment" of the tremendous Bunglebutt, is laid with the traced side downwards upon the etching-ground itself, and, when it ts fastened in position, Pickpeck, with one of his choicest burnishers, proceeds to burnish over the upper or non traced-upon tide of the glass paper. The nleasimr result ot this operation is, that, as tho burnisher parses along, ltpresfcs the lead-pencil dust out ot the lines of the tracing on to tho etchinn-eround. and all so perlectly that, upon the removal of the glass paper, the eye of Pickpeck beholds every line of the tracing shining like threads of silver on the black japanned-looking etchiug- g round. stow the valorous i'ickpeck can com mence his etching; that is to say, he, with his etching-graver, begins to perforate the etching-ground with divers and innumerable dots, dug down into the steel, along the trans ferred lines ot silvery peucil-duf.t, represcntins in outline tho figure-hca I of the profound Bun glebutt. Pickpeck arrai.ges his dots accord ingly along the lines aloresaid. just as his judgment conceives they will best carry out, in an artistic manner, this much-desired repre sentation. The etching completed, the bright dots dug into the steel bright because sur rounded and relieved by the black etching- ground now blasse away until the etching seems to represent a kind of starry firmament turned upside down, and composed ol countless niumination-iamps on a small scale. The etchincr comoleted. Pick neck has nothlner to do but to prepare himself, and the steel plate, for the "biting-in" a process whereby a certain acid, called nitric, antagonistic to steel in all its notions, will do, in a few minutes, what even an entraver could not accomplish so well, were he to labor no end of days. But, belore bitiug-lu, the tteel plute must pe "wiiiied," and then "stopped out."j Jtor the purpose of walllnc the plate. Pick- peek gets a small pan of lukewarm A-ater, into Which ne puts the wan-wax, or Doroering-wax, as it is variously called: the same being a com pound of common pitch and beeswax, in equal proportions. VV hen this wan-wax is suuicienuy softened bv the warmth ot the water, Pickpeck, upon his table, rolls itout. until it looks like an extra-long piece ot stick-liquorice, dui not quite so big in its circumference; then with the.thumb and the first finger of both hunds he presses the round stick ot wall-wax to a nat, uoout the eighth of an inch in thickness to one inch in breadth. The next thing to De uone is 10 piace this flut strip of wall-wax on its side edge, rouud the entire etching; where it somewhat resembles a littlo great wall of China, made oi naruoase, but without the almonds. The edge ot the wall-wax resting on the steel plate, Deing se curely pressed down, so as to cause it to adhere firmly to the piaie, anu noi uuow me uuiu w escape beneath the wall, the remainder of the plate between the wall and the etching altnoupli it is aireaoy coveruu wuu me cia;uuis ground, is nevertheless now covered over with a coating of Brunswick black, fresh from the bottle, and laid ou with a camel-hair brush; the Brunswick black uemg carried rouna me base of this little great wall of China, with every possible Icare, the lmore4efl'ectually, by such attentive stoppiug-oui, 10 Keep me aciu wuuiu bounds, and thereby prevent "foul biting" a kind of accideut most repugnant to the soul of Pickpeck. On the left side oi tne steei piate, while erecting the wall, and while tne wax s t-till warm and pliable, Pickpeck, by a dexterons aetton or his nngers, presses oui a spoui w auow of the acid being poured off the plate with In creased facility. At length the stopping-out Deing peneciiy dry, with a small-spouted jug half full of nia- ngnant-sme.iing acid grasped in nis ten nana, ncKpect looks one moment oown upon iue bright siiininer dots of his etchine: the next moment the deed is done; the acid is pourad ou to the etching confined within the limits oi the little great wall of China. The ctchlug- ground and the Brunswick black being both impervious to all acidical attacks, the acid bbs nothing to do but to tumble, headforemost into the dots, dug through the etchiug-grouna into the steel below. The acid uo soouer tum bles Into the dots, than they almost immediately lose their brightuess; just as tnougn tne aciu, being so puguaciously Inclined towards steel, had suddenly given every individual bneht dot a black eye. Anyhow, the acid ts fighting tor its life in these dutr-out dot holes: the acid is tearing off minute particles of steel, and throw ing mem up out or the dot holes in sucn multi tudes as to cause u brownish cloud to be seen floating about the little lake, the pungent odor from which has already begun to tickle the nose oi x-ivKpecK. rut the time nas now come lor Pickpeck to intertere. 8wiitly he pours off the Held from within the little great wall of China, rapidly supplying the place of the acid with pure water; which operation he repeats aiain ano again, so as to wash thoroughly the dots that have been so much belabored bv the vio lent conduct of the acid. Upon pouring oil' the water and drying up the few bubbles that have remained loudly hanging about the etching, Pickpeck conies to the conclusion, on a close examination, that the tilling is suflicient. Be moving, therefore, the wall, and washing off tho etching-ground and the iiruns wick black with turpentine, tne stcei piato once again appears silvery white: while the dots,-owing to tho vigorous performance of the acid, appear jet b'nek; whereby the mighty Bunelebutt looks up at ncKpt-CK m urunuui uuinue. All things, such as acid, Brunswick black, wall-wax. and other Diiina traps" beiue care' fully put away, Pickpeck sits down to beiu engravine in earnest, i irst, then, he proceeds by diggitig the point of his si ipple-gwiver down into the steel plate, aud thence chippiug out a minute particle ot that metal to lay a tint of tiny dots all over tho expressive face of Bunglebutt; sometimes placing the dots close tocether. thereby to render the finer markings of the fi-ntuvps: sometimes placing the dots wider apart, as various muscles swell out and rive the varied rotundities of Bunglebutt's countenance. When one tint ot dots has been laid down nil over the creat man's face. Pick peck, bv means of a Dowerful rnagnifylng-glass, Is enabled to place a second dot close to the aide of, the first dot Siamese-twins fashion thus he proceed Upon his way, patting dot here, and a dot there, and a dot wherever his artistic itirtgment tells him a dot should be placed. Buch is the art ,and mystery of stipple-engmvirtt-upon steel; and so Pickpeck goes on dotting from day to day, until he was wrought out, by means ctthese multitudinous dot, a fair representation of the "form and pressure"' of a Bunelebutt "in his habit as he lives." But, say what you will, engraving noon steel i a very slow process; therefore, pickpeck has no help for It, but to go on dot, dot, dottin? with his greatest vigor; first oppressed by the heat of the sun dnring the day; then, baked almost beyond endurance by tho heat from hli oil lamp at night. And thus, although the head of Bunelebutt, as It is being engraved, is no bigger than a bronze penny-piece, Pickpeck has to dot, "dot, dot, his countless dots day after day, beskles suffering from all the ills which an engraver's flesh is heir to. These are ills that come In the shape of Indit lerent gravers; one giaver Is too hard, and away flies its point as soon as it touches the steel plate, making, instead of a dot beautiful in shape and clearness, an ill-formed dent, pro bably twice as big as was required tor the pur pose. Sometimes the result of this sudden snapping of the point of the graver is a slip, which brings with it loss of time first to erase the slip, and then to make good the surlace of the steel plate. Tho next graver, and the nett after that, will be, in all probability, too soft, and here is more trouble for Pickpeck; nearly half his time t& lost in resharpeniug his gravers, for, the moment some of them touch the "teel plate, their points get doubled up. Thus, Pick peek lrets and lumes, and fumes and frets, and carries on his work "through difficulties ot which it is useless to comolain," as Johnson ob served concerning the labor of his Dictionary. Yes; all this Pickpeck has to do, to an extent which makes hlra feel with bitter force the fur ther words of the great lexlcoerapher; lor the engraver dots away, day after day, "without one act of assistance, one word of encourage ment , or one smile ot favor" from anybody. But after all this work and labor, after all this dot, dot, dotting, to get out the true light and shade of Bunglebutt's sage countenance upon taking a proof at this middle stage of the en graving, the proof looks rather white and ghostly; consequently, increase ot power must be had quickly, and can be had quickly by what is called rebiting; therefore, Pickpeck prepares for the more than usually delicate operation of "h rebite." For laying his rebiting ground, Pickpeck does not use the ground he employed for etching upon, although that would serve the purpose very well; but Pickpick is a particular fellow in these matters, and has, therefore, his special corpulent-looking bmndy-ball-colored ground for rebiting; yet the materials composing these grounds are the same in both cases that is to say, virgin wax, Burgundy pitch, and asphal tuni; but it is by the most subtle cunning that the proportions have been varied, so as to make each ground the more efficacious for its particu lar department. In this operation of rebitine, the first thing that Pickpeck has to do is beautifully to cleau the engraved surface of the steel plate with tur pentine; then, placing a lady's silver thimble full of whiting upon the well-cleaned surface, with a little fresh turpentine added, wherewith to make the whiting into a kind of paste, the same is then laid completely over the plate, and, when quite dry, the superfluous whiting being brushed off with a clean piece of cotton rag, the surface of the steel plate will suddenly appear as bright as polished silver, while every indi vidual engraved dot and line looks somewhat pretty, being perlectly tilled with dry and hard whiting. But this muet be removed belore the ground can be laid: so, with a piece of carefully selected stale bread, quite free from the least speck of grease, Pickpeck gently rubs the stale bread over the encrraved parts when forthwith the whiting leaves the dots and lines, wl4ch are then observed to sparkle like diamonds of the purest water. The steel plnte being thus prepared for a rebiting ground, and at the back or under side of the plate the proper amount of warmth having been applied, tne first important thing for Tickpeck to do is to pass down the margin of the plate the silk-covered ball ot rebiting ground, w hich, as if by magic, leaves in the wake ot its passage what looks like a stroke of treacle. This is then gently manipulated about the margin of the plate by means of a series ot (leucine nuts or riahs with tne remtins aaDoer, until thp crrnnnl la rlitfiiMprl about aud tblnned down into i homogeneous tint, like a layer ot leaf-gold. Now comes tbe trial ot skill. From this leaf-cold-lookine tint of rebiting ground. lvine on the marein of the plate, Pickpeck begins to pass with his dabber over the engraved surlace with tne gentlest oi an genue pats, and, as his manipulation is this time pcriect, the satisfactory result is that over Bunglebutt's expressive nead and snoumers mere presenteu ppcars a golden film ot rebiting ground, the fame retting upon the blank bits ot steel situated between and around each liuc and dot that has been engraved up:m the steel plate; moreover, every dot is i-hintng away through tne golden Dim ot rebiting ground, nae so many homwoputhic spangles: lor if the smallest parti cle ot the rebiung ground nad tiowed over the sides ot any line or dot, and so down into these graver-made cavities, tne acid would very po litely decline to act therein. The next thing to be done is for Pickpeck to carehilly cover over with his Brunswick black all such parts ot tho engraving as he does not desire to rebite. Then, onco again, Pickpeck surrounds the steel plate with a second little great wall of China, composed ot the same kind ot wax that the first was made with. The Brtius wick black being'carried home to tho back of this little great wall of China, the process of stopping out the plate for rebiting is complete, wnue tne uruuswicK oiacK win, in a compara tively short time, be dry enough and hard enough to decline letting the acid make way through its coat, so as to do damage to the sur lace ot the steel beneatn. Pickpeck prepares to pour bis rebiting acid on the plate and within the mystic circle of watl- wax. As belore observed, the engraved nortion ot the nlate. not stonoed out with hrmiRwiek black, is only covered with a d ;lieate irold-leat- looking niin oi reoiting grounu, wmcn, thin and delicate as it is, being nevertheless perfectly laid, scorns the most desperate attack of the acid; consenuentlr the ncui aforesaid la tin dinner poured upon the plate than it pops down into tne dots, taking tuclr shine ou in no time. As in the case of the etching, so with the engraving, minute Dorticles of metal are torn awav. whence every dot is being enlarged by this violent mode or proceeding ou the part oi the acid. And very sharp and attentive work is this rebiting, lor all that Pickpeck wishes to aecomnlisn. though of such great importance, is neverthe lesson steel almost of a momentary nature In its work ills'. An instant too lomr nnu. the winking of "Pickpeck's eyelids and the work of aays may be undone in han a t-ccoud. But late is this time kind to I'ickpeck; his re biting is a success. Nay, more, though Pickpeck, in his anxiety to see a proof, starts on' himself to the steel and copper-plate printer at full speed In the broiliug sun, as though he were walking tor a heavy wager, his proofs are beautiful, tor all the nice operations of the skilful "prover" are Biiecesstul. Pickpeck would, not withstanding his toils, begin to feel a HUlo hfippy, were it not for that ohlttiuitv of vision on the part of Bunglebutt which circumstance uus ine ueart or tne engraver with misgivings, But still he works on manfully, toning here, burnishing a little there, and attendiug to all the refinements of drawing in every part of Buuglebutt's lace, until he is enabled to submit what Is. as he Hatters himself, a very satisfactory finished proof. This, however, does not end tne woes ot i'ickpeck. The sous and daughters of Bunglebutt to say nothing of the wile of Buu glebutt's bosom all make their remarks upon the r-urnving. 'x nese remaras me uigniy complimen tary toBunglebutt.and, asalnaturalconseciuetue, very uncomplimentary to the eueraver. The prodigious Bunglobut himself writes a letter of remarks. This letter fills four pages of the largest cream -laid note-paper. The writing is very small and very close, and the remarks are directed at the Inartistic manner in which Pick peck has rendered the expression of "the left- hand eye." I To speak in nlain and honest Encllnh. Pick neck believe thut the oblidUltv nf Itn I left eye is a positive squint an uncoinproiulitoS squint; and tfiai he has rendered Us esf re'sBiOn 'i perfectly, even fb Hh most subtlo reUnement of drawing. However, the Bunglebutt family perceive in "ihe leit-nanu eve" ot their ercat papa the real livo eye only "a stern expres sion of deep meditation, combined with a pro fundity of philosophical thought." Upon that. Bunglebutt criticizes, in three pages of closely written note-paper oi tne largest size, tne rcttne- ment of expression to be observed in what he calls "the left band eye;" all of which in tellcctual repression, in the united opinion of the Bunglebutt family, he, Pickpeck. has entirely missed. After this, nothing is left tor I'ickpeck but to throw, as well as be can, his whole soul into the soul ot Bunglebutt, and to do his best to coax and coquet with that same lelt-band eye, engraving divers dots, first a little on this side, then a little on that side, then a trifle above, then a trifle ncio w; wun a tew very renned dots placed in the very apple of "tne leli-hanl eve" itseli. After doing all this, there are more Journeys to ine stcei and copper-piaie printer, and more finished prooisto be submitted, to be followed by more criticism: for the Bunglebutt family think a great deal of the "profundity of philo sophical thought," which they perceive in that parental "left hand eye," a most evil eye to Pickpeck. But all this monstrous long time the panting public are clamoring with frenzy for the twenty-second and much-augmenten edi tion of "Our Empty Coal-ceilars. and What's to Fill Them " embellished with the portrait of the author, which was to have been engraved Mike a flash of lightning," but is not done yet. Consequently, a finished proof has to be sub mitted for a third time, and has to be a third time criticized; this necessitates a fourth finished proof, which, although the Bunglebutt family still think . the eneraver has not ninte entered into all the depths of expression to be observed in "the left-hand eye," is happily ac cepted by them; while, taken altogether, they admit the engraving to be a very nice engraving, wnicn win doubtless be received by the panting public as a decided adornment to "Our Fimptv Coal cellars, and What's to Fill Them?"
