THE LANCASTER INTELLIGENC ER I ing at him, wrenching the knife from be
tween his teeth, and so getting the advan
tage ; but even that I was not capable of,
so overcome was I by the surprise and
horror of my situation, and through all,
such an insatiable curiosity possessed me
to know what he was about to do, for as
yet I could only conjecture that his pur
pose was to murder me
He struck the match against the wall
and lighted the candle, and then took the
knife from between his teeth, and took
firm hold of the candle in his hand. I felt
faint and sick, when I fully realized then
that my last chance of escape was gone.
He bent over me, flashed the light full
upon my eyes, and perceiving thit I was
awake, exclaimed ; with a wild kind of
laugh,—
' Ha! ha! Awake, eh I—Ha! ha! Glad
of it, sir ; I meant to awake you, if you,
hadn't done it yourself. I consider it
Cowardly to kill a sleeping man.'
And he laughed at me again, and peered
into my face with his rod-hot burning eyes.
I could see at once that he was mad, and'
I saw the horror of my situation was in
creased. At first, I had thought him a
robber, or—l hardly knew what I thought
—but now, I knew that he was a madman.
From his own words, heintended to murder
me, and I felt that little short of a miracle
could save me.
After he had taken a good look at me,
he sat down upon the bed, and to my in
tense horror began slowly running his
finger, with great care along the edge of
the knife—evidently he had no intention
of suffering by the experiment. And then
he said,—
' I don't intend to kill you just now—
perhaps not for an hour—but I guess
that's about the longest you have to live.
First, I mean to have a talk with you.
Do you know where I came from V
I did not, indeed, and I told him so
wishing within myself, with all my heart,
that he would take it into his crazy brain
to find his way back there and leave me,
to sleep in peace.
You don't know, eh ? Well, I don't
mind telling you. Don't yon see that
spire away there to the left?
N - , I didn't see the church spire, nor
anything else in the world at that moment
but the burning eyes of the maniac. So
I told him I didn't see the object he spoke
of.

THE SIREN BELL
I dreamt that I heard a siren bell,
With a silvery echo clear,
And a musical cadence soft and low,
And a chime of tunes 1 did not know,
And I held my breath to hear.
Marvellous sweet was this siren bell,
And my dreaming soul lay still,
As the sound of the bell came over the lea,
Chiming ever joyously,
Came chiming over the lea.
It pnte me in mind of my distant home,
With the willows hanging low,
And the tinkling brook that ran in the shade,
And the trouts that fled from the shadow I made
To the darker gulfs below.
And it called to my mind a fair little maid,
With a sweet little merry blue eye,
And a flood of streaming yellow hair
Falling down her shoulders bare,
As she looked up into the sky.
A sudden fall in that siren bell,
And the wind lay still on the lea,
And again I saw that little maid
Gently in her coffin laid
In a grave-yard by the sea.
But ah! fond Memory, cease thy spell,
For sadness dims the dream,
And hush the voice of that siren boll
As it rings its music down the dell
And floats it on the Stream!
But still rings on that siren bell,
And over in the air
A choir of angel-voices seem
To mingle strangely with my dream
Of LEONORE the fair.

PAIRED, NOT MATCHED.
This is an amusing matrimonial sketch of Boon's,
from which we take a few stanzas:
Of wedded bliss
Bards sing amiss,
I cannot make a song of it :
For I am small,
And my wife is tall,
And that's the short and long of it.
When we debate
It is my fate
To always have the wrong of it;
For I am small,
And she is tall,
And that's the short and long of it
. And-when I speak
My voice is weak,
But hers—she makes a gong of it ;
For I am small,
And she is tall,
And that's the short and long of it
She has, in brief,
Command-in-chief,
And I'm but aid-decamp of it;
For 1 am small,
And she is tall,
And that's the short and long of it
Twd Hours with a Madman.,
It happened one time that in traveling
across a tract of country where I had busi
ness, I got benighted, and about 8 o'clock,
my horse and myself being tired and
pretty nearly worn out, I drew rein before
the door of a comfortable looking farm
house, and dismounting, knocked at the
door with the handle of my' whip. It was
opened by a little girl who stood in the
doorway, holding a candle in one hand, and
keeping back her . thick curly hair with the
other, while she looked at me half shy, as
if demanding my business.
My dear,' I answered to that question
ing look, is there any one in the house
besides yourself
Yes, there is,' she answered ; father
and mother, and the boys.'
Well, ask your father to come here a
moment, I want to speak to him.'
She retreated and entered the room be
hind her, and in about half a minute the
farmer came out. I made known my busi
nesss, explained that I had been overtaken
by the night, that my destination was
several miles distant, and that both my
horse and myself were unfit for further
traveling till we had procured food and
rest.
With the hospitality common to all
farmers, especially American ones, my host
for the night bade me welcome, conducted
me into a large kitchen, with a floor so
white that you involuntarily pitied the
hands and arms that had brought it into
such a state of cleanliness, and bade me
seat myself before the blazing fire while
supper • was being got ready; and then;
not forgetting my horse, he told one of the
boys to feed him and take him to the stable.
After supper, as I felt unusually tired,
I asked to be shown the place where I was
to pass the night, and was conducted to a
comfortable room with a downy bed, white
counterpane and curtains, upon - the second
floor, by my host himself; after bidding me
good night, he left the candle with me and
departed, closing the door after him.
Tired and sleepy as I was, I hurriedly
undressed,-went to bed, and in five minutes
was soundly sleeping. A grinding grat
ing sound awoke me—at what time I don't
know—but the moon, which did not rise
till very late, was fully up, its bright ,rays
streaming in through the window, from
which I had purposely looped back the
curtain, that the first streak of daylight
Might wake me, as I was anxious to pro
ceed on my way. There, sitting full in
the -moonlight, was a man with a long
carving knife in his hand, which he was
sharpening upon a piece of grindstone, and
which I now perceived made the sound
that had awakened me. I thought surely
I was dreaming ; or, if I was awake, what
in the name of heaven meant what I saw
And still the man leisurely ground the
blade of the knife, and in a perfect stupor
of amazement I lay perfectly quiet with
wide open eyes looking at him.
In a few minutes he stopped grinding,
and passing his finger carefully along the
edge of the knife, he nodded and shook his
head knowingly, to intimate to himself
that he had brought the blade to a proper
degree of sharpness. My blood ran cold;
a kind of panic seized me when I saw that
action, and the cool, calculating smile with
which he held the knife
,up between him
and the moonlight, looking at it with the
air of a connoisseur. Then he leisurely
got up, stepped over the table where I left
the candlestick, and commenced looking
around for something—a match, I con
jectured. •
While his back was turned, the idea of
slipping from the bed and bolting out the
door suggested itself to me ; but before I
had time to act upon it, the match was
found, and holding the candle in one hand,
the match in the other, and the handle of
the knife between his ong, wolfish teeth,
he came over towards the bed. Even .then
I might have attemped to escape by rush-
Don't see it eh ? How blind ? Why
see there 3' And to aid me in discerning
this imaginary object, he rose and went
toward the window and looped back the
blind still father back. There—see it
now P
No,' I said, I don't see it yet;' and
I hoped he would try to pull the curtain
still further back, or pull it down, or
something—anything to divert his atten
tion from me a moment longer, that I
might leap from the bed and bolt out of
the room.
I was already sitting up, and to glide
down upon the floor was the work of an
instant ; but ; at, that moment the madman,
annoyed that I couldn't see the church
spire, dropped the blind, turned around
quickly, muttering,—' blind, blind ;' and
instantly comprehending my intention to
escape, bounded toward me with a spring
like a wild-cat, and catching hold of me
with his bony hand, waved the gleaming
knife over me in such close proximity to
my face as to be anything in the world
but pleasant.
' Oh, you will, will you I Just lie down
there—still now=still, or I'll kill you
before even the half-hour is up. Lie
down !'
And with herculean strength he lifted
me up with his one hand—and I was no
feather in weight, I can tell you—and
bounced me down with a force that shook
the whole bed.
I did lie down, and seeing that I was
inclined to obedience, he directed my
attention to the window again, by inquir
ing—
Do you see the church spire now ?'
I didn't see it any clearer than before,
it being slightly impossible, as no church
spire existed within ten miles. But I saw
that the maniac was getting irritated at
my want of capability to see what did not
exist; so I thought it might be as well to
keep upon good terms with him, and to
his question this time I admitted I did see
the spire.
Ali, good, good. Well, under that
spire is a church, and around the church
is a grave-yard. There I live, and there
I came from. It's very lonesome sleeping
there in the damp, cold ground ; and the
grave worms—ugh ! to feel them creeping
along, over one's skin—so slimy, and slip
pery, and cold, banqueting upon the warm
flesh of the dead ! They say the dead
are cold ; it's a lie, sir, a lie ! Feel my
flesh ; is it cold ?'
• He bared his skinny arm and forced me
to lay my hands upon it.
There, is that cold ?'
•
I told him no.
4 Is it warm 1'
I replied that it was, and he continued—
'They make it cold—the grave worms
do. They make it cold and slimy as they
crawl over it. Did you ever feel the
grave-worms on your flesh V
I shuddered with disgust as I told him,
No.'
You didn't eh ? Lucky dog, lucky
dog! But your're not dead yet; wait a
while, and you'll feel them, just as I do,
pretty soon.'
And he whirled the carving-knife round
and round his head, and then brought it
down with a sudden swoop till he grazed
my throat.
With a groan of agony, not for the
slight scratch, but the horror of mind
under which I was, I recoiled from the
glittering blade, shuddering as if I would
have sunk down through the bed—down,
through the floor. How I wished in my
soul that I could have done so—down
anywhere out of that horrible presence !
With a loud laugh the maniac observed
my terror. and then he said,
Frightened, eh? frightened! I won't
kill you for half an hour yet. I'm going
to experiment upon you. I think I'll
bleed you to death, just to try how long
it will take you to die, eh ? what do you
think of it I'
What did I think of it? My God! I
thought nothing, only that I would soon
be dead, or as mad as my companion, if
some deliverance was not soon opened up.
I never prayed much—God forgive me
but just then, I breathed something, I
scarcely knew what, for aid, for deliver
ance. I knew that I dared not attempt
to escape. My first movement would have
been the signal for my death-blow; and

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY. MORNING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1860.
if I called aloud, I might not awaken any
one in the house, but merely infuriate the
madman to such an extent that he might im
mediately butcher me. What under heaven
to do I knew not, and if the maniac, in
his desire to experiment,' should open a
vein, I must inevitably bleed to death.—
Meantime he was waiting for an answer to
his question, which he repeated, rather
angrily,—
, What did I think of his proposal to
bleed me to death V
I was about answering something des
perate, and giving myself up for lost,
when a bright idea flashed across my
troubled brain. Oh, how devotedly I
thanked heaven that I had read the
Arabian Nights' in my boyhood ! There
was my idea, which as yet, only heaven
knew whether it would be successful or
not ; I would tell him stories, and beguile
his fancy till morning, and then surely, I
would have some means of escape. I
answered his question by another.
Suppose I tell you a story about bleed
ing to death—or rather about a man who
supposed he was being bled to death, and
died from the fright?'
Died from the fright, eh 2 Let us
hear it.'
Very gladly I began, making it long,
and adding as much as I possibly could to
the original, which was something I recol
lected long ago to have heard about some
one who wished to experiment,' and bad
a man blindfolded, his arm bandaged, and
gently pricked, but not sufficiently to
bring the blood, and then heard the regu
lar, drop, drop of blood—or what he
supposed to be his own blood, though in
reality only water, till he died from the
mere supposition that he was being bled
to death. I forget the story now, but it
is familiar to every one. When I con
cluded, I suggested to the maniac that he
should try this model experimenting, and
see how long I would take to be frightened
to death.
Yes, yes,' he answered, with a sly,
cunning laugh ; very good, very good,'
and seeing through the device, with the
cunning of madness, he laughed again as
he said—' Very good, sir, very good.
And you would take till morning to die,
and meanwhile I want a companion in the
church yard yonder; down among the
grave-worms. Come, bare your arm, and
let me do as I said. I'll bleed you. I
intended to have taken your head off first,
but I've changed my mind. because I
wouldn't like to have a headless compan
ion. Bare your arm.'
God ! what was I to do ! I felt my brain
seethe and whirl, as though I, too, were
going mad. With a desperate effort to be
calm, I said :
Suppose I tell you another story first ?'
' Oh, no, you can tell while you bleed.'
But I shall want to watch the blood
flow too,' I said, with an effort to refrain
from shuddering.
True, true,' he said. Well, let's
hear your story--quick, begin.'
I waited for no urging. I was too glad
to find him in the humor to listen ; so I
began and related every story I could
think of—as soon as one was done begin
ning with another—and in this manner
nearly two hours passed. As I was about
to begin another story, he stopped me
peremptorily—
'No more ; no more ! 1 won't listen !
I've listened toollong already, and I've no
time to bleed you, either ! I may take your
head off as I first intended, disagreeable
as it is to have a headless companion ?'
Around and around his head again went
the glittering knife, coming down in a di
rect line with my throat ; and then as the
edge, sharp as a razor, touched my skin, I
forgot the prudent considerations that had
hitherto kept me silent, and gave vent to
my horror and terror in a cry so loud and
long, so shrill and ear-piercing, that the
maniac started back in affright, and ac
tually trembled at the unearthy sound.—
No wonder ! I tremble this moment my
self, when I think what an awful cry it
was ; and I almost fancy I can still hear
the sound of it, when I close my eyes, and
shudderingly look back to the hour.
The effect upon the madman was not of
long duration. A third time he waved
the knife around his head, and was just
preparing for a spring forward, when the
farmer and his eldest son burst into the
room. The effect that these new actors
upon the scene produced upon the mad
man was strange and almost incredible.—
The knife remained uplifted, and the hand
in which it was held seemed suddenly
petrified and unable to move. He cower
ed beneath the gaze of the farmer, as a
child might do under the eye of a master,
and without the slightest resistance, al
lowed the knife to be taken from his hand
and himself quietly led from the room by
the farmer and his son.
Then, when I was left alone, the reac
tion after all my terror, horror and excite
ment, overpowered me, and I sank back
upon the bed almost insensible. I thank
ed God for my escape and hardly conscious
of my own feelings or actions, I lay quite
still, awaiting what was to follow. I felt
that there was no farther cause for alarm,
and in a dreamy sort of way, I tried to
account for the adventure. I looked
around upon the room, and all seemed so
like a dream that I could almost have
persuaded myself that I was the victim of
an unpleasant illusion ; but then, to bring
me back to the realities of all that had
transpired, there was still the light burn
ing upon the table, and I knew I had put
out the light before retiring ; and another
proof that I was awake, and had been for
a couple of hours past, was the scratch
upon my throat, where the knife had
grazed it, and I shuddered to think how
nearly my thread of life had been .out in
two.
Presently the farmer and his son re
turned, and I was informed that my terri
ble and most unwelcome visitant was an
unfortunate brother-in-law of the farmer,
who had been crazed for some years, past ;
that during certain seasons, especially at
that phase in which the moon then was,
he was quite mad and dangerous, though
at other times harmless. Unfortunately
for me, his door had been neglected that
night, and instead of being looked had
been left open. I listened to all these
explanations, and received my host's apol
ogies and expressions of regret for my
disturbance and peril, by making a men
tal vow never to sleep with my door un
locked in a strange house, and if ever
placed so that I should be obliged to orave
the hospitality of strangers, to make par
ticular inquiry whether any mad person,
brother-in-law or other, dwelt in the
house.
Brim the Buffalo Republic, August 30
ROPE-WALKING MADNESS.
Of course the city, and all the neighbor
ing, villages and towns, as well as the
hamlet of Rochester, were all agog yester
day, in consequence of the announcement
that Blondin and Farini were to cross the
gorge of Niagara on their respective ca
bles, each with a respective man on his
back. The trains towards the Falls and
Suspension Bridge, as a consequence, were
crammed—twenty-eight car loads going
from • here, besides those, amounting to
many hundreds, who preferred Capt. King
man and the Clifton,
to the smoke and
dust of the cars, while Rochester sent forth
crowds, as well as every town along the
line of railroad and the canal, (we are in
formed privately that a great many from
Lockport, Medina, and Albion, swarmed
down to take part in the recklessness of
these two dare-devil men,) to see the per
formance that had brought so many people
together.
Suspension Bridge was crowded with
pedestrians and carriages—not less than
eighteen hundred people occupied it, while
the enclosures on each side were incon
veniently full, all waiting, anxious, dis
contented, yet curious.
At four o'clock precisely, Blondini the
immortal, appeared in his suit of clothes,
resembling that worn by the individuals
who put themselves out of joint for a com
pensation in peripatetic exhibitions called
circuses, He immediately took his pole,
trotted with a man on his rope—indulged
in such luxuries as standing on his head,
such delicacies as disjointing legs, dislo
cating his arms and spine, and congesting
his brains a little, cantered on to a slack
rope suspended from the middle of his
cable over the frightful torrent beneath and
then in the most culpable style slid down a
thread to a circle of the slack rope, and
tried to make the boiling flood ashamed of
its efforts to involve him in a rope-walking
destruction.
Here he kicked up—that is to say he
went through all the performances which
make a man famous ten feet from the
ground in any other place, which in our
opinion, on the principle of centrifugal
projection, distributed his brains equally
at both ends of him—though you could
not tell one end from the other while he
was revolving. He sprang hurriedly up
the "twine," arrived safely at the rope,
and went at quarter horse speed to the
Canada side, where he was received with
"four times four" by the assembled multi
tude.
Blondin remained at the Canada side of
the river about twenty minutes, when it
was seen that he was preparing to return,
and, almost immediately with his appear
ance, Harry Coleord, with his usual every
day dress, felt hat, patent leather boots,
&c., mounted Blondin, and the latter com
menced his frightful walk across the river,
where the slightest step was death—the
merest trepidation perdition.
But confident, self-reliant, and deter
mined, Blondin bore his burden, which,
together with his pole, in gravitation,
equaled over a barrel of flour, across that
thread of recklessness calmly and certain
ly, and resting for awhile (Coleord alighted
just over the centre of the frightful Fiver
beneath, and relieved for a moment Blon
din of his immense burthen,) he proceeded
on, fe trless in his skill—obstinate for
success—fixed in his purpose to carry out
his programme.
He did carry it out.' Cheer upon cheer
saluted him and Coleord, who had risen
from a sick bed, pale and dispirited, to
carry out his part of the programme, as
they reached the American side of the
river, and many a fair lady and gallant
gentleman sprang forward to grasp the
hands of the heroes of the rope, and
testify their admiration of their almost
supernatural fearlessness, skill, courage
and strength.
At night (we had no report of Blondin's
performance,) M. Farini, dressed in his
usual costume, in the presence of a thous
and people, appeared on the American
side. He went across surrounded with a
blaze of fireworks. His crossing was ac
complished briefly and consummately.
After the fireworks had exhausted, he dis
appeared in the darkness, and through the
misty and dark improbabilities of that
thread of suspension, he emerged, staid,
quiet, nervous and triumphant. It was a
wonderful thing, and he and all the people
know it.
FARINI'S EXHIBITION
Owing to a one-ness of person and
singleness of individuality, it was impossi
ble for us to be at the Suspension Bridge
and at Niagara Falls at the same time.
Consequently we are without a personal
report of Farini's feats on the cable. We,
therefore, let the Niagara Falls Gazette
tell the story for him. The Gazette says :
We heard it frequently remarked that
M. Blondin would not undertake to per
form such a feat on a rope as slack as
Farini's, and it is no discredit to him if
such is the case, fer it is a frightful opera
tion with everything prepared in the most
favorable manner. The Signor's cable is
not strictly a tight rope, bat it is very
slack, and not only settles as he steps on
it, but has a lateral motion, which renders
it extremely difficult, and of course hazard
ous to walk on it. Now most people wonder
why he persists in walking on such a slack
rope. The fact is he prefers to do so,
because it shows greater skill and daring.
After spending some time in fixing the
guys, he was ready for a start, and ap
peared at the end of the cable with his
man. The man selected to bear him com
pany on this perilous journey was Mr.
Rowland McMullen. He is about five feet
nine or ten inches in height, and weighs
rather over 150 pounds. This added to
the weight of his balancing pole made a
load of over 200 pounds—more than a
barrel of flour. Adjusting his burden,
he started out over the frightful chasm.
Cautiously, yet fearlessly, he traveled,
while the crowd who witnessed him were
under the most intense excitement. After
proceeding a short distance, ho experi
enced great difficulty from his balancing
pole catching under the guys. This, with
the lateral swinging motion of the cable,
made the performance one of the most
fearful we have ever witnessed.
Whatever sensation might have perva
ded the people, the bold performers showed
no signs of fear. After proceeding a
short distance McMullen got down on the
rope, and both sat down and rested. They
soon resumed their journey, howeVer, and
for variety, McMullen walked and rode at
intervals. In walking he merely placed
his hands on the Signor's shoulders and
followed. While both were walking it
required a wonderful presence of mind, as
well as courage, to preserve a balance.
The Signor had himtelf and the dissimilar
motions of his comrade to attend to. Bat
it was handsomely done. They made but
few stops until they reached the centre of
the river. Here, according to the bills,
they were to turn around and retrace their
steps. While McMullen turned around,
the Signor passed under the cable and
McM., and thus gained the desired posi
tion.
After resting some time they started_ on
their return. This they accomplished with
less trouble from the guys.
,• McMullen
was alternately on the rope and the Sig
nor's back. The difficult and hazardous
act of climbing upon Farini's back must
be witnessed to be understood and appre
ciated. At times the rope swayed so badly
that Farini was compelled to stop and
stand, or sit down, until it became steady.
The whole performance was trying to the
nerves of the spectators. As they came
to terra-firma the crowd received them
with clapping of hands and other manifes
tations of pleasure.
We•have no time now to comment on
this performance as its extraordinary char
acter demands. Suffice it to say that it
eclipses anything ever before performed
on a rope over Niagara river, or anywhere
else. We trust Signor Farini will be sat
isfied with his hard and well-earned laurels,
and never undertake to repeat such a
daring and truly frightful performance."

PROF. L. MILLER'S HAIR INVIGORA—
TOR.—An Effective, Safe and Economical Compound,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR to its original color with
out dyeing, and preventing the Hair from turning gray.
FOR PREVENTING BALDNESS, and curing it, when there
is the least particle of vitality of recuperative energy
remaining.
FOR REMOVING SCURF AND DANDRUFF, and all
cutaneous affections of the Scalp.
FOR BEAUTIFYING THE HAIR, imparting to it an un
equalled gloss and brilliancy, making it soft and silky
In its texture and causing it to curl readily.
The great celebrity and increasing demand for this prepa
ration, convince the proprietor that one trial is only
necessary to satisfy a discerning public of its superior quali
ties over any other preparation at present in use. It cleanses
the head and scalp from dandruff and other cutaneous
diseases. Causes the hair to grow luxuriantly, and gives
it a rich, soft, glossy, and flexible appearance, and also
where the hair Is loosening and thinning, it will give
strength and vigor to the roots, and restore the growth to
those parts which have become bald, causing it to yield a
fresh covering of hair.
There are hundreds of ladies and gentlemen in New York
who have bad their hair restored by the use of this luvig.
orator, when all other preparations bad failed. L. M. has
in his possession letters innumerable testifying to the
above facts, from persons of the highest . respectability. It
will effectually prevent the hair from turning gray until
the latest period of life; and in cases where the hair has
already changed its color, the use of the Invigorator will
with certainty restore it to its original hue, giving it a
dark, glossy appearance. As a perfume for the toilet and
a Hair Restorative it is particularly recommended, having
an agreeable fragrance; and the, great facilities it affords
in dressing the hair, which, when moist with the Invigora
tor can be dressed in anfrequired form so as to preserve
its place, whether plain or in curls—hence the great demand
for it by the ladies as a standard toilet article which none
ought to be without, as the price places it within the reach
of all, being ONLY TWENTY-FIVE CENTS per bottle, to
be had at all respectable druggists' and perfumers.
L. MILLER would call the attention of Parents and
Guardians to the use of his Invigorator, in cases where tho
childrens' Hair inclines to be weak. The use of it lays the
foundation for a good head of hair, as it removes any im
purities that may have become connected with the scalp,
the removal of which is necessary both for the health of
the child, and the future appearance of the Hair.

PREMIUM PO It 18 6 0 . ' '
In order to Increase the already large rrenition tit the
Emmezazockrat, we pubilith- this month a eplen Eno
engraving of Frith's picture of ' Merry-Maktng In. the
Olden Time,' which we shall present exclusively to - the la
subscribers to the Magazine for 1860, whether old or new.
The subject represents the pastimes of our ancestors; and
is eminently of a genial, domestic character. The plate,
engraved in England at lan expense of. 2000 dollars, is
entirely new, measures twenty-five by nineteen and a half.
inches in tire, contains thirty-nine figures, and is beyond
comparison the finest work of the kind ever offered as a
premium in this country.
The engraving of Frith's picture of Merry-Making in
the Olden Time, represents the humors of an English holi
day in the county in those good old times when the men
wore cocked-hats and knee.chea, and the women stays
and hoops—a costume not essentially differing from the
corset and crinoline of the present day. Almost in , the
centre of the picture and a little to • the taetground is a
country dance on the green, with a hard-featured fiddler
perched on a high seat, and another musician in a 'Motile
standing by him, playing with all their m ight. On the
right two bouncing girls are gaily pulling toward the dame
a gray-haired man, who !teems vainly to remonstrate that
his ' dancing days are over, ' while a waggish little ' child
pushes him forward from b ehind, greatly to the amusement.
of his spouse, who is still sitting at the teartable, from
which he has been dragged.. On the left, under a magnifi
cent spreading oak, sit the 'squire and his wife, wham a
countryman with his bat off Is respectfully inviting to take
part in the dance. To the left of the 'squire is a young
couple on the grass, to whom a gipsy with an Infant on her
shoulder is telling their fortune. Over the shoulders of
this couple is seen a group engaged in quoit-playing, and
back of the whole is a landscape of gentle slopes and
copses. The picture has the expression of gayety through
out and the engraving is splendidly executed. It is fresh
from the burin of Holm, not having yet been published in
England.'
