I WiH Try.
There’is a society in London known as the
Society of Arts. Its object is the encourage
ment of talent in the various departments of
art. Prizes are awarded by the society, some
times to painters for their pictures and some
times to humbler artisans for improvements in
■weaving, or in the manufacture of bonnets, lace,
or artificial flowers.
, More than half a century ago, a little fellow,
named William Itoss, not twelve years of age,
was talking with his mother about an exhibition
of paintings at the society's rooms. ’William
was very fond of paintings, and could himself
draw and color with remarkable skill. ‘Look
you, William,’ said his mother; ‘I saw some
paintings in the exhibition which did not seem
to me to be half as good as yours.’
‘Do you really think so, mother?’ asked he.
‘I am sure of it,’ she replied. ‘I saw some
paintings inferior, both in color and drawing,
to some that are hanging in your little cham
ber.’
William knew that his mother was no flatter
er, and he said, I have a mind to ask permis
sion to hang one or two of my paintings on the
walls at the next exhibition.'
‘Why not try for one of the prizes?’ asked
his mother.
‘0! mother dear, do you think I should stand
any chance of success ?’
‘Nothing venture, nothing have,’ said hia
mother; ‘you can but try.’
‘And I will try, mother dear,’ said William.
‘I have a historical subject in my head, oat of
which I think I can make a picture.’
‘What is it, William ?’
‘The death of Wat Tyler. You have heard
of him; headed a mob in the time of Richard
the Second. Having behaved insolently before
the king at Smithfield, Tyler was struck down
by Wqlworth, Mayor of London ; and then dis
patched by Ihe king’s attendants.’ j
‘lt is a bold subject William, but I will say
nothing (o deter you from trying it.' 1
‘lf I fail mother, where will be the ham?
I can try again/
‘To be sure you can, William ! So we will
not be disappointed should you not succeed in
winning the silver pallette offered by the socie
ty for the best historical painting/
Without more ado, little William went to
wort. He first acquainted himself with the va
rious costumes of the year 1831; he learned
how the king and noblemen used to dress, and
what sort of clothes were worn by the poor peo
ple and laborers, to which class Wat Tyler be
longed. He also learned what sort of weapons
wore carried in those days. '
After having given some time to the study of
those things, he acquainted himself thoroughly
with the historical incidents attending the death
of the bold rioter. He grouped, in imagination,
the persons who were present at the scene—the
ting and his attendants, Walworth, the Mayor,
Wa t Tyler himself, and in the background some
of Ids ruffianly companions.
The difficulty now was to select that period
of the action best fitted for a picture, and to
group the figures in attitudes the most natural
and expressive. 3Liny times did little William
make a sketch of the scene on paper, and then
obliterate it, dissatisfied with his work. At
times he almost despaired of accomplishing
anything that should do justice to the concep
tion of his mind. But after many trials and
many failures, he completed a sketch which he
decided to transfer to canvas.
He now labored diligently at his task, and
took every opportunity to improve himself in a
knowledge of colors and their effects. At
length the day for handing in his picture ar
rived, lie then had to wait a month before
there was any decision as to its merits. On the
day appointed for the announcement of the de
cision, mahy persons of distinction were pres
ent, including ladies. The meeting was presi
ded over by the Duke of Norfolk.
William's mother was present of course.—
She sat waiting the result with a beating heart.
What a proud mother she was, when after the
transaction of some unimportant business, it
was announced that the prize of a silver pal
lette for the best historical picture was awarded
to the painter of the piece entitled, “The Death
of Wat Tyler.’ 7
When it was found that little William Ross
was the successful artist, the applause of the
audience broke forth with enthusiasm. To see
such a little fellow gain a prize over competi
tors of mature age, was a novelty and surprise.
William was summoned, with his picture, to the
Duke’s chair, and there he received such coun
sel and encouragement as were of great service
to him in his future career. Ho is now Sir
William Doss, minature painter to the Queen,
having risen to fortune and to fame by carrying
out, with determination and perseverance, his
simple promise to hia mother of T will try.’—
Sargent'* ScJloql Monthly,
A String of Carious Facts.
The following striking scientific facts were
picked up in the course of our reading, from
various reliable authorities. We think many
of them will be new to our readers ;
The difference between the skulls of the do
mestic hog and wild boar, is as great as that
between the European and negro skull. Do
mesticated animals that have subsequently run
wild in the forests, after a few generations lose
all traces of their domestication, and arc phys
ically different from their tame originals.
iltis not natural for a cow, no more than
for other female animals to give milk: when
she has no young to nourish. The permanent
production of milk is a modified animal func
tion, produced by an artificial habit for several
generations. In Columbia, the practice of mil
king cows having been laid aside, the natural
state of the function has been restored. The
secretion of milk continues only during the
suckling of the calf and is only an-occasional
phenomenon. If the calf dies, the milk cea
ses to flow, and it is only by keeping him with
his dam by day, that an opportunity of obtain
ing milk from cows by night can be obtained.
The barking of dogs is an acquired heredita
ry instiuct, supposed to have originated in an
attempt to imitate the human voice, "Wild
dogs, and domestic breeds become wild, never
bark, but howl. Cats, which so disturb civil
communities by their midnight “caterwaul,” in
the wild state in South America, are quite si
lent. ,
The hair of the negro is not wool, hut a cur
led and twisted hair. The distinction between
hair and wool is clearly revealed by the micro-
scope. (
The dark races have less nervous sensibility
than the whites. They are not subject to
nervous disease. They 'sleep sound in every
disease, nor does any mental disturbance keep
them awake. They bear chirurgical opera
tions much better than the white people.
A certain species of fungus has been known
w MtM , a * hc of 11 gourd ip one night: and
it is calculated that the cellules, of which it it
composed, must amount to forty- seven thous
and million. If it grew’in twelve hours, this
would give four thousand million per hour, or
more than six million each minute. .
Animalcules have been discovered so small
that one million would not exceed a grain of
sand; and five hundred million would sport in
a drop of water,’ Yet each of these must
have blood-vessels, nerves, muscles, circulating
fluids, &c., like large anions.
One pf the most wonderful achievements of
astronomers, is the weighing of the bodies of
the solar system. It is certain that the mass
of-Jupiter is more than 322, and less than 323
times the mass of this globe—so accurately boa
the work been accomplished. The maaa'of the
sun is 359,551 times greater than that of the
earth and moon, and 700 times greater than
the united moss of all the planets.
The planet Satnrn is composed of matter only
half as heavy os watrr; Mercury is considera
bly heavier than quicksilver, and a third, hea
vier than lead; and our own globe is twice as
heavy os common rock, and half as heavy as
lead—a fact which shows the great density of
its internal parts.
A flash of lightning on the earth would be
visible on the moon in a second and a quarter;
on the son, in 8 minutes; on Jupiter, when
farthest from us, in 52 minutes; on Uranus, in
two hours; on Neptune, in four hours and a
quarter; on the star Vega, of the first magni
tude, in 45 years; on a star of the eighth mag
nitude in 4,000 years; and such stars are visi.
ble through the telescope.
Li Place, the great French astronomer,
says:—“l have ascertained that between the
heavenly bodies all attractions are transmitted
with a velocity which, if it be not infinite, sur
passes several times the velocity of light.”—
His annotator estimates it as eight million of
times greater than that of light.
The circumference of the earth is 25,020
miles. A railway train, traveling incessantly
night and day, at the rate of 25 miles an hour,
would require six weeks to go round it. A
tunnel through the earth, from England to
New Zealand, would be nearly 8,000 miles
long.
• I'd Rather Carey It. —Going from market
the other’day, wo observed a very small boy,
jyho gave no very special indication, by dress
or face, of other than ordinary sensations or
training in life, carrying a basket that was so
heavy as to nearly bend him down beneath it.
We observed, “my boy you have a heavy load.”
“Yes,” said he, “but I’d rather carry it than
mother should/' The remark was one of a
nature we love to hear; but we do not know
that we should have thought enough of it to
have chronicled it, had we not seen across the
street, a highly accomplished young lady play
ing the piano, while her mother was washing
the windows. We have no reason for forestal
ling the reflections and comparisons of our
readers on facts. —Wheeling Gazette.
‘Weu, Joses, how much did your pig weigh?’
