' 011.6 m o-lithography is -the - "t* , of', paintingFictures front stone, in colors, The Most difficult branch oflt—which is now generally witiiii,chromos are spoken of—is thd art of reproducing oikpaintings. Wheiia chrome is made by a- competent hand, it presents an exact,counterpart of the original pitint ing,.with the delicate gradations of tints and shades, and with much of the spit.- itand -toile of a production of the brush and 'pallet. • . To understand how chromes are made, the art of •lithography must be briefly explained. The stone used •in litho graphing is a speciea ofliniestone-found in Bavaria, and is, wrought into - thick slaps with finely ollshed surface. _The drawing made upon thOslab- With a sort, of colored soap, which- adheres to the atone .and enters into a chemical eombination with it :after the applica tion of certain acids and guMs. When. the drawing is complete, the slab is put on the.presS, •and • carefully dampened_ with 4 sponge. The oil color (or inky is then applied with a, common prin ter's roller. Of course, the parts of - the slab which contains no drawing, being wet, resist the ink ; • While the . drawing itself, being oily, repels the water, but retains; the color applied. It -is thus that, without a raised• surface or incis ion—as in common printing, wood-cuts and steel engravings—lithography Iwo dueeSprinted drawings from a perfect ly - srdocith stone. In a chrome, the first proof is a light grotindjint, -covering nearly all the surfade.• It has only a faint, shadowy resemblance to the completed 'pieture. It is in fact rather a shadow than an, Outline, The next proof - from - the sec ond stone, contains all - the • shades of another color. This process is repeated again and.again and again ; occasion ally; as often as thirty times. We saw one 'geol . , in a visit to Mr. Prang's es tablishment —a group of cattle,—that had passed - through the press twelve times-; and still it bore a greater resem blance_to a spoiled colored photograph than to the charming picture which it subsequently became. The number of impressions, however, does not neces sarily indicate the number of colors in -a painting, because the colors and pats are greatly multiplied by combinations created in the process of painting one over another. In twenty-five irnpres stens, it is sometimes necessary and possible to produce a hundred distinct shades. The last impression is made by 'an engraved stone, which. •produces that• resemblance to canvass noticeable in all of Mr. Prang'S tiner specimens. Eng lish and German chromes as a'rtile, do not attempt to give this delicate final touch, although it would seem to be es sential in order to make a perfectimita-, Lion of a painting. The paper used is white, heavy 1 ! plate-,,paper," of the best quality, which has to pass through a heavy press, sheet by:sheet, before its surface is tit to receive on impression. The process thus briefly explained, we need hardly add, requires equally; great skill and judgment at every stage. A single error is instantly detected by the practised eye iu the finished speci men: The production,of a chromo, if it is all complicated, 'requires several mouths—seinctimes several years—of eft IV fll I preparation. , --I iii, • -iraw ing of the different and entirely-detach ed parts on so many different stones is of itself a work that requireB an amount of labor and a - degree of skill, which, to a person unfamiliar .with the process, would abpear incredible. more difficult, and needing still greater skill, is the process of coloring. This de mands a knowledge whictuartists have hitherto almost exclusive* monopoliz ed; and, in additir to It, tite practical familiarity of a printer with - int:el/aid 'cal details. "Drying " and •'‘iregister- , ing " are as important branchcs,of the art of making chromos as drawing and coloring. On proper registering, for example, the entire possibility of pro ducing a picture at every stage of k its progress depends. " Registering "is that part of a pressman's work r which consist in.so arranging in the press, that, it shall receive - the impression on exactly the same spot of every sheet.-- 1 In book work, each page must be exact-. ly opposite the page printed 011 the other side of the sheet, in orderthat the 'lin preiiiion, if on thin paperi: may not "show through." In newspaper work this is of less importance, and often is not attended to with any special care. But in chromolithography. the differ ence of a hair's breadth would spoil a picture ;_for it would hopelessly mix up the colors. After ,he chrome has passed through the press, it is embossed and varnished, and then put up for market. These final processes are for the purpose of breaking the glossy light ? and ot soften ing the hard outlines which the picture receives from the stone, and impart to it the resemblance ofn painting on can vas. Mr. Prang began his business in thel humblest way, but has rapidly increas-, ed his establishthent, until be now em ploys fifty workmen ,—nearly allof them artists and - artisans of the -most• skillful class,—and is preparing , to move Into a larger building.atnextairy, He ,uses eighteen presses ;, and his sales are enor mous.

Tait's "Chickens," "Ducklins and "Quails" were the'lirst chromes that met an in stant and wide recognition. Nineteen thousand copies of the ." Chickens" alone were sold. Bricher's "Early Au tumn on Esopus.Creek " is one of the -best, chromes ever made on a small scale: The "Bullinch " and the -"Lin net " (after Cruikshank) are admira ble. There are other ebromos` which 'aye less successful, and one or two that 'are not successful at all ; but they are nearly all excellent copies of the origi nals, with which the defects must be charged. • The chromes of Bricher's.paintings are really wonderfully accurate. - Mr. Prang's masterpiece, however, is net yet published, although it is nearly ready for the market. It entirely sur paSses,all his pyevious etlbrts. It is poi.- reggio's "MAdnALENA," ,end can hard ly fall, we think, to command quick sale and hearty recognition. _ Like every modern discovery, chrino lithography has its partisans and de tracters,—those who .clalm for it, per ']taps impossible capabilities, end those who regard- it-- es - a mere handicraft which no skill On over elevate into the dignity of an art,.

[For the Agitator.] JANITARY. In Roman fable the , tutelary care of this month was particularly dedicated to Janus—the youngest with a doulAe face. The patron of the Roman year was generally represented in statues as a young man. Helwas given two faces, because the past and the futtire were known to him. In ono hand ho was represented as holding the 300, and in the other 65, to show that he presided over the year, the first month of which bore his name. The Romans who worshipped hint, built many tem ples to him. The principal temples were built with four equal sideS, with a 'door and three windows in each side. The four doors ,were emblematical or the four seasons, and the three windows in each side the three mouths in each season, and all the doors and windows the twelve months in the year. The gates of the temple were only shut &tir ing the time of .peace ; when war pre vtozeo ,""1.111.y olvrnyel• rent OA nett open. For upwards of 700 yearn the temple was closed but three time's.

These little `'seed" cling to whatever they touch, generally to old oysters, anti the many little shells one Woes clinging to large oysters are but the growth of these seed. .Where oysters have spawned in a clear place, and free from their fish .enernies 4 their growth is very rapid until they attain the size of a quarter of a dollar, and it is at- this period of their existence that the oystermen take them for trans planting. The shells are very thin, and the inside meat scarce larger than a shirt butibn, but having the shell fill with a milky fluid, which in time forms the body of the fish. Oysters, after they are transplanted, are with few/ exceptions,' not fit to eat under _three years. It might be supposed that the oyster, with his hard shell, was free from all danger, but such is-* not the case. He has two deadly enemies.— rrhe star fish and the borer. The for mer will fasten on the mouth of an oys ter, and in a short time suck the life out of him.
