ASHES OF ROSES.

(Grown people often write in eyuepeany with children, but here is a little poem by 4 child written in sympathy with grown folks.)

Soft on the sun-set sky Bright dayli sht closes, _ Leaving, when light doth die, Pale hues that mingling die~- Ashes of roses.

When love's sun is set, Love’s brightness closes ; Eves with hot tears are wet, In hearts there linger yet

Ashes of roses.

Translations from Heine.

’ ” ‘‘MIR TRAUMTE; TRAURIG SCHAUTE DER MOND.

{ had a dream ; the moon looked drear

And drearily the lamps shone o’er me; Away to the city, where dwells my dear, au Many hundreds of miles it bore me.

It led me on to her home ; I kissed

The stones of the stair at the door there, Which often her tiny foot had pressed,

And the hem of her robe swept o'er there.

The night was long, the night was chill, The chill of the stones, it shocked me ;

And a death-pale form at the window-sill, Lit up by the moonshine, mocked me.

, J a “« Die blauen Veilchen der At ugelin.

The voilets blue of those eyes of thine,

The roses red of thy cheeks divine, The lilies white of thy hands so fine,

Bloom on and on, fresh, bright and clear—- ‘Tis only your heart dried up, my dear.

Die Welt ist so schon, und der Himmel so blau The world is so fair and the #y: so blue.

And the breeze so soft, and so almy, too, And the medow flowers are so bright of hue,

And they sparkle and gleam in the morning

dew And all men are merry and glad to view ; Yet fain would I lie in the churchyard bed, And nestle in close with my love that’s dead. —Theodore Martin, in Blackwood’s Maga;ine.

WHILE taking this opportunity of thank ing our numerous customers for the

liberal manner in which they have patron- ized

we would inform them that we have now increased facilities for the production of first-class work, and are prepared to make Protocrapus of a Slyle and Quatity that has never been before aliempted in this Cily.

large number of Photograps of every variety, including the

BEAUTIFUL PHOTO - ENAMEL

he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a softness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu ar elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct atten- tion to the beautiful

Glace’ Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, and will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. ‘This valuable quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, muke them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons can have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere. ©

We give special attention to making Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &c

Gur pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art.

Our FKNLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a tavorable reputation for them

selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intevding to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our customers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our silters come by appointment.

Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring the public that they will flad our charges very moderate.
