We have ou exhibition, at our Rooms, a large number of Photograps of every variety, including the

BEAUTIFUL PHITI- ENAMEL

he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a sufiness and delicacy of eoloring thal has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deserved|y popw'ar elsewhere; and cannot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs earinot be excelled, we would direct atten- tion to the beaatital

Glilaee Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, wnd» will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they

me soiled tley can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. ‘This valuadle quality, com bined with their remarkable elegance, make 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 cap have one or all of their Photos finished in

this style—an advantage which cannot 7

obtained elsewhere.

We give special attention to making Groups of Families, Socicties,; Schools, &c

Our pictures of children are sufficieni evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art.

Our ¥NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending te have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to ait early, as the number of our cu tomers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have eur sitters come by appointment.

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

The Succession of Winter.

| And now the vaporous East begins to glow,

} }

| And wuch

A token that the Morning Queen is near ;

i Now widening tints of pearl and sapphire

show ;

Now beams of splendour guide the cha rioter,

Why slowly rides the queen? why bows her head ?

As if for grieving piteous canse she had ?

Aurora mourns the Autumn that is dead.

And fitly comes in sombre garments clad.

The trembling steeds, with cautious step and slow,

And backward turning of reluctant eyes,

Propel the burnished car through frost and snow,

lament warm . Crient’s softer skies,

‘* Speed, Lampus, speed ! nor thou, good Phae ton, yield!’

| It is the sorrowing goddess’ gently calls,

“Upon the tablet of the whitening field

1 would proclaim the solemn funerals !’”’

Who can the rosy goddess’will tithstand ?

Her chariot rests amid the frozen plains;

One hand her face doth veil, the sceptre hand

Lifts autumn’s crown. tering chains

A spectre comes with crafty, silent pace :

He steals upon the goddess unbeknown—

She heedeth not, so lowly droops her face—

He grasps the crown ; assumes it for his own ;

With mocking langh the naked wood re- gains,

Thus autumn was winter reigns.

Soft! decked in glit-

despoiled—and ruthless

Cheap Insurance.

In the hurry and turmoil of commerce, when the mind of the man of business is most in- tently fixed upon the questions of profit or loss directly before him, he sometimes falls into the error of placing vital questions in comparative obscurity. It must be by reasons of this character that itelligent business men fall into the now popular error, which asserts **cheap insurance is real economy.” And it often happens that the shrewdest men in their own pecuiiar occupations, good financiers and prosperous merchants, are quick to patronize those who are most recklessin selling insur- ance far below its real value, and they will take policies ina doubtful company because the rate is a shake below the legitimate market. Does not this dangerous practice arise from the fact that merchants do not take the time to consider the matter in its proper light? Lhe purchase of a policy of insurance cannot be confounded with au ordinary pur- chase in the course of trade, because it is no ordinary article of merchandise. ‘The policy is nothing but a cheap piece of paper, whose valve consists inits being the evidence of a promise to pay, aud the value of this promise to pay depends upon the solvency of the pro- miser and the svolvency of the promiser de. pends upon his prudence in doing business. Ii a man buys a house and pays his money for it and goes into possession of it, he enjoys it to- day and to-morrow ; but if he buys a policy of insurance and pays for it, his money is gone in exchange for a hope that it will benefit him in the iuture. But suppose that before the time comes in the future for his hope to be valid, the party who has received his money and given him the promise prove unable to fultil his agreement, then the delusive piece of paper for which he has paid his money is his only return. Now, if a man purchases a coat tor five dollars for which the seiler paid fifteen he can put itonand wear it out, and if it turns out that the seller is ruined a month afterwards, this does not concern the buyer ot che coat. Not so with cheap insurance, | the first place, the very fact that it is so cheap is the best indication to the purchaser that he is buying arisk; he cannot enjoy it as soon as’ he, buys it; he cannot reap the benefit of it while the insurer is able to keep up appear- ance. But he is obliged to trust to the tuture solvency of the insurer; he is. obliged to be come a co-partner with him in his future busi- ness and future success. He is sowing seeds for the future,and as he sows, so must he reap. Whea the insurer comes and offers his imsur- ance at a price which says upon its face that ne is making no provision for the future, that he isnot accumulating out of his premiums any sum with which to pay his losses, is it not equivalent to a notice to the insured that he is paying hie money for a delusion? ‘The lowest rate may be regarded as a certain guide post to the rest insurance. ‘he best is the cheapest.—Mobite Register.

thie neu tiiiesstamaiataiie

They tell about a man in Maine who refused to get_up and light the fire, and as his wife said she wouldn't, they remained in bed thirty-seven hours before the matter was set- tled. Our sympathies are, of course, with the woman, and we may be permitted to enter- tain a regret that it did not occur to her to perform a great deed of self-sacrifice On this occasion. How noble and beautiful would have been the example set her husband ; how touchingly would she have shown her wifely devotion; héw keenly would she have made him feel his meanness, if she had risen’ and made the tire =f she had risen, we say, and made the tire under the bed, in order to rout him alLof a sudden! A woman who throws away such a chance as that is false to her duty and her sex.

It was in church, and the bright-eyed, rest- less little cherub would stand up on the séat and spill the hymn-books, and keep up an in- cipient racket, while “its moth trow.ed threateningly in the interests of good order. Cherub committed some particularly flagrant outrage, when the scandalized motier sud- denly pointed a threatening forefinger at it, after the: manner of long-suffering mothers under such circumstances, and the cherub, after the manner of cherubs. under such cir- cumstances, just opsned its mouth, took that

baleful finger in, ani shut down on it with a pressure that made that mother groan out in the wrong place, ‘‘Oh! ouch! Have mercy on us !”

WAR NEWS. | New York, Jan, 14—A London special | Says that the crisis in the East is near at hand. | The situation has become greatly complicated within the past few hours. Italy and Ger- many haves ddenly brought England face to ‘face with a new issue more startling to her | people than any event since the beginning of | the war.

_ The unquestioned dominance of the Russians in the field has forced ‘England to order her fleet from Malta to its old anchorage in Besika Bay, with the presumed intention ot enterin the Dardanells at an early day. Germany onl Italy suddenly declare they have interests in the East as well as the Britons, Perhaps Spain, having a tolerable navy, may have something to say. Atany rate the action of the German and Italian Governments is une. quivocal, Bismarck’s policy is made clearer. He is determined that England shali not per- form any acts really warlike unless she arravs herself as before, ag Russia’s open enemy. She shall not go to Gallipoli except as an active ally of Turkey, The importance of the action of these two nations cannot be exaggerated. Thie sudden reappearance of Italy as a Medi- terranean power indicates that the Govern- ment of King Humbert_ is disposed to assert Italy’s claim toa controling influence in East- ern politics.

_CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 14._-The Grand Duke Nicholas in a telegram to the Porte very ex- pressly asked that two Turkish Delegates be sent to meet him at Kezonlik, and that they should have the fullest possible powers. A menting of = Grand Ottoman Council was

eld on Sunday ; consequently they appointed two plepipotentianes, : ae

The Russians entered Yeni Saghra on Sa-

turday. The place was previously burned by the retreating Turks, _ Lonpon, Jan. 14.—An impression is increas- ing hear that the armistice negotiations be. tween Russia and Turkey will break down. The terms are regarded as too onerous,

A Kiernan’s special says it is reported that Russia has satisfactorily explained to land the terms upon which peace can be concluded with Turkey.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 14. — Namyuh and Server Pashas, delegates appointed to treat with Grand Duke Nicholas for an armistice, have started for Kezaniik.

BELGRADE, Jan, 14.—Servians have re-occu- pied Kurschumlje, which Turks evacuated.

Servians have taken Fran a.

Servian General Belimarkorich, with fifty battalions, is marching on Prishtina.

- Lonpoy, Jan. 14. —It is reported that Count Schouvalotf is about to vacate the Russian embassy, and that Count Orloff, now ambassa- dor, will probably succeed him.

Jesh Billings’ Proverbs.

This life is like a game of cards. We must pla® the hands dealt to us, and the credit is not so much in winning as in playing a poor hand well.

When I hear a man bragging what he did last year and what he is going to do next

year, I can tell pretty near what he is doing now.

Don’t despise your poor relations. They might get rich sometime, and then it would be so hard to explain things,

The reputation a man gets from his ances. tors wants about as much altering to fit him as their clothes would. * * ¢

There is no woman stationed on the face of the earth who tries so hard to do right and fails oftener, than the average mother in law.

An enthusiast is an individual who believes about four times as much as he can prove, and can prove four times as much as anybody else will believe.

Falling in love is like falling down stairs ; it’s hard work to find out just how the thing was done,

Aman who has been) waiting for the last fifteen years for something to turn up, is still in the same business.

A poodle is a woman's pet, and I haye —— some that I would like to swap livings wit

_ Mice can live anywhere comfortably but in a church, This proves that they can’t live on religion any more than a minister can.

The worst tyrant in this world is a woman

| who is superior to her husband, and lets every- body know it,

Love is like the measles; you can have it but once, and the later in life we have it the tougher it goes with us.

Great thinkers are not apt to be great whist. lers. When a man can’t think of anything he begins to whistle.

The man you can have to work on a farm for nothing and board himself, just about earns his wages.

Neatness, in my opinion, is one of. the vir- tues. 1 have always considered it twin sister to chastity, but none work so hard as the vic- tims of ecstatic neatness, I have seen a neat person who would not let a weary fly rest long enough on her best wall paper to take breath, and who would chase a single cockroach up and down stairs until his legs were worn off.
