BEAUTIFUL PHIT)- ENAMEL
he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a softness and delicacy of coloring that bas 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
Gliaee 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 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 be obtained elsewhere.
We give special attention to making Groups of Families, Societies, Schools, &c
Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of omr success in this difficult branch of our art.
Our YNLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces,
Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our ca tomers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment.
Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere : but in this case we ask the preference; as- suring the public that they will flad our charges very moderate.

Ur the New Year: § May i through all its days Carry Sohie creer : To those who sit in gloom,
Weeping for To hearts that siowly break, Under a cross.

I who have left my dead, With none to care ;
I who have wept alone, Facing despair—
Would gladly sweeten lives, And make them dear—
This little boon I ask Of the New Year.
They best can serve the gods, Their errands run,
Who call no love their own, Under the sun.
Let me bear help to want, And hope to tear :
I ask no other boon Of the New Year.

AN OPENING CHAPTER FOR THE NEW YEAR.
To the young men annually making their entrance upon active life, with great ambitions, conscious capacities and high hopes, the pros- pect 18, In ninety-nine cases in a hundred, most perplexing. They see every avenue to prosperity tironged with their superiors in ex- perience, in social adyvautages, and in the pos- session of ali the elements and conditions of success. Lvery post is occupied, every office filled, every path crowded. Where shall they find room? 1t is related of Mr. Webster that when a young lawyer suggested to him that the profession to which he had devoted himself was overcrowded, the great man replied : ‘* Young man, there is always enough room at the top.” Never was a wiser or more sug- gestive word said. There undoubtedly is al- ways room enough where excellenze lies, Mr. Webster was not troubled for lack of room. Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhonn were never crowded. Mr. Evarts, Mr, Cushing and Mr. O’Conor have plenty of space around them. Mr, Beecher, Dr. Storrs, Dr. Hall, Mr. Phil- lips Brooks would never know, in their person- al experience, that it was hard to obtain a de- sirable ministerial charge. The profession is not crowded where they are. Dr. Brown- Sequard, Dr. Willard Parker, Dr. Hammond, are not troubled for space for their elbows. When Nelaton diced in Pasis, he died like Moses or atnountain. When Von Grate di in Berlin, he had no neighbor at his altitude.
It is well, first, that all young men remem- ber that nothing will do them so much injury as quick and easy success, and that nothing wili do them so much good as a struggle which toaches them what there is in them, educates them gradually to its use, instracts them in personal economy, drills them into a patient and persistent habit of work, and keeps them at the foot of the ladder until they become strong enough to hold every step they are en- abled to gain. The first years of every man’s business or professional life, are years of edu- cation, They are intended to be- in the order at nature and Providence. Doors do dot open to aman until he is prepared to enter them. The man without a wedding garment may get in surreptitiously, but he immediately goes out with ailea in his &r. We think it is the experience of most successful men who have watched the course’of their lives in retrospect, that whenever they arrived at a point where they were thoroughly prepared to go up higher, the door toa higher place has swung back of itself, and they have heard the eall to enter. The old die, or voluntarily retire for rest. The best men who stand ready to take their places will succeed totheir position and its honors and emoluments.
The young men wil! say that only a few will reach the top. That is true; but it is also true that the further from the bottom one goes, the the more scattering the neighborhood. One can fancy, for illustration, that every profes- sion and every calling is pyramidal in its livieg constituency, and that while only one man is at the top. there are several tiers of men below him who have plenty of elbow room. and that it is only at the base that men are so thick that they pick the meat out of one another’s teeth to keep them from starving. If a man has no power to get out of the rabble at the bottom, then he is self-convicted of having chosen a calling or profession to whose duties he has no adapiation.
The grand mistake that young men make, during the first ten years of their business and professional life, isin idly waiting for their chance. They seem to forget, or they do not know, that those ten years they enjoy the only leisure they willever have. After ten years in the natural course of things, they will be absorbingly busy. There will be no time for reading, culture, and study. I[f they do not become thoroughly grounded in the princi- ples and practical details of their profession during these years ; if they do not store their minds with useful knowledge; if they do not pursue habits of reading and observation, and social intercourse, which result in culture, the

question whether they will ever rise to occupy a place where there is room enough for them will be decided in the negative.
The young physicians and yonng lawyers who sit idly in their offices, and smoke and lounge awav the time ‘waiting for something to turn up,” are by that course fastening themselves for life to the lower stratum, where their struggle fora bare livelihood is to be perpetual. The first ten years are golden years, that should be filled with systematic reading and observation. Everything that tends to professional and personal excellence should be an object of daily pursuit. To such men the doors of success open of themselves at last. Work seeks the best hands, as naturally as water run down hill; and it never sevks the hands of a trifler, or of one whose only re- commendation for work 1; that he needs it. Young men do not know very much any way, and the time alwzys comes to those who be-

| server, the trimmer, the scoundrel who cun- ningly manages, though constantly disobey-
ing moral law and trampling upon social
courtesy, to keep himself out of the clutches of the legal police, carry- ing off the prizes of wealth and place. All
this isa demoralizing puzzle and a fearful temptation; and multitudes of young men are not strong enough to stand before it. The ought to understand that in this wicked west there is a great deal of room where there is in- tegrity. Great trusts may be sought by scoun- drels, but great trusts never seek them; and pertect integrity is at a premium even amo scoundrels, There are some trusts that they wiil never confer on each other. There are occasions when they need the services of true men, and they do not find them in shoals and in the mud, but alone and in pure water.
In the realm of eminent acqirements and eminent integrity there is always room enough. Let no young man of industry and honesty de- spair because his profession or calling is crowd- ed. Let him always remember that there is room enough at the top, or rise above the crowd at the base of the pyramid, will be de- cided by the way in which he improves the first ten years of his active life in securing to himself a thorough knowledge of his profession and a sound moral and intellectual culture.— Dr. J. G. Holland.
