., FALLEXON SLEEP.”
BY MISS CARRIE B. ZE ROW.
Sweet, quaintold words that haunt me so, -
Arid ever’in my memory keep;
I so them over as I go
Wit anxious heart and. footsteps slow—
“ Fallen onsleep.”
And when I think of all they mean,
My feeble pulses stir and leap ;
That far-off Heaven more near is seen, g
The home whereloved ones long have been--
“ Fallen Oti sleep.”
The lonely road grows. rougher still
As up I climb the pathway steep,
And yet these words with courage fill
The life that may not rest, until
“Fallen on sleep."
Not long the time—it comes so fast,
- The hour when death’s still shadows creep, .
When all life’s toilsome days are past
This tired heart shall rest at last, .
_ “ Fallen on sleep."
How sweet that long repose will be
When eyes no longer wake to weep ;'
But in the'glad new day shall see
Long-lost ones who went from me—
“ Fallen on sleep."
. GERRIT SMITH.
Gerrit Smith was born heir_to the vastest
landed estate in New York,'p053ibly in the
whole Union ; for his father, the early part-
ner of John Jacob Astor, had accumulated
acres by the hundred thousand, buyihg
whole townships at a time, giving Gerritt a
town for a present, the day he catne of- age,
and so on: so that, when Judge Peter Smith
‘ died, his-son Gerrit owned In? in fifty-six
of the sixty counties of New .ork State, be-
sides considerable elsewhere, amounting _to
nearly a million and a half acres. This in-
cluded the great“John 'Brown' tract," very
much of which he‘suh‘sequently gave away
in parcels to negroes and other settlers, and
in one border of which lies buried John
Brown of Harper's Ferry—thbugh that
'does not give it's name_to the tract. _In
managing this enormous property, which
was the Work of his early years after his
graduation from college, Gerrit Smith be-
came as thorough-a business man. as the
state held. It is of this phase of his life that
the incident is told 'Of his borrowing $250,-
0000f John Astor to tide over the great
panic of1837,“ and‘throueh tthe neglect of
the county clerk to send fir. Astor a- mort-
gage for security, holding this sum for
several weeks on no other securitythan his
word. - ' '
His anti-slavery principles were rooted in
his nature, and the earlier philanthropic
schemes for weakening the ’evil institution
had his earnest help in speech and money.
He supported :colOnization as the. feasible
measure of emancipation, for a year or. two
after the~American anti-slaverysociety was
formed. But when a convention at Utica'
to form a state anti-slavery society was
broken up bya "mph, he invited its dele-
gates to P‘eteflx’iro, his home, and, on .its
reassembling'there, made one of his most
impassioned speeches, and soon after aban-
doned the colonization scheme, nd became
foremost among abolitionists. e remqiujed
so while slavery existed he underground
railway" was under h special manage-
ment, and hishonse was a refuge for fugi-
tive slaves. By every peaceful means;he
attacked slavery. and had the ostracism 'on
the one. hand, and the admiration on the
other, which such faithful warfare provoked.
_ His post in this conflict was the private
station, except for one session of congress,
in 1853, during which the repeal of their
Missouricompromisc,that firststepoffatality
toward the bitter end, was efiected. He :rc-
signed hisseat at the end of the session,
and never held ofllce again. Mr. Smith was
an advocate of the doctrines of the peace
society; but when our war of secession
came, the concrete necessity overcame ab-
stract principle, and his ardent patriotism
flamed out in raising troops to defend the
Union and free the slave. His only son
served in the army. ,- It has otlen been said
that Gerrit Smith was a confederate With
John Brown inhis Harper’s Ferry project,
but this was not true-; althou h Brown en-
deavored to enlist his aid, Mr. mith strong-
ly d'ssuaded him from the hazardous ex-
periment. But he had a warm interest in
the stern old man, and his sad fate, added
to other sorrows weighing upon Mr. Smith
at the time, so depressed his mind that he
for a while retreated to the Utica asylum.
Mr. Smith was an earnest and ‘ almost as‘
prominent in his temperance as in his a’nti-
slavery labors ; he was among the first lad-
vocates ofwoman suffrage, and his sympa-
thies and efforts were always at the com-
mand of the oppressed. He contributed
munificently to the cause of the Cuban in4
surgents, and one of his cengressional
speeches, twenty-one years ago, was for: the
freedom of Cuba. His benefactions were
- repeated and self-sacrificing. Becoming
convinced that land monopoly was wholly
wrong, he freely gave away a great portion
of his immense estate, bestowing 200,000
acres upon various schools and colleges.
In all these matters he was the same mark-
edly individual and commanding mind; he
wrote and spoke clearly and directly; and
had nearly every advantage, physical and
mental, that makes an orator. ~ .
The Mechanic of the Future.
An esteemed correspondent desires us to
call attention to the difliculty in finding me-
chanics able to fill situations where special
knowledge is required, and to the hindrances
thrown in the way of capable men by trade-
rules and customs,-prescribed and enforced
in the interest of the worthless and incom-
petent. This country is almost overstocked
with professional men ; and whenever cdué‘
cation and ability are united in a young
man, he is almost sure to quit the practical
part of his trade and become a~consulting
engineer and an expert, living by fees. in-
stead of by wages, and selling his knowledge
and not his skill.
taken out of. the reallyworking class; and
many-manufaeturers look in vain, in the
rank and file of their establishments, 'for
men. capable of being master mechanics.
The question as to where our leaders and
foremen are coming from is deserving of our
best consideration; «for there are many in-
fluences-at work which are retarding the
progress of the American working man.
Boys and young men should especially,
bear in mind the value of acquiring a that-
ough knowledge of all branches of the trade
‘ by which they intend to earn .their' bread,
so as to become capable leaders and cou-
- structors of others, less gifted and fortunate
than themselves. The gentleman above I.-
ferred to recently required a first class ma-
chinist to superintend a certain branch of
business, the specialties of which would re-
quire-a few months of attentive ‘study and
practice. It is (liflicult to believe thatthe
rules of a trade society, ostensibly organized
for the protection of the rightsof working-
men, prevented a. skilled artisan from leav-
ing an inferior pesition to be a superintend-
ent ; but it is nevertheleSs a fact. "He stated
that the union to which he belonged would
not allow him to work for an hour at less
than a certain rate, even though his tempo-
rary reduction should certainly lead him to
permanent employment of great responsi-
ilit y and credit, and consequently large re-
muneratiOn. The employer, naturally averse
to havifig his liberal offer thus treated, at
once declined to promote the man on any
terms whatever, as no one who would thus
debar himself from getting on in the world
was fit to put over others, who would natur-
ally follow his example and imbibe his ideas.
, So many qualifications are wanted in a
manager and superintendent of a machine
business, that fitness for the post is rare,
and the ambition to fill it creditably ought
to stimulate our workmen to study and im-
provement.—Scient§fi American. ‘

TIIE mommies on CRIMINALS.—A re-
markable instance of the propagation of
criminals was related by Dr. Harris, of New
York, at a recent meetingof the State Char-
ities Aid Association. In ‘a small village in
aconnty on the upperHudson, some seven-
ty years ago, a young girl named “Margaret”
was set adrift onthe casual charity of the
inhabitants. She ‘became . the mother of a ,.
long race of criminals and paupers, and her
progeny has cursed the county ever since. .
The county records show two hundred of-
her descendants who have been criminals.
In one single generation of her unhappy
life there were twentycbildren; of these,
three died in infancy, and seventeen surviv-
ed to maturity.. Of the seventeen, nine
served in the state prisons for high crimes.
an aggregate term of fifty years, while the
others were frequent inmates of jails, peni-
tcntiaries and almshouscs. Of the nine hnn.
drcd descendants, through six generations,
from this unhappygirl who was left ,on the
village streets, and abandoned in her child-
hood, 0. great number have been idiots, im-
beciles, drunkards,“lunatics, paupers and
prostitutes; but two hundred of the more
vigorous are on record ascriminals. This
neglected little child has thus cost the coun-
ty authorities, in the effects she has trans-
. mitted, hundreds of thousands of dollars in
the expense and care of criminals and pan-
pers, besides the untold damage she has in-
flicted on property and public morals.

CH ROMO-LITHOGRA I'llY.
' It [1:18 often been said that the time is not
very for distant '..when the question, "Who
reads an American book 1’” was answered by
aidisdainful’ smile. However, our literary
. qualities have happily improved so rapidly
that this question has for some time been
silenced. But the question, “Who buys an
American picture i" is of ‘a reach more re-
cent date, and we are sorry to saytliat there
are persons even now among us, who have
not yet been able to‘ answer it satisfactorily
either to themselves or to anybody else.
Nevertheless the signs of progress in the
arts are .multiplying‘around us daily. The
great art museum projects in New York
and in Boston are rapidly taking shape, art-
dealers are flourishing, and have found it
to their interest to bring to-our markets
pictures of the best quality. ;:art associations
and academics are multiplying and are be-
ginning to prosper; the prices paid for good
works ofart, both foreign and American,
' are well nigh enormous, as witnessed by
the late sale of the White collection, and,
most marvellous of all, while formerly all
movements of art objects were from Europe
to America, there has sprung up lately _a
brisk and lucrative export trade in Ameri-
can pictures, which arc eagerly sought for
and highly valued in Europe. The devel-
. opmo'nt‘of‘ this latest phase of American
enterprisc'is due almost entirely to the. ex-
ertiOns of the well known American chrome
publishers, L. Prang do Co , in Boston. This
firm. whose name has become a household
word, and whose works have become house»
small means, has established agencies both;
on the continent and in England, through
quantities of American chromos have been
sold for some years past, and it is but fair
to presume that the works of our artists
having once become known across the
ocean, through their counterfeits, the origi-
nals themselves will very soon be in de-
mand, thus giving not only a new stimulus
to American art, but also changing entirely
the shape of the balance sheet of our Euro-
pean art trade. For, while formerly the
balance W11, entirely on one side and
against us, the scales are now beginning to
gravitate towards the other, and although
we cin hardly hope ever to see the two
sides evenly balanced, we may still feel
confident that a large part of these "luxur-
ies" will soon be paid for, “tit for tat”—-a
consideration which will perhaps help some
practical American minds to a more quiet
enjoyment of these same “luxuries.”
It may not be amiss here to give a short
description of the process of chrome-litho-
graphy, and its rise and progress in the
United States. To commence then, “ab
ovo": Lithography, a process invented by
Alois Lenefelder, of Munich, towards the
end of the last century, is the art of print.
ing from stone. ‘ Its distinctive character,
mechanically, as compared with other
modes of printing, is that the printing ts
done from an entirely smooth surface, while
in woodcut mid type printing the ink is
taken up by raised lines, and in copperplate
or steelplate printing by lines sunk into the
surface. The possibility of printing a de-
sign from a smooth surface, which at first
sight would appear impossible, is obtained
by treating the stones with various chemi-
cal agents, which tend to make those parts
of the stone hearii'igthe design susceptible
to printer’s ink, whilethe undesigned parts
will reject it. .Artistically speaking, the
advantages of lithography lie in the fact
different degress. of depth, but also grada-
tionsof tints, an advantage which it shares
only with the much more expensive mezzo-
tint engraving, and which makes it pecu-
liarly fitting to reproduce the delicate gra-
dations of- an oil or water-color printing.
Chroma-lithography is simply the art of
printing from stone in colors. But still the
art is 'not simple. To‘ reproduce a good oil
painting 'is’ a work' entailing no small
,amount of labor. outlay, skill and care, for
the colors cannot be printed all at once as
somepe‘ople still believe ; but .thcy must be
laid on one by one, now overlaying each
other, now hightening each other by con
trast, glazing, mixing, shading, scnnibling,
and what not else all through the vocabu-
lary of the artistic jargon. When we con-
sider that the'vmost exquisite of Prang's
publications, the “Family Scene in Pompeii,”
after Joseph Coomans, had to pass through
the press forty~three times, each impression
adding a new colOr. printed from a separate
stonoespecially drawn by the artist for the
purpose, and_that it took fully twelve months
ot‘unremitting labor to bring out the first
edition, we will perhaps be willing to allow
that the art is not quite so simple after all.
It would do good to those who are in the
habit of speaking disparagingly of chromos
to visit Prang’s establishment at Boston
Highlands, and to inspect what is called a
“proof-book,” showing the different stages
through which a chrome passes before it is
finished. They would certainly go away
wiser and with a better appreciation of the
amount of thoughtful skill necessary in the
production of these pictures than they ever
had before. But Prang’s establishment will
repay the trouble of a visit to any one. The
arge brick building which has been raised
especially for the purpose to whic t is
dedicated, and which is therefore as cm-
plete in its a ointments as the ingenuity
of its .proprie or could make it, i52180 feet
long by 34feet wide, and four stories in
height. The ground floor contains the en-
gifle-room,the room where the stones are
ground preparatory to drawing upon them,
the carpenter-shop, some presses, and, most
i eresting of all,_the fire-proof vault which
ds .the stones that have been drawn
upon, and from which- the celebrated
chromos are printed; The mass of stone
that has accumulated, and the value locked
up there, may be vaguely griessed at by
considering that the firm has ow; already
116 full chromos on its catalogue (beside
many lesser publications), and that the
weight of stone necessary for the produc-
tion of Murillo’s “Madonna,” for instance
(this, by the way, one of the largest chromos
published), is nearly two ton, while the
value of the 'stones runs from 6 to 25 cents
per pound, leaving entirely out of the cal-
culation the large sums expended for the
drawings upon the stones. The second
story contains the press-room, where most
of the printing is done. The third floor
contains the artists’ rooms, proof-printers,
transfer and etching-rooms (we must,'for
want of space, leave the reader tapnzzle
over these enigmas. If he wants to. know,
let him, go to Prang’s 1). offices; and a pretty
little gallery with toplight, while the fourth
flOOr is devoted to, the stock-room and the
finishing-room, where‘ the chromos are
mounted, sized, varnished, and generally
made ready for the market. Just now all
these different rooms are as busy as bec-
hives, for although Prang’s Chromos are
ever in demand, they are. never more: so
than in the holiday season, since they have
come to .be looked upon, and very justly,
too, as, the most refinedport ofa present for
Christmas or New Year by those who must
look to'the dollars, and indeed by a good
many of the other sort likewise. The
growth of the trade in these ictures has
been truly marvellous. Mr. rang, who
may be called the introducer of - chromo-
lithograph'y into th ited States, for he
was the first succes itator of paintings
here, commenced the business in 1865. His
first two notewOrthy publications, f‘Eai‘ly
Autumn" and “Late Autumn," after Bricher,
were received coldly by the dealers. It was
something new to them, and $6 for each
was esteemed a high price, .so they turned
up their noses at them. But, nevertheless,
in the face of ill. success, and against the
advice of friends, Mr. Prang tried a third
venture, Tait’s “Group of Chickens.” and
this time he took the public by storm. -As
pretty a little animal picture as was ever
painted, looking so closely like an oil paint-
ing that most people could not tell the dif-
ference (some “critics” included), and all
that for $5. Truly the thing was so novel
that everybodyfelthc must have a copy,
and so people “shelled out,” and Prang’s
treasury bagged the bills, to the mutual
satisfaction of all the. parties concerned.
The “Chickens" once selling, “Early Au-
tumn" and “Late Autumn" suddenly com-
menced to share their popularity, ancfwere
in turn followed by such favorites as Cor-
reggia’s “Magdalen,” Mrs. Hart’s “Easter
stadt’s “Sunset in California,” et 0 ins.
’And thus upward and onward has been
Mr. Prang’s progress, until.his- pictures
grace all well appointed and beautifully
furnished parlors, libraries, business offices,
and It Work shops. They make .a most
acceptable present, and one which, just as
this season, will'be highly appreciated. .

to flag, and then quietly remark:
“Susie, I want to ask you something."
She will fidgetarounda little, reply “yes,"
and after-a pause you can add:
“Susie, my actions must have shown—

be aware that— that—"

and try to turri the s‘uh‘ect off by asking
you how you liked the circus, but she only
does it to encourage you. After about ten

Stop again and give her hand a gentle
squeeze. She may give a yank to get it
away or she may not. In either case it
sugars well for you. Wait about five min-

if I only knew—if I was only certain that
my heart had not deceived me, and you
'were ready to share—” ‘
Hold on—there‘s no hurry about it. Give
the wind a chance to sob and moan around
the gables. This will make her lonesome
and call up all the love in her heart. When
she begins to cough and grow restless, you
can go on: .
“Before I met you, this world was a

peaches, and it didn’t matter Whether the
sun shone or not. But .what a change in
one short year! It is for you to say

Give her five minutes more by the clock,
and then add:
