Love’s Messenger.—Her face is wreathed in happy smiles, as she dis- patches her earrier-dove to bear a letter to her true love. It is now safe to leave her in the hands which girlhood hopes for; so we bid farewell to her as she departs amid 15.

Icicles.—Mother Goose (one of the most pliable authorities in the world) tells us that little boys are made of snaps and snails ft dd puppy-dog’s tails, so here he comes right out of the midst of these icicle*! 2. This is the Infantile period (Statuary), 'vhere most of the time is spent in his pa- tient mother's arms. He looks like a lively chap even now, and his baby fingers are busily examining some toy. The pleasing group vanishes into the 3. Sunny Landscape, and in a moment the boy comes forth in the second, or explor- l ng period, taking his . 4. First Step (Statuary)on the smooth grass, *b search of curiosities. A little bird first Jttracts his notice, and, no doubt, typical of bis future, in his eagerness to win the prize be will have many a tumble. He continues the chase, and disappears behind the . 5. Guns of a Fort.—The martial surround- ings excite his ambition, and he seizes a brum, and he comes before us in the noisy Period, as a , 6. Drummer Boy (Statuary).—Boy-like, he bas small consideration for times or places, bud with a rub-a-dub-dub he boldly marches tnto this 7. Hall of Beauties.—Some new influence s eems to work upon him here. Perhaps the graceful pose of a statue, the airy forms in a Picture, or some strain of sweet music, has directed his active feetin an unwonted Pleasure, and he appears in the excitable Period. Sixteen colored slides wood Unframed colored and plain OF YOUNG AMERICA. RIODS WITH A STOP. 8. Dancing Gleefully (statuary).—Round and round he whirls with his companion, until suddenly they are lost in the 9. Deep Snows of the wild mountain His ardor is cooled on this unexpected transi- tion, and when he comes forth he seems a changed creature. The constructive period has arrived, and he really seems bent on 10. Doing Something (Statuary).—Already he has carved quite a. fair dog’s head on his stick, and gives promise of becoming an artist. He soon wearies of this. 11. The Wide World lies before him, and he will seek his fortune in some great city. The spirit of the 12. Period of Wandering (Statuary).—per- vades his whole soul, and he is ready to join in any adventure. We see him with a com- panion, setting out on his journey. But it is a 13. Rough Road.-He finds there are mount- ains to climb. His courage fails; he gives up, and returns to his home. When we next see him he has reached the seventh heaven. 14. The Love-making Period (Statuary).— And now that he has sought the society of the gentler sex, we will hope for him, and ■ leave him holding up his umbrella to keep the 15. Falls of Niagara from wetting his sweet- heart. Silence is 16. Golden, and the lovers are too absorbed in their happiness for aught else to disturb them. mounted and plain, $11.50. slides, $10.50.

It may ?°t be just the exact spot where the infant reuses was found, because things change in ^be course of 4,000 years or more, and it is difficult to always decide upon landmarks. However, Egypt is not a very large country, :Jbb the scenery is rather monotonous, so we * v ill imagine this to be the spot where 2- Pharaoh’s Daughter (Statuary) found Hebrew babe, whom she reared in all >bc luxury and science of the court of Egypt. r*ythis peculiar training he became emi- bently fitted for his office of deliverer of his Ration. The princess now leaves us with Q cr new-found treasure and vanishes amid a jTropical Grove, for we find that in these Junes the energetic Egyptians planted many V. 1 their beautiful avenues with stately trees, fjbw, through the vista of this grove we see , be form of a woman ot noble proportions, °bt struggling in agony ; it is 4. Lot’s Wife (Statuary), as her limbs and body are gradually turning to salt. She had heard the Divine declaration of this punish- ment on whosoever turned a glance of lin- gering regret upon the doomed cities, and now she too, is left to perish for her diso- bedience. 5.
