RUINS OF CARTHAGE.

From tho Knb Kadra, a gate of Tunis,

ruins, great niases of fallen masonry,
fragments of walls still in position,
hillocks of rubbish, and everywhere the
dust of three empires, and the debris
of three Cartilages destroyed in succes

nrrlucologists and confusion to the
mind of the traveler who goes thither
prepared to expend sentiment over the
remains of Dido's own town.
The church of Koine holds a position
of advantage with reference to the
ruins of the city where so many early
Christianssuflered martyrdom. A range
of high hills stands bet ween the sea and
the wiilo plain which stretches away to

and, in fact, belonging to a different
religious caste. The idea that he could
learn, and receive bcnelit from, poor
outcast children or starving men, never
entered his head; nor did he stop to
think that (imI, and not he, was re
sponsible for thin"s when man had
done his best. Not until suffering and
espomlency had cleared his mind, did
he learn that this is a world of mutual
helpfulness and instruction, in which

This yoniiff curate, with his half-

in possessing those notions A good

as tho curate did. They awe so ac
customed to give out, that the idea of

dangerously near the sin of giving for

brightly characterized the nineteenth
century now closing, there has grown

the division of the world into great

most successful artist fakir if I may
bo allowed such a term is lie who
does life-size portraits from ptioto-tM-apiis
by means of solar printing.
Tho solar printing enlarges the photo
graph, and tho mechanical artist
dashes off the crayon, thus saving him
tho labor of drawing tho features. It
is a quick method, and enables the
busy artist to do moro work. Many
photographers have their pictures
mado life-sizo by crayon artists for
$8 apiece. I supposo, though, that the
photographer gels moro than ?fl from
his customers. ' Sonio of theso artists
do a larsro ainount of work, and do it
more rapidly than the scenic artist.

ful crayon artist not long ago and
found him rushing off portraits at
irrcat rate. He said lie was in a big

nie to help him. I told him I did not
do that kind of work. 'Oil, I don t

Of course there are soni j artists o i the
Howery who turn out life-size bust por

even from a crayon artists point
of view. The best artists rarely go
under $15. unless they are doing work
wholesale for photographers. The
Art League frequently graduates first-
class crayon artists by simply letting
them know that they have no art in
stinct above the mechanical. This in
formation saves tho student vears of
useless study. Tho crayon artist do-
serves credit for his true mechanical
methods, and his cheap prices do not
interfere with other artists who are not
mechanical. Solar printing has
brought life-size crayon and pastel por

limited purses." .V. Y Miil an I Ex

FOURTH-OF-JULY ADVICE.
Timely Bugfeitlom for the mar Vouni
Men of the Period.
Tho annual celebration of the Dec
laration of Independence occurring
aoon, a few suggestions may not bo in
appropriate at this tinio.
Therefore, my son. let mo warn you
against being too Inquisitive. To peer
into the muzzle of a gun whilo your
companion is experimenting upon tho
mechanism at the opposite end of the
weapon may bo quite praiseworthy in
a strictly scientilie point of view, but
the practice is likely to bo attended by
painful results. That is to say, tho re
sults aro sometimes painful; in many
cases tho effect is altogether painless,
but tiioy are lasting.
Do not blow into the smoking end of
n fire-cracker. Tho lire-cracker is lit
tle, but it can blow very much harder
than you.
If you aro firing a cannon, nnd wish
to extract tho greatest possible amount
of amusement out of tho exercise, iu
duco the person who thumbs the vent
to uncover tho nolo nt tne proper mo
ment, and the effect will be startling.
It may remove some of your members,
or even yourself; but then, there is tho
offset that you will savo a great deal
of money that would otherwise lie ex
pended upon gloves, and thcro is tho
added possibility that your board and
clothes will cost you nothing hence
forth. '
Tho spirit of 1776, which you have
heard so much about, is not of that
brand obtainable at the saloon. A
great many persona are not n ware of
this fact, or at jill events they get the
two varieties so confounded that they
make a confoundedly bad appearance
and feel confoundedly bad the day
after.
Do not think, because a young lady
acquaintance smiles upon you on this
day of days, that she is desperately in
love with you. Ice-cream and soda
are extremely palatable to the female
taste, ami a smile is neither exhaust
ing to the purse (iTio purso of tho
smiler) nor detrimental to the physical
system (unless the smiler assimilate
too in tie li of tho i. c. and s).
Of course, you will not go upon the
water in a suit-boat, unless you are
wholly unacquainted with the art of
navigation. If you know nothing
about sailing a boat, you will have a
line time, besides getting a nice bath'
without the trouble of undressing.
I should, also advise you to cat all
the cakes, peanuts and such other con
diments as are dispensed by peripatetic
dealers. The proper study of mankind
is man, and it is, therefore, well to
know how much one's stomach will
bear.
You will not forget to buy a whip.
Why you should buy oue, or what
earthly connection there can bo be
tween a ten-cent whip and the Dec
laration of Independence I am unable
to say; but as it seems to be the proper
thing to do, don't forget to supply
yourself with n whip.
In order to obtain t he greatest possi
ble results from a lire-cracker, do not
throw it in tho street (unless a restive
horse happens to bo passing); but pro
ject it into some house in process of
construction, wnero shavings are
plentiful. You will be surprised nt
the success which will reward your
care and forethought
Before entering a crowd, take the
