HQ W TO JIANG PICTURES. No picture onisht to be hung higher than the height of the average human cj'e when the owner of tho eye is standing. It is tho almost universal rule in 1 our houses to hang pictures much above this level, and tbey cannot be enjoyed then*. If tho picture is a portrait, or if it have human faces in it, its eyes should look an nearly into ours as possible: and if there be no such simple guide, perhaps a good rule will be to have tiie line that divides the picture horizontally into equal parts level with the eve.. If ono starts in hanging pictures with the determination to place them so that they can be easily seen and enj/ayed without strotehing the neck tho least, or stooping tho body, lie will bo pretty sure to do well. In remote larm houses and country taverns we often see pictures, particularly portraits, skyed as high as if their owners had been Academy Hangers, and the painters young rivals of a new school. I suppose the reason is that the simple-hearted owners think a picture such a precious thing, it can't be hung too securely out of the reach of meddling bands. 'They are often not clear in their minds as to what a picture is meant for, and not finding in it any practical relation to human life and society, they treat it with reverence and put it where it will distarb them as little as possible. But, as people come to enjoy pictures and

There is a profound melancholy at the baso of men of active and powerful talent seldom suspected. Many vears ago, there were two inen in the tlnited States senate, both of whom are now dead. I have seen tbem both one of them I personally knew Both were men of distinction and took an active part in th© politics of their day and Generation.
