OUR ILLUSTRATIONS
Are eminently characteristic, and form an admirable contrast. 1. " A Winter Day." — Who does not know this scene? — the lowering sky, the tossing branches of the almost leaflesstrees, the stretch of road without a sign of man or beast, impress the beholder with a sense of absolute finality. In some mysterious way it is more dreary and hopeless than a snowy landscape, and the lingering red of the stormy sky only increases the desolation. 2. " Still Waters." — A delightful little glimpse of summer pictured in a tranquil stream, flecked with shadows, lush vegetation, a fisherman and his boat, over all a soft, atmospheric effect and the indescribable glow and sparkle of a perfect day, on which " it is bliss to be alive."
