He must have known his ability, for one of his early expressions was It's in nie but I can't get it out, and must have been true from his many apparent efforts to get the it out. As represented in our picture, he has reached the higher form of Agriculture known as Horticulture, and we see him busily engaged with the fair Lillie, which he is cultivating with patient attention. 29 OMITTED OUT OF CONSIDERATION FOR THE PUBLIC.

X and beautiful, so it was decided that the Next we come to No. 5, a rare production of art. The history of this is very interesting. VVhat the originator had in mind when he first outlined this sketch has never been known 3 for he only began it and died in the atteinpt. VVhen it came into our possession, we fan- cied it was an Archer. The Institution employed an arlfsmz of some note to complete the work, and as head of the waugh department, he allowed his interest in mar- tial atfairs to influence this sketch. As a result, much to our surprise, the picture took on the expression of a minister, and immediately we called it Samuel. But 4Maryl Law decreed it otherwise. Our collection so far had consisted entirely of pictures of the sublime humorous niust play soine part in our gallery. Since that, our much prized Samuel is rap- idly being transformed into an Elhiojulzzz .4rfz's1f, skilled in the Pas a- ina-la, the latest coon dance. XVe like the change, and all agree that this picture is to be a howling success. 30
