ive to elevate and instruct the people, at twenty-five cents a
head (or packages of five tickets for one dollar), and inspire a love
for the pure and beautiful in art, with a liberal discount to Sunday and
day schools.

As the audience sit spell-bound (no extra charge for reserved seats)
before one grand conception of the artist's pencil,--lost in
admiration--another glides noiselessly into view; the eye is gratified,
the brain is refreshed, the digestion stimulated, and we all breathe
easier.

This alone is worth double the price of admission.

But not to detain you longer on the threshold, I will ring up the
curtain, and travel with you in this varied journey.

THE GIANTS' CAUSEWAY.

This stupendous structure is agreeably located on the coast of Ireland,
where the waves are ever beating, and the stormy winds do blow. These
pillars, grottoes, and colonnades strike the beholder with awe. They
have resulted from some grand convulsion of Nature; rocked in the cradle
of the deep, as things seem to be here.

It is not yet decided whether they belong to the pre-Raphaelite or the
pre-Adamite period.

As the spectator gazes spell-bound on this scene of grandeur, he almost
fancies that he hears the surges beating heavily at the base of these
grim rocks. (This is effected by costly machinery, concealed behind the
canvas.)

These columns have probably been standing here for centuries. At least
that is my opinion.

I propose it to this scientific audience with great humility.

By this I mean that the great HUGH MILLER thinks as I do.

He must be a bold man to contradict such authority.

This, however, is a boulder!

JUAN FERNANDEZ,

An island in the Pacific. It is called an island, as it is entirely
surrounded by water. It is famous as the residence of ROBINSON CRUSOE,
who, to avoid taxation in his native land, lived here in great
retirement. He had a faithful servant, FRIDAY, whom he enjoyed as much
as one of these boys here does Saturday afternoon.

There is quite a local look to this view, which renders it valuable to
the enthusiastic student of geography.

Ships sometimes stop here. Our artist's ship stopped fifteen minutes,
thus giving him ample time for this spirited and life-like
representation.
