I series ol'Calendar pictures inst drop I in at Wilbite's Drug Store and call for those rural lifo Calendars. Dike all pre vious souvenirs sent out by this linn, these aro gotten up in splendid style, being in imitation, yet most expensive Pastel work. The tints, the background and the rich water colors are superb. Tho series consists of live separate paint ings. The first is "an accidental meet ing," showing a huntsman, fatigued in body, yet in spirit as fresh as the fair young maid who sets near a lovely stream of water, to 'which she has driven her milch cows, and into whose listening ears he pours tho tender tale, so old, yet always nen. She, abashed, hears not the murmuring waters at her feet, and sees not the browsing kine, but, sealed by the silvery mountain stream, she looks thoughtfully at the bending water-lillies upon the bosom of tho mirrored surface, and reads in its graceful dependence the tale of love the handsome stranger tells. The fates have determined their destiny, for in the next scene down at the mill, on the same stream, on a little gangway bridge, just below the mill, you will lind this same coupie-he fishing and she taking tho fish from the hook, and both with an air of more familiarity. The third shows another trystring place, to which the maiden has brought in her hand the acknowledgement of her love a little bunch of lilacs, and, standing by her cows as they drink, the young suitor sits just across the r-tream" on a huge boulder, gazing intently into space, as if he wished to know just how to secure from the idol of his heart the choice flow ers which she holds. The fourth seems entirely odd, since you see neither of the suitors but the cows alone beside the laughing waters, yet, just over the hills, you see a new settlement. It is not the one above the old mill, but a new one, and the fifth and last of the series will unfold the mystery as to the absence of both the parties from the usual watering place with the cows. It represents the business side of life-real life-for you see the two walking side by side, he with an axe on his shoulder and she with a little chubby babe, into whose laughing eyes father and mother are looking with a joy and delight beaming on their faces, and to them the world seems but a song. These beautiful Calendars are free to their customers, (one only to a family), . of which you may take choice. This linn knows how to treat its customers, and never fails to remember them in a fitting way. Go to see the pictures, and while you look at them be sure and take in their large stock of Drugs, Medicines, Paints, Oils, Varnishes, itc. The Surprise of All.
