If any of our readers wish to see a beau* tittil series ol'Calendar pictures inst drop in at Wilhito's Drug Store ami cull for those rural lito Calendara. I.Ike all pre vious souvenirs sent mit by this ihm, those oro gotten up in splendid stylo, hoing in Imitation, yet most expensive Pastel work. The tints, the background and tho rich water colors art? superb. Tho series consists of live separate paint ings. Tho first is "au accidental meet ing," showing a huntsman, fatigued in body, yet in spirit as freah as tho lair young maid who wets uear a lovely stream of water, to 'which she bas driven hor milch cows, and into whoso listening ears be pours tho toudor tule, so old, yet always new. She, abashed, hears not tho murmuring waters at her feet, and sees not tho browsing kino, but, sealed by the silvery mountain stream, she fooks thoughtfully at tho bending wa'.or-lillioH upon the bosom of tho mirrored surface, and reade in its graceful dependeuco the tato of love tho handsome stratiger tolls. The fates have dotorminod their destiny, for in tho next scone down nt tho mill, on tbe samo stream, on a little gangway bridge, just below tho mill, you will lind this samo couple-be fishing and she taking tho lieh from tho book, and both with an air of moro familiarity. The third shows another trystring place, to which the maiden has brought in her band the ?icknowledgotneut of her love a little bunch of lilacs, and, standing by her cows as they drink, the young suitor sits just across the r.treatn on a huge boulder, gazing intently into space, as if he wished to know just how to secure from the idol of bis heart the choice flow ers which she holds. The fourth seems entirely odd, since you seo neither of tbs suitors but the cows alono beside the lar.gbiug waters, yet, josi over tue hills, you see a new settlement, lt is not the one above the old mill, but a new one, and tho fifth and last of the serios will unfold the mystery as tn the absence of both th? parties from the usual watering Claco with the cows. It represents the U8in6ss side of life-real life-for you see the two walking side by side, he with an uxe on his shoulder and she with a little chubby babe, iuto vf hose 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 toa family), of which you may take choice.
