Two Busts Of The Duke. Each Of These Wor...
TWO BUSTS OF THE DUKE . Each of these works has a merit so distinctive , that we do not hesitate to place the two side hy side . Some weeks ago we saw the bust by Noble , and the faet that most struck us as unmistakably set forth in that work , was precisely the fact which meets one at every point of the life now closed . In . the printsellers' windows you may sometimes see an engraving ( and a most excellent one it is ) which is instructive of what we are now referring to . Tliis engraving is a triple portrait of Wellington , inscribed " India—Belgium—the House of Lords . " While looking at it , you see how the stuff of the man , so obdurate to hostile forces , was , rocklike , shaped hy the congenial air in which it grew . Look still at the picture : you will see that there is sequence , but that each point is in relief . It is a chain composed of links . The three ages stand out like three peaks in a granite range .
We do not wonder to find two artists who have chosen the same ne V taking each his different point of view . Of Mr . Noble ' s we should s ' that it was farthest afield , without impugning the truthfulness of ] "^ work in the slightest degree . Your eye rests long on the outline befo " it is attracted to details . ^ We will take an example from , the accessorie ° Mr . Noble has draped his bust in a manner to produce a series of fr and simple folds , but you may trace the uniform of Warden of the Cinque Ports , with , the military stock , riband , and medal . The second bust which is by Mr . Weigall , is a close and perfect model of the . life , exact in details as in size , not failing aesthetically , but more remarkable for its closeness of portraiture . We should say that the artist had made the greatest possible account of an opportunity which he was so fortunate as to obtain , and that the organization of the skull is here accurately carred If so , the study is a curious one for the phrenologically speculative obi server . Not in these two busts only , but in all the good likenesses of the Duke there is a more than common retention of the living look . Napoleon ' s face was " like a mask . " How like all the masks of Wellington are to faces ! Q .
The Eternal " Pahc.Ie. "—Men Have All So...
The Eternal " Pahc . ie . "—Men have all sorts of motives which carry them onwards in life , and are driven into acts of desperation , or it may be of distinction , from a hundred different causes . There was one comrade of Esmond ' s ; an honest little Irish lieutenant of Handyside ' s , who owed so much money to a camp suttler , that he began to make love to the man ' s daughter , intending to pay his debt that way ; and at the battle of Malplaquet , flying away from the debt and lady too , he rushed so desperately on the French lines , that he got his company ; and came a captain out of the action , and had to marry the suttler ' s
daug hter after all , who brought him his cancelled debt to her father as poor Rogers's fortune . To run out of the reach of bill and marriage , he ran on the enemy ' s pikes ; and as these did not kill him , he was thrown back upon t ' other horn of his dilemma . Our great Duke at the same battle was fighting , not the . French , but the Tories in England : and risking- his life and the army ' s , not for his country , but for his pay and places ; and for fear of his wife at home , that only being in life whom he dreaded . I have asked about men in my own company ( new drafts of poor country boys were perpetually coming over to us during the wars , and
brought from the plough-share to the sword ) , and found that a half of them under the flags were driven thither on account of a woman : one fellow wns jilted by his mistress , and took the shilling in despair ; another jilted the girl , and fled from her and the parish to the tents , where the law could not disturb him . Why go on particularizing ? What can the sons of Adam and Eve expect , hut to continue in that course of love and trouble their father and mother set out on ? O my grandson ! I am drawing nigh to the end of that period of my history , when I was acquainted with the
great world of England and iMirope , my years are past the Hebrew poet ' s limit , and I say unto thee , all my troubles and joys too , lor that matter , liave come from a woman ; as thine will when thy destined course begins . 'Twus a woman that made a soldier of me , that set mi ; intriguing afterwards : I believe I would have spun smocks for her had she so bidden me ; what strength I had in my head I would have given her ; hath not every man in his degree had his Ouiphale and Dalilah P Mine befooled me on the banks of the Thames , and in dear old England ; thou niayest iind thine own by Jtappahannoe . —Thaoki : hay ' s JCsmond .
An'GKl . s vnawakiw . —Her habit wus tlnis to watch , nnobservedly , those to whom duty or allection bound lii'r , and to prevent their designs , or to fullil them , ¦ when she had the power . It was this lady's disposition to think kindnesses , and devise silent bounties , and to Kclieme benevolence for those about her . YV <; f . akesuch goodness , for tin ; most purl , : i . s if it was our due ; the Marys who bring ointment for our feet get but little thanks . Some of us never feel this devotion at till , or are moved by it to gratitude or acknowledgment ;
others only reral it . years after , when ( lie days are past in which those sweei , kindnesses were spent , on us , n \ u \ we oiler back our return for the debt by a poor tard y payment of tears . Then forgotten tones of luvc recur to us , and kind g lances shine out of tho past—Osn brig ht and clear ! <> so longed after ! because ! they jiro out of reach ; iim holiday niusick from withins ' ide a prison wall or Kunshine seen through the bars ; more prized because unattainable more hriglif because of the contrast of " pr esent , darkness- and solitude , whenct ) there is no escape- — -TliAOK KRA v ' tf Kswutid .
How wio hiirvivk 'I' " ' - Nkawtaciii :. I'Yoni the loss of a tooth to that of u mistress there ' s no pang that is not benrable . The appr ehension is much more cruel than f lie cert ainty ; and we , make up-our mind to the , misfortune when 'tin irremediable , part with the tormentor , and mumble our crust on t ' other side of the jawH . I think Colonel Ksniond was relieved when a ducal coiu'h-uml-Hix came un < l whisked his clmriner uwuy out of his reach , and placed her in a higher
sphere . As you have seen the nymph in the operamachine go up to the clouds at the end of the piece where Mars , Bacchus , Apollo , and all the divine company of Olympians are seated , and quaver out her last song as a goddess : so when this portentous elevation was accomplished in the Esmond family , I am not sure that every one of us did not treat the divine Beatrix with special honours ; at least , the saucy little beauty carried her head with a toss of supreme authority , and assumed a touch-me-not air , which all her friends very good-huniouredly bowed to . —Thackeray ' s Esmond . ¦ i .

WOUKINa TAILORS ' - ASSOCIATION 34 , Castxe-Street , East , Oxfoed-Steeet . ' Walteb Coopee , Manager . As working-men organized for the management and execution ; of our own business , we appeal with great confidence to our fellow working-men for their hearty support . * We ask that sup . port in the plain words of plain men , without the usual shopl i keeping tricks and falsehoods . We do so because we know that . we offer an opportunity for the exercise of a sound economy , but we make our appeal more particularly because we believ e that every honest artisan in supporting us will feel that he is performing a duty to the men of his class , which to overlook or neglect , wouldbe a treason and a disgrace . We ask for the support of working-men in full assurance that no better value can be given for money than that which we offer , —and we desire success through that support , not solely that we may rescue ourselves from the wretchedness and slavery of the slop-system , —but more particularly that our fellow . workers of all trades , encouraged by our eiample , may , through the profitable results of self-management , place themselves and their children beyond the reach ot poverty or crime . Eel ) ing on the good faith of the people , we await patiently the result of this appeal . The annexed list of Prices will show that in seeking the wel . fare of the Associates they make no monopoly profits . I Notice . —All work done on the premises . No Sunday labour is allowed . The books of account are open to every customer . Customers are invited to inspect the healthy and commodious workshops any week-day between the hours of Ten and Four .
