THE ASSAULT ON THE SWEETS.
THE RESULT.
This is a companion picture t No, 9, and emphatically shows in the most amusing manner the result of the mischief of the little ones. One had climbed on the shelves above the back of the chair, and had found dainties in abundance; another was climbing up by aid of the high back of the large, old-fashioned chair, while others were climbing by aid of the chair and the clothes of those above them; but behold the chair has tipped, and all tumble in the general catastrophe, some with jars of preserves, and some without them. What a chorus! What an uproar! and what a time! All must laugh in spite of themselves when they look at this picture and No. 9. These are the best and most truthful illustrations of the mischief and enquiring nature of young child life that we have ever seen. No description can do anything like justice to Nos. 9 and 10, but all who look at them think them just the best things of the kind they have ever seen, and that is enough.
No. 11. A beautiful Panel Chromo (regular panel size) entitled--
MOTHER AND CHILD.
The is a most charming scene of quiet domestic life in the country. Just by the cottage, under the foliage of the trees, on a rustic seat, are a tender, loving mother, and her dear little baby boy; the little fellow is full of play, and the scene presented is more beautiful than pen can describe. It is indeed one of those pleasant domestic scenes of happiness that makes us forget the bad, and think of that which is good and true in life. Let no person forget that these panel chromos are a great popular hit; they are new to the public, and please all wonderfully. Heretofore such chromos have only been sold at high prices, and we are the first to offer them to subscribers as premiums.
No. 12. A beautiful Panel Chromo (regular panel size) entitled--
HAPPY HOURS.
Out in a beautiful garden, in which are rare and beautiful flowers, and majestic shade trees, in the early summer twilight, are a mother and little girl. All is quiet. Peace reigns supreme. The little one is in a playful mood, and in this picture true happiness is powerfully illustrated, therefore its title -- “Happy hours.” No one can see this fine work of art without admiring it, and no one can be found who, after seeing it, would not like to possess it. We are the first publishers to give the description of pictures known as panel chromos to subscribers; heretofore such pictures could only be secured by purchasing them and paying high prices; they are a great popular hit.
Our subscribers will very much oblige us if they will show their pictures and The Herald to their friends, and explain our liberal terms; by so doing, a favor will be done both to friends and us.
