George Cralkskank, the Great
Humorous Artist.
® entar y was still very young when Cruik-
inank began the series of Lottery prints he was
Jesnned to do; then sheets of Twelfth, Night
Thar act ers aids to a game, or custom, of two
generations ago—and children’s books, pub-
lshed at a penny apiece, and caraicatures, and
iomic valentines—these last among the rarest of
us works now. Many were the publishers that
smployed him in those and the next early years
—there was James Wallis, the issuer of chil-
“t^- S L penny bookf *; Knight; Chappell, the
)u pusher of London Cries ; Hone, Baldwyn,
iobins, Tilt and Bogue, Tegg, and so on, as
ame grew and years increased, to Bentley and
/bapman and Hall. At first, of course, the de
igns were not well paid for—shillings, even,
nd not pounds, were cheerfully accepted for
armatures that Hone published and spread
ver the town. And as popularity grew, and
he man had made his mark, and Crnikshank's
work got to be everywhere, he had not the wis-
i® 10 r ® 8 ^ ra ^ I1 t and reserve. Oue doubts much
whether, at any time of his life, he had much
accumulation of money. Anything, indeed, but
1 'luxurious man, his ways were yet notcompat-
ble with thought for the morrow. He was twice
married: the second time to the daughter of
Baldwyn, who had published much of his early
work. There were many drains upon his purse,
hand was very free and open; and being
ither a bourgeois, who must save for saving’s
be, nor an artist in society, who must save for
e position of his children, he accepted, on the
bole, not very despairingly, a poverty he did
jt feel dishonorable. Even when he borrowed
cney, his borrowing did not ‘dull the edge of
isbandry.’ He was to the last a worker, proud
his work—George Cruikshank, no small per-
oality, no light to be hidden under a bushel,
_ ud of his fame of the moment; contented in
knowledge that it would hardly decrease,
ruly, indeed, the qualities of Cruikshank’s
rks are not those we are all accustomed to
'k for in art that is decorative and imitative,
does us good to look at Croikshank’s works,
?t because their qualities are not these. His
in tings, such as they are, have no charm of
lor: his work in black and white—which is
t, of course, by which he must be remember-
-has no suavity of faultless line and no bal
ked order of intricate composition. Worse
n than that, certain objects that he was rep
enting pretty often were never mastered by
with any certainty. A well-made rocking-
e approaches to Nature and the Greek more
__ rlv than does many a horse of Cruikshank.
ie beauty of a tree, except when he drew it
very small in a more distant background, was
habitually lost upon him. Neither the virtues
of a draughtsman trained in academies nor those
of a painter who has lived with the country in
its intimate life are perceptible in Cruikshank.
But he observed men, and the characters of men;
and what he observed and cared about in these
he recorded with memory so accurate and fin
gers so nimble and adroit, that one overlooks,
aud has a right to overlook, the iaok of the
trained draughtsmanship. He did nothing me
chanically. There are so many thoughts in
each of his works, and all the thoughts are cl ear
ly expressed. That is the virtue of an artist.
His groups are as full of movement as a fete of
David Teniers. There is action or rest in each
of his figures—never stolidity or indifference.
The work is alive: it can speak and can suggest.
These are virtues of an artist, if an artist is not
to mean henceforth only a decorator—only the
reslizer for us of exquisite existing form. The
Jwl slang of the aesthetic studio calls a picture
invention’—‘inventions’crowd upon as from
ieea and Fulham. Are we to allow the word
he latest juxtaposition of agreeable tints, and
y it to the lively and expressive grouping of
and women who lived? To speak with ac-
,cy, ‘inventions’ do not exist in art—we have
o with combination only—a re-shuffling of
>erp‘ tual cards. The combinations of Cruik*
k, which we count by the thousand, are
and varied and veracious: they are full,
, of qualities that are artistic, though he
not preoccupied with considerations of art,
though visions of high beauty were very
denied to him.

that there resulted, first, the Bplendid realiza
tion of scores of various characters in the
'Sketches by Boz,’ and then the realization of
the stress and excitement of the critical mo
ments of tragical adventure, of which one of the
finest instances is to be seen in ‘Oliver Twist,’
and another in ‘Jack Sheppard,’ and another in
‘Miss Eske, carried away during her Trance'—
an illustration done as late as 1849, to the Clem
ent Lorimer of Angus Beach. These are the
things that show George Cruikshank to have
had, like the one great genius with whom he
worked, the imagination of tragedy.
Take what is almost the final illustration to
the ‘Oliver Twist’—The Last Chance’—Sykes on
the house-roof. With an imaginative power,
which is about as mush lacking to the merely
popular illustrator as there is lacking to him
even the modest habit of closely studying the
work of the author he is employed to illustrate.
George Cruikshank has realized and conveyed
every common and repulsive feature of that eas
ily repulsive scene, in such away that the stress
of movement and beauty of tone and line save
it from pure brutality, and give to the represen
tation of it an artistio dignity aa far from the
maker of the melodrama as from the oarioatur-
ist. An ugly corner of one forgets what obscure
quarter, the squalid house, the chimney with
rope tied round it by the esoaping and hunted
man now staggering on the broken tiled roof
the evil and worn faee, the energy of notion—
that is the main subjeot. But what a fitting ao-
companyment in the surroundings—the bull
dog, the criminal’s constant companion, crouch
ed en the roof-top with dull stare; the half-
shrouded houses across the narrow street, with
the clothes-line hung from the window, and
from other windows the heads of eager on-look-
ers, brandishing defianoe and warning, and be
yond these what further mystery of the dark
town whose shabbiest of habitations lie crowded
and begrimed under the low, wild sky !
‘And Miss Eske.’ It is a night when all the
elements are restless and disturbed. The wind
on the Thames has lashed the water of the rising
tide into irregular waves, beaten from wharf to
wharf and from pier to pier of the bridges. A
boat in the foreground, half submerged, is struck
against the lower stonework of the near bridge
—the unconscious figure, darkly veiled, lies
crouched in the stern, and evil men see immi
nent danger in the accident of the moment. On
the grey black river flowing behind, no other
craft is near them : distant masts are discerned,
of coal barges it may be, lying up safely with
their gentle to-and-fro motion, under the tall
protecting wall of black warehouses, with high
chimney and crane and other river-like gear
along the wharf: and behind this dark safety of
the solid land at least, however forbidding and
ugly,the distant sky is shot with vivid lightning.
The unity of this and its impressiveness are the
work of a creative artist. Meryon himself, with
his more complete command of the resouces of
the art of etching, would not have denied the
inspiration of this, nor of that other conception,
not a whit less forcibly executed—‘The Murder
on the Thames,* in Jack Sheppard.’

What is Portaline?
This question is thus briefly and truthfully
answered. Portaline, or Tabler’s Vegetable Liv
er Powder, derives its name from the faot that it
regulates those portals of the body through
which the most dangerous diseases make their
entrance into the human system. Simple roots
and herbs, for which we are indebted to bounti
ful nature, have been scientifically combined,
and presented as a cure to all suffering with
Constipation, Bilionsness, Dyspepsia, and all
diseases arising from a torpid liver. Price 50

Take that Buckeye out of Tour Pocket!
Now that the medical properties of the Buck
eye are clearly established, and utilized for the
cure of Piles, why not make a direct application
of its healing virtues in the form of Tabler's
Buckeye Pile Ointment and be cured ? This
preparation is made from the alkaloid of the
Buckeye, or Horse Chestnut, and, combined
with other ingredients, is offered to the publie

TESTIMONIAL.
The success which the Kenmore High School has
achieved under the energetic and conscientious admini
stration of the Principal and his able Assistant, and the
preparation and training of its pupils, who have entered
the University of Virginia, have fully justifiod the recom
mendations of this excellent school to the public, at its
beginning. I regard it as a very successful educational
foundation, and I trust it will continue for many year to
do its good work for our State and country.
