A man grinding scissors. When wound up he holds his scissors against the
rapidly revolving stone, at the same time working the treadle with his
leg. He stoops over his work, at intervals straightens up, and examines
the scissors. It is very entertaining.

The Woman’s Rights Advocate.
[Illustration]
In presenting this advocate to the public, and remembering with
satisfaction the cordial reception our sterner suffragists and preachers
have received, and believing in every respect she is their equal, we
shall hope to receive as many calls for her. This woman will not insist
upon the last word. Societies supplied with advocates on short notice.

The Artist at his Work.
[Illustration]
This figure represents an artist in his studio in an effort to surpass
Raphael. He is dressed in his morning gown and smoking cap, and appears
to be very much engaged with his painting. He surveys, in different
lights, his incompleted work of art, which rests on a small easel,
and then commences to paint with all the confidence of one of the old
masters. This is a deservedly popular toy.

Grandmother Rocking Cradle.
[Illustration]
This domestic picture is perfect in miniature. No grandmother, with
all her experience, ever rocked a cradle more naturally or with more
tranquilizing effect. While she rocks the cradle with her foot, with one
hand she fans the infant sleeper, and with the other hand wipes her face
with the handkerchief, and occasionally turns her head and views the
situation with approval.
This is a combination of the toys most coveted by little girls.

The Italian Organ Grinder.
[Illustration]
This devotee of classical music discourses several popular airs, in
perfect imitation of his larger brethren. While turning the crank he
occasionally shakes his head at the monkey which dances upon the organ,
and frequently passes his little cap for contributions. The musical
instrument is of the best Swiss manufacture.
