By MRS. LILLY M. SPENCER, 
Entered according to Act of Congress, in 1869, by Orange Jttdd & Co., in the Clerks Office of the District Court of the United States for the Sonthem District of New York 
The Publishers of the American Agriculturist have purchased of the artist this beautiful painting, and now issue it as a Chromo, believing that it will be gladly secured by 
thousands as an ornament and source of pleasure in their homes. Mrs. Lilly M. Spencer has already won an honorable name in art. Though of a poetic imagination, and the 
author of many paintings 
which comprise classical 
and allegorical subjects, 
she is best known for her 
pictures of domestic life. 
Her works of thi3 class 
have been reproduced in 
colored lithographs and. 
other forms, and through, 
these her name has be- 
come a familiar one 
throughout the country. 
Finding that pictures of 
a domestic character with 
something of the humor- 
ous in them were more 
popular than those to 
which her natural tastes 
inclined her, Jlrs. S. for 
some years painted such 
subjects almost exclusive- 
ly. Her '■ ShakeHands,'* 
11 Jolly "Washerwoman,"* 
" The Gossips," and . 
others, are known to all 
lovers of pictures. They 
are full of life and mean- 
ing, and at the same time 
finished with an accuracy 
and detail that few artists 
attempt. Among her lat- 
est productions arc " War 
-'/t&W- Times at Homo," "The 
Home of the Red, White 
and Blue," "The Starry 
Flag," etc. 
This Chromo is done in the best style, by Hermann Bencke, whose work equals anything of the kind done in thiscountry. Thescene is full of happy life and cauuot fail to 
delight both old and young. The above wood engraving is a miniature representation of it. The picture would prove a^ ornament in any home, and be a most beautiful and 
acceptable present to make to a friend. It is 13xlS inches in size, and, mounted on linen, will be sent by mail, in a tube, with all materials and directions for stretching.
