It is not excellence if it requires to he demonstrated as such; and thus to point out too particularly the merits of a work of art is to admit that they are not merits altogether. The name Mosaics, so says a noted correspoiident of ours, suggests a remark made by a lady thirty-eight years ago when passing this school. The street had just been Inacadamizeil. It consisted of finely broken rocks, rammed down into a sort of mosaic. The lady was fond of puns. As she crossed the rough way, the pointed rocks pressing on her thin shoes made her exclaim: This mosaic is not what it is cracked up to be. It makes my feet mos' ache. We indorse the sentiments of our noted correspondent who trusts that we will not make his head mos' ache with wit and learning, and we hope that you will consider our mosaics more than it is cracked up to be.
