colombo surrounds the body Of the building,
in which are several bass rclicfs by the cele-
brated artist, Lucca del Rubbn.
On entering the villa YOU are seized with a
delightful feeling arising from the GOODNESS

4 TALE FROM THE GERMAN.

In that beautiful part Of Germany which
borders OH the Rhine, there is a noble castle,
which, us you travel on the western banks Of
the river, y ou may see lifting It's ancient tow

trees about as old as itself.
About forty years ago, there lived in that
castle noble gentleman whom we shall call
! Baron ---. The Baron had an only
son, who was not only comfort to his faith
er, but blessing to all who lived on his faith
er's land
1t happened on a certain occasion, thal
/ ibis young man being from home, there came
a French gentleman to see the Baron. $
soon as this gentleman came into the castle
he began to talk oil his Heavenly Father, in
terms that chilled the old mans blood on
which the Baron rrprovcd him, aying," are

about God for he had never seen him.
The Baron did not notice at thi; time what
the gentleman said. but the next morning
took him about his castle grounds, and took
occasion first 10 SHOW him very beautiful

trman admired the picture very much, and
said, 'wb ever drew this picture, knows very
very well how 10 use his pencil

Baron.
Then your son is a very clever man. re-
piled the gentleman.
The Baron went with his visitor into the
garden, and showed him many beautiful flow
crs and plantations Of forest trees.
'Wh has the ordering of t is garden 2
asked the gentleman.

The Baron then loOh him into tic VII
Iage, and showed him small neat cottage,
where his son had established a school, and
whore he caused all young children who had
lost their parents to be received and nourish-
cd them at his own expense.
The children in the house looked so inno-
cent and 50 happy, that tie gentleman was
very much pleased, and when he returned to
the castle, he said to the Baron, what hap
