a Royal .4rg,aneht. - Frederick the
Great was very fond of disputation; but
as he generally terminated the discussion
by collaring his antagonist and kicking
him, very few of his guests were disposed
to enter the arena against him. One day,
when he was even more than usually dis
posed for an argument, he asked one Of
his suite why he did not venture to ex-
press his opinion on some particular ques-
tion. 1T is impossible, your majesty,
was the reply, .to express an opinion be-
fore a sovereign who has such strong con-
victions and who wears such thick boots.

ENBLEMATlC COLORS.

In every early arr, we find colors used IN
a symbolic or mystic sense and, until The
ancient principles and traditions were wholly
worn ont of memory or set aside by the lat.
ter painters, certain cOlors were approprI-
ate to certain objects and persoages,
and could not arbhrqriIy be applied or mis-.
applied. IN the old specimens OF stained
glass, we find signihcatans scrupuIousIy at
tended to.
Thus:- White, represented by the diamond
or silver, was the emblem Of light, religious
purity, innuccnce, vrglny, faith, Joy and
life. Our SAVIOUR wears white after his re-
surrcclion. In the Judge, il indicated ln'eg.
riry; in the sick man humility; in the woman
chastity. Ii was the color conSecrated to
The virgin who, however, never wears white,
except in pictures Of the Assumption.
Red, the ruby, signlIied fire, divine love,
the lInIv Spirit. heat or the creative power,
and royalty. White and red roses express
love and innocence, or love and wisdom, as
in the garland with which the angels CROWN
ed ST. Cecilia. In bad sense. red SlSe'fies
blood, war, hatred, punishment. Red and
black combined ere the colors Of purgato-
nv and the devil.
Blue, or the sapphire, expressed heaven,
the armament, truth conlancy, hdcl'ly.--
Christ and the Virgin wear the red tune and
blue mantle as sIgnfyIng heavenly love and
heavenly ruth. The same colors were CIV.
en- to ST.. John the Evangelist, with this diff.
ference, that he wore the blue tunc and the
red mantle; in the latter pictures, The colors
arc sometimes rcd and green.
Yellow or gold, was the symbo OF the sun;
of The eooodncss of God, initiation or m r.
riagc, faith, or fruillulness' In the pictures
of The apostles. ST.. Peter wears yellow
mantle over blue tunc. In a bad sense,
yellow signifies Inconsistency, jca,"u'y, deceit
in this sense it IS given 10 the traitor Judas,
who is generally habilcd in dirty yellow.
Green, The emerald, is tho color OF spring;
ofhnpe particularly hope IN Immortality; and
of victory, as the color Of tho palm and The
laurel
Violet, the amethyst, srgniiicd love and
truth; or, passion or suffering. Hence ii Is
the color often worn by the martyrs. In
some instances our SAVIOUR, after his rcsur-
rection is habi!cd in violet instead "f a
blue mantle. The Virgin also wears violet
after the crucifxion. Mary MagdaIcn, who
as a patron saint wears the rcd Fnbe, as pcul-
tent wears violet and blue, the coIors OF
