Seldom has the appearance of great man
been SO faithfully preserved. In the picture OF
IN. School of Athens we look on the faces of
the other philosophers, and detect them only by
their likeness to some ideal model which the
rxiuter has imagined to himse I. But the Soc
rates of Raphael ia the true historical Socrates
of Xenophon and Aristophanes. Could we
transport ourselves back to the Athenian market
place during the Peloponesian war, we should ut
once recognize one familiar figure, standing with
uplifted finger aud animated GESTURE, amidst a
group Of handsome youths or aged soptists,
eager 10 hear, to learn, and to refute. We should
see the Silence features Of that memorable
CONFERENCE.-The fiat nose, thick lips, the prom-
nent eves-the mark Of thousand jests from
fri.ods and foes. We should laugh at the pro-
tuberance of the Ealstaf stomach which no me-
cessary hardship, no voluntary exercise could
bring down.
We should perceive the strong built frame,
the deyel pement of health and strength which
never sckened in the winter campaign OF Poti-
des, nor vet in the long and sitting heats OF the
blockade of Athens: which could enter alike
into the iovial revelry of festivities of Keno
phon and Plato, or sustain the austenties, the
scapty clothing, the bare feet, and the coarse
fare of his ordinary life. The strong common
sense the humor, the courage of the man, were
conspicuous on his very first appearance. And
every one knows the story Of the physiognomist
who detected in his features the traces of that
fiery temper which for the most part he kept un-
der severe control, but which, when it did break
loose, is described by those who witnessed II as
absolutely terrific, o'erlespng both in act and
language every barrier of the ordinary decorum
