Beautiful Figure.

Two painters were employed 10 ffest0 the
walls ofa magnificent cathedral; both stood
on rude scaffolding constructed for the pur-
pose some forty feet from the floor.
One of them was so intent upon his work
that he became wholly absorbed, and in ad-
mration stood off from The picture, gazing al
it with intense delight. Forgetting where
he wns he moved back slowly, surveying
critically the work Of his pencil, until he hud
nearcd The very edge of the plank upon which
he stood.
At this critical moment his companion
turned suddenly, and almost frozen with bor.
ror, beheld his imminent peril another in
stant and the enthusiast would be precipi-
taed upon the pavement beneath; if hs
spoke 10 him, it WINS certain denth-f he
held his peace, death was equally sure
Suddenly he regaIned his presence Of mind,
and seizing wet brush, flung il against tbs
wall, 81 Iattering the beautiful picture with
unsighrly blotches Of coloring. The painter
flew forward, and turned upon his friend
with fierce imprecaton; Lut startled at his
ghastly face, he listened 10 The recital Of dan
ger, looked shuddering over the dread space
below, and with tears of gratitude blessed the
hand that saved him.
So we sometimes get absorbed hrofi The
pictures Of the world, and in coiilemplat ling

peril, when the Almighty dushes out tho

ed arms of mercy, and are sated.
