LOCAL MATTERS.

sr.ruARY.-Grosp No. 4.-"Christ found
with the Doctors-"-In this representation,
the wonder of the doctors. as they listen 10
"The child Jesus" is finely shown. inen
w;sdom is baffisd-their boarded knowledge
surpassed. He, who in after years compelled
even his enemies TO acknowledge that HE
snake as never man spake," is, even ho" !"
his childhood, giving forth sure eVioeh'e ""'
the wisdom of God is lodged within II IN.
Group No. 5-"rhe Temptation "-opoh
the summit of a mountain, far removed nun
the noise and hustle of the world, we here oiS-
cover two beings, apparently in friendly con-
verse of the scenes below. Butifwe marx
carefully the coun,enances, we shall soon oe
convinced, that there can be no fellowship De-
tween the two. Upon the one there Is Inc
sweetness ofheaven impressed, while the oth-
| or startles us with its marks of dark, demonai-
cal passions 1t is the conflict between Inc
Prince ofPeace," and the Prince OF the pow
| er Of the air." We hear these words OF pow er,
SECT thee hence, Satan" and straightway, the
vanqushed foe, fees away in WRATH ul des-
pair. And now there are bright-wiuged an
| gels lowering round, and gently ministerlng to
their victorious King.
| Group No. Ga fgurative portraitHre OF
| Christ turning Water into Wine."-Ihe scene
here presented is that of the beginning OF ira
Giles which Jesus wrought. The bride and
the bridegroom are seen seated in the centre OF
the room, and the governor of the feast upon
| an elevated platform at the farther end. The
| moment presented by the artist is that in which
Jesus said, "Draw out now and bear unto the
governor" Having tasted the wine which the
servant handed him, and being ignorant OF the
source from which it had been derived, the
governor called the bridegroom, and remarked
to him that he had reversed the usual order OF
things by reserving the best wine till the last.
| 1t does not, however, appear that the BRIDE
groom himself knew anything of the miracle;
| he must therefore have been at loss to ac-
count for the fact stated, until informed by the
attendants. The scene before US is lifelike
and full OF interest.

! the fact Of the Poor House and MIR. Hulcher's
