The Hand that Saves ua.

Two painters were employed TO fr0sco
the walls Of cathedral. Both stood on
a 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 admiration stood off from the pic
ture, gazing at it with intense delight. b
Forgetting where he was he moved
back slowly, surveying critically the work
Of his pencil, until he had neared tho
edge of the plank upon which he stood.
AT this critical moment his companion
turned suddenly, and, almost paralized
with horror, beheld his imminent peril:
another instant and the enthusiast would
be precipitated upon the pavement be. /.
meath Il he spoke to him, il was certain
death; if he held his peace death was
equally sure. Suddenly he regained his
presence Of mind, and seizing wet brush
flung it against the wall, spattering the
picture with unsighdy blotches of color
ing 80. o. 'rn4a 7fa.rHa 20 heR
The painter flew forward and turned
upon his friend. with fierce upbraidings.
but startled at his ghostly face, he listened
|. to his recital Of danger, looked shudder-
ing over the dread space below, and with
tears eff gratitude blessed the hand that
saved him. u).ar e1l1a eol a3&
Just SO, we sometimes get absorbed
upon the pictures Of the world, and. in
contemplating them, step backwards, un-
conscious of our peril--when the Almigh-
ty dsshes out the beautiful images, and
draws.us. at the time we are complaining
Of his dealings, into his outsiretched arms
of commission and love n .Rlylhltt,

A Pune lRrT.--The springs Of ever
lasting life are within. There are clear
streams gushing up from the depths of
the soul, and flowing ou. to enliven the
sphere Of outward existence. But like
the waters Of Siloah, they sgo softly
You must listen 10 catch the silvery tones
Of the little rill as l, gtidcs along. You
may not witness its silent march but Its
course will be seen in the fresh yerdufe
and the opening aowers--its presence
will be known by forms Of life and beauty
that gather around il. It is thus with the
pure spirit. You may not hear its 'still,
small voice. or heed It's silent asperation;
but it has a moral strength and a holy
influence that is fel, by all around. Tho
wilderness is made to smile in it's presence.
and flowers Of new life and beauty spring
up and flourish forever. Y ey'.'aisr
