TIse Contrast.

San artist in his travels met with the
most beautiful and interesting child he had
ever seen. His face was as pure and calm, "
as that of an angel. Heaven was painted In
every feature oft. Il will paint the portrait
of this child, he said, 'and keep 1t for my.
own, for may never look upon itse like.
again" He painted it, and when trouble
came, and evil passions moved his spirit to
rebel, he gazed upon the likeness of the bow. .
and passion fled, and holier thoughts poe..
sessed his soul. He said: If can find /.
being that will answer for perfect contrast
to the child, one in whom is concentrated
everything vile and ugly of which can con-
ceive. will paint his portrait also.'
Years passed away, and the painter saw
no person sufficiently hideous to answer his
design. Atlength, while travelling in dis
tant land, he went withina PRISONS walls;
and there he saw, stretched upon the fioor of
stone. the object which his fancy had por-
trayed. sA-rhan whose soul was stained with
blood, with glaring eyes, and haggard face,
and with denoniacFage cursing himself hise
fellow beings, and disappearing God, lay
chained within the miserable abode, waiting
| for the momeut'of his execution. sstsA w
The artist transferred his likeness to the
canvas, and placed it opposite that Of tho
child. How striking. how complete the con-
trast!--the angel boy-~the fiend man, His
dream of weary years was fulfilled. ',.
Butswhat a,shock his after discovery muak
have given him. The portraits ,Sers Of Hss
sams being Through gradual course Of
sin and malignant passion, that heavenly
Eface had been transformed into the countsn.
