Emblematic COlOrs.

In very early art, we find colors used in a
symbolic or mystic sense; and until the an
cient principles and traditions were wholly
worn out of momory, or set aside by the la
ter painters, certain colors were appropriate
to certain subjects and personages, and could
not arbitrarily be applied or misappled. In
the old specimens of stained glass, we find
these Specifications scrupulously attended to-.
Thus:
White, represented by the diamond or
silver, was the emblem of light, religious
purity, innocence, virginity, faith, joy and
life. Our Saviour wears white after His res
direction. In the judge, it indicates integ-
rity; in the rich man, humility in the wo-
man, chastity. twas the color consecrated
to the Virgin, who, however, never wears
white, except in pictures of the Assump-
ton.
Red, the ruby, signified fire, divine love,
the Holy Spirit, heat, or the creative power,
and royalty. White and red roses express
love and wisdom, as in the garland with
which the angels crowned St. Cecilia. In a
bad sense, red signifies blood, war, hatred

LOOK Our, YOUNG MAN.-One sin may
ruin YOUR character. Did you ever reflect
on the consequences of single indulgence
in vice? The best men have failed through
the suggestion of others. How careful you
should be while in the freshness OF your
days, lest blight fall on you forever. If
invited to places of resort, where it is diff
cult to decide, take the safe course, stay
away, and save your reputation. This is
Jewel of inestimable value-too precious to
be put in jeopardy. No man ever regrets
that he kept aloof from temptation, and to
the close Of life he expresses joy that he was
saved from the path of shame by giving
decided negative, when the voice of pleasure
beckoned him on. BE decided and you arc
safe. Yield, and you may be lost. Watch
with diligence, and guard every avenue
through which sin may reach you. In no
other way will yeu be sure to overcome the
evils of the world.
