INTERESTING ART Discovery IN RoME-The
interest Of the artistic portion of the commUn-
ty in politics has this week been suspended
by the discovery of a remarkably beautiful
statue Of Venice, in Parian marble. Possess
ing very high merit, is pronounced by some
coanoisSeurS to be as fine as as the Venus de
Medca. Eminent sculptors, while more mod
crate in their praise, still speak of it as being
very beautiful, as being very probably copy
Of the Florentine Venus, and as being of
Greek Art. 1t will settle a very disputed
point, and lead probably to the correction of a
great error in the repairs made by Bernini in
the Venus de Medic 1t will be remembered
that Bernin has so adjusted her arms that,
while bent over the bosom and lower part of
the body, they do not touch it in any part
In the new statute the marks of the fingers on
the right thigh and left bosom are plainly Wis
ible. The head, too, ! should say. is some-
what larger than that of the Venus de Medici
The head has been broken off, as also the two
arms, but the only parts missing are the left
hand and wrist and the fingers of the right
hand, all of which may be easily supplied, as
enough exists to show the perfect pose of every
limb of the body.-ROms correspondence of the

Catch ths sunshine though it t1ickers

On heart with sorrow bowed
Catch it quickly-it is passing,
Passing rapidly away;

There is yet brighter day.

One pale Pickering beam of light;
There is Joy within its glimmering,
Whispering it's not always night.

Look up look up like man
There's no time to grope in darkness,
Catch the sunshine when you can.
Catch the sunshine though life's tempest
Nav unfurl its chilling blast
Catch the little hopeful straggler
Storms will not forever last
Don't give up and say " forsaken :"
Don't begin to say I'm sad ~

Catch the sunshlne don I De grleVlng

Overcome the heaving tide,
There's sparkling CLEAN of sunshine
Waiting on the other side.

Messenger in Hopes employ,
Sent through clouds, through storm end pillows,
Bringing you cup of joy.

an estimate which is far below the actual value of

ly issued by JuAREz orders the con6scation of the

which the Church possesses one hundred and fifty,

monks and secular clergymen who now inhabit them
are to be turned adrft. The nuns alone are 10 be
respected and they to have full power over their
respective endowments, and may derise them by
will as they please. No novices are in the future
to be permitted to take the veil, and final and
peremptory separation of Church and State is to
take place from the date of the decree. Whatever
we may think of the boldness of this measure, or
of the sweeping nature of the provisions by which
it is to be enforced, we can scarcely believe that
the decree will be carried out Its manifest ten
dency is to strengthen the power of the Reaction
