BEAUTIFUL ENGRAvING.-One of the finest
engravings of scriptural subjects which we
have lately seen has just been published by
W. J. Holland, Springfield. It is executed by
Miss Emily Sartain, from painting by Theo-
dore Van Hoist, and represents the Raising of
Jairus' Daughter. The scene is sumptuous
apartment in the house of the ruler of Caper-
naum, where, garlanded with flowers, reclines
upon couch the lifeless form of the maiden.
A food of light, entering from above, bathes
the figures of the dead girl and of the Teacher
of Nazareth who stands beside her. The pal
lor of death is yet on her cheek, but her ear
has caught the life-giving voice, and her droop-
ing lids are just unclosing once more to the
light of the living. The beautiful features are
relaxing into soft smile, as her recalled spirit
returns from the shores of Eternity, in obedi-
ence to the call of the Redeemer, and Death
reluctantly lets go his grasp of the lovely clay.
At the head of the couch stand the parents of
the maiden, awe-struck but filled with sudden
hope and joy, and at its foot are grouped the
three disciples who alone are suffered to enter
the chamber of death. The accessories of the
picture are well conceived and skillfully elab-
grated, and the engraving is executed in adj
mirable style. E~ r7--- sr
Plain prints of this picture are furnished at
the low price of $3.50; plain proofs at 50; In
dia proofs $3.50, and artists proofs at $40. Only
limited number Of proofs will be printed, and
parties wishing them should subscribe early.
