BEAUTIFUL FIGURE.-Two

BEAUTIFUL FIGURE.-TWo
painters were employed to fres-
coe the walls of a magnificent
cathedral ; both stoodon a rude
soaffolding, erected for the pur-
pose, some eighty feet from the
floor.
One of them was, so intent
upon his work that he became
wholly absorbed, and, in admir-
alton, stood off from the pic
ture, gazing at it with delight.
Forgetting where he was, he
moved backward slowly, sur
veying critically the work of
his pencil, until he neared the
very edge of the plank upon
which he stood.
At this critical moment his
companion turned suddenly,
almost frozen with horror, and
beheld his imminent peril an
other instant, and the inthusi-
asst would be precipitated upon
the pavement beneath if he
spoke to him, it would be GER
tain death-if he held bis
breath, death was equally sure
Suddenly, he regained his pres
ence of mind, and Selling wet
brush, flung it against the wall,
scattering the beautiful picture
with unsightly blotches of col
oring. The painter flew for
ward, and turned upon his
friend with fierce implications
but, startled at his CHASTITY face
he listened to the recital o
danger, looked suddenly owe
the dreadful space below, ant
I with tears of gratitude, blessed
the hand that saved him.
SO, saba preacher, we some
, times get absorbed in looking

Woman.

Is it not strange, after all the
Bible says of woman and wo-
men, that the poor substitute OF
ladies should be preferred by
many of the sex. "She shall be
called woman" is the very first
intimation that we have OF her
name.

Ruth, the queen Esther, and
| Elizabeth, the mother of John,
all as women. and she who was
the most exalted of all, Mary,
the mother of Jesus. If lady
had been q superior title, or
something equivalent to it, it
surely would have been confer
red upon her. True, she was
poor, the wife of a carpenter,
her babe was born in a manager,
yet the angels rejoiced, and the
morning stars sang together, as
she "a woman) held the child IN
| her arms.
Who bathed the Savior's feet
with her tears and followed
him TO the cross and tomb, and
received her first blessings OF
the risen lord? Woman. Ever
kind and compassionate, the
very name seems to breathe OF
love and alteration.

men were the mothers OF true
brave men. Our GRANDMOTHER
