.Thc Christ" of Hiram Powers

Il
Among the not infrequent attempts to
realize the loftiest conception of which
the mind is capable-that of Our Sa-
yior's face--the Christ Of Hiram Powers
deserves high rank. 1t is as much SUI
perior to that of Michael Angelo in the
church of Santa Maria Sopra Minerua
at Rome, as the nineteenth is better
than the fifteenth century, and need not
shrink even before the radiant fame of
Thorwaldsen S, at Copenhagen. Among
his later, it is evidently one of the sculp-
tors favorite works. Looking at it, he
said musingly:

His two-fold character, as Being no
less great than good In the celebrated
pictures Of European galleries he is

thought, not often impressive by the

know, He spake as never man spake.
He laid down principles to govern
human life that have been the marvel of
all succeeding ages, for they were the
loftiest and purest ever breathed from
human lips. You doubtless remember

Thomas j. Bostwick writes in the Troy
Times: A gray parrot, with whom W.
had the pleasure Of an acquaintance
some years ago, learned to repeat seye
raj couplets of sentimental poem, anG
having been taught to pronounce then
in a sentimental drawl and kind o
maudKn tone, could, of course, repeat
them in no other way. When, after 6
long course Of private instruction, he was
brought out for exhibition, roars o.
laughter followed his recitation. The
effect, in fact, was irresistible; but fiat
terry spoiled him. Hearing nothing but
laughter in response to his oracular ut
teranees, he shortly began to laugh him.

else that his poetical memories soon
vanished altogether. We read of an
other gray specimen who could sing the
first line &c 90, Mamie, wilt thou gang
with me?" not only pronouncing the
words. but screaming the tune with a
disorderly, eomical kind Of correctness.
He was in the habit of exhibiting at a
drawingroom window at a fashionable
watering place, and generally concluded
his short solo with the words, rather an
orily pronounced, :" Go on, good people
-go on, good people" " addressed to the
crowd who stopped to hear. u ,a. y
Occasionally parrots acquire phrase
ologv of a vulgar or devout nature, and
ameear somewhat irreverent to short
sighted critics. OF course they simply
repeat phrases they have picked up here
and there, without wicked medltations,
though such expressions undoubtedly
shock the ear, owing principally, per-
hans. TO their comical association. f
The Rev. L. 0. Morris relates: A par
rot belonging to some friends of mine
was generally taken out OF the room
when the family assembled for prayers,
for fear lest be might take It into his
head to join irreveEently in the re-

presence happened to be unnotioad, and

time he maintained decorous silence,
but at length, instead of Amen, out
he came with Cheer, boys, cheer. On
this the butler was directed to remove
him, and had got as far as the door with
him, when the bird, perhaps thinking
that he had committed himself, aud had

Summer Management of Horses.

horses a treat by turning them out to grass
have worked my horses hard, say they, and
they need a summers run. 1t will rest their
legs and feet; besides, green food Is the nat
ural prOvender for horses, and they will en-
JOY a lew months rest at grass and be all
the better for it. 1t Is all very well for the

horses requiring rest, and whose owners turn

Is not TO be had in the pasture. In the sim
pie process of gathering his food the horse
walks many miles during the twenty lOL T
hours if the pasture be bare, and the sam
pro ;ess obliges him to throw extra weight on

intention of the owner to = rest" Besides
IN the summer months witness the poor
