The Cincinnati FOuntain---A Beautiful
Work of Art.

The fountain which has just been
erected in Cincinnati by Mr.. Henry
Probasco, public-spirited citizen of the
place, stands forty three feet above the
level OF the streets. The summit of the
work is formed by figure nine fe,t in
height representing the Genius of
Water. This figure faces to the east,
and from the hands, the arms being
outstretched, streams Of water are con
stantly poured. The pedestal rests on
the capital of a massive column. This
capital is eight feet in diameter, and
represents numerous water flowers. The
column is square. Around it, with their
heads far below the feet of the Genius,
stand forth groups of statuary, the
largest figures of which are eight feet
high. Beneath the right hand of the
Genius is colossal figure of farmer
invoking the blessing of rain upon a
tree that he has planted. Under her
left hand, man driven to the roof of
his burning house holds an empty buck
ct, and duplicates for the saving ele-
ment. On the east side is group re-
presenting a mother leading her child
to the bath. On the west side daugh-
ter gives her aged father a drink from
a goblet. These four groups represent
the use of water for life, for vegetation,
for healing. and for escape from fire.
There are four bronze basins, into which
the water flows from the hands of the
Genius, and overf1ows again through
orifces in the water-howers which COM
pose their borders into stone basin
thirty -eight feet wide, beneath. Below
the bronze basins, and below the four
great groups of statuary which we have
described, are four life-size figures. The
one on the southwest corner represents
a boy putting on his skates; at the
southeast is the nude figure of a girl
adjusting string of pearls around her
neck at the northeast corner naked
boy holds up lobster that he has just
caught and at the northeast angle the
nude figure of girl holds sea-shell to
her ear. Between these figures are four
panels likewise in bronze, covered with
sculptures in bas-relief All this bronze
work stands on black porphyry base,
composed of eight polished blocks, and
fixed in the midst of the great stone
basin. At the outside corners of this
basin are four ice water fountains.
The design of this fountain was made
by Mr.. Kreling, German painter and
sculptor, who is now the Director of the
Nuremberg Academy of Art. The bronze
was cast under the direction of Muel er,
of the royal foundry in Munich. The
porphyry and granite are from Bavaria.
The entire cost of the work to Mr.. Pro-
basco is over $4,000, while the city of
Cincinnati has spent about $4,000 upon
the esplanade on which it stands.

1 Wonder Why?

I wonder why this worlds good things
Should fall in such unequal shares
Why some should taste of all the joys,
And others only feel the cares
l wonder why the sunshine bright
Should fall in paths some people tread,
While others SILVER in the shade
Of clouds that gather overhead!
l wonder why the trees that hang
So full of luscious fruit should grow
Only where some may reach and eat
While others faint and thirsty go!
Why should sweet flowers bloom for some.
For others only thorns be found
, nd come grow rich on fruitful earth
While others till but barren ground
/ wonder why the hearts of some
0'erflow with joy and happiness.
While others go their lonely way,
Unblessed with aught of tenderness
| wonder why the eyes of some
Should ne'er be moistened with n tear,
While others weep from morn till night,
Their hearts so crushed with sorrow here!
All. we'll We may not know. indeed.
The why's, the wherefores of each life
But this we know-there's One who sees
And watches us through JOY or strife.
Each life its mission here fulfIls,
And only He may know the end;
And loving Him. we can be strong.
Though storm or sunshine He may send.
