source of much joy to the locals heart.
She last week took dose of strych-
nine which is likely to cause her DEATH

Two PICrUREs.-- Pictures themselves
have sometimes curious history. The
story Of the two pictures at Florence is
old, but not worn out. An artist at
Rome saw often playing in the street
near his window ii child of exquisite
beauty, with golden hair and cherub
face. Struck with the loveliness Of the
boy, he painted Il picture Of him and
hung it up in his studio. IL his saddest
hours that sweet gentle face looked
down upon him like an angel of light.
Its presence filled the soul with glad
ness and longings for heaven, which its
purity symbolized. ''If ever find"
Said he, ga perfect contrast to this beat:
teous face, will paint that also, and
hang 1t on the opposite wall, and the
one | shall call heaven and the other
hell"
Years passed. At length in another
part of Italy, in prison he visited,
looking in through tie grated door of a
cell, he saw the most hideous object
that ever met his sight--a fierce, hag-
gard fiend, with glaring eyes ard Cheeks
deeply marked with the lines OF lust and
crime. The artist remembered the
promise he had made himself, and i'm
mediately painted picture Of this
loathsome culprit to hang over against
dhe portrait of the lovely boy.
Tie contrast was perfect; the two
poles of the moral universe were before
him. Then the mystery of the human
soul gained another illustration. He
had two pictures, but they were like
l'esses OF one and the sape person. To
his great surprise, on inquiry into the
history of this horrid wretch, he learn
ed that he was no other than the sweet
child with golden ringlets whom he
once kneW 80 we'll, and saw 30 often
playing IN the streets of Rome.
