The SPANISH ARTIST AND THE LAST
SUPPER.-A Spanish artist was once
employed to paint the 'Last Supper. ;"
1t was his object to throw all the
sublimity of his art into the figure and
countensnce of the Lord Jesus but he
put on the table in the foreground some
chased cups, the workmanship of which
was exceedingly beautiful. When his
friends came to see the picture on the
easel, every one said, "What beautiful
cups" ''Ah," said he, 81 have made
mistake these cups divert the eyes
of the spectator from the Lord, to whom
1 wish to direct the attention of the
observer" And he forthwith took up
his brush and blotted them from the
canvas, that the strength and vigor of
the chief object might be prominently
seen and observed.
Thus all Christians should feel their
great study to be Christ's exaltation ;
and whatever is calculated to hinder
man from beholding Him, in all the
glory of His person and work, should
be removed out of the wayl "God
forbid that 1 should glory, save in the
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" Let
the sentiment of Paul be ours.

THERE is a man herding cows on a
great open square in front of my win
dows. He seems to have an easy time
OF it, so far as I can judge, lying COM
fortably on the green grass, while his
great shepherd dog sits beside him alert
and vigilant. If a COW strsys toward
the edge of the green. the drover points
with his finger, and the dog dsshes
away, circles around the vagraht and
brings her back. 1 admire the great
shaggy fellow. He seems to me to have
fully as much intelligence 81 his mas
ter, if one may Judge from the express
sion of his face. But then 1 remember
that it is hardly safe to Judge by looks
alone. There is kind of monkey, the
dOg-faced ba5oon, with such q solemn
countenance that the old Egyptians felt
sure that he was possessed of mysteri-
GUS wisdom and worshiped him accord
ingly. When they made images of their
gods they always represented the gods
of learning and science by the image of
this baboon. However 1 have known
other folks than monkeys to look much
wiser than they were. There goes big
white COW straight for the bridge. The
drover smokes sleepily, but the dog is
all in culver. He arches his long
fringed ears, turns uneasily towards his
master, whines little, and then is away
over the thick green turf like the wind.
The COW sees him coming, turns lei
surely and goes on eating as if she never
had thought of crossing that bridge,
and the dog comes trotting back with
an air of satisfaction in having done his
duty.

LOVE OF THE BEAUTIFUL.-Place a
young girl under the care of kind
hearted graceful woman. and she, un-
consciously TO herself, grows into a
graceful lady. Place boy in the es-
tablishment of a thorough-going,
straight forward business man, and the
boy becomes a self-reliant, practical
business man. Children are susceptible
creatures, and circumstances, and
scenes, and actions always impress. As
you influence them, not by arbitrary
rules, nor by stern example alone, but
in thousand other ways that speak
through beautiful forms, pretty pic
lures, &c, so they will grow. Teach
your children, then, to love the beauti-
full. If you are able, give them a
corner in the garden for flowers allow
them to have their favorite trees teach
them to wander in the prettiest wood
lets show them where they can best
view the sunset rouse them in the
morning, not by the stern Time to
work, but with the enthusiastic "See
the beautiful sunrise !" Buy for them
pretty pictures, and encourage them to
decorate their room in his or her child
ish way. Give them an inch and they
will go mile. Allow them the privilege
and they will make your home pleasant
and beautiful.

He went. For two days he tramped

He had tried again and again to find

the same helplessness of ignorance was

GOSHEN. N. Y, June II. 1874
Although rain fell until two O'Clock and threat
ening clouds filed the sky the entire afternoon
the second day OF the Spring Meeting at Goshen
Park passed or very satisfactorily. The attend
ance was not SO numerous as on Wednesday,

being purse OF $500, for horses that never beat
$40; mile heats, best three in i've, In har-
ness, $500 to first, 5000 to the second
and 500 to the third horse-fOr which
seven responded out OF nine entries Acker-
man h Van Urden's brown stallion amperion
was the favorte before the start at the average
OF SIS to $40 against the field. He won the first
and second heats after earnest struggles, when he
was lett out OF the pools, and the bay mare Bessie
B. was sold for second choice at even money. W.
G. Trimble's brown mare Zephyr came to the
'front.' IN the third heat, and, beating the stallion
by half length, changed the complexion OF mat
tiers very materially. The fourth heat was also
credited to Zephyr, although Hamperion beat her
out short half length; but the judges changed the
positions owing to the driver OF the stallion CROSS
ing the mare on the turn. HamperiOn and Zephyr
now brought equal sums In the pools The stallion
got away first In the NTH heat and was never
headed, winning the race; Zephyr took second
premium and Lady Enfield third money.
The second race was for . purse OF 1000, for
horses that never beat 225; $500 to the first. $500
to the second and 500 to the third or Jour en-
tries. Barney Kelly, Joker and Crown Prince came
for the word. Joker sold for first choice before
the start, $50 to $40 over .he field. Grown Prince
won the first and second heats with ease, when he
became the favorite at long odds. Joker chal-
lenged the white gelding in the third heat and
race. Much money changed hands on this result.
The third contest was for purse OF $500, be-
tween the runners Gerald sorrel Colt, Little Jim
and Lady washington. Gerald was great favor
lite before the start The Sorrel Colt won the first
heat, aided by the assistance Of Andy Fitzgerald,
the jockey OF Gerald who pushed Lady Washington
TO the outside oil the track all the way round, and
for this foul riding, Gerald was distanced, which
decision everybody but his owner and hackers
applauded. Lady Washington then went OH, and.
