A Beautiful Figure.

Two painters were employed to fresco
the walls of magnificent cathedral /;
both stood on a rude scaffolding con-
structed for the purpose, some eighty
feet from the floor. One of them was
so intent upon his work that he be
came absorbed, and in admiration stood
off from the picture, gazing at 1t with
delight. Forgetting where he, was he
moved backward slowly, surveying
critically the work of his pencil, until
he had neared the end of the plank
upon which he stood. At this critical
moment his scompanion turned suddenly
and, almost frozen with horror, beheld
his imminent peril /; another instant
and the enthusiast would be precipita-
ted upon the pavement beneath If he
spoke to him IT was certain death-lf
he held his peace death was equally sure.
Suddenly he regained his presence of
mind, and seizing a wet brush. flung it
against the wall, splattering the beautl-
full picture with unsightly blotches of
color. The painter flew forward, and
turned upon his friend with fierce I'M
precautions but, startled at his CHASTITY
face, he listened to the recital of the
danger, looked suddenly over the dread
space below, and with tears OF graft
tude blessed the hand that saved him.
So we sometimes get absorbed in look
ing upon the pictures of his world,
and, in contemplating them, step back
ward, unconscious of our peril when
the Almighty dashes out the beautiful
images, and we spring forward to Ia
ment their destruction-into the out
stretched arms of mercy, and are saved.

MISCELLANY.
Lady KiessingtOn.

A writer in the Chicago Tribune
says: Lady Blessington, like Nine.
Recamier, was an acknowledged queen
of society. But now, after the dazzle
and glitter of her fame has faded to a
memory, it is plainly seen that not even
in remote degree was her position
like Margaret Fuller's or Nine. De
Stael's-a purely intellectual one.
There can be little doubt that she might
have exerted every influence of her ap-
parent wealth, and every power of her
intellect. and yet, had she been less
favored by nature than she was with
charms that catch the fancies of men,
might have striven in vain for the
honors she bore so well. She had q
keenly perceptive intelligence, which,
when it went cleaning in the fields of
art and literature, never failed to espy
the richest grain that would garner
well, to feed after conversations. Her
mind was entirely objective in its
character. Not in the least subjective.
1t laid hold upon the outer world with
faculties that gathered and brought
home their gain to make her intelligence
brilliant but superficial, to make her
conversation more descriptive, quota
tive and emotionally critical rather than
dispassionately analytical and trans
pareQtly profound. She had no vision
of the mysteries of mind and soul that
battle and perple1 the thinkers con-
sciousness. The sight was seldom or
not at all introverted. She lived to
grow as a morning glory grows, to beau
tiful blossoms and lu1uriant foliage,
but with little root into the deep soil
of thought. She was wonderfully gifted
in expression, both of speech and per-
son, so that the idea which a less at
tractive woman, uttering In no more
barren phrase, would seem but a scanty
addition to the conversation, came from
her with all the pomp and glory of an
assured triumph. She of course was
never original; her ideas were the
thoughts that are the worlds universal
own, rehaoilitated in the SNOWY Bless
ington livery, and sent forth to enhance
the Blessington reputation. In reading
her life and letters. one always has the
impression that she poses always for
dramatic effect, even in her private cor
respondence that she always wrote
huu idlhou, uOt l1oln Vic oNciuoW oi
her own nature, but pertinaciously up
to the standard of social and worldly
appreciation. Her literary reputation
was made at a time when there were
fewer feminine competitors for fame
than now, and was nourished upon
diet of snowy Annuals, such as the
reading public of to day would reject
as the most insipid of literary cruel.
Her tales and novels probably are never
read by the present army of hght-litera-
ture readers, and would not find pub
Usher were they hawked from one
Office to another all over the country.
Her beauty, her mental brilliancy, her
rare expressional grace, and her supreme
ambition to be the bright focus point
of the intellectual rays of society made
her house fashionable"

Novelties In Flowers.

Two novelties among flowers have
been discovered. so rare and wonderful
that we are almost tempted to treat
them as fables until their verify is
established by our own vision. One is
q black lily in Santa Clara, California,
with three large blossoms, each nine
inches long. and perfectly black out
side of the green petals. The other is
to be seen at Constantinople, and de-
scribed by an eyewitness as belonging
to the narcissus genus of bulbs. The
flower represents . perfect humming
bird The breast, of bright emerald
green. Is q complete copy Of this bird,
and the throat, head, beak and eyes are
q perfect imitation. The hinder part
of the body and the two outstretched
wings, are Of Q bright rose color, one
might almost say flesh colored. These
wondrous bulbs should have been sent
to the Vienna exhibition. They will
be in abundance by the time Of our
Centennial Celebration in 1876. And
yet they can hardly be greater curiosi-
ties than the strange and mysterious
"Sancta Spiritu"" flower from South
America, with its hfe-iike representa-
ton of doves. -Horficulturist.

Eve Killed somerhiag.

/ tremble to think that / may have
crushed, or cruelty broken, or killed
something to-day in the haste and
hurry of pushing through the world
with a selfish indifference to every one.
Down in somebody's heart there
might have been delicate bud strug-
Cling to find expansion into a flower of
rare sweetness, and | tremble to think
that / may have killed that heavenly
nurtured gem that needed but one
genial ray of kindness, one CLEAN of
sunlight to perfect the grand and sym
metrical blossom no eye but Gods had
ever seen.
l may have killed the one redeeming
sentiment of yearning for heaven,
crushed the one last hope of a spirit
that had battled long and bravely with
opposing influences, and that to-day
decided by my look, or tone, or word To
yield all, lose all, give up all. and
accept ruin without another deathless
appeal. ...a.. -.-
Oh, the one word, when that spirit
was fainting, that heart breaking,
would have saved the death of some
thing God loved.
One helpful smile, one noble deed,
one trusting assurance would have
revivitied that dropping spirit that
carried the germ of untold glory and
gladness, had not L tramDled it in the
dust under my naughty tread.
No silken canopy covered the form
whose heart was dying or 1 might have
hurried to its rescue; no grand and
imposing presence bringing the pres
tige of wealth and power appealed to
me, or l might nave fastened with
astonishing swiftness to have revived
the expiring CLEAN of a life God
designed Inc to save.
The dead men and women who walk
beside US to-day are not marked for
life by Gods design, but by your dis
regard, and my disregard of the code
of honor and our total indifference to
right, ana our willful reluctance to do
unto others as we would that they
should do unto us.
Do we estimate the intense meaning
of killing something in human soul

Men and women go to destruction by

Gufran-s ElOQuence.

The famous Curran had sensitive
ness in public speaking which often
hindered his success. He was painfully
affected by any mark of inattention in
his audience. If any one were sleeping,
or gazing vacantly about the court, his
elOQuence began to flag. and much of
his power was lost. This fact became
80 well known at last that some of the
eminent advocates opposed to him re-
sorted to unworthy tricks to help their
clients. If they saw that Currau was
particularly eloquent, and was carrying
the jury with him, they would hire
some man to go into the court, and,
sitting near Curran, to show signs Of
WEAKNESS by visible and loud yawninR.
The stratagem rarely failed of success.
1t is said, "The eloquent spirit would
drOop its wing and forsake him; he
would falter, forget the thread of his
and bring his peroratiOn to an
abrupt and unsatisfactory conclusion"

General Wilson relates an account of
a conversation with Mr.. Curtis, from
which he obtained some interesting
personal "reminiscences of Washington.
"During a visit at Arlington House,
Virginia, in 1854, the writer asked Mr..
Curtis if Washington could, like Mar
shall SAKE, break q horseshoe, and re-
ceived for a reply that he had no doubt
he could had he tried, for his hands
were the largest and most powerful he
had ever seen. Mr.. Curtis then gave
several instances of the Generals
strength, of which l recall the follow
ing: When Washington was young
man, he was present on one occasion,
as locker on, at wrestliDg games, then
the fashion in Virginia. Tired of the
sport, he had retired to the shade of a
tree, where he sat perusing pamphlet,
till challenged to q bout by the hero of
the day and the strongest wrestler in
the State.-WashingtOn declined till
taunted with the remark that he feared
calmly came forward and without re-
moving his coat. grappled with his
antagonist. There was fierce struggle
for a brief space of time, when the
cham piOn was hurled to the ground
with such tremendous force as to jar
the very marrow in his bones. Another
instance of his prodigiOus power was
his throwing the stone across the Rap
pahannOck, at Fredericksburg-a feat
that has never been performed since.
Later in life number of young gen.
tleman were cOntending at Mount
Vernon in the exercise of throwing the
bar.-Washington, after looking on for
some time, walked forward, saying.
"Allow me to try" and grasping the
bar sent the iron flying through the air
twenty feet beyond its former limits.
Still later in his career, Washington,
whose age was like a lusty winter,
frosty, yet kindly observed three of
his wOrkmen at Mount Vernon, vainly
endeavOring to raise a large stone,
when, tired of witnessing their unsuc-
cessful attempts, he put them aside,
and taking it in his iron like grasp,
lifted it to its place, remOunted his
horse, and rode on"
