OF all the efforts that have previously
been made for portraying portraits Of
our Savior, none has ever received
such universal appreciation Us that
which the above beautiful picture COM
mands. "I nm tho true vine, aud my
Father is tho husbandman," arc the
words upon which tho sublime subject
is allegoricGlly approached. Our blessed
Lori is represented in the engraving
demonstrating tho truth Of this holy
Word, aud seeking for examples to illus
trate His parallels from the bonntiful
gifts OF beautcous nature which sur
round him. Eucircled by vine, His
right hand grasps a ten1ril Of the plant,
while the left is outstretched in the act
Of illustration.
The artist Inns depicted with master
hand the overlooking look Of ineflable
and ycarning love upon tho Divine
countenauce, surrounded by the Heay-
enly halo. The vine on the left Of our
Lord, has mn nx cleft in the root thereof,
symbolical OF the words Of John the
Baptist in Matt. iii, yer. 10: "And now
also the ax is laid unto the root Of the
tree, therefore every tree which bringcth
not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire." Thus the anthcsis Of
the picture is given. Our Lord holding
in His right hand the growing, or true
vine, unto which Ho likens Himself,
while on the other hand is Swallowed
forth the destruction Of the stree
which bearcth not good fruit" In the
background the short twilight OF MI
Eastern evening is descending upon
the mountains, at the foot of which
grow spreading palms and other orien.
tal trees.
None can look upon this picture with.
ont taking to heart the lesson inculcatei
by tho Divine Teacher, which is illus
trateil in so soft and beautiful n manner
by the present subject.

The Russian Cavalry.

A Russian cavalry brigade recently
passed through Bucharest. A regiment
Of hussars was led by young Russiall
LADY wearing the full uniform of the
regiment and mounted OIL q magnificent
charger. 1t was the Princess Demidoff,
daughter OF the honorary colonel and
proprietor OF the regiment, who spends
$40, 900 year upon it. No crack Rus-
sian cavalry is so well mounted, tho
horses averaging sixteen hands, compris-
ing chestnutS, whites, browns and buys
respectively. The squRlrons have OK
tremoly powerful aniinnls. The mon
are llncommOnly heavy for hussqrs, but
arc very fine regiment. Tho Don Cos.
sacks made an especial impression on the
fair spectators by reason Of the extraordi-
nary good looks Of the men, who are
mostly fair, have classically regular fen
lures and fine athletic figures. They
have tho quaintest imaginable wild
music, consisting only Of cymbals md
bird whistles, accompanying o choir Of
about tlIirty.hve singers chanting sad,
unreasonable airs, but in good tune aud
harmony. The Cossacks mount mere
ponies, but these animals are rs hard as
iron, quick-pacel and tamo rs cats,
though only ridden with single bride.

An Audience OF One.

Quite " number Of singular things
have occurred III Bucyrls, O., and We
have the following to offer rs one of
them: Several years ago the Fosters OF
Pittsburgh were holding theatrical en-
tcrtainnents there, and during their stay
novel incident occurred. Mr.. Foster
was sitting in the hotel ruminAting in
all probability upon tho full house lie

entered the room with bill for the eve
ming performance in his hand. care

W. s.. ~ nm, sir, replied Foster.
"You are to play Richard III to.
night2" eyes, SIR" "Well, I am and
always have been fond Of theatricals, but
never Ind m opportunity of seeing
Richard III" Every well, sir, come
tonight" Unfortunately, I must go
to Columbus tonight on the G.45 train.
Now, how much money would induce
your company to play Richard III. for
me this aftcrnoon?" Foster, thinking
for n moment, replied that he would do
it for S25.. "And what would You charge
extra for the Rough Diamonds? Eos.
ter replied $40. 10 his surprise W.
s. counted out s35, and passed it
over with the remark that he wanted the
performance to commence at two o'clock
sharp. Foster got the company together
and related the circumstance. The itlca
Of playing " Richard " to an audience Of
ono was excessively ridiculous, and 50
new III their experience TINT they MI con-
Sented, Two o'clock came and W. s.
was on hand. Choosing an eligible po-
sition and cooking his feet upon the back
Of the scat in front of him he waited for
the performance to begin. The bell
ring, up went the curtain and the play
commenced. Never did the actors do
better. They MI exertcd themselves to
give their patron nm entertainment fully
worth tho price paid for it, and they
succeeded. W. applauded vigor-
ously ut different points, and ut times
demanding repetition. At tho close of
the play, Orchard Ill.," Mr.. Joseph
I. Fannin camc before tho curtain and
responded in neat little speech. A
dance and song followed, after which
the farce of the "Rough Diamond :" was
played. ". s. laughed, roarcd and
applaltied, and left in time to take the
G.45 train.
