abolish the tax on mortgages as a relief
to all investments in real estate. This,
by the way, is one of the most grevious
taxes in the city. 1t is peculiarly op-
pressive to real estate owners at the
present crisis, when they cannot afford
to have their burdens added to.

Two of the most celebrated artists the
world has ever known dwelt in the same
city. One delighted in delineating beauty
in all its graces of tint, form and motion.
His portraits were instinct with the charm
of physical vigor. The graceful, half-vo-
luptuous outline Of form and feature har-
monized with delicately blended tints. On
his canvas, the homliest faces had an al
most irresistible charm. The other found
pleasure only in depicting weird and
gloomy subjects. Above ali did he excel
IN painting the portraits of the dying.
The agonizng death thrOe, the CHASTITY
face and form, We're all depicted with mar
velous fidelity There exists between these
artists the most intense dislike. Atlength
this dislike eliminated. The beauty loving
artist had been engaged in painting the
portrait of II beautiful woman. Connis-
seurs pronounced it the most wonderful
piece of art that had ever been produced.
Ills brother artist was Jealous of his fame
and sought revenge. by bribing the keep.
er of the studio he gained access TO the
picture each night. AT first he was con-
tent to only deaden the brilliancy of the
complexion and eyes, eface the bloom
from check and lip and paint shadow on
either cheek Later, his stokes grew bold
er and freer, and one morning the artist
awoke to find the entire outline of the por-
trait changed. He could scarcely recog-
nize in the emanciated form and haggard
countenance the glowing conception he
had embodied. The paid face ard express
sionless eyes he had attributed to IL lack Of
genuiness in his material; but when the
outlines were changed he suspected the
cause and Indignantly dismissed the keep.

The lecture on Rembrandt by Rev
Spencer Marsh last evening WAS we'll at
tended and was one of great interest to tho
audience. Born in 1903, dying in 1869
the great Dutch painter used the years be
tween those events us busily as Il thorough
worker ever does. Working in his owl
way and according to his own notions
rather than initiating and largely forSak
ing the beautiful for the truthful. Rem
brandt made himself one of the grea

his subjects and methods have failed to re
move him from his self-attained position.
The lecture was scholarly analysis o

The Third Lecture Of The Seminary Course.

The Third Lecture of the Seminary Course.
The lecture was introduced by Prof.
Soulhworth, and Prof. Robinson gave a
prelude in few remarks upon tho differ.
ences in the nature of individuals.
Truth and error are ever arrayed in
active conflict and tho entire world is d.
vided in this deadly battle, and not only is
this world interested, but the universe of
intelligence look on and hid in the struggle
Truth is manifest in the world, in all its
revelations from Sinai and Calvary to the
everyday phenomena.
Though Darwin and Huxley may raise
phantOms and dream of shadows, yet truth
remains beautiful in its symmetry, grace
full in its loneliness. Nature is never a
cheat, but always presents truth in all her
wonders, and as nature is the thought OF
the Infinite, so man is complete as he
loves the truth. Truth is not disconnect-
ed and disjointed, but throughout the uni
verse presents one harmonious and perfect
body.
Error comes under u myraid hideous
forms, and imposes upon us by its counter
felt of truth. SANDER with its aspen tongue,
sticks the sure poison in the noblest char
acter,and gossip, her swift winged messen-
ger, taints the atmosphere with the fungi
OF evil. Earth groans beneath the calum-
NOUS weight and takes II sigh Of relief
when death stops one of the willing
motors. FIattery follows, and covers with
loathsome shame the weakling who allows
its approach, and error needs new disguise
before it will please and be praised.
But man may be true and honored, and
with supreme trust in God and faithful
ness to himself, life will be the opening of
truth and the ushering in of lasting noon
day glories.
The people of Montpelier and Berlin
should not miss more of these lectures for
the remaining speakers will be equal to
any given thus fur. We understand that
it is expected that the next entertainment
will be Il reading by Prof Richardson of
Syracuse University, N. Y.,who is consl-
cred one Of the best elocutionists in that
State, usually giving readings each winter
to crowded houses in New York City.
