sleeping Love"

A fine steel engraving of Perault's
charming picture, Sleeping Love, has
been offered by the publishers of GoDEY's
IADY's Book to every new subscriber to
the magazine for the year 1885. The
plate is very artistic one, beautifully
printed on thick paper of size suitable
for handsome framing. The subject,
little dimpled Love, adorned with moth
ing but his baby charms, is lying on
soft grassy couch, fast asleep among the
wild flowers, his round white limbs ap-
preaching the cool umbrage of pond
of water lilies. One little chubby
hand rests lightly on his unstrnng bow,
which is lying under him, while the
other hand is softly pressed against his
cheek, the plump fingers threading the
wavy masses of his floating hair. Under
the right arm and shoulder one little
downy wing is snugly tucked away,
while the other peeps up from the back
with pretty suggestiyeness. Overhead
are dropping shadowy boughs Gov
cred with rich foliage, and the back
ground reveals a deep perspective
of cool forest shade. The picture is one
of striking simplicity, yet admirable
composition, and the figure of the Sleep
inc Love himself, with dropping
eyelids and softly parted lips that
Offset the rounded beauty of baby hood,
Is one of the prettiest You could well
conceive of. Messrs. J. II. Hanlenbeek

Book, have produced this charming pic

mired by some of the most fastidious

IN MEMORIAM.

Judge ROBERT B, MAYEs, son of the late Daniel
Mayes of Kentucky, died after gradual decline
at his home near Gazoo City, Miss, on the night OF
November 3d. 1884.
Though a man of brilliant intellect he achieved
great Tenown in this word, for the world loves
its own and he not of the world, but one OF
those TO whom the Saviour said, Learn of me, for
am meek and lowly of heart He learned of
Jesus, and tried to abide in Him, thus becoming
greater than the wearer of any earthly diadem, OF
any master OF science who did not, like him, draw
near 10 the Giver of righteousness.
On the morning Of the 30 he said, 81 have always
loved God, and | trust everything to Jesus" This
accounts for his life, Christ-like one, in which he
made as much as a mere human being could, COM
pete sacrifice of self, and forgave, he would be
forgiven. With him abode always, faith, hope and
charity; he had above all charity. His charity was
without flaw He could see no fault in those who
were in want-all his mercifu eye could see was
that they needed him. His charity not only
one that gave, but equally that forgave His
heart too gentle to bear rancor against those
who mistreated him He had, in a large degree
Gods supreme gift of forgiveness. For years his
health feeble, but while his outward man per-
ished, his inward man renewed day by day
Truly he seemed to grow spiritually. His path was
the path OF the just, which shineth more and
more. How often did our hearts burn within
he opened unto the scriptures and we felt, come
life, come death, will be obedient unto the Lord
Ii was blessing to know him. Many prophets and
righteous men desired to the days of Christ, and
in these days might many desire to know this
blessed one, that they might see how noble and
beautiful thing it is, to live Christian life.

What a Mexican Found Under His
Kitchen.

Lie. Bernardo de la Tore, living at
Durango, made a singular discovery
recently. In his kitchen, in the corner
where the water barrel stood, he
oticed that the floor sank in consider
ably. He had the barrel removed and
excavations made. A little distance
down he encountered a great paving
stone, that when taken away disclosed
a shaft. The mysterious always binds
a strong chain, and it did in this case.
It drew Tore irresistibly toward the
shaft. and he determined to investl-
gate. He ordered Julian, his confiden-
fial servant, to lower himself into the
shaft. Julian was afraid, and refused
to 90. Finally a man volunteered,
and, with lantern in his hand was
lowered with rope to the bottom. At
one side of the shaft he found an old
door of oak, worm-eaten and Scared
with time. With the exertion Of all his
strength the door slowly swung IN, It's
rusty hinges creaking as if in remon-
STRANGE to the sacrilege. 1t was the
entrance of a CHASTITY mausoleum. 10
the center of large room, whose walls
were damp and NOISY, was a long
table with the skeleton of an old man
stretched upon it, and an open book IN
ancient Spanish lying close by. The
discoverer fed from the room, and Mr.
Tore lost no time in having the hole
closed again with the paving stone
