A Modern st. Anthony.

No picture ever limned by Morelli has created
the sensation produced by his Temptation of
st. Anthony" which, on its exhibition at Turin
and Paris, was for weeks the talk of the aesthetic
town. 1t is picture marvellous in composition,
deep, complicated and at first almost incompre-
hensible in conception. What is so subtle, so
original, and, if / may express it, SO modern
in Morellis treatment of TINS by 20 means I'M
hackneyed theme of tie temptation of the
founder of monasticism, is that the temptation
arises from within the mans own breast,
and is not brought to him from with
out. The temptations suffered by St. Anthony
were the halucinations of his own imagination,
aroused in him by abstinence and privation from
all the joys of the flesh. Anthony, we read in
the legend, was assaulted often by the demon,
with whom he did fierce battle Thus was it
named in mediaval days We of the nineteenth
century read in his story allegory of how
nature avenges the doctrinces that err against
her laws. and it has been given to an artist of
fervld imagination, born into positive age, to
retell the tale to our modern comprehension
The phantasms of this monk are like to the
famous dream of Don Rodrigo in Manzoni's
Immortal book. that which Lady Macbeth
names 1.-THE very painting of your fear.r

Goods Gin.n

From off my life all the shadows lifted
And DER its sky the spanning bow is bent.
Where erst the clouds in bowing masses drfted
And gloamed the way went.
My purblind eyes not the golden glory
That from the sky summer landscapes fell;
And blooming flowers told to my heart no story
Save rue and asphodel
No giadness for the life that l was living
Found voice in words framed by my frosty lips:
saw no good of the All Gver's giving
Save only. deaths eclipse
YET while CROPPED where doubt and darkness fingers
saw a cleaning hand reach through the night,
And felt the welcome warmth of clasping fingers
That led me into light
And my new life this guiding hand is leading
Where fronded palms the summer breezes fret;
And my feet, once tired and bruised and bleed
ing,
In garden aisles are set.
am not worthy, o, All Guiding Father
Who so blind of sight and trust in Thee.
That round about my errng life should gather
The joys Thou givest me-
But Thy kind hand hath lifted every sadness
That held ME in their circling cinctures bound:
And through thy gift wear golden gadness
With which my life is crowned

IF am thine and thou art mine,
What odds if thou smile not to-day?
If thou 'rt not mine nor not thine,
What boots it tho thou smile Away?
Or eer was born Times blushing morn
Twas writ the way our paths should lie;
My heart forlorn thy frown doth warn
Vainly as thou thy fate would st fly.
The world is wide, yet to thy side
My feet lead up thro' devious ways;
What e'er betide, pray thee let bide
In peace, or fair or foul the days.
And if it be that thou for me
Shall bless the passing of the years;
And for thee shield shall be
To fend from thee ife's quav'ring fears;
Then time shall gain its sweetest strain;
The spheres new-tune their gladdest lay;
With joyous mien the seraphs deign
To greet earth's late-born perfect day.
But if malign or i'll design
Rob me of that my joy should be,
/ wait; for mine shall still be mine

Hawthorne and Emerson.

In Mrs. Hawthorne's letters to her
mother there is O sketch of her hus-
bands ways which is too good not to be
quoted. She says: "Mr Hawthorne's
abomination of visiting still holds
strong, be it to see no matter what
angel. But he is very hospitable, and
receives strangers with great loveliness
and graciousness. Mr. Emerson says
his way is regal, like Prince or Gen
eral, even when at table he hands the
the bread. Elizabeth Hoar remarked
that, though his shyness was very evi-
dent, yet she liked his manner, because
he always faced the occasion like q
man when it came to the point. OF
what moment will it be, thousand
years hence, whether he saw this or
that person? Ii he had the gift of
speech like some others-Mr. Emerson,
for instance--it would be different, but
he was not born to mix in general So
ciety. His vocation is to observe, and
not to be observed. Mr. Emerson de-
lights in him; he talks to him all the
time, and Mr.. Hawthorne looks an
swers. He seems to fascinate Mr.. En-
erson. Whenever lie comes to see
ulIu no IdheS ulIil AWAY, so tHh1 bo one
may interrupt him in his close and
dead-set attack upon his ear. Miss
Hoar saws that persons about Mr.. En-
erson SO generally echo him that it is
refreshing to him to find this perfect
individual, all himself and nobody else.
He loves power as little as anybody I
ever knew, and it is never a question
OF private will between rs, but of alb
solute right. His conscience is too fine
and high to permit him to be arbitrary.
His will is strong, but not to govern
others. He is so simple, SO transparent,
so just 80 tender, so magnanimous,
that my highest instinct could only
correspond with his will. / never knew
such delicacy of nature. His panoply
of reserve is providential shield and
breastplate. can testify to it now as
1 could not before. He is completely
pure from earthliness. He is under the
dominion of his intellect and senti-
ments. Was ever such a union Of
power and gentleness, softness and
spirit, passion and reason? i think it
must be partly smiles of angels that
make the air and light so pleasant here. !"

the cold, scornful glance Of Augustine
Powers. He staggered back . moment,
then stepped forward, and would have
hurried past her, but she stood in the
doorway and prevented his passage.
Then summoning all her courage. and
with look of infinite disdain, she took
him by the coat sleeve and led him to
the bedside of the dying girl. All
through this scene the occupant of tho
room, who was none other than tho un-
fortunate Mary, gazed vacantly around
as il bewildered by what had transpired.
Then, as if suddenly recalling her
senses, she seemed to compre
hend the question Miss Powers
was about to ask. mo, no! my dear
Miss Powers, this is not the
man / spoke OF. He never treated me
unkindly. Did you, William? You
would never desert your little Mary.
You said so, William?" She was evil
IDENTIFY fast failing. william" she
murmured, holding out her thin white
hand toward him, "they shall never say
that you deceived me. He would never
deceive me-" She grasped has hand
tightly, and added, in half broken
whispers: Il hope God will forgive me
for all the wrong have done. Heaven
bless you, William" These we're the
last words she uttered. In few sec
onds she was corpse. For moment
all remained quiet as the grave. Then,
as If moved by sudden impulse, Far
low made one dash for the door, and
ran hastily down stairs and into the
street.
The Powers family never saw him af-
ter that night. Through his attorney
he withdrew>his interest in the firm of
Powers, Farlow & Co., and it was un-
derstood that he had gone abroad. Miss
Powers, after making provision, as well
as her condition would allow. for the
burial of her dead friend, was taken
with q severe fit of illness which lasted
many months, and, the physicians say,
was caused by extreme nervousness.
Many years after might have been
seen, in one of the daily papers. the no.
tice of the marriage of Augustine Pow
ers, daughter of Schuyler Powers, to
James Waltser, of the firm of Powers,

The Sums SuDDly.

From an article on "The Suns Ener-
gy," by S. p. Langly, in the Century.
we quote the following: "How is the
heat maintained? Not by the myracle
of a perpetual self-sustained flame, we
may be sure. But, then. by what fuel
is such fed? There can be no question
of simple burning, like that of coal in
the CRATE. for there is no source of sup
ply adequate to the demand. The State
of Pennsylvania, for instance, is under
laid by one of the richest coal fields of
the world, capable of supplying the
consumption Of the whole country at
its present rate for more than a thou
sand years to come. If the source of
the solar heat (whatever that is) were
withdrawn, and we were enabled to
carry this coal there and shoot it into
the solar furnace fast enough to keep
up the known heat supply, so that the
radiation would go on at just its actual
rate, the time which this coal would
last is easily calculable. 1t would not
last days or hours, but the whole of
these coal beds would demonstrably be
used up in rather less than one-thou-
sandth of q second! We find by SIM
liar calculation that if the sun were
itself one solid block of coal, it would
have burned out to the last cinder in
less time than man has certainly been
on the earth. But during historic
times there has as surely been no no.
ticeable diminution of the suns heat,
for the olive and the vine grow just as
they did 5000 years ago, and the hy-
pothesis of an actual burning becomes
untenable. 1t has been supposed by
some that meteors striking the solar
surface might generate heat by their
impact, just as q cannon ball fired
against an armor plate causes flash
of light, and heat so sudden and in
tense as to partially melt the ball at
the instant of concussion. This is
probably a real source of heat supply
as far as il goes, but it cannot go very
far; and, indeed, il our whole world
should fall upon the solar surface like
an immense projectile, gathering speed
as it fell, and finally striking Gas it
would) with the force due to rate of
over three hundred miles q second, the
heat developed would supply the sun
for but little more than sixty years."

A the meeting opened there was
strong smell Of burning meat in the
hall, and the echoes OF the triangle had
scarcely died away when Elder Toots
made . break for the door in way to
upset half dozen different members,
and bring down another large piece of
plaster from the ceiling. He had gone
to sleep with his foot on the hot stove
to thaw out the chilblains. They had
thawed, and the heat had worked down
through five years layers of cement
and got at the real flesh. When the
excitement had been allayed, and the
keeper of the outer door had reported
that the Elder was down in the alley
with both feet in barrel of ice-water,
Brother Gardner said:
"When Il find sober, industrious

melons? Well, he did. / remember
very well that on q certain day when
there was great many famous men at
the table, including Mr.. Corwin, Cal
houn, and Gen. Carey, of Michigan,
Mr.. Clay had his watermelon set out
before him. He said: Now, gentle
men, you have before you the most
magnificent product of the vegetable
kingdom. Now. here is the most mag
nificent product of the animal kingdom
butter Well, sir, Mr.. Clay pro-
ceeded to butter his watermelon, and
he put the butter on thick, andNI can
say that he did not stop at one slice.
in fact, he did not stop at fo6r or five
slices of buttered watermelon, every
time they put watermelon on the table.
But 1 can say that none of the other
gentlemen ever followed his advice.
One of Mr.. Clay's friends, a Kentucky
Colonel, tried it once, but you ought to
see him lay it down real quick. No,
