The Beauties Of Water Color.

Mr. Ruskin has taken hand in the
controversy about the durability Of water
colors, and he speaks with his usual ardor:
-Pure old water-color painting must be
on pure old paper made of honest old rags
There is no china painting, no glass paint
ing, no tempera, no fresco, no oil, no wax,
varnish, or twenty chimney power-ex-
tract-of-everything painting which can
compare with the quiet, tender virtue Of
water-color in its proper use and place.
There is nothing that obeys the artists
hand so exquisitely; nothing that records
the subtlest pleasures OF sight so perfectly
All the splendors Of the prism and the
Jewel are vulgar and few compared to the
subdued blending Of infinite opalescence
