Brilliant Flesh TInts.

He had conceived an idea for great
classical picture, and he hired stalwart
gentleman of toll to pose for the muscu-
lar figure required for the center of the
picture. He painted for days and days,
and he thought whenever he had his
model before him that he had never seen
such rich flesh tints before. And he
studied those flesh tints and worked till
he had got them perfect. Then he called
his brother artists in and showed them
the picture.
"Those flesh tints don't seem quite
right. Where did you get them?"
"They rich. aren't they? But they're
from nature. They're from my model.
"Well. they don't look quite natural. 4"
The last touches had to be given and
the model had come to pose for the last
time. When he stripped his torso and
took his position the painter stared
aghast. The brilliant flesh tints had
vanished and he was plain, ordinary
flesh colored individual.

The FOOLED ELM.


The bold young Autumn came riding along
One day where an elm tree grew.
-'You are fair" be said, as she bends her head-
Too fair for your robes dull hue;
You are far too young for garb 50 old;
Your beauty needs color and sheen.
Oh. would clotheyou in scarlet and gold.
Befrting thy grace Of queen
For one little kiss on your lips. sweet Elm.
For Just one kiss-uo more
viii give you. swear. Q robe more fair
Than ever a princess wore
One little kiss on those lips, my pet
And 10. you shall stand, say,
Queen OF the forest and. better yet
oussn OF my heart alWsy"
She tossed her head but-he took the kiss
CTS the way Of lovers bold);
And a gorgeous dress for that sweet cares
He gave ere the morn was old
For week and day she ruled queen
In beauty and splendid attire;
For week and a day she was loved, ween,
With love that Is born OF desire
Then bold eyed Autumn went on his way
In quest Of a tree more fair;
And mob winds tattered her garments and scat
tered
Her inefy here and there
Poor and faded and ragged and cold
She rocked and moaned In distress,
And longed for the dull green gown she had sold
For lovers ickle caress
And the days went by and the winter came.
And his tyrannous tempests beat
On the shivering tree whose robes Of shame
He had trampled under his feet.
saw her reach to the mocking skies
Her poor arms bare and thin
All, welladay, it Is ever the way
With woman who trades with sin

A Rival of the Virginia Natural Bridge.

A Rival of the Virginia Natural Bridge.
High up in the crest of the mountains
on the Birmingham, Sheffield and Ten
nessee River railroad there is to be found
ono of natures wonders. 1t is natural
bridge, as complete, as perfect, as SYM
metrical, and, in some essentials, more
remarkable than the. great natural bridge
of Virginia.
The bridge lies between tho stations of
Lynn and Delmar. 1t is about fifty-eight
miles from Sheffield and twenty-nire
miles from Jasper. Its length from abut-
ment to abutment is 175 feet. Its width
is 25 feet, and the thickness ranges from
4to Q feet. 1t is of pure sand stone, and
has no doubt stood the climate changes
of ages. Leaning over the bridge you
see in the ravine which it spans, some
sixty feet below, the simmer and sparkle
Of many springs of clear, limpid water,
which bubble from the sandstone soil,
and joining Aow down the ravine. A
singular feature is subdivision or small
!er bridge, constructed on the same pat
tern, perhaps even more perfect lines,
which leads from one side of the bridge
proper. .-Tuscumhia North Alabamian.
