THE COLISEUM.

o Coliseum ruin vast and strong,
Defiant still, spite power Of time and fate,
Thou holdest well thy solitary state
Amid new worlds that idly round thee throng.
And through the centuries thou dost prolong
The majesty of Rome, her mighty weight
OF will, appraised above the little great,
And quick to punish all who did her wrong.
But behold, cold and Indifferent,
Unmoved by awful sternness of thy face,
Needless of all the memories which have lent
To thy unyielding form tender grace,
For thou art but the shameless monument
OF the fierce strength of an unloving race.
Rev. j. L. Spalding in Catholic World.

PAINTINGS oE CHRIST.
The Face as Depicted by Some of the More
Modern Artists.

The Face as Depicted by some OF the more
Modern Artists.
Among the more modern paintings
representing the Saviour is that by Cor.
reggie, painted in the sixteenth cen
fury. It represents Christ with short
curly beard, with long waving hair, sur
mounted by a crown of thorns. There
is a look of mute anguish on his face
that is heartrending, but nevertheless
the face is rather weak.
The most terrible likeness is that
painted at about the same time as that
Of Correggio by Albert Durer. 1t rep
resents a powerful face, with a Grecian
cast of countenance, with eyes distorted
by pain and anguish, and even trifle
of anger is apparent.
The Christ Of Raphael, a contempt
rary of both the above, is an essentially
Italian work, the face being italian,
although the model for the forehead and
upper face was evidently a woman.
The Rembrandt Christ of theseventeenth
century wears an unpleasant expression
about the mouth and has too long a face
to be perfect, yet it is one Of the great
artists last efforts.
Perhaps the most fantastic picture of
Christ is that painted in the fifteenth
century by Leonardo da Vinci. 1t rep
resents the Saviour looking over his
shoulder, cynical smile OH his face.
A hand may be seen in his hair, evi
IDENTIFY drawing the head to one side. II
cannot compare in beauty, however, to
the same artists face Of Christ in the
famous Lords Supper
The noblest and the grandest is that
by Titan, painted in the sixteenth CEN
fury. 1t is face Of resignation, Of
frmness-strong, yet mild; mild, yet
strong. Titan was 80 years old when
he painted this, and it is considered as
one of his masterpieces.
Of the absolutely modern paintings
of Christ those of Munkaczy, AIRY Shelf
fer and Gabriel Marx rank highest. Still
every one of these is an imaginary pro-
duction, and the Saviour will still con
tinue to be the 'Man Of Mystery. -
Edgar Mels in Home and Country.

A Lucky Purchase.

The Manchester Courier says tha
just before the Zulu war there was il
Mauritius stamp collector who was /;
friend of the local postmaster. One day
he learned that there was to be a clear
ance of old stock and obtained permits
sion to buy it all as waste. 1t occurred
to him that he might do the same al
other small colonial postofices and &C
quire stamps without difficulty. One o
his Mauritius stamps he sold not long
ago for s., 800, and, according to tht
Manchester Courier, he has alread,
made between 100000 and $3.50, 00(
by his investment.
