The canopied ceiling has been married by

ing seemed like summer night, blending
of starlight and the light OF other days. A
merchant prince in the days which old New
Workers know SO well had built the house.
Ills bedroom was finished with this won
derful ceiling, which arched up and dropped
at the corners like the great sheet which
the apostle saw. An Italian artist came
over the sea especially 10 paint this won
drous ceiling. He mixed his colors while
his minds eve saw night upon the Veg
uvian bay. The color was Of the blue of n
summers day washed with darkness. The
stars shone from out the field of blue like
glittering clasps of the trailing garments of
the night. Beneath such sky man might
find repose Then the evil day came TO the
house Of the canopicd ceiling. The neigh
borhood became no longer fashionable and
the house became the home OF tenement
jewellers. The new tenants splashed the
canopied ceiling with whitewash and blotted
out the stars forever.-N. y. Telegram.
