Triumph OF Love in Art.

A century since. in the North OF
Europe, stood an old cathedral. upon
one OF the arches Of which was a
scnlptnred face of wondrous beauty.
II was long hidden, until one day the
suns light, striking through slanted
window, revealed its matchIess feat
ures. And ever after, year after year,
upon the days when for a brief hour
1t was thus illuminated, crowds came
and waited eagerly to catch but
glimpse of that face. 1t had a
strange history. When the cathe-
dral was being built mn old man
broken with the weight OF years and
cares, came and besought the archi.
tect to let him work uDon it. Out Of
pity for his age, but fearful lest his
failing sight and trembling touch
might mar some fair design, the
master set him to work in the shad-
ows OF the vaulted roof.
One day they found the old man
asleep in death, the tools Of his craft
laid i'll order beside him, the cunning
OF his right hand gone, his face M.
turned to this other marvellous face
which no had wrought there-tbe
face OF one whom he had loved and
lost in his early manhood. And
when the artists and sculptors and
workmen from all parts OF the cathe
dral came and looked upon that face
they said: @This is the grandest
work OF all; love wrought this!"--
