Maine Gossip
The Kiss Good Night.

written for the Journal by D. Homer
Jennings.D
I've seen tonight, in visions bright,
My childhood home again,
The old farm house where | was born,
The fields of golden grain.
The old school house upon the hill,
With children there at play,
And my sweet Nell, the village belle.
That pledged her heart one day.
I've seen the harvest field tonight,
Of barley and the corn,
The husking bee, the candy pull,
The dance till early morn,
The good night at the wicker gate
Where love greetings were free,
The kiss good night, at candle light
My mother gave to me.
I'm going home, no more to roam,
Pm going home to stay,
From off the new mown hay,
I'll climb the rocky cliffs and pick
Ripe berries from the vine,
And meath the honeysuckle bower
I'll WOO the sweetheart mine.
Then back to the old homestead bright,
With children there at play.
Will join the merry group and sing
AS in the by-Sone day
Wen sing the song of Home Sweet
Home
THE Flag That Made Us Free"
The kiss good night at candle light
My mother gave to me.

THE "LAST SUPPER"
Singular Story Of the mastsrpiees Of
Leonardo da Vinei.

GooHSroo o. Vlnci,
MolG-fing away on the wall OF the
old monastery ia Milan. ltai,, hangs
the famous Last Supper" Of Leonardo
da VincL Like every masterpiece. the
painting required many years OF pa
tient labor. and as a result OF tha
labor 1t is perfect in It's paturalnes,
or expression and sublime In It's story
Of love. In addition to these qualities
1t has an incident in its history that
contributes not a little toward making
IT the great teacher that 1t is.
1t is said that the artist. in painting
the faces of the apostles. studied the
countenaDoes OF good men whom he
knew. When. however, he was ready
to paint the face OF Jesus I'm the pic
ture he could find none that would
satisfy his conception. The face that
would serve as a model for the face oil
Christ must be dignified in its sim.
plicity and majestic in It's sweetness
After several years OF careful search
the painter happened to meet one
Pietro Bandinelll, n choir boy of ex
quisite voice, belonging to the cathe.
dral. Being struck by the beautiful
features and tender manner that be
spoke an angelic soul, the artist in
duced the boy to be the study for the
painting OF the face OF Jesus.
All was done most carefully and
reverently, but the picture was as yei
incomplete, for the face OF Judas was
absent. Again the painter, with the
zeal of true lover OF his art. set about
Ia search OF countenance that might
serve for the face OF the traitor. Some
years passed before his search was re
warded and the picture finally con-
pleted. As the artist was about to dis
miss the miserable and degraded
wretch who had been his awful choice
the man looked up at him and SAID
You have painted me before" Hor
/ rifed and dumb with amaEement, the
| painter learned that the man was Pie.
tro BsDdinelli During those intsrven
Ing years Pietro had been at Rome
studying music. had met with evb
! companions, had given himself I'D ts
drinking and gambling, had fallen int
shameful dissipation and crime. The
face that now was the model FOR the
face OF Judas had once been the nodel
for the face Of Christ BTooklys
