Was it the lifting of that eye
The waving of that pictured hand?

The narrow room had vanished,-space
Broad, luminous, remained alone.
Through which all hues and shapes of grace
And beauty looked shone.
Around the mighty master came
The marves which HIS pencil wrought
Those miracles of power whose fame
Is wide as human thought.
There droopd thy more than mortal face,
O mother beautiful and mild!
Unfolding in dear embrace
Thy Savious and thy Child
The rapt brow of the Desert John;
The awful glory OF that day
When all the Fathers brightness shone
Through manhoods veil of clay.

Preservation of Mt. Vernon,
peace

The Mt Vernon case is only one of many that
have served to call attention to the case with
which officials at times lose sight Of the man
point in dealing with matters in which the pubhc
is quietly but intensely interested. The frequency
aud persstency with which the wrong thing Is
done. under circumstances that rendered the 90
ing Of the right thing only possible but nat
urai and convenient, has called for much COM
ment. There is, for example, some little point
on which public sentiment is particularly sensi-
tive, there is some little thing which the public
does not want done, there is little dream
which the public Is hoping to see realized-along
comes the official official body and antagonizes
and outrages popular thought by taking the one
course that should have been avoided.
