In the dim perspective, near the portals of the Hall of Judgmen t, having the statue of Caesar and an Interior view of Jerusalem injJhe background, are outlined the forms cf Pilate, the Roman governor, and Herod, the tetrach ' of Galilee, who, " were made friends together" that same day, the former, distinguished through the gathering darkness by his long red .toga, appearing by his attitude and to disclaim all responsibility for the tragedy then being enactedthe "Judicial murder" of the sinless Son of God. There are various other features, though we have mentioned the main ones, of this remarkable creation, which lack of time and 1 limited space preclude from notice, and which, like all the rest, are only to ba appreciated by being seen. "Christ leaving the Prietcrium" is a masterpiece, both cf conception-an- l execution, a ser- to mon whose silent eloquence the dullest ear could not listen in va'n. M. Dar6 has numer. cus paintings, all cf them excellent, and many magnificent, but the one we have attempted to describe is undoubtedly the crowning effort of his life, eclipsing by Its sunlike splendor the brightest of its rivals, and compelling them to shine with the subdued radiance of its f atellites.

It was something so entirely unexpected, and so unique in the. design, that for a Jong time I stood, as it were with my finger on my lips, musing on so rare an event in my hitherto -"sequestered - vale - of life." -- My writings will- tell . that the thought of what is called fame. is not in my private lexicon. Like the bird upon the tree, I sing my song, or tell my tale, and these have often made for me a sunshine , "in the shade,- and hroughtlo my heart its own reward; it peoples solitude with beings ' to me, and keeps the heart and brain from rusting; nay, it polishes both with a brightness that defies time and age. So you will see there is considerable self in it after all; but at last sweet voices break in upon my solitude and words of loving commendations fall upon mine ear what do I hear? Listen! I am told that I have blest that I have comforted- that I have elevated and called forth a desire to emulate and do likewise, etcetera. and most especially the etcetera! This has caused me ' to rejoice, has fanned the dying flame of inspiration and caused me to rise and shake' off the dust that might by illness have gathered on my brain and the first eflbrt is a few lines to express my thanks to those who have thrown over me this genial n fl uence. Again I look , at the host of tributes lying before me and I read prayers for my health and strength long to continue, for.length of days to continue my loving work and then but no, I must not repeat more of those sweet words, that I hug to my heart, for praise from such pure, nobler generous, unsophisticated spirits, make diamonds and rubies aid priceless gems of earth, -appear as dust on the balance to my enraptured, grateful and appreciative soul! I entreat each dear loving sister tp take my words and apply them especially to herself and in return, I pray rand believe that your sweet prayers will be heard in the Court of Heaven, and answered upon my head; and I ask for you, my sisters, similar blessings upon each one of those dear name that forma ve around my brow. May we meet, if not on earth, in the glorious eternities that 'lie before us, for I feel there is ..the tie of love and congeniality around us, that is not of the earth, earthy. Again accept py grateful thanks and more, my rich appreciation of the medal of honor you have so .elegantly presented to me and believe that living or dying I shall "turn tho leaf to read'' your sweet appreciation and" loving words.
