Tlio Death of Raphael.
Cardinal Rtbbtona thus touchingly de
scribes tho death of tho wonderful painter,
whoso early domiso losb so much.of tlio
benutlfol to tho world:.
Ab I ontererf, ho lichi in his hand n fow
wring flowers, which ho lot full ns I hand
ed him a rosary. Ho pressed tho cross to
his lips and' whispered “Marla.’.’. Ilia
voice had a peculiar sound, clear, hut no
low ns to bo scarcely audible. In the sick
room I found Count Cusllgliune, tlio good
fathers Antonio nnd Domenico, tho paint
er Glulio, and others, They Imd-moved,
Ills codch to tho window wmdf stood wido
open. Was It the ellcct.of tlio softenlug
f ‘ t of tho Approaching triumph? Kn
ot had novor appeared tnoro benutlfol,
complexion wnshioro roseate, anil Id's
thoughtful brown artist-eyes larger ami
mare luminous than usual. I.told him
whnt his Holiness Imd rcqucstcihme to sny.
“And so, dear Raphael.” I concludsd,
“may tlio sympathy which tho highest ns
wollas tho lowest.feel for youi-lUWe Ihb
upwer to keep long with usl”
Ho smiled sadly. .
'“You Will, yon -ffiflftMl broko hi Cns-
igllone. “Think what a loiigiug Air hi t
your attainments hnvo awnkuned within
us. Think of your fhvorlto plan to rebuild
classical Rome, with it, marble palnfiQs
and temples, Its trlumplmluvolios-and plot

“Yes. I desired It,” replied lie: “Mid 1f
God hid grnntcd moriojiger life,, I al>oitk|
have succeeded.”
“Doyou still speak,” said Iroproath-
fhlly, “ns if yon wotftd never fectfvor?’!
“Oh; father!” said lie, “the separation
is not easy for me. If I could describe to
'you tlio 1 miffing Which I hfl.ve to retain (1)6

‘■•Beloved,” said I, “do.not forget that
to-day-the Savior died-that wo miglit
throw oil' tips mortal Mb and put on im
mortality."
“How should I forgot Himfrora wlfflra
I have received everything?” lie nnswm--

The British ship Britannia was wreck

standing In a railway ear, omnibus, street

the proverbial politeness of Southern gen

abused. As mi dxamplo wo will -mention

There' is another evil which ought to ho

variably calls upon gentlemen in tho nd-

s all wrong. Let him llratclcar tho ladle*’

Hereupon Muggins got excited, nnd ho.wh
