In the composition of such mythological subjects the unlettered Annibale was totally inadequate. See vol. i., page 71 of this work. This wonderful picture is one of the most singular and beautiful works of that great master.

"To be like Christ, then, is to be a Christian." "Some folk think they may scold, rail, hate, rob, and kill too: so it be but for God's sake. But nothing in us, unlike him, can please him." So the book goes, page after page, always serious and sensible, full of simplicity and kindliness, cheerful and brotherly and unfailingly religious.

The corrector of the press bore these strong epithets till he got to "more fierce," and then he put in the margin a query. In the very first page of the first Tract, I said of the bishops, that, "black event though it would be for the country, yet we could not wish them a more blessed termination of their course, than the spoiling of their goods and martyrdom."

"Oh yes, words enough!" admitted Page, "but all about the same sort of thing. It reminds me of the seminarists in Rome, who have to use Latin for everything. They can manage predestination and vicarious atonement like a shot, but when it comes to ordering somebody to call them for the six-twenty train to Naples they're lost. Now, you can talk about your bric-

That book lay on the table, and I saw that it was open; I kneeled before it; on the page were these words and no more: "Adieu, my son, I love you and I die."

"And she called you a fair boy, and asked if you would be her little page; and this has turned thy brain, silly urchin that thou art "

But for five years my only wish has been to learn to read, and I am so glad to be able to." I wanted to teach her to spell. "I almost think I can a little." And she was already so far that without spelling first she read a whole page of two-letter spellings, almost without a mistake.

The Prince of Cleves put on his own, as the herald came up to the chair of state where the sovereign sat. "Silence for Bleu Sanglier," cried the Prince, gravely. "Say your say, Sir Herald."

But then, even in the most insignificant details of our daily life, none of us can be said to constitute a material whole, which is identical for everyone, and need only be turned up like a page in an account-book or the record of a will; our social personality is created by the thoughts of other people.
