Feeling honored by lUo com' mission, the artist was less incited to per form ihe task that was ottered as a compen sation, than 'by the desire to improve so unusual an opportunity to render himself, if successful, famous and honored. After a careful study of the subject, the drawings were made, the omvaa slretohed in frame, and other necessary preliminaries attended to. Day after day he labored at work with a never ce.asing assiduity ; so in tent indeed was he upon the subject that it wag tlio theme even of his dreams, and he returned at break of day each morning to his palette atid brush, with a ferered brow and trembling hand. He scarcely partook of food at all ; a monomania seemed to have seized upon him, and he could think of nothing, seo nothing, but the work in which his whole soul was engaged. One <l?y\ after silting long and silently,' regarding his unfinished work with an ex pression of disappointment, and now, for the first time, doubling his own ability as iu uc.ii- nun: i-j complete ui picture,eitlier ft fo as to sati>fy himself or his noble patron, <| he felt almost like giving up in bespair. It n was the expreesion of the face that chiefly fi annoyed and puzzled him. lie could tt faintlv conceive of what wna wanlinor hut with all liis ingenuity he could not produce it?all his (-Sorts were futile; lie was de jected, discouraged, miserable. While he was thjs occupied, striving to devise some means wheivl.y to g.iin fre3h inspiration usddenly he was arousetl hy n knock ai his :loor, which lie opened, and discovered a trc'l-htygnr. The artist started hack with an unfeigned xclamation of surnriee. Hn w.na mnfnnn. rli-rl, for in the features of the mendicant be beheld the eery expression and face he wauled. It seemeil to him as though Prov ileucc* bad 6enl the fcc^gar at that preciso moment to answer his want?to supply the leeewsry inspiration that would enable lim to complete the work. v. nai woni J you with mo i asked the )ain'.ur, regaining bis breath. 'Alius, master, alnis'l' 'Vou are really poor and needy ?' continu al (lie artist. 'Master,I am starving!' 'I will feed you ; corns in,' said the pain .er. kindlv. 'But my children ?' 'Shall be taken care of, too, if you serve me as I direct.' 'I will do anything.' 'Then sit down, and I will tell you what I phall require of you.' 'What, here! 'Yes* it is here that I shall want you to servo me,'answered the artist. 'But first give me food for my wife and children,' said the beggar. ?rue, lunL mum uo aui'iiuea 10. uere is gold.' 'Oil, matter, it is too mucb. I. dare not take so large a sura !' 'Take it, and away. Meet mo daybreak to morrow.' 'I will be hero at the bout',' replied tbe mendicant, bur^ying.awAy. A now life was infused intone breast of the artist. lie j;e^rirded bis picture with renewed interest, and filled in some portions }f detail with a dashing band, bumming the nliilea gay air, as be alternately gave i few touches, and then retreated from tbe :anv?5, regarding carefully tbe effeci pro? iuccd. He reti?i3 to bis coucb, and for the first time since bis picture w?s commenced, he slept soundly and in peace. With the raorningjight camo the^beg-' ajar once more, faithtWflcMiia pfomise, and refreshed by sleep and the joy of having fed liia hungry on,ea at bapis* Ue was welcomed with an earnestness thsfefafl cdfcld T ^ ~ Dot account for in bis bumble powers af mind. Ilia fac? was even more fa the painter (Je>ired it abonld .be, than it bad sremcil ou tbe previous day ; it bad just that calm, sel&-?acrificituL and peaceful ex pression that the artist had so -struggled to produce oo the canvas.

The ' pjpMir# arrewffiaoe :* the*" artto c !?WSSSj?^!6c a eork was nearly completed?one expression ipon the face alone was wanting. It was ho agony experienced by the Savior when xio spear was thrust into his side, and the lails pierced his hnnds upon tho cros3. The painetr sat wilb tho beggar bound tefore him. It was the last touch of bis rush ; be gazed upon the uneasy body of be mendicant, on whom be had drawn tho crds tighter than usual. The expression ti the countenance of tho arust was one of trange nod struggling passion ; some dark esolvo was passing through his braii;. Suddenly he drew his dagger, and pinned lie beggar to the cross! The ngony of eath was on hin\, and he writhed beneath lio pain of that fatal blow ; his face ns nmed the very expression tliat the painter .-anted. It was the dying look?half-re roachf'.d, half-forgiving, yet wrought with n agony of pain. "With an eflbtt at calmness, he seized is brush, and catching that expression, laced it upon the picture with faultless ac* ur?cy. n was perieci. 4 no painter rembled violently with the fearful excite? lent of tlio moment. 'Twas done. The eople's order was fulfilled?the mendicant 'as a corps.e On the subsequent day came the all pow rful head of the ebnrch to see how bia rder had been executed. A dim but fault SS3 light has been arranged so as to fall pon tbe painting, and as the curtain was illidravn, and his holiness beheld the per ct picture, saw the wonderful accuracy of etail, the marked excellence of eveD the lost trifling part of the painting, and nally the almost miraculous expression of le death-agony in his face, be exclaimed itli amazement, *IIath Heaven inspired lis man ?' And he lingered long and even anxiously V the wonderful picture, until at last, or? ering its removal on the subsequent d?y, e returned to his place delighted at the iccessful result of his order to the artist. Nopoonerhad the pope returned to his easury titan lie ordered ten thousand iasters to be Bent to the painter. The loney was received, and the young painter urried fojlh with the two bags that held ie inm, and sought, in a retired part of the ty, the residence of the beggar's family, j [e found the sorrowing wife and weeping , tildren, deposited the ten thousand piasters ] i her hands, saying that it was sent to her j y the pope, and then returned to Lis stu-! io. On tlio following morning a file of the j iptd guard was heard approaching the J ior, and the artist knew tliHt his crime was scovered, and tliat these soldiers had come > arrest him. A moment only ho liesita d ; then, seizing a brush, with 0110 din to a pot, and a dash upon that almost liv S picture, he obliterated every link of jauty, and left it a mere daub J The Rol lers cam; he was arrested and thrown ito prison.

But tliAie came a message from tlie pope > his dungeon, when it was found that this onderful picture was ruined, sayibg. if he oijld restore the pAinting to it* original erfection he should be pardoned. Assent >g to this, the artist demanded to be let ack to bis study, where ft guard-was placed i bis door. Being once again alone, be ipped a piece of convass in a preparation nown to himself, and in one moment ol>? lernted every sign of disfigurement be ad made upon the painting; and, calling >r tllA nflfl/'Af pntltlfitfi/l iKn AVA/mlUn r (lie business, exhibited, alnfbst instantly, le restored picture !

And apposite ard correct quota tions from it add beauty to editorial or essay, speech or sermon ; in short, to any literary production whatever, A misquota tion from it not only shocks the sensibili ties of the accurate scholar, but impairs the effect of ail tbo thoughts that are afiVuted with it. Even if tbo idea embodied in the quotation is preserved with the utmost ex actness, and departure from verbal accurao ngss is always disagreeable. Sometimes we hear quotations made as from tbe Bible, which have not even a ver bal similitude to the passage of Scripture. God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb,' is such a quotation, but the error has been so frequently exposed that faw now ascribe the sentence to any other than its n*al au thor? Slerne. Misquotations preserving some shadow of resemblanco to the lan guago of God's word, are quite numerous, and are often made. 'Spare the rod and spoil the child,' has been quoted by many a good women as ; scriptural authority for tlio chastisement of uuruly children. An approximation to it | may be found iu Proverbs xii. 2'4?"lie that spnreth the rod hateth his son.' 'As. the tree falls so it lies,1 is frequently ! cited in discussions with Uni versa lists, m j connection with texts proving tlio unalter- j ablo condition of man aftei death. The | true rpading is 'If the tree fall toward the { South, or toward the North, in the place : where tho tree falleth thero shall it lie.'? j Eccle. xi. 3. In the prayers offered in social meetings, ! we often lienr?'Thou ha<U siiid, where two ! or threo are gathered together in mv name there I am in Lho midst of them, and that to bit: them.' The last clause of the sen tence Is a verv snrintural infrronrr. from Ilir? preceding clause, but it was not Paid by Christ. Nono nro more liable to misquote the Bible than those who have tbo most fre? [ quent occasion to quote it. Intimate ! familiarity with the thought, doec, not al? | ways ensure an exact recollection of the i word*. The true and only remedy for this mis- j quotation, is never to cite a passage?cer- ! tninly never in writing ?without verifying j it by 'turning up' the passago, and copying it directly from the hook. A rigid ad herence to thiarulo will tave many mortify ing blunders. It has saved the writer from one, in the preparation of this very article. RBUKDIES FOB DYSPEPSIA.

LIVERPOOL CORRESPONDENCE OF TEE SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN. The greatest treats of the week are Dr. : Russell'u letters from Savannah and Muiit- j 1 gomery, dated 6rst aud fourth of May, es- ; ^ pecially the one from Montgomery. Since | ' their publication the feeling has been de- | ' cidedlv in favor of tho South, and it is said J * * 1 with much truth, that the behavior of tho j Confederate States is much more civilized i 1 and seemly than that of the North. I don't like to be presumptuous nor to appear die- j ^ tatorial, but this I may say with safety, that ( ( the North are heaping too much stress on ! England's dislike to slavery, and if they | j think wo are goin^ to hob nob with a peo- I pie who are laying every restriction on our j commerce they can, by their Morrill (or 1 iiu Morrill) tariffs, they are very much inis taken, particularly so ulieu their Minister i * to Russia, sneaking at a'Union breakfast' j I in Paris, on Wednesday, threatened us with J a Fianco-American invasion 'if our Hag be 1 comeR associated with the black flag of the South."

A ' very distinguished surgeon in the Indian I army stales that from long experience in ! tropical climates, with soldiers in barracks , and in the field, he observed that 4a cup of warm coffee taken iu the morning ended to prevent sickness.' During the Crimean war, it was found that when tbo soldiers obtained warm coffee they Mistained fatigue, and wero compara tively liealthv ! bllt wllpn fbf?17 worn in llio I trendies, and could Dot get warm tea or , coffee, they were very subject to djac-n- ' tory.
