Rosy Tint, emblematic of their happi- ness, now hides her from our view. From this another scene of sorrow ap- pears— 10.

He knew the depth of her repent- ance, and forgave her sins, and she is ab- sorbed in the pages of the 11. Blessed Book, from whence we have drawn our simple narrative of these few fe- male characters. mounted and plain, $8.50 a slides, $6.75. A TOUR WITH THE GODDESSES. FULL OF MYSTERIOUS BEAUTY'. 1. Sappho (Statuary).—As our subject is of a rather poetical nature, the goddess of poetry first appears before us. She was born about 600 years before the Christian era. She was celebrated for her beauty and talent, i and while still quite young, composed nine books in lyric verse. After her early death she received divine honors from the people, and temples were erected in her memory. She had fallen desperately in love with a youth called Phaon. His indifference broke her heart, and she concluded to throw her- self in to 2. The Sea.—Here we see her vanishing amid the turbulent waters, and again from from their depths arises a beautiful group. 3. Leda and the Swan (Statuary).—The fair Leda was the wife of the King of Sparta. Jupiter became so attracted by her loveliness as t< i excite the jealousy of his lawful spouse, Juno, and she changed him into a swan. She could not, however, change his heart, and here we see him beside his mistress, while she tenderly caresses his graceful head. We now lose the lovers on the 4. Snowy Peaks of the heaven-reaching mountains, while slowly emerging from the caverns we descry the form of 5. Diana (Statuary), the goddess of hunt- ing.--She was a twin sister of Apollo. She obtained permission from her father, Jupiter, to live in perpetual celibacy, and to avoid the society of men devoted herself to hunt- ing, having a little army of nymphs as her Ten colored slides wood-i Unframed colored and pi attendants, all of whom took vows to follow her example of single blessedness. Her most famous temple was that at Ephesus, called one of the seven wonders of the world. She is now bent on some deed of vengeance, and we lose sight of her in this 6. Cascade.—She hurries on her errand, and through the mist of the waterfall we catch sight of her victim 7. Niobe (Statuary), who by her ambition has incurred the anger of the gods, and they kill her children. Apollo slew the seven sons, and Diana destroyed the daughters. Niobe herself, overcome with grief, re- mained weeping over her dead children until she was changed into 8. Stone.—This scene of desolation seems typical of the ruins into which so many am- bitions are thrown. 9. Juno (Statuary), the queen of heaven, now comes haughtily upon the s^ene. She was the wife of Jupiter, and her power was unlimited. She was strictly virtuous and in- flicted severe punishment on those who were not. Her cruelty so exasperated Jupiter that he suspended her from heaven by a golden chain, with a heavy anvil attached to her feet. This only made her angry, and he was obliged to release her for fear of het vengeance. And here we lose sight of her as she vanishes in the 10. Rosy Clouds of heaven, still bent on reforming the wild ways of her husband. lounted and plain, $8.50 in slides, $6.75.
