Wo find in Blackwood for July, a po em, in two parts, referring to the exe cution of Leonardo da Vinci's great painting of the _Lord's Supper, in the refectory of a convent at Milan. The interest of the poem turns upon the careful slowness of the great painter, who spent several years upon the work —the exact time is not known—and the impatience of the stupid and unap preciative monks at such a spectacle of idleness, as they regarded it, and at such a protracted exclusion from their refectory. Tho first part of the poem is her , ,ded : PADRE BANDELLI PROSES TO TUE DUKE LUDO TIC° SPoRZA. ABOUT LEONARDO:DA 'VINCI. Two steps, your Highness—let me go before, And let some light down this dark corridor Ser Leonardo keeps the only key To the main entrance hero so jealotislY, That we must creep in at this secret door If we his great Cenaeolo would see. The work shows talent—that I must confess; The heads, too, are expressive, every one; But, with his idling and fastidiousness, I fear his picture never will be done. After bemoaning the delay, and be seechin the duke's in terferance,the pri or proceeds to criticise Leonardo's mode of working. 'Tis twenty months since first upon the wall This Leonardo smoothed his plaster—then He spent two months ere he began to scrawl His figures, which were scarcely outlined,when Some new fit seized him,and he spoilt them all. As he began the first month that he came, So he went on, month after month the same. At times, when he had worked from morn to night For weeks and weeks on some apostle's head, In one hour, as it were from sudden spite, He'd wipe it out. When I remonstrated, Saying, " Ser Leonardo, you erase More than you leave—that's not the way to paint; Before you finish we shall all be dead ; Smiling he turns (he has a pleasant face Though he would try the patience of a saint With all his wilful ways,) and calmly said, "I wiped it out, because it was not right ; I wish it had been, for your sake, no less Than for this pious convent's; and indeed, The simple truth, good Padre to confess, I've not the least objection to succeed: But I must please myself as well as you, Since I must answer for the work I do." There was - St. John's bead, that I 'verily thought He'd never finish. Twenty times at least I thought it done, but still he wrought and wrought, Defaced, remade, until at last he ceased To work at all—went off and locked the door— Was gone three days—then came and sat be- _ fore The picturo full an hour—then calmly rose And scratched out in a trice the mouth and nose. This is sheer folly, as it seems to me., Or worse than folly. Does your Highness pay A. certain sum to him for every day ? If so, the reason's very clear to see. No ? Then his brain is touched, assuredly. At last, - however, as you coo, 'tie done— All but our Lord's head, and the Judas there. A month ago he finished the St John, And has not touched it since, that I'm aware ; And now, he neither seems to think or care About the rest, but wanders up and down The cloistered, gallery in his long dark gown, Picking the black stones out to step upon, Or through the garden paces listlessly With eyes fixed on the ground, hour after hour While now and then he stoops and picks a flower, And smells it, ns it were, abstractedly. What he is doing is a plague to me ! Sometimes ho stands before yon orange-pot, His hands behind him, just as if he saw Some curious thing upon its leaves, and then, With a quick glance, as if a sudden thought Had struck his mind, there, standing on the spot, He takes a little tablet out to draw, Then, muttering to himself, walks on agen He is the very oddest man of men ! Brother Anselmo tells me that the book ('Twas left by chance upon the bench one day, And in its leaves our brother got a look) Is scribbled over with all sorts of things,— Notes about colors, how to mix and lay, With plans of flying figures, frames for wings, Caricatures and forts and scaffoldings; The skeletons of men and beasts and birds, Engines, and cabalistic signs and words, Some written backwards, notes of music, lyres, And wheels with boilers under them and fires, A sort of lute made of a horse's skull, Sonnets, and other idle scraps of rhyme,— Of things like this the book was scribbled full I pray your Highness, now, is this the way, Instead of painting every' day all day, For him to trifle with our precious time ? At this point, the painter himself appears in the distance, lost in revsry. The prior seizes the opportunity to point him out to the duke. Ah I there he is now—Would your Highness look behind that pillar in the farthest nook, That is his velvet cap and flowing robe. See how he pulls his beard, as up and down Lie seems to count the stones he treads upon ! 'Twould irk the patience of the good man Job To see him idling thus his time away. He then repeats one of his conver sations with L3ona,rdo, in which he remonstrated with him upon his idle ness, but received from the patient and gentle painter a mild denial of the charge. The remainder of the conver sation is thus reported by the prior. " Not idle ! Well, I know not what you do! You do not paint our picture, that I see." To which he said, " A picture is not wrought By hands alone, good Padre, but by thought. In the interior life it first must start, And grow to form and color in the soul : There once conceived and rounded to a whole, The rest is but the handicraft of art. While I seem idle, then my soul creates; While I am painting, then my hand trans lates." Now this, I say, is nonsense, sheer enough, Or else a metaphysical excuse For idleness, and he should not abuse Your Highness by this sort of canting stuff. Look at him sauntering there in his long dress If he is working, what is idleness ? While the prior continues his com plaints, the accused painter draws near and pleads his own- cause to the duke. We reserve his defence to our next Wz are never well informed of the truth till we are conformed to the truth. SOENES AND INOIDENTS OP THE TIME OP CALVIN. The third volume of Dr. Merle D'Au bigne's Etistory of the Reformation in _Eu rope in the Time of Calvin descri bes the in cidents attending the preaching of the evangelical faith in France and Switzer land, by Calvin, Farel, Viret, and others. We extract a few interesting passages, picturing with the author's pecu liar vivid ness of description, some of the men and scenes of the period. CALVIN, ROUSSEL, AND LEFEVRE This volume opens with the flight of Calvin and Cop from Paris, in 1533, on account of their heretical enunciations before the Sorbonne. Calvin took re fuge with Du Tillet at Angoulemo. After a time he visited Roussel and Lefevre at Nerac. lie first called upon Roussel: " The most decided and most mode rate of the theologians of the sixteenth century were now face to face. Calvin, naturally timid and hesitating, ' would never have had the boldness so much as to open his mouth (to use his own words;) but faith in Christ begot such a strong assurance in his heart that he could not remain silent.' He, therefore, gave his opinion with decision : Th6re is no good left in Catholicism,' he said. ' We must re-establish the church in its ancient purity.' What is that you say?' answered the astonished Roussel: 'God's house ought to be purified, no doubt, but not destroyed.' 'lmpossible,' said the young reformer ; the edifice is so bad that it cannot be repaired. We must pull it down entirely, and build a new one in its place.' Roussel exclaim ed with alarm: ' We must cleanse the church, but not by setting it on fire. If we take upon ourselves to pull it down we shall be crushed under the ruins.' " Calvin retired in sorrow. "Nene, as we have said, sheltered another teacher—an old man, whom age might have made weaker than Roussel, but who, under his white hair and decrepit appearance, concealed a living force, to be suddenly revived by contact with the great faith of the young scholar. Calvin asked for Le fevre s house: everybody knew him : g He is a little bit of a man, old as Herod, but lively as gunpowder,' they told him. As we have seen, Lefevre had professed the great doctrine of jus tification by faith, even before Luther; but after so many years, the aged doc tor still indulged in the vain hope of seeing Catholicism reform itself. ' There ought to be only one church,' he would frequently. repeat, and this idea pre vented his separation from Rome. Nevertheless, his spiritualist views per mitted him to preserve the unity of charity with all who loved Christ. " When Calvin was admitted into his presence, he discerned the great man under his puny stature, and was caught by the charm which he exercised over all who came near him. What mild ness, what depth, what knowledge, modesty, candor, loftiness, piety, moral grandeur, and holiness, had been said of him ! It seemed as if all these _virtues illuminated the old man with heavenly brightness just as the night of the grave was about to cover him with its dark ness. On his side, the young man pleased Lefevre, who began to tell him how the prosecution of the Sorbonne had compelled him to take refuge in the south, in order,' as he said, escape the bloody, hands of those doctors! "Calvin endeavored to remove the old man's illusions. He showed him that we must receive everything from the Word and from the grace of God. He spoke with clearness, with decisidn, and with energy. Lefevre was moved—he reflected a little, and weeping, exclaims: Alas I know the truth, but I keep myself apart from those who profess it.' Recovering, however, from his trouble, ho wiped his eyes, and seeing his young fellow-countryman rejecting all the fetters of this world and preparing to fight under the banner of Jesus,' he ex amined him more attentively, and asked himself if he had not before him that fu ture reformer whom he had once fore told. 6 Young man,' he said, you will be one day a powerful instrument in the Lord's hand. . . The world will obstinately resist Jesus Christ, and everything will seem to conspire against the Son of God; but stand firm on that rock, and many will be broken against it. God will make use of you to restore the kingdom of heaven in France.' In 1509 Luther, being of the same age as Calvin in 1534, heard a similar prophecy from the mouth of a venerable doctor. " Yet, if we may believe a Catholic historian, the old man did not stop there. His eyes, resting with kindness on the young man, expressed a certain fear? He fancied he saw a young horse which, however admirable its spirit, might dash beyond all restraint. 'Be on your guard,' he added, against the extreme ardor of your mind. Take Melanchthon as your pattern, and let your strength be always tempered with charity.' The old man pressed the young man's hand, and they parted never to see each other again." INCIDENTS OF PERSECUTION The spirit of persecution was active in those days. The following are a few among the many incidents which might be adduced to show the manner of its workings : " Two - journeymen, natives of Tours, and ribbon weavers, arrived in Paris from Almaynel bringing with them a Lutheran book. 'Landlord,' said one of them imprudently, 'take care of this book while we go into town, and do not show it to anybody. The innkeeper, whose curiosity was thus aroused, turn ed the book round and round, tried to read it, and at last, unable to hold out any longer, went and showed it to a priest. The latter having opened it, ex claimed : 'lt is a damnable book!' The landlord informed against the travellers; Morin had the two friends arrested. . . . their tongues were cut out, and they were burnt 'alive and contu macions.' " Faris did not enjoy alone these cruel PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1864. spectacles : piles were kindled in many cities of France. A poor girl, Mary Be caudelle, surnamed the Laborite, had just returned to Essarts, in Vendee, her native place, after being in service at Rochelle with a master who had taught her the gospel. A gray friar happened to be preaching in her little town, and she went to hear him. After the ser mon, she said to him : ' Father, you do not preach the Word of God,' and pointed it out to him. Ashamed at being taken to task by a woman, the friar, who was alone, resolved to get himself reprimand ed a second time, but before witnesses. The plot was arranged. The friar having insulted the doctrine of grace, the terri fied Laborite exclaimed : If you insult the gospel, the wrath of God will be against you.' She was condemned to the stake shortly after, and endured her punishment with such patience as.,to cause great admiration.' " About the same time two or three men were keeping watch, during the night, in the chapel of the Holy Candle, at Arras, in Artois. There was a candle" there to which the devout used to sing hymns, because the priests told them it was Bent from heaven and was never consumed. That is what we will see,' said these evangelicals; Nicholas, sur named the Raman, ' a man of good sense and well taught in holy learning,' Jean de Pois, and Stephen Bourlet, ' who had both received much instruc tion from Nicholas.' One day they took their station round the candle, deter mined not to fall asleep. The substitu tion, generally effected by the adepts at night, while the doors were closed, not having been made, on account of these in quisitive men, the perpetual candle came to an end and went out, like any other candle. Then Nicholas and his friends, calling in 'the poor idolaters,' showed them that, there was nothing left of their heaven-descended relic but the end of a burnt-out wick. 'As the reward of their• discovery these three Christians received the crown of martyrdom to gether."' In the summer of 1534 Calvin visited Strasburg, where Erasmus had long resided: " Calvin desired to sec him. He was beyond all doubt much more a man of compromises than Bucer; and from ti midity, rather than from principle, he inclined to the side of the papacy. He was, however, a great scholar; had he not published the New Testament in Greek ? Having left Basle at the mo ment of the triumph of the Reformation there, he happened just at this time to be at Friburg, in Brisgan, on the road from Strasburg to Switzerland. Could Calvin pass so near the town where he lived who had 'laid the egg' of the Re formation, and not try to see him ? A writer of the sixteenth century has given an account of the interview be tween the two men who—one in the department of letters, the other in that of faith—wero the greatest personages of the day. Bucer desired to accompany Calvin and_ intro_dime him to Erasmus. The precaution was almost necessary : the old doctor was ratting, wishing to die in peace with Rome. Paul. 111 had hardly been proclaimed Pope, when he who had kindled the fire offered: his good services to him, in order to maintain the faith and restore peace to the church. His letter quite charmed the crafty Pontiff. I know,' Paul answered, c bow useful your excellent learning, combined with your admirable eloquence, may be to me in rehcuing many minds from these new errors.' The Pope even had some idea of sending Erasmus a cardi nal's hat. " Calvia had not chosen his time well, yet Erasmus received him, though not without some little embarrassment. The young reformer, eager to hear the oracle of the age, began to ask him nu merous questions on difficult points. Erasmus, fearing to commit himself, was reserved,. and gave only vague an swers. His interlocutor seas not dis cou.raged. Had not the scholar of Rotterdam said that the only remedy for the evils of the church was the intervention of Christ himself? That was precisely Calvin's idea, and there fore following it up, he explained his convictions with considerable energy. Erasmus listened with astonishment. He perceived at last that the young man would not only go farther than himself, but even than Luther, and would wage a merciless war against all human traditions. The scholar to whom the Pope had offered the Roman purple became alarmed; he looked at Calvin in astonishment, put an end to the con versation, and approaching Bucer whis pered in his ear : Video magnam pestem oriri in Ecclesia contra Bcclesiam Eras mus broke with the French reformer as he bad broke.' with the German reform er. The two visitors withdrew. - NONE OTHER NAME. BY REY. W. FLEMING, sitylorsorr, RATEGAR A blind man sat reading on London Bridge. His seat was in the corner, and his voice was scarcely audible above the roar of the traffic. But a group of half aclozen was always round him halting for a moment and passing on. Mr. X. was a man of brilliant parts, who had dropped slowly down into almost utter scepticism. As he passed by the bridge, the blind reader came to the words, "None other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." .None other name : it echoed softly in his ear. It came echoing back through the day. It came at night. He had thought to have got rid of this name : that it was a superstition. Now, it troubled him, and would not depart. He had trusted to other names. What if it were possible that there was no other'? He tried to escape from the conclusion, flew away to the country, and returned to find the sentence still haunting him. And at last he yielded to the name of Jesus. Thera is no other name. But men CALVIN AND ERASMUS say there are others. Here are some of them. BAAL.—When the heathen priests met Elijah on Mount Carmel, they called on the name of Baal, saying 0, Baal, hear us. Baal was their dod—a god fashioned by their worldliness, their keen sense of pleasure, their vain ima ginations. He was to let them do what they , pleased, till there come sorrow or danger, and then they were to call upon his name. Men do not now call _their God Baal. The world is vastly improved and ,enlightened. Yet somehow they still have false gods, though they keep them, like Rachel's idols, hidden among the stuff. In pain or anguish, they may be still heard saying to them-0, hear us! Save us! In sickness, they call on health ; in poverty, on riches; in straits, upon good fortune; in death, upon the living; when their souls are troubled, on their respectability and good nature; the weak upon the strong, the lowly upon the noble. Yet there is no voice, nor any that regardeth. These Baal names of the world are mere names, phantoms' echoes, of tnen's cries. PRIVILEGE.—We have Abraham to our Father. We have our national blessings, our pure Churches, our excellent confes sions. Privilege throws open the tem ple of God ; give us Sabbath service and Sabbath thoughts;-puts the Word in our hands; gives us pious parents, goodly training, faithful pastors : "Pulpits and.Sunda * ys, sorrow dodging sin. * Bibles laid open, millions of surprises, Blessings beforehand, ties of gratefOness, The sound of glory Tinging -in our ears,. Without,.our shatne, within our brinscierices, Angels and grace, eternal hopes - and fears. * Yet all their fences, and their *Vole array, . One cunning bosom-sin blows quite away. Privilege is,iciod if we live aecording to it ; it is 'only•coildemnalloii if we trust to it. The pure Church, the Apostolic order, the faithful ministry, do'not save, though many take a proud stand upon them. It is but boasting that we are the children of Abraham ; and " God is able of these stones to raise np children unto Abraham." ORKS.-" 1 am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers; I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that .I possess. And I thank God for it: and God knows that is true. Let me turn back into life, and bring together all the good I have done; reflect how regular and scrupulous I am, how dili gent to every duty, how ready to make sacrifices, how full of excellent inten tions, how far I have outstripped my neighbors." These are beautiful jewels, so long as we make them, test them, and praise them. There is another test. Will they bear the scrutiny of the Refiner and Purifier, w i hose eyes are as a flame of fire, and nothing is hidden from His sight ? If they will not, there is no comfort in them ; and who dare say they will? A man is not justified by the works of the law; for by the works of the law shall no man be justi fied. BELlEF.—Driven from other shifts, we _hide here. " I believe the Scrip tures;'l believe that it is nothing to have Abraham to our father; that Baal is simply an idol ; that as many as are of-the works, of the law are under the curse. I believe that Jesus is the only Saviour; and it is all in God's Word. I believe what I have been taught from the Bible; what I read in it; what ..I hear from the minister. I never had a doubt about it." "No doubt," probably because there is no thought. What difference does this belief make ? Where is your repent ance, your love, your* dying daily ? Beyond a few formalities, is there any thing to separate you from the mass of men ? That belief of yours is dead, and nothing will spring out of it. You might as well call for help upon a dead man. Favorite preacher, favorite doc trine, clearness of knowledge, accuracy of perception, soundness, religious tastes, religious feelings—there is no salvation in these. But there is in Jesus. - Gracious name, which God bath ex alted above every other. Name of all sweetness and. divine compassion, fra grant as precious ointment poured forth, "honey in the mouth, a song in the ear, a jubilee in the heart;"* name of all human endearment, name of all infinite majesty; whispered in our temptations, peace and blessing in our trials, hope among the shadows, rod and staff in the valley of death, the glory of our glory; name of Christ's pity and God's truth, our safety, refuge, and abiding place; name of salvation, in which every knee shall bow—who shall not fear Thee, and glorify Thy_ holy name? Dear name ! the Rock on which I build, My shield and hiding place, My never-failing Treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace. By thee my prayers acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled; Satan accuses me in vain, And I am owned a child. * Bernard of Clairvaux drertivemtuto. le V. CADMUnf No. 736 Market Street, S.
