The Eelatlsn Uetween Art and Nature.
Kj A. 51. Vlven. Heading, Pa.
"We aie told that nature finds itsculmin itsculmin
aiien hi man ; that man was made from
the dust of the earth, and that after hav
ing the Incnth eflife breathed into him
he became the image of Ged. llence
man is of a double natuic, or as Yeung se
bcv.utifuily expresses it :
Frem dtfleienl natures marveletisly mixed,
Conn x:en exquisite et distant werlds:
Distinguished link in being's endless chain 1
Midway Irem nothing te Deity 1"
V.'hile man is both physical and spiritual,
his spiritual also is threefold the will,
which seeks it&hcultfiful existence in the
geed, the intellect in the true, and the
phantasy in the beautiful. Just as natur
ally as the body stiuggles for its nourish
ment se does e.ich patt of his spiritual
natute. The phantasy seeks insatiatelv
for the beautiful, and when it fails te find
it, it becomes lean and diseased. There
is a vi e:i;r done, and the contaminating
eilectsaie felt by the whole spiritual na
ture. Hence the beautiful, one and the
i..:nic with that Divine trinity, "the geed,
the tine and the beautiful," is what the
at ti.stie side of man's nature feasts upon.
But the beautiful cannot be enjoyed as
.such, for it has no objective self-existence ;
theicfeie it must be represented, and al
though it is of an infinite quality it must
be lepicscnted finitely se as te be received
by the senses into the soul.
.Natuic and ait arc very often unjustly
cjbaideicd. When wc compare the beau
til til in ait te that in nature wc
take uatme at a disadvantage. Art is
intended for beamy ; that and that only
is its aiiii. Nature was made for mere".
Hut the fart that she was net made for
the aitist alone is evident from her ever
changing condition. She is never the same,
and although she may present what is
beautiful te r.s at times it is net se as an
end, for she .seen deploys it. Seme geed
author says: "The delight of the artist
in the idc.il feini is that it premises some
finality amid the endless maze of
matter; and this completeness iu art.
which is beauty, whether it happen te exist
or net, is never aimed at by nature. Na
tuic istiiiwcaiictliii pieducing, but negli
gent of the product se far as beauty is
concerned. The earth and the air hasten
tocenveit themselves into a plant, the
flower into fruit, the fruit into llesh.and
the animal at last te die and give back
again te the air and the eatth what they
h e tiati'mittcd te her.''
We find natuic then an inadequate me
dium for the beautiful. Ait takes up na
ttup whcie she fails, and completes the
weik. Ait, however, is net an imitation,
hut a picientatien of nature and far fiem
niese imitation of the natural.
In the first place the tnic artist willal
wajs bj governed by whatRuskin calls ''a
pare motive"' he will be conscientious, an:l
will seek te accomplish what is substan
tia!, honest and Luc, and will ever avoid
catering te the perverted tastes of the peo
ple for their praise. In short the true
at tist will l.iise himself above the things
ertime, and will take up a world mere
leal than this for his habitation. I knew
itisiiattttcth.it he is dependent upon for
ma'crials, but as geld when taken from
the eaith is net what it is after it has un
dergone the skill of the mechanic, se
natuic changes under the genius of the
artist. After having formed his ideal he
watches natusc. grasps the beauty in Iter
as she p.tsses in her hurried revolution,
and with his divining wand strips it of its
unessential simeundings of time a space,
antl places it bcfeic us as "a thing ef
beauty and joy forever," and still some
one may say "it is only nature after all,"
and it istiuc, it is only nature, but it is
uatme icdccmed, nature regenerated,
natuic reanimated by spiiit.
It is argued, however, that "if we don't
ji.iint naluie as she is we are false te her."
lint hcic we can say with Wallace Bruce
we tender unto C.vsar the things that arc
Cicsar's ; the length and breadth of the
fields we leave te the surveyor, the study
of the starry worlds te the astronomer, the
analysis of the human frame te the physi
cian, but the emotions and aspirations of
the divine in man wc leave te the aitist.
Ne mathematical exactness is necessary te
be i i no te natuic.If a work of art was great
in se far as it was exact then there would
be no need of ait, for nature herself ismerc
cencct in that paiticular than art can ever
j e present her. Fer ait te paint nature as
she is means only te be false te both, what
is wanted is that there shall be greater di di
lcetnrss te beauty than nature has. Art
niu-t relieve it of its ebseuiity.
We have have hc.ud it conceded that
" in landscapes painting art probably is
Mineiiorte natuic, but when it tries te
paint the human it fails it can net paint
the flush upon the cheek nor the human
eye a nature has them." But arc these
the end and aim of ait? We answer that
there is something back of these an indi
viduality in the man that he seeks te pres
ent te us. We have many- paintings of
our Saviour and the Madenna ; but in be
holding these de we leek for any peculiar
lltth upon the check or expression of the
e;.e that he may have had at any particu
lar time '? Or is it the general expression
of thee that tends te give us the individ
ual Christ, that wc leek for ? It is the
.spirituality of the eye that the artist aims
at. and net the physical. He docs net have
te anatomize or te examine microscopi
cally the physical organization of the eye
as the oculist. True, he must study the
science, as he must all sciences, but, as
Visher says, he must study it only te for
get it, net te use it. It is said, however,
tliat all the paintings of Christ differ, and
it can easily be accounted for in the fact
that each artist formed his own ideal and
painted accordingly. Yet, though the dif
ferences may be noticed, we vcntuic te
say that in the true artists it is the simi
i.iiity that is meie striking. But wemttst
net lese sight hcic of what the true artist
will de in order te represent Christ te us.
lie will endeavor te get a proper concep
tion of his life and character through a
ceaseless study of his history. And he
will de this with a love and an insatiate
dcsiic te paint something that will faith
fully represent Ids Saviour. It becomes a
part of his life. Kc docs it with a pure
and holy motive, and with the knowl
edge of the sacrcdncss of his subject.
And net until he docs this can
he be classed among the great ar
tists. And new, if we be allowed te deviate
some, may we ask what position docs art
held iu this age ? Ti ue, it is net appre
ciated as it de32i".'Cs, nor will it be se lenz
as this idea of the practical rules the pces,
pie. It is the physical that is the upper
most. Bread and butter is the all-absorbing
topic. And iu this endless, universal
stiugglc, beauty is trampled under feet,
the spirit is almost dead, and humanity be
comes a surging animal mass. Could wc
but step men in their hurried strife for
tclfand pelf, and have them realize that
there is an existence beyond the ear of
sound and eye of sense, semetliin-
mere than flesh and bleed if we could
but lift mau up te the proper enjeymsnt
efhisspiritu.il life, what a fitting" vesti
bule would this existence form te the goal
that lies hpvnnfl !
But we would net totally depreciate this
age. c believe it nils an important place
in the history of art. It is an age for
gathering valuable materials for success
ive ages. "Wc may say that we are in a
transition state, and when we shall have
merged fully into a mere glorious period,
then these materials will be taken up and
regenerated and revitalized as they never
were before.
We believe the world is growing better
anil wiser, anu since nerlectiea in art has
never been reached, and since stagnation
is impossible in human nature, and retro retre retro
gicssieu is contradictory te history, wc
can but conclude that the inevitable is
progression. "We believe there is a period
iu the futuie that will reveal the hidden
beauties that new lie about us. iu a form
mere vivid and ideally real thin iu any
previous age. And when that time shall
come iTftiie history of the world, when
spirit shall held sway, then will man ap
proach the design of his creation, and the
dove of Divine favor will perch upon hu
manity's brew asa token of love from Ilim
who made us.
Au Old Politician.
Detroit Free Press.
A real clean, nice-looking old couple
were at the Union depot yesterday te take
a train going south. The husband was
nearly 70 years old and pretty lively, and
the wife was only a year or two behind
him, with a voice that in?aui business
every time she opened her mouth. Their
was considerable political talk around the
depot, and the old man at once became in
terested. " I've been ever in Caind.i iu the weeds
for the last two weeks, and I hain't heard
a thing,"' he explained. "Is the -lectien
ever with?"
"Yes," replied one of the men.
"Many liets and knock-downs?"
" Thousands of them."
"I used te be the worst i:na ?.w,i:iil
the polls you ever m.c,"' continued the
old gent as he spit en his hands. " I've
seen the time it took four constables te
held me."
"Peter, what aie jett deiu.j here?"'
asked the old lady as she suddenly ap
peared. "Finding out about neiitie-."
"What kind?"
"All kinds.'
"Well, you let politics alen
into the waiting room."
and
co tne
"Purtysoen. Se they had riots and
knock downs, eh ?
Lord ! den t I widi I
had been around ! '
"Peter !" called the wife.
"Yes, I'm here. I suppose the candi
dates set up the diinks didn't they ?"'
"Oh, yes."
"Great shakes ! But I wish I'd been
ever here. Take it alen;; about 40 veais
age and after I had three diinks down it'
took the whole Whig paity te held me. '
My great held was in cleaning out the ,
voting place and walking elf with the hall t
box.'
""Peter, I want you !" called the wife
"Yes, Nancy. Well, which sid"
I eter was choked oil light there. jN.tnc
;. t
get held of his color and lifted his heel
oft' the fleer, whirled him around, and
headed him for the waiting ream with the
remark :
' After you have lived with me another
40 years you'll learn that when I say Peter
I don't mean Paul ! The idea of you stand
ing out here talking politics when we've
get te leek around for a piece of bed ceid
te tie that satchel up, or lese half our
duds ! Pike !"
When they came out te take the train
the old man had his eye eitt, and seeing
the man who had answered his questions
he asked :
" Who did you say was 'elected?"
lie was yet en the last word when tlu
who brought ncr i and cewn en top Ins
head with the exclamation :
" Shet up !"'
That "shot" him. ile looked back unce
with a sorrowful, injured air, but she
punched him in the back with th; box and
he humbly entered the car and was diivcn
into the scat en the side next te the daik
wall.
Tragic Death of a Hunter.
He Kills Four Hears and l)In from
the
AVuuiKts Receil el In the Fl-jlit.
Jerry Greening, a noted hunter of Pike
county, P.i.. who for lift j' ycats has been
making war upon the wild animals of the
section between the Susquehanna and Del
aware rivers, has at lat fallen a victim.
He left his cabin en the 22d of November.
and a friend, who was also a hunter, ascci
taining that he had net returned, two days '
afterward set out en a hunt for him, with
two or three neighber.3. The dogs were j
put en the scent, and in the centre of a
swamp, en a little knell covered with
spruce trees, were found the bodies of four
large bears, with bloody gashes upon their
hides. In the midst was the disjointed
skeleton of a man, which they seen identi
lied as that of the old hunter. A survey
en the ground showed that Jerry had met
the bears, and in fighting them received
wounds that caused his death, but net be
fore he had inflicted mortal injmies upon
the bears. The remains of Jerry had fur
nished a feast subsequently toether carniv
orous animals. His friends collected the
bones, his gun, knife, tobacco box a'nd
ether articles, and carried them te Jerry's
hut. One of the bears was skinned
and converted into a tempo
rary sack for the remains. His funeral
took place en Sunday, the sermon being
conducted by an aged may named Men ill,
who had long been a friend and frequent
visitor te Jerry's hut. The rude coffin
was deposited in a grave en the summit of
a hill overlooking a beautiful mountain
landscape. A slab of sl.xti marks the
spot, with the following inscription
scrawled in rude letters : " Here lays the
bones of Jerry Greening. lie was cat by
Bears in the Big Swamp en the 20 day of
nevember, 1880. His seal is in Heaeu."
The deceased was a native of Tennessee,
and was born in 1800, his parents being
English and among the earliest settlcis of
his native state. His parents were lich
and he was educated in a Southern insti
tution, but wa3 driven from home because
he refused te marry a girl selected by his
parents. His hut was filled with trophies
of the chase. There were 3S1 bear tails.
224 fox cars, 348 wild-cat paws and -122
rattlesnake fangs. He was the owner of
many costly little prcsents,ivcn te him by
members of the "3Iinsi Pioneers," a so
ciety of wealthy Philadclphians, whom he
had often guided ever the game region
with which he was se well acuti.iinted.
The Stene Child.
Death of a Unman Wonder.
Fer a long time past medical men, as
well as the public at larcc of northern
Ohie, have been astenishsd at the contin
ued existence and growth of a child of A.J.
Kniacly, of New Philadelphia, whec flesh
was as hard as stone. All efforts te ren
der the little one like ordinary chil
dren proved unavailing, although
Itro sums of money were spent
.'n the attempt. Prominent show
men heard of the phenomenon and offered
te give an immense amount for the privi
lege of exiiibitiug the child, but this the
patents would net allow, although it was
treated in the p;esencc of prominent phy
sicians and medical men in Cleveland. At
length the singular being has died, and
tne uesire en the part of doctors an i
elhers te get possession of the body is se
great that it has been placed by the parents
:u a strong vault, which is constantly
guarded by faithful watchmen. The child
is creating as much sensation dead as liv
inir. Judge Black

Gentlcuien : I have been notified of my
election as a member of your association.
Accepting the honor with many thanks, I
join with alac.ity and premise, te be as use
ful as I can. I need hardly say that associ
ations like yours may be made te serve'
most important practical purposes. The
mere piofessien of sound doctrines, and
the piomuJiraUen of them, en the eve of
an exciting election, are inefiecfual meth
ods of making them successful. The
whole armor of truth cannot be buckled
en in a minute, and if the fight catches
us naked and unprcpired, wc must ox ex
pect te be worsted. It is wise te beciu as
e.uly as possible te consider and te spread
the piinciples which are te save us when
.a-.ieiiier assault snail oe made. l.uilil up
the barriers new while there is yet time,
and entrench yourselves against strong
government, which means despotic rule,
weak laws and helpless people. This can
not be done without some patient labor
?nd the careful diffusion of sound prin
cipies line upon Hue and precept upon
precept here a little and there a little,
confirming our own faith and spreading it
a'oiead. Remember tee, that we need
some corrections ; for though the party of
Teficisen has never been untrue te itself,
it has very often made a half hearted de
fence. In moments of error and alarm,
v.e have sometimes departed from the
straight track. When wc find that te be
the case, let us retrace our steps and
come back without hesitation te the only
read that can lead us te peace and safety.
I find everywhere that Democratic as
sociations are forming for mutual instruc
tien m tltc things that make for the polit
ical salvation of the country. These
properly maintained, there will be no mere
divisions and no mere disasters.
Your obedient servant,
J. S. Black.
