The surprise was as great te these who are commonly sup posed to keep in- formed concerning events in the world as to the pnblic at large.

It has been re- written many and from various motives. Within a few weeks tife first volume of an elab- orate work on the subject by Henry Ward Beecher has been published, but this and all the other lives we can now recall have been ages, served their character to recent times, indicate not only that the incidents of the life of Christ are susceptible of dramatic version, but that they make a drama for stage representation of Surpassing vividness and power. But such use of the sacred theme has been alien, and to some degree unpleasant, to English habite of religious thought. With this sentiment Mr. Longfellow’s new work will have to contend, but it would be dif- ficult to fuppose a more eonciliating manner than that whieh he has shown throughont the spirit and phrasing of the new poem. The di- roctness and force of the dramatic poem are courageously clung to, while @ severe restraint has been imposed on the fancy, the sim r the Gospel narrative steadily maintai anachtonisms of sentiment and imagi cautiously avoided. The spirit is deeply rever- ential, and the language keeps suprisingly close tothat of the English Seriptures. Ata recent gathering at the house ef Dr. Bartol, when the conversation turned upon a rewark that one test of any theory touching men’s souls and inner consciousness was that it could be sung, the poetical character of the lan- guage of the New Testament was referred to a8 evidence of the wixdem of the observation. Probably no one then present had any idea of the remarkable demonstration of this quality of the Gospel so soon to be made by a poet whose thorough evlture is in nothing more distin- guished than the delicacy of his sense of rythm and melody. Wherever the langnage of the poem departs from that of the sacred narratives there is no corresponding departure of style or tone. The poct has come into beautiful sym- thy with the Evangelist and his own words have shared in the tenderness and awe and geal which impart so much tenderness to irs. The drema opens appropriately with a dia- logue between the Angel of the Lord and the Prophet of Habakkuk, in which the angel re- veals to the seer a vision of the coming of the Redeemer. Then comes the preaching of John the Baptist, summoning the world to repent- ance. From this portion we make the following gutract: : epent | repent ! repent!

Beautifying the Complezion—A Terrible Warning to Young Girls who are Dissatisfied with what Nature has Done for Them. (From the San Francisco Chronicle, Now. 22. mn Wednesday morning last, a young git named El Yondy took strychnine at the residence of Hemry Mess, No. 2) John strect, trom the effeets of which she died. It appears that the unfortunate girl had been in the habit of eating chalk, taking solution of arsenic and other drugs for the purpose of clearing and beau- tifying her complexion, and at the same time stated she took a dose of strychnine under the impression that it was the drug which she had Deen in the habit of taking. Deceased was a native of England, aged twenty-three years. About «ne year ago she came to this ‘city from England, in the com- pany of Marion Deary, who is now employed as a domestic in the — of Mrs. iy Lapidge, at the Brevoort House, on street. ‘The latter formerly held ‘the position of ladies’ maid in the family of Lor Bate- man‘in Norwich, England, and it was during the shooting season that ‘she met Elenor at Donglas, Isie of Man, where Lord Bateman’s country seat is located. The father ot Elenor Vondy held the position of Superintendent of Wherries, and is well known throughoat the country. "The two girls became fast friends and finally resolved to come to California who were on their way to Victory. In due time they arrived in this city, and Marion ob- tained the situation which she holds at present. After remaining at a servant girls’ boarding- house on Fremont street for several days, Eie- nor succeeded in obtaining a situation in the family of Judge Loreuzo Sawyer through the exertions of Mrs. Lapridge, who, it seéms, took a warm interest in her. But she did not keep this long, and afterward was employed by Mrs. Henry Mess. Her complexion was not very clear or beautiful, but nevertheless she was not bad looking. When visiting her triend Marion she constautly talked about her complexion and expressed a wish to get hold of some solution of arsenic that beautifies the skin. On last Tues- day evening Mrs. Riess visited an apothecary’s shop and parchased the etrychnine for the urpose of killing rats, as she stated to the aren clerk. Mrs. Mess asked the clerk ‘if it would kill a two-legved rat,” and the clerk replied that would kill almost Elenor was in the company of Mrs. Mi the purelyase was made. Om Sunday evening previous to her death Elenor called upon her friend and they had a long conversation. She seemed very much depressed, and one after a long silence, broke out with: «‘ Ma- rion, suppose I should die, would you go in mourning for me?” She also remarked during the evening that she had arranged all her letters so that her affairs would be straight if she died suddenly. These facts seem to show that the girl had some idea of her apt cage J death, or that she was medi- tating suicide. Whether such was really the case or not will probably never be known. On Wednesday the took the bottle of strych- nine that was ostensibly purchased to kill rats, and took on the point of « penknife a small por: tion of the deadly drug—the most terrible in its effects on the human systemof all poisons. Im- mediately she was thrown into violent spasms and convulsions, and fer three hours she suf- fered the torments of the damned, when a phy- sician (Mr. Wilson) came to her relief.
