    O Or Late Years, A New Phase In The Hist...

    sinks on his knees before Ms sire , embracing" the patriarch , and clenching his own right hand in an agony of remorse . Behind

    him stand a group of servants , bearing the new robes that are to replace the wanderer ' s ragsthe ring of honourand water

    , , to bathe the weary , wounded limbs . In the distance , another attendant leads the calf to the slaughter ; while the envious

    elder brother looks on scowling at the scene . The whole is painted with great purity and vigour , and very charming are the glimpses

    of Eastern landscape and bright tropical blue sky that form the background .

    Another lady , Miss Edwards , contributes a very touching scene , ( 65 , ) of a little neglected girl seated on the staircase by the open

    door of a room in which the mother is caressing a more favoured ¦ child ; another sketch , entitled " Nothing Like the Time Present , "

    ( 46 , ) where a little maid servant suspends her work to look into a novel she has picked up , is also very clever . Mr . Calderon sends a

    carefully painted picture , ( 176 , ) in which a lordly seigneur , in his progress through his castle halls , pauses mournfully before a portrait of

    a lost love habited in a nun ' s weed , while the fair chatelaine at his side looks distrustfully at his changing face . Mr . Roberts' " Long

    Sermon , " ( 122 , ) where an elderly woman with her grandson on her knee , have both succumbed to the soporific influence of the preacher ' s

    " linked sweetness long drawn out , " and Mr . C . J . Lewis ' s poetical illustration to Tennyson ' s " Breakbreakbreak" where a

    fisher-, , , man ' s young wife , with babe on breast , watches sadly through the twilight for the loved one ' s return , are also good pictures .

    There are two splendid landscapes by Vicat Cole , which , though smaller in size , may fairly challenge comparison with his noble

    " Cornfield , " exhibited in the International collection . One of these ( 106 ) represents a harvesting , with reapers busy amid the golden

    corn , some of which is gathered into sheaves , while the rest still stands uncut . The other ( 29 ) shows a hayfield , the labourers

    at their dinners beneath a spreading tree . The distant purple bloom of the _xi-pe waving grass , across which a swallow skims , and

    the foreground ridges of mown hay , are admirably given . Mr . Anthony ' s powerful " Glen at Eve , " ( 127 , ) with its sombre shadows ,

    and Mr . Lee Bridell ' s view near Tivoli , ( 194 , ) with its glowing sunset sky , complete the list of noticeable pictures at this

    Exhibition .
