A Remarkable Pulpit

The Mechlin cathedral pulpit is regarded as the secoiid finestin the world, the finest haring been done by the same artist f or the cathedral iu Brussels. The writer, who has seen both, white admitting points of snperiority in that of Brussels, prefers this, -which is in the cathedral at Mechlin. It is made of oak, and the figures of Christ and of the women are life size. The sounding board ia fonned by oak leaves twined with those of a !,Tapevine. The stem of the latter risos naturally from the ground at the entrunee to the piulpit, which is apparenciy hewn out of a rock. The preacher stands under the shadow of the leaves, the cross at his rightvluuid. Below him and in front of the pulpit, forming a part of the base, is a horse which lir.s thiown its rider. It looks as though some impious horseraan had approached Calvary heedlessly and bcon hui'led to destruction over a precipice. The explanation of the design is not given by the guide at the cathedral nor in any book, so visitara and regular worsliipcrs are at liberty to interpret it to please
