yoa gentlemen to work from the commencement to the terra nation of the hoar of iostraation marlllo was too mo eh absorbed with bis penoll to allow a word to be spoken but what regarded their

sebastian ot the hen said mendez and watch for the culprit but give mo the naples 5 allow you do pot qeed it senor mendez you have made it yellow enough already and as to tbe oalprlt i have already told yoa that it is the zombi are these negroes fools or asses with their zombi said gonslo laughing fray what is tbe zombi oh ap imaginary being of conrse but uke care benor gonzalo continued sebastian with a mischievous glance at his easel for it must be tbe zombi who has stretched the left arm of yoor 8c john to suoh a length that if the right resembles it ho will be able to tie his shoe string without stooping do you know gnntlemen eald ietaritz aa he glanced at the paiutink that the remarks of sebastian are extremely just and much to tho point oh they say that negroes have the faoe ot an ape and the tongue ot a parrot rejoined gonzalo in a tone of indifference with this distinction observed ferdi nand that tbe parrot repeats by rote while sebastian has judgment in his remarks like the parrot by chance retnrned gonzalo who knows bald mendez who bad not digested the naples yellow that from grinding tho color he may one day astonish us by showing he knovfs one from another to know one color from another and to know how to pse them sue two very different things replied sebastian whom the liberty of the atndio allowed to join in tho conversation ot the pupils and the truth obligee ns to confes that his taste was ao exqaleate hid eyo so oorreot that many of them did not disdain to follow tbe advice he frequently gave them respecting their painting although they sometimes amused themselves by teasing tbe little paulatto he whb a great favorite with them all and this evdning on quitting the studio eacb fflving him a friendly tap on the shoulder counselled hltn to

waa now silent as the grave a single lamp barned upon a marble table and a young boy whose sable hue harmonized with the surrounding darkness bat whoie eyes eprklcd like diamonds at midnight leanca againat an easel immovable and still he waa ao deeply absorbed fn his meditations that the door of tbe studio was opened by one who several times called him by name and who on receiving no answer approached and touched him sebastian raised his eyes whleb rested on a tall and hudaome nero why do yoa come here ftather said he in a melancholy tone to keep you company sebastian thero i no need father 1 can watoh alone but what if tbe zombi should come ul- do not fear him replied the boy with a pensive etnile he may oarry yoa away my eon and then the poor negro gomez will havo no one to console him lu bis slavery oh how sad bow dreadful it 14 to be a slave txolairaed the boy weeping hltterly it ik the will ot god replied toe negro with an sir of resignation god i ejaculated sebastian as he raised bis eyes to the dome of tbe stodlo throng which the stars glittered god 1 i pray constantly to him my father and he will one day listen to me that wo may be notonger slaves but go to bed

ttnitfh it scarcely had he ottered these word when seizing a palette ha seated himself at the easel and was aoon totally absorbed at bis occupation hoar after hour passed no headed by sebastian who

opens those eyes they pierce mo through i what a forehead i what deltoaoyl oh my beaotifal and sebastian forgot tbe hour forgot he was a slave forgot the dreaded ponlsbraeut all all waa obliterated from the soul of the youthful arttet who thought of nothing saw nothing bat bis beautiful picture but who can describe the horror and consternation of the unhappy slave when on suddenly taming round he beheld all the pupils with his master at their head standing beside him 1 sebastian never onoe dreamed of justify the tramps prayer ing himself and with hie palette la one hand and his brushes in

commission ot such a flagrant crime murillo aod his pupils were not less astonished at the d i boo very they bad made murillo having with a gesture of the hand imposed silence on his pupils who could hardly refrain themselves from giving way to their admiration approached sebastian and concealing his emotion said in a cold and severe tone while be looked alternately from tbe beautiful bead of tho

punishment sebastians heart beatoulok the word reward gave him a little ooarage bat fearing that his ears deceived htm be looked with timid and imploriog eyes toward his master a reward senor 1 orled

namely never to lose anything aud never to forget anything an old lawyer sent him with an important paper with certain instructions what to do with it bat inquired the young man sappose that i should

provision for each an occurrence yoa must not lose it this put a new train of thought into the young maua mind and he found that if he waa determined to do a thing he oonld dolt ha made each a provision againbt every contingency that he never loat anything he found that equally true about forgetting if a certain matter of importance was to be remembered be pinned it down on his mind fastened it there and made it stay he used to say when a man tells me that he forgot to do something i tell him he might as well have said i do not oare enough about yoor business to tako the trouble
