He expected friends to arrive by the diligence, and he set out some time before it was due tp meet it on the road. Hating a good deal of time to spare, he amused himself by watching any object of interest that caught his eye and at length stopped j er who, mounted on a ladder placed v iiopvrv ( tiic uucrauuui or m naillL a .,nnt ttio iront or a wayside inn, was 1, isilv employed in depicting a I "g" suitable to its name, 'The Eis- I'he critic commenced walking backward and forward before the inn, thinking that he might as well loiter there for the diligence as walk on farther. The painter meantime continued to lay on fresh coats of the brightest blue, which appeared to aggravate the old gentleman very much. At length, when the sign painter took another brush full of blue paint to plaster on, the specta tor could endure it no longer and exclaimed severely: . "Too much blue!" The honest painter looked down from his perch and said in that tone of forced calmness which an angry man sometimes assumes : "Monsieur does not perceive that I am painting a sky." "Oh, yes, I see very well yon are trying to paint a sky, but I tell you again there is too much blue." "Did you ever see skies painted without blue, Master Amateur f "I am not an amateur. I merely tell you in passing I make the cas ual remark that there is too much blue, but do as you like. Put on more blue if you don't think you have troweled on enough already." "But I tell you that I want to represent a clear blue sky at sun rise." "And I tell you that no man in bis senses would make a sky at sun rise "blue." "By St. Gudula, this is too much 1" exclaimed the painter, com ing down irom nig ladder, at no pains this time to conceal his an ger. "I should lile to see how you would paint skies without blue." "I don't pretend to much skill in sky painting, but if I were to make trial I wouldn't put in too much Tlue." "I tell you what, old gentleman," cried the insulted artist, crossing hit maul slick over his shoulder and looking very fierce, "I dare say you are a very worthy fellow when you are at home, but you should not De let out alone," , , "Nonsense!" exclaimed the critic as he snatched the palette from the DainterV hand. "You "deserve to have your portrait painted to serve for the sign of'Tne Jflemisn assi In his indignation he mounted the ladder with the activity of a boy and beoi; with the palm of bis han f io c aee tne cnei a oeuvre oi iQffran Louw'g" great-grandson f ! third f ousin. , 'v."StopI You old charlatan!" il pitted the latter. "You are rutn- g my aign! Why, it'i. worth 85. francs! And, then, my reputation --lost, gone forever!" S He shook the ladder violently to xnake his persecutor descend, but the latter, undisturbed either by that or bv the presence of a crowd pf villagers, attracted by the dis pute, continued mercilessly to blot out the glowing landscape. Then, using merely the point of his finger and the handle of . brush, he sketched in masterly outline three Flemish boors, with beer glasses in their hands, drinkinr to the rising , aun, which appeared above the bori- ' ton, dispersing tne gioom oi a giaj- ish morning sky. One of tie faces ! presented' a strong and laughable 'caricature of the supplanted sign painter. The spectators at nrst were greatly disposed to take part with their countryman jaRatiiist the in trusive stranger. What right had he to interfere? There waa no end to the impudence of these foreign ers. , , , . v:Aa, however, they watched and grumbled the grumbling gradually .tuI was turned into a mur mur of approbation when the design H-.ma annarent The owner of the inn was the first to cry "Bravo!" and even Gerard Douws cousin y n hi. fin tiitia time removeu oi 'j imiiiii ilnem into admiration.

"No," quoth mine host, "for it is already sold and even partly paid for in advance. However, if mon sieur wishes to come to an arrange ment about it it is with me that he must treat." "Not at all, Hot at all," returned the Flemish painter of signs. "It belongs to me. My fellow artist here gave me a little help out of friendship, but the picture is my lawful property, and 1 am at libertv to sell it to any one I please." "What roguery!" exclaimed the innkeeper. "My Rising Sun' is my property. Fastened on the wall of my house, how can it belong to anybody else? Isn't it painted on my boards? No one but myself ha the smallest' right to it." "I'll summon yon before the mag istrate r cried he who bad not painted the sign. "I'll prosecute yd for breach of covenant," retorted the innkeeper, wno naa nan paid lor it, "One moment," interposed anoth er energetic voice, that of the inter loper. "It seems to me that I ought to have some little voice in this business." "Quite right, brother," answered the painter. "Instead of disputing on the public road, let us go into Master Martzen's house and arrange the matter amicably over a bottle of wine." To this all parties agreed, but I am sorry to say they agreed in noth ing else, for within doors the dis pute was carried on with deafening confusion and energy. The Flem ing contended for the possession of the 'painting, and the Englishman repeated his offer to cover it with gold. "But suppose that I dont choose to have it sold?" said its real au thor. "Oh, my dear monsieur," said the ; innkeeper, "I am certain you would not wish to deprive an honest, poor man, wno can scarcely mage ootn ends meet, of this windfall. Why; it would tust enable me to lay in a good stock of wine and beer." Dont believe xim, brother," cried the painter. "He is an old miser. 1 am the father of a family, and, being a painter, you ought to help a brother artist and give me the preference. Besides, I am ready to share the money with you. "Het" said , Master Hartzen. "Why, he's an old spendthrift who has no money left to give his daugn ter as a marriage portion because he spends all he eets on himself. "No such thing. , My Susette is betrothed to an honest young French cabinet maker, who, poor as she is, will marry her next Septem ber." , "A daughter to portion 1" ex claimed the stranger artist. "That quite alters the, case. I am content that the picture should be sold for a marriage portion. 1 leave it to our English friend's generosity to fix the sum. ' - "I have already" offered," replied the best bidder. "100 guinea for the sketch just as it is. I will glad lyigive OO for it if the painter will consent to sign it in, the corner with one word. . . C'What word?" exclaimed all the disputant at once. (The Englishman replied: , . !"Meissonier." . The 2 whole party were quiet enough now, for they were struck dumb, with astonishment The sign painter held, his breath, glared with his eyes, frantically clasped, his hands together and fell down on hi knees before the great French painter. "Forgive me!" he exclaimed. "Forgive me for my, audacious ig norance. jueissower laughed heartily and, Uiipk his, band, shook it with fra ternal cordiality. , 'At that moment the friend whom hef was expecting arrived.

When Fredrika Bremer, the Swed ish novelist waa traveling in Amer ica she took the liberty of talking with all kinds of strangers and ask ed kindly but very personal ques tions. One day in going from New York to Washington, aays Lippin ootfa Magazine, she sat beside a young mechanic, and in her desire of obtaining information began to question him; "What is your name ?" , "Jonathan Brewster, mum." ., "How old are you?" "Just twenty-four, mum." "Are your parents living V "No, mum.." "Are you married?" "No, mum." "What work do you dor "I am a bricklayer, mum." "How much do you make at your trader" "Two dollars a day, mum." "You do not drink, I hope ?" "No, mnm ; I'm a teetotal." Then, to her amusement the young workman turnedLout and ?ltj!f.?mluelM.V0-hei.- frankness and good nature, and at Philadelphia, where she waa to stop over, she left him. - That day after dinner a waiter came to her in the hotel with the information that a young man wanted to see her.

On my initial trip as commercial rda in England a told me that I must s kind friend state I "commercial" on entering an inn, and he added that the "commercial" room had peculiar customs. Arriv ing on a morning train in a famous university town, I waa soon in the courtyard of an old fashioned inn, which had been recommended as the best commercial hotel. I was wel corned by the "boots" and directed to a "commercial room "Private." marked 1 The f "commercial "v dinner ,was served promptly at 1 o'clock or at 1 :15. Should twentv "commer cials" be stopping at the house and but one be present at this dinner hour the .soup is served. It was a few momepts after the hour when, I re-entered the "commercial room" to find sixteen seated at the long tar pie, now covered wun wnne linen and decorated with flowers. At the head of the table, engaged in serv ing the soup, sat Mr. President, who occupies .this position , by virtue of having remained in the hotel lon ger than any other person 'present, and at the other end is Mr. Vice, the iecond in length of stay. - This I did not then know. !

"Why, of course, tliey cried, "we d know Jim anywhere; a brown horse with a white nose." Takeh to the stable, they found themselves confronted with innumerable brown horses, all of whose noses were white. "Horses look terribly alike with their har ness off," confessed the girls, "but,' brightening, "our horse knows his name. Jim ! Jim!" At the sound one of the brown beasts stretched out his neck and neighed intelligent ly. "That'a he!" cried the girl. "Good old Jim knows us even if we don't know him. Besides, now we look at him closely, we recognise his expression." "Well," said the pro prietor, "if you re sure it s your horse The girls drove off and finished their tour successfully, though ones or twice Jim gave, evidence of man nerisms that they had not remarked before.
