Death was dealing with Domenico his

Demenico fingered until the middle of
the next day, and then expired, without
pam or struggle, in the arms of the heir of
his secret. That very day, to the sur.
prise of all, Castano set to work with
vehement energy, and the picture was
finished with coloring of extraordinary
richness and brilliancy, and of the same

The shout from the pupils, whom he

master of the secret. for which they knew
not that he had paid such a price, was
hushed into dead silence as they sazed
on him. Instead ofthe triumphant glance
of successful art, they met the despairing
look of that sunken eye; instead of the
cheerful accents of hope offuture uncheck-

in Which he told them his work was for
ever ended-his purpose forever broken
off; and instead of proud, self-gratulation
and naughty consciousness of being their
master, and henceforth unrivaled amid
his cotemporaries, there came confession
of his wretchedness and guilt, and solemn
warnings to beware of the sophistry that
deludes into the belief of exceptional ex-
emption from keeping the universal and
immutable law of God in fancied peculi-
