WASHINGTON ALIsroN Soon after Allston,s
marriage with his first wife, the sister of the
ate DR.. Claiming, he made his second visit to
Europe. After residence there of little more
than year. his pecuniary wants became very
pressing and urgent, More SO than at any other
period of his life On one of these occasions, as
he himself used to narrate the event, he was in
i his studio, rejecting with feeling Of almost
desperation upon his condition. His conscience
seemed to tell him that he had deserved his
Affections, and drawn them upon himself by his
| want of due gratitude for past favors from
heaven. His heart all at once seemed filled
with the hope that God would listen to his
prayers if he would offer up his direct express

accordingly locked his door, withdrew to O.
II corner of the room, threw himself upon his
knees and prayed for loaf Of bread for himself
and his wife While thus employed knock
was heard at the door A feeling Of momentary
shame at being detected in this position, and
feeling of fear lest he might have been observed,
induced him to hasten and open the door. a
4 stranger inquired for Mr.. Allston. He was
Isanxious to learn who was the fortunate pur-
chaser of the painting Of Angel Uriel,p re-
Y garded by the artist as one Of his MASTER
.Lpieees, and which had won the prize at the
Iexhibition of the Academy. He was told that
it had not been sold. W

introduced himself as the M Marquis of Stafford
and he became from that moment one of the
warmest friends of Mr.. Allston. BY him Mr..
A. was introduced to the society of the nobility
and gentry; and he became one of the most
favored among the many gifted minds that
adorned the circle, in which he Was never fond
