"Well,' said Ben, slightly blushing,
if you insist upon my explaining the
picture, I suppose I will have to do it,
although [ have never yet had the honor
of lecturing before such an audience.
The painter, you see, did not intend to
represent cheerful view Of nature, but
rather gloomy sight of human life. or
else he would not have placed the house
in such prominent position, and the
woman SO conspicuous before the door,
The idea, then, is this. You glance at
the picture and the first object your eyes
meet is woman adorned in all the gay
trinkets and ribbons, dressed up in the
best which country life knows. She
looks into the vacant distance in the di-
rection toward the road opposite to the
lake. There is no passion, no expecta-
ton in her look she has simple mean
ingless eye. What else can you infer
but that she has desire to be seen. but
no wish to see any one in particular. A
few steps from her there lies child
asleep on the ground with it's head on a
block of wood in very uncomfortable
position. The child has not the healthy
nor the picturesque naturalness In its
dress which are represented on this copy
on the original copy the child looks
rather pale and it's dress very disorderly
IF the woman be mother or a sister Of
the child, her natural impulse should be
to 90 to the child and make it comforta-
BILE. But our we'll dressed lady stands
there, where she could not have failed
to see the child, and looks beyond it.
This conveys the idea of heartless vii
lage beauty, who wishes to be admired.
IF you compare the gaudiness of her
dress with the simplicity of her house
shanty I might call it-your opinion of
her gets confirmed. Now, on this side
the lake stretches before you, and you
see boat with single oarsman vanish
ing in the distance at a rapid pace,
How can you know whether the boat
moves rapidly or not?" asked Helen,
by the rufAes on the water, which
extend SO far" answered Ben. 'You see
by the prospective that the boat is so far
that no ruffles made by it's motion
would be seen. if it were moving slowly;
but the painter was careful to let you
see some in it's track. The lady does not
look in the direction of the boat; she is
consequently Indifferent to the rover,

On their way to the hotel Ben noticed
that Aaron was unusually reticent.
Say, Boz he said, they are nice
folks indeed, the Dulcets."
eyes, I think they are," replied
Aaron
'That Miss Dulcet is a very intelligent
girl"
Because she consented to everything
you said"
It'll tell you what, old fellow" said
Ben, II believe you like Miss Dulcet."
"You 60 to the deuce with your non
sense!" rejoined Aaron, quite provoked.
And what is more" continued Ben,
not needing his brothers anger, You
were sortof dissatisfied, jealous | might
say, when she paid some attention to
me"
"Will you desist with your foolish
ness?" said Aaron, angrily
''And what is more" continued the
Yaler, unconcernedly, II am mighty glad
of that, because this sentiment will cure
you of your eternal practical mania,
twill ennoble you-and Miss Dulcet isa
noble girl-and, by Jupiter, [ think you
are not worthy to get such an one!'
by G., I'll slap your face if you do
not desist, you scapegrace!" exclaimed
Aaron, in anger.
mo you won't, Boz, will your Ben
said, in coaxing manner, 1T would be
so very impractical for two brothers to
fight about the attention Of girl, and
especially when one is mere college
boy and the other man of the world "
Don't talk nonsence then" rejoined
Aaron.
II am sorry that [ have touched
gentle chord too roughly. | shan't do it
again, Boz. Now give me your paw and
let's be friends
Aaron smiled again, for he could not
withstand the coaxing and really amiable
ways of his brother. There was some
thing childish and sympathetic in the
young fellow which could win the great
est enemy back into friendship. When
he said that he was sorry he really
meant it, for he felt that he had touched
his brother rather not gently. But this
was no guarantee that he would not do
it again, for he could not resist his i'm
pulsive nature, and if thought struck
his mind he could not suppress it.

cuss of religious subjects. He was every
bodys pet, while Aaron was considered
hight toned gentleman and respected
for his tact and quiet demeanor and as
man of the world. At last Aaron was
quite recovered from his illness, all his
wounds were healed and he was ready to
go to work again. He resolved to leave
the city during the month of July, and
made arrangements to take Isaac Dudler
along and to put him into a business
house in Sharpensville wherein he had
an interest. During his sojourn in Hec-
toria, Aaron had not neglected to enter
into business connection with some of
the most important houses of the town.
One evening he came to the Dulcets to
take leave of them. He found Ben in
the yard playing croquet with the
ladies.
The game stopped at his arrival, as
they all knew for what purpose he came.
Ben was at his side and treated him with
all the warm affection which his ardent
nature was capable Of At nine o'clock
the train was to leave, and Aaron had
ordered his trunks to be taken to the de-
pot so that he would go thither directly
from Dulcet.s house. When he made
himself ready to go, Mrs. Helen said:
''And so you arc going to leave us.
We hope, however, to hear from you
again.
'Oh, yes" rejoined Aaron Il owe you
a debt of gratitude. You have made my
stay here very agreeable.
Don't mention it, Mr. Amere," said
Marcus Dulcet Il believe that you have
given US more pleasure than you have
derived from us.
"Certainly," said the old gentleman
And the next time you come to the city
you shall be our guest at the house. Of
course your brother will stay with us the
few weeks he intends to remain in the
city"
Il am very thankful" said Ben to old
Mr. Dulcet, but hardly think that | can
profit by your kindness. [ have to study
hard to catch up with my class at the
Commencement, and my rooms suit my
purpose exceedingly WE'LL L have all my
books there, and can work late in the
night without disturbing any one"
1T is not we'll becoming young man
like you to stay in hotel alone said
old Mrs Dulcet.
"You have to come to us, said Mrs.
Lena Dulcet I'VE will give you room in
ourhouse where you may do as you please
the night through without dis
turbing any one.
well, leave this matter entirely at
his option, said Aaron. "Good-for-noth
ing, as he is, [ am not afraid to leave
him wherever he chooses to be. | am
only afraid that he will trouble you too
much if he comes to your house. He is
perfect bore at times, he added, with
a smile.
Never mind, we shall not allow him
to worry us" said Mrs. Helen.
Aaron at last took leave of the hos
pitable family. Lille was quiet and
very reticent during the whole evening,
and when Aaron took leave of her, she
only asked him whether he intended to
be soon again at Hectoria, to which he
replied: perhaps. about next Decem-
ber." Ben accompanied his brother to
the depot.

Who is in that boat, if not the unfortu-
nate fisherman who has such nice wife,
and who is glad to be away from home in
order to avoid her sight and perhaps her
extortive demands. See that torn net
which hangs right near the lady. and the
ak and pieces of wood lying around on
the ground. If she were anything of a
housewife there is work for her to do; if
she we're anything of aoomaa,, the child
would be her first care But she is gaud-
lily dressed and looks vacantly in the
distance, probably wishing that some
one might come by the road and admire
her."
Lille listened to this explanation very
attentively, her eyes were fixed on him
and she followed every motion he made
and examined every object he pointed
out.
Really, did not understand the pic
ture," she said, musingly. "Ihave never
thought that there could be so much
meaning put into such painting"
"You yield your laurels too easily
said Helen to her. Every one has praised
the picture who has seen it, and now at
the first criticism you hear, you are ready
to admit that it is bad"
"You are mistaken, Helen; [ don't
yield without reason. All that Mr..
Amere has mentioned as substantial
points of the picture can be seen in the
copy; the ruff1es on the water, the sickly
looks of the child, it's uncomfortable po-
sition, and the disorder on the ground.
[ have ascribed this to bad print; now |
see that have not understood my sub
ject. I am really thankful to you, Mr..
Amere, for the interpretation you have
given us"
You need not feel discouraged about
your work, Miss Dulcet. The picture is
really nice; the perspective is almost
faultless; the colors are soft and harmo-
NOUS; you have intended to make nice
picture and you have made it-your
work is good.
"Inasmuch," "rejoined Lille, as [ have
given beauty to the picture and taken
out the soul of it.
Ben was admired by the company. He
was drawn in conversation by every one,
and his wit and sharp whim were dis
played to the best advantage. Old Mr..
Dulcet spoke to him on religious sub
iects and was quite delighted with his
conservative IDEAS But Lille, espe-
cially, had much to talk to him; she
asked him a thousand things on works
of art and of literature. Helen nick
named him the severe critic" and tried
to play some jokes on him, which by his
quick wit met with sharp repartees every
time to the great enjoyment of the COM
pany. In brief, Ben was the hero of the
occasion. When the company dispersed
and the two brothers left for the hotel,
they had to promise that they would
call again, and Helen insisted that Ben
should come some evening to play game
of croquet.
