A PAINTERS GRATITUDE.

MI IER1S and Steen were the closest
lVl friends. 1t has been asserted that
Mieres often would touch up picture
for Steen, and together with Lievens
and Aug. de Vos, they often passed the
night in drinking at Stems tavern and
when the hosts ruin came, the friends
transferred their meetings and convivi-
ality to the nearest beer house.
One of these midnight revels nearly
cost Mieris his life, for separating very
late, and good deal under the influence
of the liquor they had drunk, the friends
started on their different ways
Mieris, passing over one of the bridges,
fell into the open sewer, and being too
much intoxicated to help himself intelli-
gently, being able to do nothing but call
for aid, came very near suffocating.
1t so happened that in the immediate
neighborhood there lived cobbler, who
was even at that late hour working, and
his wife was dutifully keeping watch
with him. She thought she heard cries
of distress, and bade her husband stop
his hammering and singing, that they
might listen, when, the sounds becom-
ing more distinct, the good couple took
their lamp and went into the street to
see who wanted aid. When they discov-
cred Mieris in his perilous position, they
speedily rescued him; and though won-
dering that man so finely dressed,
with silver buttons on his coat, should
be choking in the mud, they asked no
questions, but carried him to their home,
and when they had revived him, start
ed him on his homeward way.
Mieris, when he realized what his dan
ger had been, was ashamed both of his
adventure and tbs cause that led to it,
and forbore to tell his preservers his
name. He, however, wished to show
them some proof of his gratitude for
their timely aid, and began to paint for
them picture; butas the time he could
give to the work was only his absolutely
unoccupied hours, his progress was slow,
and it was full two years before his Ia
Dor was finished. Taking the picture,
carefully concealed under his cloak, he
sought the cobbler's house, where he
found only the wife at home, who evil
IDENTIFY did not recognize her visitor.
BY dint of skillful questions he dis
covered that though remembering the
circumstances of his accident, the wor-
thy couple had no idea of whom they
had been the rescuers. Placing the
picture on the table, he said in his gra-
cious manner: " Here, madam, accept
this as small token of. my gratitude
fro M the the unknown you so kindly as
sisted. If you would rather, at any
time, turn the picture into money, you
have only to take it to Mr.. Praat's,''
and giving the direction, he vanished,
without having told his name. The
cobbler and his wife showed the picture
to several OF their neighbors, and even
they, unlearned 10 art, declared II must
be worth good sum- The woman's
curiosity was excited, and she carried

the picture TO the burgomaster, JaevR
Vandermaas, in whose family she nAd
previously lived. He instantly fes>>z
nized Mieris' hand; and wondering at
finding snch gem In the possession otl
his old servant, questioned her as TO how
she had obtained 1t, and heard her sltI
gular story. He said he himself would
gives hundred ducatoons for the picture.
but added, generously, " Perhaps you
had better take IL to'-naming well-
known amateur" and ask him eight
hundred fiorins for the picture he viii
give them" The cobbler's wife found
this valuation was the correct one. TIN
dition does not tell us what the picture
was which owed its existence to The IN.
lucky consequences of midnight
revel.

as his wife, but before marrying she, at
Mr.. Fletcher's earnest request, executed
deed of gift, 10y which she transferred
her beautiful mountain glen to the ed-
tor of the Ashevllle Citizen, stipulating
that he should take care of her faithful
dog and cat as long as they lived and go
every summer to fish and hunt in the
wilds where she had so long resided
alone.-Ash, Uiiie, North Carolina, Cyti-
