Morning Work.

Lord Egremont once invited Turner
to stay week at Petworth and paint
two pictures for him of some favorite
bits of scenery on the estate. On the
first morning of his visit Lord Egremont
asked Turner what he would like to do,
and the great painter replied he would
go fishing.
The next morning at breakfast Lore
f.. inquired again what it shonld please
Mr.. Turner to do; aud he replied that,
having enjoyed himself so much yester-
day, he would go fishing again.
On the third morning Lord T.. thought
he would wait for Turner to announce
his own plans, and was greatly amused
when he quietly said he was going fish
ing.
On the fourth morning, Lord Z. un.
able to conceal his anxiety, said:
"Well, Mr.. Turner, / am only too
glad for you to enjoy yourself, but you
are talking of going away tomorrow,
and felt anxious about the pictures"
Come up stairs to my room," said
Turner, "and set your mind at rest"
Nothing could.exceed the surprise and
delight of Lord Egremont when Turner
introduced him to two exquisite pictures
painted as he desired. The great man
had risen each morning with the sun,
and before breakfast had, by good
days work, earned his pleasure in fish
ing.
