 That afternoon the painter came, and was admitted to the library, where Dayid Reardon was await ing him.
 The members of the Black Dla- mond Coal Exchange had recently finished spacious hall ill which to hold thelr meetings, and when the question of furnishing came up It had been decided that the wall should be adorned with portraits of the founders of chief patrons of the association. Foremost among the founders though not now an active member, was David Reardon, and a committee, appointed for that pur pose, had applied to hlm for his DO r. trait, and when he had given his as sent, they sent up to him an artist from the cltv to do the work,
 And thls was the "palnter' who had now made his appearance in the library. He was young man, not more than tive-and.twenty and his name, Albert Seymour He was of meuinm height, his frame strong, compact and symmetrical, hs motions easy and graceful, hIs bearing gentlemanly, without at- teetatlon, perfet and vigorous health giving grand foundation for his manhood. His features were strong ly marked and finely cut, giving to the tace beauty artistic and intel lectual, with the stamp of manful honor and integrity and not to be mistaken. The light of hls clear gray eyss was warm and penetra- tlnL and when he smiled in his joy his tIe shone like the sun. He was d,sr lover of his art, and lover of everything beautiful; and the love thattouehed hIs heart was strong and enduring. He had bsyen left an orphan Il an carly az 0 with money enough to secure hlm an education, and to support him Tn Europe, whore he had gone to study the old masters, and receive instruction from the new. He had returned to Philadelphia at the age of four and-twenty, with his httle patrimony exhausted, and for n year he had been diligently at work with his brush, during winch time more than one connoisseur had found him out and appreciated hlm.
 The artist, as soon as he had en- tered the library and greeted his host, made himself perfectly at home, just as he would have done in his own studio. For tho tune, while professionally employed, he regarded himself as master of tho situation, entitled to direct aud control. He brought his canvas and easel from closet where they had been put, and proceeded at once with his work.
