He complied with the request, when she put the pistol in her^^rom. On his inquiring what she inWm tenth^^b do \\ irti it, she roplied that she had TOfc come all the way to Toronto, a distance of *100 miles froin her home, for the purpose of & ^tprocuring the liberation of her younger sis^Pter, who had been decoyed into a nunnery 0 for the second time. She had, after great * efforts, procured her freedom on the first occasion, but now, by some unaccountable means, the conductors of the nunnery had again got hold of her, and she herself had 0' become nearly distracted at the thought of their detaining the young girl, who is only 15 years old, and sho did not know what # evil might happen to her in such a place. Sho said she had determined to go to the _jnunncry, insist on the immediate liberation ^P>f hor sister, and if the iady in charge of thai 1 -establishmaut persisted in detaining her, she ^ had come to the conclusion of shooting her.

MY PUPILS. HV JOK, A JKHSEY ML'TE. As I feel just exactly at this moment like going overhead and ears into some sort 01 personalities, I'll take a-few minutes' leave of uiy leisure and go at iny class?digging into boys and girls, minds and tempers. If ye of the Enterprise step into my well ventilated room, will hold up your hands in amazement at the towering form of Sam, on being told that he is only 17 years of age. llis mind is rather weak, but he studies hard. Next this modern Goliath is seated an Irish boy rejoicing in the name of Gkougk; as weak minded, and less studious than his tallmeighbor. Quite an oddity in word and deed, he is a source of amusement to his more intelligent school mates. He came from Jersey, where his parents live. Willie looks a very baby. He is by no means smart; no fault of mine. His sister is also deaf; intelligent, bright-eyed, and much petted. Charlie is a semi-dunce ; never studios, looks this and that way while his teachers, lectures, pays no attention to his evening lessons, and, to cap tho whole, is a worthless scholar. He, however, writes a good hand. His sistor, who studies under another teacher, makes rapid progress in tho studies, I understand. Rk.V is A rrnrwl nrfmflo littlrt follow, wil.li little bruin; writes a clear hand, and improves a little. Never quarrels unless dreadfully provoked. Son, though at times lazy, writes well; could improve ; has a fine, intellectual forehead ; is only 12 years of ago?but looks younger. Come from Jersey. Alfred is a sinner all over but he looks remarkably well. Misehiovious and given to lying, his word cannot be relied on. but ho does not care a farthing for the world. His sister (in another class)**gets along well, so 1 am told. Annie speaks some, having lost her hearing in years of )'ore. She looks pleasant, skin singularly white, rather stout, and tall. She generally writes well; talks too much, yet in a lively way, and has the air of a well educated woman. Iler temper in school is good, but out of school, it is said to he the reverse. Janny is, I should suppose, five feet six inches in height, and is more lady like than any other mute girl I have taught. Pretty and modest, she is the favorite with her schoolmates. She is afflicted with dullness of comprehension, and makes a poor scholar in consequence. But she is remarkable for hor unaffected goodness of heart; she tries to please her toucher in everything, and often washes his room unsolicited, and without his know! edge. Sam-ikNo 1. (for therg are two Sallies in my class) is a gentle, modest, though h weak minded, young woman ; dark complexion and hiack hair. Always smiles when spoken to. IIasnau is a stout young woman with little or no brain, rather prepossessing in appearance; cannot write a story though she knows a number of words. Excessively bashful. HAnniKTT, ditto ditto. Mahy No. 1. Looks, and in fact is, an old woman. Weak in mind, and incapable of improvement, through alio is mistress of many words. Sallik No. 2. Ye of the E/U, rprise can not seo without falling in love with her for she is as pretty as is necessary to make one fall in love with her at first sight. Everybody admires her face. , A splendid hprncUc she is; with a smooth forehead and black eyes, shaded by a wealth of brown ringlets. Hor temper is gentle, but I regrflt to state that she was not born to shine in the republic of literature. Eliza writes the beat of all my scholars. Her figure is plump; her temper is lively ; her features almost regular, and she is, altogether, a good looking girl, Lizzie has a handsome face hut little expression in it. A poor scholar, and has no taste for study. Mary Mo. 2. is a little plump of a girl, almost a baby, for *he is only nine, and a . sdMOt. m I love of a baby too. Possessed of n strong ' mind, slio learns fast and writes easily, and almost always correctly. She is naturally good natured, and means no barm. She lost her father, but her mother still lives. Ilcr teacher loves her as well as if she was his own daughter, and often wishes he would adopt her into his family. Katk is said to have been born of an Indian woman, who, by the way, is a unite. Her temper is a "reign of terror" itself. She 1 ? * 1 _ _ 1 i ? i uves 1101 icarn inucn ; umeea sue never studies. Her father, recently deceased, fought in the war 1812. Her sister is also deaf, and will soon come to the Deaf and Dumb Institution. A few years ago hcrteachcr was taken sick, and lay on a bed for some days. Kate voluntarily minister ed to his slants, she being then only ten years of age. llcr personal appearance is good. Philadelphia, Penn. Slit ^derating fforij. CTI)ij Secf e\ of Soii)eoico. In the days of old, in days when painters lived in paint, not painted to live ; when they were the missionaries of art and not its tradesmen, sacrificing for its sake, fortune, friends, country; braving for its sake the curse of parents, the tyranny of despots ; in such days Domenico, a pupil of Van Kvck, opi ned a cotiAnl rvimtin rr * ? ana a C t Iia Ihh??a f Au<?to i Iovuwi vi an viiv vi iiiv hii^u iv? ir of Italy. Though deficient in tlio truth, ori( gina'.ity, and simplicity of thought that char actcrised the earlier masters, yet the secret I of giving permanency inul durability to his j j colouring 11ad raised him far above all his ! contemporaries, lie alone knew that mix- ! ing oils with his eoloursfixed them upon the J canvass, and preserved them for posterity, i whilo those of every other painter, from their want of consistency, either fell oti" in drops while wet, or in scales when dry. Consequently, he was tho painter mo?t in vogue, and the. bast painter or woman especially of young women, with the black eye and rieli complexion. The secret Domcnico had learned from his master Van Eyok, who had bequeathed it to him on his death-bed, and ho had determined also to reserve tho disclosure till he, too, was at the point of death. Meanwhile, every other artist was condemned to waste in vain efforts genius greater than his, inspirations more divine. Nothing remained of their sublime creations; their paintings of the most exquisite mechanism, of the most perfect design, melted away un-1 der their hands. Deep the mortification, terrible tho vexation, that one man in his avarice and selfishness should possess unshared, and pitilessly engross, the magic power of uniting for ever the canvas and the colouring. I le had, however, from amid his numerous pupils already made his selection of the favoured mortal who was one day to receive the precious bequest. The young Cast a no possessed a wonderful strength and freedom of pencil and already he needed nothing hut his master's secret to surpass him, art well as his fellow-pupils. Ofteu had he watched Doiuenico at work; often had lie supplicated him as fervently a> he did his (?od, and pledged to him the devotion of his whole life, if ho would but impart to i 41.A 4..i: r>..4 ih. , 4 i i<> nnn uiu lau.Miiaii. i>wl tin; iii.i^tur nits inexorable. "At niy death," ho said, "and ' not till then." And the master was not : much older tlmn the pupil. He was his con stant associate and in conversation ho used I frequently to tell him that to carry out his I secret to perfection, lie had need to ho in full possession of all his senses; that it is all over with a painter at sixty?colouring being impossible to eyes dimmed with age. Now, when it is homo in inind that while i he was saving all this lie was vigorous as the i hardy oaK, not one wrinkle, one gray hair to j belie the hope of a life to ho prolonged far 1 beyond sixty,^and that all this was said to a j man younger, indeed, but of weaker consti-1 tution, of inpetuous feeling, of ardent and exciteable temperament, can we wonder that ' this delay made the promise seem to him but a mockery of his passionate impatience? In that; fiery nature curiosity took the form of a passion?a passion sanctified to him by the love of that art, the progress of which was, as it were, bound up with its gratification. Henceforth his every energy, his every faculty, was j cohcentrated upon the discovery of the secret. It was his "thought by day, his dream by night; it seemed to "absorb his whole soul," to drink up his very life. , One morning all Domerico'p pupils were assembled, atul discussing, as was their wont, with more or less show of reason, their master's secret, Castano sat by himself in a corner of the painting-room, buried in thought. It needs must be sonio subject of deep and momentous import that could thus absorb the whole man. llis pencil hud ; dropped fiom his hand, yet he heard not! what was passing around him. For some ' time lie had lost his usual fresh colour and his accustomed gaiety. Ilia pale and sunkeu oheek, with its fwetnaturo wrinkles, be-; spoke the fierce struggle that shook his in- j j moet soul. That nptrtjipg h? seemed more j ' than-Usually agitated. V\ hat thoughts were ? "J f e * furrowing tlwt pale brow and causing those!? largo dark eyes now to fix upon the ground, j c and to glare so wildly it round ? Castano's : c thoughts were of himself and of all his Com- 1 rades, kept in obscurity, debarred from fume, t by the selfish reserve of one to whom for the s most part far superior. With his Secret. | I what far nobler service than lie was capable , I of would they have rendered to the art1 whose interests Domenico was thus meanly 1 sacrificing to his own selfish views. Would l lv? t <\.i . - ?? ?i. - ?- ? * nut# miy nicnin iw i.iviiiii in wiwv tllU w;na ? J from him, ami make it their own ? Any j means ! The motion of his hand instinctive- | ly feeling for his dagger, and the convulsive contraction of his brow, awuko him to the 1 consciousness of the full import of his i thoughts; and at that moment Domonico I entered the room with the already dry do i sign of a new picture. All the pupils gathered round him, Ca tano only excepted, I who remained in his place motionless as a [! statue, and with his eyes fixed on the mas-1 tor while every one else was gazing 011 the 1 picture. , I "By the chin of St. Agatha," exclaimed Domonico, "1 have surpassed myself. This rough draft is admirable in its colouring, l.ook, you may pass, your hand over it, sponge it. Sec, I pour water on it, and it is only the more, brilliant! Well, I was obliged to wait a long time for Van Eyck to die, and you must have patience too. I have made my will, (Jastatio, and there you will 1 find the secret." Was it the force of the electric thrill: through his whole frame at these words that | impelled Castanogforward, till he stood face to ! , face will) Domonico? Ho stood gazing sternly, ' ! fixedly upon the master, as if he would pen-1 I otrate his inmost sool, to drag thence the se! eret. The next moment Ciistano was on his knees with clasped hands and suppliant tones,j pouring out tears and prayers, imploring him \ to have pity upon him and upon the others,! nay, upon the art itself, lie adjured him to; have mercy upon him, not to press him too far, not to deliver him over to the fatality that he felt hurrying him along. "Mercy !" agian and again he cried, "Mercy on these men, on me, on yourself." I Thi* tempest of passion was utterly uninj tvl!igil?le to then all. The other pupils, who had trccn examining and testing the mysterious colouring with linger and eye and tongue, now gathered round him, while Domenieo stared at him, half thinking he must have been seized a with sudden tit of insanity. The j next moment lie coldly repeated his uualter-1 able determination never to reveal his secret j during his lifi une. That very night, under murky clonds and a starless sk v, a man, wrapped in a dark i mantle, made his way with the stealthy steps : [ of a robber or a lover in the direction of j : Domenico's house, at the top of a long and j narrow street. The slowest-paced clock in the city had struck the hour of twelve, but | the man in the dark mantle was still waiting and watching. At length the figure of a mau was seen approaching from the other end of i the street, lie was singing as he came along, i ?it was too dark and too late not to 6ing, At the sound, the first comer hastened forward, then stopped m the other drew nearer and nearer. When they wore quite close j lA O'l/'li otliOP flirt itlntil/ wna tltrrm-n I?ooL* and something Hashed from under its folds, j Suddenly a cry was heard?"Murder 1 help! | help! Then came a dull sound of a body! falling heavily ; there was deep stillness for j j n few moments, and then was heard the distant echo of footsteps in rapid flight. The first erics of the victim having roused the inhabitants of the street, a ntimlier of persons soon crowded about him, and recognizee J in the mortally-wounded man, their j neighbour, the celebrated painter, Donieuico. A surgeon was soon on the spot, but the painter, feeling that he had received his | death-stroke, and thinking only of the secret lie had to bequeath, positively refused to nl! low his wound to bodrcssed. I To sent home, his servants?who by this time had heard of ; the assassination of their master, and had hastened to him?ordering them to bring a small casket containing his will, and the unfinished picture, the object of so much admiration that very morning, and then in- j sisted on being immediately cariied to the! house of his favourite pupil and only friend ! ?Casta no. The sad convoy slowly tnado its way through the streets till it stop-, pod in front of a house, tho windows of which wercall closed with the exception ofthe two upper ones?those of Castauo's room, "lie is not in bed yet," said one of l>omcnieo's sei van to. "lleisnover idle," returned the other, "I believe he paints in his sloop." i "Haste! Let nic but see Iiiin," the dying i man faintly uttered. One of tho attendants pushed forward before tho rest to give some i !iltlt> notice to Castaiin of tho ratiistroniln I I I.iil a pn sentiment of the fearful sight that : awaited hiin anticipated the announcement,! so that us tho door opened ho waa found j panting as if after a long race, and grasping , for breath, with labouring cheat and dilated i eyeball, naif under the influence of some horrible nightmare ! The herald had but time | to tell in a few words what had occurred,! when the wounded man waa brought into the room. None doubted but that it waa the sudden shock thus breaking in upon the late vigils of this devoted lover of bis art, that made nim thu,s with cheek pale with horror md palsied limbs, niul teeth gnashing togeth- J ;r, stand gazing on the form of his murder?d friend. The bearers now laid their sad xirden on the bed, displacing a dark man:lo as they did so. Ilad the fresh Mood drops staining its folds been there previously ? or iad they fallen froiu the dying man a they lifted him to the couch I And now L'omenico took the cold and trembling had of Castnno, and feebly but tenderly pressing it, said to him in broken accents?broken not bv his own groans, hut by tliose that every moment burst from bis pupil.? "There is no hope. I know not whence c:une the blow. 1 had no enmity to any one, though I had no friendship for any but you, dear Cnstauo ! I did not know that you loved me so much. But 1 must not waste breath. This box contains my will, and in it is my secret. I ask you only to finish tliis?my last picture. IMcdgc your self that this shall be done to-morrow." Casta no spoke not, moved not. His whole attitude, his every feature, told not of grief, but desolation and despair. All uight he sat by that couch, and they that saw him wondered. "Surely," they said, "Never was son so heart struck by the loss of the most tender father." It was a relief to turn from that ghastly face and the glare of those j tearless eyes to the countenance of the dying man. Ami thus is it in most of such cases, The evil strength that sustains in the commission of the crime suddenly fails, and leaves the criminal a prey to remorse and fear. A horrible dread had taken hold of Caslauo: a fear not of man but of God?not of death hut of judgment. Death was dealing with Doinenieo ; his murderer was dealing with his coneiehce, and his God. Domenico lingered until the middle of' the next day, and then expired without pain . or struggle in the arms of tiie heir of hisseeret. That very day, to the surprise of all i Castauo set to work witli vehement energy,, and the picture was finished with colouring ot extraordinary neatness and unlhanct*, and of tire same consistence ami durability as that of the master. The longing desire of his. soul was gratified, the one object, and the price he had paid ! lie had murdered his friend that lie might put oil a few years soon-" er in his colouring. The shout from the pupils whom ho hud ' assembled, as they supposed, to exhibit to them the proof that he was indeed master of the secret, for which they knew not that he had paid such a price, was hushed into a dead silence as they gazed upon him. Instead of the triumphant glance of successful art, they met the despairing look of that sunken eye; instead of the cheerful accents of hope of future unchecked progress, they heard the hollow tones in which lie told them his work was forever euded, his purpose for-1 ver broken off; and instead of proud sclfgratulntion and haughty consciousness of being their master, and henceforth unrivalled amid his cotemperariea. there came confession of his wretchedness and guilt, and solemn , warnings to belief of exceptional exemption! the universal and immutable law of God in in fancied peculiarity of individual circumstances. "1 succeed in deceiving myself, but God is not mocked. And this hand can never again hold a pencil; or mix a colour. J tut," lie continued, "I will not tempt you as I was tempted ; the secret shall lie yours." And lie instantly read for them 1 >omenico'a will. And thus it is that the artist's cherished secret, the secret of painting in oils the art of staining indelibly, has from palette to pal ette been transmitted to us, often to the great detriment of canvas, as well as clothes. | The End of Great Men.
