Tbo lady wont to speak to tbe visitor. "What is it yon want nay child?" she asked tbe painter, who at tbe approach of the lady took off hlo velvet cap aad made a deep bow, saying la a shrill voice; "I wtab to speak to Mr. Cornelius." "Ho to not at bone at present, bat If yes win' atep inside you can wait for hh?. Ho will not be long." So saying, she took the little fellow Into the parlor and offered bin n stool to sit on. In a short time the fair hostess bee me quite charmed with ber youthf visitor, and at last (the Rfted bins o t her lap and listened with Intense delight te the Innocent prattle of the clerer "child." Suddenly the deer opened, and Cornelias himself appeared. Taking In tho altoatloa at a Ihaca bo pried: "Ah, 'good morning. Mr. Preyer.
