A True Story. lHarpers Young People-l One beautiful summer morninR. about the year IK' several youths of Seville approached the dwelling of tbe celebrated painter iMurillo, where they arrived nearly at tbe tame time. After the usual salutation they entered the studio. Muriilo was not yet there, and each of the pupils walked up quickiy to bis ea.-el to examine if tbe paint had dried, or perhaps to admire bis work of the previous evenii:er. "Tray, :entleruen," exclaimed Isturit, anprily. '"which of y;u reinained behind in the studio last night?" "What ait absurd question! Don't you recollect that we nil came away together?" With tlie.-e words MendVz, wilh a careless stir, approached his easel, when an exclamation ut astonishment escajed him, and be jiazed in mute 8urpri.se on his canvas cn which was ror.qhly sketched a most beautiful laud of the Virgin. At this moment some one was heard euterin; the rNm. The pupils turned at tbe sound, and all made a respectful obeisance to the ereat master. "Look. Sen or .Muri'Io. look!" exclaimed the youths, us tbey pointed to tue easel of blende. Who has painted this who has painted in is Ueno. ueiiiiemeii . asKttt .uuriiio, eagerly. jeak; tell me. lit? who has sketched this head will one day he the master of us all. Muriilo wi.-hca he !:ul done it. What skill! Mentiex. my dear pupil, was it you?" "No, fen or," replied Mendt, in a sorrowful tone. 'Wa. it you, then, Istur.it.. or Ferdinand, or Carlos'.5 But they all gave the same reply osMendez. I think, ir." said Cordova, the youngest of the pupil, "that thee strange pictures are very alarming. To tell the truth, such "wonderful thinjr have happened in your studio that one scarcely knows what to be1 lieve." "What are tbey".'" asked Muriilo. still lost in admiration of the beautiful head by the unknown artist. "According to your orders, senor," answered Ferdinand, "we never leave the studio without putting everything in order; but when we return in tue iuoriiii, not only is everything in confusion, our brushes filled with paint, our palettes dirtied, but here and there are sketches, sometimes of tbe head of an ane), sometimes of a demon, then ar'ain a young girl, or the figure of an "old man, but all admirable, as you have teen yourself, senor." "This is certainly a curious affair, ?entlemen." observed Muriilo. "but we shall swi it am w 110 is tins nigntiy visi:am. eoatian," I e continued, addressing a little mulatto boy aliout fourteen years old, who ap peared at bis call, "did I not desire yoa to bleep here everv night?-' "Yes, master," said the hoy, with timidi ty. "And have yon done so?" "Yes, master." "Speak, then: who was hero last night and this morning before these gentlemen came?" "No one but me, I swear to yoa, master," cried the mulatto, throwing himself on his knees in the middle of the studio, and h lding out his little hands in supplication hefore bis master. "Listen to me," pursued Muriilo. "I wih to know who lias sketched this head of the Virgin and all the .'mures which my pupils find every morning here oncoming to the studio. This ni'ht, in place of goini to bid, you shall keep watch, aud if by to-morrow you do not discover who the culprit is, you sha'l have twenty-live strikes from the la-.li. Ton bear! I have said it. Now go and jrrind the colors; and you, gentlemen, to -work " From the commencement until the termination of the hour of instruction Muriilo was too much absorbed witii hi pencil to allow a word to be sikeit but what related to their occupation; but the moment he disappeared conversation It-gun. and naturally turned to tbe subject in which they were all interested. "lie ware, Sebastian, of fli? lash." said Mendez, "and watch well to the culprit; but give nie the Naples yellow' '"lOti do not need it, Ssnnr Mendez: you have made it yellow enoitjh al ready ;and as for . thecnlprit. I have already told you that it is the Zombi, ' "Are these neirrocs fool-j with their Zombi?" said iot7.jl, laughing, "l'ray what is a Zombi V" "(Hi, an imagina-y being, of course. Hut take care. Senur Gon.alo," lontinued Se !- tian, with u mischievous glance at ids easel, '"for it mutt be the Zombi who has stretched the left arm of your st. John to such a length that if tbe rlf;bt resembles it be will be able to untie his shoestring witho:;tslO'p"Do you know, gentlemen," said Isturjtz, as he glanced at the painting, "that the remarks of Sebastian are extremely just, and much to the point? Who knows but that from grinding the colors be may or.e !ay astonish us by snowing u lie knows one from the other!" It was night, and the studio of Muriilo, the most celebrated painter in Seville, was now as silent as tbe grave. A single lamp burned upon a marble table, and a young mulatto Viy. 'A hosejeyes sparkled like diamonbs, leaned against an easel. Immovable and still, h was so deeply absorbed in his meditations that the door of the studio was opened by one W ho severel times tailed him by name, and mho, on rece.Ting no answer, approached and touched luru. fcb:it:uii raised his eyes, vhicb rested on a tail and handsome negro. ' Whv do vou come here, father?" he asked in a melancholy tone. "To keep your company, Sebastian." There is no need, father; I can watch u'one." "lU.t what if the Zombi should come?" ''I do not fear him," replied tbe boy, with a Fad Muile, "lie may carry you away, and then the

poorneero Gomez will bare no one to con

sole him in bis slavery..' "Oh, bow sad! how dreadful it is to be a slave!', exclaimed tbe boy, weeping bitterly. "It is the will of God," replied the negro. with an air of resignation. "tiod: ejaculated bebastian, as be raised bis eyes to the dome of the studio, through which the stars glittered "God! I pray con stantly to 11 im, my father (and lie will one day listen to mek that we may no longer be slaves, tut po to bed, father; go, go, . and I shall go to mine there in that corner, and I Eiball soon fall asleep. Good-night, father, good-mrht." '..-..., "liood-mght. my son : ana Laving Kissed th boy, the negro retired. "The moment Sebastian found himself alone he uttered an ficlamaiion of joy. Then suddenly checking himself, he Raid: "Twenty-five lashes to-morrow if I do not tell who sketched the se ficurcs, and perhaps more if I ,i i.k r' . .1 - t I" Orwl uu. 11 . illy IUU, VIMUV fcv, irijr biu. nuu ,1JC little mulatto threw himself upon the mat which terved him for abed, where be soou fell fast asleep. "Sebastian awoke at daybreak; it waa only three o'clock, "Courage, courage, .Sebastian, ' be exclaimed, as be shook himself awake; three boors are thine only three hours; then profit by them; the rest belong to thy niater. Slave! Let me at least be my own master for three short hours. To begin, these tigures must be ellaeed," and seizing a brush, he approached the Virgin, w'dch, viewed by the soft light of morning, apjeared more beautiful than ever. "Efface this! be exclaimed "efiace this! No; I will die first. Kflace this they dare not neither dare J. No that headbreathes speaks; it seems as if her blood would flow if I should offer to efface it. and that I should be her murderer. No.no, no; rather let roe finish it." iscarcely bad be uttered these words, when, seizing a palette, he seated bimsell at the easel, and was soon totally absorbed in his occupation. Hour after hour passed unheed ed by ceha;tian, who was too much engrossed by the beautiful creation of his pencil, which seemed bursting into life, to mark; the tlight of time. But who can describe the horror and consternation of tbe unhappy slave, when, on suddenly turning round, he beheld all the upils, with his master at their head, standing beside him! Sebastian never once dreamed of justifying himself, and, with bis palette in one hand and his brushes in the other, be hung down his bead, awaiting in silence tke punishment he believed that he justly merited. Muriilo having, with a gesture of the hand, imposed silence on his pupils, aud concealing bis emotion, said in a cold and severe tone, while lie looked alternately from the beautiful picture to the terrified slave. "Who is your master. Sebastian?" You," replied the boy, in a voice scarcely audible. "I mean vour drawing master," said Muriilo. "You, senor,'' again replied the trembling slave. "It can not be; I never gave you lessons," said the astonished painter. But you gave them to other?, and I lis ttned to them," rejoined the boy, emboldened by the kindness cf his master. "And you have done better than listen; you have profited by them," exclaimed Muriilo, unable longer to conceal bis admiration. 'Gentlemen, does this boy merit punishment or reward'.'" At the word punishment Sebastian's heart Wat quick; the word reward gave him a little tourage;but fearins that his ears deceived him. be looked with timid aud imploring eyes toward his master. "A reward, senor," cried the pupils, in a breath. "That is well; but what shall it be." Sebastian began to breathe. "Speak, Sebastian," said Muriilo. looking at bis slave. "Tell me wtiat you wish for; I am so much pleased with your beautiful composition that 1 -will grant any request you may make. Speak, then; do not be afraid." "Oh, master, if I dared And Sebastian, clasping bis hands, fell at the feet of his master. With the view of encouraging him. each of the pupils suggested some favor for him to demand. "Ask gold. Sebastian." "Ask rich dresses, Sebastian." 'Ask to be received as a pupil. Sebastian." A faint smile passed over the countenance of the slave at the last words, but be hung down his head and remained silent. "Come, take courage," said Muriilo, gayly. "The master is so kind." said Ferdinand, half aloud, "I would risk something; ask your freedom, Sebastian." At these words Sebsatian uttered a cry of anguish, and raising his eyes to bis master, he exclaimed, in a voice choked with sobs, "The freedom of my father! the freedom of my fatherl" "And thine also," said Muriilo,! who, no longer able to conceal his emotion, threw his arms round Sebastian, and pressed him to his breast ''Your pencil," be continued, "shows that you have talent; your request proves that you have a heart: "the artist is complete. From this day consider yourself not only as my pupil, but as my son. Happy Muriilo! 1 have done more than paint I have made a painter." Muriilo kept his word, and Sebastian Oomez, better known under the name of the Mulatto of Muriilo, became one of the most celebrated painters in Spain. There may yet be seen in the churches of Seville the celebrated picture which be had been found painting by bis master, and others of the nij best merit. At a fashionable church wedding the three bridesmaids wore dresses of dark royal blue plush, made short, with Marie Stuart tunics and sharp pointed bodices. They wore I.01 don .Oypsy hats niad of white velvet and lace, with short full ostrich tips wreathing the crowns:. Their long white gloves of Danish kid were not drawn over but parsed beneath the lace-trimmed sleeves The first bridemaid carried a basket of blush-roses at her side, the second a basket of carnations, and the third, a young lady of sweet sixteen, held a basket overflowing with trailing vines, ferns, white lilies, and tea rose buda Each young lady wore with her costume a pair of bronze shoes, the tops of which were made of dark blue velvet the exact shade of their dresses. 4. rutty !.

A member of a Club objected to a publication of the list of the meeting, nights of the Club, "because," said he" if it's published, we married men will have to account for the offnighU" The motion to publish was lost The Pittsburg Telegraph has discovered that the Egyptians of four thonsind years ago drank beer. It seems likely tint some antiquarian, investigating a aarcophaas.has discovered a piece of slate with numeral figures upon it. In Japan women do not conceal their age, but make it known by certain styles of wearing their hair. In this country no such rule is necessary. The age of a woman can generally be guessed by the amount of hair her busband has left. The principal idol of the Chinese women is called the god of the bedstead, which they worship religiously. We have known of American women gcttin? down before the bedstead in an attitude of devotion, but it was usually to look for a man underneath. The queen is going to decorate the Marquis of Lome with a g&rter. Would not the decoration be more imposing if it were visible to the naked eye such as a new plag hat with a scarlet plume, for instance? Hut then we suppose the queen understands the decoration business better than we do. At the close of a prayer meeting in Connecticut recently a deacon invited tbe "brethren" to remain to a business meeting, and then feeling doubtful whether he bad been quite as iKjlite to the ladies as was desirable, added, "There is no objection to the female brethren remaining if they wish to." In Italy it is cudotnary for three or four married women to drag a bride to her wouldbe husband. She pretends to struggle desperately to pet away. A wise journalist points out that it would take all the married women in tbe country to bold back an Aniercan girl w ho had coucluded to cuter the conjugal state. "Mary." said a man to his wife, "if I owned a horse like Jay-Kye-See would you throw your arms around me ami kiss me whenever be beat tbe record?" "William," she answered, severely, "there is a saw horse next to the woodpile in the cellar. If you make it the best record I will ki-s you so often it will make your head swim. Tbe l'.ev. J. W. Lain of Philadelphia, preaching in Pittsburg, enumerated the things not to be found 111 heaven. "There is no darkness there, no clouds, no sickness, no graves, no funerals, no preachers " At this point, seeing a tmilc rippliiig over the congregation, be exclaimed: "1 mean there is no preaching there." Keeping tbe conversation: At a party the other evening there was a lull in the" conversation, which made the host, who was inexperienced, somewhat nervous. With a view to relief be asked a mournful looking man if he was married. "No, 1 am a bachelor," stillly replied the .somber man. "Ah!" observed tbe hot, warming up with the subject, "bow long have you been a bachelor?" There was another lull in the conversation. One of the anecdotes which we never really get tired of is told of Theodore Hook. While writing in a London hotel one day he was disturbed by a noisy procession accompained by a brass band. "What's all that?" be inquired impatietly. "A temperance procession," wastheanswer. "What nonsense!" exclaimed Hook, "I don't make such a row a3 that when I get sober " Tbe other day old Dave received a telegram from a man down in the country who wanted him to come down and clean out bis well. After some one had read the dispatca to the old man lie said: "Ie Lawd hab 111113sy on sich a man as 1 is Gcttin' nior 'portant ebery day. (ior. a letter yestiday. an' now l's dun got a 'spatch.

The following is Artemus Ward's description of why be courted I'etsy Jane: "Thsre were many atlectin' ties which made me hanker after retsY Jane. Her father's farm jined ourn; their cows and ourn squelched their thirst at the same spring; our mares both had stars on their foreheads; the measles broke out in both families at nearly tbe same time; our parents (Uetsy Jane's and mine) slept regularly every Sunday in the same meetin' house, and the neighbors used to observe, 'How thick the Wards and l'easleys air ' It was a sublime sight in the spring of the year to see our several mothers ( Detsy's and mine) with their gowns pinned up m they couldn't sile 'em, ctfecktionately bilin' soap togetherand uboosiu' their neighbors." "How glad I am to see you, my dear," exclaimed Mrs. D., to the bride of a year; "and how do you like married life?" "I am very happy, but, after all, married life is awfully monotonous." "Indeed I never found it so. "No. perhaps not, but then your husband is country bred, you came from a city; he is a blonde, you a brunette: he is a Christian aud you a Jewess " "Keally, my dear, 1 do not understand," "Not understand? Can not vou see how differently lam situated?"' ' Well. 110." "Whj, my husband and I both came from the same town. Our parents were as much alike as two families can be.

"Well, Miss Sarah, 1 believe you do." "I5e sure of it, because I want to do so." "Keally, Miss Sarah. 1 don't know whether you do or not; but whether it is you or the l-ord, I should say you are made about as plain as any women I ever saw." Then he went over to the other girl.

In Septeiuber my family was in the country, the house was closed up, and the bill is $. flood joke, isn't it? and the citizen had a fresh tit of laughter. "Yes," said the collector, "it3 a good joke, but w bo's it on? ' "Oh, I mpiKjse it's on me; but I don't mind 1 1 for tbe sake of a joke." Tbe Leral Way of .'-pplylrg an Epithet.

Mr. L'iitenhoefer thought, at bis engapemcnts were of a most important character, that counsel on the other side ought to waive bis objections and defer tbe vovae Tbe counsel llatly refused to entertain this preposition. Mr. Ditteuhoefer exclaimed: "1 do not wish to call the gentleman a ho?. That would be unprofessional.

And here is another that is too fine to keep. A subscriber tells us about a sermon be heaid preached at the funeral of lirother Watkins. It so happened that llrother Watkins died on the of February. The eloquent preacher reached his climax thus: liaising both bands, and with a voice tremulous with emotion, be exclaimed, "O think, my brethren, whet a wanderful what a wonderful providence! How wisely God chose the day for our friend's departure!, llow sweet, bow glorious the thought, that the same day in the year which g;ivea Washington to our country, gave a Watkins to heaven It is a very remarkable fact that almost every rich man is attacked with insanity at the very moment when be attempts to make his will. 1 If a man is in his right mind while making a million, never indulging in a trade without absorbing the spare cash of the gentleman he condesceuds to trade with, he is nevertheless attacked by thi3 fatal malady when be begins to exercise bis judgment in the disposition of his property after death. It is perfectly insane for insanity to attack a man when be most needs to be entirely Fane. Dut it wa3 ever thus from childhood's hour, and will be so as long as ungrateful heirs think they have a chance to get another handful cf the old man's gold. Tbe courts have a good time, the lawyers live in clover, and the quarreling children are almost reduced to the horrid necessity ot" earning an htnest living. There is only one thing sure, viz., that the gentleman who leaves us individually a disproportionate part of bis estate has a mind remarkably well balanced and a certain shrewdness of judgment in the detection of real and solid merit which wo will maintain at the point of the pen until ink ceases to llow. Divorce? Well, some people make a mistake when tbey come together, and they continue the mistake so long as they remain together. A brute of a man married a bard-working women eleven years ago, and induced her to steal from the store in which she was saleswomen for the support of the family while he indulged in the luxury of lager beer, but never in tho luxury of work. Everv week she gave the stolen property into bis keeping, and the funds accruing from the sale thereof he exIieditiously spent, but not for rent or for read. At last she tires of that kind of life, and wrenches herself from his grasp, determined to be honest at all hazards. Then tbe aforementioned brute informs concerning his wife, and takes a sweet revenge in having ber arrested That she was weak is true; that a woman has no right to steal even for her husband and children is easily conceded. Hut somehow we can't well help grinding our teeth when we see the tMor woman maiched off to prison aud kuow that the evi

dence against the brute is such that he may possibly return to his lager beer. There is something wrong somewhere whea 6ucu

Cloth toques and velvet jockey caps will be worn w ith costumes of cloth and of vel vet. MniTs of sealskin are a trifle larger, and it is said will be greatly increased in sire: thev are not trimmed. Quaker tints in cool stone gray and blue tteel colors, as well as the warm red and r dd shades of autumnal foliage, are extensively useu ju luuiincry.

Some new invitation cards for afternoon tea are in tbe form of a kettle, and have tbe name of the guest on the spout, as a symbol that the will be served with tea, and the name of tbe hostess on tbe handle to show she will serve it. The invitation is on the body of the kettle. Mack fox fur is well-known for ita lon? silky tleece, and will be much used in capes, collar?, muns ana trimmings, and there are quaintly shaped turbans of this fur with merely a round crown for tiie foundation, and the long fleece falling over its edge as a brim. Three inches on the pelt is a good width for this fur when used as trimming. "Harvest" paper is one of the newest and most fashionable kinds. It is fine linen pa per, without lines, with large square envelopes Lach sheet is decorated in the left-hand-corner with an embossed or jtetty painted pear, peach, pumpkin, sheaf of wheat, a bunch of grapes, or some similar design, and tbe back of the envelope is ornamented in the same manner. Stylish, sensible coats for every-day wear are made of Scotch and English cloths. These coats are quite long, and may be either double or single breasted. They are fitted to the figure by tailors with only one dart. Heavy pleats are added below the waist at the seams at the back, or this additional fullness is shirred in a group of shirring and caught by a plain passcmen terie crescent. Very few of tbe gray dresses now so much in vogue are trimmed with colors. Here and there you see a dash of mulberry or crimson velvet, but although both colors harmonize with and look effective against gray, they are not considered in nearly such good taste as an entire gray dress either trimmed with marabout feather trimming, or made up with velvet of a deeper shade either plain or brocaded. Moreen is again in ue for Ilalmoral skirts that are worn next the dress Tbe preference for black Ilalmoralscontinues.but those of gray and of scarlet moreen are also imported. All Balmoral skirts are made wider than formerly, and are mostly finished by a single narrow box-pleated flounce. For those who like softer fabrics, ladies cloth of light quality and tbe twilled domestic flannels are made up in Balmorals that have one, two, or three box-pleated frills around the foot. Many plush capes are worn just now, and, with a good deal of wadding, they are nearly as warm as fur. The collars are high, and the half sleeves set in in the fashionable way. In color they are expected to match the" costume worn with them, or, otherwise, to correspond to that of the dress trimmings. A new shade of plush, very thick and heavy, exactly matching tbe color of natural beaver is much used for pelerines and shoulder capes. These come with jockey caps aud mufls to match. Some of the newest overdresses are so long as to reach the bottom of the dress skirt, both front and back. The drapery at each side is usually caught up very high with buckles, or ltiops of ribbon run through a slide. The other extreme is a very short bunchy tunic or panier overskirt. Either style is equally fashionable. The question of suitability and becomingness is therefore the only matter to be settled in making a choice of the two very opposite styles. A very beautiful evening costume, made for a bride, has an underdress of violet satin covered with ruffles of Oriental lace ten inches deep. These -waves of lace are caught up here and there by ornaments of amber and turquoise. Above this is a Louis (Juinze bodice of gold and pale blue brocaded satin trimmed with the lace of a narrow width. At the left side of the square, opening in the neck, is vet a larger cluster of marshmallow blossoms and pale bluebells, mingled with cascades of the lace. There are no decided fashions in gioves, Long mousquetaire or short buttoned gloves fastened by four buttons are chosen either in dressed or Suede,kid and are equally worn on the promenade by leaders of fashion. Those who prefer the gloves to merely reach the edge of their plain tailor sleeves choose the buttoned dressed glove, but if the fair wearer desires to draw the glove? over the sleeve in the style of English girlsshe chooses a long Suede or dresseel kid glove. The button glove usually matches or harmonizes in color with the costume, w hile tbe mousquetaire may be chosen in contrast to the costume in any of the shadowy gray hues of the season or in the stylish autumnal leaf browns, which range in tint from the golden maple leaves of September to the dead, withered leaves of November. Fruit shades are also introduced this fall in tints and shades of purple grapes, red grapes and blue ilaaison plums.
