Ilis clever fainting of pasto rals, markets, ' fairs and scenes of lows-life, gained him the name of Michael Angelo delle Bambocciate. Lie excelled ;especially in the painting of battles, whence be was also called Michael 4kt:lg-eh; of the Battle geld. Michael Angelo had occasion one day to paint St. John the Evangelist,bni his habit of employing ridiculous and grotesque types made it difficult for him to find a proper model, and pursuance of his . Want be walked towards Tivoli ,and called on Al gardi, one of the most famous sculptors of the - period,. to whom -he confided i his diffP culty. Giacinto 1' cried the sculptor, 'come and show. yourself.' . Giaciato wns a handsome, young man of about twerity,cytho, for some months past i had lived withy i Sigael Algardi,serving him as iomodel. . . am monger surprised, Al,gardi, that our Roman ladies prat with such fervor to the saints_turned out of your studio,' said Michael Angelo, the lad suits you, I'll make his over to you with the greatest pleasure.' Michael Angelo did not observe the singu lar expression with which Algardi ntLeredtho two tut words. 'Are you willing to-follow mel' he asked the young man. - Ara, if you'll promise ,to teach me bow to paint.' I 'I wish you better luck with the brush than with the chisel,' said Algardi. „Giacinto, the eon of Giovanni Mandl, an embroidery-designer, had hitherto manifested op desire to attain a more elevated!positiorr in art thee his.father, and if Algardii showed him but little affection, this was partly caus ed by the small advantage be bad !derived from the lessons of the , greet, sculptor. Ills conduct at the outset of his career nii,a pupil of _Michael Angelo was not very faiorable ; saes` covering -.a canvass with - caters, be examined it with scrupulous attention, and when forced to confes' s that his first trial bad not produced a master-piece, he trampled it under foot exclaiming • far 7 c27,10e.13 -• "WE JOIN TIME-INES TO NO 'PARTY -TEAT DOES NOT CADET 'TUE FLAG AND =MP STEP.

'For the space otamontb 6iacinto neglect ed brushes and palette; to became taciturn and morose. Each morning, as soon as he had 'finished sitting for St. John, ho withdrew .to some isolated spot, and remained there till night, buried in sombre reverie*. But after one of these solitary fits, Gilt cinto reappeared in the studio with a. more Cheerful> - Countenance , and energetically commenced sketching the bead 'of a ma - ''That's not amiss, :sel - lob:1 . cl Angelo ; think I have seen. that bead some where.' 'lf you had seen it, master,' replied the young man hastily, 'you would-think this an abominikble daub' 'lon young goose?—when I was your age, also thought the madonna of my dreams far superior to those created by my brush; that was perhaps why I gave - op painting them. Follow my example." • But it was very apparent that Giscinto's vocation was to paint madonnas rather than scenes of.low-life; for regularly every Mon day, after having speniSunday in wandering about Tivoli, he rubbed out the madonna -of the preceeding week and began ..a now one instead. Soule five or six canvasses had been used in tills way, when, on Monday morning, Giacinto again abandoned the palette and relapsed into those fits of melancholy which had latterly disappeared as they had come, without apparent reason. Michael Angelo noticed this sudden change, and was alarmed by, it. In a visit ho paid to Algardi, Giacin te's name having been mentioned; he could not help saying reproachfully : 'That lad you gave me is a perfect mad man r_ 'l'e;, he'll come to a bad end shortly,'' . re plied the-sculptor. And he changed the suhject, as jibe wish ed to avoid further explaations. Itliehael Angelo then recollected the plea sure wtsich Algardi had expressed do giving up Giaciuto to him a 3 a model; coupling this remembrance with the well-known selfishness of the sculpter,who would certainly not have parsed so easily with a hid who gave Mtn satisfaction, ho became , mriouslv uneasy, and by the time he reached borne, his mind was filled with infinite apprehensions. An excla mation which he heard by chance bronchi his uneasittess to a climax, and struck terror into his soul : • 'Money money ! even if I rob or murder for it! It was Giaeinto's voice. Michael Angelo, containing himself with difficulty, went straight up to the young mqn and axid : `Giacinto, get your thing; together and leave my hcrese ibis very evening—not to return bdo you undel•staud f' master,' be answered ; and, without making any further remark, set about mak ing 'preparations for his departure. Betleetsug on Girieinto's promptsubmission nod the apparent tranquilly . with which he left the house, Michael Angelo' was more dis turbed than ever. Ile hastened to his bed room, drew out from under his bed a box, which be opened burriedly,. and ex claimed: t:Thank God!—the crime has not beep accomplished. But,' thought be, 'may it not be that, for the completion of his,crime, it is indifferent to him whether he is inside or out side the house, and that his plans are so well laid that he feels sure of success P To account for the anxiety evinced by Michael Angelo, it must be eaplaieed that he was not . used to have in his possession any large sum of Money; but it had to happened that only the week before several noblemen had sent Lim - the price of various commis sions. Our painter had not intended to -keep these monies long in his possess.l4, as he feared.. they would deprive him of his most precious treasure—his cheerfulness. But at that period, the only place in Rome in which money ceuld be safely deposited, was _the Monte-de-Pieta, to the use of which Michael Angelo felt an invincible repugnance; be was therefore awaiting some more satisfactory opportunity; when the imminence of the danger to which. he believed himself exposed, -pointed out to hint the necessity of coming to a decision, and' executing it promptly.. Ile remembered that, when returning from Algardi's, he had noticed at some ribs stance-from the main road, in a wild spot surrounded . ' by rocks, - a dark and deep cave, at sight of whiciLhe had exclaimed : `fbat's the very place for a miser to bury his ,treasure in I' His resolution was instantly taken. 'Now,' said he, putting the box under. his arm, 'let the robber come whenever he pleases,- he will find neither the man nor the money l' The box was heavy, and the distance from Rome to the cave about ten miles. It was a beautiful night; innumerable stars twinkled in the heavens; a cuul and perfumed breeze bad succeeded to the heat of the day ; it was just the time for a walk; and Michael Angelo got easily over the first three. miles. In a little time, however, heated by the exertion of walking, our traveler began to feel the air moist and heavy. • Props of perspiration oozed from his brow. ills legs felt Stiff," and he. was 'obliged to slacken his pace. In proportion as be felt tired,tbe weight of the box seemed to increase; he passed it from under one arm to the - other, and from shoulder• to shoulder, but only sue deeded in inerruisibg his sense of general fatigue. At last s 'yielding to the absolute necessityof taking rest,be threw himself down at the foot of a tree, exclaiming.: 'lf it were to save my life, I could go no further I" The night wus wearing away, the stars were paling, the rosy tint of morning was just peeping -above the horizon Michael Angelo could not remain eternally under the tree with his boi; some determination must b e arr i v ed at.

Michael Angelo bad -already passed two hours seated uponthis stone, when he heard a slight sound- a little behind him. ills firit impulse was to spring up and seize his dag ger, but seeing only a young girl who hastily disappeared as if frightened by his menacing gesture, Michael Angelo resumed his seat. After a few minutes h‘saw the same girl .re appear on another „spot, peering cautiously throngb the bushes, and again disappearing on finding herself observed.
