Bridgeless it now roll ed and free between the Roman city and the great Latin camp! And on liiis was triumph, and loud mirth, and revelry, and song and feasting—and on that shame and despair, and suent sorrow; wail ing and wo and famine! Rome’s bravest chiefs were penned up in the walls to perish ingluriously without a blow—for the base commons had revolted, had refused to lilt lance, or buckle brand, or m ister in their centuries at trumpet call to buttle. Rome’s fairest maids were captives, hostages imsely yielded to tho insult ing foe—Cioeliu, the pride, the beauty, the boast of Rome, and fifty more, the flower of the patrician houses! And how should Rome go forty to battle when at the first lance burled, the first biu\v stride en, all these must perish or endure worse outrage/ And yet—and yet so vast was the patriotism, so high the national pride ol those patrician bouses— they offered, knowing the consequences to those dearer to them than life—they ottered to lead on for Rome, regardless of their own, their children’s doom—they offered, and had followers been found they had not been found wanting. The sun was at its height, the sky cloudless— the Latin camp flaunting with bravery of banners, gieaming with symphonies of joyous music—Rome sad and stern und wasting day by day—that the old Turquin had already begun to count the hours that should elapse ere those rebellious gates would open to ro-udmit their exhiied Sover eigns. Lars Porsena, the king, rode forth in bis ivory car, inlaid with beaten gold, reining bis snow- white chargers, as if he were a god, down the green slope from the Pimtorian gate of his tinge cump to tho clear river’s bunk, .vie»ro first hud stood the Sublicinn bridge now prostrate—forth he rode in insulting pomp. Two and two went the Latin heralds hi the van—two bv two followed the Btrus- olf into the plain, now they dashed straight toward the river, now they wheeled at a word like to a flock of circling swallows, and drove back at full speed toward the chariot Lars Porsenu, and now they halted all a breast, orderly as a line of war riors, in front of his tail car, and at a sign from Clmlin all saluted tin? victorious monarch, while the plain rang with plaudits, and Pe rsona smiled gently at their grace, and the proud Tarqvnns looked on in wonder, so strange was me demeanor of the maidens, so indecorous and unromun. Once more they broke otf into single files—ten files of five girls each—and, wheeling once again through the lumuiluous and applauding ranks, they gained the open plain. “One morn feat now !” cried Cladin, waving her hand aloft—“Hurrah! girls, for the Tiber—lor Rome ! for Rome, hurrah !”—and down the steep hillside they dashed amain, and over the green meadow at its base—and on lo the ah- rubt and c'itly bank of the broad fordless river!— Her words were heard through all the Latin host, so trumpet-like and clear did she peal forth her sil very accent*. and down rushed one and all, archer and spearman Lucumo and slave, in hot und des perate pursuit.

[from ghaiiam’s magazine.] CLtELIA ; I'll E VIRGIN HOSTAGE. BV HENRY WM. HERBERT. Author 4ff “ Uiitmcoml the Hover," “Cromirt lt, 4fC. In those days, as old Livy writes, there were vast solitudes and mighty woods in all those regions. The city, which was destined in after days to overshadow a conquered world by the terror of her cngle wing-, was inv.it but a small town, built upon two of the .Noven hills which K eiicoulpUs.sed within its mighty circuits a century or two later than the period to which my narrative relates. That peri od wus to Rome as the lHih and 1 lilt centuries are lo France und England, the debateuble, and a> it were, the disputed frontier between the realms of fuel and fubie—the epoch of romance, of poetry. <*f action, as opposed to that of words, in either— and ns in the latter times knight errantry and the chivulresque attach nil eyes, so in the former do heroism uu<i the old heroism and the old heroic pro sent tueiusclvos in the most brilliuut and attractive lights. The gossiping old garrulous historians of those days, Heaven’s blessing on their credulous sim plicity! revel in thuir descriptions of these worth- )c.s; they tell us not only what tlu-y did, hut how they looked, and wlml clothes they wore, and what they said, and all about them, and uow-n-days coinu a whole tribe of learned Cloths and (Surma- liana, and tell us that we must uni believe one word about the old familiar friends of our school day— —that there was no such wolf as suckled Komi) Ins, und no such horse as carried C'urtius into In gulf, and no such woman us Lucretin, no such a veuger as the older Brutus. But, on the other hand, ‘wiiere ignorance is bliss ’tin folly to be wise!’ und is it not bliss to believe, to luxuriate ill the belief, that those glowing portraits in “Livy’s pic tured page” are real likenesses of real men and women! is it not, therefore wisdom! There wen;, llien, in tho»o days vast solitudes and mighty woods, where, if thing* go on much longer us they hu\e been of late years doing, there seem* every pro-pret that there will lie vast soli tudes again—hi the vicinity of Rome—the empn s- ami “Niube of Nation*!’ But mark the contrast; can augurs—his lictors stulked behind him, proud Latins! Ve gods ! with wintam.r of joyous of their rod.hound axes—old Turquin sut beside tho king, with hair snow-white, ami snow-white beard, and eyebrows, all armed from head to heel, with his crown on his casque und the eagle sceptre in his right hand. Sextus und Ancus rode beside him, full of exulting hope. Daily rode forth that pageant. Down they swept lo verge of that sacred river ; and •.hen loud rang tlie uugural trum pets, loud pealed the heralds’ summons ; ami there were disyluved to yearning eyes of mourning mo thers, to the indignant gaze of stem, heroic sires, to the false-hearted commons—those fifty virgin hostages ! Wo ! wo for Rome. Ami then, uye ! then to vex their patrician lords, then would the commons h ive submitted to the tyrant, ?o tin* ravish- er, then would they have cast open their gates to the proud king, have bowed their enfranchised neck- under tho yoke of slavery—for what know they, or cared, of liberty and virtue ! Whut was it to the crouching, f iwuing artisan whether a king or con sul sat on the curule chaii, so bread was cheap, and wages high, and holydays nml pageants fre. quent ? Nothing. They would have yielded— but there were men yet within the walls—brave men though half heart broken—who would have seen Rome sink unmoved into the pit of Tartarus, and .-uuk with it themselves triumphant, rather thun loose one bar or tm n one holt to admit any king, unless became a captive, lo tread th j sneed way up to the capital in fettered pageantry—thuuc • to the block to die ! Aye! and without those wul.s there were womeii-.young. lovely, delicate, and tei - der woman,who,rather than those gates should have unclosed, would have endured the worst extremity i»f ill—who would have suffered as Luc re tin and a- Lucretiu died ! Such has the force, the ad-con- qticriiig force, in the heroic ages, over the simple, uuliquo Roman heart,of that first virtue, wi’lumt which no oilier can exist, the iudomitab’o love of country. Behind that train of maidens, who daily were marched down,each in her spoilt 1 her virgin fillers, to aggravate the sorrows, ami try the stubbornness ol’the boleiigurcd Romans, there wns drawn out a troop of fifty Latin knights, the bravest and the noblest of Forsetm’s court, the guard of honor of tho hostages, each answerable with his head for the safekeeping of one noble dam sol—und, sooth to say, noble was their deport ment, noldo their treatment of the captive • damsels. There were, it is true, none of the hecks ami bows, none of the honeyed words und flower; d Courtesies of the false modern days, there was none of their hollowness !—But there was grave deco rum ami self-respecting honor! So that each otic of those patrician maidens looked lo tho Latin knight who was her gourd as her protector like wise ! Tnc insulting pomp was ended—back sped the proud procession—hut now those youthful knights dismounted from their war-steed*.and walked friend ly witli their lovely captive*.—Now the proccs- sion lialiod at the Pitotnriau gate, it was perhaps a mile from the river bank* and on the ulter priests made sacrifice to the great gods in gratitude for Rome half conquered—•and Hie while tlie maids nre toying—av«\ positively toying with the gny Latin youths!
