THE MUSEUM. from the Catskill Recorder. A poim has been recently published in Eng land, entitled ‘'ltaly.” It contains descriptive sketches of the country of the Italians, and re flections upon the present political condition of the people. ’ The poem is attributed (from con jecture solely) to Mr. Southey. Amongthe epi sodes, is the following: in which arc the outlines of a storv, that, doubtless, is familiar to most of eur readei'3. GINEVRA. If ever you should come to Modena (Where among other relics you may 8 Tassoni’s bucket —but ’tis not the true one) Stop at a palace near tbe Reggio-gate, Dwelt in of old by one of the Donati. Its noble gardens, terrace above terrace, And rich in fountains, statutes, cj presses, Will long detain you—but, before you go, Enter the house—forget it not, I pray you— And look awhile upon a picture there. ’Tis of a lady in her earliest youth, The last of that illustrious family; Done by Zampieri—but by whom I care not. He, who observes it—ere he passes on, Gazes his fill, and comes and comes again, That he may call it up when far away. She sits, inclining forward as to speak, Her lips half open, and her finger up, As tho’ she said “Beware!” her vest of gold ’Breklered with flow ers and clasped from head to foot, An emerald atone in every golden clasp; And on her brow, fairer than alabaster, A coroivet of pearls. But then her face, So lovely, yet so arch, so full of mirth, The overflowings of an innocent heart— It haunts me still, iho’many a year has fled, lake some wild melody! A feme it hangs O’er a mouldering lieir-loom, its companion, An oaken chest, half eaten by the worm*, lint richly carved by Antony of Trent, With scripture stories from the life of Christ. A chest that came from Venice, and had held ‘ The ducal robes of some old ancestor — That by the way—it may be true or false— Rut don’t forget the picture; and you will not When you have huard the tale they told me there. She was an only child—her name Ginevra, The joy; the pride of an indulgent father; And in her fifteenth year became a bride, .Marrying an only son, Francesco Doria, Her pley mute from her birth, and her first love. Just as she looks there in her bridal dress, She was all gentleness, all gaiety, Her pranks the favorite theme of every tongue. But now the day was come, the day, the hour; How, frowning, smiling, for the hundreth time— The nurse, that ancient lady, preached decorum; And iu the lustre vfh’er youth, she gave fir.? hand, with her heart hut, to Francesco. Great was the joy; but at the nuptial feast, When all sate down, the bride herself was Want ing. Nor was she to be found! Her father cried, **’Tis but to make a trial of our love!” And filled his glass to nil; but his hand shook, And soon from guest to guest the panic spread. ’Twas but that iartant she'had left Francesco, Laughing and looking Lack, and “ring still, Her ivory tooth imprinted on his finger, flat now, alas, she not to be found; ,Nur lkv>m thathour could any thing; he guessed, But that she was not! Weary of his line, Francesco few to Venice, and, embarking, Flung it away in battle with the Turks. Donati lived—and long might you have seen An old man wandering rs in quest of t'enaething, Something he could not find--he knew not what. When he was gone, the house remained a while Sjilent and tenantiew— then went to strangers. Full ftf-.y 3'ears were past. md all forgotten, When eo an idle day, a day of search M 5 this old lumber in the gallery, That mouldTing chest was noticed; and ‘twas said. By one .* young, as thoughtles as Ginevra, •• Why not rfemo’ e it from its linking place?” s-soon as said; bui on the way It burst, i .ell, audio, a skeleton, Vi h here and there a pearl, ?.n emerald stone, A golden clasp, cl ping a sin 4<; gold. All eise bad ptrial.ed—saves .ved.ui.g rmg, Afiil a snian seui, her mother’s legacy, jrl i ; wen with a name, the name of both, ♦Ginevra” T. ere then she had found her grave, V/i tli'n that chest had she concealed herself, Fluttering “ illijoy the happiest of the happy; When a spring-lock, tliat lay in ambush there Fastened her down forever.

SHAKSPEARE. There is a portrait of Shakspeare, in the possession of a gentleman of Dublin, which contains an inscription indicating that it was presented by our immortal bard him self to Ann Hathaway. The following is a copy of an original letter also sont to this young lady by Shakspeare w hen he was 27, and site 19 years of age; she af terwards became his wife : “ TO ANNA HATHAWAY®. Deeresste Anna—As thou haste alwaye founde mce toe mye worde moste trewe, soe thou shalt see 1 have stryctly kept mye promyse.

SHAKSPERE.” Press for the Blind. —A journal, print ed at Geneva, thus announces a very inter esting invention :— ’ A lady, deprived of her sight from birth, but distinguished for her wit, her talents, and good temper, con ceived that it might be possible to commu cate her thoughts to her family and friends by means of printing, if some skilful me chanic would invent for her a press, and give her the necessary instructions to make use of it—the application and patience for its accomplishment becoming afterwards entirely her own. She addressed herself to our countryman, Mens. Francois Huber, the celebreted historian of the bees, to whom she had the advantage of being related ; in addition to which a community of misfor tune (for he also is blind) increased the in terest he had in gratifyiug her request.— Thereupon, his own genius, and that of bis servant, Claude Lnchet, a man endowed with the highest degree ot natural talent for mechanics, were strongly excited.— They went *o work, and the press was in vented ; and was finished by Claude, who sent with it a collection of types to the a miable suggester of the plan, who soon made herself mistress most completely of this invaluable means of communicating her ideas. We have seen a letter of S3 l.ncs, addressed to her happy benefactor, composed and printed by herself with com mon ink, without a a literal error, or a sin gle typograpical irregularity.” I.ONDFN, April 20. The King’s visit to the Continent. —The foreign journals are full of accounts of pre parations for the reception of the Kiiig of England in various parts of the continent, especially Germany.
