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.
The following d 1 sprit was addressed by the
liuke of Gordon, to Mr. Coutts, on his marriage
with Miss Melon:

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. I pray you perfume tiiys mye

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.”

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. His Majesty will
visit Cologne, Benn, Coblentz ; there cross
the Rhine to inspect the almost impregna
ble fortres* of Ehrenbreitstein, Jouannis
burgh, the seat of Prince Metternich, Wi
eabaden, Frankfort, (anti in that neighbor
hood continue a day or two with his sister
the Princess of iiesie .ombonrg) Darm
stadt, Manheicn, IKidelburg, (to see the
great tun,) Ludwigsburg, Stutgard, (where
with the Queen Dowager of Wurtemburg,
late Princess Royal of England, he w ill re
main some time, not having seen her since
she left her home ;) from thence to Ulm,
cross the Danube, and pass through Augs
borgh to Munich 5 afterwards over the
plain of Hohenliiiden to P.tssau, or go a*
once to llegenshurg, to visit the father of
Princess Esterhazy, and there embark on
the ’• dark rolling Danube,” for Vienna.—
It is said Itis majesty has expressed a wish
to stop at the fine city of Lentz, also at
the noble convent at Molk, of which a cor
rect description is given by Dibbin, in his
biographical and picturesque Tour ; also
to inspect the fine min in which the lion
hearted Richard’was confined. The Mar
q i? of Hastings, who is on his return
oir. government in India, has been ap
pointed Ambassador to Austria. He does
not come here, but is expected to meet the
King of England at Vienna. The sports
and pastimes in preparation by the Empe
ror of Austria, 19 reported to be on a scale
of uncommon tnagnificpne : alt the petty
princes and inferim Kings in Germany
will assist at these banquets. His Majes
ty has promised to visit the principality of
Esterhazy, iii Hungary, and return by way
of Prague, Toplitz, and Dresden. Should
the state of the road permit, he will go
from thence to Berlin, and take Ilanover
in his way home. Paris is included in the
tour, but in what stage of it is not yet de
termined.— Morning Chronicle.
