MISCELLANEOUS.
CHRISTMAS DAY IN ROME.
BY CATHARINE TAYLOR.
We were in St. Peter’s yesterday before
eight o’clock, and were, I think, the first
party that arrived. Congratulating our
selves on our good fortune in having choice
of places, we took our station on the railed
seats appropriate to the ladies near the high
altar, which was sepcrated from the rest of
the church by a high screen covered with
crimson cloth. Two thrones were erected
within this inclosure for the Pope ; one op
posite to the altar, raised on steps, the oth
er at the side. Around were the seats des
tined for the cardinals, foreign princes, and
ambassadors. We had just time to see all
this, when a body of Swiss Guards, in their
harlequin dresses of red, yellow, and black,
came towards the spot where we were sit
ting, and we were speedily made to under
stand,bygesture more than speech,(for these
Guards know scarcely a word of Italian,)
that we must quit our comfortable places.
We obeyed reluctantly, and were thinking
very disconsolately on the possibility of
standing two hours in a crowd of ladies now
assembled round the entrance to the inclo
sure, when our servant came to tell us that
he had spoken to a sacristan, w ho had prom
ised to admit us into one of the small galle
ries, of which there are four beneath the
dome. Nothing could be better than this
situation; here we were quietly seated,
looking down on the expecting crowd of la
dies, who were not admitted to their places
until long afterwards. Permission being
once granted them to enter, in they rushed,
each one struggling and pushing her w'ay,
in no very lady-like manner; the guard,
in vain attempting to moderate their eager
ness, was.completely overpowered by them.
I felt ashamed, for they were most of them
our countrywomen.
We had still an hour and a half to
wait; but there was so much to amuse and
interest us in the novel scene, that time flew I
without our knowing it. Every moment
offered something new and strange. Now
a cardinal, with his long train of servants,
crossed the aisle in his bright scarlet robes,
—or returned having changed them for one
oi white satin and Gold. Now an
ambassador, with his suite, was ustiered
through the crowd with ail imaginable
pomp. Here, a priest, returning from a side
altar, appeared from one of the arches bear
ing the Host in his hand—there, a group of
peasants in their bright festal garments, or
a solitary friar pacing slowly along the
aisle. In a confessional opposite to us sat
a Dominican friar, listening amidst this gor
geous array to the tale of penitence which
a woman was pouring into his ear. Pres
ently the Guards Nobile arrived ; this is
the body-guard of his Holiness,and consists
of the sons of noble Roman families: their
dress is splendid,—scarlet and silver, with
graceful plumes of drooping feathers.—
They took their station near the altar, at the
-top of the avenue of soldiers, which now
reached to the great western door.
At ten o’clock the cannon ofSant Angelo
announced the approach of the procession,
*>•? w H° portslsw?rethrow a onen, and Iron’ •
the far end of the noble aisle, wo saw it slow
ly advancing, at first like a moving mass
of satin and feathers. By degrees howev
er we discerned the figures of which it was
composed ; first came attendants, bearing !
on crimson velvet cushions the various Pa
pal mitres and tiaras, the gold stall’ and
cross, and the insignia of the temporal
power of the l’ope. Bishops and cardinals
followed, each with his train of priests and
servants. Two men next appeared, with
largo fans of white Peacock’s leal hers, im
mediately preceding Santo Padre : those
fans are carried before the Pope, and the
eyes on the feathers are considered emble
matical of those of the whole human race,
which are directed to him as the Vice Re
gent of God on earth. His Holiness was
seated in a chair of crimson and gold, home
on the shoulders of twelve men in sumptu
ous liveries ; over his head floated a cano
py of white satin, supported on lances, car
ried by the Pali’rcnieri, as the persons se
lected for this office are called. He was
dressed in magnificent robes of white sat
in embroidered with gold, and on his head
was the triple crown: bestowing his benedic
tion on the people, by making the sign of the
cross in the air, he passed on to the high
altar, where descending from his airiul
throne, he knelt for a minute at a splendid
Pried-Dieu and was then conducted to his
chair of state. At this moment the Mass
began, the Choristers chanting a glorious
Kyrie Eleison. The cardinals eaeli knelt
in turn before the foot stool of the Pope and
kissed his hand ; the Bishops followed, and
kneeling pressed their lips to his knee,
while all their attendant priests saluted the
cross embroidered on his slipper. Each
as he retired bowed first to the Pope, as the
representative of God on earth, and then to
the right and left, as to the Son and Iloly
Ghost. Then the cardinals, receiving from
the priests at the altar various parts of the
Pope’s dress, proceeded to divest him of his
original robes. Ten were employed in
this ceremony, who stripping him of all his
gay attire, left him sitting in a plain dress
of white linen. I could not help smiling to
seethe grave old cardinals acting the part
of valets as they now unrobed, and again
dressed up their master like apuppet in sat
in and gold : at length the weighty task
was accomplished and the mass proceeded.
I cannot follow the mass through all the
accompanying genuflections, the walking to
and from the altar, the crowning and un
crowning ofthe Pope. Wearied out at last,
I sat with my eyes closed, listening to the
beautiful music ; there was no organ, but
the voices were rich and melodious, as they
poured forth strains of delicious harmony.
At last the Pope arose, and supported by
two cardinals approached the altar ; clouds
of incense ascended from the fuming cen
sors as he elevated the Host. That was a
moment never to be forgotten : the whole
multitude was prostrate, every head was
bent in adoration ; the arms of the soldiers
fell to the ground with a clanging sound,
and a deathlike silence followed. I
scarcely dared to breathe ; when from the
far end of the long aisle the full and silve
ry notes of a trumpet stole upon my ear
like sounds from heaven. Amidst assem
bled thousands the Pope alone was stand
ing ; three times he raised the cup, while
a stream of glowing sunshine, falling on
his uncovered head, seemed to light up the
altar : then he replaced the chalice; the
people rose, and loud hosanna’s resounded
through the mighty dome. There was a
power in the scene at that moment which
even my heretic heart acknowledged ; I
forgot the weak emblem which was the
object of adoration, and my thoughts rose
to him who is the only fountain of life and
light of all things.
o e
Enduring Affection. —There was, says
the Picayune, a man in New.Orleans, thir
ty years ago, who wanted a young lady to
marry him. He got the question as far
out as to say,” Madame, will you”—when
his heart failed him, and he ran away to
France. Yesterday he came back and
said —“Have me?”and the old lady said
—“ Certainly.”
Large Artificial Lake. —The Grand Ca
nal Reservoir in Mercer county, Ohio, cov
ers 13,000 acres of land,the water is from 4
to 27 feet deep. It is said to be the largest
artificial lake in the world.
Better Times. —lt is a matter of some
importance to hit upon a method of living
which will square with the times. We need
to reduce our expenditures full one half,
to escape from the embarrassments and
anxiety, which for the last two or three
years, almost every body has been invol
ved ; and retrenchment is the true policy.
Instead of waiting for better times to come
along, nobody knows how or when, l6t
every man set about making his own situa
tion easier, by curtailing his expenses and
limiting his wants; and, as the Irish max
im lias it,when every one helps himself, all
will be helped, and all will be comfortable
at a much smaller expense.
You pay a high rent, dress fashionably,
keep halfa dozen servants,with other things
on the same scale, and for what ? To keep
up appearances. You give from one to two
or three hundred dollars more for a house,
not because it will accommodate your fami
ly better, but to please the public. You
throw away your clothes before they are
half worn out, and get new, not because
they are more comfortable, but because
they look.better, and please the multitude
you pass in the street. Now we say that it
is not reason that a man should tax himself
thus exhorbitantly to please any body and
every body. Mind your own business, con
sider your own means. Rent a house for
yourself to live in, and not for the public to
look at.
If your coat is comfortable, wear it two
or three months longer ; no matter if the
gloss is otT. If you have no wife, get one ;
if you have, God bless her, stay at home
with hrt", instead of spending your evenings
in expensive, flat fooleries. Be honest, fru
gal, plain— seek content and happiness at
I home—be industrious and persevering ;
jjfcnd our word for ;t, ifyour arc in debt you
will get out of it; if your circumstances
are now embarrassed, they will soon be
come easy, no matter who may he Presi
dent or what may be the price of stocks.
