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.
