“To purchase her, then V* replied Barbarigo.
“Most infamous ! and would you, then, sell the
fconor of your daughter, Gianettini?”
| The stranger, who had listened with much cu
riosity to 6 - the conversation of these two Vene
tians, ro& from his seat, and laying his hand on
|he shoulder of Barbarigo, “Gondolier ” said he,
“Maria shall be your wife !”
| “Never!”

I “Nosuchluck; but I promise—you shall have

“But where shall I take it from, Signor 1”
jnutlered the surprised gondolier,
i “Not from the pocket of my doublet, my brave
fellow; for I am not much richer than a lazaro
fci. There is so much misery to relieve between
Florence and Venice, that I should not find there
in obolct. aßut, be not afraid—my poverty is the
lister of opulence, and my talents fill my purse
yvith gold, as soon as my benevolence has emp
i. lied it.”
Whilst talking thus the stranger opened his
f Jportfolio; he took out a parchment and spread it
i cn the table, and, in the space of a few minutes
• fie drew a hand with such marvelous skill that
■ [ pltho’perfectly ignorant of the art, the gondolier
i llould not help uttering an exclamation of sur
. ftrise.
• If “Here, ’ said the unknovn artist, giving to the
fisherman the hasty drawing, “take this parch
tnent to Pierre Bambo, who is now in the place
if St. Mark; telt him that a painter, destitute of
Inoncy, wishes to sell it for 2000 pistoles.”
|f “Two thousand pistoles!” exclaimed the tav-
Irn keeper, in the utmost surprise, ‘that man is
i :razy, I would not give one zechin for it.”
In the gourse of an hour the gondolier return
ee with the price that was asked ; to which the
1 Secretary of Leo X. had joined a letter, reques
j ing the artist, in the warmest terms, to honor
pirn with a visit.
The next day Maria and Barbarigo were uni
-5 led in the church of Stephano.
The stranger wished to contemplate the begin
ning of their happiness by being present at their
iiuptials; and wnen the gondolier, frantic with
loy.and penetrated with gratitude, entreated him
So tell his name, he answered that he was called
nlichael Angelo.
I Twenty years after this little incident, Anto
toio Barbarigo, by oue of those extraordinary
Changes of v?hich God only possesses the secret,
was promoted to the rank of General of the Ve
netian Republic. But, however intoxicating to
Ihe former fisherman was this unexpected eleva
tion, he did not forget his illustrious benefactor ;
pnd when Buonaroiti died at Rome, after a mag
nificent old age, and the most brilliant career
known to an artist, the former gondolier,
jvith his own hand, wrote under the Latin epi
taph composed by the successor of Paul the 111.,
tor his favorite, these two lines of gratitude
Pvhich time has respected and which may still be
seen on the mausoleum of the great man.
I Woman.
e BY REV. J. N. MAFFITT.
■Oh, woman ! truth and passion reach the throne
(W here thou dost sit triumphant and alone ;
fßright shapes of titful fancies throw
Prismatic colors o’er thy beauties glow—
Before a thousand shrines thy feelings burn,
i As vestals wtive theiijtapers o’er the urn ;
i A seeming fickle nature imbues
The color of thy mind with rainbow hues—
I Yet when awakened to some daring deed,
■When grief and trials come, and nations bleed,
| When fields of blood re-echo shrieking cries,
■ And H pe’s lone star hath left the shrouded skies ;
a Tis then tlfy mighty heart shall fully prove
II The strength of all thy constancy and love !
■; Who longest lingers at the bed of death,
1 With kisses winning back the fleeting breath ?
Who longest at the chill lone tomb shall stay,
i Pale sentinel o’er cool and paler clay ?
I “uast at the cross, and earliest at the grave,”
Ah, woman ! ’tis th3’ chosen hour to save,
f i When maihood’s haughty crest has fallen low,
W Shattered and broken by the stunning blow.

of the cause, we shall, after the first of August,
reduce the price to FIFTY CENTS a copy, or two

A CARD. —In crossing the Savannah river in
the ferry boat from Hamburg to Augusta,on Satur
day afternoon. May 30, I threw (by permission)
my blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon
of an individual, who, with his wife and a small
child, was crossing at the same time. The wife
knew of the fact, for it was to her I addressed
myself. When I arrived at the landing, I came off
leaving my cloak, which was carried off by the
ndividuals alluded to. The lady, if I mistake not,
told me they were moving from South Carolina to
the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any
kind friend could give me the clue to their names,
or the place to which they were travelling, so that
I may obtain my valuable cloak, he would confer
a favor upon one who at times is too forgetful for
his own interest. JAMES SEWELL,
