■ Thorvaldsen’s First Love.
Some flfty-flvo years ago, a young woman
of prepossessing appearnneo wob seated In a
small back room of a hoilso in Co)icnliagon,
weeping bitterly. In her lap lay a fow
trlukutsand otlior small articles, evidently
keepsakes which sho had received from time
to time. She took up ono after the other,
and turned them ovor and over ; but she
could scarcely distinguish thorn through her
blinding tears. Themsho buriud hor .face In
her bauds, and rocked to and ft-o In agony.
_ “Ah I" moaned sho,” andls It this! All
my dreams of happiness nro vanished—all
my hopes are dead I lie will even go without
bidding mo fercwcll.' Ah, Htmlint that I
liavo l^od to sco this bitter day I hovel vecre
Oud l
At this momenta hasty tap at tlio door
was followed by the entrance of tho Object of
lior grlof. Ha was a young man about twon-
ty-flvn years Af ago, bis porson middle-size j
and strongly built, his features massive, regu
lar, attractive—his long hair fluxed, Ids eyo
blue. This was Bertel Thorvaldsen—a name
which lias slnco then sounded throughout
the world, as that of tiio most illustrious
sculptor of modem times. His stop was firm
anil quick, his eyes bright, and his features
glowing, as hu entered tlio room'; but when
ho beheld thonttitndo of tlio weeping fenmlo,
a shade passed over his countenance, as ho
gently walked up to her, and laying his hand
on iicr shoultlor: murmured, Amalie I't
“ Bertel 1" answered a smothered volco.-
Tho young Dane drew a chair to hor sido,
and silently took licr tcar-bcdewcd hands.—
Amalie I" said ho, after* pause broken on
ly by her quivering sobs, “I am coins to bid
theo farowoll. I go in tho riiornlng.”
Sho ceased weeping, raised her fitco, and
releasing her hands, pushed back hcr'dlshcv-
cllcd hair. Then sho wiped lior eyes, and
gazed on him In n way that made his own
droop. 11 Bertel,” said slic, In a solemn tone,
but void of all reproach, “ Bertel, why did
you win my young heart 1 why did you lead
mo to hope that I should become the wife of
your bosom 1"
“ I—I always meant It; I mean it now.”
She shook her head monrnfully, and taking
up the trinkets, conlinueil, “ Do you remem
ber wliat you said when yon gavo mo tills—
and. this—and this 1”
“ What would you hnvo, .Amallo 1 I said I
around, .and drop ono tear, to-tho memory of
tho -lowlyDanlah girl who loved you better
tban-hofsolf. Bertoli/areiMfl f"
The next day Thorvaldsen quitted Copen
hagen for Rome, where ha resided nearly tho
whole romalndor of his long life, and more
than realized his own -wildest aspirations of
femo. Butthoprophccy of poor Amallo was
litomllyfUlflllod—ho never more boliold his
parents, nor her, his flrst love I
Nearly half a century had olnpsed, and
again the scene was Copenhagen. • The stroots
wore donsoly crowded with eager, sorrowing
spectators, and ovory window of overy liouso
was filled with sndly-oxpoctant facos. At
lchgththo cry, "They coipol" was echoed
front group to group, and the crowd swayed
to rind fro, under tho aympathotio swell of
one common emotion.
A withered old woman was seated at the
upper window of a house, and whon tho cry
was taken up, sho raised her wrinkled- coun
tenance, and passed her hands over her eyes,
as though to clear away tho mist of more than
seventy winters. An lmmonso procession
drew nigh. Appropriate military music pre
ceded a corpso being convoyed to its last
earthly abiding plaoe." The King of tho land,
the royal finally, the nobility, the clergy, tho
learned, tho bravo, tho gifted tho ronowed,
walked after it. Tho bannort of mourning
wore waved, tho trumpets wailed, and ten
thousand sobs broke aliko ftom stem and
gentle breasts, and tears from tho oyo of war
riors as well as lovely women Bhowcred like
rain. It was tho fhnoral of Bertel Thorvald
sen, with tlio Danish notion for mourners I
And she; the old woman who gazed at it os it
slowly wound—she was Amallo, his first lovol
Thorvaldsen had never married, neither had
she. ■ '
“Ah, Bimlent" murmured tho old woman,
wiping away tears (Yoma soureo which for
many long years hadbeon.dry, "how marvel
lous is tho will of Cod I-.To think that I-
should live to behold this sight I Poor, poor.
Bertel I All that I predicted camo to pass ;
but, ah me I who knows whether you might
not havo enjoyed a happier life, after all, had
you stayed with your old father and mother,
and married mo. Ah, Bimlen, there's only
om? can tall I Poor Bertol I”
Four years more sped, and ono flno Sab
bath morning an aged and decrepit female
iminftilly dragged her weary limbs through
tho crowded lowor rooms of that wondrous
building known as Thorvaldsen's Museum.—
Sho paused not to glanco at the matchless
works of tho sculptor, but crept onward until
shd reached on open doorway leading into
tho inner quadrapgol, jn tho centre of which
a lower tomb - ef-g-my maslilii-vn&'osua.. tlw

Tlio samo night two men wore walking on
tho Levee; ono was hCarso with passion, the
other cool and collected, They were Rodol-
plioand Willis. .
"Rodolpho, will yon restore-my money 1
Y9U know you won by .trickery, l( It was not
mine,—it belonged to my fhthcr, otherwise I
would not euro.”
'!Novcr!" answered Rodolpho.
" Listen tome, then,”ropllod Willis, About
throe months ago, my father left in my hands
flvo thousand dollars, tgfoop.As bo was about
departing on a jourlicy. I wm Introduced lu-
to your company by that villain James; you
won that money ftom me, basely, fklsely de

drawing a pistol ftom Ids breast.
“ No, It lllls, not one cant of tho monoy will

"Then die, thon cursed villain I and may
tho deed I commit be considered in a just
light 1” Tho report of a pistol followed,—a
low groan ftom Rodolpho, and all was still.
Willis carried tho body to tho water—a loud
splash was hoard, and tho bluesurihco closed
over the corpse of the uqfortunato gambler.

“ But you lovo ambition, fame, the praise

Thorvaldson started, and his features flush
ed ; for he felt acutely tho truth of her words.
“ Yes, you will leaye gamcl Danmark—you
will leave your poor, fond old father and
mother, whoso only hope and only earthly
joy is in you—you will leavo mo, and jill who
lovo tho sound of your footsteps, and go to the

“ Novcr, Bortcl I—never I Whon onco you

In heaven wo may all meet again ; on earth,
never I 0 no, novcr more will you sco In this
life either your parents or your poor brokou-
hearted Amalie I”—and agaiu her sobs burst
forth.
Thorvaldsen abruptly roso ftom his chair
and paced tho room In agitation. Bo was
much distressed, and onco or twice ho glan
ced at Amalie with evident hesitation. Bis
past life tlio pleasures of his youth, tho en
deared scenes and friends of his childhood,
tho affection of Amallo, tho anguish of his
parents at the approaching separation, all vi
vidly passcdljn review, and whispered to him
to stay and bo happy in tho city of his birth.
But a vision of Romo rose also, and beckoned
him thither to earn renown, wealth, and
earthly immortality. Tho prido of conscious
genius swelled his soul,and lie felt' that tho
dio was cast forever.
Ho rcsoated himself by tho side of Amallo,
and once more took lior handf • Sho looked

which may be regarded os authentic, having,

She withdrew her hands, and peered at

RODOLPHO;
The Gambler’s Doom.
UV MISS J, BALDWIN.
Boated In tho parlor of one of our largest
hotels,In tho city of Now York, was a young
man ofporlmps two and twenty years of ago.
Ho was dressed in thb fhshion of tho dny. A
handsome gold chain adorned his neck, and a
profusion of rings studded his fingers. Ro
dolpho, (as wo shall call him,) as Wo havo
said boforo, wnssitting in-tho parlor Indulging
iri various thoughts, whena mail of small pro
portions and ol'mcnn'appcnranco entered,arid
whispered a few words in his ear. Rodolpho
aroso, and both left tho room.' Tho next af
ternoon he might have been soon upon tho
deck of ono of our largo steamers, bound for
Now Orleans. HIsappcaranco was very dif
ferent from that of tlio preceding day—his
countenance wore a troubled expression, Tho
rings wliicli encascd Ills fingers tlio day before
had now disappeared. Ho juiced the deck
with an unsteady step. Brit his manner was
ciianged when the blue bills Were loft behind,
and nothing but tho water before him; ho
was as gay and os lively os any on board, uutil
tho stoamor was iri sight of Now Orleans—
thon'liis countenance wore tho samo troubled
expression as before. As soon as ho landed
ho sought a enrriago and was drivun to tho
flrst hotel in the city.
IIo retired to his room, and having comple
ted bis arrangements, lie made his appear
ance Hi tho parlor. He had not been long In
that room, before a young man of about the
same ago entered; his face was livid with an
ger. Upon the sight of him Rodolpho turned
pale, but quickly recovering liis^lf possession
ho advanced to. tho stranger and oilbrod his
band.

Imitating and provoked by our fatal example,
may turn upon ush). tlio' hour of weakness
and exhaustion, arid, with an almost equally
irresistible force of reason and of arms, thoy
may say to us, 1 You havo set us tho examplo;
you havo quit your own to stand on foreign
ground; you have abandoned the policy you
professed In tho day Of your weakness, to in
terfere in tho affairs of tho people upon this
continent, in bclinlf of tlioso principles the
supremacy of which you say. Is necessary, to
your prosperity, to your existence., Wo in

spirit of our people might and would be equal
to the emergency, and we might remain un-
subduod oven by so tremendous a combina
tion, but tho cotisoqucnccs to us would bq.ter-
rlble enough. You must allow mo sir, to
speak thus freely, as I fool deeply, though my
opinion may bo of but little import, as tin/
expression of a dying man. Sir,, tlio recent
melancholy subveraon of the republican gov
ernment of Franco, and that enlightened na
tion voluntarily placing its nock under tho
yoka of despotism, teach us to despair of any
present success for liboral institutions in Eu

After tlio mutual intcrchanga of civilities,
"I oivo you, sir,” said Mr. Clay; "an n;iology
for not having acceded before to tho desire

been so feeble that, I did not dare to hazard

which becomo tho Interest tho subject has

I onto taiu over tho liveliest,sympathies in

ovory country. And in this, I boliovo, I ex
press tho universal sentiment of my country

you must allow mo to protest against tho po
licy you propose to her. Waiving tlio gravo
and momentous question of the right of ono
nation to assumo the executive power among
nations for tho enforcement of international
law, or of tho right of the United States to
dictato to Russia the character of her rela
tions with tho nations around hor, let us come
at onco to tlio. practical consideration of the
matter. You tell us yourself, with great truth
and propriety, that more sympathy, or tlio
oxprcsslon-of sympathy, cannot advanco your
purposes. You require material aid. And,
indeed, it is manifest that tho mere declara
tions of tlio sympathy of Congress, or of tho
President, or of tho public, would bo of little
avail, unless wo were prepared to enforco
those declarations by a resort to arms, and
unless -other nations could see that prepare-
tion and determination upon our part. Woll,
sir, supposo that war should bo tho issuo of

effect any thing for you, ourselves, or tlio
oauso of libortyl To transport mon nnd
arms across tho ocean in sufficient numbers
and quantities to bo effective against Russia
and Austrln would bo impossible. It is a feet
which porlinps may not bo generally known,
that tho most Imporatlvo reasori with Great
Britain for tho closo of her last war with us
was tho lmmtnso cost of tho transportation
and maintenance of, forces and tho munitions
of War on suoli a distant theatre; and yet sho
had not'perhaps more than thirty thousand
men upon thia-continorit at any timo... Upon
land Russia is invulnorabk, to us, os w6 aro
to hor. Upon tho ocean, a war between Rus
sia and this country would result in tho mu
tual annoyance to .comiuoreo, but probably in
llttlo . else. I learned recently that her war
marine is suporior. to that Of any nation in
Europe, except perhaps Great Britain. • Her
ports are few, her eonuuorco limited.; while

cruisers a rich rind oxtonsivo commerce.—

Tho Ministry of the Atmosphere.
* Tho ministry of our Atmosphere affords ua
perpetual lessons, nt onco beautiful and sub-
llino, Tlio nir is tlio great laboratory la
-which Nature performs an uninterrupted
series of philosophical experiments, as varied
os they nro magnificent I could not briefly,
alllido to tho thousand beautiful aud impor
tant purposes which it subsorves iu tho vast
economy ofNaturo; but there aro two agen
cies intimately connected with tho toplo
which I havo dismissed, to which I shall ven
ture to refer. Tlioso ngondcs nro the reflect
ing powers of tho atmosphere. To tho for
mer wo nro indobtod for tlio difiusion of light
in ovory direction. If tho atmosphere pos
sessed no such power, tho rays of tho sun
would bo darted through it llko so many ar
rows of fire. Tlio sun itself would hang la
'tllO heavens a rln7a1ing-et»hsro vrlllu/Allg lus
tre, upon which no oyo could glanco without
destruction, wliilo all around It would ba
tho blackness of darkness.’ Tlio light which
forever, flowing from tho solar fountain, la
transmitted and reflected by tho atmosphere
In a myriad diverging rays, nnd thus its mas*
Is equally aud richly illuminated—presenting'
to tho oyo a vision of unparalicd beauty and
splendour. Tho bluo of tlio sky Is, indeed,
tho color of the air, invlslblo inmlnuto quan
tities, but revealed whon its vast volume is ir
radiated by tho sqjilight. Bo, looking at tho
distant hills through tlio douse surface strata
oftboalr, they exhibit tho same tint as Uio
sky—making tho language of the poet M
true as it is boaUtlfrii—
' 'Tis distance lends enchantment to the view
And robes the inountnin on its azure hue'.’

“Nonstiriso! re|fi!edtho gentleman; “you

was onco a beggar llko you. A gontlomnn gavo
mo a crown piece, and said to mo, “ Work, and
don't beg; God helps tbOSo who help them
selves. I at onco loft B——, nnd got out of
tlio way of my old oompanlons. I remember-,
ed tbo advice given mo by my mother, before
she diod, nnd I began to pray to God to keep
mo from sin; and to. give uo his help day by
dny. I treat round to tbo houses in tlio coun
try-places, and with part of my five shillings,
bought old rags. Those I took,to tho paper-
mills and sold thorn at a profit. I was willing
to glvo'a fair pricafer tho things I bought. oud
did not try to soli ttacrii for more than I be
lieved thoy wore worth. I determined to bo
honest, and God prospered me. My purcha
ses and profits bccamo larger and larger; and
now I have got more than ton thousand crown
pieces that I can call my own, Quo great
thlngthat-has contributed to my success is
this: TbftVC kept ftoui’dririkkind tobacco;”
As tbo gentleman spoke, be took out bis
purso, and drew ftom it a five shilling piece,
and handed It to tho astonished beggar ho said,
“ Now you have the somo clianco of getting
on in tho world as I had. Go and work, and
lot mu nuvor seo you bogging again. If I. do,
I will hand you over to tho police.”
Years passed away. Tho gentleman had
forgotten tho oircumstanco, until ono day,
whon tmvolljng through F ,be entered a
respectable looking bookseller's shop, in ordor
to purchase somo books that lio wanted.
He had not boon many minutes in conver
sation with tho bookseller boforo tile latter,
cagorly looking into tho face of tho customer,
Inquired, -" Sir, are not you the gontlctnan
who, sovoral yoars ago; gave a five-shilling
picco to a poor beggar at tho end of this
street!"
“ Y'es.I remember it well."
“Thon,-Blrj this house, this woll-stocked
shop, is tho fruit of,that flvo shilling piece.”
Tears of gratitude trickclod down ids checks
as lio introduced the gontlomon to his happy
wife and children. Ho was regarded as their
benofoctor. Whon gathered round tho tablo
to partako of a cup of tea, the bookseller re
counted his history from the abovo eventful
dny. It was very similar to that of tho wol-
como visitor. By industry,-honesty, and de
pendence upon God’s bolp, ho had rison stop
by step, ftom buying rags, to soiling papers
and tracts in tlio street, then tokcoping an old
book-shop, and ultimately to bo owner of ono
of tlio best circulating libraries in tho place.
Boforo tho happy party separated, the largo
oldfomily Bible was brought, out of which a
I’salm of thanksgiving was road, and then all
bent around tho family altar. Words could
not express tho feelings of thoso who formed
that group. For somo moraonts, silcnco in
termingled with subdued sobs, evidenced the
gratitude to the Almighty DiBposor ofall c-
vonts, which was ascending to heaven.
Flakes of Sold.
Derido not tho unfortunate, -
Persons in loVo generally resolve first, and
reason afterwards. '
Tho heart has its reasons, which reason
dops not opprehond. ’
A quiet mind, llko other blessings, is more
easily lost than gained.
-None'havo loss pmiso than thoso who hunt
most for it.
To tlio refracting power of tho air wo ar*
indebted for tlio beautiful phenomenon of
tho crepuscnhim, or morning and evening
twilight, wiiich tho Scotch so poetically call
' the gloaming.’ When the sun is below tha
borizon, either nt its risihg or setting, its rays,
broken or deflected by tlio ntttftBifcre, will
still roach our oyos, and thoso rays,. riimfftad
and reflected by tho-entangled vapours of
tho nir, create a peculiar radiance, tho degre*
and duration of which depend upon tlio dis
tance of tho sun bolow tho visiblo horizon.. 1
Tlio ntmosphoro is thus made, tho liera’d
of tho npproaohing king of day, ushering him
to his tlirono witli pomp and splendor, and
when his audionco with tjio World closes, and
ho retires through tho western gates of lio*.
von, liko a faithful follower it holds up th*
skirt of his gold and purplo.robcs, which fling;
back.upon tlio gathering-gloom of evening
tlio soft and dreamlike radiance of tho twi

Tho Llttlo Boy and tho Rose.
Disobedience, oir not miNdi.no wiiat is
said to os.—A llttlo boy wns nllowed ono day
torarablo about a garden, in which were ma
ny choice flowora; but ho was desired not (o
touch anyofthem. IIo, howovor, soon forgot
what way said to him; and seeing a pretty
rosO, he ventured to pluck It. In a few min
utes his linger streamed with blood, for It was
severely scratched, and ho cried bitterly, and
ran (o his sister. Sho bound rip the wound,
but reproved him. • “Ah,brother, ifyou had
minded wliat was said to you, and not' gather
ed the rose, yon would not have been wounded
bv tho thorn.”
Forbidden pleasures nlwai lead to pain.—
If 'children will ho satisfied with the indnlgen-
oles given to them, they will bo safo ftom tho
consequences of wllfttlnosa or disobedience;
but whon thoy think thoy are wiser than their
parents, thoy are snro afterwards to lmvo rea
son to lio sorry. Children suffer in tho end
more pain from reproof, chastisement nnd
slinmo, whon thoy do things forbidden by tin Ir
parents, than they oqjuy pleasures in tho per
formance of thorn.
Influence of a Bmile.—It is related in tlio
life of a colcbratcd mathematician, Wm. Hut.
ton, that* respectable-looking country wo
man called upon him ono day, anxious to
speak with him. Sho told him with an air
of) socrcsy that her husband behaved unkind
to hor, andsouglit othor.company, frequently
passing his evenings from homo, which made
her fool extremely unhappy; and knowing
Mr. Hutton to ho a wiso man, Bho thought he
might bo able to toll hor liow sho should
manage to euro her husband.
Tho caso was ri common ouo, and ho thought
ho could proseribo for It without losing hie
reputation as a conjurer. “Tho remedy Is a
simple ono,” said ho, “but I have never know*
it to fall—Always treat your husband aid a
smile." ”
Tho woman expressed her thanks, di
a courtesy, and went a'.vay. Afowi
afterwards sho waited on Mr. Hutton,
couple of fine fowls, which sho begged 1
accept. She told him, while a tear of Jr
gratitude glistened in hoi eyo, t
followed his advice, and her
cured. Ho no longer song
othors, hut treated her v
kindness.
