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 ‘■No matter now,” .-aid Willis, “ the trim- is us—after the clmvnfiill, pi-i-lmps, of the friends should be treasured up, mid which might yet j. tilv'o mo your hund-Rodolplio.” It was ofliboral institutions In Europo—lior despots, orio day profit his country in her pupilage.— presented, and he drow.it w|thln his arm and thoy loft tho room togothor. 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 ceived me. I know it not then—I was des perate—that villain James told mo yon had cheated me. I swore I would recover tho money before I again ontcrod my father's houso, or else your blood mnst atono for ltl Now aro you willing to pay mo tho morioy,-or a'partof itl said he firmly, at tho same time drawing a pistol ftom Ids breast. “ No, It lllls, not one cant of tho monoy will I ovor return to you I" "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.

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 distant land, and forget us all!” " Min Pigc! you are cruel and unjust, shall come back to my old father and mother —come back to theo, and wo shall bo happy again.” “ Novcr, Bortcl I—never I Whon onco you havo gone, there is no more happiness for us.

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.

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. .“ Villain 1 restore me my money first before I over take your hand again.” .ri.’Iou do' not seem to considor I won it Prom tie National Intelligencer.

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 rope; it givos us an Impressive warning not to roly upon othors for tho vindication of our principles, but to look to ourselves, and to cherish with more care than over tho security •four institutions and tho preservation of our “ I beg you to believo," said Mr. Clay, in terrupting him, “ that it is I who am lionor- c'd.

But really my health has been so feeble that, I did not dare to hazard tho excitement of so interesting an interview. Besides, Bir,” ho added with sotuo pleasantry, “ your wonder Ail aud fascinating oloquonco bps mesmerized so largo a portion of ourpco pio, whoroyer yqu havo gono, and .even somo of our mombers of Congress," waving hjs hand towards tho two or tlreo gentlemen, who wore present, “that.I feared to como under its Influonco, lest you might shako my filith In somo principles .In regard to. tlio for eign policy of this government which I havo long and constantly cherished, And in re gard to this matter, y.m will allow me, I liopo, 'to speak witli that sinccrelty and candor which becomo tho Interest tho subject has for you and for myself, nnd which are duo to us both as tho votaries of ftccdom. 1 trust you will boliovo mo, too, whon I tell you that I onto taiu over tho liveliest,sympathies in overy struggle for liborty—in Ilngary, and in ovory country.

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.

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.

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.
