At la’/ The painting that 1 was most anxious to see in '
A yitiome was the Beatrice de Ctnci. I found this ,
’in the Barberini Palace, and was not disap- ,
pointed—on the other hand, gratified beyond |
»;* expectation. How many know the history of j
this unfortunate girl ? Many think that there is j
something romantic about her. Alas ! her his
tory is not at all romantic, but infinitely horri- j
ble.
The picture was taken just before her execu- •
tioD. It is as remarkable for the firmness and j
resignation depicted on the countenance as for j
beauty. It is not wonderful that she should be
resigned to die, under the circumstances, but [
the calm and sweet repose of her lace is wonder- ;
fni - - , • u !
The old Boman Forum is a grand sight, >
though in ruins; grand in appearance, far
grander in historic associations. Near by the
Forum is the Tarpeian Bock, from which con
demned criminals were thrown. It is not half
as high as it used to be. A criminal thrown
from it now would stand about an equal chance
of not being killed. It is not more than twenty
feet high. The rock has not worn away so
much; the streets and foundations of the ancient
city have been covered overby the accumulation j
of soil and rubbish to the average depth of about j
twenty-five feet. On Capitoline Hill stands a .
modern capitol, also a splendid museum. The I
Venus of Milo is there, very fine—larger than
the Medici. The celebrated ‘‘Dying Gladiator ”
is in that museum—my fovcrite piece of statu
ary.
Descending Capitoline Hill, past the Forum,
we come to Folotine Hill, where the houses of
Cicero, Croesus, Mark Anthony, Julius Caesar
and the Falace of the Caesars, Augustus and Ti
berius once stood; only the ruins remain.
Still on,, following the Appian Way, we pass
through the Arches ot Titus and of Constantine,
and come to the Coliseum, the most stupendous
work oi Borne, built by Vespasian, and inaugu
rated with games and gladiatorial combats, that
lasted one hundred days, during which five
thousand wild beasts and many thousand Chris
tians were slain for the amusement of the popu
lace.
Following the Appian Way four miles,we come
to the Catacombs of St. Calixtus, excavated by
the early Christians, who lived in them to escape
persecution. There their dead were buried.
Catholic writers assert that fourteen Popes and
170,COO Christians were buried in these Cata
combs. Imagination would fail to paint any
thing more glocmy and dismal than these dark,
damp, intricate corridors, lined with thousands
of dead men’s hones. Speaking of “bones,”
reminds me of the Capuchin Monastery, in
Borne. In the basement of it are the hones of
six thousand of the Order, arranged into every
conceivable combination— clocks, tables; chairs,
etc. When one died, they resurrected another
who had been in the ground three or four years,
and put the new one in his grave. The soil in
which they are buried was brought from Jeru
salem. Victor Immanuel has forbidden any
burials within the limits ot the city; so the
monks have to he buried outside now. The last
bnried there was in 1867; the last resurrection,
1871.
The most perfect structure of ancient Borne is
the PantheoD, which shows no signs of decay.
FROM BOMB TO NAPLES.
After having seen Naples, I was not quite
willing to die, though I never expect to see a
finer sight. True, Paris has prettier streets,
houses and gardens, and Florence has prettier
women, but taking into consideration the sur
roundings of Naples—the mountain, the sea, the
bay—no city can beat it. A great objection to
Naples, ana to all Italian cities, is the narrow-
nets of the streets. The principal thoroughfare,
lbe “ Broadway ” of that large city of 500,000 in
habitants, is not as wide as an ordinary streetof
an American country town.
From Naples we went down to Pompeii, fif
teen miles, to see the exhumed city. Judging
from the walls and floors of the houses, which
are nearly all that remain of them. The Pom
peiians lived in much splendor. The walls are
decorated with fine oil-paintings and frescoes of
Venuses, Cupids, birds, trees and other things.
The floors are marble, in Mosaic, often in varie
gated colors. The dining-halls were the largest
and handsomest rooms, and the paintings on
the walls well calculated to keep one cheerful
while at meals, a matter too much neglected by
mankind generally. Glaucus and Sallust lived
there in very elegant mansions. Several petri
fied bodies have been exhumed. They are kept
in glass cases, and are shown to visitors. Two
of these are a woman and a girl, the woman
holding the girl in her arms; they are called the
“Mother and Daughter.” One is a man lying
on his iace, his head resting on his arm—a pic
ture of despair. Another is a woman enciente.
We wanted to see the volcano; so we told our
host to send up a guide. He came and proposed
to take us, my friend and me, for twenty-two
francs, fire lor each of our horses, including
one for himself, five for his services, and two for
a email boy to hold. We told him he might pay
for his own horse and the small boy; he dis
pensed with both and took fifteen francs. At
midnight we came down, and found two ponies
about the size of donkeys. The guide followed
on foot with a sharp stick, and kept the ponies
in a brisk trot. Shortly after we began ascend
ing the mountain we saw through the gloom
the tall, dusky form of an Italian emerge from
the roadside in front of us; then another, and
another. We didn’t like the appearance of af
fairs at all: these must he brigands, thought we.
We had no pistols, but we clutched our pen
knives desperately, and determined to sell our
lives as dearly as possible. Gradually they
dropped behind, to knock" us off with the long
poles they carried, we imagined. But they
didn’t knock us off; they seized the ponies’tails
—the three brigands and our guide to the two
ponies—and allowed themselves to be dragged
up the mountain. Soon we had to dismount.
W’e tied some stones to our bridle reins, to hitch,
and put some in our pockets as reinforcement
to the pen-knives, and began to climb. The
ascent is extremely laborious; the mountain is
covered over with ashes, loose sand and gravel,
so that yon slide hack nearly as far as you step.
There is some danger, too; tor a false step would
Bend one rolling down the mountain with such
velocity as to endanger life. So steep is the
mountain that when one lies down to rest he has
to gouge his elbow into the sand and ashes to
keep lrom sliding. Before going twenty steps I
fell completely exhausted. The brigands rushed
upon me, and began their assault:
“ZeOnglaymonheverrayfatigue;heno go—
imposseeb. Me pullee— five francs.”
The brigands stood before me in their true
and nnromantic colors; the mystery was solved.
Our guide had informed these vagabonds that
two rich Englishmen were going np Vesuvius
that night, and if they should be on hand they
might make a spec. The plan was a failure; my
friend didn't need their help, and I told them I
would see them at the bottom of the “crater”
before I would give them a centime.
I started again, but soon gave out. They at
tacked me again:
“Ze Onglaymon he veeray fatigue. No tink of
ze monish, tink of ze helt."
And thtn they poured forth a most awful and
j . At prayers the clergyman read, without know
ing his wife’s experience, “ Whatsoever ye ask
believing, ye shall receive.” When he had gone
to his study, Mrs. Wells found time to tell Mary
how disheartened she had been that morning,
and how the busy, cheery robin had given her
courage to lay all her burden at the Master’s
feet.
“How easy it is to trust when one is blessed,”
said she.
“I did not think my coming would be con
sidered a blessing, replied Mary, hiding under
her merry way the deep impression made by
! the minister s wife's trust. “I’ll run in every
morning till the baby gets well. I don't know
j what we’ve all been thinking of to leave you to
struggle alone.”
Sometime after that, Mrs. Wells’ people felt
j new interest in the household cares of their
pastor's wife; other “help” came: one and an
other “fulfilled the law of Christ” in bearing
her burdens.

harrowing account of an “ Onglaymon” who
tried to ascend unaided, and was “so veeray fa
tigue zat he die.” They kept up their persecu
tions till we got to the top, and then withdrew
to waylay us on our return.
I suffered—but I had my reward. To one who
will undergo all the difficulties of ascending Ve
suvius is offered a sight equal to any that mor
tals ever enjoy. There cannot be a more enrap
turing view than that to be obtained from the
summit of the mountain. Twelve miles away
is the city of Naples; six miles to the south,
Pompeii; farther on, the blue Mediterranean,
hemmed in on three sides by mountain walls
and dotted with pretty villages. It makes one
shudder to look over the steep precipice down
into the crater, from which the burning sulphur
is rolling up dense clouds of smoke. Having
seen the sun rise, and having rested from our
exertions, we lit our cigars at the crater and be
gan to descend. Instead of taking an hour and
a half, as in ascending, we got down in ten
minutes. Instead of stepping two feet and slip
ping back one and a half, we stepped six and
slipped forward three. When we got back to
the ponies, there were the “brigands” waiting
with wine to sell. I wouldn’t buy any, though I
never wanted wine so badly in all my life.
Then they wanted to hold my pony while I
mounted, but I rejected their offer. Then they
began to beg for money. Once more I was happy.
They had persecuted me, and now I had my re
venge. They had walked six miles and climbed
to the top of Vesuvius, and now they had to
tread their weary way hack, with nothing for
their pains save a few centimes from the hand
of my more generous friend.
Beggars are as plentiful in Italy as blackber
ries. One must fill his .pockets with centimes
before going out in the morning, or close his
heart to many very piteous appeals for charity.
They infest the cathedrals and annoy you there
no little. While yon are studying and admir
ing some masterpiece of art, you must submit
to have their bony bands thrust before your
eyes, and to be interrupted by their unintelli
gible mumblings, which, I suppose, are prom
ises to help pray your soul out of purgatory
when it gets there, if you will give them a few
centimes.
The beggars are a great burden to Italy, but
not half as great as the priests and soldiers. Let
ns give these worthies a short notice. It seems
that nearly every tenth man you meet on the
streets c.f an Italian city is a soldier or a priest,
or a monk. They are known by their peculiar
dress. The priests wear long black robes about
the shape and fit of a lady’s dressing-gown, and
a three-cornered hat. The friars are as useless
as the priests. They neither preach nor work;
bnt they devote themselves to a life of celibacy
and religious retirement. They eat other peo
ple’s bread and wear other neople’s "lothes,
for which they pay nothing. The expanse of
clothing them is not supposed to be great, how
ever. Their costume could hardly be called
elaborate. Their shoes are full of holes; they
wear no stockings; they wear nothing on their
heads, not even the hair that ought to grow
there; the only garment they do wear is a long,
coarse robe made of gray blanket-cloth, and
around their waists they carry a thick, heavy
cord, with which they flagellate themselves for
the purpose of improving their morals. The
soldiers do nothing but strut about and look as
fierce as they can. These idle classes the poor
laborers are taxed to support, besides defraying
the ordinary, rather extraordinary, expenses of a
government notorious for its extravagance. No
wonder that the laborers work seven days in the
week; they are obliged to do so or to beg. No
wonder that many do beg; they see nothing
ahead of them but a life of ceaseless, hopeless
drudgery, toiling for tbat which others will en
joy, reserving for themselves scarcely enough to
hold soul and body together. The wonder is,
that there are not more beggars in Italy; and
the fact tbat they are not more numerous is
proof that the old Boman fortitude has not been
crushed out by centuries of the most cruel des
potism and oppression.
OUR DUMB FRIENDS.
To Miss Louise W. King, daughter of Judge
King, of Augusta, is due the honor of founding
in Georgia the society for preventing cruelty to
animals, and not to Mrs. King, as inadvertently
stoted before.
Ants’ Domestic Animals.
The insects called aphides are the cows of the
ant. The small brown species called garden ant
ascends bushes in search of the aphides. The
ant then taps the aphis gently with her anten
nas, and the aphis emits a drop of sweet fluid,
which the ant drinks. The ant protects the
aphides from the attacks of other insects, and
often builds covered ways up to and over the
aphides. The small yellow meadow ant lives
principally on the honey-dew of certain aphides
which suck the roots of grass. The ants collect
the aphides in their nests, not only watching
over them, hut even over their eggs—an act
which one is much tempted to refer to fore
thought, and which in such a case implies a
degree of prudence superior to that of many
men. Besides these aphides, many other insects
live in ants’ nests. If they are to be regarded
as domestic animals, the ants have more domes
tic animals than we have. The majority of these
ant guests are beetles. Some of them are quite
blind (as for instance the curious little claviger),
the ant taking as much care of them as of their
own young.
That the ants’ treatment of their domestic an
imals furnishes a lesson not only to savages, but
to so-called civilized men, is quite apparent to
one who has notice^ the poorly-fed and shel
tered milch-cows of pm average Southern farm
ers. Then the caltiifr! miserable, scrawny crea
tures, too spiriting to bleat, standing all day
and night in bare/narrow pens, without a sign
of shelter from the rain or shade from the sun,
and with nothing to subsist upon but the few
mouthfuls of milk that they can suck from the
already-stripped udders of their mothers night
and morning. Such is the condition of the
greater number of calves belonging to farmers.
I have known many to die from exposure,
and others to become diseased and worthless.
Often they suffer for water, and pine in the
heated summer for green, succulent, cooling
food.
No wonder they are stunted in growth, and
have a heavy, drooping look; no wonder that our
home breed of cattle deteriorates instead of im
proving. *
A Lesson from tlie Rohin.
BY MBS. EMILY C. PEABSON.
A few more victories like the one which re
cently occurred at an election in Shenandoah,
Iowa, will cause the old topers to long for the
goed old times of bygone days. The issue was
license or anti-license, and there was great re
joicing when the former won. The newly elect
ed officers at their first meeting placed the li
cense at $13,000 each, and refused to come down
a dollar. The position of the license men now
is a good deal like the Irishman who had a
hearty laugh over the idea of taking a hull by
the horns and throwing him down, but a few
moments later, as he sat upon the ground where
the animal had tosed him over a fence, he utter
ed, “Be the powers, it was a moity foine thing
I had me laugh first.”

It was a bright spring morning, but Mrs.
Wells, the minister’s little wife, was under a
cloud. She had been wakeful through the
night with the sick baby. The little one still
moaned and cried, while the two other children,
both under four years, were running about in
their night-clothes and getting into mischief.
Baby to tend, children to dress, breakfast to
prepare and the house to put in order, and no
one beside herself to take a step ! Was ever any
body so hedged in by press of work? Mr. Wells
pitied his wife, and had spasms of helping her,
but was absorbed in sermons and parish work.
In the midst of such perplexity, a little inci
dent occurred that seemed especially sent to
cheer the tired mother. As she soothed her
baby by the open window, her eye wandered to
the trellis, where lived a family of robins. Mrs.
Eobin had cut a worm into four parts, and was
giving each birdling a portion, not at all flus
tered by their clamoring. The meal over, she
began putting her house in order. Moving the
birds one side of the nest, she made the vacant
space clean and orderly, then put the little
group back and adjusted the other side of her
habitation. This peep into another’s house
keeping cares, even those of a robin, seemed
to lift the young wife above her own petty
troubles.
“ How calmly the bird attends to her morning
duties while her voracious children cry * More,
more ?’ Why cannot I be as cheery at my work?
I will trust—God will carry me through.”
With new courage she laid baby in his cradle,
replenished the fire, and commenced dressing
Willie and Martin. But the baby would not lie;
his screams brought the mother to his side, the
children following, crying, “Pease dwess me!”
“ Tan’t I have my bweekfust?” Mr. Wells
would soon come in for breakfast, and there
seemed small chance that he would have it. Mrs.
Wells would not let the shadows settle over her
spirit again, but prayed for patience. She
thought of the robin, happy in her care and
toil, and called to mind God’s loving mercy to
herself and family. Surely he would help her
in this time of need.
Scarcely had this passed through her mind,
when there was a gentle knock at the door, and
Mary Lee, a bright girl of twelve, entered.
“ Couldn’t I help you this morning, Mrs.
Wells ? Mother says you must have your hands
full with the sick baby and house-work.”
It seemed like a direct answer to her prayer.
Mrs. Wells could scarcely find voice to thank
the child.
“ I believe you were sent to me,” she said bro
kenly, thanked God in her, heart, and took
courage.
Now how beautifully the domestic machinery
worked ! The coffee was soon sending out deli
cious odors, the table laid, the toast and eggs
prepared, the children dressed, and the little
wife met her husband with a radiant smile as he
came in to the morning meal.
“ Who’s there?”
There was no answer, and the
stopped.
“ Anybody there?”
No answer.
“ It must have been a spirit,” he said to him
self. “ I must be a medium. I will try.”
(Aloud.)
“ If there is a spirit in the room, it will signify
the same by saying aye—no, that’s not what I
mean. If there’s a spirit in the room, it will
please rap three times.”
Three very distinct raps were given in the di
rection of the bureau.
“ Is it the spirit of my sister?”
No answer.
“ Is it the spirit of my mother ?”
Three raps.
“ Are you happy ?”
Nine raps.
“ Do you want anything ?”
A succession of very loud raps.
“Will you give me any communication if I get
up ?”
No answer.
“ Shall I hear from you to-morrow ?”
Baps very loud in the direction of the door.
“ Shall I ever see you ?”
Then raps came from outside the door. He
waited long for an answer to his last question, but
none came. The spirit had gone; and after think
ing about the extraordinary visit he turned over
and fell asleep. On getting up in the morning he
found that the spirit of his mother had carried off
his watch and purse, his trowsers, and his great
coat down stairs in the hall.

Qcininb and arsenic form the basis of many of the
Ague remedies in the market, and are the last resort of
physicians and people who know no better medicine to
employ for this distressing complaint. The effects of
either of these drugs are destructive to the system, pro
ducing headache, intestinal disorders, vertigo, dizziness,
ringing of the ears, and depression of the constitutional
health. Ayer’s Ague Cure is a vegetable discovery, con
taining neither quinine, arsenic, nor any deleterious in
gredient, and is an infallible and rapid cure for every form
of Fever and Ague. Its effects are permanent and cer
tain, and no injury can result from its use. Besides being
a positive cure for Fever and Ague in all its forms, it is
also a superior remedy for Liver Complaints. It is an
excellent tonic and preventive, as well as a cure, of all
complaints peculiar to malarious, marshy and miasmatic
districts. It acts directly on the Liver and biliary appa

good fences. The entire place, save 800 acres, is well
fenced.
TWO SETTLEMENTS.
The public highway between Montezuma and Drayton
divides it into two settlements—the one containing 2,285
acres, and the other 1.872, with large and excellent dwel
lings on each for owners, numerous framed houses for
tenants, a good gin house and screw, and all outbuildings
necessary for farming purposes. There are now some 100
tenants occupying tnese houses, all of whom can be re

feet in breadth, and fringed on either side with jasemines,
roses and grand magnolias, with here and there luxuriant
Scuppernoug bowers, loaded at the proper season with
fruit, runs along the center. Along the lane or public
road, between the two settlements, are long lines of state
ly walnuts, from 12 to 18 inches in diameter, which cast a
dense shade.
The stablee for mules and horses are capacious framed
houses, with upper apartments for storing from 50,000 to
100,000 pounds of provender, and through the lot flows a

grown in profusion. Luscious grapes, figs, peaches, pears,
plums and apples of all kinds grow in great abundance in
the natural state, and with a little pains oranges, lemons,
bananas, and all the fruits of the tropics can easily be
raised. A large fish pond on the farm, or the river close
by, supplies any quantity of fish.
800 ACRES CANES FOR WINTERING STOCK.
On the lowlands are 800 acres of dense cane, from ]0 to
30 feet in height, which will winter every year 300 head of
cattle and 500 head of sheep- 75 acres of this cane land
