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.

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.” < See here, conductor, why don’t you have a fire in this car?” “'Well, you see one of the direct ors is a clothing man, another is a doctor, another is a druggist, another has a tombstone factory; and you know in this world people must live and let live. So you see—” “All right; go ahead with your coffin.” Ox the first of May Cuba became a part of the International Postal Union.

The latest improved style of fire-proof safe is called the “Kate Claxton.” The recent Tichbome procession in London cost about $300,000. 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.
