MARIETTA’S* 1DKAL.
TBAXSLATED FHOM THS GERMAN.
BY A. M. F.
Marietta Polli stood at the corner of
one of the side streets of Naples, past
which the Great Post Road from
Gaeta to Policrasta rad. She had
small, rough table near by, and
played her guitar, singing the
to her accompaniment. Her
property consisted of the already
tioned rough raid rudely painted
ble, a colored saucer that stood
it, and in which the passers-by,
and then, dropped a coin, and
guitar—for, by profession, she was
street-singer.
Every morning found Marietta at
her stand. She placed tho empty sau¬
cer upon the table, and taking the
guitar, sang from seven until eight
o’clock sacred songs, from S o'clock
until twelve, songs from the best
known operas. Then from noon until
evening, national love song3. Daring
the evening, she sang a miscellaneous
collection of character songs. AfS
soon as it grew dark, a small ’
with a red shade, was lighted and
placed upon the table near the saucer.
As the clock struck the hour of elev
c-n, Marietta blew out her light, drew
the strap of her guitar over her shoul¬
der, emptied the saucer of its contents
into ner pocket, and hanging tne lamp
on a bracket fastened in the wall
above her stand, raised the table to
the top of her head, and walked off.
Her nights were spent in tlie hall of a
house which was regularly closed at
twelve o’clock. In this hall, a shoe*
mender kept his working-bench, and
it was upon this bench that Marietta
made her lied. Marietta was cn3 of a
family. Her mother made her living
by selling pocket-handkerchiefs, opera
glasses, cigars, spectacles and any
other such things which her light
fingered hoys picked from the pockets
ot strangers and residents alike.
MadamePolli understood the busi¬
ness well, and knew how to keep the
hoys at work. But some days trade
was not good and then they had to go
hungry. Once a week they all met at
the ‘grand promenade’ ground. Then
Marietta gave each hoy an orange
chestnuts, and to the
some money. Soon she would
i them and disappear among the

but only in times of great needs were
calls made upon Marietta's bounty,
and then she gave sparingly, but yet
enough.
Marietta’s beauty was well known.
From her father, who by birth was a
Roman, slio inherited her wonderfully
fine figure, her clear, broad forehead,
and her beautiful eyes. From her
Sicilian mother, her handsome nose,
the small, firm mouth, and tho wealth
of black, curly hair, which blew about
her when sho threw hack her head in
the act of singing, and the melancholy
look which came into her eyes as she
sang, hut which changed into a smile
if by chance seme passer-by favored
her with a hit of money.
With men in general she had little
to say, yet, as she passed along in
her singing, her neighbor upon the
corner (who sat all day behind a bas¬
ket of dried pumpkin seeds, across
the top of which sho arranged a
board, upon which were displayed the
seeds) would stop a moment, now and
then, to talk. The profession of
street-singer had, eveu among her
class,.a certain social standing, and
she was thought to he a good girl,
and had the respect of all, many a
wealthy family helping her by gifts of
clothes. Even the old ‘Principal Do
randi/ as he passed her stand oach
morning, upon his way to the Palaz¬
zo, used to speak to her, and lie left
her at his death ten hundred lires..
Marietta demanded a great deal
respect, arid strangers who dared to
smile upon her received only cold
looks and scornful frowns. Even the
most flattering remarks upon her
bcauly were without avail. A suitor
from the ‘Hotel de Rome/ with his
gold-braided coat, was dismissed with
a great deal of contempt. This was
occasioned somewhat by Marietta’s
ideal. Her great wish, and tbat-which
possessed both heart and mind of the
Neapolitans of hor standing, was that
of being a proprietor of a one-horse
coach, which can be driven through
the entire citv, and which both rich
and poor alike might use. Marietta
not only dreamed of some one who
might own one, but Sunday
noons, when she did not sing, she,
dressed in her light-bluq holiday
dress, with the pale-yellow kerchief,
and red-gold hoeps iu her pink, shell
like ears, would pay one lire for a
drive from one end of the city to the
other and lack, Icing the entire
course.
So great was her happiness in this
ride that, as she rode along she gazed
out as proud as a aptccn, her eyes
sparkling, and she as joyous as if it
were her very own. Many were the
young men. who were pleased with
Marietta, and many were the offers
which she rejected on all sides,
none possessed the one thing
sary. Whether all coachmen
into the world married was a
Marietta often asked herself. She
displayed a great deal of tact
these carriage drivers, for no
had she taken her seat in the
riage, than she ascertained
they were married, and she was
great despair in not being able to
ono unmarried.
So time passed on, but no
came in Marietta’s way who
to make her his wife. Tlie
dreaded five-and-twenty years
nearer. At this age, Italian
begin to lose their bean iy, and
etta thought with horror that
could not hope to be, an
She knew that when another
came, she could no longer stand
the street corners vithont being
ed at. The profession belonged
youth and beauty alone, and she
no other way by which to earn
bread. What should she do? At
school she had Ip ever been, and
was not rapid enough with her
to prdenre an engagement in a

“Thoy wore employed at the rail
road stations.** * •
Now Marietta thought in her little
head that if all these, places were fill¬
ed by women, and as ito coachman
came for her, why should not she qfita*
herself^ a a coach woman? It Would
bo a perfectly respectable vocaitiojv
and no one could say her nay. .Tli^n
too, one would have the pleasure of
riding all the long day through, ami
all the while receive pay for doing it.
Then, os first coacWbman in
she would be very much more admired
than as a street-singer, ami in a short
timoshc could give up and livo upon
the intar&st otJ^te raoaay that she
had earned. This was the conclusion
to which Marietta came, after hours
spent in deep and earnest thought. It
was not anything strange to her, a
street-singer; so, when she had ar¬
ranged it clearly in her mind, she was
very happy. She took her bank-book
the wife of the shoe-maker, to
reckon her interest for her, and she
found (a fact which Marietta well re¬
membered) that she had nine hundred
and thirty lires, that she had saved
from the money gathered on the
street, and which was held in safe¬
keeping for her at the national bank.
Besides her elonr, strong voice.
Marietta had a genuino Italian
ability to make a bargain; so she
betook horsolf to a cousin of hers,
who was still young, and had
saved for herself some monoy.
She offered her the ctar.d with ta¬
ble and guitar, if sho would like to
buy. The cousin entered gladly
into the advantageous bargain, and
tho next mox’ning, thoso who pass¬
ed that corner of the Strada, San
Fordinnndo, found in tho place of
the stately beauty Marietta, a very
sallow young person, around
whoso nock was tho woll-vrorn
green ribbon, upon which hung
the old guitar, and who sung to it
as if she wore singing out her very
life, standing by the weather stains
ed table.
Marietta hastoned (o the widow
of a lately deceased oavriage'dri¬
ver. Sho was close, and hard to
drive a bargain with, but sho suc¬
ceeded in procuring from her a
rather lean horse, a carriage, pain
tcd bat ,-eeenlly a bright rod, a
now rug, and two brilliant luntcrnf
under tho driver’s seat. Happy
was sho in tho possession of these
costly things, lor which she had
been obliged to part with seven
hundred lires. After this bargain
sho went to Molito, a short distance
from Naples, whence 'an -omnibas
vvent regularly to Naples’, seating
herself by tho driver, who, for her
ride money, taught hor to drive.
Ho looked upon tho affair as fun
that brought in money, and he was
willing to aid her. So Marietta
rodo eiglit-and-twenty times the
four hoars’ routs, and after that ap¬
prenticeship, sho thought herself
well taught. . * . * ,
Ono day, she presented herself
at the placo whoro carnages arc
usually hired in Naples. It was
strange to her, and a triflo awk
ward, top, when sho placed tho
lacquered hat upon her curly hair,
and hold her whip in her hand,
Tho streets were strange, too, with
the many passers by, as Bhc stood
or eat, waiting for somo one to
