BY CABTAIX JlAl.hr A IT. It was the land of poetry and song—the lam peopled with tile memories ot the ung..ty past ille laud over which the shallow ol a oiigrcuuwn rented more glowingly than a present giuiy It was beautiful Italy ; the air, like a sweet oi.oui, was to the senses as solt thoughts are to the mind, or tender feelings to the heart, bleat ing serenity and peace. That sweet aivsxcj t balmily over ti.e worn brow of au invalid, giving to the pallid hue of, his countenance the lirst taint dawn ol returning health. The eye of the invalid was fixed on the dark characters of a book in cumbrous binding and massive clasp*, which the Roxburgh Club would now consider au invaluable black-letter; and so absorbed was he in its perusal, that he heard nor the approaching steps ot visiteis, until tiie sound of their greetings roused him from his medita tion. •The saiuts have you in their keeping !’ said his elder visiter,’ a man whose brow bote traces of age, though time had dealt leniently with him. •The dear Madonna bless you!’ ejaculated Ids otliei visiter, a young gill with tt c hashing eye the oval face, jud tlie classic contour of Italy. ’ Tiie invalid bowed his head to each ol laese solutions. •And now ,’ said the merchant, for such was the elder visiter,‘that your wound* are healing, and your strength returning, may we not enquire of your kin and country V A sligtii tlush passed over the palace face of the sick man; he was siient lor a moment, as n com muning with tituiseli, and then replied, T am oi England, and a soldier, aided ot Hie lowest rank.’ ‘Of England!’ hastily responded ihe mer chant, ‘of England! oi heroic England! lie crossed himseli devoutly, and started hack as it afraid of contamination. T may not deny my home and country,’ re plied the soldier, mildly. •But I shall inctir the church's censure for harboring thee !’exclaimed the merchant; *thnu I newest not what pains and | enables may be mine fordoing thee this service .' Then let me iortli,’ replied cue soldier; ‘you have, been to me toe good iSann i t m, and ! .would not requite you evil, let me co on my way, and may the blessings o heaven upon you in ihd hour of you own iieeo .' ‘Nay, nay, I said not so Tl.ou hast not yet strength for the travel, arm, her ides, England w as once the- brightest jewel m oui lady lather’s crown, and she might reconcile liersell again ; but I fear me sha will not, lot your master, Henry, is a violent, hot-blooded man. and lie hath torn a wav the kiticdom from apostolic care. Enow ye net that your land is under interdict, and that I, as a true son of holy mother church, ought not now to be changing words with thee ?’ ‘Even so,’ replied the sold er, ... theie are many that think the km. s gin e hardly ucai; by.’ •The shepherd knoweth best how to keep his fold,’ replied the merchant, hastily nut you ;;ie the king’s soldier: you take his pay, and cat kis bread, ami doubtless ought to hope the best tor him, and even so do I. 1 would that I•• might repent aud humble himself, aid thei onrholy father would again receive him into the fold ; but, now 1 bethink me, thou wert reading; what were thy .studies?’ 'I he brow of the soldier clouded— he hesita ted a moment; but then gathering up his resolu tion, replied. ‘ln the din of the battle this book was my breast-plate, in the hour ct sickness my best balm,’ and he laid the open volume belt,re the merchant. ‘Holy E'aint!’ exclaimed tl/e nen ■ rersing himself, and drawing back as lie l>< t.i.a the volume which his church had closed agii.nt tne laymen. ‘Thou then art among the heretics who bring down a curse upon the land ! Nay, thy sojourn here may bring down malt diction upon me and mine; upon my house ami home. But thou shait forth. I will not harbor thee. 1 will deliver thee over to the church,that she may chasten thee ! Away from him, my child ! away iroin him ! The soldier sat sad and solitary, and watching the dying light of the sun, as he passed maj. sti : callv on to shine in other lands. One ray rested ' on the thoughtful brow ot the lonely man as he ' sat bracing up his courage to meet the perilous ! future. As be thus mused, a soft voice broke \ upon his reverie. ‘You are thinking of your own far off home,’ said the Italian girl; ‘how l wish that all 1 loved had but one home—it is a grict to have so many homes ?’ ‘There is such a home,’ replied the soldier. ‘Ah!’ replied Emilia ; ‘but they say that here tics come not there! Promise mo that you will not be a heretic any longer.' The soldier smiled, and sighed. ‘Von guess why I am here to-night, resumed the Italian girl. ‘I know it by that smile and sigh. You think that 1 am come to tell you to seek your own land home, and, therefore, you smiled, arid you just breathe one little sigh because you leave this bright sun—and me.’ Am 1 then to leave yen, perhaps to be deliver ed over to the power of your itnplicable church V : Emilia ciossed herself. ‘No, no, go to your own land and be happy. Here is money ; my father could not deny me when 1 begged it oi l him with kisses and tears. Go aud be li3ppy, and forget us. ‘Never!’ exclaimed the soldier, earnestly— ‘never! andyon, my kind and gentle nurse, my good angel—you who have brought hope to my pillow, and beguiled the sail hours of sickness in a foreign land—words are but poor things to thank thee with.* ‘I shall sec vo* no more * said the yotrng Ital- Yol. I.— No. 47. ian, ‘aoo what shall make me happy when you are gone ? Who will tell me tales of flood and field ? I have been hapiy while you were here, uid yet we meet very saiiiy. My heart stood still ‘■vLeo we lirst found you covered with blood, on <ur way back to Milan after the battle. You iad crept under a hedge, as we thought, to die. But 1 took courage to lay my hand upon your heart, aud it still beat ; so we brought you home; and never lias a morning passed, but I have gath eied the sweetest flowers to freshen your sick pil low ; and while you were insensible in fuat ter rible fever, l used to steal into your eha’ ' er and kneel at your bed-foot and pray for lie Mad oina’scafe. And when you revived you miied at my flower, and, when you had voice to speak, you thanked me.’ Emilia’s voice was lost in sebs ; and what won der if one from man's sterner nature mir.g led with them ? The morrow came. The Italian pir! gathered a last flower, and gave it in tearful silence to the soldier. He kissed the fragrant gift, and then, with a momentary boldness, the lair hand that gave it,and departed. Ihe young girl watched his foot- e still they were lost to 1 st*nrd to them till they were lost to sound, and thin abandoned herself to weeping. ‘Thou art sad, deat daughter,* said a venerable father to hi» child, as they traversed that once country tied expanse through which we now jos tle our way from the City of Westminster, ‘Thou art t ad, dear daughter.’ ‘Nay, my father,' replied the maiden, T would not be so ; but it is haul always to wear a cheer ful countenance when —’ •The heart is sad, thou vvouldst say—’ •Nay. ! meant it not.’ T have scarcely seen thee stnile since we en '( red this England—l may not say this heietick Kn :!and.’ ‘Hush! dear father, hush! the winds may whi.-ptu it; sec you riot that we are surrounded | by a multitude.” •They are running madly to some revelry.” •Let us leave the path then,’ said the girl; ‘it •ui i.ot our fallen fortunes, or our dishonoured tank. v. ; run to mingle in this stream of folly. Fe: F-. j the king hath some new pageantry.” ‘V el!, and if it be so,' replied the father, •lisj-i'y the gewgaw and the show might bring back tin- truant smile on thy lip, and the lost lustre to thine eye. Thou art too young to be thus inoodly sad. Bee how anxious, how happy, seem this multitude! not one care-worn brew ! thou mayest catch their cheerfuliness. We will go witli the stream.’ The girl offered no further resistance. They , were strangers in the land ; poor, almost penni less. They had come from tiieir own country to reels In i a dent which one of the nobles ot the ci in; had incurred in more prosperous days, when the merchant was rich in silver arid gold, and ra ‘rcbai'dise. Ti e vast throng poured on, swelling until it In came a mighty tide; the bells pealed out, tha ciuinon bellowed, human voices augmented the din. The Thames was lined on either bank; iv<> building on its margin crowded, and its ■•nil..co, peopled. Every sort of aquatic vessel iove*“d its bosom, so that the flowing liver seem ed i .-ti er sonic broad road teeming with hie.— Galley after galley, glittering with gob! and the purple, came.on laden with the wealth, and the pride, aid the beauty of the land, ind presently* the act in at ion «•! “a thousand voices rent the skit s, Tin lung ticking! long live tic king.’ IJc re me- liti ty tie V 111. crn.c in all tl at re gal digrity, ci and : mg« evs. pin e'eur, in « hich he so int-ch delighted.

Up to this point, tbe merchant bore his pangs in silence; but when the English gaily had assumed ti e victory, then came the trial ot | alienee.

At each plunge groans issued Iron: his tortured break?, it was in vain that Emilia clung to lus arm, and. imglciid him, by every tear, to him sell. His religious zeal otercame and when, at last, tlic hgura ot the pope, ores sed in his pontifical robs, was b.urled into thw tide, and loud exclamation ot agony and horror burst trom his lips, ‘Ch monstrous impiety of *o accursed ar.d sacrilegiofls king !’ sounded lowdw above tiie din of the mob. It was enough; the unhappy merchant was immcdicatttiy consigned over to the secular alon. Oh, sad were those prison hours! Ihe gtrl told hi r beads-—the father prayed to all the saints—aud then came the vain consolation* by which each endeavoured to cheat the other.— * They thought ot their own sunny land, its balmy air, its living beauty and the thought ot home. November came with all its gloom—the month that should have bi en the grave ot the year, com ing as it does with shroud and cerecloth, toggy, dark, and deary; the lather's brow numbered more wrinkles, the once black hair was more nearly bleached, the features more attenuated. And the danshter—ah! youth is the transpa rent lamp of hope—but in her the light was dim. •)» In fear and trembling the unhappy foreigners wgited the day of doom. The merchant’s offence ohe Mttle likely to meet with mercy. Ilenry was jealous of his title of head of the church. He
