WHEN.
When the world is fading from my sight
And around me settles the gloom of night;
When life’s current is growing chill
And my heurt flutters faintly, feebly still.
Even then I wdTfohdly think On thee,
f Thou dearest of all dear ones to me.
My reward will come some sunny day
When you turn from lov’d ones all away ;
Wheo_ you whisper unheard by mortal ear—
“'l'# that woman’s heart, 1 was all too dear ”
Tbs heart that has ceased to throb and beat
With emotions thrilling, fond and sweet.
That heart was the battle ground of life,
Where good and ill waged deadly strife,
Vhose angels waited, of evil ami light.
To watch the victory of wroog ami right,
But above the cl.iuds of mental war
Thy loved face shone, my guiding star.
My greatest wrong was the life-long love
Which dwarfed devotion to God übove,
But the auo might cease on earth to shine,
Or the grape to hold its drops of wine,
Or the moon to light the soft, blue sea,
Ere I could abate my love for thee.
When 1 sleep with the kindred dust at last,
The dreams of love forever past—
When the world forgetß the harp unstrung,
The brain at rest, the silent tongue,
You will think with a pissing pang of pain,
She lov’d me best, who lov’d in vaiu.
Italian Belles.
An American traveling in Italy could
scarcely fail to become convinced that the
masculine Italian was created for an entirely
different purpose than that set forth in the
Westminister Catechism as the chief end of
other men. From Naples to Florence the
-ame purpose puts its real upon the lives
~nd animates the souls of every one of them,
tie his condition that of peasant or prince,
or condition that come-* between. And that
purpose seem 9 to he to pore upon every
street corner Bnd doorstep, in every shop
.ntraoec uod every church door, a statue b?
admiration for the other sex ; » whispering
►mlne, which no tolerable lo cking woman
can pass without hfarintj soriaA audible
tribute paid to her charms. Evidently Ital
ian women are not averse to this promiscu
ous and indiscriminate admiration or its
expression would naturally be let open ;
and, evidently, every adolescent IS vlar am)
liberally-paunched Milenas of Southern and
Central Italy goes through c*s life forever
unconscious that there are women in the
world to whom the admiration manif-sted
by dogging ibtir steps and whispering the
stereotyped words, “Bella,’’"Molto graziosa/'
or “tns jannty”and “tres belle,” to their
ears, is offensive.
It may be, however, that the Italian
women ore forever artlessly unconscious of
the iively admiration that follows their sex
everywhere in Italy ; and, receiving in early
girlhood their first lesson of social conduct
from French governesses, as nearly all
Roman girls do, carry French precepts with
ibein all through life. “Never look a man
io the face,” said one of these governesses to
her pupils, “it is immodest. And do not
look at one below the vest ; it is in bad
taste and foolishly bashful. Always fix
your atteminn on the third button of ids
shirt-bosom —y> n may then be sure your
eyes are at the level most proper for a
woman's eyes to be.” -
To such a pitch of perfection do theyrun
esn three of Rome, Floretice and Naples
carry this street business of woman admira
tion, that a wife upon ber husband's arm is
no more exempt from it tliau the pretty
seamstress carrying a dress home alone to
its owner. For these golden youth have a
manner of elevating the eyebrows and of
pashing up the lips to the shape of these
tamiliar epithets, so that though not a sound
of them is beard, the wayfariog woman,
though a fool, cannot fail to anJeratand the
intent. Oue day, in speculative and inquir
ing mood, we watched a natty young Roman,
behind a bom we walked lor nearly the whole
length of a Corso, and when, finally, we
mounted the steps of Ibe Capitol just behind
him, and heard him whisper “syropatica" in
the ear of a rather dry-iooking spinster,
whose astonishment thereat Dearly made her
drop the English guide-book in ber band,
we calculated that she was the eighty-ninth
or ninetieth woman of every age aod all na
tions to whom be bad whispered since we
first noticed him.
Silly American girls, just arrived iu Italy,
are very apt to be misled by this habit of
italiaos, and to come home from tbeir prom
erodes, or return to their own country, with
tremendous stories of the tidal-wave of ad
miration that followed them everywhere they
went. One American brde. not long ago,
ch"»e to view the matter very differently,
much to the amusement aod ridicule of the
other ladies —older to Rotnao ways—who

was tieither very young nor very beautiful,
came home one day and took to her bed.
from which she did not rise for two days
To ail inquiries concerning the cause, she
replied, wKh tears ami blushes, that a great,
nasty, horrid Raman hail spoken to her in
the street, and told her how lovely she was,
and that the shock to her sensibilities had
been so great that she hud not bean able to
to hold her bead op since.
“Bui you must rxpect these tribute* from
the gallantry of oqr people,
prisingly beautiful." auid a fat old Lothurio
to whom she told tier story the first tins* »he
descended to dejeuner. At this fulsome flat
tery tire bride’s sensibilities were evidently
much less shocked than tickled, even although
she had not the slightest proof thnt the man
who administered it was not the some ona
who had so disordered her nerves in the
street. But oue bright American girl met
these frequent occasions much better. Bho
wus really v ry pretty, and in seeing her the
brows and mouths of the Neapolitan youth
became quite convulsed in frantic efforts to
make known the approbation of their own
er’s As an American girl, and traveling
only with an invalid mother, she went o’ten
iDto the street alone. And, therefore, found
the masculine chorus that followed her every
where absolutely unbearable. Finally she
invented a novel method of rebuffing and
putting her admirers to the blush. She pro
vided herself with a pocket-ul of centesimi,
each one tlie value of a fifth of a cent, and
whenever a man spoke to her, pretended to
utterly mistake his words. She would gra
ciously extend her band toward the creature,
who would be in a seventh heaven of rapture
at such speidy response to his admiration.
She would then drop this filth of a cent in
his hand, saying in her pretty, broken Ital
ian, “ Hungry, are you, poor min ? Well,
take this and buy some bread J” For a
Neapolitan Adonis to believe himself mis
taken for a Neapolitan beggar is enough to
shatter the Adonis’ brain, and we may be
almost sure that not ooe of those exquisite
lady-killers spoke to an American girl Bgaio
for at least a dov.
Our American girls ore looked upon in
Europe as mysterious kind ot creaturrs, who
have a liberty of conduct that no Eurnpeun
girl everdreampt of having, and yet who re
sent with indignation liberties of conduct in
the other sex which no Frenchman or Ital
ian would ever dream transgressed his mas
culine prerogative.
The traveler who reaches Venice from the
South will soon discover the growing near
ness of colder climes and temperaments in
the absence of this promiscuously outspoken
admiration of women. Ladies wind in and
ont the narrow alleys which serve for streets,
or pfiss gondola loads of young gallants up
on the canals, and perhaps never hear a word
to remind them whether they have Helen’s
beauty or Hecuba's want of Jt. We often
watch lovely girls, as we sit at our ices in
the Piazza San Marco cafes, and see them
pasaed and repassed repeatedly by ma-caine
youth and age, which is content to pay only
the tribute of an admiring glunce as it puss
es. In Naples and Rome roost of the gal
lant youth part their hair in the middle, aod
go daily to the coiffenre'i to have it curled
in tight little rings on an iron. Then, dress
ed in light colored clothes, with a huge flure
at the bottom of their trousers, and a sparkle
of jc*elry in every available place, they sail
forth to slay, and to whisp-r that they are
slain to every woman they meet. In Tenice
the men part their ha;r upon ihe side, and
wear it straight. They wear usually gray
■nits, and go about their daily basinet seem
ingly as reasonable and respectable members
«f the human race, as if Venice were Cbica
go, und these Venetians members of the
Chicago Moral Science Association.
But of the beauty of the Venetiao women
—women whom Titian Giorgiooe, ami Paul
Vereoe-e painted is the likeness of glowing
voluptuous creat ares, whose hair had sto
leo the glory of the son, aod whose fle»h ri
valed the beauty of the peacb—how can one
describe them when they are never seen save
upon those brilliant canvasses. If there is a
gold n h-ired woman in Venice betide the
sunny haired American »t the United States
Consulate, wt have thus far failed to see ber.
If there is aoy peachy Arab in woman’s form
it is hidden from our eyes. II there are any
other Venetiao women than the long faced,
large-nosed, black haired type, with whole
medieval castles and gothic eatbeJrals of
false hair piled over tbeir brows, aod whole
inches of powder laid upon their faces, that
meet u® at every turn, then they are evident
ly too precious for mortal gase, and are hid
den away somewhere like new Danaes In the
paternal tower. Nowhere to tbe world, save,
perhaps, in Brighton, K igland, does such a
lavish U9e of powder prevail as in Italy. We
thought the Neapolitan ladies had reached
the lasi poaible limit of its use when ire saw
them going boldly about looking like ghastly
masks, through which looked burning eye*.
Ba it remained to come to Venice to see
the Neapolitans outdone, tor where the Ne
apolitan only whitens her face, the Venetian
covers herself with it from head to foot, so
that hair, eyehrows, face, dress, and gome
times even the flounce# of her skirt, are as
white as were the ma-queraders in “Miller’s
Prcity Daughter." it can scarcely he sup
posed thnt the type of Venetian beauty has
so radically changed since 400 years ago,
fjten the most glowing rays of the Renais
s*ite* gathered «pna Vmjfiljjyi canvasses, and
made TitiunV beauties, and the ampler splen
dor of Paul Veronese’s women to be the
marvel of subsequent ages. It is probably
true that scarcely n natural beauty ever was
painted by one of those masters, and thnt
every bit ol thnt gorgeous flesh and every
lock of that splendid hair was the painter’s
copy, of the product of hair-dyes and cosme
tics ; and that the Venetian women then
were in reality no more beautiful than they
are now. In tho matter of tight-lacing, ton,
the Ita'dan id«a seem* that which prevaded in
our country at the beginning of the present
century. One wonders how they breathe,
these little-wnisted women iron corset
bones show so plainly through their dresses
that iron itself can do no more in the way of
compression. One wonders they do not
break in two and go walking off like the
strange creature that a maniac American
painter used to paint at the Gigi studio in
Rome last winter. This poor fellow, who
| had been a clergyman, knew nothing what
ever of art, and the mania to paint had come
upon him only with the shattering of his in
tellect. As his manual skill was unequal to
ary’hing more complicated than the paint
ing of trousers and petticoats, he a'ways did
bis model only from the waist downwards,
and Item magnificently framed and sought
to sell his paintings of headless,
aud waistless *kirts and trousers, convinced
that the pstron who lor more failed to
understand the loftiest purposes of art. —

Nor a Bit Artomhukd —The fact that
a large rrmjoritv of the people in this country
are prepared for anything that may happen
at any hour of the day was strongly exem
plified at the ferry dock yesterday. Three
or four “old heads’’ got together, and cook
ed np a plan, and then went in a body to a
ragged, woebegone chap who stood leaning
over a spi'e, aud develop d it. Grading
him with smiles, they each took biin by the
hand, and Ihe spokesman said :
••It gives ns pleasure to be honored with
the errand of seeking yon,and informing you
that at oor State convention, held this

lot. It is our pleasure to ask your ac
ceptance of the honor; and, in so doing, you
insure a candidate for whom we can work
with earnestness and enthusiasm, and whose
election to the gubernatorisl chair no Sana
man for a moment can doubt.”
The man had not changed a muscle of his
face. He had preserved a calm and placid
rxprrssion to the end ; ami when the spokes
man s'epped back, the stranger tu r oed the
quid of tobacco in his mouth, spit off the
edge or the wharf, and replied :
"Well, being as yon want me to run. I’ll

A Bannkr With a Stranor Drvio«.
Upon the <i duration of war in 1812 the
town military companies reorganised by the
eloction of new < ffieers and a general brush
ing op of accouterments. Just before tbe
battle of PUtlsburg a town company in that
vicinity elected a stalwart, but rather illit
erate fellow, by thp name of Jonathan PiMs
bury, captain. He felt that the eyes of tbe
whole State of New Yoik were upon him
He sncooraged his company to be brave in
the coming battle. He assursd them that
he would “behead them as long as there was
a man of them left, and that bia own name
would go down to posterity.” Ihe banoer
of tbe company had erablnsoned upon it#
folds, in addition to the stats and stripes, tbe
emblematie eagle holding in its talons th<
legendary scroll, ‘ E Plaribur Uonm ” The
captain syed tbe eagle with admiration, but
was puzated as to tbe significance of the
motto. Seeking light upon the subject, he
was informed by a wag that it was tbs name
of the first captain of tbe company. A
bright thought dawned upon the uncoltnred
mind of Captain Pillsbory. He quietly took
tbe flag to a sign pointer aod bad tbe name
of the “first captuio” obliterated and his
own substituted, and that company rushed
bravely into th* fight bearing a banner with
j that strange device, “E Jonathan Pillsbury.’*
