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 HAMPTON”, CrA., FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1880. dwelt in the same hotel This bride, 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. — | Corresj ondence c>f The lnter'Ocean. 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 forenoon, you were i-boien our nominee for Governor on the first formal bal 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 do it, bot l ted you beforehand that I haven’t got a durned cent to spend on the canvass I You’ll have to run ms on my high qualifica tions entirely.” 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.’* ' N. f Times.

He was a clear beaded, brave-hearted man of business how ever, and be and his partner built th ir bus iness up to such proportions that they had to bay a fire-prpof sale. One combination word furnished them with tbe safe was “boot.” Oue of tbe partoers set the safe while the ether was at dioner.

He naturally thought that it was a trick to get him out eid kill h<ni but lie was conscien tious in hi" profession.
