The chief sunshine of the latter part of
Galileo's life wan his eldest daughter, the nun
Maria Celeste. The Church had indeed taken
from the world a rare pearl when she appro
priated to herself the astronomer's child.
Beneath that nun's vail was hidden a won
drous wealth of wit, and heart, and sterling
good senile. The nmiR, wrapped Tip in the
narrow egotism but too common in cloisters,
only guessed dimly at these treasures; her
father alone knew the full worth of them.
On him was lavished all the love whioh should
by right have been shared among husband
and children and familiar friends. It was
nseless for the abbess to tell Maria
Celeste the ought to give herself entirely to
heaven; her mind was very much upon
earth, for her thoughts wero always with
her father. She prayed for him when she
ought to Lave been praying for the Pope and
the cardinals. She kept for him the most
dainty of the sweetmeats she made, instead of
Belling tl em for the convent purse. She
stitched his shirts when she should have been
embroidering altar cloths. She copied for him
his manuscripts when she should have been
reading the lives of the saints. In conse
quence of the Franciscan vow of poverty, the
poor nuns at Arcetri often knew what it wai
to lack a good meal and to shiver for want of
fire. The constitution of Maria Celeste was
weakly, and could bear but ill such a life.
She constantly suffered in her head from what
would, we believe, in the medical light of the
iresent day. have been called neuralgia. Gali
eo was always providing her with little
comforts to make her life more bearable; and,
indeed, bis charity to the whole convent
quite realized the hopes conceived by the
abbess when she first admitted his daughter.
Ve like to fancy the kindly, liberal-handed
old astronomer in the convent parlor, with all
the sisters chattering round him and prefer
ring their simple requests.
When lie was hard upon seventy Galileo
published a volume of ''bialogues," in which
he maintained the truth of the new system of
astronomy and proved the fallacy of the old.
His friends bad warned him against this
dangerous btep. He, however, persisted,
and the moment the book was out the
Jesuits pounced upon it. They had long
been waning to be able to make out a strong
case Bgaiust him. He was, in their opinion,
just the sort of man to be feared and hunted
down.
The Tope at that time was Urban VIII.
nitherto Lo had beeu well disposed to Galileo.
The JeRnits, however, managed to poison the
Pontiff's liiind by telling him that the solemn
fool of the "Dialogues' was meant for his
Holiness himself. His vanity being thus
called up into arms. Urban was as violent as
the Jesuits against the astronomer. The cir
culation of the book was stopped, and Galileo
was cited to appear at Koine before the In
quisition n charge of heresy.
After that day he was never the Galileo of
former times. He was, however, cheered by
the noisy sympathy of his many pupils and
soothed by the softer tones pf woman. His
daughter wrote him words of Christian resig
nation. Caterina Nioolini, the wife of the
Florentine Ambassador at Home, took him
into her own house, and thought it no dis
grace to her noble blood to wait upon and
tend him. Maria Tedaldi, the most vivacious
dame in vivacious Florence, triumphantly
established the supremacy of the female
tongue over even Popes and cardinals by
declaring that Galileo had been always right,
and was now right, and would be right to the
end.
At length he was allowed to return to Flo
rence, but the orgus eyes of the Inquisition
watched him till he was in his grave. His
daughter's weak health had given way under
the anxiety she had buffered for him. The
sweet girl lived to kiss him once again, and
then went away to the angels of her convent
dreams. The lonely old man wept her bit
terly; but the law of perpetual motion, whioh
rules genius as well as planets, made him go
on working. He was still busy with his pen
and in nis observatory, lliree or four years
before his death he was quito blind; as great
an affliction for Galileo, the astronomer, as
I deafness was for Haydn, the musician. His
I last days were brightened by visits from the
l'rand ducal family, and by the devotion of
Viviani, his favorite pupil, who took his un
worthy son's place. At length, in 1012, the
Foul of the great astronomer ascended to its
in truth native stars. 1 he Argoxy.
LOVE GIFTS.
From time immemorial the most usual love
gifts have been rings, bracelets of hair,
flowers, birds, scented gloves, embroidered
handkerchiefs, and euch like articles. Auto
Ijcns has, in his "peddler's pack:"
"Jo!den quoits and stomachers
For my luils to give their dears.''
In ancient Greece pretty birds were gene
rally love gifts; caged birds were sold in the
market at Athens for that purpose. Among
the llomans rings were exchanged; and this
custom seems to have prevailed in all ages
and every country. Chaucer describes Cres
teide as ivinz Troilus a ring with a "posy,"
And receiving one from Liai in exchange, and
Shakespeare frequently alludes to fetich to
kens. The rings that "Portia" and "Neris9a"
present to their betrothed husbands play a
conspicuous part in the last act of The Mer
chant of Venice, and in The Tico Gentlemen
tij l trvhu "Julia says:.
4,Tlil ring I gave him when he parted from me,
To bind ii im lo remember my good will."
tiwinbmn, in his "Treatise on Sponsals,"
riven the following reason for the ring being
the chosen emblem of true love, "The form
ef the ling being circular, that is, being
round and round without end, importeth
thus xuueh. that their mutual love and hearty
affection should roundly flow from the one to
the other as in a circle, and that continuously
and forever.'' In the most remote ages the
riDg or circle was used as an emblem of
eternity; in 1 ypt ana urcece, p. usual lorui
of emblematic circle was the serpent with its
tail in its mouth, and this torui has been fre
ouentlv atloyted in rings and bracelets.
The oiihtom of breaking a gold or silver
coin between lovers is also very ancient, and
amy probably have beeu derived from the
old Athenian symbol. A piece of metal or
wood was cut into two parts, one-half being
retained by the native of Attica, the other
giventolhobtrangerwho.se acquaintance he
bad made. The bearer of the symbol,
whether one of the original parties or only a
friend, was entitled to all the rites of hospi
tality from the owner of the other half. Not
to acknowledge this duty we considered
scandalous and a crime. Coins were no doubt
subsequently used because of the facility of
recognizing the token by the device. A
"bowed"' or crooked piece of money was pre
ferred as a love token, being considered more
lucky. These broken ooins, pledges of love,
are frequently referred to in poem and story.
Ktrutt mentions small embroidered hand
kerchiefs among the love favors in vogue in
England in the olden time. They were about
three or four iuchea square, "wrought round
about," with a button or tassel at each corner,
and another in the centre. Borne were edged
vith narrow gold lace or twist, and then
folded so that the middle might be seen; they
were worn by accepted lovers in their hats or
at the breast. These were no fashionable in
Queen Elizabeth's days that they were sold
in the shops at from sixpence to sixteenpenoe
apiece.
Camden, in his ''Ancient and Modern Man
ners of the Irish," speaks of lovers present
ing their mistresses with bracelets of woven
hair; and among northern nations a knot was
a symbol of love and fidelity. The origin of
the expression "true-love knot'' is not from
true love, as might be supposed, but from the
Danish TrvU.fa fiihm do I plight my troth.
