BELLEFO)NTE, PA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10,' 1860:-
MARIA . LA FRANTESCA.
Towards the close of the seventeenth cen
tury there dwelt in Rome a young girl whose
history rendered be an object of universal
interest, ller surname never was known,
but she was commoulznalled Maria la Fran
tesca, or 'Maria the servint girl. SIM was
horn in one of the villages near Rome, and
at au early age was placed by
,her parents,
who were very poor, in the family of an
eminent sculptor. Before she came of ago,
she had conceived such art admiration of her
master's works, that she formed the bold
resolution .of devoting herself to the study
.of Art—.-pursuing it at first in sect et, but
cherishing a hope of one day attaining pub-
'a success. Maria ountided her intentions
to an artist who frequently, visited her num
' ter's studio, and begged of him td give her
a few lessons in modeling ; the artist not
only granted her request., but induced hill
friend, Dr. Corona, to aid him in the in
struction of the enthusiastic girl.
The first step gained, Maria devoted every
moment she could snatch front her ihouse
hohl duties to modelling and drawing—she
was never idle. To cxecitte something
Worthy of her master's praise was tire high
est object of her ambition. Life had now

any time wavered, or she felt, overcome by
the difficulties of her task, Marie used to
go secretly to the Vatican, and there, sur
rounded by the great works of ancient art,
her entbusiasnt was speedily rekindled and
her courage revived. She would pass boqrs
together looking at her favorite statues, and
gazing upon them until she felt her mind
thoroughly imbued with their beauty. These
were her lessons. She was determined not
to fail ; as it aware tharin this resolution
she pesseved tile surest guarantee of sue
ce,s, she labored unremittingly, and over
came obstacles which would'have daunted
a less bupeful spirit. ti
The pursuit of sett;lptitre a 5 l an art has:rare
ly been attempted h. lr awo an, and difficul-
es met Maria, at every step; still she
alloweu nothing to turn f lier' from her pur
-1 pose. She listened eagerly to every word of
advice and instruction which she chan c ed
to hear her roaster giving to his pupils, and
tre.asured all up in her memory ; and after
wards in her, quiet hours, when she , had
time to reflect, or to pursue her studlea, she
turned his instruction to good account.
By this stency pursuit of her object, by
her perseverance, and a careful economy or
time, Maria made a progress that astonished
thef friends ,who were in her secret. At
length eke went to work upon a shtue, bn
which she bad bestowed long and anxious
though, and which she hoped to ten
der worthy of public exhibition. • She
told no one of Ler project; and it
was only in hours stolen from Ler
daily, duties, or more, frequently from
her night's rest, that site could prose
cute her work. Two years, did the ener
getic girl tailor on in secret, unaided even
by tlitvoiee of encouragement, but supper
ied own enthusiasm. At length the
statue stood before her, a finished work!
ft was a statue of Minerva; and although by
no Means faultlesit in execution, its deficien
cies in finish and proportion were compen
sated by a grandeur in the attitude and
general expression, and a beauty in the
features which seemed almost inspired.—
The statue was completed ; the last finish
ing touches were given4to it ; and Maria
had it secretly convoyed to tho hallin which
the exhibition was to take place. The
judges appointeXtdaward the prize to the
successful candidates were assembled;
crowds flocked front all parts of Rome to
the Capitol, and every scat was occupied..
All were eagerly discussing the merits of
the various works of art exhibited.
It so happened that'.Nlaria's master was

ly fell to hint to erown with a wreath of
laurel the prize work of art selected by the
judges. Maria, in her simple servant's
dress, unnoticed and unsuspected, had fol

the gallery. With a beating heart she eat
watching intently the progress of the cere

GOOD AS WHEAT
In the State'of Illinois there is.a certain
village boaSteng of a tavern, three stores,
four groceries, where from morning till
flight, and from night tilt dawn, a person
entering the town rdity find in the tavern,
attires, and groceries aforesaid one or more
groups of persons playing cards—gambling
here is reduced to a science—the history of
the four kings is thoroughly studied, and
from the sebohl - boy Co thilFay headed vet

ther of a large family, they are initiated in
to the mysteries of high, low, jack, game,
right and left bowers, the honors and the
odd tricks, One of the best players in the
village was Major Smith, the tavern keeper;

hotel—a widc . iw'er

Fanny, the datlghter, was one of the
prettiest girls in the village. The sweet
heart of Fanny was a young farmer, resid

signate by the name of Bob.
It hoppened that one day before harvest,
the young mah was detained in the village:
and night found him as tn'tual at the hotel,
seated between the ;11ajor and his daughter.
After a desultory conversation' between the
two gentlemen on the state of theoreaTher,
the prospects of the approaching harvest,
and important staples of conversation, the
Msjor asked Bob how his. wheat crop Pro
mised to yield. In reply he was told that
the young farmer expected to have at least
Live hundred bushels. The Major appears.
to study for a moment, then abruptly pro
posed a game of "old sledge," or seven-up,
the stake to bo his daughter Fanny against
the crop l of wheat. This, of course,. the
young mate indignantly refused, because he
could not bear the idea that the hand of leer
pe loved should ber made the subject of a
bet; or that he should win a wife by gam
bling for her ; and perhaps because he knew
the old man was bird to beat, and there was
a strong krobabtllty of losing both wheat
and wife."
It was not until the Major, with his usual
obstinacy, had sworn that unless won
her he should 'laver have her, that the yourig
man was forced reluctantly to consent to
play.
The table was placed; candles lit, the cards
produced, and the players took their seats,
with Fanny between them, to Watch the
progress of the game. the cards were
regularly shaded and cut, awl it fell to the
Major's lot to deal. The first hand mai.
played, and Bob tpade gift to his opponent's
