Tbo oldest of the crowns of Knrope intho Iron Crownof Lombardy, now ro otored to its resting place of centuries in thoXuthedral ot Motua, tlia snnny little town wuicb, from tho Alpine slopes, looks down upon imperial Milan, whither many a time its treasure was born to be placed on the brows of a German kainor at bis second corona tion. His find wus at Acben, by the tomb of Charlemange, where he re ceived tho silver crown of Germany; bis second at Milun, his third at Jiotno, whore tho Pope conferred on him the golden crown of tho empire Hut tho iron crown was the mot Tcnorahlo oi nil. For 1,300 years the iron crown has held tho foremost place among the diadems of Knrope, for it was formed by the skillful hand of Roman gold smiths in the sixth oontury, and sent by l'opo ((jiT('ory tho Great to the Gothic Queen Theodolinda, when she hud fieed Lombardy from tho Arian heresy. Tholoi missiinple, as one might expect trom its unciont ditto. It is a Hut ring or diadem of gold, adorned with enamelled flowers and precious stones nut cut into facets, as in modern jowelry, but emeralds, sapphires, and rubies in tnoir rougn uncut, lorm as they came from tho mine. But insido this circle of gold and jewels is a thin band of iron, from which the crowu takes its name, and this iron, tradition asserts, is ono of tho nails of tbo true cros hammered out into a ring. Long and angry huvo been the battles fought by antiquarians on this point. Those who deny its authenticity, head ed by Murutori, certainly being weigh ty arguments to the support of their view ; but tho tradition has survived all their learned folies; gallant chain-' pious liftvo fought pen in bund in its delonso, and still in the languuge of the pcoplo tho crown ot Monza is call ed il tareo chiodo, "the holy nail." It graced tho inipciiul front of Charlo munge and a long succession of Gor man Emperors, ending with Charles V. Hut tho last sovereign who woro t was Nunoluon 1. In May 1805, ho asHcmbled at Milan the dignitaries of he empire, the representatives ol his royal and imperial allies, and a splen did circle of Marshals and Generals, and in their presonco ho placed it on his head, repeating the proud motto ol tho iron crown : "God has given il to me; woo to him who touches it!" In 1859 tho Auslriuns. retreating from Lombardy, took the iron crown with hem to Muntan, and subsequently to Vienna. There it remained until, by tbo treaty which ceded Venetia to Itnlw in 18(1(1. it wus restored to ils old homo in the sacristy of the cathe- Iral at Monza, and tboro it rents to- duy, amid tho othor treasures of Thco- linda her jeweled com I), her golilen hen and seven chickens (the s3nibol of Lombardy and and its seven prov ides,) and tho crown ot her huxiiund Aiiilulidi. Next in ago to tho iron crown, bul fur exceeding it In value and beauty or workmanship, nro tho crowns of tho old Gothic Kings of Spain, discovered Bcvcntoon years ago near Toledo. They were lound in some excavations which woro made in an ancient cemetery at Fucnto di Guerra zar, two leagues from that city. They aro eight In number, and their intrin sic valuo is estimated at 2,000 pounds sterling. The largest, splendid circle of gold ono foot in diameter, boars Iho - ir; t. ...I.- natno oi -nuig jtoceewnmiup, wuu reigned in tho middle of tho seventh century. This diadem is adorned with nno rubies, pearls, and saphires, and round il runs a row of little cross of cornelian and gold. Of the modern crowns ol continen tal Europe perhaps tho most remarka ble is the well-known triplo crown of of papal tiara, or perhaps wo should say iaras, for there aro four of them. The Ltura is seldom worn by lue l'opo ; it is earned beloro him in procession, but, except on rare occasions, ho wears a mitre, like an ordinary Bishop. Of tho existing tiaras, tho most beautiful is that which was given by Napoleon I. to Tins VII. In 1KU5. It is said to bo worth upwards of JLtl.OOO. Its threo circlets aro almost oncruBtcd with sap phires, emoralds, rubies, pearls, and diamonds; and the great omerald at its apex, said to bo tho most beautiful in the world, is ulono valued at lli.OOO francs. Chamber s Journal. THE TKVK CINDERELLA. Many of the best stories in our story, books are Iho reproduction of somo very ancient bit ol history or myth ; and tho finest of all English nursory talcs. "Cinderella, was once tho deligiit of the children of .Egypt in tho palmy days ol the 1'haroahs. Wo will tell you how It happened and wo think thai you will suy that tho old story is quito as clever as the now. and much mora nrohablo : for in tho true Cinderella history thcro aro no fairy god mothers, no mico and no pumpkins. A wiso old eaglo takes all tho management of tho slipper, and we can in fancy see hira carrying it over the silver sands and dark pyramids ol Kgypt, without greatly taxing our no- Del. Rodolpbo prolty name, to begin with was the fairest lady in all Egypt. She had a dainty foot, and wore jew eled slippers, anil all tho pcoplo gazed upon bcr with delight when sho walKcd as though sho were a goddess or a fuiry. Ulie went out tfl batho ono day among tho white lilies of tho Nile. While she and her maids were sporting in tho water, great shadow passed ovor them, and thoy saw an eaglo alight on tha bank whero thoir clothes had been lefl. Presently it arose with some thing in its talons.and wheeling through tho golden hazes, became a speck in the clear sky. When Rrxlolplis came np the bank, sho found that ono ot her jewelled slip pers had been carried away, and she said to hor maids, " l ho eaglo has laacn It." And tbo maids said "Then it will bring you good luck. , Tho oaglo is a bird of good omon." So Rodolpbo hobbled bomo with a light heart, one of her stipporless feet crushing the lotus blossoms. Her maids laughed at hor, but sho said "It is good lack, for an eagle has taken It." Far away nn tha Nile lay Memphis, with her bright-winged temples and palaces; a city seventeen miles in cir cuit, tho seat of tho 1'haroahs for near- ly s thousand years, at this tinit) tht capital ol ngypt. More wore the spion did temples of sis, Scrapis, and of tho snn. and tbo tlirono was now filled with a l'hsraoh who bad overthrown eleven othor Kvyptian kings, His name was Paamrootlciis. His son, th Pharaoh Nccho, slow Josiah king of Judah, B. C. CIO. (See 2 Kin us 23). Ho was lttine in a fool nortino of hit palace toward evening, i ho crim son sun was biasing low on tho hot santl or tha desert, bn mol winrti tripped with light feet along tho dimp ling waves of tho Nile, and fanned tho king as they passed, lie arose, walked intoan open court, when a great Bhadow passed above him. Ho looked up, and beheld with de light and awo an eaglo descending, and wheoling abovo his head, with some thing sparkling in bis talons. He looked upon tho bird as a messenger from tho sun. Ho lilted his arms for joy. Just thon tho eaglo began to ascend, drop ping tho glittering treasuro from bis talons into his bosom. it was Rodolphe's jowclled slipper. The noxt day l'sammeticus issued a proclamation which caused all Memphis to wonder. Whoovor would find tho mate to tho iowcllod slipper, which the eagle had brought to the palace, should be loaded with riches, and taken into the ocrvico of the king. Rodolpbo heard tho great news. Sho boliuvcd that tbo eagle was indeed a messenger of the gods to point out to her bur destiny, no sho camo to magnificent Memphis, to answer tho proclamation of tho king. With ono slipperlcss foot sho ascend ed the grand porticoes of tbo l'baraobs, and Btood before the king with down cast eyes, lilting hor dress Just aoove her dainty feet a perfect vision of beauty. Of courso l'sammeticus Im mediately fell in lovo with her, and married her, and mado herqticon of all Egypt. Thoro wus great oy in all tho daz zling temples of Memphis when the man iogo was consummated thoro was dancing and music, and strewing of nowoin. All r.gypt was happy. "HOME, SWEET HOME." THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH Mil. PAYNE WROTE TUB 80NO. The Brooklyn Eaqlc, in reviewing Howard's life of Puyne, says: Mr. l'tivne, on ono occasion in 1835, while at New Orleans, wbon queslionod on tho subject of the musio of "Home, Svroet Homo," told his personal friend, .Mr. Jamos Jtccd, ot 1'hiladulphia, that tho air was not wholly original with Mr. Bishop, and reluted tho following pleasant anocdote concerning il. He said: "First 1 heard the air in Ituly. Ono beautiful morning, as 1 was stroll- ng alone amid some delightful scenery, my attention was arrested oy mo sweet voice of a peasant girl, who was lurrying a basket lauen with flowers and vegetables. "1 his plaintive uir sho trilled out with so much sweetnoss and simplici ty, thut tho melody al once caught my fancy. I accosted her, and after a low moment's conversation, 1 asked her for tho namo of tho song, which sho could not givo mo, but having a slight knowledge of muBio myself, barely enough for tho purpose, 1 requested her to repeal tho uir, which she did while 1 dotted down tho notes as best 1 could, it was the air that suggest ed the words of 'Homo, Sweet Homo,' both of which I sent to Bishop at tbo timo 1 was preparing tho opera of 'Clari' for Mr. Kcmblo. Bishop hap pened to know tho air perfectly well, and adapted tho musio to words." This statomont is fully sustained in tho lcttora of Mr. 1'ayne to Mr. Bish op, which are introduced in the voiumo. There bavo been many ridiculous statements as to tho circumstances un der which Mr. l'ayno wroto tho words of his eclebratod song. "Somo," says his biographer, "havo stated ttiat ho was residing in London at tha time, without a shilling in his pocket; others havo stated that 'on a stormy night, beneath the dim flickering of a London street lamp, gaunt and hungry, and without a plueo to shelter bis poor, shivering body, ho wroto his inspired song upon a pieco of ragged paper picked up from the sidewalk.' " X h is was not so. l no iuiiors oi air. Payne abovo quobed, prove diroctly to tho contrary. Wo soo by his acknowl edgement to Bishop of tho receipt of 4.HII, that he was comfortably situated whon preparing "Clan lor tho stage. W admit that Mi. l'ayno novor, at any poriod ot his eventful life, accumu lated any considerable amount of wealth, but those who knew the state of bis circumstances know that ho novor was a street pauper. In a still later communication to Bishop is an other acknowledgement for 50 on tho sum ol Jt-50 which ho was to ro- ccive tor tho three dramas entitled "A It Pacha," "Tho Two Galley Slaves," and "Clari," all ot which were produc ed at tho Covent Garden Theatre, un der the management of Mr. Charles horn bio. Mr. l'ayno has never boon "let alono;" almost every thing he over did had been doubted, and it is somewhat surprising that his consulship at Tunis has not beon denied him ; bul what oi that? Fools havo boon iound who doubted that Shaketpearo wroto his own plays, and thut Poe was the au thor ot tho "Haven, and, Willi ail their mooting ol tho question, thoy never could find any one else who did porform Iho works. At ono time it was stated that Jiir. ray no did not writo tho words of "Home, Sweet, Homo." Tho assertion called forth in quiry. Washington Irving was ap plied to on tho subject, and bis reply was that ho had boon unablo to dis cover who clso did, and ho oonld seo no reason for doubting the authorship. TUB FANT11EOX. ITS FAULT1.I88 BEAUTY TUB CHANIIES WHICH UAVS 1IKEN MADE. Curtis Guild thus describes the Pan theon: The impression ot its faultless beauty came over mo as 1 stood in tho centre ol the perfect circle of this great temple to all the gods, a rotunda l-iz feet in diameter and If 'I feet high. Thoro aro no windows, but a porfootly circular aperture in tho top of 28 foot in diameter admits a light that lights tho whole, and through which tho blue Italian sky and fleecy clouds aro seen. Around on all sides aro now Christian altars, and tho great niches aro vacant that onco held marble figures ot nca thon deities, the magnificent bronzo platos that sheathed the most perfect dome in tho world are stripped away, nay, ovon some ol tho stono and mar ble work Is whitewashed or otherwise, disfigured, and yot yon cannot stand upon tb floor ot this magnificent old temple to the eods. built twenty-seven years before Christ, without involun tary expressions ot admiration at Us perfect beauty of proportion. What must it have been in its prime, with lis Biagnincent front, not as now sunken, as innrlom Home or as succos slv modern Homes have heaped thoir soil up ovor tiie obi cily till now you stop down Into tho Pantheon I high teen centuries ago its magnificent por tico, with its grand front of over ono hundred loot supported by sixteen Corinthian pillars thirty six foot high (which still remain), was abovo tha level ol th street, and was approached by a flight ot six marble steps and th .. - L. . . ,- vestibule, a beautiful vista of whito mar bio plasters ; tho pediment abovo was ornamontod with glorious has re liefs (you may seo the holes in which the bolts holding thorn woro placed, to this day), and tho roof was sheathed with bronzo, which l'opo Urban VIII. not only was vandal enough to strip and melt down for bronzo columns and cannon, but perpetuate tho act that thoro should bo no mistake as to who tho dispoilcr was, by recording it in a Latin inscription over ono of tho door ways. Thon he increased tho outrage! by adding two ugly bell towers to the dome ("asBoa' cars" thoy are very just ly called); and another l'opo, Benedict XIV. who was l'opo Irom 1740 to 1758, tore awoy boautiful marbles from the upper part of it to adorn buildings ho was erecting. - But doBpito all this tho grand and peridot beauty ot tb. acmplu could not bo destroyed, and we can imagine, standing here upon what was once the elegant pavement of porphyry and and marble, that the pagan altur rear ed its height boneath tho then perfect vault of bronze, tho smoke ot ascend ing sacrifice roso through tho greut opening direct to tho nostrils of the mythical Jove himself, and in these now empty niches, fifty feet abovo the pavement, stood looking down upon priest and peoplo the colosal sculptur ed figures of Jupiter, warlike Mars, and majestic Minerva, Appollo, with bent bow or with lyro in bund, and Vulcan pausing o'er his thunderbolts. The sides of the vast circle glittered with polished marbles and elegant carv ing ; tho altio or roof gleamed with sculptured silvor and bronze, and was upheld by caryatides of Syracusau bronzo; statues of Koine's Emperors and Sonalors peopled niches at tho en trance or in tbo porticos, and Marcus Agrippa's temple to tho gods was ono of tho glories of old Homo. Tho an cient bronzo doors remain, and tho Corinthian pillars of rod granite with marble capitals, roughened and black ened with tbo breath of eighteen cen turies, will continue to command at tention, extract admiration, mid re main tho student of the architecture of classical times; but all around tho interior in tho different recesses ho will find tho modorn altars of tbo Ro man Cutholic Church, with their florid and often tawdry ornaments, tinsel, and frippery, which ill accord with the ancient surroundings. Tho building is said to be a species of brick-work, and was coated and venocrod with marble, but tho exterior coaling was stripped oil' by tho spoilers of modorn times. So also was plundered the sculptured silver on the interior of tho roof by successive vandals. .V. NOV Eli RE ON DANCING. Female dancers were first introduc ed in Iho ballet at an entcrtainmont given at the court of Louis XIV, in 1(181, and at length tho art was brought to its greatest perfection by tho oclebratcd M. Novorre, who was connected with several of tbo royal courts of Europe as maitre de ballet during tho lattor part of tho last cen tury, nnd who not only produced nn immenso number of ballot pantomimes With the greatest succoss, but. has loft voluminous writings on tho subject. According to him, few occupations would seem to bo so important in this world as that of dancing. Ha makes it appear necessary for a ballet master who aspires to anything liko eininenco in bis prolossion to pos sess nearly every accomplishment and virtue possible to man. Ho mentions mythology, ancient poetry, and chro nology as forming tho primary studios of such a person, and suggests that he ought to possess a genius for poetry and painting. In addition to those, ho ought to have a slight knowlodgo of geometry, so that be may ba ablo to calculate tho proportions, Ac., of his figures. Ho should be nn expert mechanician, and capable of making small models of any machinery he may require Ho ought to bo acquainted with anatomy, to bo ablo to draw, and to be proficient in music. After all this, one is not surprised to find that M. Novorre rates the valuo of bis art von' highly. He says, in- (I, that a ballet should bo a "com- plcto pantomime, nnd through tho eyes speak, as it were, to tho vory soul of tho spectator." ' Explanatory Bpoeeuos will uoeoine useless a mute biitpoworfuloloqucnco will be substituted to much better ef fect each motion will bo a sentence every attitude will betray a situation each gesture will convey a thought each glance n now sentiment nnd every part will please, because tho whole will bo a truo and faithful imi tation of nature." Ami again; "Tho mere figurod dances, without meaning, without) the representation of any ono subject, un supported by a regular and sensible intnguo, being no part ol tho drama, but wondering, if 1 may so, how they came thcro, are, in my opinion, .as I havo declared beloro, no moro than iivortiBcmenls or rocroativo dances, whoroin nothing is observable but tho studied exhibition of tho mechanical difficulties of our nrt." It must not be supposed that No vorre was altogether an unpractical enthusiast. His success In carrying out his thooriog was so great that on one occasion ho was publicly crowned upon tho stage. In any case ho does not stand alono in bis cstimato ol dnncing; othor wntors on tbo snmo subject having expressed themselves in equally glowing terms. 'I'mtclfy't Maga:mc. Poison kd Spears.

Punctuation is peculiar to tho mod orn langnagos of Europe It was whol ly unxnown to tho Ureoks and lio muns ; and the lunguages of the East, although they have curtain marks or signs to indicuto tones, havo no regu lar system of punctuation. Tbo lio mans and tho Greeks also, it is truo, had certain points, which, liko those of tho lunguages of tho East, were confined to tho delivery nnd pronun ciation of words; but tbo pauses woro indicated by breaking up the nttcn matter into lines or para graphs, not by marks resembling those in the modern system of punctu ation, llenco, in tho responses of tho ancient oracles, which woro generally written down uy tho priests and deliv ered to tho inquirers, tho ambiguity, unties intentional, which wo want of punctuation involved, saved the credit of tho oraclo, whether tho ex pected event was favorable or unfa vorable. As an instance of this kind, muy bo cited that remarkable response, which was given on a well known oc casion, when tbo oraclo was consultod with regard to tho success of o certain military expedition : "Ibiss ot rodibis nunquam poribis in hello. Written, as it was, without being pointed, it might bo translated cither, "Thou shalt go, and shalt never return, thou shall perish in buttle;" or, "Thon shalt go und return, thou shalt nover perish in bottle. iho correct translation ol it altogether depends on tho placing of a comma alter tho word nunquam, or af ter rtdibis. Tho invention of the mod em system of punctuation has been attributed to the Alexandrian gram marian Aristophoncos, after whom it was improved by succeeding gram morions; hut it was so entirely lost in tho timo of Chiirlcmagno that ho found it necessary to hovo it restored by W urnelncd and Alcuin. It consist ed, as first, of only ono point, used in three ways, aud sometimes of a stroke, formed in several ways. But as no moro particular rules woro followed in the use of theso signs, punctuation was exceedingly uncertain until the end of tho fifteenth century, when the learn ed Venetian printers, tho Munutii, in creased tho number of tho signs, and established some fixed rules for their application. Theso wero so generally adopted, that wo consider tho Maniilii as tho inventors of Uio present method ot punctuation ; and ulthough modern grammarians hovo introduced somo im provements, nothing but a few partic ular rules have been added since their timo. Freeman's Journal. ORIGIN AND SECRECY OF IN- VENTIONS. A century ago whatu man discover ed in tho arts ho concealed. Workmen wero put upon oath never to reveal tho process used by theirt mployers. Doors wero kept closed, visitors rigorously excluded from admission, and false ope rations blinded workmen themselves. The mysteries of cvory crolt oro hedged in ly thick set lencos ol em pirical pretentions and judicial affir mation. The royal manufactories of porcelain, for example, woro carried on in Europo with a spirit of jealous ex- clusivoness. His Majesty of Saxony was especially circumspect. Not con tent with tho oath of secrecy imposed upon his people, ho would not abate kingly suspicion in fuvor of a brother monarch. Neither king nor king's do- egoto might enter tbo tabooed walls of Meissen. What is erroneously call ed tho Dresden porcelain that exqui- Bito pottery ol which tho world has never seen tho liko was manufactur ed for 200 years by a process so scvrel that neither the bribery of princes nor tho garrulity of tho operatives ever re vealed it.

In practice, however, tho process is of Iho most difllcult in tho arts. It was dis covered in Holland, and guarded from publicity with tho utmost vigilance for nearly a hall a country. England tried vain to discover the secret, until James Sherman, a Cornish miner, cross ed tho channel, insinuated himself mas ter of tho secret, ond brought it homo.

The Edouburg(Clorion county) Her ald tells the following story : For several rears past a notion poddler named Goodman, has mado periodical visits to this county, and during that time has staid over night soveral times at tho residence of John Loguo, a resi dent of Perry township. In fact his visits havo become so frcquont of Into that Mr. Logue looked on him aa on old friend. Ono night lost week tho samo individual camo camo round and took lodging as usual. Next morning ho reluted a singular dream which he hud had during tho night, to tho effect that ho had found a hidden treasure in a tree which stood on Mr. Logue's farm. Tho peddlor staid in the neigh borhood tor two or three days, and made his beadquartors at Mr, Logue's bouso. For throo successive nights ho claimed to have dreamed tho identi cal dream, and on tho morning of tho third prevailed on Mr. Loguo to ac company him to tho spot In a denso wood tho peddler pointed out a largo ouk tree as iho ono he saw in his vision. It was apparently sound ot tbo butt, but about twenty feet np a limb had been broken off. Mr. Lngtie did not feel like humoring whut bo supposed to bo a superstitious whim, but the old fellow socmed to havo so much confi dence in his vision that ho offered Mr. Loguo one-half of tho spoils if he would help him to cut down the truo. Ho dono so. When tho tree fell there was a rattlo of coins near where tho limb bad beon broken off, ond a small hol low was found there. !y a littlo chop ping a larger cavity was found, and ensconsed therein was "loads of silver." Doth seemed to bo wild with delight, and on counting up found tho pile amounted lo 85,000. Tho peddlor ex pressed his unwillingness to carry around so much silver in bis pocket, and Inquired whero ho would bo likely to get greenbacks for Lis share. Mr. Loguo, having considerable money in his house, immediately transferred to tho peddler s.ollil in paper money and took chargo of tho entire bulk of silver. Iho peddler wont oil and has not since beon heard from. On endeavoring to asB some of tho silver it wus found to lie counterfeit of tho poorest kind. Mr. Loguo is 2.i)00 out, und tho story ends.

Punctuality is proverbially not a feminine virttio, yet most necessary to thoso who seek for employment. As regards gaining it, tho wholo fortuno of a woman's lilo may turn on hor punctuality. come persons have a most mistaken notion of punctuality, ond fancy that it consists in never ueing mtur man tho timo appointed. With this looso idea they aro quito content. But to como beforo the timo fixed for on ap pointment is an equal wont ot punctu ality with coming too lato, and is often qaite as inconvenient to tho other por son or persons concerned, Be punctual both in keeping ongago- mcnls and in your fulfillment of work. Let tho one bo scrupulously finished on tho day promised, let the other be kopt to a minute. Let experience leach that your word may bo thoroughly relied on. Not a word can bo said iiiexcusofor thoso who aro lato in keening cngago- cnts, or who promiso what they con not perform in tho timo specified. Tbey are utterly Inexcusable. In them zeal and discretion are aliko wanting ; cither they hovo undertaken what they con not do, or thoy aro so wanting in energy, and so dilator', thut they will not exert thomBclvca io do it. In either cuso, much to blame ; in tho latter, deserving of whatever ill may bololl them. ' You will do well rather to overestimate tbun underesti mate tho timo yot. require for work. 1 bis is on error vou can eusiiy remedy. But err onco or twico on tho other aide, and you will find it hard over to establish a character lor punctuality And unpunctuality is a fault which, in sell -defense, an employer con not over look.

Iho most universal ond inlullible inyicotion that a porson is becom ing dyspeptic lis somo nncomforta- ble sensation enmingon uniformly after each meal, whether that bo in tbo stomach, throat, or anywhere cIbo. Tho lormation ol wind in the stomach, indicated by eructation, belching; Or othorwisc, demonstrates Hint dyspep sia is fixing itself in tho system, Then thoro is only ono course to pnrsno, and that is iutulliblo ; cat less and less at each meal, until no wind is generated and no uncomfortable sensation experi enced in any part of tho body. No modicino over cured continued dyspep sia ; eating plain lood regularly and living out of doors industriously will cure most cases. Tho doctrine that tho nccossity of la bor is a blessing, and not a curse, can not bo insisted upon too strongly. It is to this very necessity that mankind owes not only its first redemption trom tho savage state, hut every step ol its advanco in a civilization, from which, wo trust, a great deal moro may bocx- peoted still.
