If that indeed were fact which seems
A 'pleasant - universal fiction
-That daily born of youthful dreains,

That every mortal haB a,mate
And eminterparn3 go blindly groping,
To find, perchanee, thrOugh tom . of fate,
The end of all their weary hoping-L-
. .
I'd say: Wliate's•rr I have done
To manhood's earnest work befitting,
Be consecrate to her alone • , e"‘
Who waits for me; though all unwitting;
•
. .
Who Inds signs'of away',
Lest grief too soon het cheekstiOnld
rows
Who beats temptation
That I may, see some glad to-morrow;
Who dare not pluck a flower that grows
PeSmind:thopath (rod spreads before her,
Nor ever think of passing those
That b]ooni beside it to adore her ;
NITho strives to add a cubit yet
By faith unto her moral stature
Dear soul '.—lest I should feel regret
At finding lm4 than urine her nature;
Whosie handstraili many a trailing . yine
That mine had rudely left to perish, •
And all its tendrils deftly twine
In folds that failing years shall cherish;
Whose steps will mark life's tune alway,
Though mine have stumbled, failed and
• blundered. -

However far. our feet are sundered.

—Mt% Henry Wzitkiiis and Miii. Roae Watk'xis, two
now iivpirants for public favor, appeared at the Walnut
Street Theatre in au original drama entitled Tredden
demo; ar Under Tli"rl Poe . The play is a good one of
its kind. Some fault might, perhaps, be found with the
kind; hut it is quite impossible to deny that the class of
,lranias to which it belongs is very popular with larige
ninahers of theatre goers. The foundation is primitive
Fenianism, as it existed in V. 3. The party who Is**trod

ENGLISH OPERA.
.—Krentzer's Grand Oriera. A Night in Grenada, was
presented Tor the flittlitite In'Englbffi in this 'city - , at the -
Academy of Music, last evening, by the Etchings Opera
Company. The performance was satisfactory. Miss
Edith Abell appeared as "Gabrielle," and sang the sOLUe
w hat difficult music in a creditable manner. It is pleasing
to be able to compliment this young lady upon her rapid
improvement as a lyric artist. her voice has gained in
-trength and flexibility sinCl• her last engagement in this
city, and she begins to display considerable histrionic
poker. The personation last night was one of the best
given by her during the present season. Mr. Campbell
appeared as "The hunter.'' and sang splendidly. Mr.
Bernard sustained the part of "Gomez" cleverly, while
Mr. 11. Peakes, Mr. Arnold and Mr. Seguin appeared re
spectively as "Ambrosio," "Pedro" and "Vasco." This
evening It Trorature will be given. on Wednesday, Mr.
Zimmerman, the popular business manager of the com
pany, will have a benefit in Faust. Mr. Zimmerman Is a
very wortity gentleman who deserves the compliment
and profit of a full house, and as the performance promi
ses to be worthy of the splendid music of the opera, we
hope he may not be disappointed.
—At the Theatre, Comique this - evening. Miss Susan
Iton will appear in the comic opera Punchinello. The
company at this theatre has been improved by the addi
tion of several excellent artists. On Friday night Mr.
Thos. Whiffin will have it benefit, when the operattas
47ting-Chene7Hi and jranette's Melding will be per
formed.'
—At Concert Ilall this evening. Dr. James McClintock
will deliver the second of his courst, of Physiological
lectures. etc.
—At the Arch, last evening, Rosedale was played in
splendid style to a crowded house. The compliment to
idr. Burton Hill must have been as gratifying to him as
the comfortable balance in the box office. Rosedale will
be repeated this evening.
—Ou Thursday night Mr. L. L. James; of the Arch
Street Theatre company, will have a benefit, when Rob
ertson's charming play of Caste Will be produced in splen
did style. Mr. James is a good actor, and ho ought to,

Ili:mu, Piazza di Stiagna, April 27, .1869.-
"Now, like Hippolyte Flandrin, we shall have
!time to talk, face to face, with Raphael and
'Phielia.s," I said, last boor daymorning.
Society goea away, but Rome runs on;
the fountains pour, out. their gparkling floods;
;the galleries and librariee Stand With open,
i r hospitable doors;,.: the . grand old Ruins and
autiful Camprigna, grow g*pener
In Open tile,••
NOY niakbaliciures unaware,
The true fashion;",
and time is more
,closely occupied even than'
in the winter, when gay,. Prosperous Ameri
,, cans make our nights pass merrily 'with their
ravishing dinner parties and 'brilliant re-e
ceptions.
On Monday I Ntentlorthe Capitol, mounted
up to the tower, with map in hand, and/in:cone
hour- kneW
,More of Remo and its surround..
tags, both far and near, than I coubl have
learned from mouths of walking and driving.
The panorama is very fine. The eye ranges
from Monte Cavo, the highest point .at the
southeast, along ' the Alban billa,acteils 'the
Plains of Hannibal, over' tint' Sabine 'inoun
tains,to the extreme northeast, where classical
So - racte stands, between'the 'Sabine and old
Etruscan lands. Then comes the volcanic
group arettudLake.-Bracciano, and-a weioded
peak of 'the Appeninete; with the valley.of the
Tiber. .
After this is :taken in, the varions peintn.of
the City and its. Seven Hills attract, attention;
and one of the most striking, to my eyes; is the
grand Pauline Fountain, on the ,Janiculum.
The rich flow of the' water that comes from
Lake Bracciano through the AcquapaolO can
be seen plainly from the Capitol tower; pour
ing down through the niches made by the six
red granite limic columns 'of the faoade—a
congregation -of mountain minstrels forever
issuing forth from that temple front, who gel
to Rome a. 5 Plautus did,.andfinit. :gladden_
the eyes with their fresh dancingbeauty, theit
turn diligently to the city flour mills to earn
the daily bread, _ _ .
After this survey of the City of tlic„,.C.tS*
and the City of the Popes, I took a-passing
glance at the statues before .I left the.Capited.
1. cannot talk long with Raphaeland Phidiaa;
ray food of that kind must be taken in small
mouthfuls; so no hope of a catologtie, in this_
hashing-notice, of the - Capitoliiie'MttsetiM'Ai'.
I passed through the Court, I looked afew •
moments -on 'the fragments 'of statues lying
about—of the ColossUS who. has left his feet,.
his fingers, and his head - there—at - '
marblii• Kings that seem as"-..if they had
iVitnelered away fromNathek's T - T!ill of Eblis;
went on up the stairs to the dying Gladiator,
the l'raxiteles Faun, and•a feW other untiring
tavorite.s—the Venus of the Capitol,' the
greatest one of all; then said 1, hatihad enough,
and as a "dolce" to the substantial, I finished
the day by taking a ramble through the Palace
of the Catsars—Orti Farnesiani. I loitered.
through the walks, plucked flowers, mounted
up to the northeast extremity of the garden;'
where I found a party listening to a gentleman
friend of mine—who was telling the names
and histories of every point, distant and close
at handklfellinto the audience for a little while, _
then dropped out and took up my my idling, and
my companion and I said how nice it would
be to spend a day at these gardens with a -din•
net hamper, and the power to pick up and
throw down at will this torturing, fascinating
web of memory and imagination, history and
ruins, speculations and theories,without mind
ing anyone's dictum, 'and with all the broad
margin accorded to illogical, unreasoning
women. To tell the truth, I was unfit for any
steady work or thinking. The Pope's fetes had
been so exhausting in every way,that I was in
bad humor not only with the dying-out rockets
of society,but with books and galleries. One of
our party vas -worn down with hard work in
the studio; three months' labor from "seven to
seven" made him "babble of green fields" and
:,..tudies from nature for foregrounds; and the
third on e,w h o thinks for all,and makes all things
comfortable for brain-workers—our sine qua
nun—proposed a three days' idling; not to stay
away froth home, but; to go every day to some
new point, and return at night to our own
comfortable rooms and home rest. So
Tuesday morning, bright and early, the
carriage was stocked with everything
that could bee needed for our comfort,
even to the "Sine Qqa Non's" pretty little Mal
tese dog, which is a; white as a snow-flake.
drove• down through the crowded streets
that run at the bases of the Pincian,
and .Quirinal, past the Coliseum, to the north
east boundary of the Cteliati, and out of St.
Johtiof Lateran gate. Our first stopping place
was the Osteria del Pigno, where we took
breakfast; then decided on Frascati, and had a
delicious drive over the Campagna to that,
town on the Tusculum hills. • •
How often the Camptigna has been de-:
scribed, praised, abused and painted! And y( t
so inexhaustible are its attractions that it
seems ever new. Its green undulations; tho
hietaresque sliepherds; - the herds - of - goats - and
attle with long horns, standing on the brows
of the little eminences, sharp and clear as if
chiseled; the old farm houses with their 111d-'
die Age, towers, the tombs turned into shep
herdis huts; the
“Tiber winding dim ..
And the lung stretch of ancient aqueducts - •..
Striding like caravans;” - .
the green hills and slopes; the superb frame-.
work of mountains,-and the vaporous,.indis
duct band of the seaanake it for me one of the
most ravishing spots in the world.
At Frascati we dined in a queer little os-,
teria, outside the gates of the town. Our set
vant 'opened :the carriage -hamper anti dis
played sundry good things intheshapi3 of cold,
chicken, canned oysters, sandwiches and fresh
tarts,
.and cakes from Nazzari; . the osteria
man gave us 'a preface in the shape of "delicious"
macaroni, and we had a'nferry:tneat .
After dinner we visited:the 4otva,..Cardinal, '
Pentini's old palace and
,quaint o gardens; anti,
tho 'Cathedral,,, Where 'ee talked Over the
mural monument that a. predecasSor.,of.
nal Pentini in 'the diocese - , had erected to
' its
brother ! , 'This predeces.sor,
and
,no leas a per: , ,
son than Cardinal kotk, and .the brother' wad,
OUR. WHOLE COUNTRY.
Charles Edward Stuart, the Young Pretender
Then we went back to the carriage and re
. . . .
:turned 'Rome, proinising ourselves Tuscu.
4 ` lain and the •
is on another day.
The next rnorning„ at 5 o'clock, our man
went,to the Portico of Octavio, and bought a
fine fresh sh&l, which we took out . to Tavo
lotto on the tjampagna, tAa be broiled :for' our
breakfast. Any artist who
..lived in Rome
some years back will remember Tavolotio,and
Guisenpe, the model, who used •to keep it..
' Guiseppe Is gone, but the osteria is still'there;
It is a solitary place, clean, but bare. There
are nice eating rooms up in a second floor,with.
windows looking all over the Catnpagnti;' and
! thatched shed, with tables, its back' turned
to the roa&ide, and the view of the grand old.
aqueducts in front.. l This shed ..chose for
our' breakfakit-room. While our man, Vincenzo,
broiled the shad; we clambered • dciw - n and up
the.invine back of the esteria, - and ; , Walked ;
over to the detached groups, of the, 'Claudian
Aqueducts, whith stand on the hill in. solemn,
mysterious beauty, draped with clambering
vines: We stood under thelk 'broad shadOWs;
looked at the huge stonei,arid . :l''ooileect with
some little surprise the great 'size. of - these
aqueducts; which never shows until Youstand
under them and see, their majesty and
grandeur. The Vast archways made gigantic
frames for a sky and a distance that only. God
can create. Buttercups—a wilderness of
flowers bloomed around our feet, and allthose
small woodland blossoms
. I-was -aronsed from my poetic bewilderment
itaea summons to breakfast and shad, and was
I
. ther rudely jostled into the present by the
a kof two fierce shepherd dogs; one Cer
hems stood in the bottom of the ravine, the
other on its summit; of course,femitheshrieks
and hoarse shepherd's calls filled the air with
diScord.ant sounds, while "Sine Qua Non"
stood, on the safe side of the ravine, hugging
her Maltese mite, and nearly losing all

or viadUct, built by the 'present Pope. ' Its
gigantic stone arcades stride boldly over the

remarkable works of medern times, and the
,yjew, from the approach to it is very fine. The
bottom of__ the
.gorge lieal.. two hundred
feet below, and throtigh it'paeses the eld road
to Naples. Around us spreadthe ricl undu
lating Campagna; its 'tender spring !green
was made ahnost 'liquid . by -the trans
parencY'' and ' the brilliancy
of • the antes -raYs..., It • seems bripossibleto„be
lieve that this lovely stretch' of land can be
filled with muraria, it is so . luxuriant and full
of r life.' Here and there could be - - seen
the grave; dark outline of aqueducts,
looking, in the distance, like a long
train of cars on a railway; tombs, farm
house towers, groves of trees, fields of _young
grain, whose various shades of green melted
into each other, and long stretches of verdure
reached out to the vapory mountains and the
dazzling, houndary of, the
_sea. The bright
cupola of the Sky-hung 'over all, and- the- lark
soared up into its warm heights and poured
-out-a-song of rapture.
At Gensano we dined; then walked to Lake
Nemi, "Diana's Mirror," as the ancients called
it. There it lay—the beautiful little crystalsur
face-Lin its crater basin, es pretty and tranquil
as a lady's dressing-glass that reflects nothing
but laces and satins, jewels and sweet young
faces. We looked in at a Capuchin church;
walked up a straight, steep road - bordered by
a thick laurel hedge, in which were cut win
dow-like openings looking out on the Cam
pagna, to a hill called. Monte Falco, where we,
found a still more beautiful version of the
Campagna—mountains and sea, villages, grain"
fields and aqueducts; the rich warm air and:
the lark song. Then we returned to Gensano
and the carriage, and drove back to Rome.,
The sun set and the night came on before we
reached the city walls; but the moon, -being
' near its full, gave us another beauty: As we
drew near the city, the fine faaade of St. John
of Lateran looked grander even than it does in
the daylight.
The position is the finest in - Rome. It is al
waya a little solitary, and at the night hour we
. approached it, the solemn stillness of the roads
and piazza added to its grandeur. The assent-
blage of statues standing on the roof stood
sharply cut against the clear moon-lighted
sky. The high columns of the facade, the
deep shadows in the niches and balconies of
the atrium, and the solid mass of buildings be- ,
hind this .noble front—the Church, the • old
Basilica Museum and Baptistery—gave it an
imposing appearance that was both majestic
and trnunphal.
The next day we went to Tivoli. Our 11
o'clock breakfast was at Hadrian's Villa, up in
the Nymphamm; than was despatched to
Tivoli on horseback to order trout for dinner;'
and after our Morning meal, - We walked lei
surely over the wonderful ruins, talked of
ifnaninary poems and marvellous romances
such as can never be written and lived—two
hours of exquisite existence. After that our
carriage carried us up a, beautifui ascending
road, through olive groves, to Tivoli.
' While dinner was preparing we explored
theyaliii. I saw grottoes of Neptune anti the
Sirems; cascatelles.and.tunnels, with bewilder-.
ing currents rushing madly throtigh : their";
galleries under . theFalls,slippery;zig-zag roads,
and rocky stairs; ceilings and archee cut by'
the unseen chisels of. the Naiads into curious
forms that suggested every architectural de
sign, and under them dashed hither and'.

seemed too busy with some vast work to knowi
or care what linmanity did,with them. — With!,

At the Villa &Este we found a sixteenth
century chateau, with numerous terraces and
fantastical waterfalls; these latter were all
playing in full glory in honor of sotne princely
visitors, the Totionlas, who passed out as we
entered. There were alSo.clipped hedges and
formal vistas, but superb ilexes,cypresses and
fragrant bays, and a view over the Campagna
from one'of the upper terraces that was' rav
ishing. After seeingall these beauties we trotted
down toNte Sibyl's Temple,where we enjoyed
trout and a delicious dinner; then &Rowed the

So ended our three days' idling; "Sine Qua
Non's" aim is •reached; the brain-workera are
in better condition; books and galleries have
reetuned their power, and the studies from
nature for foregrounds have been • accom
plished and are now beirm used with fine
effect. In the next letter Z Will give you some
Roman news. Mozier, whose "Prodigal Son 7
I described in my last letter, has finished, the
model of hiS "Allegro," the companion to his
beautiful "Penseroso." It is a charming con
ception of Milton's
"Goddess, fair and free,
In Heaven yelep'd Eupbrosyne.".
A beautiful girl, standing with poised feet,
one hand on the hip, the other 'on the cheek,
holdinga rieh,full garland of every flower that
stands as emblem of mirth and jollity. This
garland will tell well in marble, for it is care
fully and beautifully modelled. The face of
"Euphrosyne" is "buxom,blithe and debonair,"
and will make a fine contrast to the "rapt soul
held in• holy passion, and looks eorpmercing
with the skies," of the"Penseroso" by the same
sculptor.

SUMNER'S SPEECH.
The Excitement in England---It Still In
creases---yery Deep Feeling Expressed.
The London correspondent of the New York
Tribune - says:
The irritation
;'4-
caused by Mr. Sumner's speech
go es' on - incretiSin instead' Of 'diiiiirdSlinik4
I hoped it might after a little reflection. Lhave
_aiready_described it ns extending:through-all
Classes, turiiing old friendship into ill-will, and
uniting those who were for us and those who
were against us, in one common .purpose of
resistance to the demands supposed to be
made by Mr. Sumner. With a good deal of
reluctance, and with some qualifications, I
said we had few friends left, if approval
or, even toleration of Mr. Summer's speech was
to be the condition of friendship. With a good
deal more reluctance, but without any qualifi
cation, I say to-day that so far as I know we
have not, in that sense, a single friend in Eng
land. Of course Ido not mean that men long
conspicuous for their sympathy with us have
on a sudden become enemies, or that they re
cant anything they 'ever said on our side. But
they dissent wholly from Mr. Sumner's state
ment of the American claims and griev
ances: They find fault with the tone of the
speech, and the extent of his demands. In
nibre than one particular they are misled; or
some of- them are, by the misrepresentations
of the Loudon papers, all of which make Mr..
Suniner say some things which he clearly does
not say. Comment on the speech continues;
daily,in the press and everywhere else, and
while there is a difference in the degree
of resentment expressed in different quar
ters, the agreement of opinion is
praCtically unanimous. England will fight:
rather than yield to the claihns made or indi
cated in this speech. She will fight rather than
even negotiate on any such basis. If Mr. Mot
ley's instructions cover anything like the
ground taken by Mr. Sumner, he will be met
by a point blank. refusal to consider his propo
sals. At this moment I doubt whether any pro
posals whateyer Would be listened to If pope- .
far feeling countsfor anything in the Foreign
otlice, they would be simply scouted. 'Of
course, I daft, mean that Mr. Motley is likely
to be received with incivility. The Most
furious would greet him with politeness
enough, but all parties will resist with equal
resolution an attempt to enter upon any nego-,
tiation which does - not disavow, in fact if not
in terms; Mr. Sumner's authority to speak for
the American Government.

we saw a freight train on the track (a. single
