After a whole winter spent in studying art at Rome, I had come diOwn, sitting bodkin betireen two Germans in a cheap Vetturino cordate, to study nature at, Na ples. I was so sick of huge picture gal leries, hired models, and the gossip of the studios, that I thought, it would be a re lief to paint landscape for a change ; Bo it said to others, and, so I said , to myself; but iny< own heart contradicted tue. I knew very well, in my innermost soul, that it was in bitterness of spirit'that I left Rome, unable to bear the sight of oth: er teen's proSperity. It stung me to see tnen : whom I. knew to be interior to my selt .in taste, in knowledge of color, in originality, in everything, but a plodding, stolid industry, pass me in the race of life. This is a cold, bard, work-a. : day century of ours, an age without Sympathy for the flaws -and genius„ .and mensal-- eanaCitics_liv the saupoi pitifoL • , oot-rule oft he results attained. And so / wept to„ a eb, and-when I the heats of the sultry_ Italian summer I came on, kid a roint - lite among the coast I towns and peity watering places within reach of the great city, now at Ilortici, now at Sorrento, and dawdling away weeks at Salerno or Castelmare. A lacy, good-for-nothing life it 'Nras; a little of castle-building, of 'regrets that I tried to banish, and of hopes that I knew could never blossom into' realities. I was still young, not four-and4wenty,but I thought I hada right to consider myself a disap pointed man. Doubly disappointed.— First, because I had not met with encour agement from connoisseurs and the 'pub lic. Secondly, because Lucy Graham, dear little Lucy, whom I loved, and had loved for years, and who would have shared my poverty unmurmuringly, was not to be my wife. Her relations were wise, forsooth. "They could not, bear," they said, "pf the dear girl's thrciwing herself away upon an idle, purposeless man, who would drag her.down,with him into the mire of merited poverty." How false and selfish such reasoning. was -They might have known—Luey'a aunt and Lu ey's brother, to whose will her gentle na ture deferred—that with such an induce ment,; such a talisman, as her love and her welfaTa. depending on my toil, I should 4are done fifty . times as much ais I had ev er achieved - eirthout such , a spur to exer tion. _ • A Peneiless!artist cannot live,even. in that country; arVays Cheap to those whose wants are few, lint work. there fore; worked ; inanibitteus ion Abet did not task my patience vier: Colored sketches of mountain scenery,Una bits of blue Mediteirinears; with bronzed fiihernieri,"peasants • goat skins end Serge, sqtrare-eopped tda men with pitchers, nets, olives, vmeyarda; rocks and red eapso drew! from•time to time and' these • sold freely.' idy elierpa rons"tvere the foreign.

TURNING , OVER A NEW LEAP. monnos - E, PAI::TiIArRSDArifEI3. ..‘: • - .t~:. 7:;...:.'f: ~ There,. Was one object-;that espebially caught. my eye, the new,. railroad, then in process of construction, and -which was being-parried out like 'most of. theiren ways.of Europe,l'h ' y F 4 nglish skill and Eng+ lisli•capital., As I looked,- I saw. a cutting' far beneath we, in which a gang of labor ers were stilliat work. The low rays.of die sun flashed upon their. variontly,elad ferms, their , 'wade topped, by the retilklii plea cap, or bound turban-like-viitha-red colored haidkerchief, 'and, the picks and spades that- tearing a way through : 'the volcanic soil.. I stood. afar off and Watch• ed them ; but. not ..with any . sympathy with their toil or its ultimate objects. Ou the, eoptrary, as I looked,: I felt mylip curl, and my brow darken, for the specta cle suggested. unpleasant thoughts. The enntractor who had undertaken that , sec tion of the new line was no other thariLu ey's odious elder brother, that very Geo: Graham who had, had the chief share in breating off the half engagement between his orphan sister and myself. A cleeer, plausible man, who had succeeded, and who, like all t he successful in this world, treated failure as a crime. I had ,never met this prosperous rela tive of Lucy's, nor did I desire ; to meet him. His opinion of myself had • been formed from the t eport of mutual acquain tances, from the conversation of Lucy and her,,,, L annt, and from , a brief correspon dence that had beg un _ and ended in anger. To meet George - Graham was more than I had bargained for, and I quickly made up my mind to quit Portici. A strange whim had urged me to visit this little town, and that whim had been disappointed. While last at Salerno, an American traveller had given mo an ani mated description of some adventures with the banditti, and had told me a stun her of anecdotes of , the most celebrated brigand chiefs of the day, Saltocco,•Capo Rosso, Malinghetti, and another freeboot er, whose nickname of L'Agnellor, or the "Lamb," ironically expressed his pecul iarly ferocious disposition. My informant was a doctor, and to this circumstance he had owed his immunity from anyill-usage while in the hands of his dangerous hosts, many of whom were at the time'suffering irom marsh fever, and among them their. leaderaltpcco. The American had been lucky, enough, having a medieine, chest ainonithis locragr. e .„ l , . icse, Invalids; ti),(llWie n iVrrMs Medical service, they had set him free, uninjured and unransomed, retaining, however, his gold watch and chain,which the chief promised to wear as a keep-sake; The account Dr. Hucks gave of the wild bivouacs, high up in the thin clear air of the mountain solitudes, of the ,Sulvator Rosa, groups around the fires, the dances, the village merely-makings, in which the brigands took a part as welcome guests, had piqued my eiDiosity.. My desire was to obtain, if I -could, a eitkpulicinctio in spect" the - aiiini of these marauders. For the idea of painting a great picture, and growing famous at a tangle effort, haunt ed my fancy yet, as a similar idea •does that of many and many an idle Man. 'Who knew whether some quaintly savage scene amid the hills might not suggest matter for a work that should ,even yet retrieve my blighted fortunes? Most complete; however, had been the failure, of these romantic notions. Ifound the good people of Portici by no means desirous to admit the existence of' 'bri gands in their vicinity. All stories of out rage and• - plander were gros - s exaggera tions. A petty theft might now' and then take place, but, beyond' the pillage of. a hen-roost or a vineyard, no transgreSsion was: authentic. In fact, I suspect the Bourbon government at Naples,anxious to avert the troublesome advice of foreign powers, issued orders that the banditti ; if they should not be exterminated, should •beignored. "I beg your pardon, but I conclude that your name is Edwards, and that yon are staying at the Alborg() d'lnghilterra ; is it- nOt , so ?" said a voice` in English at my elbow.

I laughed, and replied that to build cathedral was a nobler task than to plan a railroad. "I don't know that," said 'my no* 'tic quaintnee, sturdily. ' '" I never go about my task - in" tunnel or cutting, without re membering that every ono of these iron links between town and town, country and country, as a step*- toward bridging over the gulf that lies between mankind and happiness and liberty..

No civil.; izerlike a railway," . riAMl's ernopyer t Mr..Georgo -03raham, shared these Erie sentiments with regard to the iron, , ways Which he was building.. The stranger's eyes twinkled. - "GeO. Graham," he said, with a dry laugh ; GrEallarn is obliged to have an eye to the main chance. He can't afford to indulge his fancy much, but must look to the balance sheets and steer clear of the Gazette. I sometimes think he would prefer a safe salary to the profits he nets, and the anxious days and slpepless nights that go to the winning of them." Presently I-askfthini what he thought of his. employer,Graham, but he was ' somewhat reservd in his,replies " A strict hand. Keeps us all to our collars. Won't tolerate any shirking of. work, on his own part,or that of otbers. He pays well, but he will have the penny worth for the penny," was all I could gather, and I own I was disappointed. I wanted to have a right to despise this hard money-grubber, who stood between his gentle sister and myself, and it would have been music to my. ears, to hear him called tyrant and" miser. Independently of this, I took a great fancy to the rugged I stranger, and not the less, perhaps, be-, cause he bluntly disagreed with my own theories of social life, ,which I freely pro pounded to him. " I've heard most of your arguments before, Mr. Edwards," said he; , `f but I hope you won't think Mande when I say that when a young felloiv is on bad terms„ with the world, it isn't so Muck , the= world's fault is_th.4 - of the other . party. .I know practice is better than precept v and I have no right , to , preach, hut one thing 111 sa,y, INeiaken a 'nava you, brief as our acquaintanceias beeri v and in spite of your wild tal)Fouid 0, 4 -* ever be of : I service; I Perhap s m you ay, not , think a ;peer: 0441LT:0i - 40p- Worth ',haVr ins, but shoald .yoaev,er be really in want. ; of a friend,,,whilejant in Italy, send me a line.
