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 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. _ •

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. Itumed. and confronted the.

" Not a bad . trade • either, if a man's
true vodation ho the brush, and lie sticks
to it," said the stranger, tapping 'the
crnmbling' rocks With a switch he carried,
as if to test their solidity.
" Vire don't generally 'regard it es.a
trade," said I, with something of' a sneer:
6 ‘ Pooh, nonsense ! everything by which
an honest man makes a hying, from sol
diering to shoe-making, is a trade,„and on
ly coxcombs are ashamed to t own that
they work," broke in the stranger, rather
unceremoniously; "don't let us quarrel
on matters of profeiiional etiquette, My
trade, now, is a rougher one than yours,
yet Michael Angelo knew something
about if."
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.. Ty my mind,
every_ tinkle 'Orthe hanimori or: our plate

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
