I have wandered far and sadly, And my heart can thrill no more ; But the thoughts still fondly linger O'er the pleasant days of yore ; In the times when I am saddest— In my hours of mental pain— When delirium's fever tortures, And there's fire within my brain. When I shrink from all around me, With a dread and dangerous fear— There gleams in mem'ry's desert Animals bright and clear : O'er its joys of placid gladness— O'er its hope's of brighter years, I can dwell with mournful sadness, And in wealth of guileless tears.

THE CLOUD lied there never been a cloud, there had never been a reinbow. In Paradise there Was none, in matt's innocence there was uo need of any. Had there been no sin, there would never have been any tiorro w, any gloom ; but one clear, bright day of un broken sunshine. But then we never could have seen the Father—have beheld him in all his wisdom, power and love, exhibited to us now in the face of Jeans Christ, nor ever have attained that eternal height of glory prepared for us by union with the Sun of God. Without the tre mendoua darkness of the fall. the rainbow crown had never circled the Redeemer's head ;so now, without clouds, we cannot gee the rainbow and the darker they are, the brighter it appeare. **Through much tribulation we must enter the kingdom of heaven."

We diced die ,firat evening at the Train, ria deli', Er role, and took an ice at the Care di Europti. ; But our heeds were in a dis agreeable w hirl, and. we enjoy.ed.nothieg.. We missed the creaking and the groanin g of the , Maria Christina,; for which the Tumbling of a few carriages, and the buzz pf .voices on the promenade, seemed—such is the force of habit—so insignificant com. peusation. Lines of well-lit shops, crowds of .well dressed people, balconies filled with ladies, collonades of churchea, and fa. cedes of palaces.danced dimly before our, eyes, instead of the accustomed eordages, the naked masts, the smelly sail, the breast high bulwarks,_ and that horrid squat fun nel, with its cascade of black smoke, tin ged, as it rolled forth, with a dull red glow. When I retired to rest, I caught myself holding on to the bed as if prepared to get into it ; and I dreamed of nothingall night but the trampling of feet overhead, whist hog of wind through the rigging. sbilling of the anchor-chain, and all sorts pf aheminable noises., These physical reininis , cences, however, dissappeared next day, and I was prepared to enjoy Naples. I did enjoy it;, end 'I hope all my read ers may enjoy it too. I know this is wish ing a tremendously long life to some pf them : but ouch a wish will offend nobody. During one of my strolls—this time I was a-. lone—T came to the loot of the vast flight of steps shaded by trees that leads up to wards the casdo of St. Elmo. It was Just past midday ; and I suppose everybody was beginning the siesta ; for not a single living soul could I see in any direction.— I sat down on one of the steps, under the shadow of a large elm, and looked upwards towards the sky along, the broken avenue of trees that led aloft. There was some thing singularly beautiful to me in the scene. The trees here and there met, and huddled their heads together, and threw down a thick black shadow ; beyond was a bright patch of sunshine ; and then some thinly sprinkled branches bent across, and fluttered their green and, gold leaves be tween me and the patch Of blue sky that glanced at the top, seeming to be the only destination of this_lofty staircase, I was gazing upward, as if in expectation, but in reality admiring this curious effect, when a small dark form intercepted my view of the sky. I had amost imagined myself at the foot of Jacob's ladder ; but the spell was at once broken, and I was a., bout to rise and go away, when the singu lar motions, of the person who had distur bed me drew my attention. It was evi7 dettilv a girl with naked feet , but neat gar ment.; her head was laden with iiwers ; and she skipped down with' all e light nesstfi of the gazelle for some spa ; then came to a halt, possibly on seeing a stran ger ; then continued tier progress—now brightly in the suit, now dimly in the shade, until she came, and, after a sidelong glance at me, eat down on the opposite end of the sem 'cep, where there was no protection from the heat. I now noticed that she carried a basket in her hand, from which she produced a variety of objects, evident ly manufactured from 'lava. These she arranged by her side:and examined with care, etery now and then casting a look towards me. There was a wildness in her eye, and a quaintness in her whole demeanor that pleased me, especially as her features were almost without a fault.— So I remained* where 1 was, studying her movements ; and the idea seddenly *struck me that I was occupying her usual place, and that shyness prevented her from com ing nearer. So I arose and went a little higher up, she at once crossed over, 1 .1 thought, with a grateful smile. A ,little , while afterwards she called to me and ask ed if I would buy some of her curiosities. There was evidently no sordid motive in this; for when I came near iihe made no allusion to a bargain, but said I had chosen ii place where there was not suffi cient shade. I asked her a few questions I shout the lava, hut got only vague answers. What conversation passed eras a random kind of talk about the difference of Italy and foreign countries. It was evident that in the girl's eyes “Napoli"--which she pronounced with magnificent em phasis— wall the 'only place in the world worth ad miring. 'She bad seen no other. The people; however, were bad—very bad. I thought, upon this observation, that some thing like a story was corning ; but the throat intl.fatio of the girl only da timed with a rusli!of blood, and she grew utterly silent. Suddenly she arranged her lava hastily in hb: basket, started Op', leaving* piece' which .r had been holding In 'my hand, and, had not paid fbr, and ran aw ay. down the street.

Our temperanients were still too nbrthern. We were not yet soothed doWn by the sunny sky and balmy Air of Italy ; and got stared at in consequence with contemp tuous curiosity by the languid peasants in the fields. At length a zig-zag road commenced, and up we went, turning ever and anon to view the expanding bay, softened down into apparent calm by distance. Green gul lies and ravines of lava began to be inter mingled ; but tranquil observation was, peon interinpted by tremendous gusts of wind that Caine rearing down tieelder of the mountain, and enveloped us in whirl winds. of dust, sometimes mingled with pebbles, at every turn of the road.' 'lt :was hard work to get on ; and we were.glad enough to reach , the Hermitage ,and Ob servatery, where we tossed oft' a glass of Lachrroa Christi to'restore us. The rest of the toad 'Wee thing a narrow ridge leading to the foot of the great black cone, On, either side were gullies of green, and beYond great red fields of lata. It was not remarkably safe titling, and by no. means commodious. Sometimes one's note touched, the horse's or ass's neck ; sometimes the ba'ck • of erie's head was whisked by the tail. It was a sort of rock: ing-horse motion. But we arrived safe et the dismounting place ; and 1 must con fess, looked rather dismayed at the despe rately steep cone up which we were bound to scramble. But in traveling, “on, on," is the word ; so on We went, stumbling up through the triturated and black lava, as if fame, or something else equally valuable had been at the summit. Mrs. Jenkins was in an open palanquin, borne by eight men, who grunted, staggered. crawled u. or slid back, shouted, laughed, and bela bored one another with -their climbing. poles, while the undaunted lady eat as cooly as in her drawing-room at home, making observations on the scenery, which we could scarcely hear, and were too breathless to answer. In about an hour we neared the summit, and got under a vast canopy of sulphurous, smoke, tvhith, blown by the fairies wind, rolled grim. and black' over the serrated edge, stretched its irripenetrable mass be tweak us and the "sky, and then swooped doWned inward the bay, and dispersed in a vast-mist. Most parts of the plain; too, were covered with a low ground-fog. It was a grand sight as we paused and look ed back before the last effort. The whole sweep of die bay was visible fmm &wren to to Baia, together with the islands, scat tered like giant sentinels at the mouth ; but all looked etrange and fantastic through the sulphurous vapor. The sun was set ting in a bath of blood and gold, just be hind a straight line of ebony clouds with a sharp rim, like a wall of black marble. The white houses on the slopes of Coate! a Mare were already looking ghastly in the twilight. Our temples throbed with fatigue; but the guide cried Forward," and we soon came to the disagreeable part of the busi ness. The smoke was forced by the wind in a cascade some fifty yards down the declivity, and as soon as we got into it au awful sense of suffocation came on. The guide swore. and some of us talked of re treating. But the majarity were for per severing; and, panting and coughing, we dashed upward, reached the atlmmit, got into the midst of a fearful wrens of black smoke, like that which is vomited by a steamer's funnel, and staggered giddily a bout making which way to go.

I' was standing ork the. brink of a vast chasm of fire, to which no flame was, ' but only a dreadful glow, that thick ened by distance into substance. The wind shrieked around, the volcano roared' Above, .the tremendous cloud of black 'smoke swayed and wavered as -it rolled,. beaten down by, the Wind to the outer edge of the crater, like a vast snake, or, when the blast for a moment ceased, towered aloft like an evil genius, and dispersed a mid the clouds. • "Come bank I comeback !" cried °hits. as .the smoky piled cinders trembled be. neath no, and we 'both,' panic-stricken, rushed m a surrer Tooting, while the point ) we had occupied slided 'into the golf of fire!

All this was unlike folly, and together with' 'our companionship in danger.' heightened the interest I felt in ray wild-looking, beau tiful vide. • We all returned toward the edge of the crater, and collected in a lava cave to light torches for our journey back. Here we met two or three men armed with guns. who professed to be guards, and might have been brigands. One of them spoke rather roughly to the volcano girl. who took refuge by my side and would not quit it. We started again by the light of great flaming torches, and soon began the de scent down a dusty decline. It was a strange, rapid piece of work. The whole party, ran, rushed, tumbled, elided, rolled down in one confused crowd. the torchei glaring, flakes of burning pitch scattered here and there, the palanqinexibbing up and down, the mountain sloping up to the clouds behind, and down into darkness, be fore. We decended this time into the old crater---a great plain of dust and pumlce stone. All was gloomy around : but the lights of Naples and Portici could be dis. tinguished in the distance. Our horse. and donkeys were waiting for us where we had left them; and we rode rapidly back via the Hermitage, but over the plain of lava, inetead of Ity, the xig-aag loud, toward Portoci. Ohita ran all the way by my side , but rarely spoke, except to tell me when we approached a steep declivity.

A hundred years ago, a stupid Gamma* monarch reigned over these United Stabil —then-holonies of Great Britain—and oi• the whole earth, with the exception of Swit zerland, there was not a single republie'se any pretensions. A hundred years ago the' French lilies floated over Quebec, Pittsbn.rgi and New Orleans. A hundred years sgo . the old French monarchy existed—the Bev ! tile reared its accursed towers—and Louis , the Fifteenth dallied with Infamous wait: tons, squandered his subjects' money, mat blasphetned in his own person the name of man. Fifty years ago the name of Napo- leon was still comparatively strange, for Mai rengo, Au s terlitz, Wao: ' to rn, and Waterloo,- bed not been fought . fifty years ago the , stesta en line was a new thing campus.' atively. Iry years ego cotton mills Irsd, , as it were, just been invented ; and railrowis c locomotives, and magnetic telegraphs, were' practically unknown. Fifty years ago' , there were scarcely five millions of people in the United States, and Ohio was almost. as much of a wilArness as Oregon is now. Fifty years as Washington had just died, Jeifersen'ins still living, and Clay ) lAtsW turn dull Calhoun ) , ware names as yet utW known to' fame.
