I have drank till Irina& have left me,
Till my strength of mind is gone;
And amid the world rm standing..
A reprohato-wlone
I have blighted sweet affections,
I have wronged a gentle heart.
And the helper I fondly cherished,
In the night of grief--depart.
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.
Though rye wept upon the coffin
Of the sweetest hopes of life,
ThOugh my cup henceforth be mingled
With the wretchedness of strife—
There's a just god reigns abeve us—
In hid goodness will I trust ;
Bowing low in meek submission,
And auger as I must.
THE CLOUD

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

crown had never circled the Redeemer's
head ;so now, without clouds, we cannot
gee the rainbow and the darker they are,

We diced die
,firat evening at the Train,

; 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*

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,

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

sweep of die bay was visible fmm &wren

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

dashed upward, reached the atlmmit, got

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. I should have felt jealous
had she attended to any one else ; but was
quite angry at hearing her jestingly spok

remark sometimes throws cold water on

A Hundred Years Ago.
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

there were scarcely five millions of people
in the United States, and Ohio was almost.
as much of a wilArness as Oregon is now.
