cnsionally she reins in her impetuous pen 'as
though it wore Pegasus, and glances upward,
her rapt-soul sitting in her-eye.
Two s''oung German ladies, in spectacles,
eit near, and embroider slippers or smoking
caps. At the farthest end of the, loggia a
Gernian man, of the long-haired and long
mouthed type, stands before an easel, and
paints a dreadful green' and brown and blue
picture. Every now 'and then, one of the
Gunnan women gots up and goes and ad
mires it 'vith " So!". mid " Achl', :and
" Wendetschon !" .
There is also the bighead of, this party,
an elderly gentleman, who stts and reads a
horrid Hite pale-typed German newspaper,
llullas,apparently, conceived a violent an
tipathy to Vesuvius, for I observe that he
utters-a gruutns of deepest disgust, - when- -
ever ho comes into the loggia and faces its
cloven-summit yonder., - lie then seizes a
chair, twirls it round, bumps it down, and
lumps himself on it, turning his broad bitek
on thusci purp'e horns, uplifted over Naples
like a charm to avert the evil aye.
There are two guests beside all thesei also
German ;tbut quite -unconnected with the
larger party. ThoSe are two young'painters

Presently, while I. am...sketching, these
young fellows collie in. They are mere. &I? ,
of nineteen or twenty, with inteliigunt,honE,

serious aspect which is common in Gorman
physiognomies, and as often looks like
stupidity as thoughtfulness. They are dress
ed in loose gray clothes, and little tolt_hats ;
their fair hair is cropped, short, and they are
too young to manifest mu*beard.

It is curious-ta'observe how the English
and the Germans avoid their own country
folk, whom they encountercasua as
strangers in a foreign land. No other peo
ple do the like, as far as I am aware. As
for the French, they jump to each other like
magnetised needles, Whenever they approach,
especially - if they have boon rubbed upon'
the Paris loadstone.
The German lade and I have 'established
a kind of entente-cordiale, duo in
. part.. to
likeness in ago and tastes. Not ! that I am
tist, but I have a turn to pen-and-ink
'drawing that is a - source of pleasuro - to',my7
self and some indulgent porsons of my ac
quaintance; and the, young Germar.sq.cften
look ovor my shoteli-boA with a "dos ist

Permettoz," said the older lad,, seeing
that I had shut my hook modestly, at their
approach, and leaning from his porch on the
parapet to take it out of my hand.
The pagei were .full pen-and-inkings
of arlything• odd, beautiful, or picturesque,
that had struck my fancy.. I suppoie a car
tain touch of huinour was 'the chief merit of
these - rough sketches. On 'tlie - .last loaf

"Why,!' said I, ".that is the town 'gate,
yonder, up the Mountain—the town 'gate or
Capri."

who, now that his sketch-book }vas in our
hands, and his companion, not himselfi - the
showman, seemed ifratilbal by our admira

of course you perceive.'! •
" I have never yet boon up the mountain
On that side," quoth Elizabeth, "had
come to Capri for her health. "I feel quite,
strong now, and I propose that we aceoinpany
monsieur when ho goes to finish his sketch—
if that would not be disagreeable." •
When my brother, Oeptein John Fresh°,
came in, it was settled that we should ' all
climb the mountain .together, that afternoon,
as soon as the sun got low.
In the cool 43f the day, thon, my brother
and wife; - Karl — Ludwiw - and -1,-- climbed-to
thO town of Capri: our convalescent Eliza
beth was on the padrono's mule, whiah step - -
ped lightly ups the stone stairs -of -the
mountain, being to the manner born.
We counted- on rOticbingi the-ruined placo
upon the elitiof 4 - "fimberio" by sunset, all
except Karl, who was to stop half way _and
finish hisrnierciscopic drawing of the gate,
and to rejoin us, or be rejoined; as we Came

A fresh' fragrant air revived 'us as we
- climbed. --The sun had sunk behind, an in-_
tervening peak at our backs, but the bay and
half its shores basked in a wonderful radi
ance, a prismatic glory.
As we approached the ,grey gateway, a
little procession of: women and bright
,ly clad, with baskets on their heads, came
trapping down the steno stops that ascended
through thi3 Gothic arch. They tripped
down the steep stair in twos and threes,
laughing and chattering, but with their
pretty, natural courtesy, and kindly smiling,
ranged themselves in single' file •to pass mi.
Among them, as they wont, I caught
sight of a girl's face that made inc open my
oyes wide with surprise and pleasure at its
beauty.
