MARIA LA FRANTESCA.
Towards the close of the seventeenth °en
, tury there dwelt in Rome a young girl whose
history rendered her an object of universal
interest. . Her sutnamo never was known,
but she was commonly called Maria la Fran
.
• 1
t V - 801" - WHI
born in one of the villages near Rome, and
at an early age was placed by her parents,
who were very poor, in the family of an em
inent sculptor. Before she came of age, she
had conceived such an admiration of her
master's works, that she formed the bold res
olution of devoting herself. to the study of
the art—pursuing it at first in secret, but
cherishing a hope of one day attaining pub
lic success. Maria .confided her intentions
'to an artist who frequently visited her mas
ter's studio, and begged of him to give her
a few lessons •in modeling; the artist not only,
granted her request, but induced his friend,
Dr. Corona, to aid Rim in the instruction of
the enthusiastic girl.
The first step gained,Maria devoted every
moment she could snatch' from. her house•
hold duties to modeling and drawing—she
was never idle. To execute something wor
thy of her master's praise was the highest
object of her ambition. Life had now no
charms for her; if her resolution at any time
wavered, or she felt overcome by the diffi
culties of her task, Maria used to go secretly
to the Vatican, and there, surrounded by the
great works oiancient art, her enthusiasm
was speedily rekindled and her courage re
vived. She would pass hours• together look.

them until she felt her mini thoroughly im
bued with their beauty. These—were—her

the surest guarantee of success, she labored

ed nothing to turn har from her purpose.—
She listened eagerly to every word of advice
and instruction which she chanced to hear

ured all up in her memory; and afterwards
in her quiet hours, when•she bad time to re
flect, or to pursue her studies, she •turned
his instryetions to good account.
lly this steady pursuit of her object by
her perseverance, and a , careful economy of
time, Maria made a, progreis that astonish
ed. the' friends who• were. in her secret. At,
length she went to work upon a stutue, on
which she hid bestowed long and anxious
liought, and' which File ' ' hoped to render
worthy of public exhibition,. She told so
one of her project; and it was only in hours
stolen 'from her' daily duties, or more, fre
quently.from her night's rest % that she could
prosecute her work. Two years, did the
energetic • girl' labor -on—in • secret, , unaided
'even by the voice' 'of encouragement, but
supported by her 6w n 'enthusiasm. "At

from all parts of Rome to the Capitol, and

It so happened that Maria's master was

mark the history of the brightest years.—
For not a whole month in many millions of
the past, perhaps, has the sun shone brilliant
ly all the time. There have been cold, stor
my days every year. And yet : the mist and
shadows of the darkest hour disappeared and
fled heedlessly. The most cruel ice fetters
have been broken and dissolved, and 'the
most furious storm loses its power to harm.
And what a parable is this in, human life—
of Our own inside world, where the heart
works at its shadowing, of the dark hour, and
many a cold blast chills the heart to its , core.
But what matters it? Man is born a hero,
and its only in the darkness and storms that
heroism gains its greatest and itir best devel
opment, and the storm beats it on more' rap
idly to its det4iny. Despair not then. Nei

Mortifying failure may attend this-effort and

will work well.

;
Bel Question. When is the intereit paya
ble and how can, it be oolleeted Z.
Answer. The Coupons or Inieyest
etEr are due 15th of February and J.sth of
August in each year , and can betent off front
the note, and will bo cashed by any Sub-
Trersurer,V. S. Depository; National or oth

4thiQuestion.' When m.usiitheGovernment
pay off these 7.30 s 't •
Answer.. They are due in two years and
a half from the 15th of February, 1865; viz:
on the 15th of August, 1867.
sth Question. Must I receive back 'my
money so soon as 1867 ?
Answer. No ! not unless you. yourself pre
for to do so—the Law gives you the right
to demand from the Government, .at that
time, either your money or an ect,ual amount
at par, of the famous and popular 5.20, Gold
Bearing 6 per cent. Loan.
6th Question. How much do you consid
er this privilege of. conversion, into 5.20
Loan to be worth 7
Answer. 5.20 s bearing Gold Interest from
lst of November, are to-day worth 9 per
cent. premium. If they are worth no more
at the end of the two years and a half, when
you have a right to them, than they now are,
this premium added to the interest you re
ceive, will give you at least 10 per cent, per
annum for' your money—but the opinion is
that , they will be worth more than 9 per
cent. premium at that time.
' 7th Question. What other advantages is
there in investing in the 7.30 Loan ?
Answer. It cannot be taxed by States,
Counties, or Cities, and this adds from 'one
to three per cent. per annum to the net in
come of the holder, according to the rate of
taxation in various localities. All bonds aud
stooks, except those of the United States,
and all mortgages, &e., are taxed, not only
by the Government, but by States, Counties,
and - C res.
Bth Question. How does the Government
raise the money to pay the interest, and is
it safe'and sure ?
Answer. The Government, collects, by tax
es, internal revenue, and duties on imports,
fully three • hundred millions each year.—
This is nearly three times as ?much as is
needed to pay the interest on all the. debt,
and as soon as the war is ended, the amount
not needed to pay the interest will be used
in paying off the debt. Our Government
has twice paid of all iti debt, rand can easily
do so again.. The interest is sure to be paid
promptly, and the debt itself is the very sa
fest investment in the world. It is as safe
as a mortgage on a good farm, and pays a
better interest. It is, in fact, a Pim Mort
gage on all lands, all incomes, all railroad
and canal bonds, and bank or other stocks,
mortgages, d;o.
Nothing can be safer, for we small bound
for it, and all that we have is firmly held for
the payment-of principal and interest. How
foolish those people are, who keep their gold
and greenbacks idle and locked up, or pur
chase mortgages or railroad stocks and bonds,
which pay. only 5 or 6 per cent. interest,
when these Seven-Thirties pay (counting the
premium__on--Five-Twenties-a-over - ten - per
cent:, and are so much safer and surer. r
9th Qiiestiou. How many Seven-Thirties
are there, and how much remains unsold r
Answer. There are only aliout three ban
dyed and twenty.five miiltons authorized by
law, And only , about one hundred' and ninety
millions°remain unsold. , •
101 A Question. How loug-siill it take you
to sell the balance?
Answer. There are about 800 National
Haas all engaged in selling thew; also a largo
number of the old banks, and at least three
thousand private bankers' and brokers, and
special agents will be engaged in all parts of
the country in disposing of them to the peo
ple. '
11th Question. How long will it hike to
sell therwhole ? '
Asaccii:qa less than thine:months they
will be nil sold, and will - no doubt then sell
at a premium, as was the case with - the old
Seven-Thirties, the firatTwenty.:Year , Loan,
and the Five-Tarentiiii.'
