In an apartment of the Beauchamp Tower, ILon- don, a young; maiden seems busily at work ovcr her books. Her table is covered with folios, in the Latin language. A simple white dress falls in ample folds around the tall, slender form; at the neck is a broad, pointed lace collar: the sleeves are made in putfs. Nothing can compare with the ex- quisite delicacy of the neck and -hands, The magnificent golden-aubum hair is wound in a lir.-ivv coil at the back of the head: but over brow and temples, and be- hind the small ears, it ripples , in 'number iess'tifiv "ringlets like the sunbeams. Gold en also are the? lashes of the deep-blue eyes. The expression of the face is linn rather than eentle: the forehead is that of ajsov- ereignj fhe nose is acpiiline; but aroml the lins .-it tin's mnmont r. nvs a smile ol amiit- terable sweetness, and the glance say!s: "I am happv, for I love !'A ! '' .1 The maiden writes eagerly on a, loose leaf which lies in the volume before her, and it is verses she inscribes upon it. The vonii"-.

The young girl gazes dveamily out," over the massive walls and dark-giant buildings t.Hlt& river, on whose glassy surface the ships arc lazily floating up and down ana. further, further on to the great gate of the Tovrer and the road leading to London. Tltfre it was she had first- seen ,him- hiin; themaiB who had become the happiness and the misery of her young life, x resh and glowing as it it had been,? but vestf- day. that supreme moment ag.nfu rose before her soul.

His noble, regular features were deathly pale at this moment; an expression of deepest melancholy lav in his large, dark eves.

The sombre character of the city accorded with his melancholy: and pious monks received him as a guest into their cloister. There, for hours long, he would sit at a window gazing out into the quiet cloister garden, or listening dreamily to the water of the fountain, as it fell rippling into the broad, marble basin; or he would lean his weary forehead against the trailing vines of the perennial white roses, inhaling their fra- grance that brought to him a thousand sweet dreams and remcubrauces. And no, day 'after day, ho waited for the message from home. Noiseless footsteps fiitted past him; .footsteps of the monks,, grave, earnest men with thoughtful fore- heads ami eyes that spoke ol peace. A ith tenderest sympathy they gazea into-that young, gentle tace,-that bore traces ol heavy conflicts, and of wild, passionate longings. f - Oue day, a messenger from England de- manded secret audience of Edward Court- euay, and when it was grant ed the stranger handed him a little casket with a golden key. ' The casket contained nothing but the secret poems of Elizabeth and a with- "ered white rose which turned to dust at tlw touch of her 'lover's trembling hand. There was no other message not a word. The messenger knew not who had sent the'eas- ket. ami he returned liberally rewarded. In deepest emotion, Edward Court qnay j tressed ' iv writ ren leaves to his lips a strange.ntovicating perfume stole from theiii-; he "came and spa friends. lis sen f es wavered, but as soon as to hihiscu, with glowing cheeks vliug eyes, Ue rushed to his serious "1 must return home at once," he said, hastily; "my bride. calls me. Ile joice with, me, for 1 shall be happy!'' Scarce had he spoken these words when he fell into a swoon. AVild fever-phantasies followed: and the next morning the pious monks wept and prayed by the corpse of him they haa loved so well. For three -lavs the beautiful dead lay in state, cover ed with white roses; and, as they bore him to his grave in the Church of St. Antonius, women and children strewed white roses all along the way, so that it almost seem ed as, if a shower had fallen. Hoses follow ed him into the dark vault, and 'thc-wyster-ious caskeft was hud in his eofiiiv.

Half a centurv ago bellows making was a thriving traue. Every house nad its pair of bellows, and in every well furnished mansion there was a pair Lung by the side of every lire place. Ipsw ich, in Massa chusetts, acquired quite aAotorietv all over Xew England for the elcgiut nd substan tial articles of the kind it produced. But as stoves and grates took the place of open lire places, and as coal was substituted for wood, the demand for bellows' diminished until the business, as a separate trade, quite died out. The same is true of flint cutting. Flints Were once necc sarv, not only for firearms, but for tinder boxes. aud a tinder box was as -necessary for every house as a gridiron or a skillet. Every one who looks to child hood of forty -years -go; roust remember the cold winter mornings when the persis tent crack of the flmt against the steel sent up from thev kitchen an odor of; igniting tinder and sulphur which pervaded the house. I have no' more idea what became of the Hint producers than of the old man of sorrowful memories, who, three or four times a week, called at our door with brim stone matches for sale at a cent the half dozen bunches. Both have been as com pletely banished from England and New England as 'have the red Indians and the Druids. .' , Then again are gone- pin makers, who, though they may have been in their graves this quarter of a century, still figure in lec tures and essay to illustrate the advantages of division of labor. Instead cf a pin tak ing a dozen men to cut, grind, point, head, polish and what not, as it used to do, pins areiow made by neat little machines at d per minute, of J:i .i the rate ot. three nundrea which niaekines a single half-a-dozen. " l Nail making at the forge is another lost industry; Time was, and that in this nine teenth century, when every nail was made hundred to on the anvil. . Is ow, from one -T 1 ' "I 1 A j x One tnousanu naxis per uunute are uiuue uv i-.m...L.u v. machines.

She knew there would be several covered carriages furnish ed at the expense of the family, and she was eouallv confident it would be so man aged Jthat she would occupy a portion of one of them. She was among the nrst at Ltlie house, and occupied a prominent posit- tion.

Then the third and last coach filled and drove off to take its place in the line, and Mrs. Moriaty dried her tears, choked back the sorrow, of her heart with one mighty gulp, and strode into her own house shutting the front door without the aid of a knob.

Julius Ca?sar An ancient Roman of celebrity. He advertised to the effect that he had rather be first at Rome than second in a small village. He was a man of great muscular strength. Upon one occasion- he threw an entire army across the Rubicon. A general named Pompey met him in what -was called the; "tented field," but Pompey couldn't hold a Roman candle to Julius. We are assured, upon the author ity of Patrick Henry, that "Caesar had his Brutus." The unbiased reader of history, however, will conclude that, on the con trary, Brutus rather had Caesar. This Brutus never struck me, as an unpleasant man to meet, but he did Ca?!sar. After ad dressing a few oral remarks to Brutus in the Latin language, Caesar expired. His subsequent - career is without interest. Ca'sar was bald, -which Grant is not, and wore a laurel fly brush to conceal the bil liard ball .which he called a head. A' smiple-rininded youth, in Baltimore, recently consulted a fortune-teller, ahd paid two dollars for a document containing the following important and satisfactory infor mation concerning his future: "Yon "will enjoy, good future plenty. Your senses ought to be gratified at that time, for you should know that you will bo very lucky with your business, and succeed with everything. After a short time you will be informed about an inheritance that will make you much jov: but if vou cannot be truly happy in your future, you will have to support the poor. JJo lavors to your enemies, because vou may need them when you are unlucky." A local printer offers to supply any quantity of such messages, assorted kinds, and all warranted direct from the stars, at tlio rate of two dollars per hundred There's no end to the unpleasantness of irendly and unceremonious calls. The etiquette of calls involves more white lies than anything else in the world: and now it has been getting in the way of a woman m llartiord who wanted to hang herseli. Three several time's did she make ready for that agreeable perfonnance, and as of ten did people' conio ringing at the door, visiting anil interfering with all her ar rangements and discouraging her generally. She says, sadly, that it s impossible to tang one's self cOmfortably in Hartford without neglecting some of one's friends. Observe tho heartlessness of modern society. The Louisville Courier-Journal does not telive in trans-Atlantic traveling. It says': '.'If 3Iont Blanc were a solid lump of gold, and if in order to become the owner of it we had nothing to do but go over in Prof. v isc s balloon and tako possession ol it, we would a thousand times rather sit down on the shore of Massachusetts bay and starve to leath'.

Once a careless man went to the cellar and stuck the candle in what he supposed was a keg of black sand.

He hadn't play ed ball himself for thirty years, and knew nothing of the kind of ball base-ball clubs have introduced m the past few vears, but he felt the old spirit rising in -him at. the memory of former tri umphs, and he held up. his hands and told his son to "let her 6lide." she slid. He caught it full and fair, and then dropped it, and started into the house, with his eyes full of tears, and his hands pressed under his arms. The youth subsequently in formed another boy that he could plainly hear the 'old man's" bones snap. "Let go that jib let go that jib, quick! shouted the captain of a down-cast sloop to a raw hand in a squall.

Editors : In a former com munication T gave you an account of where ' and how the plebeian dead of Tuscany and some other parts of Italy were disposed of. Now I will give you an idea , -of wliat is done with tho dead of tho aristoi'acy, the rich and the nobility The Italia'ns have ; ho beautiful cemeteries bike ' the Danes, Hollanders, Saxons, .French, and other people of Europe. Their nuns are interred within the enclosure of the convents, and their monks are always buried inTcemeter ies within the walls of their' own monas- f ' teries. For instance, the order of the' Cap nchihs has a; property near Florence of ma- ; ny hundred acres in extent, (and as valua ble land as one can find in Italy) on which arp situated the buildings of the monaste- i ry. These bmldings,'which form anob- long square, present a very beautiful front, having for its centre one of the most gor geous chapels in all Europe. Tho sides and end of this oblong square, how ever, are composed of two-story buildings of the most diminutive size. At tho end inside of this court rest tho remains of the monks. Theirs arc simple graves, with only rough stones two feet square as headstones, upon which are inscribed the names and ages "of the occupants. They are, however, in their rudeness and barrenness, but final tokens of tho self-sacrificing and humble . i ves of these holy fathers. In their sim- - plicity one is reminded very much of the grave yards of the Moravians in Perinsyl- - vauia and Xorth Carolina. It it were not for digression I would like to say more a- bout these holy ; fathers, but I will onlv ' add that I believe them to bo the best of men. : r. Now, as regards the clergy or priesthood: they, are in interred in th&icentre of tho churches.? The floors of all, the churches in Italy are of mosaic, or large slabs of mar- . tie, or a gray stone resembling granite. When there is a priest to be buried, a slab is taken up, and the remains laid under the -floor. In some churches bishops, . arch bishops and cardinals are, and have been ' for many years, lying exposed to view in ' glass coflins. The nobility and very dis tinguished persons, like Michael Angelo, (whose remains rest in a cmf a.oeuvre ear- . cophagns of white marble in the church of A St. Uroix, m t lorence) are placed in most magnificent marble tombs, surmounted by monuments, which extend along the sides of the interior of the churches, at about the height of pne's head. Many of the church es have, cither in the rear or along the sidBs, consecrated ground for the receptioiv of the dead. And sometimes even fhe front, over which thousands tread, and never pause to read the epitaphs, is corise- , crated, to i departed spirits, lfiis holy ground isGnly for the rich. When a death ''. occurs the body is taken to the church; ot the family, and lies there in staT5irH day. If the corpse be that ot a female, an im mense drab clothr having a black silk-vel-" vet border abont six inches: wide, is hung up to cover the middle door of the church. It the corpse be that ot a male, howver, a black cloth, haying a white bolder look ing like silver leaf, is hung over this door . The cloths are large enough to, cover al most the entire front , of our little city churches in this Stat ft. During the time that the body lies in state the whole chime of bells of that particular church is tolled, and mass is said by the priests until night, when the burial takes place. , Here I .w3L do Italy the justice to say that the most celebrated burying place (except Westmin ster Abbey, London,) on the face of the s globe is Camjxfsanto dc Pise. Here, like. . Westminster, the higher grade of nobility,' (but no kings) the literati, and many great and .noted persons of Italy are interred. " But Camposanto is very unlike Westmin ster:, in one respect. The former is no churchy nor the yard nor court of a church.. It is an immense oblong square, having a large uncovored court. ' This court is sur rounded by 'an enclosure 60 feet high, and '. 1,000 feet'in- length by GOO in breadth. The enclosure has an arcade 40 feet ..wide. The exterior wall has neither door- not window, except the great ?door, which is ' used for entering with the corpse Mag nificent monuments, many, of them 60 feet ; high, hate been erected within this areade, A and the floor of the four sides is.' covered with slabs of marble' 7i4 feet, antler every one of wMch the dead are peacefully deep- f j ing. Instead ef an interior vail, or a wall around the court, there is one continuation ' , of semi Gothic arches, 'w hich leaves th& whole court exposed to view. ' ; 'VW. VvT f 7 j I " : ''' " A: -.'v
