From Anselmo, a Tale of Italy-by A. ViEssIEUx:
ITALIAN WOMEN.

"Since he first crossed the Alps, Dc
Bree had become a passionate admirer of
Italian women. He was struck with their
beauty, but he was moro forcibly struck
with that grace Of the mind, that happy
mixture Of s%oftness and passion, of quick
ness and simplicity, of playfulness and mel
ancholy, which form the peculiar charm of
the daughters Of Italy. Resembling chill
dren in some respects, especially in what
relates to mental endowments, they in all

man by their courage, disinterestedness and
self-devotion. Bountiful nature has done
every thing for them education but little.
Their passions are allowed to grow in wild
lu%xuriance, but their passions are general
ly ofthe softer kind and no women in the
world are more naturally charitable and
benevolent than the Italian women. Little
inclined to vanity, they are pleased with
their %conquests for their own sakes they
seldom make a display of their power, ex-
cept towards the person whom they really
wish to captivate, and whom once they have
him bound in their silken letters, they little
care that others should witness their til

Rome was surprised when the grea,
Scipio repudiated his wife, and more
particularly as she appeared to possess
those qualifications which could render
her husband happy. In justification Of
his conduct, the noble Roman assem-
bled his friends, to whom he showed
his feet. "Behold how well this SAN
dial is made, how proper it is-but none
Of you know where 1t p~inches." With

As Cupid does not so frequently bestow
honors Of heraldry as his father Mars, we
cannot avoid relating the romantic tale
which introduced this fragrant and modest
little flower to the Observation-Disclosures.
"The Count Of Walsheim was the de-
clared lover and intended spouse Of Ame-
liza de Nordbourg, a young lady possessing
all the charms necessary for the heroine of
a modern novel, excepting that she took
delight in creating little jealousies in the
breast Of her destined husband. As the
beautiful Amelia was an only child Of a
widowed mother, a female cousin, possess
ing but few personal charms, and still less
fortune, had been brought up with her from
infancy as a companion, and as a stimulus
to her education. The amiable and hum
BILE Charlotte was too insignificant, to at
tract much attention in the circles in
which her gay cousin shone with so much
splendor, which gave her frequent opportu-
mites of dispensing a part of that instruc-
ton she had received, on the more hum
BILE class of her own sex. Returning from
one Of these charitable visits, and entering
the gay saloon Of her aunt, where her entry
or exit was now scarcely noticed, she
found the party amused in selecting flow
ers, whilst the. Count and the other beaux
were to make verses on the choice of each
of the ladies'. Charlotte was desired to
make her selection of flower; the spright-
ly Amelia had taken q rose; others a car
nation, a lily, or the flowers most likely to
call forth a compliment and the delicate
idea Of Charlotte in selecting the most
humble flower, by placing a sprig Of Mig
nonette in her bosom, would probably have
passed ~unnoticed, had not the Irritation Of
her gay cousin with a dashing Colonel, who
was more celebrated for his c~onquests in
the drawing-room, than in the field Of bat
tie, attracted the notice of the Count so as
to make his uneasiness visible, which the
amiable Charlotte, who, ever studious
of Amelia's real happiness, wished to a.
muse, and to call back the mind of her
cousin, demanded the verse for the rose.
The Count saw this affectionate trait in
Charlotte's conduct, took out his pencil,
and wrote for the rose,
Ellie ne Wit qu'un jour, ct ne plat qu'un moment;
which he gave to the lovely daughter, at
the same time presenting the humble cous-
III WIN lhiS iihe vi thc niiSLiohelto
Ses qualities suspassent sss charmes.
"Amelia's pride was reused, and she re-
taliated by her attention to the Colonel and
neglect of the Count, which she carried so
far as to throw herself into the power of a
profigate, who brought her to ruin. The
Count transferred his affections from beau
ty to amiability f; and rejoicing in the ex-
change, and to commemorate the event
which had brought about his happines, and
delivered him from a coquette, he added a
branch of the Sweet Resede to the ancient
arms of his family, with the motto,
"Your qualities surpass your charms"

umph. With them it is the heart, and not
the mind that must be satisfied. Hence
the mystery, the silence, the apparent dull
ness, which generally attend Italian court
ships. A stranger would hardly suppose
in seeing two persons of different sexes, sit
ting apart in company, seldom uttering a
word to one another, hardly looking to-
wards each other, at least apparently
hardly would a stranger suppose that those
two are the warmest and most passionate of
lovers. Although seemingly indifferent,
they contrive to be so placed as to be con-
stantly in each others view during the
whole evening, and u glance, a slight mo-
ton, supply with them the place of the
most expressive word Of affection, of en-
treaty, of displeasure or threatening. The
same is often to be observed at church, in
the theatres, and at the public walks
This manGuvrc is common to noble and
plebeian, to citizen and peasant. All this
may appear dull to a foreigner, but the Ital-
ians seem determined to love for them
selves, and not for the qualification of van.

POETRY.

There is, in the efusion which follows these re-
marks, more Of good poetry than is usually found
10 the same number Of lines, and a sentiment and
moral which cannot fail to elicit the admiration Of
the reader. II was written by DR.. Leylcn, a Brit
ish surgeon, who sought for fortune in the EasIln-
dies, and who had scarcely attained the object Of
his pursuit, when he was called upon to appear be-
fore the tribunal of his Maker. Thus it is ever
with mortals ; and those who devote their lives to
the acquisition Of wealth, the moment they catch the
butterfly, are not unirequently mmoned to an
unknown world. This beautiful efiusion, was
rescued from oblivion by the Rev. Mr.. Cotton, au-
thor OF Lacon, who in transplantinS ii into his book
very apposi,ely remarks: "there is so much OF true
genius and poetic feeling efthe highest order, in the
following stanzas, that cannot withstand the temp
iation Of e~nriching my barren pages with so beauti-
ful a gem. This ode IL DR., Leyden's, in my hum
bic opinion, comes as near perfection as the sublu-
nary muse can arrive at, when assisted by a subject
that interesting, and an execution that is mastery.
It adds n deeper shade to that sympathy which such
line. must awaken, to reflect that the spirit that die
tated them has icd."

Where loves Of youth and friendships smird,
Uncur.ed by thee, vile yellow slave!

The porish'd bliss OF youths first prime,
That once so bright on fancy play'd,
REEVES no more in after-time.
Far from my sacred natal cline,
I haste TO an untlmely grave;
The daring thoughts that scared sublime,
Are sunk in oceans southern wave.
Slave of the mine thy yellow light
Cleans balelul as the tomb-fire drear
a gentle vision comes by night
My lonely widow'd heart to cheer!
Her eyes are dim with many a tear,
That once were guiding stars to mine;
Her fond heart throbs with many a fear A!
I cannot bear to see thee shine.
For thee, for thee, vile yellow slave,
left n heart that lov'd me true,
lcross'd the tedious ocean wave,
To roam in climes unkind and new,
The cold wind OF the stranger blew
Ch.ll on my wither'd heart the grave
Dark and untimely met my view
And all for thee, vile yellow slave!

Now that his frame the lishtning's shock.

The ARTs.--Giotto, the greatest
painter Of his age, and also a distinguish
ed architect, more fortunate than men Of
genius generally, acquired great wealth
by the exercise Of bis skill in those two
arts. His talents were displayed at a
very early age, and manifested them
selves without any previously acquired
advantages. Whilst employed in guard
ing his fathers sheep, he amused himself
in drawing on clay, Sand, or slate, the
various objects which presented them
selves to his view. One of his draw
ings of a sheep, or slate, was accidental
ly seen by Cimabue, the restorer Of
painting, and he was so astonished at the
spirit with which it was executed, that
he begged the boy Of his father, took
him to Florence, and instructed him in
the principles of his art.
Charles V. an eminent Patron Of the
fine arts, had excited the envy, and even
the remonstrance of the Mobiles, by the
many favors he had lavished upon Tit
ian, and, in particular, by his comforting
on him the Order of Santiago, at Brus-
sells. To this remonstrance the Mon.
arch made no other reply, than that he
had many Mobiles, but only one Titan

Of great learning, aud translated several
valuable works from the Greek and A.
