SCENE AT NAPLES.

AS was one morning passing through
popular street, perceived crowd of peo-
pie assembled before the stall of shoe
maker, round a woman lying on the ground.
1t being custom with me of neglecting
no opportunity of watching the people, |
pushed through towards the place, where
lay woman dying. At the same time
heard from the lips of many by-standers
the words, (which chilled my blood, "She
is dying ofhungcr." The sight of the suf-
fering creature confirmed this but too pow
erfu!ly. She was scarcely covered with
rags, and appeared miserable skeleton of
about thirty or forty. She lay on the pave
ment, close by the shoemaker's stall and
by her side stood straw-bottom chair.
which lad been pushed towards her. That
she was in the agonies of death, was evi.
dent. No one passed without standing a
moment to survey the hideous spectacle
but all went on again as soon as they had
satisfied their curiosity, without attempting
to assist her. l had pushed through the
crowd, till was the nearest to her. With
my purse in my hand, prayed, for Gods
sake, called on the Holy Virgin, that
some one would have mercy on her but
in vain In the open stall were a master
and two journeymen offered them all
l had by me, if they would take the woman
IN, and lay her on the bed but to no pur-
pose. One of the men actually laughed
probably at my bad Italian. 1t is some
consolation to me to think that the dying
person understood my motions, if not my
words for her look rested on me, and 1
was the last object on which her closing
eye was fixed. Upon that, she Immediate
ly died
Twas still not disposed to believe it
retained the hope Of being able to save her,
and therefore continued to keep my post
near her but a person, probably ply
sician, passing by, took hold Of her hand,
and feeling her pulse, pronounced with
great composure, She is dead" and went
on. also now stepped back to a little
distance, but did not leave the street, that l
might witness the end of this scene. The
corpse lay a quarter Of an hour in the
street, stared at by thousands till at length
some shbirri came and dragged it away.

From the French Of Madame DE Genlis.
THE GREEN PETTICOAT,

A GERMAN ANECDOTE FOUNDED ON FACT.
Valcour young man highly distinguish
ed for his understanding and probity, trav-
elled towards the north, in the autumn of
1859, rested short time at Breslaw. Be-
ing furnished with recommendations to
rich merchant in the town, named VI olton, he
waited on that gentleman and presented him
his letters. M. Molten was about forty-two
years of age; and joined, to much natural
sense, agreat degree of originality of char
acter; possessing, with extreme good ma
ture, feeling and generous soul. In the
course Of his life he had met with many
knaves and fools; he had, also, met with
many who were as much the reverse and
though, in general, he was sceptic, yet he
was not misanthrope-he believed in the
existence ofvlrtue. His aversion for every
kind of affectation, had such an effect on his
manner, as at first sight to repel and dis
gust. His air was freezing; his tone severe;
and, not unfrequently, even rude. Being
naturally man of observation, he was Of
opinion that, in general, those were to be
distrusted whose manners were affected, and
who make parade of their feelings; and,
being studious Of stunning every thing
which bore the smallest semblance of false
hood and exaggeration, he usually fell into
the contrary extreme often wanting COM
mon politeness, and his openness sometimes
degenerating into rudeness.
The figure of Valcour, and certain pale
ness of countenance, joined with softness
of features, interested Molten, at once, in
his favor. "When my friend gave you this
letter." said he to Valcour, /" did he COM
municate to you its contentsi" "No Sir;"
answered Valcour, who thought it rather an
odd question:: al have not read it. II was
sent to me, sealed, as you sec it, and at the
moment of my departure; but may presume
to inquire, if it contains any thing that need
surprise you~ "Not at all: it was mere Gu
riosity. Do you intend remaining any time
at Breslaw" "About week." siMy friend
informs me you are travelling for your
health" "I do; il is not such as wish"
"Do you labor under any particular dis
ease" Z" Nothing very particular; some
headaches"
Valcour, weary Of these interrogatories,
uttered this last reply with tone of impa-
tience which excessively pleased Molten;
who was highly delighted with the silence
he preserved as to his grief for the loss of a

THE LOVERS REPLY,

Thou bright cue let thy lover calm
The breast that h, sves such throbbing sighs,
And still those quiyering lips, whose balm
Is like the breath of Paradise.
For, by thy token.nower, that brought
The seal thy crimson lips impress'd,-
BY these thin leaves, with sweetness fraught,
Like shrines where spik enard blossoms rest -
BY thy pure eyes, whose diamond glow
Steals through their ashes timdly;
By thy dark locks, that loosely flow,
in glossy curls, luxuriantly -
And by that bosom's snowy light,
Which meath the veil swells half-conceald,-
As of through clouds Of aeecy white
A heaven of beauty is sreveard -
BY these and by my blade, swear,
That little blue-vein'd foot Of thine,
shall never tread the soft couch, where
The siIken tents Of Iran shine.
But thou thy Ko.ru's bride shalt be-.
And seek, with him, rich Cashmir's vale;

THE MAIDEN TO HER LOVER,

Before the winning breeze could steal
Morn's sprinked pearl-drops from this rose,
Guild it, that il nigh reveal
The tale my lips dare not disclose.
It's leaves of virgin tenderness,
Where have pressd a kiss for thee
Its blush OF maiden bashfulness,-
Both tell oflove and secrecy.
For they are bound by flowing curls,
And told me, that ere ewes mild hour,
They II deck me with their gems and pearls,
To shine the queen ofIran's bower.
Blu, will toll and tempest brave,
And roam the desert at Thy side,
AMI kiss thy feet, and live thy slave,
Rather than be proud Trans bride.

POETRY.
FOR THE LITERARY CADET.


FOR THE LITERARY CADET.
Mr.. EDrroR-l observed, in the caption 10 apiece
ofpoetry (f it deserves that tite) which sent you
and which was published in your last paper-frst
that you rather doubted ts originality. and second
that, lift uas original, you desired an interview
with the author" shall observe to the first count
that it was original, the bona de production of my
own brain--but still might have unconsciousl,
stumbled on the ideas or expressions of som,
other poet-if so. it mus, only be considered a
another singular coincidence" To the secont
count, must say, that, ior the present. shall de
cline an interview. Accept my thanks, however
for the handsome manner in which you noticed tho
piece in question. 1t was the second piece have
had the confidence 10 show to second person
and it was received in manner far beyond my mos
sangune expectations. What little time have tc
spend in such pursuits shall be devoted to your pa
per. Yours respectfully, l..
Awake-awake ye son. of Greece!
Why do you linger here,
While Turkish plumes wave in the breeze,
And danger hsvers near?
Oh see ye not the Turkish band,
With banners waving high,
Fierce tramplipg on your native land,
With proud and scornful eye?
And hcarken hear their bugle notes
Shrill sounding from afar;
While on the gentle breeze there floats
The stormy hum ofw
And see ! the sunbeams glitter on
Their helmet, spear, and lance,
While Turkish fields are trodden down
BY the proud war.horse prance.
Say, shul the fierce Mahommeds hordes
Rule DER this land of ours.
Shall Turkish plumes and Turkish swords
Wave on our ancient towers?
No rather let us steep the ground
With floods of Grecisn gore
And see, from many patriots wound
The crimson fe-blood pour.
Oh, rouse ye then behold the foe
Advance in sullen scorn-
And manly breasts shall cease to glow,
Fair, youthful forms be laid full low,
And maiden's tears in anguish flow,
Ere wakes another morn
Thus spake the youth, when forward sprung
Each Greek with patriot zeal;
And mountain hill, and valley rung
With the shrill bugles peal.
The strife i. DER the setting sun
Cleans bloody field,
Where many Grecian youth has fell,
Whose breast had scorned 10 yield.
There lies the naughty Ottoman,
The pride of Sutans' halls
Deaths on him now how fercely stare
HIS CLASSY, fx'd eye-balls
There lie the brave devoted Greeks
Who met The shock of war
Their headess truoks are trampled on
By Ais conquerine car.
The crescent trumphed DER the cross
Mahommed's banners wave
Above the Grecian battlements,
Which valour couldnot save.

Thy strains shall listless Time beguile ;

The adjoining stanzas TO HOPE, are copied from
the New-York Mirror. They are from the pen Of
Mrs. Muzzy, formerly Miss Geoaroy, of this town.
Mrs. Muzzy has been a regular contributor TO the
Mirror, since its establishment, and the Editor thus
prefaces the following lines.
"During the last three years the columns of the
Mirror have been frequently enriched by communi-
cations from the fair author of the following exquis
tie production and we cannot let this opportunity
pass thout paying the tribute of our admiration to
her genius, and rendering our sincere acknowledg-
ments for her liberal donations"

Twas lovely as the splendid bow
That spands the vault ofheaven!
Twas idle as the pageant show
For infant pastime given.
Twas like the ruby cloud, which shows
At sunset, passing fair

IT'S only formd ofair.
Twas like the echoes, which repeat
A sad, or cheerful tone
The words which thus the ear can cheat
Are mocking Of our own!
Twas like the moons ray on the stream
Reflected, bright and clear
The infants hand would grasp the beam
But there is nothing there
Twas like the whispers of the air,
Or forms in dreams we see
'Twas like whate'er is passing fair,
Yet only seems to be.
