MISCELLANY
From the New- ' ork Atlas

There is q strange relish in the hu- man mind for scenes and narratives that harrow up the soul. Poetry has noted the paradoxical feeling of the sjoy ol griet,' and common observation may assure Us that there is mood of the mind not improperly expressed as the pleasure of pain. Mankind, and espe- ciaily the gentle sex, have their com passion and kindly feelings generally excited by the fate of the condemned criminal, yet more than half their num- Der, and females certainly in not the least proportion, will voluntarily attend the rcvolting spectacle of public exc cation, and gut their eyes with the a. gonies of the dying. By kindred sen tlment, the more refined and higher classes of society, whom association and habits of life withdraw from these scenes, will feast their hearts with the narratives ofsuch transactions; and will dwell with intense earEestness on the page which describes the worst passions Ot tuC oOdI. ciN ttfC itOol SfaSl LOFJlIGS that the malignity of man or the direst calamites have ever inflicted on the lucllless victims.
 We do not attempt to explain or ac- count for this remarkable trait in the disposition of mankind, but it's existence is iadisputable; and although the very &let that ideal horrors are so often de- picted glowing colors by ymasterminds, Is sufficiently indicative of the truth, a more conclusive evidence will perhaps be found in the unquestionable position that we shall ensure the universal peru sal of the tale subjoined, by introducing 1t, as it well deserves to be character ized, as one of the most horrible ana .Tightfal tragedies haat zDas eper related.
 1t comes from the pen of the author of the articles entitled ( First & Last, given in the former numbers of the At

THE IRON STROUD:
OR ITALIAN VENGEANCE.

The castle of the Prince of Toh was built on the summit of the towering and precipitous rock of Sylla, and command ed magnificent view of Sicily in all its grandeur; and here, in dungeon, excavated deep in the solid rock, the miserable victim was immured, whom acVcnge pursued-the dark, fierce, and unpitying revenge of an Italian heart.
 Vlvensio-the nobleand the generous, the fearless in battle, and the pride of Naples in her sunny hours of peace the young, the brave, the proud, Viven- zio, fell beneath this subtle and remorse- less spirit. He was the prisoner of Tolf, and he languished in that rock-encir- csed dungeon, which stood alone, and whose portals never opened twice upon a living captive.
 It had the semblance of a vast cage, for the roof and floor, and sides, were of iron, solidly wrought, and spaciously constructed. High above there ran a rangc of seven grated windows guard ed with massy bars of the same metal. which admitted light and air. Save these, and the tall folding doors be- heath them, which occupied the centre, no chink, no chasm, or projection, broke the smooth black surface of the walls. ar iron bedstead with straw, stood in one corner; and beside it, vessel with water, and coarse dish filled with coarser food.
 Even the intrepid soul of Vivenzio snrank with dismay as he entered this abode, and heard the pondrous doors 'flple-locked by the silent rufians who conducted him to it.. Their silence seemed prophetic of h:>- late--of the
