LETTER FROM EUROPE.
ROME, April 5, Il

ROME, April 5, 1887.
The more see Of the Italians the more |
am convinced Of their capacities they have
talent certainly. In many Of the arts, such
as sculpture, painting, engraving, &C., they
unquesionably excel No country has pro-
duced better poets or historians Their eli
mate is almost without exception good. The
soil of their country is also generally good
al least to a great extent 1t IS SO. Their an
ccstors, for ages, ruled the whole world; why
then are they so fallen? 1t is, | conceive.
solely because they are prey, on the one
hand, to a most degrading and intolcrant s,-
pcrs,ition, and on the other, TO political 60
vernments which are cmincntly inefficient, at
least for good purposes. With good govern.
ments. and the wholesome and wide spread
influence Of the simple gospel, this people
would soon become great again But now
their state is deplorablc enough. Their en-
orgies are crampcd by a religion OF ignorance
and bigo,ry, as well as by the tyranny OF their
rulers am happy to believe that bad as
the state Of things is, there are some feeble
rays of hope In some Of the states, such
as Lucca, Tuscany, and even Naples, there
arc.somc symptoms Of life,-somc desire Tor
reform, both in church and state.
Upon the whole, have come to the con-
clusion that the Meocracy of the kingdom OF
Rome, is the worst government in Europe.
The Roman and papal kingdom has about
2,sO0,O0 inhabitants. The government IS
orcrmhcimcd ruth debt; crcry spec.es q m
dustry IS suffering paralysis. Nothing IS
done for the benefit of the people the mass
Of the lower classes remain uncduca,cd. nc
government does nothing for the instruction
Of the common people. The boarding or
higher schools are in the hands OF Jesnits, 10
great extent, who are the iavorl'c order with
the proscn, pope. They are getting every
thing into their hands Even the Propagan-
da is now in their hands and they arc trying
to get the English college in this city, as they
have already done with the Scotch and IRISH
colleges, into their possession.
There is no want Of priests and nuns 'n me
Roman state, but they arc generally too indo-
lent to teach school, and to educate the poor
rs their brethren and sisters are SO ready 70
do in the United States And It IS my can

cceds upon the condition precedent which has

that it may be used in the business Of the

THE BRIDES LAMENT.

Oh chide me not nor bid me smile
And wear-a gladstone brow
Nav, dearest, let me weep awhile,
NV thoughts are lonely now:
| cannot leave, without tear,
The home where girlhood's days passed DER
That ever, ever will be dear,
Though it be mine no more.
The dark green wood, where Of I've played,
Through many summer hour,
The shadowy walks where we have strayed-
And my own much-oved bower:
That verdant bower, where | have sought
The brightest flowers to bring,
And round it long my hand has taught
The dropping vine to cling.
But oh, the friends that must eavc!
The faithful and the deari-
Tis this that make my spirit grieve
And promps the bitter tear:
A mothers watchful tenderness,
fathers care are DER;
And my dear sisters fond caress,
shall not meet II more!
NV sister-we have fondly grown
Like flowers upon one bough;
Our hopes, our fears, our joys were one
Were ever one till now.
Oil deep the woman's love must be
Ave, dearest-fervent, strong and deep,
That bids me leave them all for thee,
Still gladly-though | weep.
All! when to heaven the morning prayer
And evening hymn we raise.
My voice no more will mngle there
In the sweet notes of praise.
Sadly the little flock will bend
One less before their Fathers throne,
And often will their prayers ascend
For the dear lamb that's gone.
How can leave my early home
And the dear jewellers here
These wales, where | no more may roam,
Without parting tear?
Then chide me not, for pain and bliss
Commingcd, bid these drops TO flow
grieve, to leave a home like this
/ Joy, with thee to go.
