Initiation of a Nun.

THE solemn scene of the profession of a nun
in Rasse IS thus described in a letter from a
Baltlmorean in the Eternal City, which We find
in the Baltimore American:
"At the appointed hour | attended at the
church, and was surprised at the small number
the exciting scene mad assembled. Various
we're the stores of the past life and fortune of
the faiS being who was ths day to take the
veil, which were tcad IN whispers by those as
sembled. All, however, accorded that hers had
been a life marked by events SO full of sorrow
that her history was not listened to without
deep emotion. By his own hand, or by casu-
a!ity, he passed away, and she, weary of life
uhich he could not share, now sought shelter
ia a.sanctuary, where, if sorrow be not assua-
eed. ia tears are hidden. All awaited the mo-
1sent of her entrance with anxious impatence;
every eve was directed towards her with an ex-
preston of the deepest interest. Splendidly
adorned and attended by the Princess Rarbeo-
mi, she slowly advanced to the seat assigned
her near the altar. Her fine form rose above
the middle stature; gentle bend marked hel
contour, and her full black eyes, which were
occasionally in pious awe raised to heaven, and
her long dark eyelashes gave life to counte-
nance on which resignation seemed portrayed.
The places allotted to US as strangers, whom
the Italians never faa to distinguish by the
most courteous manners, were such as not onl!

DiED.-In this Village on the 9Th inst, Mrs
LUCY LEE, consort of Col. Otis Lee.
In the constitutional temperament of Mrs,
Lee, there was something singular; and to this
perhaps is to be attributed the popularity Of
frame exhibited during her proiracted illness.
She was devotedly attached to friends, and tho
an exemplary member of the Church of God
asnd AS SUCH looking for a better inheritance
yet coG1d she not endure the thought of disso-
luton; and till very near her end, would no,
allow those about her to speak of death. A
few days before her exit, she told her husband
alt had been great struggle, but she had Civ
en- up her friends, and death had lost its terrors
She could see her whole life before her, and
though marked with many dark spots, God had
wiped them all away and accepted her for the
sake of her Redeemer." Her funeral was at
tended on Saturday by a numerous assembly
erincing their regard for the family An ap

INDIVIDUAL ECCENTRICITIES.

It is related of Swift, that hewas a rigid dis
ciplinarian as we'll as an efectual tantallzer.
A specimen oil both these attributes of charac-
ter represented to the mind in familiar anec-
dote. There was one annoyance which afiec-
ted him sensibly-the leaving open of DOORS
He always insisted upon their being shut on en-
tering nd.leeviggzaroomwhere he was, though
the visitant should intend to remain only thro'
the rapidly passing interval Of one second. One
day, favorite maid servant of Swift's asked
PERMISSION to 60 to a sisters wedding, abod.
ten miles from Dublin. Her master not only
consented, but said he would Ter her unr.0flhis
own horses, with a servant to ride before her,
and gave directions accordingly The maid,
lin her joy r this favor, forgot TO shut thesaoor
when she left the room. In abouta oguaHter OF
an hour after she was gone, the dean orUeFed a
servant to saddle another horse, and make all
speed he could to overtake them, and obhge
them to return back Immediately. They had
not got more than half way, when he came up
to them, and told them the deans positive COM
mands; with which, however reluctantly, the
poor girl was obliged to comply. She came
intohis presence with the most mortified coun-
teuBuce, mnd beggedto know his honOr's COM
mands. ''Only to shut the dOrstfser you," we.
the reply.
This reminds us an anecdOte oil that weir
known wit, but every eccentric character. the
Rev. DR.. Byles, who, during the revolutionary
struggle, being dismissed from his church, and
having no income from his estate, was obliged
to contend with the ills of poverty. His amia-
bic daughters, whom some Of our readers will
remember as the Misses Mary and Catherine
Byles, (long residents ina dila pidated house in
Common street, supported their father by then
needle, and in the cold season were in the habit
of retiring to bed at an early hour, to save fuel
first seeing that their venerable parent was
made comfortable for the night. He slept in
an apartment under that of his daughters, and
when they were seated i'm bed, with a email
cricket before them to hold the light, in order
to finish the job of needlesvo& upon which the
bread of the ensuing day depended, they would
often be reused from this snug position by q
loud knocking against the wall of their father
room. Dutifully minding the knocking, one oil
them would repair to his apartment to inquire
what was wanted, when the answer from the
tantalizing sire would be, "Nothng, my daugh-
ter: merely wanted to ask whether you were
comfortable"
The doctor, also, when his daughters were
attired for party, had drawn on their delicate
gloves, and looked in upon him to bid adieu fol
the evening, would frequently desire then
to 90 into the cellar and bring up an armful o.
wood for his study, purposely waiting for NAL
apropos time to try their patience.

Primitive Ir0n-WOrks.

"Rode with Livinston to see the ironworks
o. the Backatlas, and found them we'll worthy
a visit. The construction and management
of the apparatus, which, as might be expected,
was Of most primative and simple order, was
as fellows. An oval hole, about six feet long
two feet deep. and two feet broad, was divided
in the centre bv clay kiln, some three feet
high. In this kiln successive lawyers Of char
coal and iron ore (the oxyde of iron dug in the
adjacent hllls), were placed. Two men sat
in the holes, one on either side the kin, and
each held in his hand two goat skin bellows,
the MOBILES which were made of horns, and
inserted in holos at the base Of the kiln. BY
means of these continuous blast was kept up.
The bellows were merely ieathern bags, made
to open and close at their mouths by two par
allel bits of stick, like the mouth OF carpet

public view for these works are kept secret
from all but the initiated, and the forging arr
is confined to certain families; even Moselell,
their king, has been refused an insight into
them. White men are supposed already TO
understand the art, and, when attended by a
missionary, are readily admitted. -Four parts
of the ore, at least, are wasted in the ashi the
remainder, consisting of pure mctal,is wrought
into form with stone hammers and anvils. Tn

in the art.
"Tne smiths are very supersttious, aid use
many herbs as charms, or medicine for the iron

this process, the original discovery that the ore
could, by the medium of fire, be made available
to the service of man, is singu lar amongst men
living SO entirely in state of nature. Hoes

than few pounds of iron, and it is only during

at the junction of the ingeous and aqueous
rocks."-.Nethuen's South africa.

0FThe correspondent of the Boston Couri CT
writing from Ogdensburg relates the following
anecdote:
learned thatyes.erday,' clergyman, as HE
protested TO be, and undoubtedly was, passed
down the river inthe ,steamer, and the subject
ofronversation being thi same Mexican war,
he expressed hope that every american now
in Mexico would be Eieaor die Of disease; Iiiis
detestation of war iin'general, land of,the Mexi-
can war in particular, was such that he was
fool enough to let out his party'feelings on the
subject, to party of Englishmen. On of the
persons present asked him if he protested to be
an American, and entertained such hatred to his
own countrymen. He said yes. Then, said
his introgator, ifyou have not deco ncy enough
to keep such thoughts to yourself lin The pres
ence of Strangers, and particularly of people
who belong to, and hold allegiance to another
country, you are neither worthy of the name
of Amer lean, nor fit to associate with English
men. From that time forth the fellow held
his peace, as no one would have anv commu-
nication with him. He was despised by all the
passengers on board the boat.
