the pleasure they were now enjoying. Without

ture to say that the gardens were laid out with
great deal OF taste, and shorded one Of the most
delightful promensdes that have ever seen The
people behaved with the greatest propriety-
neither here nor in tho museums, whero they
were to be found in tbropgs, did | witness tho

over the site of the old Roman Forum, with tho
hope of adding TO the relics Of ancient Art already
discovered, and Of determining localities which
have been subjects OF discussion among antigua
risns for many years. Employment Is thus M
forded TO a large number Of people who gain their
bread by honest labor instead Of annoying tbs
pauer.by with solicitations Those who fsel any
interest in the slocidstion OF mooted points In
ancient history will approve the good taste Of the
Authorities. One who comes 10 Rome Tor the ffst
time is sstorished 10 see the amount OF dt6r,s
which has accumulated upon the surfaoc covering
many ancient monuments and eoncealing oil that
werc not elevated above the soil He looks down
upon the pedestsls Of columns, descends into ex
cavations TO enter temples aod churches. and hnds
himself almost on a level with the top OF soms
triumphsl arch. It would almost seem as II Ma
ture had cast thick covering over the spotS which
witnessed the glory Of ancient Rome, that they
might no. be profsned by the degradation Of tho
fallen city. Let Us hope that as the Roman Forum
is sdsencumbered Of the load hssped upon IL In the
Dark Ages, the Roman people may cast OF the
burden which the ignorance and superstition of
tnat period has left upon their shoulders.
