Romance at Rome.


Letters from Rome speak of an incident
that has just created no small sensation at
the Vatican. A Capuchin friar made his
appearance lately at the palace, and got
admitted to the attendants of the Pope pro-
tossing to be missionary devoted to the
conversion OF the hordes of banditti that in
fest all the States of the Church, and rem
der the neighborhood of Rome itself ex-
ceedingly dangerous. This friar made
great impression, by his fervor and deyo-
ton, on many Of the persons admitted to
the Intimacy Of his holiness, especially on
Cardinal Autonnelli. He was allowed to
place himself, with several other devotees.
In gallery through which the Pope passes
when he goes out to take an airing. He
having heard from the Cardinal a glowing
account of the jealous exploits and pro-
found humility of the friar, entered into
conversation with him about his missiona-
ry doings, commended his zeal, and bade
HIM continue his good work. This flatter-
ing reception emboldened the friar, who
took out from under his robe, quantity of
rosarles and other objects of devotion,
which he besought the Pope to bless. sta
ting that they were destined as gifts to the
brigands whom he should succeed in con-
verting from the evil of their ways. This
idea pleased the Pope, and accordingly he
blessed the rosares with great JUNCTION.
The friar, thus honored by his Holiness,
became at once the centre of a crowd of
admirers; but instead of replying to the
questions and Fluctuations addressed to him
on all sides, he folded his hands modestly
on his breast and without raising his ewes
departed in silence, and entered st. Peters.
where he was seen telling his beads with
great fervor; afterwards disappearing, no
one knew whittier. In course of a few
days, Cardinal Autonnelli received a letter.
stating that the writer had observed with
great pleasure, on his recent visit 10 the
Vatican, the honors and dignities layished
on the son of Domenico Autonnelli, fthe
father of the Cardinal was one of the most
terrible and successful of the robber chiefs,
and amassed the immense fortune of the
Autonnells by plunder,) that he was de-
lighted to find that the Pontiff held the
profession of the banditti in such high es.
TEEN; and begged the Cardinal to inform
his Holiness, that the rosaries he had
blessed were already distributed to some
scores of brave fellows, who were deter
mined to earn, in the like manner, his fa-
vor for their descendants, and who would
be enchanted to welcome him to the scenes
Of their exploits. This letter was signed
'PAssAToRE,' the name of the most re-
nowned of all the brigand chiefs!-Paris

Liking and Disliking.

BY cHAs. SWAIN.
Ye who know the reason, tell me
How it is that instinct still
Prompts the heart to like-or not like
At its own capricious will!
Tell me by what hidden magic
Our impressions first are led
Into likings-or dislikings-
Oft before word is said!
Why should smiles sometimes repel us;
Bright eyes turn our feelings cold?
What is that which comes to tell us
All that glitters is not gold.
Oh, no feature, plain or striking,
But power we cannot shun,
Prompts our liking, or disliking,
Ere acquaintance hath begun!
Is it Instructor some spirit
Which protects us, and controls
Every impulse we inherit
By some sympathy of souls!
Is it instinct is it nature!
Or some freak or fault of chance,
Which our liking, or dis.iking,
Limits to a single glance?
Like presentiment of danger,
Though the sky no shadow filings;
Or that inner sense, still stranger,
Of unseen-unutter'd things!
Is it-oh, can no one tell me
No one show sufficient cause
Why our likings-and dislikings-
Have their own instructive laws!

.aI,LI CAIL ARouNp ANn PAr. ;,

What world of wo is contained in
these few words to the poor artisan and
mechanic! "I'll call around and pay
says the rich man, to avoid the trouble of
going to his desk to get the necessary.
funds, and the poor mechanic is obliged
to go home to disappoint his workmen and
all who depend npon him for their due.
1t is an easy matter to work--the only
real glory in this life is nm independent
idea Of being able to sustain yourself by
the labor Of your own hands, and il may
easily be imagined what crushing force
there is in ssI'll call around and pay" to
the laboring man who depends upon that
pay for subsistence. If those who could
pay would only pay at once, il would place
hundreds and thousands in condition to
do likewise, and prevent much misery and
distress.

81 CAN OF course you can. You
show it in your looks, in your motion, in
your speech, in your every thing. lean!
A brave, hearty, substantial, soulful, manly,
cheering expression. There is character,
force, vigor, determination, will in it. We
like it. The words have spirit, sparkle,
pungency, flavor, geniality about them,
which takes one in the very right place.
lean! There is word Of meaning ex-
pressed, nailed down, epigramised, ram.ned
into these few letters. Whole sermons of
solid ground virtues. How we more than
admire to hear the young man speak it out
bravely, boldly, determinately; as though
it was an outstretching of his entire nature,
a reflection of his inner soul. 1t tells OF
something that is earnest, sober, serious;
of something that will battle the race, and
tumble the world in way that will open
and brigten the mems eyes.
! can! What spirit, purpose, intensity,
reality, power and praise! 1t is a strong
arm, stout heart, bold eye, and firm
port, indomitable will. We never knew
man possessed of its energy, vitality, fire
and light, that did not attain eminence Of
some sort. 1t could not be otherwise. 1t
is in the natnre, constitution, order,
necessity inevitable of events, that it
should be so. lean! Rightly, truly said,
and then clinched and riveted by the man.
ly, heroic, determined deed, is the solution,
philosophy of mems lives. They took
can for a motto, and went forth and stead
ily made themselves and the world what
they pleased.
Then, yonng man, if you would be some
thing besides common, dusty, prosy
wayfarer in life, just put these magic
words upon your lips, and their musing,
hopeful, expanding philosophy in your
hearts and arms. Do il and you are
made man.

PENNsYLvANIA's CALIFoRNIA.-A joint
committee of the Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania, says the Philadelphia Ledger, esti-
mates the value of the present annual yield
of the coal mines of Pennsylvania at $17,-
100000, and the annual product of furn-
aces, forges, and rolling mills, at not less
than $28,000,000. In about two and a
half years-the time since the discovery of
the gold mines Of California; is estima-
ted that $95, 600, 600 have been taken out,
or at the rate of s26. 100000 per annum.
The coal and iron of Pennsylvania are
therefore more productive than are Cali
fornia's riches, A 81

TALLER MEN REQUIRE MORE SLEEP.-
We are informed by Lockhart, that Sir
Walter Scott, both as a young man and in
more advanced age, required "a good al
lowance of sleep;'' and he, on pTlneiplc,
INDUCED in 1t, saying ehe was but half
man if he nad not full ssven hours of utter
uneonsciousness." We have already pre-
mised that tall and bulky people require
more sleep than short people; and Sir
Walter, besides being large-boned, was,
it may be said, tall man.

ORIGIN OF THE WoRD TARFF.-This
puzzling name is derived from the town
of Tarila, at the mouth of the Straits Of
Gibraltar. 1t was the last stronghold
which the Moors disputed with the Chris
tians; and when the former held possess
sion Of both the pillars of Hercules, it
was here that they levied contributions for
vessels entering the Mediterranean, whence
the generic name.

One day man, who had some business
with the Governor, arrived at his house on
horseback. Seeing a roughly dressed man
at work near the door, he pulled up, and
called out: 81 say, you sir, does Governor

"Very well, old fellow" said the rider dis
mounting. "you hold my horse while | go

Our Own Consequence.
BY REV. ALBERT BARNEa.

We think Of our own consequence, our
talents, our attainments. We think what
breach will be made when we die. We
think OF the mourners who will gather
around us with broken hearts. We think
OF the solemn, sad procession that will 90
with US to the tomb; forgetting how seldom
lt1s that the hearts of any considerable
proportion IN funeral procession are seri-
Gus and solemn at all, or care any thing
about the dead. We look at our own al
fairs and press them forward, as if every
thing else should give way to them, and
as if the world had no interests SO great
that they may not be required to yield 10
our convenience.
Now, how contrary all this is TO truth
and reality, it is hardly necessary TO at
tempt to show. Few will care about il a,
all when we die; and the world at large
will care nothing, and know nothing about
1t. A very little circle of friends will be
afhicted-as little circle of water is agi-
tated, when drop of rain falls into the
ocean. At the centre of that small circle
OF friends, there will be some deep emo
ton, and some tears of genuine grief will
be shed; at very little distance, the emo
ton will be fainter and feebler; at point
but a little more remote there will be none;
and soon. very soon, all the agitation there
was will have died away-as when the
little drops OF rain fall into the ocean.
The gay will laugh
When thou 2rt gone, the solemn brood of
care
Plod on, and each one as before will share
His tavorite phantOm.-BRYANT.
A few friends will go and bury US; and
then they will turn away to their own con.
Germs, forgetful that we are sleeping in the
grave. Affection will rear a stone, and
plant few flowers over our grave; but the
hand that reared the stone or planted the
flowers will soon become unable to cut the
letters deeper as they become obliterated.
or to cultivate the flowers; and in brief
period the little hillock will be smoothed
down, and the stone will fall, and neither
friend nor stranger will be concerned to
ask which one of the forgotten millions of
the earth was buried there. No "Old
Mortality" will 60 to cut again those eff
faced words which told our name, and the
time Of our birth and of our death. Every
vestige, that we ever lived upon the earth,
will have vanished away. All the little
memorials Of our remenbrance--the lock-
of hair enthased in gold, or the portrait
that hung in our dwelling, will cease 10
have the slightest value to any living be-
ing, nor will even momentary curiosity be
excited to know who wore that hair, or
whose countenance is delineated there.
