some works which are very good and others which
are very poor. AS Wa have before stated, from Italy
we had right to expect something from her great
artists which would remind us Of the days Of
Raphael and Corriggio Nothing Of the kind has
been exhibited. Among the paintings displayed
there are two which have the reputation Of being
from the brush Of the great masters but only one of
these sustans this reputation by its merits These
two paintings are Guido's !" st. Cecilia " and tire
Triumph of Bacchus," said to be by Rubens If the
latter Of these is really original by Rubens then
critics have greatly overrated the powers of this
artist There is nothing about it Indicative of supe-
ricrty, but some Of its figures are ill conceived and
delineated

FRENCH DEPARTMENT.
BRONZE GOODS.

There are on exhibition in the French department
some very beautiful specimens of bronze goods, in
the shape Of clocks, candelabra, &c., for the mantel
or the table The French display great taste in the
manufactory OF these articles and of the figures
upon those alluded to are very mertorous lie Role
Brothers are the manufacturers Of these works
tribu.cd to the Crystal Palace, Of tie largest
houses in France. In the collection is great clock,
called the "Toilet Of Venus made with candlesticks
projecting from it-a very rich style of Louis XIV.
This is entirely gilt bronze and recommends itself
by its great beauty. Another clock, which is very
handsome, is called aurora" 1t is joined with
candelabra and the works of the clock are enclosed
in blue spherical case, studded with stars.
Still another clock, which Justly attracts much
attention, is set in heavy gilt case surmounted by
two figures, both reclining, and one with an open
volume reading to the other. The figures are ele-
gantly wrought, and the massive case of the clock
is very rich in its appearance.
Upon the same table with these is large chande-
lier, adorned with heavy figures dressed in full af
NOR, and wearing helmet and visor. This work is
inlaid with gold, silver, and blue enamel
Besides the few articles alluded to- there are yari
Gus others, equally rich and beautiful Additions,
we understand, are to be made to these cOntribu-
tions which will enhance the interest of the display
already made. Many these articles elegantly
gitthat numbers suppose them to be wrought gold.
No ornament can excel them for the decoration Of
paror, or for utility The chandeliers are intended
either for candles gas and some of those exhibited
have upward of fifty burners

THE LITTLE ORPHAN.
BY MRS. C. W. DENISON.

81 wish you was with your mother"
Such was the exclamation of a cross, tired
looking woman, as she snatched bit of
choice work from a little hand, and then
rudely pushing the child from her side, she
left the room.
1t was not beautiful little creature with
golden ringlets, and deep, soft blue eyes.
Neither was her complexion dazzling, nor
her cheeks round and flushed with q deep
bloom. She was only poor, plain, COM
mon-looking child, whom nobody ever call
ed sweet names, and gave loving kisses,
save the sainted mother, over whose ashes
the mould now gathered.
Quietly the child moved away, but great
sobs swelled her bosom, and she gasped
hard as if it we're misery and weariness to
breathe.
81 wish was with my mother-oh don't
| wish l was with my mother?" she said
again and again, holding her little hands
tightly clenched upon her breast; 'sif was
only up there" she sobbed, s'my head would
not beat SO, and my eyes be so red and
aching. Oh! can't God please take me up
there to heaven with my mother and Him ?"
Never was uttered more fervent PRAYER,
and-it was answered.
"Mother says if you're sick and can't do
nothing you'd better 60 to bed. She says
you must not eat any supper, because sick
folks ought not to eat nothing. She says it
is light enough to 60 without candle"
Upon receiving this message, the orphan
Margaret groped her way through the
long dark passage, and entering small and
poor room, threw herself upon the bed.
Her strength was exhausted by the
heavy tasks that had been imposed on her
during the day; and her head ached so
violently that it seemed to her it shook
with pain.
She had almost sobbed herself to sleep,
when little figure stole in, having in one
hand a slice of nicely buttered bread, and in
the other feeble light.
s'Margy," it said; "Margy, Ann told me
that you had to 60 to bed sick, without any
supper. Amt you hungry Here's some
thing for you to eat"
Marcy sprang wildly up, her eyes glitter
ing, her form trembling, and . crimson cir
Gle on each cheek. Fever was coursing
through all her veins she was at the mo-
ment bewildered, and gazed around her 50

she added. as the child held out its little

Margy's; show queer you look"
"Aunt todd me to-nig ght," said the sick
child, "that she wished 1 was with my
mother; then I prayed to God that he
would take me to heaven-aud think he
will-to-night may be-"
''Oh Margy!' exclaimed Ella, bursting
into tears, "I'm real sorry struck you
yesterday, and we've all been cross to you.
l heard mother say it, and l saw her push
you, and it made me feel bad about my
heart-oh! Marcy, don't say you're going
to die, and we'll all be better; don't die
Marcy"
''Aunt didn't mean to be cross-or say
what made me feel so bad, know" said
Marcy in weak voice 81 don't feel at all
bad about it now, though think my heart
almost broke then And you was so kind
to think Of me, too, dear Ella; I'll tell of
it, be sure-in heaven, and God will bless
you, know He will And now you're cold
and shivering, while Pm-oh all burning
up. You must 60 to the fire again, only
help me sndress, because maybe aunt won't
like it if L sleep in these clothes. Good
night-stop, kiss me, Ella: maybe I'll never
kiss You again"
Ella stopped down, and impulsvey flung
her arm around Margy's neck 1t felt very
hot; so did her lips and breath; but when
the child told in the warm kitchen that
Marcy thought she should die that night,
her mother laughed derisively, saying that
the child must be broken of such nervous no.

have made something of her-but sister,
with her refined notions had utterly ruined
her; adding, 81 rather think she'll come in
to breakfast in the morning; We shan't
save any on her dying this year"
Slowly the sad hours crept along, and II
o'clock had long ago struck from the time
piece in the corner, when Macy again
sprang out of trsubled sleep The moon
shone in full and white its light struck
out all the the little objects of interest from
the dark wall-her mothers furniture-a
dingy portrait and high chair with white
sheet thrown ever it. She was now in a
high fever, and on the very verge Of de-
lirium. She threw aside the coverlid that
almost scorched her, and the keen night air
reemed grateful to her.
She had walked from dream-a beauti
full dream Of heaven, the angels, and her
mother. She had heard silvery accents
sweetly singing out from Some beautiful
golden arch-"Come, Marcy, come where
your mother is"
"And where is my mother" she thought.
closing her eyes for q moment, "she called
me; surely heard her, saw her. Where
shall l 60? To that cold dreary church
