TO Mariana she Immediately asked
TO be taken TO signor Formica's the
ntre, near the Popolo gate. The
good man, surprised at this desire,
held council with doctor Pyramid
and Pilichinaccio and they decided
that Capuzzi ought to keep his word.
Tomorrow Marianna is to 90 to the
theatre Pluchinaccio is TO accom-
pany her, dressed like a duenna.'
Antonio Scacciati became more
and more surprised, and he was not
far from thinking that his friend had
dealings with the devil, to have SO
we'll informed himself Of all that
concerned Mari0nna. This is the
explanation that Salvador gave him
of this omniscience, from which no
detail escaped. In the Ripetta street
house lodged, next door TO Capuzzi,
an old friend OF Salvator's hostess.
This woman's daughter, firm friend
of Margarila's, had taken a tender
interest IN Capuzzi's poor niece, and
chance favored their secret inter
views, for Margerlta's friend had dis
covered in her chamber an opening
for ventilation, which had for d long
time been closed by thin board. -
This aperture opened into dark
closet, which belonged to Mariana 5
chamber, only separated from her
neighbours lodging 10y a simple pur-
lilion. The young girls had, IN this
manner, long aud confidential con-
versalons, during the daily siesia oI
old Capuzzi; it was from Margerlt-
as friend that Salvador had procur-
ed all the necessary information con
cerning the domestic habits Of Mari
Annals tyrant, and had learned the
projected visit to Formica's theatre
TO be continued.

What night siftings white,
Smooth as down Of feathery pillow,
Nosless drop DER oak and willow.
Soft and slow falls the snow,
Far awny as eye can follow,
Ger tall hill and sleepy hollow.
Old barn-roof stands aloof,
Glimering ever white aud whittier,
Though night has not a star to light her.
On all streams, like smooth dreams,
When they come dull cares TO Danish,
Ermine fakelets melt and vanish.
By capp'd stack, hoofed track
Marks the spot, where, cold, and colder,
Cattle browse with whitened shoulder.
Round the hearth ruddy mirth
Calls joys snowy wings to watt her,
Calls on merriment and laughter.
Bright and warm midst the storm,
A fairy fire outside the sashes
In mimic splendor sparks and flashes.
Sweet, o sweet, for friends to meet,
TO catch the play Of shiiung graces
Charactered on rosy faces.
o, the bright night Virgin white
Be all thoughts, all hopes, all fancles,
All pillow'd dreams, ell waking frances

TO The LITTLE BRASS DONKEY.
The Presiding Genius Of the Bankins Rom Of the
Bunk of Ne7r Or(eUDs

When the Bank Of New Orleans opened, the Pres
dent issued it as his dctun "that bank clerks
make errors" In consequence of this the clerks in
that Bank never make an " error : but when n slip
of the pen or defective entry is made--for no bank
clerksi the world perfect-t is called chicot ;
and in order to render the chcots few and far between
little brass image of jackass is kept in the bank
ngroom, and in the unwilling custody Of the author
OF the last chico as an emblem Of his stupidity. As
soon as new chicot is made the author has the little
animal transferred to him with due ceremony by its
previous custodian. Lattery, there have been no
ccots and the present groom Of the little donkey in
despair of getting rid of him, has grown philosophi-
CAL and finally poetical. We have gained possession
it matters not how-of the last outpouring Of his
soul, and present it to readers as an unique spe-
cimen Of banking house literature.-EDs. CREs1
