all, glimpses OF better world, and opens Dy
the wayside fountains Of hope and gladness
to refresh them during their weary pilgrim
age towards heaven.
On awakening in the morning | experienced
all the delicious effects of sleeping on the
submits of mountains. On throwing open
the easement, which the chambermaid, un-
known to me, had closed in the eling,
felt the in-rushing of the cool air inexpressi-
bly, exhilerating. 1t was laden, also, with
the sound of distant bells, which seemed to
say, like the muezzin's voice from the nina
ret Arise, ye faithfts, and pray, prayer is
better than sleepl' And this, surely is the
conviction Of universal humanity. The old
est of the Greek poets represents prayer as so
many daughters OF heaven, destined to move
over the earth in the wake of crime obliter-
ating its footsteps as they go. All nations,
in all ages, feeling their dependence on some
unseen power, have dropped upou their knees
instinctvely, and turned up their faces to-
wards heaven, in the hope of catching bles-
sing from thence. And never is human
nature so grand or beautiful as in this atti-
tude, which links, as it were, the two worlds
together, brings down heaven to earth, or
| lifts up earth to heaven, fuses spirit and mat
ter, and makes an imperfect material crea-
ture Git companion for seraphs
At the door Of the breakfast parlor met
Carlotta.
"Do you go to mass to-day :" inquired she.
81 go to church." was my reply.
And afterwards, /" exclaimed the captain,
who was just then descending the stairs, "
trust we shall all go out into the woods, to
enjoy one of the loveiest walks in Christen-
dom"
"With all my heart" exclaimed Carlotta.
q love walking in woods, it is so refreshing
to the spirit"
know not how it was, but after breakfast,
instead of accompanying earlotta to mass, J
went out with the Dalmatian and the Milanese
for walk. While the church bells were
going busily, we went up one street and
down another, talking laughing and enjoy
| ing the cheerful sunshine. The church
goers in that secluded village were not numer-
Gus, though they probably included all the
inhabitants, old and young, who proceeded

years old, by her hand. When we had ap
