She then extended her hand, which the young man took, but she withdrew it di- rectly, leaving a piece of paper in his hand. At the-same moment she closed the carriage door and drove eff. The paper was bank note! The young man, who was gentleman, was covered with confu- sion at the idea of his devotedness being recompensed with money. But he i1nme- dlately went into ccfs, and finding the address of the Duchess in fashionable di- rectory. wrapped up her note in one of & larger amount, and with his card sent both to her.

BYRON'S MAID OF ATHENS.

In speaking of Athens, perhaps I ought not to omit the Maid of Athens, immortal ized by Byron-now Mrs. Black, of the Peiraus The maiden name of this lady was Theresa Moria. She was one of three sistels, all of whom were great beauties in their day. One of them Is the wife of Mr. Pittakys the we'll known Superintendent of Antiquities of Athens. The third I be- lieve is not living. Lord Byron lines were written in lSlO-forty years ago-and for ty years ago make considerable difference In the appearance of both man and woman; so that the language of the noble poet can not be expected to apply ill all respects at the present day. It is a common thing for travellers in Greece to call upon Mrs. Black with no other introduction than Zoe zaou sas Ggapo. Not thinking this accidental celebrity any ground for so impertinent proceeding, 1t was long time before had the pleasure of meeting this lady, as she lives Tn the Pelreus, and now seldom makes her appearance in Athens. But was invi- ted one evening to take tea and pass the night at the house of friend in Peirseus. found 0 irving there, that the family of Mir. Black were expected and no other 1 guests.
 1 They soon coame in-Mr and Mrs. Black
 
 teen or twenty-aud I had the felicity of sitting between the old Maid of Athens and the young Maid of Athens-a highly poet ical situation, as it seemed to me, with the beauty of the past on one hand, and the beauty of the present on the other. Ger tainly Mrs. Black shows traces of the love- ness which inspired the muse of Byron; and if she did not, the magnificent beauty of the daughter IS sufficient and most satis- factory demonstration that it once existed ln the mother. Let me add, that Mrs, Black IS an excellent housekeeper, her house being one of the best ordered in all Greece. But if there is one thing in which she surpasses the rest of her sex, 1t is the art of picking olives. The first time I tasted one of her olives at the house of Q friend, could not restrain an exclamation of surprise at their delicious flavor Those olives" responded my entertainer, "were pickled by the fair hands of the Maid of Athens" A day or two afterwards receiv- ed Jar Of the fruit from the Maid of Ath- ems, which keep as precious memorial, With fragment of the Parthenon, and a cane cut from the olive grove of Plato Fehon's Lectures on Greece.

And though no mothers or fond sisters tears Will consecrate his lonely resting g-place, Yet guardian angels keep it from all harm.

BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART.-Burton's gallery, so we'll worthy at all times of the attention of our citizens, has recently had an accession Of three noticeable works of art. The first is by our townsman, MT. Gay, and 1t has been the subject of much admlratlon. It is entitled 'sBash Bish Falls, and Is painted from wild and pic-. turesque scene at Copake in Columbia county. The theme affords fine scone for the exercise of skill and power, and it's sue cesstul treatment has given great satisfac
 ton to the many friends of the artist. as marking the rapid advance he is making in his profession. An elevated plateau, break. ing oil Ill sharp, angular and deep preci- plce, bold and rugged rocks relieved here and there by tough and hardened trees, 6 stream of clear water dashing violently over the rocks and sending up it's foam until it reaches basin and flows quietly away amid more tranquil and reposeful scene such are the main points of the view. That they offer scope for varied skill will at once be seen. In the representation of the wild and crag8ed scene there is a display of bold power-unfettered, we might ai- most say, but intelligently guided in it's greatest freedom. In the masterly scene Ill the foreground there is evidence of pow CT 1n repose. The atmosphere and general tone of the picture are excellent, and it is marked by consciousness, as we'll as an exhibition Of power, which the artist has not before reched.-AbGny Erpress
