The low-roofed cottage, with its many-pointed gables and narrow casement, was gay with the bright flowers of that home of their hearts cherished and guarded there with the tenderest care all hues of earth seemed blended in the bright parterre of tulips, over which the magnificent dahlia towered, tall and stately as a queen the rich scent of the wallflower breathed around, and the jessamine went climbing freely o'er the trellissed porch and arching eaves each flower around my home bore to me the face of a friend they bore to me the poetry of the earth, as the stars tell the sweet harmonies of heaven but there is a vision of fairer beauty than either star or flower comes with the thought of these bye-gone days the face of my orphan cousin Ella Werner arises in the brightness of its young beauty, as it used to beam upon me from the latticed window of my home: for her's, indeed,

Among fig trees and pomegranates, and so leaving the garden, along the dry slippery grass, towards the hoarse rushing river, both silent till they reached it. There is a silence that is golden.

Feeble gleams of encrimsoned light made their way through the trellissed panes, and served to render sufficiently distinct the more prominent objects around; the eye, however, struggled in vain to reach the remoter angles of the chamber, or the recesses of the vaulted and fretted ceiling. Dark draperies hung upon the walls. The general furniture was profuse, comfortless, antique, and tattered.

The magnificence of this view of the Campagna excited, in his imagination, an agitated train of reflections that partook more of the nature of feeling than of thought. He looked for a spot to rest on, that he might contemplate at leisure a scene at once so noble and so interesting; and, near a pile of ruins fringed and trellissed with ivy, he saw a stone that appeared to be part of a column.
