L'orage peut briser en un moment les flours qui ticnnnnt encore la tSte levee." Mad. fe Stad.ADVERTISEMENT." In the reign of Otho III. Emperor of Germany, the Romans, excited by their Consul, Crescentius, who ardently desired to restore the ancient glory of the republic, made a bold attempt to shake off the Saxon yoke, and the authority of the Popes, whose vices rendered them objects of universal contempt. The Consul was besieged by Otho in the Mole of Hadrian, which, long afterwards, continued to be called the Tower of Crescentius. Otho, after many unavailing attacks upon this fortress, at last entered into negotiations; and pledging his imperial word to respect the life of Crescentius, and the rights of the Roman citizens, the unfortunate leader was betrayed into his power, and immediately beheaded, with many of his partisans. Stephania, his widow, concealing her affliction and her resentment for the insults to which she had been exposed, secretly resolved to revenge her husband and herself. On the return of Otho from a pilgrimage to Mount Gargana, which perhaps a feeling of remorse had induced him to undertake, she found means to be introduced to him, and to gain his confidence; and a poison administered by her was soon afterwards the cause of his painful death."—See Sismondi, History of the Italian Republics, vol. i.Vol. II. 7 WPART I.'midst Tivoli's luxuriant glades, Bright-foaming falls, and olive shades, Where dwelt, in days departed long, The sons of battle and of song, No tree, no shrub its foliage rears, But o'er the wrecks of other years, Temples and domes, which long have been The soil of that enchanted scene.

Icli habe genossen das irdische Gluck, Ich habe gelebt und geliebet. Wallenstein.The woods -- oh! solemn are the boundless woodsOf the great Western World, when day declines, And louder sounds the roll of distant floods,More deep the rustling of the ancient pines; When dimness gathers on the stilly air,And mystery seems o'er every leaf to brood, Awful it is for human heart to bearThe might and burden of the solitude ! Founded on incidents related in an American work, " Sketches of Connecticut."Yet, in that hour, midst those green wastes, theresateOne young and fair ; and oh ! how desolate !
