EXTRACTS FROM HAWTHORNE'S NEW WORK. ' [Published by Tickner and Field, Boston?for sale by J. C. Orr, Wheeling.] DONATELLO AND THE MARBLES. The realization of the Antique Faun, in the person of Donatello, gave a more vivid j character to all these, marble ghosts.? | Why should not each statue grow warm I with life! Antinous might lift bis brow, j nnd tell us why he is forever sad. The i Lycian Apollo might strike his lyre; and, at the first vibration, the Faun in red mar ble, who keeps up a motionless dance, should frisk gayly forth, leading youder Satyrs, with shuggy goat-shanks, to clatter j their little hoofs upon the floor, and all ' join hands with Donatello ! Bacchus, too, j a rosy flush diffusing itself over his time- ! stained surface, could come down from his 1 pedestal, nnd oiler a cluster of purple grapes to Donatcllo's lips; because the god re-| c0gni7.es him as the woodland elf who so 1 often shared his revels. And here, in this ' sarcophagus, the exquisitely carved figures I might assume life, nnd chase one another round its verge with that wild merriment which is so strangely represented on those old burial coffers; though still with some j soldo allusion to death, carefully veiled, but forever peeping forth amid emblems of ; mirth and riot. MIRIAM. THE ARTIST. Miri:;m h:ul great apparent freedom of J intercourse: her manners were so far from eviucing shyness, that it seemed easy to boconie.ncquaiiited with her, and not difli- j cult to develop a casual acquaintance into intimacy. Such, at least, was the impres- j sion which she made, upon brief contact, j but not such the ultimate conclusion of: those who really sought to know her. So | airy, free and affable was Miriam's deport- i inent towards all who came within her 1 sphere, that possibly they might never he conscious of tho fact; but so it was, that they did not get on, and were seldom any farther advanced into her good graces to- i day than yesterday. I5y some subtle qual ity, she kept people at a distance, without 1 so much as letting thorn know that they j were excluded from her inner circle. She j resembled one of those images of light j which conjurers evoke and cause to shine | before us, in apparent tangibility, only au 1 arm's length beyond our grasp: we make j a step in advance, expecting to seize the j illusion, but find it still precisely so far out of our reach. Finally society began j to recognize the impossibility of getting nearer to Miriam, and gruftly acquiesced. NEEDLE WORK. There is something extremely pleasant, I and even touching?at least, of very sweet, j soft, and winning effect?in this peculiari ty of needlework, distinguishing men from women. Our own sex is incapable of any such by-play aside from tho main business j of life: but women?be they of what earth ly rank they may, however gifted with in tellect 01* genius, or endowed with awful beauty?have always some little handi work ready to fill up the tiny gap of every ! vacant moment. A needle * is familiar to the fingers ofthem all. A queen, no doubt, plies it on occasions; the woman-poet can ' use it as adroitly as herpen; the woman's eye that has discovered a new star, turns from its glory to send the polished little instru ment gleaming along the hem of her ker chief, or to darn a casual fray in her dress. And they have the advantage of us in this respect, The slender thread of silk orcot ' ton keeps them united with the small, fa miliar, gentle interests of life, the continu j ally operating influences of which do so much for the health of the character, and : carry off what would otherwise be a dan j gerous accumulation of morbid sensibility. A vast deal of human sympathy runs along tliis electric line, stretching from the throne to the wicker chair of the humblest seam stress, and keeping high and low in a spe cies of communion with th^ir kindred be ings. Mctliinks it is n token of healthy and gentle characteristics, when women of accomplishments and high thoughts love to sew, especially as they are never more at homo with their own hearts than when so occupied. THE STUDIO. The room had the customary aspect of a painter's studio; one of those delightful spots that hardly seem to belong to the actual world, but rather to be the outward type of a poet's haunted imagination, and half-developed hints of beings and objects grander and more beautiful than , we can anywhere find in reality. The j windows were closed with shutters, or . deeply curtained, except one, which was partly open to a sunless portion of the sky, admitting only from high upward ( that partial light which with its strongly j marked contrast of shadow, is the first! requisite towards seeing objects pictoriftlly. Pencil-drawings were pinned against the wall or scattered on the tables. Unframed canvases turned their backs on the specta tor. presenting only a blank to the eye, and churlishly concealing whatever riches of scenery or human beauty Miriam's skill had depicted on the other side. niLDA. This young American girl was an ex ample of the freedom of life which it is possible for a female artist to enjoy at Rome. She dwelt in her tower, as free to descend into the corrupted atmosphere of the city beneath, as one of her companion ' doves to fly downward into the street;? all alone, perfectly independent, under her j own sole guardianship, unless watched j over by the Virgin, whose shrine she j tended: doing what she liked, without a : suspicion or a shadow upon the snowy i whiteness of her famo. The customs of artist lifo bestow such liberty i?pou ser which is elsewhere r$W*ict?d within so much narrower limits; aud it 13 pcrbaps an indication that, whenever weodmit women to a wilder scope of Vaults and Drofessions, we must also remove the shackles of our present I'ouventionat rules, which would then become sa in sufferable restraint on e.ther uuud or WjlTe. The svstetu seems to work unexceptional} in Rome; and in many other c"?es',,? ' Hilda's, purity of heart and i-.e '-n ''ow ed to asseit themselves, ?::d to JC their own proof and security, to a degree un known in the society of other cities. THE 3VLV-AS DASCE. As Miriam and Donatcllo emerged from among the trees, the 1luuiiduu1??""Ph7i tiukled, or blew, c.ieli according to bi3 various kind of instrument, more inspir in"lv than ever. A dork-cheeked little girl, with bright black eyes, stood by shaking a tambourine set round with tinkling bells, and thumping it on it=, parchment head. Without interrupting his brisk, though measured movement, Douateilo snatched away this un.?^lod'' ous contrivance, and flourishing it aboi e his bend, produced music of indescribable potency, still dancing with frisky step, and striking the tambourine, and rin?"'f '" little bells, all in one jovial act. It m.gLt be that there was magic in the sound or contagion, at least, in the spirit whichibad eot possession of Miriam and himself, for very soon a number of festal people were drawn to the spot, and struck into the dance, singly, or in pairs, ..s il they were all gone mad with .iolity. Among them were some of the plebeian damsels whom we meet bareheaded in the Roman streets, with silver stilettos thrust through their Elossv hair; the contundinas, too, from the Campngna, and the villages, with their rich and picturesque costumes of scarlet and all bright hues, snch as fairer maidens might not venture to put on. Then came tbe modern Roman from 1 rastcvere, per chance, with liU old clor.k thrown about him like a toga, which anon, as his actitc motion heated him, he flung aside. Three French soldiers capered freely lntoi,t'1.? throng, in wide scarlct trousers, their short swords dangling at their ?5?e,s' three German artists in gray flaccid lists and flaunting beards; and one of t.ie pope s Swiss guardsmen in the strange motley mirb which Michael Angelo contrived for fhein. Two young English tourists (one of them a lord) took contadnic partners j rind dashed in, as did also a shaggy man in coat-skin breeches who looked like ras c Pan in person, and footed it as merrily as he. Besides the above there was a herdsman or two from the Campagna, an. a few peasants in sky-blue jackets ami email-clothes tied with ribbons at the knees; haggard and sallow were these lust, poor serfs, having little to eat and notliii^ but the malaria to breathe; but still t.iej plucked up a momentary spirit and joined hands ill Donatcllo's dance. A BCUI.I'TOR'k studio. The studio of a sculptor is generally but a rough and dreary-looking place, uitu ? good deal the aspect, indeed, cf n stone mason's workshop. Bare floors of or plank, and plastered walls; an old chair or two, or perhaps only a block o marble ^containing, however, the possibility of ideal grace within it) to sit down upon, come hastily scrawled sketches ot nude figures on the whitewash ot the^ wall. These last are prolmbly the sculptor s cur liest glimpses of ideas that may hereafter be'solidified into imperishable stoue or V.erhaps mar remain as impalpable as a dream. Next there arc a few very roujjilv modelled little figures In clay or !j'?8U"r? exhibiting the second stage ot the ?dea as it advances toward a inarb e .mn orul^ and then is scon the exquisitely disi ned shane" of clay, more interesting than ei. cn the"linal marble, as being the intimate pro duction of the sculptor himself moulded throughout with his lo\ > nearest to his imagination and heart. 1 tlio nlaster-east, from this clay model, the beaiuv of the statue strangely disappears, to shine forth again with pure wl..? ra diance. in the precious marble of Canara. MECHANICAL skill. In Italy, there is a class of men whose merely mechanical skill is perhaps more exquisite than was possessed by the an cient artificers, who wrought out t ? d sin^ns of Praxiteles; or. very possiblj, by Praxiteles himself. Whatever ot illusive re presentation can be effected in nmrbk, they are capable of achieving, if the ob ocT be before their eyes. The sculptor ha, but to present these men with a plas ter-oast of his design, and a sufficient block of marble, and tell them that the figure is imbedded in the stone, ana na?t be freed from its encumbering superfluities, and. in due time, without the necessitj of hi a touching the work with his own finder, he will see before him the statue that is to make him renowned, llis creative powei has wrought it with a word. TIIREK AMERICAN ARTISTS. V.'c must forego the delight of illumina ting this chapter with personal all UMons to "men whose renown glows richly on canvas, or gleams in the white moonlight of marble. Otherwise, we might point to an artist who has studied nature with such tender love that she ta.tcs bim to ber in i macy, cnobling him to reproduce ber.n landscapes that seem the realit;. of a bet tcr earth, and yet are but the truth of the very scenes around ns, obsened the painters insight and interpreted[for us by his skill. By his magic, the moon th.r0 . * her light far out of the aud crimson 011 the beholders face. Oi we might indicate a poet-painter, wbo?e^sc^ has the vividness ot picture, *hos? canvas is peopled with angels. fair.es and water-sprites, done to the ethereal life, be cause he saw them face to face in bis poet ic mood. Or we might bow before an ar tist who has wrought too siocerelj, too religiously, with too earnest a 'eeling. and too delicate a touch, for the world at oikc to recognize how much toil and thought are compressed ir.to the stately brow o Prospero aud Miranda s maiden loneliness, or from what a depth within this paiuter B heart the Angel is leading torth ht. I cte . ROME AT NIGHT. Emerging from the court-yard of the : edifice, they looked upward and saw the sky full of light, which seemed to have a delicate purple or.crimson lustre, or, at least, some richer tin^e than the cold, ! white moonshiue of other skies. It gleam ed over the front of the opposite palace. ; showing the architectural ornaments of ite cornice and pillared portal, as well as the iron-barred basement windows, that gave such a prison-like aspect to the structure, and the shabbiness and squalor that luy along its base. A cobbler was just shut ting up bis little shop, in the basement of thi* palae**: a cigar vender's lantern flared in tbe blast that came through the arch way; e French sentinel paced to and fro before tbe portalj ft homeless . dog, th*t haunted thereabouts, b6rked as obstrep erously at the party as if be were the do mestic guardian of tbe precincts. The air was quietly fijil of the noise of fulling water, the cause of which was nowhere visible, though apparently near at hand. This pleasant, natural sonnd, not unlike that of a distant cascade in the forest, may be heard in many of the Roman streets and piazzas, wlieu the tumult ct the city is hushed; for consuls, emperors, and popes, the great men of every age, have found no better way of immortali zing their memories, than by the shifting, iudestructible, ever new, yet unchanging, tip-gush and downfall of water. They have written.their names in that unstable element, and proved it a more durable re cord than brass or marble. SL'iNH The Italian climate robs age of its rev erence. nnd makes it look newer than it is. Not the Colosseum, nor tho tombs of tbe Appinn Wof. nor lite oldest pillar in tuc Forum, nor any other Roman ruin, be it as dilapidated as it may, ever give tbe impres sion of venerable antiquity which we gath er, along with the ivy, from the gray walls of an English abbey or castle. And yet every brick or stone which we pick up among the former, bad fallen nges befora tbe latter was begun. This is owing to the kindliness with which nature takes an English ruin to her heart, covering it with ivy, ns tenderly as Robin Redbreast cover ed the babes with forest leaves. She strives to make it a part of herself, gradu ally obliterating the handiwork of man, nnd supplanting it with her own mosses nnd trailing verdure, till she has won tbe whole structure back. But in Italy, when ever man has oncc hewn a stone, nature forthwith relinquishes her right to it, and never lays her finger oa it again. Age af ter age finds it bare and naked, in the bar ren shunshine, and leaves it so. Besides this natural disadvantage, too, each suc ceeding century, in Rome, has dune its i best to ruin the very ruins, so far as their | picturesque effect is concerned, by stealing away the marble and hewn stone, and leaving only yellow bricks, which never | can look venerable.
