Select MHiterature, (From Blackwood's Magazine. ) A CITY OF THE PLAGUE, [Concluded.] “Next morning brought me the sad tiding of the seizure of one of the little twin boys of my friends the I—~s, anda request from the mother that I would come to hey, I gotup as quickly as Tcould,and stayed there till the poor child diced, ten hours after he was first taken ill, and then for the first time realized what cholera really was, After much difficulty and de- lay we got a doctor, who pronounced the case not hopeless, left a few simple reme- dies, and promised to return as soon as he could. ‘This was about ten o'clock in the morning, and he neyer came back at all, and at five o’clock in the afternoon the dea little fellow was dead. ‘To watch the sad change worked hour by hour, as the bright rosy face turned livid and hollow- eyed, and the round white limbs grew colder and more rigid and purple, despite our efforts to rub lite and warmth into them again, was unspeakably painful, op- pressing our hearts with a sense of the in- evitable end. About half an hour before death, came apparent insensibility; the awfal gasping for water gpd conyulsive | biting at glass or spoon, that indicated a suffering it was agonizing to witness, ceased, und it was almost with thankful- ness we saw the last breath leave thoss poor parched lips, «That night the deaths were still on the increase, and a new phase occurred in the progress of things. At first, as [ told you, the people went in crowds to the churches and altars, beseeching God's merey on their unhappy city. Now there came through the hitherto empty streets troops of men and boys (ne'er a woman amongst them), with tambourines, trian- gles, and castanets, howling out wild songs, dancing and embracing each other, and stopping at the doors of each litle drinking-cavern to call out those from within, to come out and drink and shout with them, ‘These were chicily the poorer artizans, bricklayers, carpenters, smiths, and others of the townsfolk, who, refusing work of any kind, pawned what- ed to know the artist-world here, and note quaint ways and peculiarities that, in more busy capitals, there is no time to think of nor opportunity to remark: formeyy, 1 mean, when Rome was not considered as a fortnight’s excursion from home—one among # thousand places to be yisited on a short holiday expedition, Many others besides our old friend died in Rome with- in twenty-four hours after their arrival. Others who have remained actively en- gaged, like our friend Luigi Napoleoni, in offices of mercy and charity, have hitherto escaped contagion. But, perhaps, it is only natural that, in reckoning up the names of those who fell in the cause of humanity and Christian charity, the death of the Cardinal Bishop of Albano, Altieri, should have made special impression upon us all. The news of the cholera having burst forth with such terrible fury among his flock reached the Cardinal by telegram on Tuesday evening, while present at an examination in the Clementine College in Rome, of which his Eminence was direc- tor. He immediately returned to his pal- lace, near the Gesh, collected what ready money he had, sent word to the Holy Father of his determination to fly to the assistance of his people, and took his de- partuye from Rome with two doctors whom he brought away at his own ex- pense. On reaching Albano he did not go on to his episcopal residence, but left his carriage and began at once to exhort the people to courage, and to give orders that every means might be taken to calm down the universal terror, He then immediately proceeded to visit those attacked: by chol- era, to distribute alms, administe: the sac- vultures about the place, The sigh those foul birds alone, the frightful hir the imagination given by their presence, the dreadful calm of the statement that there were ‘* no worse there than in other places,” makes the mind sick with horror. Such was the scene enacted in the month just past, in one of the fairest of earthly landscapes, a spot associated with every- thing that is bright and pleasant to so many. The villeggiatura of 1867 will long be remembered in the little city, and with terrible reason. Since then the scourge has abated—‘‘ ceased entirely,” say the lust accounts—but leaving what gaps, what terrors, what recollections behind it! The plague in London, and the plague iu Milan, and the plague in Florence, haye all been described to us in the words of genius; but a hand unpractised is capable of setttng beside them an almost equally impressive picture, truth in its intense reality having a force above art. The fate of Cardinal Altieri has, as is natural, been received by some with ex- aggerated plaudits and lamentations, by others with the usual revulsion of cynicisny and opposition to what other people say. Our sympathetic and liberal-minded press, after recording his heroism and martyrdom one day, declares the next that it must be an extraordinary thing for a bishop to do his duty, or his act would not be regarded as anything out of the way. But the fact is that, except parish doctors and parish priests now and then, who do the deed very quietly without knowing it, but few people nowadays dic for the sake of their fellow-creatures; and it is still true that greater love hath no man than this, raments, and do all that lay in his power | that a man lay down his life for his friend+ to relieve and comfort his flock. From the| He might have done it moderately, taken hour of his arrival till the Saturday fol-|his dinner, and put on his shoes, say our lowing, when he was seized by the fatal} comfortable critics. But then, as it hap- maludy, he was oceupied in charitable ef-| pened, this bishop was one of the same forts to assuage the horrors of the pesti-|race as those who shrieked Grazia at the lence, Calling to mind the example given | dimly-lighted shrines, and danced wildly by the Archbishop of Milan, San Carlo | throagh the lurid streets when the bonfires Borromeo, during the great plague there, | blazed at the strect-corners, and the carts the Cardinal carried about the Holy Sacra-} went by with the dead.
