It was an inter est~i observation, and I continued it, ihr a hour wyith a deep interest. On the borders of' this lake in coorl November rnorning I came upit a garden of' fk)wersr-beaitif'ul atu splendid beyond descriptin-.titt were frost flowers arid the growth theo prev'ious night. In shape they r semrble the waiite pond lily--bt tI stem was unlike that aquatie flowi being only of a few inrches in Jengt these f rost flowers were as large the white lily, and ,nc lut a lint Above the gi-ound. The outer leaves were opaque on the edges, aid the stet portion perfectly transparent; the' inner leaves were but little different, but the shades between the opacity and transparency were so hamnious aid b-autifuil that I was perfeedy en crhanted whetn I exami izied them, and without taking a second thought, I plueked one from its stem and carried it near a mile. It it. leiglth inelted in my hand. I felt sorry tlat I had re lmof)ved it, but consoled myself with the reflection that it was not lost, that it, still existed although in a more ex panded .forn and would again have 1'rm of beauty and brilliaicy. The earth wtere the bed of frost flowers were found was wholly unlike any earth I had ever before seen--it was a mealy substance nearly the color of tan iwade of pulverized bark and quite dry. In thp same level piece of ground the sun of tle farmer woio -,wns it, was ploughinig several years ago, and while fillowin his team with his back to. ward the lake he heard a roaring of water behind him--he looked back arnd saw the lake overiliawing land in great wavos--he istened his tearm anid libd to his h.mne ati'righted and alarm el; but when he returned with his 1a. ther to see what h-id been done, the lake, had resumed its place and its quiet. When I first; approached the border of this lake, I funtid, on the .s urfc til appeared at first view to be puonnice stone, but I found (in ex. anination tha' it % as heavier, and was at sort of concrete flirmed by Ihe water. On urri% ing on the shore of the lake I found its waters very deep and its banks perpendicular, and had to me a frighted aspect. I returned at onceu to the nearest, house iad enqiired if there was any danger in exploring tie bIorders of the lake, and being assured there was none I returned aid cum menced my researches. Wood taken frtm this lake on being bjrnt gives out a stillphluii rous smell.

A correspondent or the New York rimes gives a sketch of the American Aintaers residing in Rome, from which we have culled the following t xtracts; 'Page of New York, removed to Rome in the autumn of 1852, where ie of his first works was a portrait if Charlotte Cushman, the actress. rhe likenmess was capital, and all the ;oul and character of the accomplish. d aetress vere brought out in perfect idelity. He next painted a portrait >f Mrs. Crawford, the wife at the toulptor. The next portrait from his usel, was that of Browning, the Eng ish poet. There is a beautiful consis. ency in Page's whole character, qs bis !reatnie-69 of talei.t and largeness of neul a- equal. Freemen, alsd 6 our city. has been L - -sident of Rome for 16 years. The ast picture that he sent home, was mie of 'I he three Mary's at the sepul. !hre.' It is a pioture that tells the story well, It was low toned, deep ad rich in cob, and is prevaded 3y fine feelin g. It,r.jPinds you .of. o Tyari *. Cr t la color andI ;entinent.

(ephas Q. Thonpson, of our city, is residing hero, where he has been for two year,, The paat winter he has been engaged upon portraits, in which line he is very good. He has painted i njumnber of ideal pictures, amonlg then, one that he calls the 'Circassianu Girl,' tnat. I muih admire. It is a hall' length figure inl a sitting posture, the atris crossed inl frront, with the hands in view, and the face-one of peerless beauty--looking upward. A mianacle, and her sad expression tell the tale of her servitude. The feitures are clas sical, and her dark waving tresses are tastefully arranged. It is rich in dra pery and culor, correct in drawing, anid a most lovely picture. IIe. has umua ny other works in his studio, which clearly show his line feeling ior the chaste arnd beautiful. Hie is a man very mouch liked here for his kind, genial arid truthful nature, and holds a high rank as an artist. Birowun, the landsicapo painter, has tainted a numaber of large landscapes of vie ws near Tivoli. U~is drawings fram nature surpass anything I ev er saw. Ti/ton, from Massachusetts, is a young it.ant of great pr-omnuse as a land scape painter. It is evidenat from. his6 works that he takes Claude for his guide, whose works he studies more thani nattutre. Wotherspeaon, who is abotut to re turn to your city after a six years' E rupean residence', much of which was pas-ed at Rome, as beyond all ques. tion the best landscalpe pani we have herec. lie has int his studio, a nhumfber of works, amoeng LI.temn a pic ture of 'Nemi,' viewed frein; the shore of the lake. TUhe subject has beenI painted re peatedly by enatinent ai tists, but never better treated than by him. It repr~esent the town ont a high cliff that. iverha .gs the lake, beyond which is a perfectly pure and maignificent ltalianu sky, lie seems to have caught the very spirit of the place, which is the most idturesquie and composing tox t~te mind of the beholder of any in Italy. Tlhe lakhe reposes in a deepuma phithe-at re ; high abive the sea, it is surrounded by frowning clilT1a w'hich are surmounted with eastellated bat tlements as if man had vied with na tur - ini heightening the stern~ and rug ged expressiotn of the savage scene. The bed of the lake is evidently the crater of an extinct volcano, whose fires have, in long past aes,:- fanMt tically slearred the high nnzhmt. ing crags, all of which a e Mirrored i the limpid and qluiet waters beneath, in which seems to be reflected not on. ly .th'e tints but the calm of heaved. The picture I am vinly endeavor ing to describ'o represents the scene at about ,sunept. The slidt;ws and ists o tevening are already collecting abou4 ;h9 keand its shores render. *ed jeg i tmot nough to give chance toithe im mination to con ure up strange and romantic fancies, and to people the gathering shades with th'e fabled spir its with which the classic poets were wont to populate such entrancing scenes. The whole picture is radiant with poetry and nature-romance and reality-blended like the light and shadow, and withal so cunningly that it captivates the mind like some de licious dream of a brighter world. The correspondent of the London Art Journtal, describing his visl:s to the various Roman. Studios, gives the t'sllowing touching Jketch of a gifted but untortunate artist : " As yet Iaine and prosperity had attended the effio:t of those artists whose studios we had visited. But a sad change was Qow to meet us we picked our steps along an unutterably broken up, dirty tqne, ( d then groped our way up a dark win-ding staircase to the neXt, studio 'on our lIt. We were admitted widi all the eagerness of that. 'hope delayed which maketh the heart sick,' There was. n anxious, wan look about the pretty woman (evidently the painter's wife) who re :eived gs and then instantly withdrew. Italian rooms ; no carput covered the brick fivor, little furniture appeared any where the only enbellishfmtnt were several large fresh pictures in o.d frames, all unsold productions of a meritorious but neglected artist. ie -a poor, thin, shrivelled, grey haired man, sat painting jn his little studio, dressed in a threadbare coat, and rose evidently sdrtled and anrprised at the enltraned of visit6rs ; it was easy to see that frp came his wdy ! A fine, spirited piotute of the conpagtvd, with adiorkable gr'dp's sofCttle aud peas ants in the foreitfrund, drawn l1k6 Paul Putter, and excellently colored, stood on the easel. Had this poor man beer the fashion, how triuich and how justly w6ul.d his p:cturh ive been praised I a giked them if it was a commission : !No, Inever lihve. any heavy sigh. 'W d he go'id to send it it the exhibition of the royal Acade my V 'No, fur he tsold tint afford the expense, and he had no friend to ensure even a tolerabia lid.' lelt quite touched, but on(j vehiturad to say .that I warmly and sigcdlly admired the picture of his easel; 'A pole gleam of pleasure athle across his face, and theii faded b like the flame of a wanted lamp, On the walls were beautiftl sketches of t.e landscape and anjaI.ts,-one, q blood-red sunt, withi nld run darkening the toreground, I admired greatly. I ought to add that this poor neglect. d man is one of the best ani mnal paitiers alive, after Landseer. He has engraved a series of etchings that prove his talent; and there is a great picture by him of men on horse back chasing a drove of wild bullocks, galloping down into the. fiveground, which is rettly admirable. But what matters all this ? it is two late now; the iron has enter ed Into his soul, and he is paintinmg, old, and broken-.hearted. 'In the corner of the studio wasa a lovely female thee just sketched in. - 'l shall never linish that portrait, begun twenty years ago now,' and he sighed again- I understand the allusion : that, picturc was the representat ion of the 'ace which had been~ his fate. When it waa begun, lie was a rising artist, received in tlhe trngniflcent sa louons of a portain wealthy Roman no blemazn, on a ftooting~ of equality with the rest of his prolessinial brethren. TIhe original of the head we were now looking at was a beautiful model who ofteni sat to him,.and whom he regard ed with the lover's as well as the g tist's eye. She was very good, very virtuous, siting only for that fatal facme whjieh worked him such Woe. At l-ast he married the model he was proud of his fasir amid honest wife, and in a mo-. menit of imprudent but pardo'nable enthusiasm, lhe took her with him to one of the great Rouiman noblemnan's parties. Iliad she not been so surpas singly lovely, aIe might 1trve passed unnoticed ; but as it, wgs~ gil eyes were bent 4potn her : a bUzz went ruuin m the room of wonder and admiration, but with it there minigled gradually a whis per that the benaty had been a msod enl.

It is impossible to nari-ate the ir. justice which Postuasters soffer, and to which they are daily exo sed.
