(Lippincott's Magazine for February.) , PART ir. Early in February the Belgian Ambassador, M'dle comto dc Beyens, and Madame la eomtesse. kindly* took charge of Miss St-Clair to the imperial ball at the Tullcrieu. She bad never looked more charming than in the exquisite costurae of pale rose-colored faille, with a floating mist of white tulle, caught here aud there by rosebuds that might have grown in Cbrimbild's garden. Tho airy figure, so graceful in every motion, the well; poised head with its flutter of shining aurls, the wonderful dark eyes, the perfect eyebrows, the delicious little : mouth where love seemed to nestle? when she had vanished "it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music." Mad aino la comtessc congratulated me on liei* appearance, and afterward on her i success. The emperor had distinguished her in a very flattering man: ner, and Eugenie, looking earnestly i [it her, said .to the comtcs9p, "Nothing j is so beautiful as youth, perhaps be- i ginning to regret hor own. " 3So one I had made so decided a-eensation. < < At Madame Lo Fort'a next reoep- i Lion there was a wdden influx of now j quests?a young Belgian baron of old I historic name, slim and stiff as a po- i fer; a brisk French viscount, who i -1J il-.A I L.J I ? J t lOIU mc inat nc uuu ucuii uuuuuuiuu i ivith the embassy at Washington, and t bad quite fallen in lovo vrith ourinsti- i .utious; an Italiatf chccalicr, a Russian prince. ' ' : '](;r * "Ugliness has its compcnRulion,' t bought I. Nobody makes such a fuss i )vor a pretty girl at home (they are ( lot ho uncommon), and I will never < ariug one to Paris again. Thank [leaven wo are going to Italy soon. The piercing .Tramontane came t iown upon us in the Bay of Naples t ivith so fierce a blast that we doubted f we wore not in Icclaud, and were t jlac) to make our cscape to Home, 1 vlioro wo found an asj-lum f? the Ho- i el do Jlincrvo, not far from the Pan- I boon. -Many of tho old palaces and mi von Is nf T talv lmva been Lrans- V brmcd into hotels. This was tho an- I lient palace of tho pri.n<;os of Couth c ! was so captivatcd by the superb di- \ iing-room that tho quality of the din- I tors made but a faiut impression. 1 kVbat! cat in tho presence of all theHe v narblo goddesses, looking down upon r is serene and cold, as if from their thrones on tho starry Olympus! Or 1 f I turned my eye* resolutely away a *rom Juno, Ceres and Minerva, tbej' ivercsure to bo snared by the dancing t jirls of Pompeii stepping out from, the c roseocd walls, or inextricably cntan- r jled in the lovely garlands of fruit ind flowers that wound their mazy t tvay alonglhe borders. ' \ One evening while wo were waiting i for one of tuFendless courses of a ita- I btad'hotcl dinner, my wandering eye I cai^jht by the most perfect, bu^ I riitr Luihd I bad ever seen.- It seemed r tha>4fcf the youthful Lord Byron, bo t wgllCTSown in busts and engravings? [ tbo sarbo small head with high-forc- I bead and clustering dark-brown curl? the perfectly moulded chin, the full i ripe beauty of the lips. The eyes were a deep blue, but I thought tlie'm t black at first, they were so darkly ,? shaded by the thick black lashes. 1 r am convinced that Byron must have t bad just such eyes, for some of his bi- 1 bgraphers bescribe them as black and s others as blue. "When ho roso from the table I saw a slight well-knit fig- ( ure of exquisite proportions, liko tho 1 Gfeek god of love. (Not Cupid with bis vulgar arrows, but tho truo hcav- s enly Eros. I saw him once in the j \fiicnnm r. f Vunlnc om<I nmnn of t li n Vatican. Is it Lovo, or Death, or Immortality? I quoried, and.then I knew it was the three in uno.) I soon learned that the j'oitth whose ideal beauty had impressed mo so strongly was the Count Francisco do Alvala of Toledo in Spain, f fanofcjthat his eyes wore as easily attraotqd>tp beauty as mine, for tho next -otStoo was my vis-u-vis at table ; not for^Kic sake of looking at mo, I waf well aware, but on account of my beautiful neighbor.

A-group of young people of different nations generally collected on these occasions, and the conversation often turned oil the usages peculiar to their Respective countries. - I'ln Spain 1 could not greet a lady vfith a simple good evening," said the oount. "I should say, 'Permit the i Ll ? t ' (" nm> Lliil'Vlllltu fr? IllV flilll. mumuiuot ui IUUI ?? v- .-j I fself at your feet,' or wmietliiug like thsit." "Why do you not say it to us?"? askod a brighl-eyed Canadian girl. "Well, it might bo a little awkward if you should happen to take it literal})' I" Spain it is the merest comraonplaefe." "If such exaggerated phrases arc frittered into common places, and the nio}?ti'*lmpassionod words grow meanfymfc&s, what can a Spanish gentleman jfina.to say when his heart is really touched ?" 1 inquired. "I fancy wc.should find some very j ^fmpjo ,we>rd? to1 say rt "ill," said the | I bo^^gj&o Mo-not' i know -?I have never learned." "talk some more," commanded th< little princess, ' If a pretty young lady is walking in our striate a mantle is often flun< suddenly in her way, and proud ani happy is'its owner if'.shu deigns to se her dainty-foot upon it." "What do they do that for? Be oaasdl-ho streots are so'muddy ?" in quired an obtuso young woman. Bai nobody volunteered to enlighten her "Cannot wo <ro to Spain ?" asker Miss St. Clair. I should Jiko to see i modern Sir Walter Kaloigh," "If the senorita should appear ir our streets they would bestrewn wit! mantles," said the count gallantly. ""Would you throw down yours foi mo to step upon ?" "Surely, senorita.'^ "I'll come, then. It must be of vol tect, roiud." "Yes, 8tudcd with jowolsi" I loved the beautiful youth. Hi: I presence was lilte a poem in my life, and if it ever oecured tp mo tbal the familiar intercourse of the young Ecople must not bo altogether prudenl dismissed it with the thought, ho is only a bof. There was to be an illumination ol thd Colisenm. We were going., ol course, and Count Alvala bogged tbqt I would honor him by making use ol his carriage on this occasion. "Thank you, but I have already spoken to Piero to come for us." "Oh, but wo can send him away. You will find my carriage more comfortable, and it will be in every way plcasanter," ho urged beseechingly; but my negative was peremptory. Eight o'clock came. Miss St. Clair and I descended to the court of the hotel, but where wauPiero? "It is singular. Ho was never luto before, Ki.i 1 n.n /.rtr>K/lotit. tlnif.

The count had joined us with his friend, an Italian marquis some thirty years of age, with whom we had a slight ac mi - quaiiutinco. jl dc ttuuijba iiumlouuic equipago was daawn up near us.? There was no Piero. "I really think you had better accept my young friend's carriage. It svauld ho a pity to miss ho grand a spectacle," said the marquis. \Ye. entered tho carriage.

Lijfe most Americans, we were desirous of seeing the Pope, and count iVlvala obtained for us the necessary permission We were to be received >n a Saturday at eleven o'clock. We went in the pre^rihed costume, black silk, with the j^turcsque Roman veil Lhi'owo over the head. From tho foot :>f SeaJa Eegia (Royal Staircase) one Df the the papal guard, in a motley suit which seemed one glare of black xnd yellow, escortcd us to the door of <\ long corridor, known as the Loggia af Raphael, where wo were received by a higher official in rich array of crimson velvet.

We waited till my. neclwiichcd .with lookingup ot the. exquisite frescoes, fresh and tender in coloring*as if new from the bund of tho master, when tho Pope appeared, attended by a cardinal on each hand. Wo fell on our knees instantly, but not till I had seen an old man's face so sweet and venerable as to make this act of elquottc a spontaneous horn ago. He passed slowly down the line saying a word or two to each; and extending his ijand, white aud toft like a woman's to bo kissed. 1 Pausing by the young cownt, who was kneeling Reside me, he said impressively, "Courage and faith have ajways been attributes of the house of!

How to Dccn'k Sheep.?Like uwnv other Mpersons, 1 handled sheen a lonir lane before acquiring the art of driving theui to the best advantage, whcir the sheep trre turned on the road without any help to nwitit me. The first day I drove fnxn eight to ten miles, and got them in good pasture at right, Tbe next morning, after getting under way, I found the sheep wore Jbry hard io drhre; they wanted to lie do?&. under every shade, and I labored hard alufby, and only made seven or eight miles & the joyrney; and this was my experience for three or four days. I began tit last to reflect a* to the cause of the sheep driving so badly, and it occured to rae that the reason was, they, had / filled themselves during the night, and wanted to lie down and chew their cad, instead of travelling on a full stomaob. I resolved to change my tactics at the next stopping place. Accordingly, when night cume, instead of turning them into a pasture field as heretofore, I put them into a n.<? elcan barn-yard, and let them resrt nil night instead of eating. The result wax that next morning when 1 turned them on the road I had to get before them to restrain tbem. I found it necessary to use a long pole t? keep them back, so marvelous wu* the change, and ho impetuous was their anxiety to push ahead.
