Beatrice Cenci?The Btoby or a Well known Face.?la the picture gal? lery of the Berberina Palace, at Rome, hangs tbe portrait of o youug Romanj girl, painted by Guido. It is & beauti? ful but melancholy face.whose "South look of sweet, sorrowful eyes," aud ?'.ouch of prisou paleness," reproduced in ohroino, are so frequently seen in parlor and shop windows. For of all the famous paintings in Rome, none is better known or more copied than this. It derives peculiar interest from the his? tory of her whose features it is said to represent. Francesco Cenci, the head of one of tho oldest aud wealthiest fami? lies of Borna, was a man of violeut tem? per, and, in his household, intolerobly cruel. Two of his sous were assassi? nated at his iustigation. At length, un? able longer to endure his cruelties and tyrauuy, bis family appealed tc the l'ope, Clement VIII, for protection; the petition was miscarried, und remained, j of course, unanswered. On the nipht of tbe loth of September, 1593, Fran? cesco was murdered. lie was found with an euormoas nail driveu iuto euch of his eyes?a mode of assassination which indicated that at leust two per sons were engaged iu the work. One of them was liually captured, aud upou ex? amination, charged the wife, a son, and the daughter, Beatrice, with huviog prompted the doud. They had, he tes J tilled, put tho victim to sleep by admi? nistering a narcotic draught, and then had introduced himself nud bis accom? plice into Francesco's chamber. They wore arrested aud imprisoned in the Castle of St. Angelo, where they were, from time to time, us was tho practice during the middle ages, subjected to the tortures of the rack, to force them to confess th?j crim?. As was frequently the case with the accused, whether guilty or not, preferring death to this lingering agony, tbe mother aud bro? ther made confession. But for nearly a year Beatrice continued firm iu her de? clarations of innocence. At last a new method of torture was devised, to inflict which would make it necessary to cut off her hair, which is described us boiog "tb.o most silken, thu longest, and the most marvelous iu color ovor seen." At this she turned pale. "Touch not my head," sue cried; "let mo die without mutilation." An i to save her trusses, she, too, yielded. Her beauty, the be? lief iu her innocence, the courage she hurl shown, had won the sympathy und compassiou of tho whole Romau popu? lace, und the Pope was besieged with petitions to grant her pardon. This he was Dearly persuaded to do when, at the trial, her cause was most eloquently pleaded by the counsel appointed for tho defence, and it was shown how pro bubly a man bo generally disliked and dreaded as Francesco should have had enemies outside his own household to plot against his life. Other murders of similar character oc? curring about this time, induced the Pope to refuse paidou, and it is thought that bis decision was influenced by tho considerations that in the evont of their condemnation tho property of the prisoners would come into possession of the church. They were, therefore, publicly executed on tho piazza of the bridge of St. Angelo, September the 9th, 1599. All tho windows, roofs aud balconies in the vicinity were tilled with people to witness tho scene, so great was the interest felt for the beautiful and youug heroine. The portrait by Guido is said to have been painted just before her execution, and during her contiuo meut iu prison. Her story has fur? nished food for many a romaueo, und has often been represented upou tbe stage. She is still generally supposed to have been innocent of connection with the crime, and for every one re? calling this passage of history, tho pic? ture has a strange fascination. Hilliard D.
