A Day With By ion and Sholloy. j , 3 - . i At two oYlock on the following day, in company with Shelly, I crossed ilie Po?t?! : 1 Vecehio, and went on :lie Lung' A mo to 1 the Palazzo Lanfranchi, tho residenco of j 1 Lord Byron. Wo entered n large marl-lo 1 liall, ascended a giant staircase passed ' through nn equally large room over the hall, 1 and were shown into a smaller apartment which had books and a billiard-table in it. A suily looking hull-dog (Moretto) aticou I ced us, by growling, and the Pilgrim in- ' Atautly advancd from an inner chamber, ! 1 uod stood before us. His halting gait was j 1 apparent, but ho moved with q<iic-lcti?.*ss; ' ami although pale, ho look as fresh, vigo- j ' rous, and animated as any mail I over saw. ' llis pride, a.Med to his having lived fur } ' many years alone, was tho cause, I suppose, ' 1 that lie was embarrassed at tirst meeting ! ' with strangers. This he ti'ud to corn ea! !>v an affectation ol\a-e. After the interchange ' of commonplace questions and answers, he !' regained his self possession, and turning t > | 1 bhellcv, said, "As you are addicted to p<?- i 1 csv, <io and read the versieles 1 was d.divpr- 1 ?d of last liigh, or rather this niorinj*? that is, if you can.

Yankee | ' captain bellowed,?4,You copper-bottomed j 1 fcarpent, I gusa y?*n*ll know when I've re- j ported you to Congress." Tho surprise I j expressed by my looks was not at what he j said, hnt that ho could register such trifle* j in his memory. Of course, with otlu-r j , sud) small anecdotcs, his gre.it triumph jit j having swum from Sestos to Abydos was not forgot ton. 1 had come prepared (osce j solemn mystery, and so far as I could judge j j from the first act, it seemed to ine v?iv > - , i like a solemn farce. I forgot that great j ^ actors, when ofi" tl?* staie dull d??gs ; ! j and that even the mighty Piwpero, with- . out his book and m::gio m mile, was l.ut. an ordinary mortal. At lh:s juncture Shelly joined us; he never laid aside hin honk am! magic mantle; lie wavd his hand, and By- ! > ron, after a faint show of defiance, stood j j mute?his quick perception of the truth of j Shelley's comments on his poem transfixed j ' him, and Shelley's earnestness and just, j criticism held him, captive. I was however j titruok with Byron's mental vivacity and I wonderful memory: he defended himself j 1 with a variety of illustrations, precedents,!, and apt quotations from modem authorities disputing Shel lev's nn?ni?iii.->ii- I... A-- i njing their truth as a whole, but iii parts ;J and the subtle questions lie but would haws j puzzled a less acute reason than theonc : , he had lo contend with. During thin di? 'j cussion I scanned the Pilyrim clustdv. In ' external appearance Bvron realized that i 1 ideal standard with which imagination \ ( adorns genius. He wa-> in the piiuivof-i - life, lhirty-fiv? ; of middle height, five f.-?t ; I eight and a half inches ; regular foaiuivs, i ' willlollt !l ttini.. r^r f. 1 - >'!

IIU small, hi^'ir j j ly finished head and curly hair, bad an airy j 1 and graceful appearance from the massive- 1 ness and length of his throat : yon saw hi* ; genius in his eyes and lips. In short, Nature could do little more than she had done for him, both in outward form and in the ! 1 inward spirit she had given to animate it.? j 1W nil l" ms jailthllCeO imagination, only served to make Ins one | ( personal.def.-et (lameness) the more; appa- i i rent, as a (law is magnified in a diamond , ' when polished; and lie brooded over that j hlemis-h as sensitive minds will brood until . j they magnify a wart into a wen. His laine- j , tiess certainly helped to make him seepsi- ' > ealf cynical, and savage. There was peen- i liarity in his dress?il was adapted to the ! ' climate; a tartan jacket braided : he said it . ' was the Gordon nnttern nt?.l i :? ? - - T i ?i ? ? i'??v ms mom- r . er was of that ilk. A blue velvet cap wit-h ( a gold band, and very loose nankeen trou*.- i eis, strapped down so as to cover his feet: ' his throat vVas not hare, as represeulw.l in |' drawings. At three o'clock one of his per- ' vanU announced that his horses were at ihe ; i door, which broke oft* his discussion with < Shelley, ami we all followed him to the hall. ' At the outer door we found three or f?.ur very ordinary-looting horses; they had hoi- i ( Bters on the 6adules, and m.iny other super- I fluous trappings, sueh as the Italians delight < in, and Englishmen eschew. Shelley, and ' an Irish visitor just announced, mounted two ' of these sorry jades. I luckily had ?ny | own cattle. Byron got into a caleeche, i und did not mount bis horso until we had ' clearded'the gates of tho town, to avoid, as j! he said, being star&l at by the "d?d Eng. ' lisbenv" who generally congregated before , his house on-tile Arno.

After live or six shots eaeli, Bvron pocketed the battored money, ami siuntured about thu grounds. We then remounted. On our return homewards, Shelley urged Byron to complete something he had i begun. Byron smiled, and replied, '\Juhn | Murray, my patron and pay master, says mv J |?lavs won't act.

I had, however, nui! standing rule, which was, Slii ve all circumstances to do light and tin; te-t of right, under all circumstances was tlie Golden Rule: 'All tilings whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do you even so unto tliem.'

In the first placo, the pl?-a, 'You have not made any rule against it,' which for a long time was a terrible burden to me, lost al! its power. In the second placo, by keeping constjintly In Tore the scholars, as a standard of action, the single test of right and wrong as one which they were to apply for themselves. I was enabled to cultivate in them a deep feeling of personal responsibility. Id the third place, I got a strong hold on their I'i'i-liiiLj-s, ami acquired :i new power of cultivating ami directing them. In the fourth place, 1 bad thesatisfaction i?f setting them bocome more truthful, hon i-st, trustworthy, ami manly in their inter out>e wi;h me, witb their friends, and with each dihi-r. Once, however, I was sadiv puzzled hv an ipp'ication of tlx? principle bv one of tnv Scholars, (>eorgo Junes, a huge ln<v, who, partly through a false feeling of honor, and [tartly through a feeling of stubborness re:'ii?ed to give mo some information. The jirrimistauces were these: A M-li il.ir !>:?< 1 played some tiicks which intt-rr?tj?:?-.l the ex.r< .ises. As was my custom, I railed to tlx? one who lsa<l done the mischief to conic forward. As no on" 'tailed, I repeated the request, but with no success. Finding that Ilie culprit would not confess his gidt, I asked George if he knew who had committed the offence. 'I did not do it,' was the reply.., 'But do you know who did?' 'Yes, nr.' 'Who was it ?' 'I do not wish to tell.' 'But you must tell; it is my duly to ask, md yours to answer me.' 'I cannot do it, sir,' said Georg?, firmly. 'Then you must stop with inc after teliool.' Tie stopped a<* requested, hut nothing vhie.h I could urgo would induce him to eveal anything. At la*t, out of patience., villi what I believed to bo the obstinacy of he boy, I said : 'Well George, T have borno with you ns OllfF as T fiAn iirul vaii ?..u 0 , ?

With triumphant look, as though conicious tliat he had cornered mo by an application of my favorite rule, he replied : I can't toll you, because it would not be ight; the boy would not like to have me ell of him ; and I'll do as I'd be done l?y.' A few years earlier, I should have deemed \ reply thus given ^n insula,, and should lave resented it according; But experience ?nd reflection had taught me the folly of his, and that one of the tnoH important applications of my oft quoted ruje was to udge of the nature of others as I would v isii iom*e mem judge of mine. Yet, or the moment I was staggered, llis p]?n ?aa plausible; ho might be honeat in mi* ting it.;. J-did not ^eo what rexpect it waa ttlltHfiqOu.
