AN ADVENTURE IN THE BALL OF ST. PETER'S.

x was ono August day—the twenty-first of a certain anniversary—that a party of friends found themselves in tho shadow of tho Cathedral of St, Potcr at Rome. Thoro waa no coolness anywhere to bo found, except in the neighbourhood of the over splashing fountains, or behind tho pillars of the colonnades. A glance at tho Tiber river near by mado you recoil from its deep-sunk flood that seemed to boil and ooze sluggishly in the sun. Tho Castle of St. Angolo, ovor yondor, whiohwns once tho tomb ofHadriau, regained part of its original purpose—that of a huge vase for ashes tilled with the relics of the Csesars, ovor which tho archangel- Weathercock exulted in the bright air, like a mountain flame. Tho sky, absolutely pooled of clouds, was a cauldron of bluo crystal in which moltoo turquoise was all tt-quive r. Was it any wondor that wo had fled to 4he all-embracing cathrcdral church of the world for nefugo against tho beleaguering light?

Horo within, all was dim and twilight like and sweot ; even tho faded and evcu f tiding inconss was swoot. It was dolightful to touch tho cold marbles, to handle the wings of the " young-eyed chorubim " that uphold the mighty basin of eau benite, to put tho palm of tho hand against tho icy porphyry and tho shuddering malachite Away up yonder, in tho vast arch of tho dome, the foathory quill of St. Mark soomctl tj waft down ooolnesa upon tho pilgrims below—npon tho tombs of princos and prophets ; the ehapols behind tho iron gratings were redolent of mountain breezes in the coolness which they suggestively breathed upon. The silvery tone of tho interior of tho church was tranquilising. No painted glass throw varied spots of blood and lire on tho sensitivo door, or con centrated in thoir glassy llowor-bed the liumours and passions of tho sun. " Lot's go up into tho roof," cried ono of tho party, weary of the monotony of tho church. No sooner said than dono. A courteous O:clesiostic guided us up the inclined plane that led heavenward bjy nn ascent so oasy that you could rido up on horseback or roll up in a carriage and lour. " Let's go up into tho domo," cried another, finishing his hasty survoy of tho snail town that has sprung up ou the roof of the church. Tho masons and workmen, you must know, livo hero on the top, and their supplies are brought up to thorn on donkey-back. They succeod «ach other in rogiilar hereditary line, and tho right of living in this aerial city is handed down from father to son. Think of being born up in the air I So off we s tar tod on the climb of the domo, in and out of winding staircases, with little flashes of light shooting suddenly in on us through loopholes as we climbed. Presently wo cams to a qallcrki that girdloa the dome outside liko a necklace or the ruche of a Turkish minaret. Here someone dropped his pocket-book, and out in every direction scattered and ran and rolled tho bright gold coins. How tho Capuchin panted, and the Italian cantad'ma puffed, and the Englishman blew, and ovorybody bo-Joyed 1 Evidently nobody had lung complaint. •'Let's go up into tho ball," suggested a third mombor of tho party, scornfully view ing landscape at our feet, " this is nothing I" " Yes I" cried everybody, with simul taneous aoclaim, and wo all started at a run, higher and higher still, np tho steep ladder that led from the galloria into the golden Orange that surmounts tho dome of St. Pater's. From tho ground this orange is really an orange to look at. When you got into it—it holds sixteen people. And on the top of this thoro is what looks like a tiny cross, a moro glittering toy, such as a I idy might hang about her nock, or a nun swing to hoi rosary ; but it was 17ft. long, lit for the neck of one of tho Jack-killed giants. Wo climbed, cautiously, one after tho other, through an aperture just big enough to admit a person of ordinary size. Thero were Blita in the mossy bronze through the end of an serial spyglass—out—out—as far as the eye oould soa. Wonderfully distinot, like a piece of ehisolled marble, lay the city of Rome, boneath and about us. Tho thunder of the Eternal City molted to a musical and almost inaudible murmur as it gathered in shadowy localisation within the nollow heart of the ball. Far away westward, or what seemed westward, in tho direction of Ostia, thoro was a lino of whito that betrayed tho shimmer ot the ivory-toothed Mediterranean a* it gnawed and chopped tho shore, Yonder was the crawling skein of the Tiber, tangling Iteslf in the complications of Old Homo clutching the throat of tho city, like the yellow finger of a thug. Throo hun dred churches sent tip campaniles, clock towers, duomos, of every imaginable shapo aid sho, into the air to moet us. On one aide the gardens of the Vatican, shrouded in shade, made a dark croon spot on the earth; and on the other the beauti ful terraces of tho Pampili Dorla and the lines of the Janiculum Hills retreated into, lovoly distances unsubstantialisod by the delicate and beaming vapour fiat lay between. The Protestant Camotery, rich in immortal ashes, seemed richer for the powerful lens-magni fying air through which we looked at it. Tasso's San Onofrio, the sweetest and most aicred spot in Rome, full of honey-bees, and groped beloved of the wasps, and garnered ''memories, and glories of Domenichins, shone like a stanza out of some mythic Farie Queen enclosing the Bower of Adonis. Over the houses lav the glorified Campagno, tho purplo peak of Soracto, and over this the masses of violot and salmon flamo that moulded themselves into the Appennines and seemed ready to exhale and float away with trembling lightness. Stone-pines seamed the hillsides with statuesque Shadows, veritable nmbrellas of Old Lake Nic spreading painted dreams ovor the heads of tho good children sleeping beneath them. The oDellsks in the great piazzas shot out their pointed snake tongues at the aun. The huge bowl of the Colisseum 1 loked like a teacup, and the Palace of the Clesars waa the house of the tin soldier. 'You could have hung tho Temple of Vesta i_> your watch-chain as a charm, and nsod the Column of Trojan aa a toothpick. The Pinclo was a toy garden that would readily Blip into your vest pocket. Bernini's crab claws shrunk to the dimensions of a shrimp. Hie Holiness the Pope, on his white mule, ambling in the Vatican Oardens, was a crumb pulled by an emmet. You, yourself, for the moment were animalculic inside a drop of water, looking out through the clear crystal walls on the world at large. "Air, air!" suddenly gasped somebody beside me, " Air II am suffocating I" How had we beon able to stand it even five minutes ? Here we wore in more than the fiery furnace of the Book of Daniel—a rod-hot ball of flaming bronze heated by a thousand suns, till one's very hair smelt like burned feathers. "Air, air I" shouted the Englishman. What was the matter. Well, tho great, greasy Italian guide, panting with ambition, had ascended the ladder, less agilely, indeed, but not loss inevitably than we. He had ascended— 03cended—head—shoulders—bust—middle! There he stuck 1 Neither np nor down could he advance; a»d there he lay weltering and wollowing in tho hole, a huge perspiring stopper, setti ng us up like a fiottls of beor, "Goon Heavens I" we all cried; "man, will you let us out t Hurry —we are itifling!" An elaphantino roll was the only response. " Chuelt him down I" murmured one of the Englishmen between his teeth ; " he'll b? the death of us all." Again the man swayed helplessly in the hole, his dangling extremities going through the pendulum drill far below. " 'Eave 'im out I" surged the other Englishman, who had been a sailor. •* Throw him overboard—drown him 1" The unfortunate guido lay in the clutch of the hole, caught as securely as the belted Orion. Twirl his extremities as ho might —pendulate—oscillate—heavo—revolve; in vain | there he stnok, and the air could no more get throHgh him to our famishing lungs than it could through tho bronro itself. Eight people inside of a brazen globe, bottor than ten thousand eggshells, could not get air enough through the slits of the metal to live on. We should all die 1

"By tho eternal Jerioho, I vion't die up here, you confounded idiot!" The two took hold of the man's fat shoulders, and gave him a scrunch down wards, like ranning a fork into a bottle— a fair push, a long push, and a push altogether—and —down ho went! A whiff of dolightfulnir rushed in throngh tlio neck of tho bottle, and wo breathed tgain—we were saved ! And so our birthday party in tho dome of St. Peter's came to an end.—Prize Tit bit.

MRS DR STUART Has for years dovotixl especial nttoi.tlon to tho disorders cummoii to hor sex, and in her Homo dies ladies have Iho greatest boon over intro duced to public notice. Many years' experience in tlio largest female pructloe in tlio metropolis, comprising every übo, temperament, nnd com plaint. )Hi!) afforded nmpli! opportunity for tho niOßt ihi.rough trial of the Medicines reputed to be of value, and tlio Itoiiieclie.i now introduced to the ladies of Auokland have won the highest esteem and praises from innumerable mothers and daughters restored to strength, regularity, und all the blessings of sound health. MRS DR7~STUART'S LADIES' TONIC, 3s an. Is Cd Pun IIOTTI.E. This Is essentially a Fomiilo Tonic. It con tains the elements requisite for the peculiar constitution of woman. Whatever of value there may bo in the legion of quacks and nos trums imposed upon a too-generous and eun lltling public for iho stronger-ses:, thoy have proved themselves to be utterly valueless fur foinalo use. For loss of appetite, colour and spirits, palpitation of tho heart, unfitness for exercise or work, this Tonic is tho surest, mildest, uud most agreeable strength-giver ever brought before suffering women. MRS DRSTUART'S LADIES' CALENDAR PILLS, Cl> AND IS ol> Plilt HOX. Tho valuo of these Fills for periodical uso cannot well be over estimated. Thoy are prompt and certain in their notion.

All who havo used thono Romodirs testify to tlio kindliness and regularity of tho monthly jlokneßS. In many cases of paleness, doblli'y. md loss o(appetite of months duration, causing the gravest fears of consumption, tho judicious uso of tho Fills and Tonic has restored the bloom of health, strength, and enjoyment of food. Tho attention of lady principals, matrons ot public and private institutions, ...oilier, mil liners, dressmakers, shop-girls, domestic ser vants, factory girls, ami all engaged in seden tary occupations or elo-ely conllnnd situations, ;s called to the unequalled Tonic and corrective virtues of these famous Remedies.
