Hugh }ion Cornpagno was one of the ayest of the guy children of the South. He had archness and vivacity—a bright eye and a ready tongue. He was the favorite of the neighbors, and was pre- destined by the monk` who taught him Latin to make a great figure in the world. Hugo lead formed a close friendship with a youth about his own age—the son of a gardener , in all respects his inferior, save in that plastic quality of 'temper. that molded itself to the will of - others, and which, by its docility, made, very frequently, a • far deeper impression on those who know hien, than the more apt and vivacious qualities of his patrunizing companion. However, the two lads were firm friends, and in the day.dreatns of boyhood, ere the warm impulses of our nature become chilled in the school of selfishness --ere, in our progress through the world, we imperceptibly itn- b'i >e so great a portion of its clay —the youths had but one hope, saw but one fortune for both. Wealth; if they gained any, was to be equally shared by theft'—honors, if they dame, must be par- ticipated try either. So dreamt they in the, delicious time of youth ; so lived they in one of the loveliest spots :of Italy—at a village some few miles from Bologna. The world as yet lay before thein, an un- discovered country ; they saw* it, as the great navigator saw, in his dreams; the distant yet unknown lane! ; a halo of glory was about it ; it was rich in fruit and flowers, and spicy forests and mines of gold. At length the time arrived when this romantic region was to be explored. Hlgo was to go into the world. ' At the period of which we write, the church was the surest road to honor ; and Hugo, as we have before implied, hada that keen and subtle temperament, that untiring perseverance, and that aptitude for book- leaguing, which, in those days, were con- sitleeed the indispensable requisites for one who, in ostensibly devoting himself: to [rod, sought to grasp at temporal sway ; and who, as he ; bowed with a seeming inward_ reverence to the cross, leered with a miser's eye at Mammon and his heaps. Hugo was :devoted to the church ; he quitted his native vil- lage, and, grown beyond childish years, and having cast away " all childish things," he became a monk,and' in his function -pored over that awful volume, so blotted with crime, so strained with tears, so confused, so scracrlecl with er- ror—that mystery of mysteries the hu- man heart. Thus he labored, :all his thoughts and feelings attuned to one that this tree 'Will be the destiny ,'if it'flourish, T if it fade; Hugo will d however., it•'nay be, Lui our youth shall, in- then the heat is of our old agE we shall meet, yes, often 11106 t, I promise, that there is t o tine taut, no state'so high, thtit eve partinghero as youths,vo ne but as g ay -headed men-J-•thnt dere, em- bracing n this humblewarden wo next' encountc red in the halls f kings --I give my soler n wdrel that yo shall be to me the sam Luigi, 1 the sa e Hiro." • Luigi /rasped the hare of the speaker --" Ilea en prosper you, Hugo- - ncl for - ret not :our fricuds; Iteriembcr, remem- ber the pear -tree." - Fiugo quitted his paten al home ; years passed oh, and whilst Lit gi, a happy and contented man, tilled Ifs frotrid, and propped' his vines, , and saw his ruddy ' offaprin flourishing arou id.'hini—whilst he enjoed. the g reat gift of I'aradise " a country life," and lived in an atmos- phere et serenity, and swectuess, Hugo was toiling throtigb the eviouS paths of church -draft, a childless than.
