Rese�a del editor

One seldom finds in Italy a spot of ground more agreeable than another that is not covered with a convent. ADDISON. TN o, it is a convent, answered the old sea captain, in response to the questions of his little group of passengers, as they were slowly steaming into the harbor of Eio de Janeiro on a very fair morning in June. They were looking at something white which crowned the extreme point of the mountain behind the city. A h-ha! muttered the young man of the party, withdrawing from the circle, and beginning to disfigure a page of his diary with a slashing sketch of the view in question. The young lady of the party put her finger to her lip, enjoining silence, and softly stepped behind him. This was what she read underneath the picture: South side of this nun s-nest, perpendicular rock. A thousand feet high, or more. Points straight to Heaven, like a sinners prayer. No show to get up there. North slope more favorable.
