Italy from the Alps to Mount Etna . THE ETERNAL CITY IN A MODERN TOGA. 245 time with folded hands, or in some trivial game. The Piedmontese invaders have cut andcurtailed the aforesaid calendar in all directions, and no one seems to long for its restora-tion to its former completeness. Labour has already put forth a hopeful blossom, and. ROMAN MODEL. Rome may expect a rich harvest. But serious labour suffers not the lyres sound, en-dures not dance and song, and some day we shall see play wholly driven out by work, asthe varied national costumes of Europe have been almost utterly superseded by Frenchand English printed calicos. Our childrens children will read wonderingly in some oldbook of travels that there once was a Carnival, horse-racing, and a Tombola in Rome, 246 ITALY. and that the games of boccia (bowls), pallonc (a kind of tennis), quoits, and mora, and thenational Saltarello, were rife here. But then they will be permitted to see, what we canonly faintly guess at and imagine,—glorious old Rome in her Modern Toga.
