DOWN AMONG THE DEAD m.EN--Dismil grim
places are these Roman taerairbac.ounti 'their black gloom,
Catacombs,
their depths, the mystery
of ho
lrable ramifications ; the numberless skeletonsees d alu impene-
in
path's side ; the strange figures painted on theywoagllbs,ywiththe
their great eyes that seem to watch and follow y
pass ; the certainty that at every breath you arell anhsar
draughts of deadly malaria, which bad enough in the open
en
air above is infinitely intensified by the confined atmosphere-
and the wet spongy rock below, and aboveall the conscious-
ness that you are by yourself cut off from the rest of
take
the
world, some 60 or 80 feet underground, and that if you
a wrong turn out of the hundreds that present themselves,
or if you let your light go out, you are likely to be irretsound
riev-
ably lost, as no one will come to look for you, and no
that you can utter will reach the open air. All these con-
siderations operate at first to make a visit to one of the
recently-opened catacombs absolutely appalling. I say at
first, for a very slight degree of use soon begets quite an
opposite sensation ; and after two or three visits, especially
if made alone, and with some definite purpose, the feeling
of terror becomes replaced by a peculiar fascination, and
an almost unappeaseable longing to penetrate farther and
farther into the unknown depths. Than the mortal re-
mains lying so quietly in their several niches—martyrs
many of them, and surrounded by the most expressive and
touching symbols of the faith they died for—soon lose their
.I.l.ll.siveness ; and the grim figures pictured on the walls,
that
have kept their watch century after century, seem to
include you in their protecting influence, while the con-
flux-Lai repetitionomfbtolle Christian hope of the resurrection,
lr pictied and symbolised in every conceivable form and in
apace
every available imparts an air of sanctity to the
place that soon. dispel:,
