The luxury OF the table commenced
about the period OF the battle Of Actium,
and continued TO the reign OF Galba. Their
delicacies consisted Of peacOcks, cranes Of
Malta, nightingales, venison, and wild and
tame fowls; they were also fond of fish
The reigning taste was for profusion Of
provisions; whole wild bears were served
up, filled with various small animals and
birds of different kinds. This dish was cal
led the Trojan horse, in allusion to the
horse filled with soldiers. Fowls and game
OF all sorts were served up in pyramids,
piled up in dishes as broad as moderate ia
bl.s. Mark Antony provided eight boars
for twelve guests, Calgula served up to his
guests pearls Of great value, dissolved in
vinegar. Lucullus had particular name
for each apartment, and a certain scale o.
expense attached 10 each. Cicero and Pom
pey agreed to take supper with him, provid
ed he would not order his servants to pre-
pare anything extraordinary. He directed
the servants to prepare the supper in the
room Of Apollo. His friends were surprised
at the magnifcence Of the entertainment
He then informed them that when he men
toned the name O. the room, the servants
knew the scale Of expense. Whenever ne
supped in the room Of Apollo, the supper
always cost f1 ,250. He was equally sump
tuous in his dress. A Roman Pretor, who
was to give games to the public, requesting
to borrow one hundred purple robes for the
actors, Lucullus replied that he could lend
him two hundred 1t he wanted them. The
Roman furniture in their houses correspond.
ed with their profseness in other respects.
Pliny states that in his time more money
was often given for table, than the amount
of all the treasures found in Carthage when
it was conquered by the Romans. Gil

Precociiy OF InseIIeca.

Having watched the growth Of the young
mind good deal, am less and less in love
with precocity, which. indeed, is often a
mere manifestation Of disease-the disease
Of very fine, but very weak nervous organ
ization. Your young Rosciuses, and all
your wonders Of that kind, generally end in
the leeblest Of commonplace. There is no
law, however, precise and absolute in the
matter. The difference of age at which
men attain maturity Of intellect, and even
Of imagination, is very striking. The tn
multuous heat Of youth has certainly given
birth to many Of the noblest things in mu
sic, painting and poetry; but no less fine
productions have sprung from the ripeness
Of years. Chatterton wrote all his beauti.
full things, exhausted all hopes Of life. and
saw nothing better than death at the early
age of eighteen. Burns and Byron died in
their thirty year, and think the
strength of their genius was over. Raphael
after filling the world with divine beauty
persisted also at thirty seven; Mozart earlier
These might have produced still CREATES
works. On the other hand, Handel, Wa:

The multitude think that to educate a
child, is to crowd into his mind a given
amount Of knowledge, to load the memory
with words. No wonder that they think
everybody fit to teach. The true end OF
education is to unfold and direct Alright our
whole nature. Its office is to call forth pow
ers Of thought, affection, will, and outward
actions, powers to observe, to reason, to
Judge, to contfive--power to adopt good
counsels, and to pursue them, to govern our
selves and influence others, to gain and
spread happiness. The intellect was crea-
ted not TO receive passively few words,
dates and facts, but to be active for the ac-
QUESTION of truth. Education should inspire
profound love Of truth, and teach the pro-
cess Of investigation. A sound logic, by
which we mean the scienceAand art which
instructs us in the true laws OF reasoning and
evidence, is an essential part Of good edu-

his dress, and latterl he arranged his fan
nels in graceful folds. 1t need not then
detract from our respect for Erskine, that
on all occasions he desired to look smart,
and that when he went down into the corln-
try on special retaners he anxiously had
recourse to all manner Of innocent little ar
tifces to aid his purposes. He examined
the court the night before the trial in order
10 select the most advantageous place for

called the crowded audience were perhaps
kept waiting few minutes before the csle-

general appearance Of this Kind Of country

which suggest the idea Of some monstrous
Indian idols; the aloes, with their speor-like
leaves and tall scarlet spikes; the pale green
foliage Of the spekboom (portulacsria Afra,)
which is said to be the favorite food Of the
