The Roman Bed Time.

An immense majority of men in Rome
never light a candle, unless sometimes in
the early dawn. Aud this custom of Rome
was the custom of all the nations that lived
around the great pond of the Mediterra-
mean. In Athens, Egypt, Palestine, Asia
Minor, everywhere the ancients went to
bed like good boys, from seven to nine o.
clock. The Turks aud other people, who
have succeeded to the habits aud stations of
the ancients, do so to this day.
The Roman, therefore, who saw no joke
in sitting around the table in the dark, went
off to bed as soon rs the darkness began
Every body did So Old Numa Pompllius
himself was obliged to trundIe himself off
in the dusk. Tarquinius might be very
superb fellow; but we doubt whether he
ever saw farthing rushlght. And, though
it may be thought that plots and couspra-
cies would flourish in such city of dark
ness. 1t is to be considered the conspIrators
themselves had no more candles than honest
men-both parties were in the dark.
Being up then, and stirring not long after
the lark, what mischief did the Roman 90
about first? Nowadays he would have
taken pipe or cigar. But. alas for the
ignorance cf the poor heather creatures
they had neither the one nor the other. In
this point, we must tax our mother earth
with being really TOO stingy. la the case
of the candles, we approved of her parsimo-
n.y. Much mischief IS brewed by CANDLE
light. But, it was coming it too strong to
/ allow no tobacco. Many wild fellow in
Rome, your Gracchi, Syllas, Caiilines,
would not have played b and Tommy
in the way they did, if they could have sooth-
ed their angry stomachs with a cigar-a pipe
has intercepted many an evil scheme. But
the thing is past helping now. At Rome.
you must do as " they does" at Rome. DE

beneficial Effects of Tea.

Tea is more and more becoming a ne
cessary of life ia all classes. Tea was de-
nounced first as a poison and then as an eX-
travaqance Goblet was furious against 1t.
An Edinburgh reviewer ia lc23 keeps no
terms with its use by the poor" We ven-
ture to asser: that when a laboter fancles
himself refreshed with mess of this stun,
sweetened by the coarsest black sugar, aud
azure blue milk, 1t IS only the warmth OF
the water that sooIhes him Tor moment
unless, indeed the sweetness be palatable
also" Ii is dangerous for great reviewers
10 "yentuye to assert" La few Yeas al
tory ards comes l.lebig with his chemical
discoveries, and demonstrates that coffee
aud tea have become necessaries OF lille TO
all nations, by the presence OF one and the
same substance in both vegetables, which
has peculiar effect upon the animal sys-
ten; that they we're both originally met
with amongst nations whose diet Is chety
vegetable and, by contributing to the Tor
nation of bile, their peculiar functions have
become a substitute for animal food IN
large class of the population whose con-
sumption of meat is very limited, aud TO an
other class who are unable to take regular
exercise. Tea and coffee then are more es-
sentlal to the poor. They supply VOID
which the pinched laborer cannot 50 reddl-
" 6ll up with weak aud sour ale they are
substitutes for the country walk to the lac
tory girl or seamstress in the garrett. They
are ministers to temperance; they are home
comforts. Mrs. Pozzi making tea Tor
johnson until four o'clock in the morning,
aud listening conteniedy to his wondrous
talk, is pleasant anecdote Of the first cen
tury Of tea; the artizan's wife lingering
over the last evening cup, while her hus-
band READS the newspaper or his book, IS
something higher, which belongs to our own
times. "-Dickeas household Words.

DWARF TREES.
A FEW PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS.

Whole orchards, too, oithese dwarf trees.
pear trees in particular. are being planted
for the growth of fruit for the market and
when we consider that not one out of hun
dred will die IN planting 800 tn 500
may he put on an acre Of ground, and that
in two or three years at most they begin to
bear-we do not see why they will not be
profitable. Many also very ludiciously fill
the spaces between standard pear and apple
tree with pyramidal pear trees on ounce
stock, considering that at the end of twelve
or fifteen years when their standard trees
have come into full bearing, and the dwarf
trees begin to be in the way, they can very
well afford to cast them off This system
Of managing orchards is extensively prac-
tlsed in France, where orchards aud fruit
gardens are models for the wosId. Il can
not but be highly advantageous in this coun-
trv a, least IN all the older districts, where
land is valuable, and fruit growing an I'M
portant pursuit. An orchard Of FIVE acres,
for example, viii, at thirty feet apar, each
way, contain but two hundred and forty-two
standard trees
Among these We can put in seven hun
dred and twenty-slx dwarf or pyramdal
trees, at fifteen feet distance all around. -
Until the eighth or tenth year, the standard
trees will yield nothing worth reckoning
upon but from the third or fourth year, the
dwarf will yield considerable income aud
by the seventh or eighth year, they will pro-
duce not less than from 81 to "a worth per
tree.
A few years ago, nobody sought for dwarf
trees. Scarcely anybody knew of such
things. The tall standard, with a bare
trunk six or eight feet high, was the only
sort Of tree recognized for all sorts Of Cir
cumstances. The little village garden OF
80 by 20, or the orchard Of twenty acres,
were placed upon precisely the same foot
( ing in this respect. The consequence was,
that small gardens were entirely unavaila-
/ Die to fruit culture, beyond lew gooseberry
or currant bushes and thousands and tens
of thousands of our citizens. IN all parts OF
the country, who will IN a few years have
charming little gardens of dwarf trees, were
quietly excluded from all the pleasures aud
profit which this interesting culture cannot
fail to yield
/ People everywhere in our cities and vii
lagos who have but small lot of ground
to cultivate, are very naturally delighted
with trees, admirably adapted to circum
stances. Old people, too, who could no
reasonably hope to reap the fruit OF stand
ard trees that never yield in less than six Oh
ten years, are planting dwarf, because IL
two years at most, they may gather then
fruits Thus, two large classes OF persons
heretofore quite excluded from fruit culture
are now brought III, and are in fact lh'
lnosl active.

The Tiger and Dog.

In Saigon, where dogs are dog cheap, we
used to give the tigress one every day

rating the jug1iar arteries, while she would
traverse the cage, the bars of hich she
dashed with her tail, and suck the blood of
her prey, which hung suspended from her
mouth. One day puppy, not at all renar-
kable, or distinguished IN appearance from
the common herd, was thrown in, who inn
nedialely on pereeiyIng his situation, set
up a dismal yell and attacked the tigress
with great fury, swapping al her nGse, from
which he drew some blood. The tigtess
appeared to be amused with the puny rage
of the puppy, and with as good humored an
expression of countenance as SO ferociOus
an animal could be supposed to assume, she
affected to treat it as all plays and some
times spreading herself at foil length on her
side at others crouching IN the manner of
the labled sphynx, she would ward off with
her paw the incensed li,tle animal, till she
was finally exhausted. She then proceeded
to caEess him, endeayoring 10y many arts to
inspire him with confidence, IN which she
finally succeeded, aud in short time they
lay down together and slept. From this
time they were inseparable, the tlgress APP
peared to feel for the puppy all the solicit
tude of a mother, aud tie dog, IN return
treating her with the greatest affection; and
a small aperture was left open in the cage,
by which he had free ingress and egress.-
Experiments were subsequently made, BY
presenting "a strange dog "a, the bars of the
cage, when the tgress would manifest great
eggerness to get al it her adopted child
was then thrown in, on which she would
eagerly pounce; but Immediately discover
mg the cheat, she would caress It with
great tenderness. The natives made sever
al unsuccessful efforts TO steal tins dog.

Number of the Stars.

vi the stars percelyabie at any one time
by the naked eye, the number can scarcely
be said 10 exceed a few thousands bat in
a powerful telescope they are prodigiousIy
multiplied. There are many clusters Of
stars which " contain" says Sir John Her
schcl, at least ten or twenty thousand stars
compressed and wedged together in an area
not exceeding the tenth part Of that cover
ed by the moon" In zone not exceeding
two degrees in breadth, but including a por-
ton of the Milky Way, the estimated num-
Der which passed through the field Of Sir
William Herschel's telescope in a single
hour, was fifty thousand. On account Of
their irregular distribution, this estimate
affords very imperfect datum for inferring
the whole number of the "starry host !"
bat IT has been supposed that no fewer than
scyeuiy-hve millIoas may be visible through
a good telescope. Baron Zach, indeed.
was Of opinion that there may be thous-
and millions in the entire heavens. These,
however, it is obvious, are mere fanciiul
conjectures, yet, 1t is probable, that they
are rather under than over estimates
Il" Every increase" saws Sir John Herschel,
" in the dimensions and power of instru-
nients, telescopes which successive i'm
proyements in optical science have attain
ed, has brought in view multitudes of innu-
merable objects invisible before so that,
for any thing experience has hitherto taught
Us, the number of the stars may be really
infinite in the only sense in which we can
assign meaning to the word"

Rewards of Regard to Justice.

Chief Justice Royce, of Vermont, while
practiclng law was proyerbial for his re-
spectfu treatment Of his opponents eviden-
ces while cross-eXaminIng them. lie would
point out to the Jury the discrepancy in
their testimony, avoiding assailing and ira
ducing their characters. lie was also re-
markab for declining acting as counsel IN
any case where to be true TO his client he
must lend his influence To weaken rather
than strengthen regard for equity. lie
has long been elevated to the highest place
in the judiciary of his native State.
Only few days ago heard from the lips
Of an ex-GoveTnor of one of the largest and
most wealthy States in the Union, what he
considered the principal reason OF his sue
cess as lawer and his subsequent eleva-
ton to the GubernatorIal chair. lie said
before he commenced the practice OF law
he was convinced that well designed per-
sons were very liable to Judge too favorably
of their own case, SO that when he was APP
Piled TO for counsel, he invariably noted
down in short hand all the prominent iea-
lures of the alledged case with a synopsis
of what the alleged evidence would be, and
great care was taken that this should be as
correctly stated as possible, and II, as not
unlrequeniy appeared, his client was legal
ly right but morally wrong, he would iorego
the fee aud urge a settlement by referees or
otherwise rather than by law At all events
he would not act as legal counsel in such a
case. By adhesion To such IA course he
rarely failed to induce an amicabie settle

when he was employed he rarely lost it,
