CHAPTER VI.


Among the remains with which the site of
ancient Rome abounds at the present day, not
the least curious and exciting are the burying
places Of her dead Hence, there are few
strangers who do not find it convenient to
spend al least day among her tombS.
These are mostly found outside the walls. as
few were allowed the honor OF being buried
within the city. Their tombs line the sides OF
the great roads beyond, thus greeting the stran-
ger as he enters, or leaves this vast museum of
departed magnifcence and glory; and impress
his mind, at once, with the mortality Of man,
and the vanity of earth.
The most celebrated of these are found
along the Appian way-lining it, on either
side, for great distance. Here, the stranger
is seen wandering along in thoughtful silence
gazing, with strange and melancholy in
terest, upon the decayed dreceptacles of the ash
OF once great and magnanimous people.
As he passes along, his curiosity, perhaps,
leads him to enter labyrinth OF winding pas
sages cut out OF the soft tufa rock. Follow
ing closely his guide, with a dim taper in his
hand, he observes here and there . number of
dead. This is the tomb of the Scipios'. 1t is
now, however, tenantless-the bones and ashes
of its illustrious sleepers having long since
been dug up and removed.
Emerging from this, the stranger passes
familyvaults, ,rnausoIeums, strange looking cir
cular towers, and decayed masses of brick
work, till, at length, he arrives at the Church
of St. Sebastian.
Here, perhaps guided by an old monk, ear
rying tall wax candle in his hand, he de-
scends long fight of steps, leading abruptly
into the bowels of the earth. His heart beats
and his limbs tremblc as he slowly and cauti-
ously finds his way, from step to step. AT
length he finds himself at the foot of the rude
earthcn strair-way, many feet under ground
Here pausing, and casting his eys around
him, he sees 4 series OF dark, winding passag-
es cut horrizontaly in the rock, branching and
running off in all directions, and just high and
wide enough to admit the passage of the body.
These are the Catacombs. When, or for
what purpose, these immense subterranean ex-
cavations were made is uncertain 1t is well
known, however, that they were used BY the
early christians in times OF persecution. for the
purpose Of solemnizing the rites of their reIi-
gion, and also as place for depositing the
dead bodies or ashes of their martyred brethren.
1t is credibly stated that their aItars remain
to this day, and that the rough, rocky walls
around and above are still black with the
smoke of their lamps, while in the reeesses of
the walls have been found the remains of one
hundred and eighty thousand martyrs.
Their extent, says recent tourist, almost
exceeds belief. One is said 10 extend as far
As Ustia, distance Of sixteen miles and the
circuit of the whole TO exceed sixty miles

GENTLE BLUE-EYED HAIDEE

BY J. l.. CIsT.
Way down in Sangamonna county.
Where Sangamonna river flows
When summer comes in all her bounty
Ripe with each fruit and flower that blows
All up and down the wild, wild prairie,
Ten thousand blossoms scent the air
Twas there loved a charming fairy,
Herself the sweetest flower there
Gentle blue-eyed Haidee,
Loved Natures child
No flower so sweet and fair you Il meet
In all the prairiewild
Straight as an arrow. tall an slender,
All 1.-the and graceful was her form
Meek childs her spirit tender,
Her soul with rich reflections warm
Bright an angels wing her beauty,
Fair as the round full moon her face
To her pleasure seemed each duty,
and every motion grace.
Gentle. graceful Haidee,
Fair Natures child
No flower you Il meet that's half co sweet
In all the prairie wild
Thus. through the summer brightly blooming
Glad ming the sunshine and the air,
How could 1 dream of frosts entombing
Her, sweet wild wood blossom fair,
But when the flowers she'd loved and cherished
Touched by chill autumn, dropped and died,
With their last fading bloom she perished
And there I laid her by their side
Loved and parted Haideel
Dear Natures child;
You'll never meet with flower moro sweet
In all the prairie wild

The Winter Of the Hears.

Let it never come upon you. 1--we so that
| good angels may protect you from this terrible
evil-the winter ofthe heart.
Let no chilling influence freeze up the foun-
| dations ofsympathy and happiness in its depths;
no cold burthen settle over itswithered hopes.
| like snow on the faded flowers; no rude blasts
of discomfort moan and Shrek through It's des-
olate chambers.
Your life-path may lead you amid trials,
which for a time seem utterly to impede your
progress, and shut out the very lightof heaven
from your anxious gaze.
Penury may take the place Of ease and plen-
ty; your luxurious home may be exchanged for
Il single, lowly room--the soft couch for the
straw pallet-the rich yiands for the coarse
food of the poor. Summer friends may for
sake you, and the Implying world pass YOU
with scarcely look or word Of compassion.
You may be forced to toll wcarily, steadily
on, to earn livelihood; you may encounter
fraud and the base avarice which would extort
the last firthing, till youweIl-nigh turn in dis
gust from your fellow-beings.
Death may sever the dear ties that bind you
to earth, and leave You in fearful darkness
That noble. manly boy, the sole hope of your
declining years, may be taken from you, while
your spirit clings to him with a wild tenacity,
which even the shadow Of the tomb cannot
wholly subduc.
But amid all these sorrows, do not come to
the conclusion that nobody was ever so deep
ly afflicted as you are, and abandon every
sweet anticipation of :.better days. in the un-
known future.
DO not lose your faith in human excellence
because your confidence has sometimes been
betrayed, nor believe that friendship is only a
delusion, and love a bright phantom which
glidcs away from your grasp.
Dc not think that you are fated to be miser-
able because you are disappointed in your eX-
pcctations, and bsftlcd in your pursuits. Do
not declare that God has forsaaen you, when
your way is hedged about with thorns, or re-
pine sinfully, when he calls your dear ones to
the land beyond the grave.
Keep holy trust in heaven through every
trial; bear adversely with fortitude, and look
upward In hours Of temptation and suffering.
When yourlocks are white, your eyes dim, and
your limbs weary; when your steps falter
the verge of Deaths gloomy vale, still retain
the freshness and buoyancy of spirit, which
will shield you from the winter of the heart.

ia lawyer of Poughkeepsie was applied
to during his lifetime, by an INDECENT neigh
Dor, for his opinion on question of law in
which the interest of the latter were material
ly involved The lawyer gave his advice and
charged the poor fellow three dollars for it,
'sThere is the money! said the client, s.it
is all have in the world, and my family has
been long time without pork
''Thank God!'' replied the lawyer, ''my
wife never knew the want of pork since we
were married.
ssNor never will, - the countryman rejoined,
so long as she has sucn great hog as you.''
The lawyer was so pleased with the smart
ness of his repartee that he forgave the poor,
fellow and returned the money.

Poor Rich ard.

Fyou would know the value of money, go
and try to borrow some; for he that goes a
borrowing goes a sorrowing, as Poor Richard
people, when he goes to get it again. Poor
Dick farther advises, and says;
Fond pride of dress is very curse;
Ere fabric you consult, consult your Purse =
And again, pride is as loud begger as
want, and great deal more saucy.'' When
you have bought one fine thing, yon must buy
ten more, that your appearance may be all of a
piece: but Poor Dick says, .eIt is easier to
suppress the first desire, than to satisfy all
that follow it," And it is as truly folly for the
poor to ape the rich, as for the frog to swell
in order to equal the OK.
yesSels large may venture more,
b But little boats should keep near shore"
1t is, however, folly soon punished: for, as
Poor Richard says, ..Prde that dimes on van
ity, sups on contempt; Pride breakfasted with
Plenty, dined with poverty, and supped with
infamy.2 And after all, of what use is this
pride of appearance, for which SO much is
risked, SO much is suffered 1t cannot pro-
mote health, or ease pain: it makes no increase
OF merit IN the person, III creates envy. II mas
tens misfortune. s4..
But what madness it must be to run in debt
for these superiuities Weare offered by the
terms ofthis sale, six months credit; and that,
perhaps, has induced some of US to attend it,
because we cannot spare the ready money, and
hope to be fine without it, But ah! think what
you do when you run in debt you give to
another power over liberty, If you cannot
pay at the time, you will be ashamed to see
your creditor; you will be in fear when you
speak to him, you will make poor, pitiful,
sneaking excuse, and, by degrees, come to lose
your veracity, and sink into base, downright
lying; for, ..the second vice lying, the first is
running in debt" as Poor Richard SAYS; and
again, to the same purpose, sslying rides upon
debts back; whereas a freeborn Englshman
ought not to be ashamed or afraid to see or
speak to any man living. But poverty often
deprives man OF all spirit and virtue. sIt
is hard for an empty bag to stand upright -
Dir. Franklin.
