To DE BURNT OR SWALLOWED UP.--Dr, Cum
ming, in his Apocalyptic Skctches, and many
other authors, have asserted, as their interpre-
tation of some parts of the Apocalypse, that
Rome will be destroyed by fire from heaven, or
awallowed up by earthquakes, or overwhelmed
with destruction by volcanoes, as the visible
punishment of the Almighty for its popery and
its crimes. Townsend, in his journal Of Tour,
says he is unwilling to deduce any argument Of
this kind from the prophecies which ore now
unfnlGll0d; but he beheld evsrywhere--in Rome,
near Rome, and through the whole country of
Italy from Rome to Naples-ths most astound-
ing proofs, nor merely of the possibility, bnt
of the exceeding possibility, that the whole CEN
tire of Italy will one day suffer under such
catastrophe. The soil of Rome is tufe, Of vol
canic origin; the smell of the sulpher, which
is found to be most dsagreeable, must be the
result of volcanic snbterranean action still 60
ing on. At Naples, the boiling sulpher is seen
bubbling near the surface Of tho earth; and
when stick was drawn along the ground, the
sulpherous smoke followed the identation; and
Mr.. Townsend says it would never surprise him
to hear of the utter destruction of the entire Pc
nnsula of Italy.

SOCRATES.

Lamartine, in his recent work, thus finely
discriminates The character and teachings of
Socrates -
Wisdom Of Socrates was intelligence only,
not sufficiently imbued with love. 1t reflects
Justly, but fails in sef-devotion. Personal sac
rifce, the highest consummation of virtue and
prize of truth, can scarcely be awarded to
him, despite his punishment, which was entire
ly political and not religious. Heis Il sage, but
not martyr. lie accommodates himself to the
manners, the faith, and even the feelings of his
age and country. He delivers animated and able
lectures on virtue to those who require them,
but he also discourses on vice to youths and cour-
tesans. He believes in only ono God, the Crea-
tor and Regulator of the universe, but publicly
worships the multiplied and carnal divinities,
formed after the conceptions of man. He dies
heroicalIy, but no dies for himself as much al
for truth. His very death is a fortunate incl
dent in his destiny, which he turns to advantage
with consummate intelligence. am DID, sayi
he to Xenopon, 'and nothing remains for mt
but to decay in faculties and genius. This IL
the proper moment to de- Socrates exhibited

he is always man of genius, rather than be
ing devoted to his fellow creatures. His con-
versations, although occasionally sublime, at
test this want of heavenly love in his nature
and his wisdom. He banters sometimes, he
ridicules often, he laughs always. Irony, which
renders truth itself offensive, in the inseparable
feature of his dialogues. He argues by teasing
interrogatories, as if to force his antagonist to
contradict himself; he draws him on from
point to point, hiding with dexterity the end
to which he proposes to lead him. Finally, he
confounds him in his own admission, as if truth
itself might be entangled in snare He is
always critical, scarcely ever imaginative Pla-
to, his divine disciple, has given him wings,
without which he would often creep.
From this summary, we conclude that So
crates was neither wiser, more virtuous, nor
more religious, than all the other philosophers
of antiquity, but that he was the most witty
and the most aimable of Athenian citizens;
that he knew how to think well, to speak we'll,
to die we'll but that he also knew how to live
well, and, according to our ideas, had too much
prudence in his wisdom. and too rnuch clever
ness in his virtue Charity lin its Christian
sense) had not yet appeared in the.world."

GuSPowDER-The Liverpool (England) Sand
SAYS "Some of the effects ofignited gunpowder
are wonderful. When gunpowder is. s.heaped up in
the open air and infamed, there is no report, aud
but little effect is produced. A small quantity
open and ignited in room, forces the air eat-
wards, 50 as to blow out the windows; but "a
same quantity confined with bomb, within the
same room, and ignited, tears in pieces and sets
on fire the whole house. Count Rumfora loaded
mortar with one-twentieth Of an ounce Of
powder, and placed upon it a twenty-four pound
cannon he then closed up every opening as COM
pletely as possible, and fred the chargh, which
burst the mortar with tremendous explosion,
and lifted up its enormous weight In another
experiment, Count Rumford contained twenty
eight grains of powder in a cylindrical space
which it just filed and upon being fred it tore
asunder piece of iron which would have resist
ed a strain of four hundred thousand pounds

The IDLER.-The idle man is an annoyance
a nuisance. He is of no benefit to anybody.
He is an intruder in the busy thoroughfares Of
everyday life. He stands in our path, and we
push him contemptously aside He is of no
advantage to anybody. He annoys busy men.
He makes them unhappy. He is q unit in So
ciety He may have an income to support him
in idleness, or he may sponge" on his good
natured friends. But in either case he is des-
pissed. Young man, do something in this busy,
bustling, wide-awake world Move about fol
for the benefit of mankind, if not for yourself
Do not be idle. Gods law is, that by the swea'
Of our brow we shall earn our bread. That
law is a good one, and the bread we earn is sweet
Do not be idle Minutes are too precious to b.
squandered thoughtlessly. Every man and eve
ry woman, however exalted, or however hum
BILE, can do good in this short life if so inclined
therefore, do not be idle.

to them collectively; and Suwarrow immediate
ly despatched special csurier to inform Prince
Potemkin of the completion of that " act of
faith and homage by the intoxicated Tarters.
Doubts, however, were not long in suggesting
themselves to the mind Of General Suwarrow as
to the degree of binding force which an oath,
however solemn in itself, or impressively ad-
ministered. could be expected to have upon the
consciences of men who, i" he was grievd to dis
cover, were entirely destitute Of religious reve-
rence;" the result of which was an under
standing between him and Prince Potemkin, that
all the tribes Of Nogay Tartars should be grad
ualiy removed to the wilds of Ural, and
that in the meantime they should be, as
opportunity offered, as quietly as possible, and
under PLAUSIBLE pretexts, disarmed. This scheme
went on prosperOusly for some time but at last
a large body Of Nogays, on their way to the
Ural steppes, suddenly refused to move further
in thai direction overpowered and broke away
from the escort, and fed for shelter to the auth
west bank Of the Kuban, in the plains Of Cau-
cassia, Suwarrow pursued them thither, with
the determination of taking signal vengeance
upon the "oath breaking infdels-a promise
which he thoroughly redeemed. By day break
on the morning of September H. 1882 a large
encampment of Nogays was discovered-wheth-
er the precise delinquents he was in quest of,
the general did not stop to inquire--and present.
ly the Russian squadrons burst upon the sur
prised and defenceless tribe, sand the mas
sacre," we read, Continued till noon'-till in
fact, there were none left to slay, all-men,
women and children-having been destroyed by
Snwarrow's express orders, "they being Goddess
beathcns, who did not respect their oaths! "
This terrible example, if VIC may believe the
Russian historian, produced the desired effect !;
and the enforced migration of tho Nogays en-
countered no further opposition. Catharine
soon afterward sent the successful general the
Grand Cross Of the Equestrian Order of St.
Wolodimir, "as public testimony of our ap-
probation of the zeal and activity you have
displayed in our service, and particularly in
tho commission you have borne under the direc-
tion of our general, Prince Potcmkin, for the
reunion of the verious nations Of the Russian
Empire" Suwarrow returned to St. Peters
burgh in 1885, after having thoroughly "paci-
fed' the Nogay Bey-a great eater, who drank
pure sage-brandy with his meals, and was al
ways carried by his servants to bed--the Rus
sian general regarded with great attachmen
and esteem, and took leave of with many ex
pressions of affectionato regret.
