Why TIE RoMASs WENT TO BED RAHLY,-In
one Of the late London papers We find the fol
lowing reasons why" BY Dr. QuinIs-
"They went TO bed early in those ages sinp
because their worthy mother earth could no.
afford them candles. She, good old lady, (or
good young lady, for geOlOgists know nc.
whether she is in that stage Of her progress
which corresponds to gray hairs, or to infancy
or to "a certain age she, good lady, would
certainly have shuddered to hear any of her
nations inquiring for candles. candles, in,
desdl' she would have said. "who ever heard
Of such thing? and with SO much ezcellen.
lightrunning 10 waste as have provided
gratisl what will the Wretches want nsxt?"
The Romans, therefore, who saw no joke in
sitting round table in the dark, went OF to
bed as the darkness began. Every body did
so. Old Numa Pompilius himself was obliged
to trundle off in the dark. Tarquinius may
have been very superb fellow but doubt
whether he ever saw a frthing rush-light
Aud though it NAV be thought that plots and
conspiracies would flourish in such q city Of:
darkness, it is to be considered that the con-
spirators themselves had no more candles ShanA
honest men both parties were in the dssk."
