Roses IN Former IGmes-Among the
ancients, to enjoy tho scent of roses at
meals, all abundance Of rose leaves was
shaken upon the table, so that the dishes
were completely surrounded. By an inge.
NOUS contrivance, roses, during meals, des.
cended on the guests from above. Heioga.
balus, in his folly, caused violets and roses
10 be showered down upon tho guests in
such quantities, that number OF them, be.
ing unable to extricate themselves, were
sufocated in flowers. During mcal-times,
they reclined upon cushions stuffed with
rose leaves, or made of the leaves them
selves. The floor, too, was strewed will,
roses, and in this custom great luxury was
displayed. Cleoptra, at an enormous ex-
peuse, procured roses for feast which she
gave to Antony {; had them laid two cubits
thick OIL tho floor of'the banquet room,
and then caused nets to be spread over the
flowers, in order to render the footing elas-
tic. Heliogabalus caused not only the
banquet rooms, but also the colonades that
led to them, to be covered with roses, in
tespsrsed with lilies, violets and mar,
cissi.

La6tachcs Presence of Mind.-When
last at Naples he was sent for to the pal

i'll TO his majesty, converscd with the cour-
tiers in attendance. Having a cold in his
head he requested permission to keep on
his hat. Getting into full discourse, he was
startled by tho gentleman in waiting crying
out, :" His majesty demands the presence of
Sig. Lablachc." In his eagerness to obey
the royal summons he forgot the hat he
had on his head, and, snatching up another,
thus entered the kings cabinet. Being re-
ceved with most hearty laugh, LaJache
was confoundcd, but at length recovered
himself, and respectfully asked his majesty
what had excited his hiIarity "My dear
Lablachc," replied the king, "pray tell me
which Of the two hats you have got with
you is your own, that on your head or that
in your hand ? Or, perhaps you have
brought both as matter Of prccaution in
case you should leave one behind YOU g.
"Ah ! maledctta," replied Lablache, with
an air Of ludicrous distress, on discovering
his etourdcrie, "two hats are, indeed, too
many for man who has no head"

ANEcDorE OF NAPOLEON AND THE LADIES

DR.; Baird, ina late lecture at St. Louis,
related an amusing anccdo,e Of Napoleon
ic Grondc and the ladies who attended bis
first grand reception ball at the Tuillcries.
The old nobility had departed, and every
thing was new. The invited guests were
mostly military officers and their wives.-
Some two thousand ladies were present.
When supper time came, they, of course,
took precedence ofthe gentlemen. A ques.
tion arose WHO had the right to 90 in first.
The great dining-room hall was thrown
open, admitting them, and the doors were
then closed, and the officers of the palace
aound it impossible to open them. The dis.
pute among the ladies grew warm. One
lady said the right was hers, as her husband
was u great General; but she soon found
that others maintained, on one ground or
the other, that their claims were greater
Meanwhile the officers could not get the
door open, and i'll CONSERVATION one of them
hastcned to the First Consul, and asked him
how they should settle the question of pre-
cedence. "Oh," says Bonaparte, "nothing
IS easier, tell them that the eldest is to 90
first" The officer rel ortcd to the ladies
the first Consul's decision, and nstan tly
they all fell back! This gave the officers
IN opportunity to get the doors open, when,
TO their astonisllmcnt, none of the ladies
wcro willing TO so frst After standing in
that position for moment they began to
laugl heartily ut their own folly, and all
marched into the dining hall without delay
This, said DIR. Baird, is one Of the thous-
and and one stories they tell in Paris of the
"Grcat Napoleon," to illustrate the rcadi-
ness Of his wit.

BURIAL OF A GREEK BISHOP AT CAIRO.

BURIAL OF A GREEK BISHOP AT CAIRO
Yesterday Il patriarch died, and to day |
We went out to witness tho funeral process
sion with the thousands; gathered in the
streets; but we saw II great many sights
among the Arabs stealing the wax candles
from the officers, who bear them along
lighted to tho tomb. The sword and the
bayonet were raised to quiet the mob. At
length the grand procession was seen ad
vancing in great splendor. A large car,
drawn by six black horses, upon which the
corpse, in recumbent position, was borne
under a canopy, dressed in his robes of
state, with a golden mitre upon his head,
elevated upon cushions so high that we could
SEQ him distinctly with his long flowing
beard, as if asleep; 4 bishop behind as if
supporting the head, dressed in his Greek
costume shining with gold +; other priests in
clerical robes at his side, and before the car
were many more with long robes, Of differ
ercnt colors and badges Of mourning, Chant
ing as they went, bearing ornamental glass
lamps with lights in them. Two bands Of
music, Of Il military character, were in the
procession. 1t WAS strange and rcpulsivc
sight.
We were told that the corpse was carried
to the Greek church and seated in chair
as if alive, that tho priests advanced and
kissed his hand after which sermon was
preached and his virturcs culogized After
the sermon his embroidered robes were re-
moved leaving him clad in white satin.-
The people were then privcllcgcd to ad-
vanccd and kiss his foot, or robe, or any
other part Of his garments. lie was then
conveyed to the tomb below, placed up
right III chair, to remain in that position
unmolcstcd in the solitude of death until
another bishop dies, when the crypt is open
ed for his reception III the same manner
They arc thus seated around the Walt until
decomposition changes their attitude in
mou!lering away. 1t is twelve years since
one has been inferred in this dreadful char
mel house.-7homas' Letters from tile East.
Pure zHouyhts.-Purity Of thought con-
sists in that which is free from :ll cvil.-
There is nothing that purity can better be
compared to than the Dew drop, or the Lily.
Those who are the most pious, and who de
vote most Of their time to religious service
Lave generally the purest thoughts. When
i'll childhood our thoughts are much purcr
than when we are advanced in years; and
no doubt there arc great many who would
never speak evil were it not from example.
We should always try to avoid the great
evil of speaking i'll of any person; for we al
ways have very unpleasant feelings after we
think about it: and know that we have tried
to injurc one of our friends. And by
avoiding this great evil, we would always
have quiet conscience. The Bud is much
purer than the full-blown Rose.
The Garden of Eden was all peacc and
purity, till sin entered in, and then after all
this, all was confusion.

cecds well in life, and that even when per-
sons Of ability sometimes fail. The famous
Duke of Marlborough is case in point 1t
WAS said of linn by one contemporary that
his agreeable manners often converted an
enemy into u friend and, by another, that
1t was more pleasing to be denied favor
by his Grace than to receive one from
other men. The gracious manner Of Charles
james Fox preserved him from personal
dislike even at 4 time when he was POLITICAL
ly the most unpopular man in the kingdom.
The history Of the country is full of such
examples of success obtained by civility.
The experience Of every man furnishes, if
we but recall the past, frequent instances
where conciliatory manners have made the
fortunes of physicians, lawyers, divncs,
politicians, merchants, and indeed indvid-
uals of all pursuits. On being introduced
to stranger, his atfability, or the reverse
creates instantaneously prejudice against
him. Tomcn, civilty is, in fact, what beauty
