Furniture Among the AncI ,nt-.

A very general opinion prevails that the rich
folk Of ancient days were rather a poor set OF
fellows in comparison with our modern nabObs;
and that they could not afford TO buy decent
chairs and tables for their parlors. We arc also
liable 10 lift up our hands in astonlshment at the
Domestic rNtiayaganCe sometimes displayed at
'ns prestn day, and TO consider that this is the
go SUP, ll'iVl Of foolish oXpsudtur,s for fancy
hits Of hous, hold garnishinss. We rather think
that with all the pu lie sell.compl cency for
modern piar dour, the old Romans would take
Il shine" out Of US, in tho table line at any
ate. Pliny states that Cicero once paid about
10 O0J for a fancy table Of citrus wool, and

I,i ing eNpo-ed at auction, was kno o'ktd down

as a Roman lawyer we wOuli like 10 know
mich OF his disciples in New York could aiiorl
IN present such comfortable table n l.s anil-
lie spouse at this day. Among the Greeks and
Romans there existed, for period Of l5O years,
ruling passion TO possess beautiful tables OF
citrus wood, the finer specimens Of which wcre
compared 20 gold for their value. The veins Of
this wood nun in spirals and wayy lines, and
these rich and brilliant in their ColOrs, being a
mixture Of wine and honey cOlOred veins. Its
polsh, without any varnsh, was brilliant as
glass. Il had fragrant Odor, and for this rel'
| ION il was sometimes employed in religious
| sacrifices and for statues of the heathen gods
| A knowledge Of the tree from which this iamou
| wood was obtained, has been lost for centuries
but a correspondent Of the London BuILDEI
states that it is the cdHitrS guddiUdlvis or will,

most fancy pieces employed in the ancient table
were obtained from excre cences or kuots
