THE ROMAN EMPEsRO)RS S,
- BY JOHN 8. 20. ABBOTT. Nam. 3.
Galba, Ohio, vitellius, vespasian, Titus

I'D \ ''1,.0 / q .--- 4 = - aT4 -TI1'
In the hour when Nero, the murderer
of others, died, stained with the guilt of
his own blood, Servius Galba, the govern
or of Spain, was on the march to over
throw the tyrant. Galba was seventy-two
years old and childless Conscious that,
from his age, he was not qualified to as
sumo the burden Of the empire Of the
world, he wished to place upon the throne
a2young man of rare virtue, by the name
of Piso. But the dissolute Roman SOL
.diers did not wish for such a man.
There was a young demagogue, . military
officer by the name Of Ohio, ready in all
respects to pander to the depravity Of that
most diabolical band of men earth has
ever known, Roman army. He assured
the soldiers that 'Piso like Galba, would
restrain their indulgences, and that such
virtue as they aspired to was not fit for
sucha world as this. b With these repre-.
sentations he raised an Instruction, The
soldiers rushed into the tent Of Galba.--
One blow of broadsword severed his
head, and it fell upon the floor. "A pike
was thrust, into it, and the CORY trophy
was paraded through the campo The
senate, oyerawed by the army, ratified this
foul deed, and declared Ohio Emperor!
This, was in the year, Gil lGalbai had
reigned but three months ar ,4oGJaI sod

ions of Nero. His wife was beautiful
woman. he abandoned her, leaving her
in the palace Of Nero, and received in en-
change the command Of province in
Spain. This. unhappy woman died of d
kick, she received from Nero. There was
at this time, in commander Roman mr..

by the name Of Aulus Vitellius. He was

Unmarried Eadics.

The single state is no diminution Of
the beauties and the utilities Of the re-
male character on the contrary, our
present life would lose many Of the
comforts end much, likewise, Of what is
absolutely essential to the we'll being of
every part Of society and even of the
private home, without the unmarried ie
male. The single woman is as imporio
ant an element of social and private
happiness as the married woman. The
utilities of each are different; but it ia

feeling, and discredilable to every just

EkhnIalion OF Plnnts.

( 1t is a well known scientific fact that
plants emit or throw off through their
leaves, certain quantities of moisture
which is taken from the soil by the roots,
The quantity or amount thus exhnIed
depends upon the state Of the atmos,
phere, being greater during the day, and
when the cir is dry and hot, or when the
sun.shines, and less in the night and
damp weather. The health ofall plants
are dependent to greater or less extent
upon the free performances OF this func.
ton, and many of their diseases are due
TO its disarrangement. Hence it is easy
TO understand why drouth is so inj uri-
uds-if there is no water in the soil,
none can be emitted through the leaf, and
its arrangements are disturbed.
Evergreens transpire less than decid
ious plants. By experiment Dr.. Hales
found that a cabbage emitted half its
weight daily; a sunAower three feet high
emitted pound and fourteen ounces a
day, and spcarmini transpired one and
a quarter times its weight day This
exhaIation takes place from the upper
surface of the leaves, while absorption
takes place from both upper and lower,
varying in different plants Maine
