WHY THE RoMAEs WENT TO BED EARLY
History tells US that ancient Rome even
in times of festival, was as quiet as the
grave after the closing of night-a fact that
De Quincy thus accounts for:
They went to bed early simply because
their mother earth could not afford them
candles. She, good Old lady, or young lady
Qor biologists know not whether she is in
that state Of her progress which corresponds
to gray hairs, or to infancy; or a certain sge.)
she. good lady, would certainly have shnd-
dered to hear aBy of her nations inquiring
for candles. Candles indeed T. she would
say. who ever heard of such a thing and
with so much excellent daylight running to
waste as l have provided gratis What will
tho wretcbes want next? The Romans
therefore who saw no joke in sitting around
table in the dark. went off to bed as the
dar kness began. Every body did so. Old
Numa Pompilius himself was obliged to
truddle off in the dusk. Tarquinius may
have been superb fellow: but l doubt
whether he ever saw farthing rush-light.
And though it may be thought that plots
and conspiraces would flourish in city of
darkness, it is to be considered that the con-
spirators themselves had DO more candles
than honest men both parties were in the
dark. r

Artsnus Ward, one of whose peculiar
tiles a. lecturer Is that be touches upon
almost every conceivable subject except
the subject of bis lecture, Is delivering q
lecture on 'GHosrs'', which be concludes
with capital hit at the disunionists North
and South. 1.-THE last scbject Of which l
thought" says Artemus. "was the war.
When was an apprentice to the printing
business. in New Hampshire, having had
controversy with my employer, ran away:
] had no money, and could not beg, so
called At farmhouse aud asked If they
had any clocks to mend. They said yes,
and wished I would fix it. I took the
clock to pieces ate my dinner and then
looked at the table, where lay the countless
Wheels knew that never could put
that clock together again. So [ told the
folks was dizzy, and would go out and
get some fresh air, and fed across the
meadows like the brighG-eyed gazelle, or
anything else that goes quick 1ITaos poll
tieians ioho iOent to t0ork to- take the Union
clock to pieces to set their dinners never meant
to put IL together again. They haze stolen
their dinner, but they t0iu not restore the clock
/ haven't told you much about the ghosts,
and IL is late now that there is not time.
But shall speak in San Francisco in. about
four weeks from this time, and all who
hold tickets to this lecture will be admit
ted Free" By the way, we suppose the
engagement mentioned in this last sentence
IL the one upon the tapis when Artemus,
being Intercepted by telegraph from San
Francisco as to ,ohat he l0ould take. replied
by the return lightning: brandy and
weter!" But to return.
The hit Of the inimitable Snowman" is
o palpable one. The radical politicians
North and South. as the Buffalo Courier
says. had a jubiIant time together, year
or two ago, taking the Union clock to
pieces. They could not do their internal
work quickly enough "Without a little
blood letting" said Jack Chandler, of
MiehigsD, "this Union will not. in my es-
tjmation, be worth curse" Let the
Union slide" said others Of the black
hearted gang. And those who foresaw the
consequences of their paricidai efforts were
"weak" womanly Union savers" of whom
Massach usetts Wilson said scoffngly:
"This sitting up With the Union does not
paw expenses" And so, piece by piece, !
wheel by wheel, they took tho Union clock |
to pieces The Southern rebels who took |
part In the operation have made nothing
by 1t, but heNorthern disunionists, inclu-
ding ofice-holders Of all grades, civil and |
military, contractor. &C., &C., are now "di-
ning' gluttoDously at the nations expense.
And the country has the broken, disjointed |
"clock" upon its hands, which the radical
quacks in clock-mending never meant, and |
never mean to put together again. And, |
strange as it may seem. the only "loyal"
and unconditional Union" men now in |
the country are the bogus elock-menders
