DREAMING AND DOING.

al have done at length with dreaming -honee-
forth, 0h, thou soul of mine,
Thou must take up sword aud gauntlet, waging
warfare most Divine.
Life is struggle, victory wherefore have slum-
bered on.
With my forces all unmarshaled, with my weap-
ons all undrawn 2
Oh, how many glorious record had the an
gels of me kept,
Had I done, instead of doubted, had war
red instead or wept.
Yet, my soul, look not behind thee, thou hast
work to do at last;
Let the brave toll of the present, overreach the
crumbled past!
Build thy great acts higher, build them on the
conquered sod,
Where thy weakness first fell bleeding, aud thy
FIRST prayer rose to God"

THE MAIDEN,s PRAYER.

She rose from her delicious sleep,
And put away her sof, brown hair,
Aud, in tone as low aud deep
As loves drst whisper, brcathed prayer
Her suowwhito hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast
Just swelling with the charms 1t hid.
And from her long aud flowing dress
Escaped a bare aud snowy foot,
Whose step upon the earth did press
Like a sweet snowflake, soft aud mute;
And then from slumbrrs soft and warm,
Like young spirit fresh from Heaven,
She bowed that young and ma,chless form,
And humbly prayed to be forgiven.
Oh, God Il souls as pure as these
Need daily mercy fecm thy throne
IL she upon her bendsd knees,
Our holiCst and purSst one.
She with face SO clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child OF light,--
II she, with those soft eyes and tears,
Day after day in her young years,
Must kncel'and pray for grace from Thee.
How harily, if she win not heaven,
Will our wild errors be Corgivcnl

The DEVELOPMENT or PoMpru. Here
we have more than the mere skeleton
of Roman city; we have such traces
of the flesh and muscles rs will enable
us to build up the living form, and to
obtain some insight into the manners,
habits and daily life Of that great Ro-
man people. And there is still much
to be done, and much to be discov-
cred But one third Of the town has
yet been exposed to view. Twenty
years must elapse, if the works are
carried on as they now are. before the
whole is uncovered. During the win
ter months about five hundred men,
women and boys are employed in the
excavation; during the summer owing
to the unhealthiness Of the place, only
fifty. 1t is impossible to conjecture
what additions may be made to the
treasures already discovered 1t is
true that the most important edihces
and consequently the more wealthy
quarters of the town, have been ex-
plored; but there still remains vast
number of private dwellings which are
in many respects even more interest
ing than the public buildings because
not found elsewhere, and likely to fur
nish us with new and most reliable
particulars relating to the domestic
life of the Romans Among the recent
discoveries is that Of the entire skele-
tons of two horses, which had taken
refuge in the porter's lodge Of very
elegant mansion, leaving the car to
which they had been attached, in the
court. We are thus indebted to We
suyius for the preservation Of the most
perfect monument Of the ancient world.
The terrible mountain whilst it des-
troyed has also saved Pompeii; and
when the shroud Of lava, mud and ash
es shall have been altogether raised
from it, the traveller will gaze upon
the almost perfect form of Roman
city.
