The Rowan SENTISEL-There was moth
inc in Pompeii that invested it with deep
err interest to me than the spot where a sol
der of old Rome displayed a most heroic
fidelity. That fatal day on which Nesu-
vius. at whose feet the city stood, burst out
into an eruption that shook the earth,
poured torrents of lava from its riven sides.
and discharged, amidst the noise of a hum
dred thunders, such clouds of ashes a. filled
the air. produced darkness deeper than
midnight. and struck such terror into all
hearts that men thought not only that the
end of the world had come and all must
die. but that the gods themselves were ex-
pirIrg-on that night sentinel kept watch
by the gate which looked TO the burning
mountain. Amidst unima ginable confu-
sion, and shrieks of terror, mingled with
the roar of the valcano, and cries of moth
ers who had lost their children in the
darkness. the inhabitants fed the town,
while falling ashes, loading the darkened
air, and penetrating every place, rose IN
the streets till they covered the house-roofs
nor left vestige OF the city but vast, 81
lent mound, beneath which it lay unknown,
dead. and buried, for nearly one thousand
seven hundred years. Amidst this fearful
disorder the sentinel at the gate had been
forgotten and as Rome required her SEN
tines. happen what might, to hold their
posts till relieved by the guard or set at
liberty by their officers, he had to choose
between death aid dishonor Pattern of f.
deity he stood BY his post. Slowly but
surely, the ashes rise on his manly form
now they reach his breast and now cover
ing his lips, they choke his breathing. He
also was /" faithful unto DEATH" After

The Sour LAKE N TExAs.-About
sixty miles from Houston, in Texas, in a
low, wet prairie country, but itself on quite
high and dry ground, and surrounded by
fine little forest, is a small lake whose di-
ameter may be counted by rods. the waters
Of which are so sour that it is almost i'm
possible to drink them \ number Of
wells have been dug in the immediate
vicinity, and the water of these contains
IRON. alum, magnesia and sulphuric acid.
Notwithstanding the difficulty of reach
ING the place and the poor accommodations,
large numbers Of invalids 20 there from
southern states to drink the water of the
wells and battle in the lake; and they ex-
perience immediate and remarkable benefit
The effect Of the bath IS sedative, and per-
sons who have not slept comfortably for
weeks, after taking a bath in the lake in
the evening enjoy refreshing nights rest.
The water becomes more pleasant to the
taste after a few glasses, and may be bot
tied or put in wooden casks without losing
strength. The soil is so strongly impreg-
mated with the same qualities as the water,
that If the mud be dissolved in pure water
and little soda or saleratus put into it. it
will foam and effervesce, and will be as sour
as lemonade

How TO DO YoUE WoRK.-Ihe great
English landscape painter, Turner, was
very poor III his youth, and had to take
anything to do which came IN his way.
He drew pictures for many cheap books.
In doing these drawings for the commonezt
books Of the day, and for price altogether
below their merits he never did his work
badly because he thought it beneath him.
or because he was iIl-paid- With what
people were willing to give him for his
work, he was content. He considered the
work in relation to himself, not III relation
to the buyers. He took a poor price that
he might lire, but he made noble drawings
that he might learn. According to his
time and means, he aliooys did his best; if
possible, better than he had ever done be-
fore. Though man without talent seldom
thus feels and Iabors, it is very certain
that man without great talent, who does
thus feel and thus labor is sure to do great
things.

Many persons afflicted with weak eyes
suppose that writing white paper strains
the eyes more than paper of a green or blue
tint. They also suppose that books printed
with black ink on a white ground are more
difficult to read than if the paper was colored
green or blue, or the ink itself was these
colors. This notion. is mistaken one.
Cheveral, in his work on color, states that
black and white contrasted, as black letters
on white ground, are the most favorable to
distinct vision. He says, . Black letters on
a white ground, present the maximum of
contrast Of tone, and reading is made in
perfectly distinct manner, without fatigue
by sufused daylight. Gray tinted paper is
the most unfavorable for printing or writing
on, for these reasons: Next to white and
black. light yellow and green are the best
colors for distinct vision. Green paper, is
better than yellow for reading by candle or
gas-Light, but yellow is best for daylight"

old to the new house was past the stables

to carry in her hands, to insure against ac-
cidents. Just opposite the stables before
mentioned, something in the street attract
ed her attention, and she stopped to look
at it. resting one end of the mirror on the
curbstone A small goat of the male per-
suasion loats about the stables wasting its
sweetness on the surrounding neighborhood.
and having ferocious combaJo with dogs.
hogs, and small boys. William was dainty
nibbling at a bundle Of hay in the door
way of the stables. when, TO his amazement,
he saw what he took to be another goat,
saucily shaking his horns at him
No one ever doubted Billy's courage
though his discretion has been repeatedly
called in question Considering it a chal-

emitting sharp, savage :. m-a-a," he sprans
into the air a If shot from catapult, and
dashed-head, horns, body, and tail

shivered glass. and the woman stood amid

Billy's blood was up. A. she stopped to
save the pieces, he : backed " her over.
and repeated the operation often a she
tried to get up, until some Of the stable
men took him off.
The next day the outraged and insultcd
woman called at the stables, represented
what the nasty goat had done, and de-
manded FIVE dollars in payment o. the dam
ages to self and property. They promised
to inquire into it, and if the goat was found
to be to blame, would settle up Finally
the matter was compromised BY taking the
mirror frame and agreeing to get new
