The Corruption of Ancient pompeii.

y correspondent of the Chicago Eri.
buue, who has lately been at the buried
city in Italy. writes as follows:
There is one matter in relation to Pom
pcii that is seldom touched ON by writers,
and which | dare not touch too closely.
to.wit: The horrible depravity of the
Pompeians, as illustrated by The frescoes,
sculptures and bronze statues that are
found. Hundreds of these vile objects
have been carried away to the museums
in Naples, and put in room which no
woman is allowed to visit; but there are
still houses in Pompeii that are kept lock-
cd, and others that have sue sculptures
over The doors on the out &c that the
guides hurry past them when there are
women in the party. Even in private
houses there are scores of frescoes-
masnihccntly executed, too-which one
would dare to visit only in company with
his nearest and dearest friends, if ladies,
and in other houses pictures and statues
than which none can imagine any thing
worse. | cannot understand why the
writer's on these matters have been so
anxious to conceal The faults of the an
clients. 1t is fact that deserves to be
generally known. Great God what a
picture of corruption in imperial Rome
is revealed to one who looks into Pom
peii with anything like thoroughness.
The very stone of the door-posts tells q
tale more damnable than ever was III
vented by modern thought. Sodom was
clean, and Gomorrah was pure, compared
with Pompeii. Where was ever people
on earth, before or since Pompeii, that
"advertised the ways that lead down to
hell" by sculptures placed in the open
light of the street "Out, damned spot!"
cried the still infant genius of modern
civilization and Christianity, as it looked
in upon Pompcii, and Vesuvius responded
to the command and sent his consuming
fires to do the work.

Give u kind word to the errins-
1t may raise fallen brother
And the law of heaven teaches
We should kindly teach each other.
All the paths of vice are many;
And when tempted and when tried,
Remember thou AT mortal,
And rhy feet may turn aside.
Give kind word to the crring,
Who have trod the paths of sin,
F"y the teinpter, too, may WOO thee,
And thy feet may run therein.
All along liie's rugged pathway
Stones are bruisiug weary feet:
TLislles spring among the flowers
Ta.es are growing with the wheat.
And the Master in His vineyard
Hath work for you to Go,
Flr the harvest there is plenteous,
But the l,bo.e;s there are few.
Tarry not-thc day is waning,
And the night is coming on,
And the Master will reward you
Fo. the work thy hand hath done.
II from out one bleeding bosom
You have rucked the bitter thorn;
If you've eheered tho droo?ing spirit
When is every hope was gone;
If you've stretched the hand il kindness
To lead crring, straying feet,
There's rich reward awaits yoa-
And loves labor, too, is sweet.
Ii along lifc's rugged highway
You hare raised a dropping flower;
II thy smile hath ever gladdened
For one hear, gloomy hour
1t hath placed star to glitter
In the angel crown above!
All life mission here is holy,
When We make it one of love!
Oh! remember, then, the crrirs!
Thou must lift the soul again,
And from some poor, bleeding bosom,
Wipe away the guilty stain.
All the world is one broad vineyard
Where there's work for each to do;
For the harvest there is plcnteous,
But the laborers are few
Work, thcn-Life's sun is setting,
And the night of Death comes on,
And the Master at his coming
Will expect thy work vel! done!

A hardened SEQ tish soldier lay on his
hospital bed, and refused stubbornly to
listen to word of spiritual counsel from
the good minister who visited him. He
"knew how to die without the aid of a
priest" he said. The most affectionate
cntreaty seemed lost upon him, and he
turned his face to the wall, determined to
close the interview.
The minister sat down by his bed, and
began to sing a hymn well known in
Scotland-"O mother dear, Jerusalem,
when shall come to thee 2"
In few moments the man turned
himself upon his pillow, the hard look all
gone, and the eye wet with tear.
"Who taught you that?" he asked.
"My mother" said the minister.
And so did mine," he replied; and
with those memories surging back into
his soul, he was ready and willing 70 lis

TIE OYSTER TRADE.-The Baltimore Gazette
speaks of the oyster trade ofthat city as constlu-
ting one ofits largest industrial interests The
business of earning oysters there was begun only
about ten years ago. The magnitude to which 1t
has mounted up may be understood from the fol-
lowing statement OF the Gazette:
There are at present about thirty packing
houses in the city, employing some forty-hvc nun,
dred shuckers or openers Of oysters, OF Whon the
larger number are colored men and women. over
ten thousand people are interested in the oyster
tra6 in this city, these figures, including tne
shuckers, passers, timers, box-makers, Wagohers'
and the employees in the different packing Douses.
OF the SEQ, roo bushels ofoysters annually Drougnt
to this city, 1875 900 bushels are packed raw
600 bushels are preserved by steamlDg ana
packed, and 625, 600 bushels are used IN the sleli
for the city and surrounding country consump-
ton. 1t is estimated that during the busiest sea-
son the various packing houses in the city open an
aggregate Of $4,000 bushels daily. Of this large
amount by far the greater part is distributed
among the cities of st. Louis Chicago, Cincinnati,
and Louisville, and the remainder goes to the
smaller Western cities and towns, many boxes 60
| ing as far West as Denver and Santa Fe. The
| trade is an immense one, and brings very large
amount OF money into Baltimore, besidas giving
