A Heart OF Stone.
BY JOHN HARRINGTON.

Whence comes my love2 heart, disclosed
II was from CHEEKS that shame the rose,
From lips that spoil the ruby's praise,
From eyes that mock the diamonds olaze;
Whence comes nv woe? as freely own;
All, mel twas from heart like stohe'
The blushinp check speaks modest mind'
The lips befittiug words most kind,
The eve does tempt to loves desire,
And seems to say tits Curid's fire;
Yet all 30 fair but speak ny moan,
sith naught doth ray the heart OF stone.
Why thus, my love, so kind 6espeakL
Sweet eye. sweet lip. sweet olusnlne cneeA-
Yet not heart 10 save my pa mr.
q VenusI take thy gifts againl
Make not 30 fair to cause our moan.
0r make heart that's like our own.

Human skeletons i'm Pompeii.

Some of the details OF these discoveries.
contained in the journals of the excavations
ale extremely curious and interesting. Thus
we read that, on the Both of August, 1857, a
human skeleton was found in the corridor oil
a house which volcanic matter had not pen
etrated, but had SO completely closed up by
obstructing the doors that escape was mlpos-
slble. Here the wreiched man lived in utter
darkness we know not how long. 1t is a SIG
nificant circumstance, that his bones, instead
Of lying in one place, were scattered about
the apartment, and showed marks or having
been gnawed Near them lay the undisturb,
ed skeleton of dog. 1t is evident, therefore.
that the brute had not only survived his mas
ter, but had also eaten him. In shop con-
nected with the public baths, not tar from
the forum, were al found two skeletons OF
persons who had died in each others en-
brace. They were both IN the freshness OF
youth, and OF different sex The affecting
spectacle excited all unwonted effusion of
sentiment in the antiquarian bosom, and the
bony twain were christened The Lovers.
On the 18th OF June, of the same wear.
eight skeletons were found under the ruins
OF wal, and in May, 1918. another skeleton
was discovered near the Temple Of Jupiter.
crushed by a marble column; thus proving
conclusiVely that the eruption was accom-
panied by an earthquake In rhe Temple of
Isis, ALSO were discovered The remains OF sew
eral priests, with chicken-b bones, eag-shells,
wine goblets, and other indications Of ban
quet on table near them. One of them had
seized sacrihcial axe with which to effect
his escape, but sank down exhausted, OF prob
ably 5uilocated by the mephitic vapor, before
accomplishing his purpose The statement
m de by several writers, and reiterated by NJ
Monnier and DIR. Dyer, that the said prie.t
actually cut his way through two walls, is en-
TREY erroneous; the walls do not exhibit any
t aces OF such operations. Tradition tells OF
another priest who lay in the centre OF the
adjacent Forum triangatdre. This man.
whom Bulwer calls Calenus, was said to have
been carrying off some of the rich silver lurni-
ture of the temple when death overlook him.
AS the jour lal makes no mention OF this cir
cumstance, the reader will receive the account

Miscellany


Certes nothing in the Scion Single style
could surpass the following, from Cincinna-
ii correspondent, describing a scene that re-
Gently occurred in the Police Court of that
city. 1t seems that Mr.. Jones, farmer
from one of the adjoining counties, had dis
posed OF hog which had died a natural
death while being transported to town. 1t
was one of twelve so closely packed in a
wagon that it was smothered to death. After
that melancholy event Mr.. Jones had it dress
ed and sold it to Mr.. Busch, grocer. who
on cutting it up ascertained its condition and
called upon the City Inspector TO examine
it. The meat being pronounced unfit tor
sale, Mr.. Jones was arrested. He is spare,
thin, gray-haired man, and was DESTROYS OF
arguing the matter at every point. The
charge having been stated he was called upon
to answer:
Mr.. Jones-Well, you see, Jedge, brought
that hog to market. and when he was scaldad
was to d that he struggled.
Prosecuting Attorney Blackburn-Did you
not know that hog was dead when you took
him to Hotfmans slaughter-house?
Mr.. Jones-Now hold on. The boys asked
me to treat them before they dressed the hog,
and did so; after which 1 paid them for
preparing IT for the market. After they had
dressed it they sail it WIS all right.
Attorney Blackburn-That was after YOU
had treated them?
Mr.. JoDes-Jes' so. But Jedge that hog.
they assured me, struggled when he Was
struck, and l was assured that he was saabe.
Judge Straub-You mean saabe, Mr.
Jones, you knew 1t was not eatahle. You
would not have takeD the meat into youl
own household for your family fable.
Mr.. gones-But Jedge, that hog struggled
when he was struck.
Judge Slraub-Mr Jones' YOU will be aui-
ct. lou sold that animal, knowing it to be
unstable Tor family purposes.
Mr.. JoneS-But ledge, that hog struggled.
Judge Straub-Will you keep still?
Mr.. Jones-Yes, but that hog struggled
when it was struck
Judge Straub-Once more. be quiet. You
have been guilty Of gross offense, for which
you have no excuse. You will repay Mr..
Busch the amount you received for the hog
