The Romnn S1,,fineI.

There was nothing in Pompeii that
invested it with deeper interest to
me than the spot where soldier of
old Rome displayed a most heroic fl.
deity. That fatal day on which We
suvius, at whose feet the city stood,
burst out into an eruption which
shook the earth, poured torrents of
lava from its riven sides, and dischar.
ged, amidst the noise Of n hundred
thunders, such clouds Of ashes as fill
ed the air, produced darkness deep
er than midnight and struck such ter
ror into all hearts that men thought
not only that the end of the world
had come and all must die, but the
Gods themselves expiring, on that
night the sentinel kept watch by the
gate which looked to the burning
mountain. Amidst umimaginablc con.
fusion and shrieks of terror, mingled
with roar of the volcano, and cries of
the mothers who had lost their chill
dren in the darkness, the inhabitants
fed the fatal town, while falling ash
es, loading the darkened air, and pen
etrating every place, rose in the streets
till they covered the house roofs, nor
left vestigo of the city but a vast ST.
lent mound, beneath which it lay un-
known, dead and buried, for nearly
one thousand seven hundred years.
Amidst this terrible disorder the
sentinel at the gate had bcen forgot
ten and as Rome required her senti-
nels, happen what might, to hold
their post till relieved by the guard
or set at liberty by their officers, he
had 20 choose between death and dis
honor. Pattern of fidelity, he stood
at his post. Slowly but surely the
ashes rise on his manly form now
they reach his breast; and now COW
ering his lips, they choke his breath.
ing He also was'faithful until death
After seventeen centuries, they found
his skeleton standing erect on the
marble niche, clad in rusty armor-
the helmet on his rusty skull, and his
bony fingers still closed upon his spear

TtrO Traitors - T'dIIeyrarid and
.EgnOFd.

There was n day when Talleyrand
arrived in Havre in hot haste from
Paris. 1t was the darkest hour in the
French Revolution. Pursued by the
bloodhounds of the reign of terror,
stripped Of every vestige of property
and power, Talleyrand secured pas
sage to America in ship about to sail.
He was to be beggar and a wanderer
in strange land, to earn his daily
bread by his daily labor.
ais there an American staying at
your house p he asked the landlord OF
the hotel. 81 am bound to cross the
water, and would like q letter TO q
person ofinfuencoi in the New World. !"
The landlord hesitated moment
and replied;
"There isa gentleman up stairs eth
er from America or Britain, but
whether an American or Englishman,
| cannot tell. !"
Hepointcd the way, and Talleyrand
who in his life, was bishop, prince,
and prime ministcr-ascende the stairs
A miserable suppliant, he stood before
the strangers door, knocked and
and entered.
In the far corner of the dimly light
ed room, sat man of some fifty years.
his arms folded and his head bowed
on his breast. From a window direct
y opposite flood of light poured upon
his forehead His eyes looked from
beneath the downcast brows, and gazed
upon Talleyrand's face with peculiar
searching expression. His face was a
striking outline; the mouth and chin
indicative of an iron will His form
was vigorous even with the SHOWS of
fifty years, was clad in dark but dis
tinguished costume.
Talleyrand advanced--statod that
he was fugitive-and under the
impression that the gentleman before
him was an American, solicited his
kind feelings and offices.
He poured out upon him his history
in eloquent French and broken English.
81 am wanderer and an exile. |
am forced to fly to new world, with.
out a friend or homo. You are an
American. Give me, then, beseech
you, n letter of yours, so that | may
be able to earn my daily bread The
scenes of Paris have filled me with hor-
ror, and life of labor would be par
adise to a career of luxury in France.
You will give me n letter to your
friends A gentleman like you has
doubtless many friends"
The strange gentleman rose. With |
a look that Talleyrand never forgot, |
he retreated towards the door of the |
next room, bis eyes looking still from
beneath his darkenod brow.
He spoke as he retreated backward
his voice was full of mraniDg:
81 am the only man born in the
New World who can raise his hand to
God and say, d have not n friend
not one in all America.
Talleyrand never forgot the over
sadness Of the look which
accompanied these few words.
"Who are you 2" he cried, as the
strange man retreated towards the
next room-"wbat is your name ?"
"My name" he replied, with a smile
that had moro of mockcry than Joy in
its convulsive expressions "my name
is Benedict Arnold ~
Talleyrand sank into a chair gas.
ping the words "Arn0id, the traitor ~
Thus he wandered over the earth,
another Cain, with the wanderers
mark upon his brow.
