THE LAST DAYS OF RoME-Gibbon,
the great historian, in his "deciine and
fan, drew q picture of Rome in its deca-
dence, which may well attract the at
tention of the American people at the
present day. The close observer will
find many points of resemblance between
the Roman Empire, when tottering to
its fall, and the United States at the
present hour. We quote from Gibbon.
as follows: .7f
'Instead of paternal, poor, brave,
aristocracy. she had now a nobility, va
liant indeed and capable, but dissolute
beyond the reach of mans Imagination,
boundless in their expenditures, reckless
as to the mode of gaining the wher-
wIthal to support them, oppressive and
despotical I'd their interiors, smooth
tongued and hypocritical towards each
other. destitute equally of justice and
compassion towards their fellow-men.
and of respect and piety towards tho
gods. Wealth had become the idol
the god of the rich-while wealth, and
no longer services, efoquence, daring or
integrity was held the requisite for
office.-Wealth now conferred upon its
owner all magistrates. all guerdons-
rank, power and command--cOnsulship
provinces and armies. The Senate,
once the most grave and stern and just
assembly that the world had ever seen,
was now, with but few superb excep-
tions, timid, faithless and ficentious
oligarchy; while-name whilofn so ma
jestic and mighty the people, the
great Roman people, was but mob, q
vile coiluvian of Greeks, Syriaus, Afri-
cans, barharians, enfranchised slaves,
and liberated gladiators, made worse
because their national legislators were
personally and politically dishonest"

WALTER SCOTIA few days ago
NN- mn = Gladstone made an adj
dress in England, on the lite and writ
ings of Sir Walter Scott. His estimate
of Scott is shown by the following
paragraphs:
''There we're two great and memo
rable names that were allowed to stand
at the head of human kind. One OF
them was Homer, who lived probably
three thousand years ago; the other
was Shakespeare, whom we were allow
ed in this country to call our owne- The
verdict of the literary world was nearly
unanimous that those two were by far
the greatest painters and portray ers of
human character that had ever lived.
He believed he shonld not be too
audacious if he claimed for Scott the
third place among the poets and writer's
Of all the nations ofthe world.
"Sir Walter has left us q double
treasurc-the memory Of himself and
the possession OF his works. Both of
| these would endure. The recollection
of a character so noble, SO simple, so
generous as his, could not pass away.
| All that was best and highest in the
age of chivalry was brocght down by
him into the midst of an age of inven-
ton, of criticism, of movement, of in
creased command over the powers of
external nature, and possibly, of an
increased servility to the wealth and
luxury, which, by the use of those as to
his works they we're immortal. Moth
ing but the extinction of civilization
could possibly extinguish Scott. If we
did not now appreciate him as we ought
it was our misfortune, not his. The
fashion of the moment might prefer the
newest to the best; bnt as. the calm
order of nature was renewed after a
storm, so the permanent Judgment OF
mankind would retain its equilibrium,
and would render thehonors of poetical
and literary achievements where they
are DUE

LOOK TO THE BEDRoooI.-If two per.
sons are to occupy bedroom during the
night, let them step into pair of scales
as they retire, and then again i'll the
morning, and they will find the actual
weight to be at least a pound less in the
morning. Frequently there will be a
loss of two or more pounds, and the
average loss throughout the year will be
more than one pound.-That is, during
the night there is loss of AZ pound OF
matter which has gone off from the
lungs and partly from the pores of the
skin. The escaped material is carbonic
acid and decayed animal matter, or poi
sonous exhalation. This is diffased
through the air IN part, and in part alb
sorbed by the bed clothes. If a single
ounce Of cotton be burned in the room,
it will so smoke, that one can hardly
breathe, though there can be but an
ruuce of foreign matter in the room.
If an ounce of cotton be burned every
half hour during the night, the air will
be kept continually saturated with
smoke, unless there be n door or window
for it to escape. Now the sixteen ounces
OF smoke thus formed, is far less poison
Gus than the sixteen ounces Of the ex.
halation from the lungs and bodies OF
the two persons who have lost pound
of weight during the eight hours of sleep
ing, for while the smoke is mainly tax.
ing into the lungs, damp odors from the
body are absorbed into the lung and the
the pores of the whole body.
Need more be said to show the i'm
portance of having bedrooms we'll ven
tillated, aud thoroughly airing the sheets,
coverlids. and mattresses in the morn
ing, before packing them up in the form
of a neatly made bed.-[JoHrnal OF

HoPEFULNEss--Tru hope is based
on the energy of character. A strong
mind always hopes, and has always
cause to hope because it knows the
mutabiiity of human affairs, and how
slight circumstance may change the
whole course or events. Such a spirit,
too, rests upon itself; it is not confined
to partial views, or to one particular
object. And if at last all should be lost,
it has saved itse!f-its own Integrity and
worth. nag"

A CoNJURoR's PRoPHECY.-A foreign
journal says: Mr.. Basco, the well-kuown
coDjuror, spent the winter of 1857 -5S IN
Berlin, and was one day summoned TO
appear at the palace, in order to exhibit
his art before the present king, at that
time prince regent, and the court.
Among the other apparatus he had a
terrestrial globe, upon which Prussia
was made to appear extremely small.
Basco advanced to tho prince, who was
sitting in armchair in the front row,
and asked him to take the globe in his
hands. The priuce did so, when, to his
astonishmeut, the formerly little Prussia
began to assume much larger dimensions.
''Your Royal Highness perceives," said
Basco, show Prussia will become ag-
grandized under your hands," The
trick was loudly applauded at the time,
but little did the spectators imagine
that what was intended as a courtly jest
was destined to become political earnest
within seven years from that time.

NAMES OF CoUNTRIEs.-Eur signi-
fies a country of white complexion; so
named because the inhabitants there
were of lighter complexion than those
of either Asia or Africa. Asia signifies
between or in the middle, from the fac.
that geographers placed it between
Europe and Africa. Africa sign;Ies the
land of corn, or ears. 1t was celebrated
for its abundance of corn and all sorts
of grains. Spain is country of rabbits
or comics. This country was once so in
tested with these animals, that the in
habitaDts petitioned Augustus for an
army to destroy them. Italy is q coun.
try of pitch, from its yielding great
quantities ofblack pitch.-Gaul, modern
France, signifies yellow hair, as yellow
hair characterized its first inhabitants.
Hibernia is the utmost or last habita-
tim, for beyond this, westward, the
Phoenicians, we are told, never extended
their voyages. Britain is the country
of tin, as there were great quantities of
lead and tin found on the adjacent island.
The Greeks called it Albion, which signi-
ties, in the Phoenician tongue, either
white or high mountain, from the white
ness of its shores, or the high rocks on
the western coast.

BEAUTIFUL STORY OF A PRINCEI.Y
BoY.-Charles x. of France, when a
child, vas one day playing in an apart
ment of the palace while a peasant from
Auvergne was busily employed in scrub
hing the floor. The latter encouraged
by the gayety and playfulness of the
young Count. entered Familiarity into
conversation with him, and to amuse
him told hum number of diverted sto-
reis aud anecdotes of his province. THE
prince with all the ingen1ousness of
childhood expressed his commiseration
for the narrator's evident poverty, aud
for the labor which he was obliged to
undergo in order to obtain scanty live
lihood.
.sAh!'' said the man. ssmy poor wife
and children often go supperless to bed"
"Welf, them replied the Prince, with
tears in his eyes, ''you must let me
manage for you. My governor every
month gives me some pocket money, for
which, after all, have no occasion, since
l want for nothing. You shall take this
children; but be sure not to mention n
word Of the matter to y living soul, or
you will be finely seeded.
On leaving the apartment, the honest
dependent acquainted the governor of
the young Prince with the conversation
that had taken place.
The latter, after praising the servant
highly for the scrupulous integrity,
desired him to accept the money and to
keep the affair a profound secret, adding
that he should have no cause to repent
of his discretion. At the end of the
month, the Count d'rtois received his
allowance as usual, and, watching the
moment when he was unobserved, hasti-
Iy slipped the whole sum into the hands
of his protege. On the same evening a
child's lottery was proposed for the
amusement of the young Princes by the
governor: who purposely distributed
among the prizes such objects as were
most likely to tempt boy of the Counts
age. Each of his brothers eagerly ha-
zarded his favorite amusement. The
governor, feigning astonishment, at last
demanded the reason of his unusual
prudence; still no answer from the Count.
One of the Princes, his brother, next
testified his surprise, and at lentgh press
ed the youth so hard that at moment of
childish impatience he exclaimed: "This
may be be very well for you, but VIII at
would you do if, like me You had wife
and Ave children2"

BEAUTIFUL ALLEGoRY.-Mr. Crit
tenden was engaged in defending man
who had been indicted for capital Of
fence. After an elaborate and power
full defence he closed his effort by the
following striking and beautiful allego-
~.
"When God in his eternal counsel
conceived the thought of mans creation,
he called to him the three ministers who
wait constantly upon the throne-Jus-
tice, Truth aud Mercy-and thus adj
dressed them: rs
ssShall we make MANI" Then said
Justice, 80 God make him not, for he
will trample upon thy laws" Truth
made an answer also.> 20 God make
him not. for he will poIIute thy sanctul
ries." But Mercy, dropping upon her
knees and looking through her tears, eS-
claimed. go God, make him will
watch over him with my care through
all the dark paths he may have to tread
Then God made man, ndsaid to hum,
80, man, thou art the child of Mercy
go and deal with thy brother"
The jury, when he finished, were in
tears, and against what must have
been their own convictions, brought in
a verdict ofnot guilty
