Discovery of Antique Silver.

The artistic and learned world of Ger
many has recently been thrown into quite
an excitement about rare discovery of
antique silver vessels, such as never before
have been found within its borders. Some
Prussian soldiers were making excavations
for artillery purposes near Hildesheim, not
far from the city of Hanover, in North Ger
many, when at depth of ten feet, they
suddenly came upon three large vases,
about two feet in height, containing quite
a number of smaller vessels, with beakers,
bowls, and salvers.
A close inspection proved them to be of
great value, being ninety pounds of solid
silver partly overlaid with gold. But far
more than this was their artistic worth, as
the workmanship proved to be of surpass-
ing beauty, and induced those connoisseurs
who first examined them to declare them
to be relics of the tlourishing art-period of
Renaissance, when the influence of Michael
Angelo, Raphael, and Bcnevenuto was so
clearly seen in the rich arabesques and
graceful images OF that period.
But the later Investigations of the pro-
fessional antiquarians of Germany proved
that not half their value had yet been sur
missed. These gentlemen declared them to
be splendid specimens OF antique art, origi-
mating in the golden age of Augustus or
his immediate successors. They were evil
IDENTIFY the eating and drinking service of
some luxurious old Roman as the ornaments
were all cmblematic of the art and mythol-
ogy of ancient Rome in her highest glory.
And finally a critical inspection, after still
more careful cleaning, discovered Roman
weights, expressed in pounds, ounces, and
scruples, and even the Roman names of
some of the artists in the old Roman alpha
bet.
The discovery is therefore evidently an
tique, and far more extensive and valua-
BILE than any ever made north of the Alps,
and even superior to the remarkable trea-
sures in this line eXhumed in Pompeii in
1885. The interesting question then I'M
mediatcly arose as to how these rare vases,
bcakcrs, salvers, candelabras, and all
the utensils Of a gorgeous table-service,
should be found so far north, and in a
region Of no large Roman colony. The
oxoydixed state of the vases proved them
to have been buried a great length of time.
for some of these were fairly eaten through.
This enigma set the antiquarians and
historians at work again, and they soon
told the following interesting story: About
nine years after the birth of Christ the
| Roman Proconsul Varus was sent to
| Northwest Germany, to subdue the rebel
| lious tribes under the old hero Hermann,
The Roman general had commanded in
| Syria, and found it but soldierly sport to
subduc these weak and effemin ate people
| This led him to over-estimate himself and
under estimate his foes. He consequently
undertook this ancient " Holiday Prone
made to Berlin" accompanied by every

thing that could rebound to his luxury and
splendor, not forgetting his magnificent
table service with which to enjoy his delica-
cies and his wines. The Great Hermann
led him by superior strategy into the path
less wilderness of the Tcutoburger Forest
and there after three days battle, totally
annihilated the Roman army. IN it's flight
it doubtless buried these treasures in hone
of recovering them, Or certain victorious
German clans may have thus concealed
them from their own foes and never been
able to recover them.
But they have at last arrived at Berlin,
after pretty tedious journey, it must be
confessed, and are now adding their charms
to the many priceless ornaments of the Art
Museum of that great capital .ScrJner.

My Three Darlings.
BY FANNIE SEYMOUR.

The last lingering beam of the daylight has
From the hillside, from the woodland
and vale,
And the storm king has come down from
the north-land,
And the snow falls, and the rain and the
As | sit by tho glowing embcrs
OF the wood-tire burning low,
And dream of the shadowy future,
And think of the long ago.
Wild waieth the wind in its fury,
And driveth the icy sleet
Over three graves in the church yard,
Where my three little children sleep.
Yes, like the sweet flowers Of spring time
There was nothing on earth half fair,
As to me were my sunnv-haired treasures,
Now lying side by side over there.
When the evening shadows had gathered,
Like night bird come for its prey,
Came the Death angel into our dwelling,
In the dusk of the twilight grey.
Mutfled footballs were heard in that cham
Der;
Bowed heads gave sign that we wcpt,
AS he folded our tirst-born to his bosom,
And bore her away while she slept.
Three times did the earth yield her harvest,
Three times did the roses blow,
And the sunshine fall in its glory
Ger the white of the driftcd snow,
Ere again came the message to me
Which l knew that we must obey;
And my second rosy checked cherub
White-robed and silent lay.
AS the last summer flower is the fairest,
So seemed my dear one to me-
More priced than a miser's riches,-
More precious than pearls of the sea.
But again | heard a voice Calling
&C Let the little one come to me -
And | laid my all in Christ's arms
My darlings, my children three.
But he who heareth the sparrows,
And counteth the sands by the sea,
Knoweth well of the grief of mother,
And what is the best for me.
And now as ] gaze in the freight,
Fast fall the gathering tears,
AS | ask the Saviour to care for me,
Through the mists of the coming years.

Indispensable said that if a musquito
happens to fix upon the back of the hand
while it is open and extended, and the
fist is then slowly and carefully closed, the
insect will be caught, as the pore through
which he has been biting becomes length
ened and tightned. A little ammonia allie
viates the pain of a mosquito bite, and a
little benzoic acid and sugar burned on
shovel it is said, will drive them away
The same is said of solution of carbolic
acid, but to have it successful we have found
it necessary to have the solution so strong
that the smell of it was worse than the
mosquitoes.

APPOINTMENT OF JUDGEs.-Dr. Franklin
thought that judges ought to be appointed
by the lawyers; for, added the shrewd man,
in Scotland, where this practice prevails,
they always select the ablest member of the
profession, in order to get rid of him, and
share his practice themselves. There is
only one remark to be made, and that is
that the judges must in that case be well
paid, or the "ablest'' member of the pro-
fession would not accept it; so that after all,
it is merely as broad as it is long.

All our preconcived ideas in regard to
historical characters are, one by one, being
swept away by the new Development of the
present age. That much maligned woman,
Xantippe, is now crowned with honor. 1t
is now asserted that she was beautiful,
thrifty, and good housewife; that she first
won the regard of Socrates by her wonder
full conversational powers, and the skill
with which she refuted some of his argu-
ments; in spite of the ugliness of Socrates
and his poverty and obscure origin, she
married him, discerning the beauty of his
mind and soul; that her relatives disap-
proved the match, and she herself soon
found her husband lacking in very essential
qualities for comfort in common life
Socrates is found to have given himself lit
tic concern about the support of his family;
he had no legitimate calling; he was a
lounger in public places; he had habit
of inviting persons to dine with him when
there was nothing with which to entertain
them. Moreover, he was repulsive in ap,
pearancc, slovenly in dress, and very un-
social at home. What wonder, then, il
she lost her temper while attempting to
keep the house and rear the children of
such man? The trials Of poor Xantippe
arc only just beginning to be revealed!

A CAUTIOUS MANA fellow who was
travelling in Western New York, entered
n bar-room, and after calling for drinks
for two looking about over the loungers,
apparently for q friend to drink with him.
To every ones surprise, he invited XVIII,
who eagerly accepted, and swallowed his
'pizen" with great avidity. Our traveller,
however, leaving his untouched, very
coolly lighted cigar, and settled himself
by the fire. After some time, the landlord
inquired, rather sharply, if he did not
intend to drink that whiskey. "Why,
certainly" said he, eff it don't kill that
colored man within ten Or fifteen minutes. Z"

How TO BEGIN WORK OF BENEvo-
LENCE.-Dr. Nuremberg says :-"Think
over your plan well. Mature it in your
own mind. Discuss it with one or two
whose Judgment is worth having. Give it
form and shape before you call in others to
your aid. Then present it for general sup
port, as it is. Don't begin with proclaim
ing your object, and calling a meeting Of
all who are friendly to it. Some will come
who think they know all about it as well
as yourself. They will talk wisely, as they
think make suggestions, propose methods
of procedure, without a clear idea of what
you design, and the meeting will adjourn
upon the appointment Of committee,
which may never meet. No; begin in n
quiet, natural way. Let the thing develop
itself under the fostering sympathies Of a
congenial few. 1t may be small and weak
for while, but if it be germ of true life
it will vegetate, it will strike root and grow.
When it has acquired body of its own,
then throw it open to all who will, to sup
ply the requisite nutriment for its growth
and expansion, but not to trim ard fashion
it after notions of their own. If they help
you in the right way, thank God and take
courage. If not, no matter. 1t will flour

FISH SEED.-In China III the III onth of
May, or thereabout, large numbers of boats
assemble in the great river Yang tse kiang
to buy fish seed, custom since the most
remote antiquity. The country people here
bar up the river with mats and screens for
eight or ten leagues, leaving only space
open for the boats to pass one at time
The tish-secd is seen adhering to these mats
and screens, yet stranger could not dis
Germ single one in the river. The people
fill large vases with this fish-secd water,
and sell them to dealers, who send them to
the streams, ponds, and rivers which they
wish to raise fish in. The Romans used to
do much the same thing, and sometimes on
a vast scale, sowing tish-eggs almost as we
SOW grain, and even succeeding in sowing
the seed of salt water fishes successfully
in fresh water. The Roman lakes, Nelinus,
Sabatinus, Eulsinensis, and Cimnius, in
Etruria, were thus peopled with the sea
fishes, bass, gilt heads, mullets, and others.
The Rustic descendants of Romulus, and
of Numa, practiccd this breeding of fish rs
measure of great public utility; their
foolish descendants despIsed and lost SO
useful and valuable an art.

Women in Sickness.

Tn no situation. and under no circum-
stances, does the female character appear
to such advantage rs when watching be-
side 4 bed of sickness. The chamber of
disease may indeed be said to be the wo-
mans home. We there behold her in her
loyelest, most attractive point Of view
firm, without being harsh; tender, yet not
weak; active, yet quiet; gentle, patient,
accomplishing, visilant. Every sympa-
thetie feeling that so peculiarly graces the
feminine character is called forth while
the native strength of mind which has
hitherto slumbered in ina ctivity is reused
to its fullest energy. With noiselcss step
she moves about the chamber of the invalid:
her listening ear ever ready to catch the
slightest murmur; her quick kind glance
ever ready to interpret the muttered wish,
and supply the halfformed want. She
smooths with careful hand the uneasy pill
low that supports the aching head, or with
cool hand smooths the fevered brow, or
proffers to the glazed and parching lip the
grateful draught, happy if she meets one
kind glance in payment for her labor of
love.
Hers, too, is the low-whispered voice,
which breathes of life and hope, of health
in store for happy days to come; or tells of
better and of heavenly rest, where neither
sorrow nor disease can come, where the
dark power of death shall no more have
dominion over the fral, suffering, perish
ing clay. Through the dim, silent watches
of the night, it is hers to keep lone vigls
and to hold communion with her Cod, and
silently lift up her heart in fervent prayer
for the prolongation of Il life for which she
would cheeriully sacrifice her own. And
even when exhausted nature sinks to brief
reposc, forgetfulness is denied. Even in
sleep she seem awake to this one great
object of her care. She starts and rises
from her slumbers, raises her head, and
watches with dreamy eyes the face she
loves, then sinks again to rest, to start
with every chime of clock or distant sound,
which formerly had passed unheard, OF
only served as lullaby to her sweet sleep.
