THE CITY OF ROME.

Since Rome became seat of gov
eminent it has, like Berlin, greatly
increased in population, and the de-
mand for houses necessitates the for
nation of entire new streets. In
the excavations and leveling now
being made for these new improve
ments the most interesting diScOv-
cries have been made. Not sewer
is dug nor foundation laid without
the workman's pick coming upon
rare objects of art or the debris of
monuments; among these are mosa-
ic pavements, tombs, bas reliefs,
etc., the remains of ancient monu-
ments known and unknown, and
abundance of tools, medals, jewels
and other small articles. A better
field colld scarcely present itself
just now to the study of the arche-
ologist and antiquarian, for the his
tol Y of old Rome is written in her
soil and every step upon it reminds
the traveller Of ByrOn's fervid excla-
nation: "Stop for you treat upon
an empires dust.

ECONOMY I'M A FAMILY

There is nothing which goes SO
far towards placing young people
beyond the reach of poverty, as
economy in the management Of their
domestic affairs. II matters not

for his family, if there is continual
leakage in his kitchen orsin his par
lor ; it runs away he knows not how,

duty ofthe wife to see none goes

article, however unimportant in it.
self, for it establishes a precedent
nor under any prctence for it opens
the door for ruin to stalk in, and he
seldom leaves an opportunity unim-
proved. A man gets wife to look
after his affairs, and to assist him in
his journey through life--to educate
and prepare his children for proper
station III life, and not to dissipate
his property. The husbands inter-
est should be the wife's care, and
her greatest ambition carry her no
farther than his welfare or happi-
ness, together with that of her chill
dren. This should be her SOLE aim,
and the theatre of her exploits in the
bosom of her family, where she may
do as much towards making a for
tune as he can in the counting-room
or the workshop. 1t is not the mon
ey earned that makes man wealthy
it is what he saves from his earn
ings. A good and prudent husband
makes deposit of the fruits of his
labor with his best friend, and if
that friend be not true to him, what
has he TO hope !? If he dare not
place confidence in the companion of
his bosom, where is. he to place itR
x wife acts not for herself only, but
she is the agent of many she iloves,
and she is bound to act for their
good, and not for her own gratiica-
ton. Self-gratiieation in dress, or
indulgence in appetite, or more COM
pany than her husbands purse can
well entertain, arc equally PERM
cious.

John BUNYAN.

About two hundred years ago
John Bunyan, author of "The Pill
grim's Progress" was imprisoned in
Bedford jail, England. At and about
that time it was the custom of relig~
ious sectaries to treat difference of
opinion in regard to the gospel of
charity and liberation as an offense
to be punished with Imprisonment or
death. In the jail of Bedford, near
which place he was born, Bunyan
passed twelve years. 1t was an
Imprisonment which proved of great
interest to mankind, for while he was

grim's Progress" the finest allegory
of imaginative literature. A late
London journal informs us that a
statue is about to be erected to John
Bunyan in Bedford, though his i'm
mortal book after all, is his best mon
ument. The Duke of Bedford, un-
solicited, has undertaken to present
to the town a colossal bronze statue
of Bunyan, and has also, it is un-
derstood, offered considerable sum
towards the cost of clearing suita-
BILE site. Around the statue will be
placed certain figures selected from
Bunyan's allegorical work. Who
could have predicted, when this tink-
err, and son of a tinker, was confined
in Bedford Jail, that such homage
would be rendered to his memory by
an illustrious descendant of his old
enemies, the Cavaliers ? Bedford

A BAGGAGE. sMAsHERs DREAM

A certain baggage smasher on
the Wilmington and Baltimore rail-
road had fearful attack of ght-
mare the other evening. He
dreamed that some man came along
to his car with splendid new trunk
that had never been touched. And
the dreamer got hold of that trunk
and soused it down upon the floor
three or four times, and jumped on
it, and hacked it up with an ak, and
split coal oil on it, and smeared it
with chalk marks. And then he
dreamed that he pitched it out of
the car, and was about to explode a
keg of gurpowder under it, when
the engine ofthe down train struck
him, and he awoke. He found his
wife standing over him with a chair,
and rapping him on the head with
earnestness. In his sleep he had
hold of baby's crib, and had been
waltzing around the room with it,
ramming it up against the wall, and
pounding it with the pitcher, and
trying to heavc it out of the win
dow, while the infant, spilled upon
the floor, yelled like brigade Of
Soshone Indians. 1t was the con
cussion of the chair in the hands
of the indignant mother that made
him dream about the locomotive
striking him. When his friends
now ask him the meaning of those
Jumps upon his forehead, he says
nothing, but seizes the nearest va
Iise and goes through all the exer-
cises that he dreamed about.

CURB YOUR TEMPER.

Never get angry. 1t does no
coed and those who indulge in it
feel no better for it. 1t is really a
torment; and when the storm of
passion has cleared away, it leaves
one to see that he has been extreme
ly silly, and has made him silly in
the eyes of others, too. Who thinks
we'll of an ill-natured, churliSh man,
who has to be approached in the
most guarded way? Will a bad
temper draw customers, pay debts,
and make credit for better natured 7
An angry man adds nothing to the
welfare of society. Since, then,
anger is useless, needless, disgrace
full, without the least apology, and
found only in the bosom of fools,
why should it be INDUCED in at all.

BUDDHIST FABLE.

There is a Buddhist fable, with
a moral to it, which tells an anus
ing tale, ofa hog who fancies he has
inspired lion with fear, and chal-
lenges him to mortal combat. The
lion fixes that day week for duel,
and the hog, scampering back to his
herd, proudly declares that he is 60
ing to fight the lion. The announce
ment is received with terror and the
crestfallen hog takes the advice of
his friends to roll in a dunghill be-
fore encountering his dreadful foe.
Accordingly on the fateful day our
hero presents himself before the lion
armed in panoply of filth, and the
noble beast, scorning to touch SO
contemplate a foe, says, "If you
want to fight, | leave you the vic
tory" The story adds, with dry
humor, that the hog told his friends
he had conquered the lion p

A CAMPAIGN STORY.
Walked up the Wrong Man,


How the story got out wo cant
tell, who originated il we don't know,
but what we do know is that it is
too good to keep. Here it is:
tDick Wood, the Radical candi-
date for Congress in this. district,
while canvassing in the mountains
the other day, was compelled al one
point to imbibe good deal Of Gap

natives that he was not of those "big
lyers" who think themselves made
Of superior stuff to the "honest and
hardy yeomanry," The conse-
quence was that Dick, after giving
orders to be woke up at three
o'clock in the morning in order that
he might be able to reach a distant
appointment next day when he re-
tired to rest. was, in five minutes
after he lay down, 'as good as a
dead man" Some scamps procur
ed some lamp black, which they
mixed with water, and, entering
his sleeping apartment, thoroughly
blackened his face to "make him
look something like his politics" as
they assured the landlord. Next
morning, promptly, he was aroused
at three o'clock, and was i'll such
hurry that ne did not take time to
wash, but bolted his breakfast and
rode away at brisk gait. Arrived
at his destination; he hunted up a
prominent Radical, to whom he had
a letter of introduction, and present
ed his credentials. The gentleman
read the letter, alternating the read
ing with chances at Dicks face, and
then asked
care you Major Wood, of Mt,
Sterling ?"
That's my name sir" replied
Dick.
"Why, | thought you was a white
man," said the other.
Greatly astonished, Dick blurted
out, "And so | am !"
DWELL you have ID black face
for a white man."
"What do you mean 7" said Dick
angrily. "Do you want to insult
me 2"
"No sir. But you had better not
attempt to speak here to-day. Our
boys won't stand speech from a
niger
IA niger ?" cried Dick. Why,
there amt drop of niger blood in
my veins. Pm as white as you or
any other man."
Seeing looking-glass on the wall
Dick stepped up and looked in it.
Starting back with an oath that fair
~ made the windows rattle, he ex>
claimed:
dwell, if the id fools over at
willie havn't Waked up The sorO1ag
man, and WOOd is over there yet!"
Jerking off his hat, he dropped
into a chair and began vigorously to
fan himself. The other, seeing his
straight hair, and noticed that the
back of his neck appeared too
white, smelt large sized mice, and
suggested soap and water. The
process of washing his face revealed
to Dick the trick that had been
played on him. Mortified beyond
measure, he made the gentleman
pledge himself to secrecy, saying
that he would not have it get out for
the world, for if Adams This oppo-
nent) gst hold of it he {Dick) would
never hear the last of it. How it
finally got out we have no idea, but
suppose Dicks friend must have
told the joke to his wife.-Kent~cky
