 A girl called GeOrgina will waltz well, but have no discrimina- tion. It would, perhaps, be best to.smother her in her youth.
 A girl called Elizabeth will pro bably give her friends much trOu- ble while she is teething. When she grows up she will fall in love with her music. master.
 A girl called Constantia will have natural curly hair, but large feet. When she reaches her fifty second year she will most likely get an offer. :.

A bottle of wine was sealed up in box, and it was mutually agreed that the last man should open the box and drink the wine They met for four years together The first death occurred in 1887, and in October. 1856, the last man sat down alone. The wine bottle was opened, and in silence the last of the seven friends drank the health of his departed companions. Every year, on the 9th ofOctober, the lastma holds the anniversary alone. He is yet alive.

How they Lived in Pompsii.

Charles Warren StOddart, writ. ing to the San Francisco ChrOni- cte, says, in describing visit to the ruins of Pompeii: 1 cannot understand how people who are supposed to have been luXurlouS in their tastes ever lived in such ridicuiously small houses as are those of Pompeii. The bedrooms are like StaterOOmS, and the stone beds, like berths, fill the longest side of the apartment. There are no garden spots; even the baths, the croWning luxury of the time, are small. The Forum and some few Ot the temples are of more re- Spectable dimensions, but the re- sorts of 30,90O people could hardly be less. The private lie of the POmpeiiano must have been mar row, meagre and unhealthy. The gardeua wi hout the ciGy probably afforded their only means Of re- creation, and 1 wonder how any one who has once breathed pure air can have returned to sleep ln such miserable quarters as the POmpeiian bedrooms. Single par titutiOns bel Ween all the houses, no gardens, no open courts save in the mansions of the wealthy, and the glare Of the Southern sun streaming on walls glowing with red and yellow palat-suyn Was P9mpali Iu il- best days.

I sat the sole spectator in the well preserved amphitheater, and walked in the Street of the Tombs. The "House of the Tragic Poet" received me, and I explored for myself some dark passages that led under cer- tain houses, where I met with an odor of sulphur that was almost overpowering.

 How beautifully do these ex- tracts portray the peculiar charac- teristicS of "My Uucle." Why should not such men live forever? But death loves shining mark, and in an unguarded moment "My Uncle" offered a bullock for sale at less than five hundred per cent. advance, which so enraged the animal about to be sold that he rushed furiously upon "My Uncle," and gored him to death, and in his gory bed he died-kill- ed by one of his own berd-so I heard. -

 I first met and was introduced to "My Uncle" at his place of business in Chatham street, New York, and was then struck with his modest, unassuming deamea- nor, while his benign or seven hv- zine .co1ntenarce seemed to indicate a heart and soul equal to the emergencies of his busi- ness. The family of "My Uncle" consisted of & frugal wife who presided over the domestic duties of his household ip the back room of his store, and among her many virtues was reckoned seven small children.
 No emblazoned sign spread its .glaring letters over his door to entice the unwary into extrava- gant purchases, but three modest golden globes pointed out to the deserving poor where My Uncle" ever stood ready to receive their pJedges of affection, and to give them the assurance that the in sterest he felt in them could only be equalled by the interest he took out of them. e @
 How many years he thus pur- sued the even tenor of his way l have no means of knowing; but "when the. first gun was fired up- on Sumter" and call was made for every lover ot his country to gird on his armoT and prepare for it's defense, it was met with re- sponse from the patriotic bosom of "My Uncle'' which was only equalled by the response from the maternal bosom of "My Uncie's" wife at the call of the infantry.
 Now was heard "the busy note of preparation throughout the land" The ear-piercing fife and the the spirit-stirring drum" called the merchant from his counter, the mechanic from his workshop, and the farmer from his field. An overwhelming love of country and patriotism that knew no bonds impelled "Mv ITn- .cle" to dUty which ha gIaIu.y saw before hin. Leaving his business in the hands of @ trusfy clerk. he went forth boldly to per t9rn that duty and enlisted in the army as Beef Contractor"
 l shall not draw aside the veil ana expose to the public gaze the painIui separation or My Uncle" and his sorrow stricken family; suffice 1t to say, that the affecting scene was faithfully photograph ed, and the picture now .orna- ments the walls ofthe "Fve Points Mission School" it having been presented to that institution for reason thatstO many of the pupils the face of "My Uncle" was very familiar.
 now feel that DO language of my own can do justice to the pa. f triotic ardor and burning zeal that actuated 'sMy Uncle'' in sacrific. ing himself upon "the altar of his country" but few extracts talk en from his journal, found upon his person after!ttaking off.u will show how pure, how disinterest, ed were his motives and how ex, alted his patriotism:
