Then the iothor, after stating, with con-
siderable detail, several other features,
sums them up (p. 22G, a. follow:
Notwithstanding the appearance Of
tyranny in the statutes relative TO Roman

conceive why the members Of the unions

requiring the son, grandson, all the des-
cendants, to follow the profession Of their
ancestors The fraternity, which is thus
composed Of permanent families Of work

OF industry are perpetuated from age to age,

In the succeeding chapter an account 10
given NJ "the fall u the Labor Unions
% Rome Mt one ~ these causes was
intrinsic. Alas, tp. 216) they were, about
the year 4O0 (As "a their duties), made
subject entirely to the discretion of the
Emperocs. They were (p. 217) made strictly
instruments 10 the administration. and in
many respty;, the administration itself
The Bakers nion was required to furnish

Wagoners L. furnish transportation; the
MasOns 10 furnish hands for the public
works, etc. The government imposed
onerous conditions, with this obligation.
The unions Up. 225) we're responsible for
the revenues Of the empire Of which they
had the administration; and (when the an
nual rents Of the domain were insufficient
for the consumption) the government seized
upon the property. By many eHtortionate
laws (in making which the unions had no
voice) the Treasury (p. 22s) Of the unions
were exhausted. and when the Senators
had one less dish On their tables, the unions
had none at all. The main cause Of the
fall Of the unions in Rome (p 231) " was
the unbOamdsd itrt5y OF the Emperors."
1t is manifest that if such unions we're
established by la~ in a genuine republic,
no such oppressive acts could afterwards
be made against them: for the Legislators
elected by them would not dare to commit
what the Roman Emperors and Senators
did. Instead Of being the victims OF edicts
framed expressly 70 wiring money to pay for
the pAgeAnts. feats, luxuries and other en-
ormous extravAgAnces Of irresponsible
rulers, labor would itself be the law River

There are three great flying ma
chimes in process Of construction,
and all nearly ready for trial. One
is at Portsmouth, England, and
could nave made a voyage on
the 10th of October across the
channel and back, but was not
quite ready. Another is now COM
plete at San Francisco, and its pro-
jector suppose that he can make a
trip to New York at the rate of
one hundred miles an hour. A
third is about to he built in New
York by W. ]. Lewis its inventor.
1t is said that a body of scientific
men have examined the model,
its principles and operation, and
pronounce them perfect for their
purpose. Mr.. Lewis will use IA
powerful steam engine, and eX-
pects to attain two hundred miles
an hour Bishop Rerkley said the
time would come when man
would order his flying machine as
commonly as he would call for his
boots. The New Orleans Times
suggests that perhaps that time
has come. SdUdnGb NelcS.

THE DREAMER.

All day the white-haired woman sits.
Beside the open door, and kaits.
No living thing her dim eye sees,
AS busy with old memories,
She dreams her dreams of what has been,
And knits her Old-time fancies in.
She thinks of those who, long ago,
Went out across the threshold low,
How many times her listening ear
Has thought familiar footsteps near
And she has started up to find
A dead leaf rustIlng in the wind.
But never as to those who lie
Beneath the wide and tender sky,
With folded hands on quiet breast,
All wrapped about with peace and rest;
She thinks of them for her they tread
The greenearth with her. None are dead.
Though years have fallen like the leaves
About the graves where summer weaves
Her grass-fringed cOverlet. to keep
Safe hid from us the ones asleep,
She sees them ALL Not grass nor mold
Can hide the ones she loved of old.
She talks with them. When brown winged
bee
Makes merry in the locust-tree,
SIZE thinks he comes snd sits with her,
Whose voice was loves interpreter.
Oh. dreamer! young again to-day,
What matter if your hair is gray?
Sometimes she thinks that round her knee
Her children play in happy glee,
And when they tired and sleepy grow,
She sings some songs of long ago:
And on Der loving mother breast
She rocks the little ones to rest.
On, dreamer, knitting all the day
Your dreams in with your stitches gray,
Yours is happy, happy heart
A haunted world from ours apart;
The years that turned your tresses gray
Have given You back your youth to-day.

Don't.

Don't insult a poor man. His muscles may have been develop ed.
 Don't fret, the world will move on as usual after you are gone.
 Don't color merchaumS for a living. It's simply dyeing by in- ches.
 Don't say, "I told you SOP" Two to one you never said a word about it.
 Don't throw dust in your teach er's eyes. It may injure the pu- pill
 Don't buy a coach to please your wife. Better make her a little sulky.
 Don't write long obituaries. Save some of your kind words for the living.
 Don't publish your acts of char ity. The Lord will keep the ac- count.
 Don't mourn over fancied grie- vances. Bide your time, and real sorrow will come.
 Don't finger where "your love lies dreaming" Wake her up, and tell her to get breakfast"

New Years Lessons.

It was growing toward daylight when MT. Seizky reached his home on January 1st. 1876. He had been to the club, and there had been a little jollificatlon.
 When he had succeeded in open ing his front door, in which he was aided by policeman. he as- cended the stairs to his bedroom heartily thanking, in hls mind, the man who invented hannlSters and entered the chamber where his wife was not wrapped in the arms of Morpheus but sitting bolt upright in bed, enveloped in q red flannel night-gOWn. The light of battle was in her eye, and night-cap was on her head As Mir. Seizky balanced himself with
 the aid of the bed-post he smiled and nodded at his wife. ''Drunk, you beast r' remarked Mrs. s. "NOw we discush that pint" said MT. s. letting go the bed post, and after skirmishing around for while, he succeeded in bring ing chair to @ standstill and clutching it by the back he plant ed himself in an oratorical atti- tude and proceeded: "Mrs. S., were you ever drunk ?" "Why, you brute, you know that never was" "Then Mrs. S., premize me to remark that you ain't com- pitable - comportable - cOmput- com" "Oh, say competent at once, you old jackass," burst in his wife. "YOu're rig, my dear. Competent to give an 'piniOn. When I say to you, Mrs. S., that dress you wear doesn't become you, what do you reply? Don't you say, "Old beetle you don't wear dry-goods, and you ain't competent to give an 'pinion. You don't get drunk, and you ain't competent to give an 'pinion Isn't that logic ?" And he let go the chair to make an impressive gesture, but before the gesture would be completed, he found himself waltzing around the room, grabbing at d table, a chair, a mantIepiece, a lOoking-glass, and other articles which go to the making up of a bed-room's furni- ture. He at length brought up on a sofa, and though his exer- l tions had been intense, @ sweet smile sat upon his countenance.
 But the smile vanished very soon, for his wife had jumped out of bed, and was pulling him by the hair and shouting: "Oh, you brute You drunken beast ! You old beetle headed loafer You have gone and squashed my best bonnet as flat as a Passover cake." By this time she had managed to tumble Mir Seizky'S form to the floor, and was holding the dilapi- dated bonnet in her hand. She then sat down on the sofa, and commenced shedding tears over the wreck of her beautiful bonnet. My jear," said MT. s. from his bed on the floor, Git doesn't look we'll in woman of your age to be weeping over an old hat. It isn't philersophercal. And, permiz me to say, that it doesn't add to the beauty of a woman of your age to be dressed in a red -hannal night gown, and with bare legs sitting on a sofa weeping" MT. Seizky didn't say any more. Just then his head coming in contact with something hard, and it kept com ing in contact with it a number | of times. A boo6ack in the h lands of an infuriated wife most always has soothing effect. It's sooth- ing powers were SO effective on this occasion that MT. S. didn't make any calls yesterday, and he will have to wear soft hat down town for the next two weeks.
