Naples

Laughing Naples! 1t has a charm of
its own-a charm which is irresistible. It
never goes to bed. Early in the morning
may be heard the tinkle of goat-bells
and the patter of mult;tudinous hoofshur-
rying to pasture. Then comes the quick
tramp OF the regiments, headed by bands
out on their days exercise; the city cries
of fish and fruit and water; the horns of
the tramway omnibuses; the thousand
voices of men and women and children
who all seem to shout together and to
shout forever; all these noises begin
the day in good time, and 60 on without
intermission, save Tor siesta in the sum-
mer, till far into the night. When the
sun has gone down, there are no more
goat-bells nor the tramp of soldiers to
swell the ceaseless uproar; but, instead
of these mandolin players wander from
house to house, singing safely for soldi
those Neapolitan love-songs which once
were sung only for love and at risk. I
is a strange fall in poetry to hear these
caressing and passionate strains, which
were once worth so much life blood OF
gallant men and lovely women, coarsely
screamed beneath the balcony by some
ragged robin who would rather die in the
sun than work in the shade; and who
wanders about twanging his mandolin
and giving out his songs until he has
scraped just enough tor his supper Of
macaroni and red wine. But very little
romance is left in the world anywhere
and even Naples has become in certain
sense, prosaic like the rest.

Books Among the Ancients.

The use of educated slave labor In writ
ing rendered books comparatively cheap
among the ancients. We learn from
Plato that in his time the works of the
philosopher Anaxagoras were sold in the
theater at Athens for drachma, or about
seventeen cents Of our money, and even if
as some ofthe commenttal think, only a
single treatise of Anaxagoras is spoken
Of, this is cheaper than the rate at which
opera librettos or other printed phamph-
lets are sold at our places OF public
amusements at the present day. The
poet Martial tells us that his works were
sold in distant Britain at price quite as
low as a good copy of them could be
bought for to-day in London. tits diff
cult in these instances TO estimate in
modern currency the actual value of books
or other articles of sale, on account of
the variation in the value OF the precious
metals at different periods.
Some writer's on political economy
have assumed the market price of wheat
as standard of comparison in measuring
the values of other commodities at differ
ent historical periods, but as the price of
flour within the recollection of this gen
Grafton has f1uctuated between the ex-
IRENE limit of $3.50 and $50 per barrel at
retail, his standard can ecarcely be &C
copied as a sound basis for very accurate
calculations. Besides, the values OF the
ancient coins differed at different periods
and if it be stated that the price of q
particular book was dracLma, we are a,
loss in determining whether reference
is made to the drachma of the fathers or 8
trade drachma. But without engaging in
such abstruse calculations, it is enough te
know that books in the brilliant Athen
ian period and under the Roman Empire
we're much cheaper than they were at any
time during the first three centuries aftel
the discovery of the printing press.

He Forgot His Catechism.

Some time ago the son of very dis
tinguished English nobleman entered a
crack cavalry corps, and his brother of
fcers finding that he was nervous, eccen-
trio and credulous, Of course began to
play tricks on him. The regiment hap
pened to be stationed at York, and the
colonel asked the archbishop to dine at
mess. The invitation was accepted, and
day or two before the dinner took place
a wicked wag said to Mr.. r., "Do you
know your catchism?" No at all well"
"Well, by Jove, then you'd better lose no
time in setting to work. Don't you
know that it is always the custom for the
archbishop, when he dimes at mess, to
put, the junior cornet through 1t, and
you're youngest cornet? wouldn't lose
minute. Not to know it would be to
disgrace the regiment" Poor R., rushed
for prayer book and stuck manfully to
his task, but found it tough work. The
fatal evening came. he couldn't eat q
mouthful for nervousness. Dessert was
put on the table, then coffee came, and
then his Grace rising, advanced, smiling
benignly, toward the end OF the table,
intended in the pleasantest manner to
make acquaintance with junior officers
and invite them to call atthe palace. APP

The reaction in favor of farming, as
against ventures in city life and mercan-
tile BUSINESS, is becoming SO marked as to
attract attention from the press all over
the country. The OVERLOOKING cities with
their starving thousands, and the appall-
ing list of business failures begin to
teach young men (and old ones also) that
it is safer to invest in small farm which
will surely bring a subsistence even if
it be frugal one, than to peril all in
the one chance QUITO five thousand lot
terry of city life. And so far as health
and happiness are concerned the bal
ance on the farmers side is almost inva
riably heavily in favor. Says the Boston
Journal: Great changes have been made
III the methods OF farming. 1t is no long
er life of drudgery, and it has been
| demonstrated in thousand OF instances
that high intelligence and rare judgment
have produced no more satisfactory or
real results than when employed in New
England agriculture. There is good rea
son to believe the movement has begun
which in ten or twenty years will restore
to the agricultural portions of New Eng
land nearly as large population as they
maintained before the era of manufac-
turing enterprise, with greater prosperi-
| ty. It may not be amiss in this connec-
ton to suggest to boards of agriculture
in New England that they could do theil
States no greater service than to collect
information of the location and value OF
farms for sale in order that hundreds oil
