A New Pompeii has been discovered in
Italy. At the foot of Mount Gargano q
buried town has been laid bare, the houses
being twenty feet below the surface. A tenn
pie of Diana was first brought to light, then
portico composed Of columns without cap
itals, and, finally, a metropolis covering four
acres. The Italian Government has taken
measures to continue the excavations on q
large scale, and has already discovered a
monument erected in honor of Pompey after
his victory over the pirates The town is
the ancient Sipontum, of which Strabo and
Livy speak, and which was buried by an
earthquake,

Soon after the Copernican system of as
tronomy began to be generally understood,
an old farmer went to his parson with the
following inquiry; "Dr, T., do yon believe
in the new story they tell about the earth
moving around the sun - Yes, certainly"
"Do you think it is according to the Scrip
lures If it's true, how could Joshua com
mand the sun to stand still ?" "Umph p
quoth the parson ; Joshua commanded the
sun to stand still, did he ?" "Yes." "Well,
"Very well. Did you ever hear that he set
it going again ?"

Poe Reciting THE Raven.

Once in discussing "The Raven" Poe OBJ
served that he had never heard it correctly
delivered by even the best readers-that is,
not as he desired that it should be read. That
evening number of visitors being present,
he was requested to recite the poem, aud
complied. His impressive delivery held the
company spell-bound, but in the midst Of
it, |, happening to glance toward the open
window above the level roof of the green
house, beheld group of sable faces the
whites of whose eyes shone in strong relief
against the surrounding darkness These
were number of our family servants, who
having heard much talk about 'Mr. Poe, the
poet" and having but an imperfect idea of
what a poet was, had requested permission
Of my brother to witness the recital. As the
speaker became more impassioned and excl
ted, more conspicuous grew the circle of
white eyes. until when at length he turned
suddenly toward the window, and extending
his arm, cried, with awful vehemence
"Get thee back into the tempest and the nights
Plutonian shore ~
there was sudden disappearance of the sa-
BILE visages, a scuttling of feet and the gall
lery audience was gone. Ludicrous as was
| the incident, the final touch was given when
| at that moment Miss Poe, who was an ex-
traordinary character in her way, entered
the room with dull and drowsy delibera-
tion seated herself on her brothers knee.
He had subsided from his excitement into a
gloomy despair, and now, fixing his eyes
upon his sister, he concluded
"And the raven never nltting still is sitting. still s
| is sitting,
on the palid bust OF Pallas Just above my chamber
| door;
And It's eyes have all the seeming OF demon that is
drcaming-"
The effect was irresistible aud as the
final "nevermore" was solemnly uttered
the half-suppressed litter of two very young
persons in corner was responded to by a
general laugh. Poe remarked quietly that
on his next delivery of public lecture he
would take Rose along to act the part of
the raven, in which she seemed born % ex-

THE SONG OF THE OYSTER.

oh Jolly old bird is the oyster 1sh,
AS he sits In his pearly shell,
A-thnklng how many a delicate dish
lie can make when cooked we'll
Broiled or roast,
Served on toast,
or raw on dainty platter:
Escalop or stew,
Either will do,
Or fried In crumbs or batter.
And knowing old 1sh Is the oyster bird,
As he slyly seems TO doze
For he drops not hint he speaks not word
or all the secrets he knows
Bissful hours,
Shady bowers,
Whispering low and sweet,
Booty delights,
Merry old nights
When Jolly old cronies meet.
