reply. L am sorry for that, he said. i wish
to buy Il pair Of diamond earrings for my
wife This was repeated on four or five
successive days. The last time he said he
would not wait 10 see NE, but would look
at sos,a earrings. The clerk showed him
an assnr,meut and he finally selected three
pairs, valued al $500 and said, guess will
let nv wife select from these. She will be
at my office in all hour, and | want you to
tell Mr.. johnson to bring these around him
self, as he is acquainted with my wife All
right, sir, will, replied the clerk. by
the way, said the fellow, ifyou will permit
me. will write a note to Dir. Johnson,
'Certainlr,' said The clerk, as he showed
him . Gesk and pointed out where he
could get paper and envelopes. he sat
down. wrote Il short note, folded lE ana
put il in aa envelope and directed 1t to
me. Then he vert back 10 the counter
and said 10 the clerk, J thinll you had better put
the three pairs Of earrings in here, so that Oar:
Johnson viii be sure to bring the right ones.
VERY well. said the clerk, who handed out three
pairs o. earrings. The fellow dropped them III
the cnvcope before the clerks eyes, and was ap.
parcntlv about to seal the envelope when he SAID
suddenly, Oh, guess you may pat IN that other
pair pointing to pair that the clerk had laid on
the shelf behind him. The clerk turned and got
the ether pair and handed them to the fellow,
who dropped them apparently into the same cn,

said Let Dir. Johnson bring the four pairs 10 my
Office rs soon nc comes back, giving the name

WAS tho last pair dropped il. The other three
nairs were paste about the same size. The fellow
had taken two OF my envelopes, and iAtn QUO he

A PEEP AT pOAlPEII.
From the Toledo Blale.l

Among The cxhumations Of which casts
were made was that of an old man prone
upon the noor of tie cellar Of his house,
with bags Of gold and iewelry clasped TO his
breast When the alarm Of the first shower
Of death fell upon the doomed city he
sought safety in flight Then the thought
pi ,i.c gold !ha; lie had loiled and toiled for
30 icng came - him. There was 40 time
i3r &2:;,;. Minutes we've evcrythiE@-stC-
onAa ":unled =. that awful moment. lie
started for TIC door, ant could lot leave his
treasure. Down into the vaults NJ w>.!t 10
secure j; Ee grasped the precious Gas= and
turned TO ily. At III" ven! door :hc sitting,
poisonous blast struck him. and he fell AMI
1erished. Twenty centuries after The body
was found, lhc hony fingers claspiug the
BAGS 10 his bosom. a. though he were deter
mined that death should not Wrest them
from hm. There was On his face mixed
EXPRESSION love for his gold and terror at
death, and it woujd DC hard TO say which
was The I3usy pronounced, the terror Of
leaving his money or that Of dissolution.
An0lir" III the same house was pitiiul.
Ii was = young woman, probably the dauSh-
ter OF the miser. She had warning in time,
but her child was in an inner room, and she
rushed irantically to save it, and the delay
was i.ita! 10 both The not, suilocatipg blast
struck her as the door, and she perishcd on
the threshold, with her child clasped TO her
bosom. Both clasped TO their hearts what
WAS most dear TO them--thc father his gold,
and the mother her child.
Gamblers were found scattered about the
tables on which they were playing, the sui
phulous death surprising them at their bIlsi-
ness or pleasure, as they were hawks or
pigeons The gold they were playing for
was lett ,iDon the tables, and, by the way,
10 show that humanity i, the same every
where, and in 81! ages, dice was found in
one gambling room, the opposite 10 the SIX
side loaded with lead 10 make suro OF that
nn;nb2r being always thrown. The gambler
in Pompe!i 2O00 Years ago could substitute
false disc !0i honest Gmcs, and plunder the
innOcenl rs well is now.
Cellars and repositories oi food we're
found, s0mc OF them in a good state O. pre-
servatioD, as the shower Of ashes bad her
mr;ically sealed them. !; is II singular fact
that We are indebted to Pompcii fer the
great industry Of canning fruit. Years age,
when the excavations were Just beginning,
