New Houses on Old Sites.

There are. no doubt, many persons
now living in Rome who have beneath
them the residence of some gentleman
of tho Middle Ages, under which, per-
haps, is the home of a Roman family
of the time of the Caesars; and this may
have been built upon the foundations
of another Roman house, which was
considered good place 10 live in
some five OF six hundred years before.
1t must be very satisfactory thing,
when one is going to build n house, to
find beneath the ground some good
substantial walls which will make eX-
ccllent foundations. 1t very often
happens that these remains of ancient
buildings are built of larger stones, and
are frmcr and more solid than the
houses which are erected upon them.
There is another side, however, to this
matter, and the remains of old build
ings are frequently very much in the
way OF those who wish TO erect new
houses, for it does not always occur
that the ancient walls are in the right
places, or of a suitable kind, to serve
as foundations for the modern build
ing. Then they have to be dug up
and taken out, which is great labor.
There is handsome American church
in Rome. When this was built, the
work was made very expensive by the
difficulty of getting rid of portions Of
walls, arches, rooms. and vaults which
/ these Romans had left behind them,
never thinking that in the course o.
ages there might be such people as
/ Americans who would wish to build {
church here. -Frank r. Stockton, IN

Wall Street Bears and Their Opora-
tionS.

Brokers and operators are clears"
when they have sold stock, and par
ticularly stock that they did not own,
contracting to deliver it at some future
time. They are then "short Of the
market" The disposition of the bear
is to pull things down. The Wall
street bear is often found cunning 4
stock' by putting forth all his strength
and craft to break down the price, and
especially when aware that certain
house is heavily loaded and can not
resist his attack. He "buys i'm by
purchasing stock to meet a "short"
contract, or to return borrowed stock;
Covers or covers his shorts by
buying stock TO fulfill his contract on
the day of delivery. This is 4 self
protective measure. and is called
covering short sales" A drop" in
the price of q stock is to bear the
next best thing to "break." He re-
ioiccs in an ''olr" market when prices
fall. He ''sells out" man by forcing
down the price OF Il stock that the per-
son is carrying so low that he is
obliged to let it 60, and perhaps TO
fail. He groans Justify when the bulls
get "twist on the shorts" by artiti-
cially raising prices, and Squeezing"
or compelling the bears to settle at
ruinous rates Neither "bull'' nor
"boar" is an altogether safe "crittcr. "
The latter, however, is reputed to be
about four times rs mischiovous as the
former, inasmuch us he rudely sells
another mans property, whereas the
bull contents himself with carrying his
own.
The bear occasionally finds himself
in 4 corner" where it is impossible
to buy the stock of which he is
short" and which he must deliver at
specified time. He growls and bcgs,
but must pay what the holders of his
contracts arc willing to accept. Some
relief is afforded by Il "lct up" or the
withdrawal from the market of the
Clique" or pool" or combination
of operators that cornored him. A
"squcal in the pool' is the revelation
of its secrets by one Of its members,
and ''leak in the pool" is when one
of the parties sells out his interest
without the knowledge of the others.
Either form of detection yields some
mitigation to the bears suiferings. -

WHITE AND BLACK ANGELS,
lwrlItca for The Sitter, ;

Not long since, had the pleasure of
listening to a lecture given by l.. b.
Bates, d. ID. of Boston, Mass, on the
above subject,
The theme was handled with such
care, and to my mind, so much common
sense was shown mtreating the same
that should any of the readers of the
SITTER have an opportunity to hear the
worthy Divine trust they will not
fail to do so. The human mind is en-
lowed with such wonderful faculties.
Its surroundings are made up of so
many shades and types of being, that
one is in doubt what pattern to follow.
Study us closely as he may, unless he
first classilics the Angels, giving each
his mcritcd place, he soon may find HIM
self as it were in the shade of darkest
night. To my mind there should be
two classes of Angels, viz: White and
Black. All good of whatever kind,
shown in the human mind and by the
mind to the world, comes either direct
" or indirectly from the White Angels,
while every evil deed comes from the
other class. Bear in mind only two
classes. Should you, contemplating a
good deed to the poor around YOU, a
ride for pleasure or n walk for health,
first look for the class of angels you
wish to lead you in your good work
Both clarses are near and await your
pleasure. Choose the White that your
joy may be full.
For example, man finds himself in
the quiet village of So. Londonderry.
The sky is lined with dark thick clouds
apparently full of rain. He is soon to
leave for the vicinity of Lowell Lake.
There are two ways by which you may
reach this place, one Il pleasant drive
down the river and following the merry,
bubbling, brook u distance of four
miles over a good road; the other over
the hill, passing the site, where the old
wood colored church once stood, wind
ing round the hill and through bushes,
passing the village of the dead, he is on
a good road and soon will be at his jour
neys end. He looks at the dense, thick,
clouds with rain gently falling. He
sees the Angels in waiting. With the
guidance of the White Angel, you de-
eide to 90 over the hill. Although the
rain falls, the winds blow, causing the
umbrella to come down. SO that YOU
are obliged to take the coming storm,
yet, so much comfort, so many things
to see both new and old are pointed
out by the White Angel on the way.
Ere he is aware, hcis safely landed at
the place of his destination. Surprising
he had made choice Of the Black Angel
what think, YOU, would have been the
result?
All the way up and down hill rough
and muddy road, with such rain and
wind as never was seen before, besides
one continual wish that the other road
had been taken. Not always the way
we choose, but to whom we listen for
advice. Choose the white angel then,
pcrchancc it rains, we can enjoy the last
lesson given the students by their spirit
ual teacher. viz: If il rains, let it rain,
always give the Black Angel the back
scat.

The familiarzing of crimc--its haunts,

The familiarzing of crime--its haunts,
its language and profanity, and its a.
chievements-by means of story-papers
and dime-novels, is a matter for the
clergyman, the journalist, the father
and mother, and for every lover of
moral order to look after. The law
should look to this pernicious literature,
which is easily recognizable, if the pre-
vention is better than the cure of vice
and crime. There should be no more
hesitation about SURPRISING a class of
literature that is reeking with all man
ner of indeccnies and vilencss than
there is to the duty of removing a nui-
sance, quarantining an infected house
or checking contlagation.- Watch

A Washington BOOKSELLER says Secre-
tary Bayard reads heavy books. The
only work the President is known to have
purchased lately is that of the Hon.
James G. Blaine. Secretary Whitney
reads great deal. He doesn't con-
fine himself, however, to politics, his
tory, OF philosophy. He is very fond
Of novels and reads many. Some are
the best and some are the lightest. He
is fond of Hugh Conway Miss Murfreee,
and Mrs. AlcXander's works. He
reads such novels as The Vagrant
Wife," 'Thc Tinted Venus" Called
Back" Struck Down." etc. Secre-
tary Endicott reads novels, too. But
he never buys anything in English.
He always gets French novels, and
reads 1t great many OF them. Other
members OF the Cabinet appear to read
little, or at least to buy few books.
