THE HOMES OF THE ANCIENT
ROMANS.

The internal courts were usually con-
structed SO that each was surrounded by
apartments which, when lighted from
within, prevented the domestic concerns
of the family from being overlooked by
any one not included within the walls.
From passage in Plautus, it does not
appear that this construction always an
swered the purpose; and in Seneca men,
ton is made OF the annoyance to which
neighbors were subjected from the dis
orderly conduct of those persons who
changed night into day by indulging in
the false refinement and late hours of the
age in which he lived. In the Roman
houses, also, there appears to have been
after the Eastern fashion, remote or in
ner court for the apartments of the fe-
males, accessible only by an outer court
for those OF the males, and of the SER
wants. The information conveyed to us
in the works of Vitruvius has received
singular illustration and confirmation
within period less than century, from
the excavations at Pompeii, Herculane-
um and Stabia, cities which were over
whelmed by a tremendous eruption
of Vesuvius in A. d. 70, and which
contained houses built and inhabited by
Romans belonging to the age of Vitru-
vius. These excavations exhibit curious
paved streets, having the tracks of car
rage wheels marked on them, and
houses built of brick and rubble work
put together with mortar, all the mate
rails being of very inferior quality, ex-
cept the interior coating of plaster, to
which they appear to have been chiefly
indebted for their durability. This plas-
ter was composed of lime and pounded
marble, substitute for stucco, and by
it's use a perfectly smooth and polished
surface was obtained, nearly as hard as
marble. With this kind OF stucco the
smallest apartments at Pompeii are
found to be lined; and this lining is

The mother dies, and lies buried, and
by the world forgotten but the child
of her prayers, grown into a Christian
manhood, in the great city is drawing
multitudes to Christ. The seed, planted
with tears in the boys heart, may have
been long in catching root; but the
seed burst at last into the warm, moist
soil of his great, tender nature, and the
plant, grown vigorous, has been she'd

of an innumerable number. Christ put

that it should work there until the

FUNERAL SERMON rNs1NcER1rY.

To preach funeral sermon over a
good man, praising his good life, COM
mending it as an example to the living,
and soothing the mourners by con-
temptation of the virtues Of the depart
ed, is high and graceful task. 1t is
in line with the custom of those CLASH
cal peoples whom we call pagan because
they subdivided the persons of their
gods more than we, to pronounce fun
eral orations over the great dead. But
in our different circumstances the
preaching of funeral sermons runs into
the abandonment of discrimination.
The preacher is not even allowed to
limit his funeral preaching to the MEM
bers of his own church. Even in his
own sheep there may be wethers whose
lives are not commendable but he
must also preach over their relations
who do not belong to his flock over
their seapegrace sons over their in
fants, who have not yet had any lives
to make an example of indeed, over
anybody that happens to drop there.
In the case of his morally inferior sheep
he has to be silent on their failings,
and to strain at their undeveloped vir-
tues. In the case of their 'impenitent"
or wicked sons and other relations he
has to invent some way of slipping
them through the judgment which he
has preached for all men. Thus his
funeral sermons contradict his preached
faith, and he breaches judgment to the
living only to snatch the dead from it.
To argue that this custom of prevarica-
ton, because it is called Christian char
ity, will not have the inevitable effect
of falsehood in loosening the character,
is to deny that habitual sin is grow
ing force of moral degeneracy. Does
it not bring the preacher to regard this
as lawyer regards his peryerting Of
justice as professional function which
absolves him from moral principle I?
And can this be without an effect on
character Who can measure how
much this untruthfulness undermines
the preachers truth in all things and
makes him look upon all as merely pro-
fessional :? Cincinnati Commercial Ca

ed marbles, forming, perhaps, a species
OF scagliola, also decorate the walls of
their houses. Few blocks of real marble
are found, except in monuments and
public buildings; though, in imitation
OF the wealthy Romans, the Pompeians
inserted pieces or slabs OF this material
In their walls, and employed art to give
them higher tints than those they DOS
sessed by nature. They also discovered
a method Of veining slabs with gold; and
leaves OF this metal covering the beams,
walls and even roots of the houses. were
introduced in great profusion. They
covered their floors with cement, in which
small pieces of marble or colored stones
were regularly imbedded in geometricaI
forms; and in their best rooms they used
mosaic Gulaid work. with ornamented
margins and device in the center. The
doors of their houses, being formed of
wood, have been reduced to charcoal by
the burning lava, and Of course are
found in an incomplete state; they turned
on pivots, and were fastened by bolts
which hung upon chains. Bedsteads
are found, made both Of wood and iron;
but their beds were made generally Of
carpets and material, spread upon the
ground. The articles of household fur
niture end convenience found in these
remarkable ruins are utensils of every
kind in silver, brass, stone and earthen-

CHRISTIANITY.

Christianity gives proof of its divin-
ity in its power to transmit itself from
age to age and from individual to indi-
vidual without losing one whit of its
original force. Christianity is subjected
to no law Of inertia. The momentum
given to it by the omnipotent hand of
its Founder is never overcome. 1t
moves straight on, gathering in its prog
ress new power of development, null
tiplying new forces of life at each on
ward stage. The old original energy
with which the gospel spread through
Samaria was operative years after in
conquering the Roman world, and later
still in diffusing itself through Europe.
1t is something marvellous how vital
is this terminating quality of Christi
anity. A seed of gospel truth, waited
by some wayward wind to some desert
spot, takes root, and wide waste soon
blooms like rose. In some lone farm
house mother at twilight hour gath
ers her child to her knee and teaches

their barbarism. The church has not
reformed it from human grossness and
corruption.
We cali upon men to love God, be-
cause he is love, love only, all-wise love,
universal love, almighty love, love in
darkness as in light, love in pain as in
pleasure, love in sorrow as in joy, love
in death as in life; because through
darkness he brings us to light, through
pain to noblest pleasure, through sor-
row and death to endless life and JOY
With this thought of God filling the
soul, sin is impossible, and the love Of
God certain. 1t was thus that the full
ness of the Godhead dwelt bodily in
Christ. 1t is thus that God dwells in
men, and they in God. Thus finally
God shall be all in all. And so we
preach the love of God, that men may
love him with pure heart fervently.
We know that Gods love is more ear
nestly proclaimed than formerly, with
hopeful results. AS men see it more
clearly they are won by it's beauty and
glory to imitation of it. And when our
faith is universally and fully accepted,
we may hope for universal righteous
ness.
There are other particulars in which
L might show the use of preaching
Gods universal and ever abiding and
unchapging love, though, or rather be-
cause, in the ages to come it will bring
all into one fold under one shepherd. 1
have not alluded to the greater peace
our faith gives to its believers in life
to the fact that it ascribes to God the
only character which it is possible to
imitate,-"Be ye followers Of him as
dear children, with regard to the
continuance of society and of the race;
to the universal love of man, which it
alone suggests and enforces. But these
things show the utility of Universalism,
teaching as it does the final ingathering
of the whole family at the Fathers
table, no child of the myriads of hui
mainly being absent. Only through
fervent belief in its doctrines can we
find implicit trust in God; only thus
does perfect comfort come to us in ev-
cry affectional emergency; only thus
can we be fully dissuaded from sin and
won to the love of God, the spirit of
holiness and peace. This truth makes
free, it frees from doubt and gloom
and sorrow and fear and sin. | will

ANARCHISTS IN AMERICA.

The revelations made in the trial of
the Chicago Anarchists are such as to
awaken the deepest interest in the
problem of Anarchy and Socialism in
America. The confession made on the
witness stand by one of the accused
unmarked terrible diabolism, that
might be expected in Russia, but GER
tainly not in the United States. 1t was
shown, by several witnesses, that these
men, most of them Poles, proceeded,
with the utmost deliberation, to man.
ufacture bombs, and to carry on
course of instruction in the nature and
use of dynamite. The ideas of the
most ultra-Anarchists were instilled
into the minds of the ignorant and de-
PRAYED members of the order. Men
were regularly and Systematically drill
ed in the handling of firearms. The
secret order had become so large and
far-reaching that notices in cipher were
printed in the newspapers, calling the
members together for instruction and
practice. The most bitter hatred was
kindled against the police and all per-
sons in authority. Rich men were es-
pecial objects of wrath, and the order
had gone SO far as to point out certain
individuals ''for attack" when the sag
itation" should begin. The attack
meant assassination, and agitation was
the word for revolution. That these
men were not idle dreamers is shown
in the terrible work done by them at
the Haymarket meeting. More than a
dozen picked policemen were murdered
by them, and if the police force of the
city had not done effective and heroic
work at the inception Of the outbreak,
the result can only be surmised. The
punishment of the men engaged in this
work of murder and pillage is the first
thing necessary. After that, let the
question of Anarchy in America be
carefully inquired into by the authori-
ties. Let us know how many cities are
harboring societies such as have been
unmasked in Chicago. In all likelihood,
the organization extends wherever the
frowsy AMI unwashed disciples of Herr
Most have found a Judgment in any
considerable numbers. The reputable
labor organizations of America have
taken decided stand against these dis
turbers and destroyers, and should be
backed up and supported by the author
tiles everywhere. The speedy ratifica-
ton of the new extradition laws would
help along amazingly. Many of the
men who are now amusing themselves
with bombs in America are fugitives,
who might seek some other calling if
the proposed treaty were put in opera
ton. At all events, this is not the field
for them to SOW their seed in. Honest
labor can do great deal toward help
ing to unearth the nests of Anarchists
as they come into existence in the large
cities, and it has already indicated its
willingness to lend hand. The au-
thorities will fail to do their duty il
they do not stop the publication of such
newspapers as preach the doctrine of
the Anarchists. There are still few
of these printed secretly in America,
and their influence dpon the class for
whom they are published is most dan
gerous. Anarchy in America must not
be tolerated in whatever shape it may
present itself.-Ctncinnati Graphic.

the assertion that, Of all nations, English
men were most distinguished for gener-

evidently made q great mistake, for his
expression should have been that they

A funny story is told of noted
English clergyman now travelling in the
East. He is said to have rewarded his
dragoman SO literally, that that worthy

OF the ecclesiastic when he discovered
that he had aided and abetted his servant

"A clergyman in Scotland who was
more skillful as an angler than popular

killed salmon, an achievement on which
ne plumed himself greatly. "Aweel, sir"
observed one of the company, " would

Henry Ward Beecher, by his lect-

straitness. 1 was sexton of my own
church at that time. There were no
lamps there, SO I bought some; and 1
filled them and lit them. 1 swept the
church and lighted my own fire. 1 did
not ring the bell, because there was
none to ring. l opened the church be-
fore prayer meeting and preaching, and
locked it when they were over. Wewere
all poor together. And to the day OF
my death L shall never forget one of
those faces, or hear one OF those names
spoken without having excited in NV
mind the warmest remembrances. Some
of them 1 venerate, and the memory of
some has been precious as well as fruit
