At . Dinner in Rome.

Upon the three wooden couches which
formed three sides of a square in the enter
of the room there reclined nine Romans,
for the giver of the feast had borne in mind
the saying of Varro that those invited
should never be more in number than the.
muses. nor less han the graces.
The guests wore wreaths of roses
upon their oiled locks-most of them,
although one. Whose white tunio bore the
single dark stripe Of a senator, had pre-
ferred the crown of ivy leaves. The touches
whereon they reclined were of wood thickly
incrusted with ivory, and made easier by;
many cushions covered with light silks.
The guests leaned on their left elbows,
and ate with their right hands only. At
The end of the course silent servants,
brought water in silver bowls and preferred
linen napkins that the fingers might be-
washed, while another attendant wiped the.
low wooden table with a thick cloth.
In the open space before the table and
the couches other slaves were casting
down Saffroned dyed sawdust, that e.
might absorb the blood which lay in little
pools upon the pale pavement. There the
gladiators had been fighting but a mo-
ment before. to entertain the guests At
the banquet, and having given . strong
proofs Of their skill and Of their courage
they had been dismissed, and were now
behind the house, out Of sight, one trying
to stanch his wounds, the other stiff I'M
death and carried by his comrades.-Bran-
der Matthews in Harper'A.

Tho Origin Of "Brother Jonathan"

Tho origin OF 'bFOtner JOnACnA0s 'slS
It seems strange to speak Of the United.
States as Brother Jonathan" and the
wonder is how it ever began; but on in-t
curing into the matter we find that the
custom arose from an ordinary remark
made by General Washington at the be-
ginning Of the Revolutionary war. On
going to Massachusetts to organize the
army he found it scant Of ammunition
and all means Of defense, and no one could
suggest any way out Of the difficulty.
Something must be done at once for the
public safety, and General Washington,
who had great confidence in the Judgment
of Governor Jonathan Trumbull, of Con-.
necticut, said in his dilemma, "We must
consult Brother Jonathan on the subject,
Brother Jonathan" was equal to the 90;
casion, and supplied many Of the lacking
necessities, and afterward during the war
it became the custom in any emergency to
say, 1--WE must consult Brother Jonathan.'0
In time the name became applied to the
whole country, and It is pleasant to know
that the great Washington himself was the
originator of it.-Harper's Young People,
