LOVE AND LIFE.

Sweet, we were happy, you and I,
Ere words of warfare came between;
Ere storms of passion swept our sky,
That all so blue and bright had been.
But like mad stream dashing,
Its vernal banks o'ersplashing,
Our swordlike speech came flashing
And sundered all between.
Love, it was as the heavens are
Upon a clear and cloudless night,
When every golden, cleaning star
That earthward smiles is shining bright.
But peace afar was driven,
By jealous doubtings driven,
Till loves serenest heaven
Was turned to darkest night.
Life, it was sweet, and free from care,
For love and faith in you were life,
And both in you seemed doubly fair,
Who were with double fairness rife.
But from the wordy shower
Of doubt and anger's hour
Sprang forth a bitter flower
To poison love and life.

IN THE RUINS OF POMPEll.
Evidences of the Commences of Slavery
Found on All Sides.

Evidences of the commences of slav-
cry in the time Of Pompeii s destruction
are abundant on all sides. The gladia
tors were a class of slaves trained for
fighting, and some Of the wall scrib-
blings refer to their condition as one of
slavery. Here is the translation Of an
advertisement painted on wall near
the amphitheater:
"Twenty pairs of gladiatOrs, paid by
Decimus Lucretius Saltius Valeus, prince
in the time of Nero, the son Of Caesar
Augustus, and ten pairs of gladiators,
paid by Decimus Lucretius, the son of
Decimus Valeus, will fight at POmpeii
on the 18th, 18th and 18th of April.

TOasts.

In olden days our ancestors approved
of using toasted bread with their drinks,
and toast still floats in the loving cup,
and also the cups called copus, bishop
and cardinal at the universities. Hence
the lady named or the sentiment pro-
posed was the toast or SAVIOR of the
wine which gave the draft piquancy.

A GOOD DANCER.

The men tell me that I am pretty
good dancer myself, which may or may
not be the case.
This, however, I will own up to-,
whether it is Boosting Or mott do know
whether a man is a good dancer Or
whether he is not from the very first
moment my finger tips drop upon his
arm.
That man about whom [ was let in
for SO much unmerciful chaff at our last
assembly ball is very good case in
point Whatever were his other draw
backs, he was undoubtedly a good
Waltzer-one Of the best I ever danced
with
Certainly, as it tined out, he did not
dance with >.iy other girls, but I don't
see that that weakens my statement.
You cannot judge much of the way a
man dances by merely looking at his
heels Or watching the way he handles
his partner.
know most of them would give their
ears now to say that they had danced
with him. They don't say so, of course.
They say they'd never have danced with
man to whom they had never been in
trOduced.
My fascinating partner and I never
were formally introduced The thing
was quite simple, and I daresay the
trick has been played thousands of times
before. Ask you own brother, on his
honor, if he is innocent of it.
The assembly ball was gathering of
no particular clique or set. It was a
room full of people who were in great
measure strangers to one another.
With this last assembly I was feeling
at first more than usually out of tune,
because, although had been standing
by mamma good ten minutes, had up
till then only ten names scrawled down
on my programme, and had no others
in view.
So when man came up from behind,
bowed, addressed me by name and asked
for dance felt distinctly glad to see
him. He was rather tall, dark, with
black eyes, black mustache and good
teeth, and, for anything I knew, his
name might have been Adam.
I couldn't do less than bow slightly
and conclude that had been introduced
to him one of the previous years. 7 also
saw fit to give him waltz ''No. T."
which he asked for.
"And would you take compassion on
me and give me another?" said he. IT
know SO few people here this year-at
least SO few that care to dance with.
Awfully obliged"
1 suppose the compliment was a trifle
broad, but it tickled me at the time, and
gave him the dance next after supper.
BY the way" said he, "are you en-
gagged for the first extra?' I suppose
they have such thing?"
From that very first moment 7 told
myself Twas in luck's way At the first
sweep of the waltz I knew it. By the
time we made the first round of the
floor felt that could have danced on
with that partner forever.
We danced the dance through to it's

fascinating partner-a thing which ]
very rarely allow myself to say to any
man after waltz, lest it should make
him unduly' conceited-I said, "Thank
you. /"
"Thank you very much, replied he.

licious dance before. Gould you give me
another?"

suggested
So gave him the supper dance when
he asked for it, and the extras after,
and the polka before.
He left me then, and for the most
part he stood with his back against a
pillar, his hands in his pockets and a
very bored expression on his dark, hand
some face.
must confess that we had the fourth
ogether-another waltz. Those tire
some men either wouldn't dance or
didn't know me, and I saw visions of
sitting it out in single blessedness, when

Soon afterward he took me up stairs
and laughed and showed ne snug lit
tie sitting room, which even I had not
known of before. He said it belonged to
the manager Or some one and was not
supposed to be used.

and 1t is matter or record that at least
1900 were engaged at one time in the
life Or death combats which stretched
over a long festival. The actors in these
murderOus sports were "barbarians''
from various parts of Europe or from
. Asia Minor and Africa.

ming away" could not help thinking
while looking at this ingenious and
cruel substitute for a convict's dress
that it was possible that the poor wretch
who wore it may have been one of the
descendants Of the blond haired Brit
ons brought home by Julius Caesar to
grace his triumph 100 years before Pom
peii disappeared beneath it's pail of lava
and ashes.
In the Gheezeh museum, Cairo, one
may look upon the black and shriveled
face of that Rameses whom we know as
the Pharaoh of the Oppression. Mum
mics of other Egyptian kings, priests
and people are common enough. These
primeval men, who far antedated Pom
peii and Rome, stand undecayed in our
presence. But Pompeii presents the pic
ture of an entire city resurrected from
the dead, with all it's appliances of life
and means of pleasure, profit, comfort,
luxury, vice and sustenance. The life is
gone out forever, but the mummifed
city remains-a monument Of human
ingenuity and human frailty.-New

Napoleon and America.
Whatever chagrin the Americans may
have felt at the termination Of their ne
gotiations was compensated for largely
by the magnificent way in which the
signing Of the treaty (of 1901 was cele-
brated. At Mortefontaine, Joseph Bona
parties home, fete was given to the
commissioners, at which the first con-
sui himself was present. The dinner
consisted of 1870 covers laid on three ia
bles in three halls communicating with
each other. The first was called the Hall
OF Union; the second and third bore the
names of Washington and Franklin. All
three were decorated with appropriate
symbols and legends.
After dinner the first toast, proposed
by Bonaparte, was, "To the names of
the French and Americans who died on
the field of battle for the independence
Of the new world" Ca1nbaceres, Sec
ond consul, proposed the next toast, "To
the successor of WashiD gton. F." The next
was by Third Consul Lebrun, 'To the
union of America with the powers of
the north to enforce respect for the lib
erty of the seas.
After the dinner the party walked in
the park, where the project of Morte
fontaine presented Bonaparte with
quantity of Roman coin found in the
neighborhood. Bonaparte completed his
efforts at Precipitation by giving them to
Mr.. Davie, saying: "These Roman med
ais, sir, have just been found in France.

America, so that the monuments of the
Roman republic may become pledges of
amity and union between the republics

Water Column 90, 10000 Miles Long.
The finite mind is utterly incapable
of framing an idea or of making COM
parison that will properly illustrate the
vast amount Of water now existing in
the five great oceans of our planet. Let
us see: One gallon of water weighs ten
pounds, ana figures on the area and
depth Of the Pacific show that there are
approximately 2O0,OOO,0OO, 900, 900 of
such gallons Of water in that ocean
alone. The Atlantic could be put down
in the basin of the Pacific, and only fill
it one third full. The Indian, the Arctic
and Antarctic oceans, combined with
the other two would give an area for
the five of 142, 100000 square miles.
Formed into circle this would make
an ocean $4,000 feet in depth and 49,,
900 miles from bank to bank. The
contents would be about 1876, 900, 900
cubic miles of water. If a standpipe
could be built from the earth to the
sun, so that we could have a column of
water 90, 900, 900 miles in length, that
standpipe would have to be made ~
miles in diameter to hold the water now
contained in the five great oceans. It
has been figured that it would take
1900, 600 years for the water Of the Pa
cif1c to flow over Niagara, the volume
being continually as great as that which
is now plunging over the falls.-St.
Louis Republic.
