HORACE ANC HIS GARDEN.
The Poet Loved the Country, Yet Moped
When He Was There.

All his life Horace had wished for a
piece of land which contained a garden,
a stream and u coppice, and in the Sa-
bine valley he found all three. TO take
q nap after his brief meal on the grass
hy the stream was to him that exquisite
combination of mental and physical ease
which man is foolish to despise because
it is an enjoyment within the reach
of every other animal as we'll as of him.
self. Horace clearly considered both his
Sabine farm and his villa at Thur
healthier than the capital, especially i'll
the autumn. when all fathers aud
mothers turn pale with fearFfor their
children" It may be doubted if Rome
was SO exempt from malarlal fever at
that time as it is generally thought TO
have been. Once, when he had promised
Mncenas to be away only five days, he
remained at Thur through all the month
Of August, and he begs his dear
friend" if he would have him keep
we'll, to let him stay yet longer, and
even pass the winter out of Rome by the
seaside Che was probably thinking of
Tarentum).
Yet was not there a spice Of truth i'll
the taunt which his servant Davus adj
dressed to the poet, that when Ire had
been too long in the country he moped
to death? We are almost invited to sus~
pect that there was the town was, after
all, the life of his life. One may be sure,
by the bye, that the worthy Davus him
self hated seclusion as much AS any Itai-
ian savant does today. Thur he may
have endured; there he could gossip
with the servants of other villas, but at
the Sabine farm with whom could he
have due chiacchiere except with the
Observation-Disclosures martyr? By immortal
izing the amusing criticism of Davus,
Horace shows that he was the first to OBJ
serve that mo man was a hero to his
valet. '-Contemporary Review.

NEW A CAVE.
Curious Archaic Discovery In a Quarry IL
New Jersey.

Curious Archaic Discovery In a Quarry In
New Jersey.
A force Of men at work getting out
building stone at a large quarry a short
distance below Phillipsburg, n. j., &C
cidentally discovered a mammoth cave
that promises to yield the owner Of the
property a handsome income.
The men were getting ready to blast
when one of their number struck a
crowbar with considerable force on
what seemed to be a hard piece Of stone.
To his surprise the bar went clear
through and disappeared entirely. This
led to the investigation and the uncov-
ering Of the cave.
AS far as the research has gone, the
chamber opened up is nearly $50 feet
long and seems to be divided into nu-
merous circular and oblong shaped
rooms, One of which has something in
1t that looks like petrified wood. Pieces
have been removed and will be submit
ted to scientific test to determine its
character. There are caverns extending
IN divers directions that have not ye,
been explored. From some Of them there
is a rush Of air, as though they might
have a surface opening.
Stalactites and other crystal forma
lions are numerous, and some Of then
are very large and beautiful. Severa
specimens have been secured and sen
to Philadelphia for examination. Quit,
a quantity Of bones have been found
and n report says that several skull
have been unearthed.
There will be a thorough examination
Of the cave by exploring parties, with
view to learning its dimensions, its con
tents and its connection, If any, wit
the outside world. No one will be a
lowed to enter the cav until after tn
exploring party makes its report Ne,

BY THEIR BEST GIRLS.
Two BOastful Country SWANS Held Up by
Their Sw eetiearts.

Their Sweethearts.
Edward Nanderwater aud William
Cornelius were held up the other night
at Hampstead, n. Y. Both young men
lost all their valuables, consisting Of
watches, finger rings and their pocket
books.
The young men, it is asserted, had
often boasted of their physical courage
and declared that if held up their as
s~ailants would fare very badly.
The young women decided to put the
boastful youths to IA test. Nanderwater
and Cornelius were invited to call upon
the girls at s 80. Early in the evening
the young women, SO it is asserted,
donned two suits belonging to Miss
Beekman's brother, To make their dis
guise more perfect, they wore SLOUGH
hats and false boards and mustaches.
They then secreted themselves in the
bushes near their residence.
The young men soon passed by chat

rolled into the mud and water by the
roadside. Then he sprang to his feet and
ran home. Cornelius fell upon his knees
and begged piteously for mercy. He was
told to shut up and hand Cver his money
if he knew when he was wise. He imme-
diately produced his watch, rings and
money.
Cornelius and Vanderwater, both bad
~ frightened, held a consultation as to
their proper course III the matter. Later
the young women who had played the
joke walked in, attired themselves il
proper garments, and ~upbraided the
youths for not making the promised
visit. The girls pretended to be much
offended, and the young men made al.
sorts of excuses for their absence. After
having thoroughly enjoyed the excuses
and embarrassment Miss Beekman ant
Miss Dugan asked Cornelius what time
it was. AS his watch was missing he
was obliged to make further excuses
The girls finally handed Cornelius hi
watch and valuables and admonishet
him to act like "A man and not to fall OF
