ABOUT GASTRONOMY.

The degenerate moderns can never
achieve anything in the gastronomic
line to what was done by the ancients.
Ancient history bristles with facts rel
alive to the profusion of Roman Ia
bles and the voracity of Roman eaters.
We read of Lucullu's three hundred
dining rooms. and the Apollo room,
wherein each banquet cost the revenue
of whole province; of six hundred
ostrich heads, each prepared in dill
ferent way for a potluck dinner given
by young "Heliogabalus; Of twenty
two courses counted at a supper of the
same Emperor, who never suffered the
same plate to be used before him,
though it was of massive gold; Of
couriers appointed by Trojan to bring

who. after discovering number OF
new dishes. killed himself because he
could no longer live so we'll on two
hundred thousand dollars a year, to
which his income had been reduced;
Of emperor Antonius, who died from
eating too much cheese of Claudius
Esopus, a Romish actor, who taught
Cicero the art Of defamation and gave
six hundred pounds for bird (which
had learned 10 sing, speak and think,
that he might make a fricassee of it.
Caligula would suffer no wine on his
table that was not one hundred and
sixty years old. When the Emperor
Ohio dined with his brother, seven
thousand sorts of birds and two thou
sand sorts of fishes were served up.
Cleopatra, when supping with Antho-
ny. was so delighted with a bird that
she left nothing but the bones, anG
the Roman General was so gratified
with the cook that he sent for her and
made her present of whole city.
In modern times Louis XIV for
gave the Duke de Soubise the loss Of
the battle of Rossbach in consideration
of an omelette, which the marschael
invented.
The Emperor Claudius called for his
breakfast, not that he was hungry. but
he thought he could pick a bone or
two. Well, a hundred perches with a
hundred becaficos were served. After
eating a few melons by way of pre-
lude, the emperor swallowed every
thing on the table, including thirty
three dozens of oysters, thirty-three
pounds of grapes were eaten by way OF
helping his digestion, and then he was
ready with a clear head and conscience
to attend to public affairs.

OLD MAIDS

Full many flower is born to blush I'M
seen,
Aid waste its sweetness on the desert
air.
If we acquiesce in the sentence of
accommodation which society presses
upon old bachelors, those half-scissor.
members OF the community who per-
sist in pursuing lives of single blessed
ness in spite OF plethora OF marriage
able maidens to select from, l must
protest against the practice of heaping
ridicule upon the class of single ladies.
1t is vulgar, it is unjust, it is unman-
ly. 1t is popular falacy, rife among
men, to attribute the maiden state of
many ladies to the worst motives to
malvolence, to GOODNESS of heart, and
to downright hatred of what l term
with most undemocratic and unchris-
tan pride, the nobler sex.
Many maiden ladies-old maids, If
you please, there ought to be no i'm
piled reproach in the term-are so
from neglect. But neglect does not ar
que demerit. The judgment of man in
matrimonial matters are not so very
invaluable. He is so often caught by
the artificial brilliancy Of a fiirt, by
the audacious challenge of d belle, by
the clink of the almighty dollar, or the
prestige of an aristrocrat's name as by
unobstrusive worth, by simple manner,
by a true heart and modest beauty.
In the very matter of beauty itself the
eye is often deceived. The belle Of a
season is often belle only in name,
and far less lovely than her neglected
sister, who is c0ntented to sit among
the wall flowers, while her sister is
whirling in the waltz.
The smile of contempt may be re-
served more justly for those women
who instead of being respectable and
useful old maids, have married with
out love or any prospect Of happiness
whatever, merely to escape the odium
of a name These spinsters about
whom, in flippant moments, we say
flippant things, are many of them of
the most true hearted and self-denying
of their sex. Their lives have been
heroic poems, full Of musical rythms
and lofty actions, and could we read
their secret history we should find that
in many instances they retained their
single state, not because they had new
err met with woers, but because the
troth they had plighted in youth was
sacred even unto death, or because in
the spirit of Christian martyrs, they
had resolved, for a great purpose, to
make lifeless sacrifice. will frank

Astrology must not be confounded
with fortune telling or clairvoyance-
It does not teach a fixed destiny but
points out what will occur if a per-
son drifts blindly through life. One
may be born with very evil tenden-
cies and may be doing constantly
everything to accelerate them. If
hey knew where their weakness lay,
they could eradicate or avoid it. A
horoscope or written deiineatiOn of
character will make a person acquain-
he'd with themselves. 1t will show the
profession, occupation or vocation best
ADAPTED to their nature. 1t will point
ont very correctly their times of pros
oerity and adversely, showing when
70 push ahead and when TO keep quiet.
IL will accurately describe the person
TO choose as a husband, wife, friend
or partner in business and point out
the class of people TO avoid who would
prove enemies.
Ii will show the diseases or accidents
a person is naturally subject TO and
the times when they are most in dan
ger. 1t will show in what part of the
earth a person will be most prosper
Gus and the most propitiOus times to
begin a new enterprise or an import
Ant undertaking. or when il is best
TO travel or remain at home. 1t will
show whether a person is destined 10
more friends than enemies, and wheth-
er they are liable to recover lost or
stolen articles or to obtain their wish
es. IL will show whether a person is
destined TO marry or have children.
II will show whether a person should
deal in real estate or personal prop
erty. or to deal in vegetable or mineral
substances.
In fact. a horoscope viii not only
point out a persons principal talents,
but IL will show their leading faults.
Il will show every one how to better
their condition. avoid all domestic in
felicity and enjoy the pleasures Of
life.
AstrolOgy investigates and teaches
the great laws Of Universal Nature
and has been accepted by some of the
greatest and most intelligent men and
women that have ever lived. Astro-
lOgy is a natural science, and it is on
ly by the natural development of the
brain that the dangers, the evils and
the distractions of life are avoided.
BY industry and inventions the wants
'of the body are supplied, and by
thought and study the mind is salts
fed
FiJm the beginning Of time to the
present day, there have been persons
continually trying to appease and rem
der favorable some supernatural pow
err. without success. Man should
|cease to expect aid from any super
natural source. He should be salts
ed that the supernatural does not ex-
t. for it has never created prosperity.

~It is an astounding circum-
stance that the corporation taxes in
Jasper are % cents on the hundred
dollars greater than both State and
county taves together, and yet mon
ey has to be borrowed to pay the
interest on the town debt, and no
provision whatever has been made to
provide fund to reduce the debt.

praised at $500 must pay $3.50 cor
