How the Romans Lived.
If anything were wanted to give us an
idea. of Roman magnificence, we would turn
our eyes from public monuments, demoral-
ized games and grand processions; we wogld
forget the statues in brass and marble, which
outnumbered the living inhabitants, so num-
erous that one hundred thousand have been
recovered and still embellish Italy; and
would descend into the lower sphere of ma-
terial life~tbose things which attest luxury
and taste—to ornaments, (It-(sees, sumptuous
living‘nnd rich furniture. The art of using
metal. and cutti‘g precious stones surpassed
anything known at the present day.
In the decoration of houses, in social en-
tertainments, in cookery, the Romans were
remarklble. The mosaics, signet rings,
cameos, bracelets, bronzes, chains, vases,
couches, banqueting tables, lamps, chnripll,
colored glass, gliding, mirrors, mattrenes,
cosmetm perfumes, hair dyes, silk robes,
potter-id, all nut gtcat‘elegance sud beauty.
were unxponsive as the sideboard: of Splu-
isb walnut, so much admired in the grant
exhibithn at. London. Wood and ivory
were curved u exquisitely as in Japan or
Chino. Mirrors were made of polished sil-
ver. Glam cutters could imitate the colon
of precious stonu so well that the Portland
vase, from the tomb of Alexander Severus,
was long considered as a genuine sardonyx;
brass could be hardened so as to cut stone.
The palace of Nero glitter-ed with gold
and jewels. Perfumes and flowers were
showeréd from ivory ceilings. The Halls of
Ileliognbulas were hung with cloth sud gold
and enriched with jewels. His beds were
silver, and his tables of gold. Tiberious
gave a million of sesterces for a picture for
his bedroom. A banquet dish of Daesillus
weighed five hundred pounds of silver. The
Tunics were
mnls. Sandals were garnished with precious
stones. Paulina wore jewels when she paid
visits, valued at $800,000. Drinking cups
were engraved with scenes from the poets.
Libraries were ndornd with busts and press.
es of rare woods. Some were inlaid with
tortoise shell and covered with gorgeous pur-
plt‘.
The Roman grandmas rode in gilded char-
iots. bxthed in marble baths, (lined from
goldeu’plate, drank from crystal cups, slept
on bulb of down, reclined on luxurious
Couches, wore embroidered tubes. and were
adorned with precious stones. They ran-
eacked the earth and the sea: for rare dishes
for their banquets, and ornamented their
houses with carpets from Babylonlonyx cups,
cups (mm Bythlma, marbles from Numidin,
bronzel from Corinth, statues from Athens-
whatever, in short, \vns precious or curious
in the most distant countries. The luxuries
of the bath almost exceed belief, and on the
walls were nugnlnoent frescoes xnd paint-
ings exhibiting inexhnustible productiveness
in lnmlscape and mythological scenes.

Work, by which patty profitable
' Wihfi come‘tu our knowl-
edge, which vu- think worthy of public men-
tion. the names at the. partial being with-
held by request. Not long since there was
employed in one of the large shoe manufac-
tnrics in Lynn. Mass. a young lady whose
duty it was to fasten the tape and soles of
ladies‘ boots together preparatory to lasting.
This is done after the taps and soles ore dink—
ed out, by first pasting and then securing
them by two nails. One day a gentlemnn
was in the m-Inufactory where she was em-
ployed, and observing her celerity of move-
ment, raised 1 question as to how tinny she
could prepare in one day. One of those hav-
ing the management of affairs expressed the
opinion that she could do twenty cases in
ten hours. The gentleman first mentioned
could not credit _I.IlIS, and offered to stake
one thousand dollars against five hundred
that the font could notbo accomplished. The
wager was accepted, the young lady ac-
quainted with the facts and asked if she
could do it. She replied that she was will-
ing to try, provided she should have a
share of the money should she win. This
was agreed to and the task was commenced.
At twelve o‘clock on the next day she had
eleven of the twenty cases finished and
packed ready for the luster, and at ten min-
utes inside the ten hours the task was com-
pleted. The incredulous gentleman paid
the wager of one thousand dollars sad the
winner handed the young lady five hundred
of it. This, together with the sum earned
by doing the work, made pretty fair wnges
for one day, and any one can see by a little
calculation that she had to keep pretty busy.
There were in each case sixty pairs, four
pieces to a poir, making two hundred and
forty pieces of leather to handle, and as
many nails to be driven. In the twenty
cases there would be forty-eight hundred
pieces to take care of in ten hours, which
was done; thus averaging four hundred 3nd
eighty per hour, or eight in one minute. This
is on actual fact, and the smart girl is It pres-
ent doing a snug little business of her own
in the central portion of the city. If this

A Strange Tole.
The following adventure happened in
Bath, England, tnnny years ngo, and the
lady who namted it to the writer, was in
those days, a young girl staying in the house.
It. was in the palmy dove of Beth, when that
now fallen city rivalled London in brilliancy
and in dissipntlonpnnd when all the rich,
the guy, And the highoborn of English con-
gregated there in the seasons, and graced the
bulls and assemblies Mrs. R——, once the
belle of the court of George 111., but at this
period gradually retiring from the general
society, possessed one of the largest of the
old houses, and gave in it entertainments
which were the most popular of the duy.
She was celebrated for three things, (once
for four, but the fourth—her beauty—was of
the days gone by): these things were, her
fascination, her benevolence, and a set of the
most matchleu amethysts. Her house con-
tained tapeattied chambers. The walls of
the one in which she slept were hung around
The tnbles at Wm and Dell-n.“ Hum. W fromgm mythology, ad
the finest piece in the room was that which
hung over bet-dressing tnble. It represented
Phoebus driving the chariot of the sun. The
figures and horses being life size, it filled up
the space between the two windows,and the
horses were concealed behind the old fash-
ioned Venetian looking glass, while Phcnbns
himself, six feet high, looked down by day
and by night on his mistress at her toilet.
One evening Mrs. R—bad an unusually
large party at home. She wore all her ame-
tbysts. On retiring to her room, about four
o'clock in the morning, she took off berjew-
cls, laid them on the table, and dismissed her
weary maid, intending to put them away
herself, but before doing so, knelt down, as
usual, to say her prayers. \‘Vhile engaged
in her devotions, it. was a habit with her to
look upward, and the face of Phat-bus gen-
erally her point of sight, as [it was an object
on which her eyes most easily rested. On
this particular night, as usual, she raised her
eyes to Pbmbus. \Vhat does she see ? Has
he filled those dull silk eyes with vital fire?
Mr is she dreaming ? No. Possessed mit-
urally of wonderful courage and calmness,
she continued to move her lips as if in at
1m praver,and never once withdrew her
gaze, and still the eyes looked down upon
hers. The light of candles shown distinctly
upon living orbs and her good keen sight
enabled her, to see that the tapestry eyes of
Pho‘bus had been cut out, and that,wilh her
door locked, and every servant in bed in'
their distant apartments, and all her jewels
spread out before her, she was not alone in
her room. She concluded her payers with
hm‘ face sunk in her hands. We can well
imngine what those prayers must have been,
She knew there was some one behind the
tapestry; she knew that bells and screams
were equslly useless; and she lay down in
bed and waited the issue, her only omission
being um she did not put. away her jewels.
“ They my save my life," she said to herself,
and she closed her eyes. The clock struck
five before a sound was heard, and then the
moment arrived. She heard a rustle a de-
scent from behind the tnpestry, and 3 man.
stood at her dressing table. He took off his
coat, and one by one secured the jewels be-
neath his waistcoat. What would be his
next. move ? “'ould it be to the bedside or
to the window ? He turned and approached
her bedside; but by that time she had seen
enough and again closed her eyes and re-
signed herself to Providence whose protec-
tion she had been craving.
The man was her own coacbman. Appar-
ently satisfied by a brief glance under his
dnrk lantern that. he had not disturbed her,
he quietly unlocked the door and left her.
For two hours—they must have seemed two
days—~sbe allowed the house to remain on
alarmed, her only movement being to relock
the door which her living thbus had left
ajar. Al seven in the morning she rang the
bell and ordered the carriage round just af-
ter breakfast. All this was according to her
usual habits. On the box was the man who
had cost her a night‘s rest and most probab
1y all her jewels. However, she drove ofl‘;
she went straight to the house of a magis-
(rate. . g
“ Seize my cuaehman !" said she: “ secure
him and search him. I have been robbed,
and I hardly think he has had time to discu-
cumbcr himself of the jewels he has taken
from me." ‘
She was obeyed, and she was right. The
amethysts were still about him, and he gave
himself up without a struggle.

years ago a man named Colburn left his

in an alum-house, but were finally taken in

and daughter soon died and the boy drifted
from place to place, after lexving his chari-
table uncle, who had.become reduwd in cir—

meanwhile, and being finally ordained as a

Lowry’s Fancy Cat.
Jim Stewart, sometimes called “The Con-
modore,“ is the most noted dukey in Erie.
He is a goodmstured, sharp sort of n fellow,
somewhat given to doing business now and
then on the Jeremy Diddle: style, I: the fol-
lowing incident will testify:
Living near the residence of Hon. Mor-
row C. Lowry, he was frequently employed
by the latter to do odd jobs around the house
and in the garden. One day Mn. Lovry
concluded that the pecadillos of a worthless
tom cat, long an_ attache of the family, were
such as demanded the infliction of capital
punishment and Jim was called upon to
play the part of executioner. After a long
chase, the victim was captured and put in n
basket, over which "an old shawl wn secure-
ly fastened. The next move was, how to
dispose of the prisoner. Mrs. L. suggested
drowning, but Jim, with tears in his eyea,
protested that he could nomore drown “that
ere can" than he could “drown hisself!‘ thnt
weighs» do 39, his conscience, acting on n
noun-idly tender hrésrt, would troublehim so
much at night that he was sure he could
never sleep a wink thereafter. Not wishing
to ruin Jim’s pence of mind. Mn]. compro-
mised the matter by giving him a dollar, and
directing him to take the cot sud dispose of
it any way be pleased. so that she should
never see it again. Putting the dollar in his
pocket, and the basket on his arm,Jim start-
ed down town. He had not. got out of sight
of the house,-when he met Morrow walking
leisurely toward his home, and the following
colloquy ensued:
Morrow—-“ Hello. Jim, what have you got
there ?“
Jim—“ One of dc celebrated Rocky moun-
tain oats, salt."
Morrow—A Rocky mountain cat! Why,
Jim, where did you get him, and what are
you going to do with him ?"
Jim—“ I golly, ssh ! Didn‘t you heah ob
do big bunch ob dem cats (lat cum to town
yaterday from Kaliforny, salt! Bes mous-
ers in de wurl. lab. and dis is be biggest and
hes one ob de lot, salt. Dev is gwine to gib
me foal) dollars for him down to de Reed
House, salt ."
Morrow (recollecting the "general cussed-
nm” of the family cat)—-“Jim, we want a
good cat up home, and I guess I'll take this
fellow, but—but—don‘t you think four dol-
lars is steep for a cat ?“
.lim—“ “'hy. all (1: res sold for five dol-
lars, salt."
This decided Morrow, so he paid Jim the
price asked,and told him to carry the “Rocky
mountain cat" up to Mrs. Lowry. Jim,
however, had very important business else-
where, and begged Morrow to take the has-
ket himself, which the latter consented to do.
Arriving at home, he took his prize into the
sitting room, carefully closed the doors,
slightly lifted the basket cover, and smiling
benevolently at Mrs. L's apparent astonixh~
ment, remarked:
“ My dear, I've brought you a Rocky
mountain cat—the best mouser—"
At this moment the cat jumped out of the
basket, and commenced rubbing himself
against his master'slegs. Morrow stopped
short, while his wife broke in impatiently:
“ La, me, Morrow! Why, that‘s the some
old cat I gave Jim Stewart a dollar to drown
not more than ten minutes ago."
What followed we do not know,but a few
minutes later, the Hon. Morrow B. Lowry
might bnve been noticed on the streets of
Erict armed with a walking stick, and won-
dering “ why a'man can never find that nig.
get" when he wnnts to see him badly.“—B(ae-

A Pulses Reunion—Every prison has
its romance, and that of the Penitentiary nt
Kingston. Canada, is worth recounting. In
1842, near Tomato, the serving mm of I
Captain Kinnear murdered b'm master to ob-
tain a sum of money which was in the house.
After killing him the wretch also slew the
housekeeper. He was arrested, and tt his
trial implicated a girl of fifteen, tamed
Grace Marks, who was living in the house,
as an accomplice, alleging that she knew of
the murder of the master before that of the
housekeeper took place. Her story In.
that he threatened her with death if she
gave the alarm ; but as she had been on in-
timate terms with the murderer, it was dis-
credited. He was hanged and 8h! sentencfll
to the penilentiarv for life. Almost thirty
years have elapsed, and the is still a prison-
er, no more a blooming girl, but an old
woman, pale, and, silent, premnturely gray.
From time to time some newspaper correl-
pondent, visiting the institution, hem and
publishes her story. There is talk of a petIo
tion for her release. People any strange 'tia
passing strange, ’tis pitiful, 'tis wondrous
pitiful, and then the matter dies swny. Even
if this woman were guilty, a lifetime of im-
prisonment might be held to have assailed
There would be little else for her to do in
this letter world. Where she 1ived,nnd the
cry of murder went up, are now acre-of
brick and mortar and miles of. dusty streets.
Her kindred are dead, he: crimes an fox-
gotten, and her very existence and history
are unfnmiliar. To such a one a late mercy
m ht be shown.
