To handle a hot per without burning the fingers, required eh dexterity as the juggler displays in 5g with heated pokers.

After each dish they pre- themsclres for hte next coarse by dipp- ; their fingers into ewers of water, carried and by servants, prying them on napkin ch guest bringing his own napkin with him. Wealthy persons are said to have used a tly kind ofasbestes napkin, which, when 1, they threw into the fire cleansed it rithout consuming it Refined epicures nmetimes wiped their hauds on the long hair ’ the sup-bearers, a custom that is very Fvommou in the Orient, and recalls the office p rformed by Magdalen to the feet of Jesus. The Romans began the day with an early breakfast of bread, seasoned with aalt and eaten with olives, dried grapes or cheese. At noon they took a warm lunch of eggs fish etc., together with their favorite beverage, railed calda, a sort of punch composed of water ;.nd wine, season;.! with spices and sweetened with honey. This drink was to t hr Romans what tea and coffee is to us. The ..lie in the mixture being considerably dilub od. possessed only very mildly intc^icating qualities, so that it oould be used quite freely without unpleasant effects; and Cowper's description of a tea party, where. ■The bubbling add loud hissing urn Throw up a steaui column, andthecupa That chccr but not inebriate wait on each," wo ild correspond very well to a oalda-party of llomau ladies inintcen centuries ago. Several ealda-urna of Lronte have been found at Pompeii. The principal meal (culled ctma) was eaten about 4 o’clock, and lasted several hours. People, like the elder Pliny, who dioed only three hours, were considered remarkably frugal and time-saving. In Pompeii there are numerous paintings of feasts, which give considerable information as to the bill of fare In the centre of the table; for example, is a large dish containing four peacocks, so arranged as to form a state ly d me with their Utils; here and there are lobsters,, each ho)drxg.f«<nctVl;g in its claws; .in.' lias a blue egg, another an oyster, a third a stuff'd rat, a fourth has a little basket of gra^s-hoppers, or some similar appetizing de! racy.

She soon became very confidential anda conversation sprang up between them, during which the delighted Malford wasintormed that she had buried her husband only the week before; that she wax on her way to Philadelphia, and that her uncle would join her in spring-field. She zoomed anxious not to mis* the latter station, and leaned over Mulford several time* out of the of the window Whan Springfield wax reached at last, she pointed out and old gentleman, who, she xaid, was the expected uncle, xnd asked the young man to hold her babe while she helped him on the train.

He was delighted and surprised, and after his own recovery, which soon occurred, determined, if possible, to procure the sole right to manufacture and sell it in the United States. The result el his labors was a glorious success for himself and suffering humanity, for the celebrated PLAUTATIOl* EITTEBS was thus made known to the world. PLAN TATION BirrSHS being an article of real merit, founded upon new principle*, and relying wholly upon the vegetable world for its medicinal effects, worked a rapid revolu tion in the history of medicine, and became as a household word all over the dvilixed world. The cabalistic S. T.—1860—X. was a talisman of health, and the demand for the PLANTATION BITTEES soon far exceeded the abilities of the preprietoreto supply. Notwithstanding the large importation of St. Croix Bum, made expressly for the oom- pounding of these Bitters, tho quantity was inadequate. It therefore became necessary that arrangements upon an extensive scale abroad should at once be mads, and an agent was dispatched to St. Thomas for that pcrnccc. He was fortunate in securing and leasing several plantations on some of the largest and most productive estate* oa the island. Houses, stills and presses were erected as if by magic, which utterly “ aston ished the natives.” The services of experienced men and natives of the island were pro cured, aad very soon the proprietors of tho PLANTATION BITTEBS were in a position to supply their laboratory with all the perfectly pure St. Croix hum needed is manufac turing the GB2A7 DYSPEPTIC TONIC AND INVIOOBATOS. The above cut repweente the natives crushing the sugar-cane and otherwise preparing it for the itflir and preaiea. As an antidote to Pevcr and Ague, Intermittent and Hilarious Fevers, Dyspepsia, and other kindred diseases, the use of the PLANTATION BITTEBS is unsurpassed in the history of the world. Over five millicn bottles are disposed of annually. They are adapted to old and young, mi'e and female. They are agreeable in taste, and always traduce an immediate beneficial result. ch 3, 18G9.
