Eighteen Hundred Years After Death. ? ? A'Corrcspopdont of Applelon's Jour /"///writing of excavations at Pompeii, says } "Anibug the most interesting of the objects it,und recently arc two skele tons,: one of a somewhat elderly man, the 'other of a woman. They were 'bund in the Via Stabia among the ashesi of the last eruption, evidently overtaken iu ibis (light and Iniriod in tho cinders. According to the usual methpd employed to preserve the ex ternal appearance of objects, liquid plaster was poured into the cavity, whiclvserving as a mou'd, a face-smile of she forms was obtained; and thus perfectly ? preservrd, the statue-like bpdiu^yele placed in glass cases.in ? ?'fiii^A^ihpeVi*Tnnseutn. \Vhile appre ciating nil the horror of such a death and the suffering endured, as shown* by the position, 1 cannot but imagine what would vnvc been the astonish ment of that man or woman had some prophet infoimed them that eighteen hundred years alter I heir death their forms, and even as much of their gar ments as were not. consumed in the eruption, would be placed in a museum for inspection by a multitude of sight-seers, some from lands, the exist nee of which they had never dreamed of. ' The poor woman is lying on her face, anil even the form of her hair, put up behind, is seen. One arm shields her forehead, and she. is sup ported by the other. Her stony limbs uro well formed, and traces of a gar ment arc seen passing in folds around her. The man, although placed on his hack in the exhibition, when found was tu lied oh his side. One arm rests ou bis hip; the other is up lifted; The lac*1 i? somewhat distor ted, bat massive and smoothly shaven. Even the form of the fasten ings of the .sandals around the ankle, and of the long button higher up on the leg to hold them, is clearly seen. Tbc limbs are parti)' drawn up. The skeleton of a tolerably 'arge dog, also reeonth found, is in the Museum of Voihpeii bis who'c form preserved in plastoi, in the sumo manner as lho.40 just mentioned. He is lying on bis hack, writhing in suffering, bitin? his his leg. Tl c rings and collar are plainly seen." Bijti nit's Wit.?In one of his first law-cases, the General said, in I.is usual way, v.lien the case was called : "Let notice he givon " "What paper? asked the vener able clerk. "In the Lowell .1/. '> (" said Butler, selecting; a local paper de tected by the party to which the clerk and tho judge belonged. There \vas a pause. "Tho Lowell A'frrrttWr !" said the clerk, restraining his feelings. "I don't know such a paper.1' "Pray, Mr. dork," Vtd Butler, "don't begin felling the court what you know, or there will be no lime for anything else." The people of Wyoming don't know whether to call their female judge a justice?? of the peace or a jus tice of the peace;s. That can easily decided after it is seen whether she 1 ? 1 makers p( acc or pit e< ?.. A Sweet Joke.?The following neat stroke of business deserves men tion, onl'nccount of the grand simpli city of the means set in action. The scene is in a drugg'st's shopnt Fog^ia, in the Neapohtan~province of Cupi tanata; time, night, the druggist hav ing just lighted u handsome silver lump, the admiration and envy of the neighborhood. A mau enters, li dd ing his hat in his bund. "Mr. Druggist, will you please to give me n hatful of syrup ol tamar inds?" says the Btrnujer. "A hatful of syrup ! what do you mean?" cries the druggist, opening his eyes very wide. "Do not mortify me by a refusal. It is a bet with a friend; so just fill up my hut, and lell me what is to pay/' The druggist was a merry fellow; the conceit pleased him; and so hi: brought a big-bellied flask; full up to the neck with syrup, which was duly transferred to the customer's wide awake." "There,'! said the druggist. Scarcely were the words put of his muiiih, whey the wide-awake was on I his head, in a twinkling the lamp was ! blown out an I carried away, whi e the poor druggist, helpless ami im movable, stood, like the image of spine liver god; with the clammy ooze trickling from him on every side. ? m ? 11 ii . - . caca? - A Timely Extkact fkom G inno.v. ?The following, from Gibbon's ''De cline and Kail," is worth reading no.v. ''The policy of the emperors ami the senate, as far as it concerned religion, was happily seconded by the reflection of the enlightened^ and by the i habits of' the-stYpcrstitiOu-?: The various modes of worship, which pre vailed in tin- Roman world, were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equal ly useful. And thus toleration pro duced not only mutual indulgence, but even religious concord." A young man asked his sweetheart if he might be permitted to kiss he:, and give her an affectiounte hug. "No," said she, "I can't allow that; but I'll tell you what I will do; I'll split the difference with you?you may kiss me, and I'll hug you." Does it hurt a joke to crack it.
