But per haps the habit they have of whitewashing their houses on tho return of all their festival, 13 the best preventive of disease, Garibaldi proposed to turn the channel of the Tiber by means of weirs, so that when the . snows melted on the Appenino and ' Alban raou n t a i ns : lib i in co n ve n i en ce w ou id be felt from the flood in the city. This magnificent Fcheme was never carried out, owing to the. poverty of the Italiaii exchequer. It has been conjectured that if the course of the river, as it passes through Rome, could be dried up for one year, tho spoils that wqulff be found buried deep beneath its alluvial soil, would amply pay the cost of the undertaking. But no capitalist could be found to advance " money upon such a contingency. . the Ghetto, arc yet to bo seen the remains of the portico of 0ctavia. They are situated in the very centre of "the settlement. In this magnificent abode, with its courts and corridors; Titus was received and feasted, after h"i3 return from the conquest of Judea, and destruction of Jerusalem. lie went first to pay his vows to Capitolino Juve, leaving poor Simon, the last of the Pharisee patriots.at the foot of the hillfrom whence he was taken to the dark , and fetid dungeons of therMamertino prison, and thcre,according to the tigerish brutality of Rome, be was put to death, while Titus wa3 being riotously entertained in the halls of Octavia.

CHRISTIANS?, A II E 8 A LOON- - K E ET K liS AND a strange one This question may seem-ratheand in the negative a broad assertion to make, but from my standpoint and reasoning 1 believe I can prove, invariably, nay. I might say without one exception saloon keepers and drunkards are not good Christians. Now if I were to ask either of these individuals, "Arc you a good Chmtian?l.wouhL not their answer be," Yes, I believe I am?' And should I say to them, "Do you believe in doing unto others as you would that they should do to you, as taught by Christ; He whom all go&'d Christians certainly believe in, who set such good and noble examples that all might pattern after Him if they would?""- "Oh yes," they will say, "this doctrine will apply very welt to religious people, but hardly to us." iiWe have a2 living to make, we need money, r riehand-if-jtheytb- er "sloW'lcpcr?

I say shame on those persons who s: 'wilfully rob men of their meau3 and their manhood, and pander to their vile tastes, who deprive wives of their husband's support, and children of their father's care,and make outcasts of those who arc near and dear to U3. Thi3 is the work with a thousand more evils of attachedjwhich are too odious to mention. And what shall I gay of the -- drunkard?- A most despicable creature indeed, with all his reasoning faculties lower than the brutes iu the field. A man whom God created in the beginning to be a protector over women, to love, honorrand cherish her. A being whom saloon-keeper- s, God made in His own image, with a mind capable of becoming the must intelligent of all His creatures. One who should set a good example the head of his family- being kind, living, perhaps blamed by people for taking' such a course, whilc tho husband and father goes on in his downward lourse,neither know- ing nor caring what becomes of them the dear ones whom ho had vowed to love and cherish. I have seen these things and it has caused my heart to ache for the misery and unhappi-nes- s it has brought. This may seem strong language to use, and perhaps there are exceptions to every rule,butcan we consistently say that saloon:keepcrs and drunkards aro good Christians? SIX BRIGHT WOMEN.
