Anifriran Antiyuilit'S.—From uiiaiisweralilt!
^ facts and statistics it is evident (says a writer in
the Cleaveland PlainJealer) that the great valley s
of the Ohio and Missis-sippi were once the ahojc
of a mijfhty nation—civilized and reliiied, warlike
and brave—descendants ol‘ those luiijht}' nation.'!
to whom 1 have alhided, and who settled in thi.--
i country long before the appearance of the .Saviour
' on the earth.
i Near Lexingt«)n, Kentucky, are the remains of
' an ancient catacomb forinrd in a solid rock id'
I limestone. This curiosity was discovered in the
j year ITT^i by the early .®ettlcrs of that country.
The mouth of the cavern was tarelully concealird
’ with stones, which, on being removed, opened in-
i to a cave of immense magnitude. The side.s of’
' this spacious apartment were found, ujion exani-
I ination, to be cut into niches or compartment.s,
I occupied by figures represtnting men. T5y fur
ther investigation these figures were discovered
I to be mummies—•persons preserved by the art of
embalming—and exhibited a state of perfection
j equai to that known at any time :imong the Kgy}»-
I tians; and you will bear in mind th;it this art was
I practised by that people three thousand four hun
dred and seventy-five years previous to this discuv
j ery in Kentucky. The catacomb was capable of
I holding two thousand subjects.
Again there is found on the Ohio, near twenty
miles below Wabash river, another roniarkablc
work of antiquity. It is a very large cave, with
smooth perpendicular walls and a level flout
The walls are covered with hieroglyphic figures
cut in solid stone, and are well executed. Among
them are representations of animals unknown to
the prescTit generation. This cave is one of the
greatest curiosities on the (Jliio, and is connect(*d
with a dark dismal cavern, nearly the same size,
which is located directly above it, and which is
accessible through a chimney-like aperture.
VV^hen we view the ancient mounds and tumuli
of the West we are lost in wonder, in view of the
number, magnitude, and obscurity of their origin.
There are several hundreds of these works in the
valley of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and
some of them are found to be filled with human
skeletons, indicating that they weri, a place of lie-
posite of the dead; they also bear the appearance
of having been contiguous to some large and ])0]»
ulous city. Many strange and curious ai:tii|ni-
ties have been from time to time exhumed froni
these mounds; and is it not significant that, in a
great majority of instances, there exists a remark
able resemblance between these relics found in
the nineteenth century and artieles v.hich were
known to have been used against the Koman>;
(jrrecians, and Egyptians before the days of Christ!'
Hour Mdlon Sjjtnf the Uay.—At his Uieai.s he
never took much wine or any otlier fermented 1;
quor. Although not fastidious in his tood, y>,-t
his taste seems to have been delicate anu refined
like his other senses, and he had a pre:'erence'f’t-r
such viands as were of an agreeable fiivor In
his early years he used to sit up late at. !ks «‘u-
dies, and perhaps he continued tliis {'ractico
while his sight was good; but in his latter year?
he retired every night at nine o’clock, aixi .;iy
till four in summer and five in winter, and if i: it
disposed then to rise, he had some one to sit at
Li-; bedside and read to him. When he rose he
had a chapter of the Hebrew Bible read for him,
and then, with of course the intervention oi'
breakfast, studied till twelve. He then dined,
took some exercise for an hour, generally in a
chair in which he used to swing himself, and af
terwards played on the organ or bass-viol, and
either sang him.self or made his wife sing, who,
as he said, had a good voice but no ear. fie
then resumed his studies till six, from whicl:
hour until eight fie conversed with those who
came to visit him. He finally took a light sup
per, smoked a pipe of tobacco, and drank a gl is>
of water, after he retired to rest. J>ike many
other poets, Milton found the stillness, «F!irmth,
and recumbency of bed favorable to coinpo.«ition;
and his wife said, before rising of a morning he
often dictated to her twenty or thirty verses. A
favorite position of his when dictating his verses,
we are told, was that of sitting with one of his
legs over an arm of hjs chair. His wife related
that he used to comjwse chiefly in the winter.
Tua.^t aud U’atrr.—Pope, on one occasion, ex
perienced a very ludicrous disappointment at Mr.
Shee’s table, in Cavendish square. The port and
claret were making their accustomed rounds du
ring the dessert—probably at an exemplary pace.
Mr. Shee, although little sliort of a teetoialer hini-
seif, retained somethin^ of the Hibernian prejudice
in favor of a brisk circulation of the bottle after the
departure of the ladies. So far all was well; but at
each successive circuit of the ambulatory “coast
ers” Pope's observant eye detected the suspicions
fact that his host, though prompt to expeaite their
rotary progress, never had recourse to their con
tents, but occasionally, and, as it seemed, rather
.'urreptitiously, helped himself from a suiali, I’u-
obtrusive decanter that reuiained stationary at
his right hand, and through the clear cry.-tal of
which shone a bright amber-colored liquid, sug
gestive of the purest Amontillado vintage. Eager
to defeat and expo.se so inhospitable a monopoly.
Pope suddenly apo.«trophized his host in loud
and jeering tone.'^, ‘‘Come, come, lu}- good friend,
I perceive that you are nursing something good
there for your own private driiiktii'r. Tliat de-
cantcT has never left your side. Hut it won’t do!
I’il trouble you for a ghi.ss.” ‘*OhI willingly,”
answered his Amphitryon, in aj>pan nt confu.sion
“1 was just about to ask your opinion of it.”
And, suiting the action to the word, he poured
out a bumper into the glass which Pope's eager
hand extended for the purpose. The ta'iumpliaiit
connoisseur raised the sparkling goblet to the
light, ami then drained the contents at a single
draaght. But no sooner had he done so than a
loud exolauiation of horror and dismay burst from
his lips, while his face wore an exprcs.'»jon of the
deepest disgust. “By Jove!” exclaimed he. sput
tering in his finger-glas.s, “it’s—it's—nothing bnt
“Toast and water,'’ quietly observed .Mr.

But I’m afraid it’s not much in your line.” A
general burst of laughter from tiie rest of the
company completed the mortification of the di.s-
comfited f/ourment.—Life of Sir M. A. Shee.
To teat \Miiskey.—Whi.skcy is now fe.stod by
the distances a tiian can walk utter tasting it. If
a man can walk three squares afttr^vards without
falling, then it is a pretty good article. The new
li(|Uor called ‘*Tangle-leg’ is said to be made of
diluted alcohol, nitric acid, boot le^. tobacco, and
flavored with strychniric to suit t*K' t;iste. ami
