I most confess that ttiy knowledge of the Catacombs around Borne was very limited.. I-1 never liked caverns of uny kind, much less those that have been converted into btt rial places. We had not crone far in the disma chambers oi the Catacombs, until al traces of the entrance was lost sight of, ' We now began to wander hither and thither: .the flickering lights from the tapers made things look even more ghastly than ever. We jrero, in the meantime, bicathing the heavy dead airy with unmlstakeable evidences that ail the Christians jhterrodbere were not fedicea4oier . 'OmK,yn r - jl n earroanorca on every side by martyrs graves. These dark damp recesses consist of a serie3 of irregu lar windings, generally ; arranged in three stories. f As ! we were Ted up and down these narrow winding streets through the dead, over pools of water that are never dried by the rays of the sun. we could not tell whether we were ten twenty or thirty feet under 1 " 11. a ground ; occasionally we passed en larged chambers which serve as chap els. On enquiring the extent of the catacombs, we were told they were some thirty miles in length, and formed a chain of labyrinths sixty miles in circumference. As wo did not care to go this long journey or to remain in this humid atmosphere, I requested the guide to take us out at the near est opening jwe wanted to see day- ngni aua ureaioe a ainerent air. . we wandered an hour or more in these dis mal damp galleries. The niches on each side of us were filled with the mouldering dust of the martyrs : we also saw several I marble cofJAns, in which were deposited the remains of the deceased, having tho appearanco or embalmed majmciies. . : In these subterraneous passages the Christians in the first and second cen turies sought refuge from their cruel oppressors. They were hunted down like wild beasts and tortured, stran gled and burnt. The poor creatures were not safe even in these dark, dis mal places of refuge. When discov ered they were walled in by their' sav age persecutors, and thns perished by slow starvation.. The martvrdom of the Christians became so frequent that even tue nttie cniiurcn ran screaming to tho 'persecutors "We are Chris tians, we are (jiiriatianw r in at w too. might be i-wurderod- with tlifa,li....ii.. Is it not strange that those samoyneple-who. were rcadv to iror: death lr their re ligion allerwarus Jbecame as cruel in their tortnres as were the hea then pagans? Batman in the gen -crate or regenerate state is the most incomprehensible of all created beings. One, three, or six thousand years seems not to have changed bis nature; he possesses the same spirit of selfish ness and vindictivenesa now that he did before the flood. We look at the nations of the earth and note their rise and fall. Each nation has on the world's great theatre a part to play, and when that is accomplished, like the silk worm it winds itself op in its own tomb and perishes. What do we see left of the great empire and popu lous cities that we read of from the book of Genesis to Revelations? They are marked by decay and ruin, and all attempts to establish them have failed. Butthe bright 6tar of Bethle hem did not perisliwith those empires. It is as brilliant thisjflay, as when seen by the wise men ofHhe, East. Its course however is; westward, and its rays are just penctratingur hemis phere.

As 1 6aid. they were originally the hidden places of Christians, in consequence of a Roman law whicft lorbid even the nshes of the dead to be interred in the city, the quarries became not only cemeteries, but places for worship, where martyrs went boldly to 1 the stake for thetr christian faith. These immense subtorraneons passages Wcro made by the manufacturers of cement. They discovered in the environs of Rome substance called Puszolana, which When mingled with lime, made the celebrated Roman Cement. The Christians, nnlike the Pagans, were op posed to burning ,he dead. The quar ries afforded a convenient and cheap place lor interment, j In tho fourth century the triumphs of Christianity over Paganism , under Constantino, put an end to the reli gious persecutions, and peace was" re stored to the Church and protection to the cemeteries, j The catacombs ex tend around the city in a wide circle. For many ages they were inaccessible as they have not been used for burial places in fifteen centuries; the one we visited to-day was only opened pome thirty years ago.. Although these cemeteries are of the highest interest to us oma.ccount of their associations with Christianity in its sufferings and tn its infancy, yet1 1 do not regard them as suitable places to explore T es pecially during the iSiim mer months We were glad once more to see day light and to escape from the melan choly tombs, - We now proceed over a narrow, dusty roatij enclosed by high walls, in an atmosphere such as we en.
