The sol- diers had burnished their arms until they shone like polished mirrors from lack of more warlike occupation; and they mingled in social sport or con- versation onversation with the natives, who throng- ed in peaceful fashion to the military market -place, where they exchanged the produce of the chase, or rude articles of home manufacture, for the gold or trinkets of Italy. Nothing, in short, could be more unlike the condition of an invading army; and it appeared as if these gallant legions were to return to their homes upon the banks of the Rhine with the new inscription engra- ves upon their shields—Germania pa- cata. The sun of the newly -commencing spring was descending, the crowds of friendly natives had retired, and the cares of the soldiers were chiefly occu- pied in preparations for supper. Two centurions at this instant were stand- ing a few paces in advance of the prin- cipal outpost, apparently employed on some military duty, and engaged in conversation, One of them was an an- cient warrior, whose countenance, un- der the sun of Parthia and the frosts of Germany had acquired the hue and almost the lustre of bronze while his wrinkled forehead was bald from the constant pressure of the helmet. The other centurion was a mere youth; and as if his armor had been an idle bur - then, as much of it was laid aside as could be dispensed according to the re- gulations of the camp. In other re- spects there was no want of care in the arrangements of his person, for his locks were crisped -according to the latest fashion of the Roman courtiers, and his silken, well -trimmed beard was curled and perfumed; while the orna- ments that dangled gracefully from hie neck and waist announced an ambition for more gentle conquests than those that were to be achieved by the sword. After the two had eyed the setting sun looked carefully along the plain, as if to ascertain that all was tranquil, the younger, striking his vine -rod, whieh he carried as the badge of his rank. upon the ground with a gesture of im- patience, thus broke forth to his com- panion—'By the bright smile of Venus, thisace i intolerable! s in olerable ! Wasit for fK o this that I left the gay suppers of Sem- pronia and the merry rambles to Ti. burtinus? Peer out, peer out, most sage Septimuleius, and tell me if your old experience can descry any promise of warfare ? I would rather die at once under the stones and bludgeons of the Cyclops who inhabit this hideous coun- try than expire by inches, as I am like- ly to do, from very spleen and weari- ness.” "Your wish will be granted, and that speedily, Lucius," replied his more thoughtful fellow -officer, officer 'unless my experience, which has been gathered in many lands, and through a long mili- tary service, is failing me at last. It tells me that this Balm is delusive, and that it will soon burst in tempest or earthquake." "Meherele 1—but from what tokens do you derive this grim augury I" "From the gentle demeanour and friendly protestations of this people, up- on which our army is so conifident. Are such feelings, is such a state con- genial to barbarians? Will the fierce Germans, so renowned for ages, thus succumb without a blow?" "The burly, big -boned, gallant churls! —I hope they will not," cried the youth sportively ; "for I long for the excite- ment of victory, and the fair-haired, blue-eyed spolia apima. Ah, these charming giantesses 1—they are only to be won, .ika their predecessors the Am- azons, by hard blows, and not by blan- dishments." "A truce to such frothy imperti- nence!" exclaimed the senior gruffly: "Does the hour or the subject permit such jesting?" Ls it not better," replied the laugh- ing youth, "than the grave comedy that has been playing these several weeks, in which our general has been acting the lawyer and judge? So favor me Mavortius 1 leis tent looks more like the paltry tribunal of a city praetor than awarlike praetorium. Faugh! how it reminds me of the clown -trodden For- um—its grave legal (decisions about greens, oil, and honey, and its furious brawls and speeches about some half - doyen of sesterces 1" "Thou speakest, Lucius, more wisely than thou art aware," said the other; "and thou hast mentioned another ground of suspicion. The natives, in- deed, throng daily to our tribunal, and submit their contentions to the award of the general ; and Varus, thinking that the arts of peace will be all -suffi- cient, exclaims in a sportive mood, 'Cedunt arma to„ ae !' But he will soon find that the cuirass, and not the gown, is needed here. This gratuitous sub- mission is itself a proof that treachery is at work. Even these contentions, which the people submit to our aebi- tration, are not the genuine quarrels of barbarians. They have wholly the appearance of preconcerted artifice, to lull us into security, and smooth. our march to destruction," "By all the gods you startle me ! Do you think, then, that to -morrow we commence our last march?". "These pathless forests into which we shall Tenter " replied led Se timul %us gloomily, "are the threshold. of Hades, on which no reversed footprint has ever been marked; and we march to the shades under the leading of a Mercury who willure. sac consign us to the g keeping of the ging of Shadows. Oh he is cunning, and eloquent, and beau- tiful, like the god who leads the dead to their destination, when they listen' to his soothing words until they forget thepurpose of their journey !" "Do you speak of the chief favorite of our commander—of the German Are minute ? "Yea, of en rm n the se t o i. i us who has so fascinated tee brain of the pru-r dent Quintilius Varus." "What ! a youth, a mere stripling and a barbarian to boot, although his fine figure turned the heads of half the. ladies of Rome!

Among what ambushes may we be entangled, or in what morass shall we be swallowed up ? Oh for the leading of the wise and heroic Drusus instead of that of Quintilius Varus 1" The young officer was thoughtful for a moment in consequence of these omin- ous surmises, the plausibility of which he was unable to gainsay ; but he was neither of an age nor temper to think long upon such a disagreeable topic. Let the general Iook to it. As for himself, it was enough that he discharged his otvnvance dutiesorretreat. faithfullyB,esidesw,hether to ad - old man, whose services hamdight beennot buthet* churlishly rewarded, be a camp critic and a grumbler ? Such characters, who had the happy tact to disoover that all was wrong, were rife in the Roman army. It was with some satisfaction, therefore, that he found further dia- logue cut short by a deep bellowing from the forest, that to unpractised ears, would have sounded like the roar of savages animals, but which seemed to the officers nothing more than an ex- pected signal. "It !s the German eh rti," exclaimed. the laughing Lo fu from iwheiee mind the wainin s of hit friend had already vanished; 'it'is the sons of the whirl - Wind and the tempest, who have been invited to our general's parting ban- quet; and I almost weep to think how little of our good wine will be left when these gigantic wine -skins have been filled.

The tremendous blast of the horns was answered. weren of d bya rich symphony wind instrumentfrom the camp; and a gu.ard of legionaries, under command of Septimuleius and Lucius, advanced to receive the guests with fitting honor, and conduct them to the praetorium. !And let us enter the praetorium in their company. The evening was de- voted to feasting and hilarity.; and Var- ns, who thought that all resistance was at an end, lavished upon his honored but barbarian visitors the excess of Ital- ian politeness. The wonted prayers were uttered, the libations were poured out, and the company addressed them- selves to the feast with military appe- tites. The viands chiefly consisted of huge boars roasted whole, after the most approved recipes of Roman cookery, and stuffed with smaller game, which were themselves stuffed in turn with little birds and sweet herbs; these were cor- roborated by rich draughts of Greek and Italian ewines; and the commander. gracefully apologising for the rough comforts of a soldier's tent, endeavored to enhance the relish of these dainties by every expression of hospitable cour- tesy and kindness which the Augustan vocabulary could furnish. Varus was a general, according to the testimony of the great annalist of that age, such as Rome was now in the frequent habit of inflicting upon the conquered pro- vinces. Of a noble family, which had been impoverished during the wars of the second triumvirate, he had been taught, in common with many of the Roman nobility, to anticipate office as a never -failing source of aggrandize- ment • and when he was invested with the cen chief command in Syria, be regarded this province as a sort of patrimony, from whioh he might fill his empty cof- fers without scruple. Accordingly, al- though he entered his government poor, he left it a rich ream, and laden with the curses of its pillaged inhabitants. In the mean time, as his military quali- ties had been untried, they remained unquestioned; and when a commander for Germany was required—one who to the tactics of the soldier could add the conciliatory arts of the politician—Quin- tilius Varus was announced as the hap- py individual who possessed this rare combination. It was thought, from the tranquility of his administration in Syria, that he possessed in an eminent degree the talents of a ruler, and that these, still more than warlike measures, would tame the hitherto indomitable Germans. Stroh was the view adopted even by Augustus himself; and to the Rhine, accordingly, the new commander was sent, from whieh he commenced his march into the interior under auspices which have bean already explained. And how, indeed, could he be suspici- ous of latent danger?} The fierce bar- barians hitherto so reckless of the Rom- an terrors had submitted their quar- rels to his decision, as if he had 'been a second Numa or Tresmegistus; and the more remote tribes, who had invited his approach, were ready to hail it as the pledge of ' peace and civilization. Besides, had he not in his right hand the young and gallant Arminius—one whom his countrymen already vener- ated like a divinity, and through whom, therefore, he could wield. at will the feelings and purposes of Germany? These thoughts made his jocund as his eye glanced complacently, at one time over his officers who reclined in the order of their rank, and at another over. the German chieftains who. feasted at the board. Even the rude simplicity of the latter gave a zest to the entertain- ment, it excited. , for ed mi:rth observe tov the wonderment with which they regarded the native productions of their own for- ests, so marvellously haeightenedor dis- guised by the skill of the Roman cook; and a o bve11 a to witness o the . rsk-like h r firmness of brain' with which they re- peatedly drained the wine -cup. But even rooks may be overthrown by a sua- sion of billows; and as these hirsute re- vellers warmed into jollity, their eyes twinkled, their huge moustaches curled upward, they repeatedly stretched their brawny arms across the tables to grasp the right hands of the centurions, and broke, forth into vociferous praises of Augustus, his wise government, his brave legion and his good wines; and finai•y th'=y sung/ such tremendous the Po'1+Ulation of Btirnne.Ytip I�niirlCt''• o� one-half, and the wee4tly ` define its averaged 200 PC ,maintain mega- snatches of their native songs as made the images cif the Lares tremble upon the board. And amidst the din, the laughter, and rough military jesting, none was .so happy as Varus himself, who, from his central position at the banquet, encouraged raged the flow of wane among ecohe barbarians, and smiled upon their boisterous :glee. Could insincerity lodge in the hearts of su,oh men? No; it was impossible., And as be gave him- self wholly up to the enjoyment of the hour, he addressed himself from time to time to the chiefs with sentences of their own language, which he had con- ned for the occasion, while the applause which they roared in return evinced that his conciliatory policy was not in vain. But there was one of the German guests to whom wine had no tempta- tion, and in whose eyes the hilarity of the revel had no charm. This was Seg - est, the chief of the warlike Gatti, and father of Tliusmelda. The arrival of Hermann in his native country, and his subsequent encounter with Ruciiger,had disconcerted all the old man's plans of a family alliance with the latter; and he learned accordingly, to hate and watch the person by whom his views had been traversed. He had therefore tracked the movements of the young hero, until he had in some measure de- tented the nature of that plot which was conducted with such secrecy and success. Elated with his discoveries, he resolved to divulge all he• had learned; and by 'thus doing, he hoped to deter his country from a disastrous rebellion and hopeless war, and at the same time to crush an enemy whom he hated. Un- der these motives he had passed the untested goblet with a self-denial that was alarming in a German; and when he now saw the condition of his coun- trymen, he judged that the lit mom - one had arrived. Turning, therefore, to Varus, the old chief exclaimed, with a smile of suspicious meaning, "Why miss we at the hospitable board the man' of two tongues and double aspect—the first of Roman allies, and the best beloved of his countrymenSa Where tarries the Arminzus of Rome, the Hermann of Ger- many, when so many friends 01 either party are assembled?" We commence our march to -mor- row," replied Varus, "under the faith- ful guidance of Ani n.nius; and to -night he explores the passes, to ascertain that our route shall be in safety." "I have been so long the friend of Rome," rejoined the old chief drily, "that I have learned some portion of its history. Crassus, they tell me, marched into Parthia, and perished with all his army. What was the name of that cunning Parthaan who became his guide, and led him to the field of Carrhae?" "You dare not insinuate that Arm- inius is a traitor!" cried the general, starting up angrily. "That the result alone can show," re- plied the other; "if he led the Roman armv to destruction, what German would dare to call it treason?" (To Be Continued.) DEATH WAS WELCOME. Lost Husband. 1 t Money nu Children Ldrru nred Died alone in an Attie itomn. There was a time when Mrs. Helen Toomey, of New York, was looked upon as a rich woman, She had a fine home, servants and many charities. Her hus- band was a fashionable tailor, employ- ing thirty-five men. There were two children in the home. That was twenty-five years ago. 11Irs. Toomey died on Saturday, after a quar- ter of a century of sorrow. She died in poverty, having lived long enough to bury every member of her family. The husband was the first to die. When the estate was settled it was found that little money had been saved for the family. Mrs. Toomey used it carefully, taking her children to a more modest home. Misfortune follow- ed her. The children were ill a great part of the time. Her slender resources were almost exhausted. Then, one af- ter another, the children died, and she was left all alone with nothing to live for and nothing to live upon. But the sweet-faoed woman struggled bravely against the odds. She fell ill and spent many months in a hospital. When she Ieft it, seven months ago, she rented an attic room. It was a shabby, scantily furnished room, but Mrs. Too- mey made it her home. She prepared her own meals there, conducting that light housekeeping whirl is said to be synonymous with slow starvation. She had one friend who called on her, John Mallon, a truckman. Mallon was her cousin. a serious man with long whiskers and an air of dignity. For many years, Mrs. Toomey was Mallon's best friend. Two months ago he found her in such straits that she needed the little aid he could give her. "She would not live with me," he said, "She was always the lady, the grand lady. She did not like the neighborhood, and our way of living was not her way." He said this very simply, as if • it were a matter of course, and he shed tears, too, as he added that Mrs. Too- mey was the best friend be had iver had. He knew then that Mrs. Tothiey was dead. Mallon had gone to Mrs. Toomey's room on Saturday morning. There was no response to his knock. A boarder told him he had heard groans coining from the room. Mallon was fearful. He told the landlady and a policeman was summon- ed. He broke in the door: There was. a smile on the sweet, careworn face, Mrs. Toomey looked as if death had been very welcome. THE WRONG TRAIN.

If one has not ample space and can not give plants the right condition in which to live it is best to carry only a few over the winter. If one sunny window can be kept exclusively for plants it is best. Before winter sets in ever. crack and crevice should be sealed or filled up with awns kind of material. Strips of dark paper pasted over all cracks will keep out much of the cold, or paper or cloth stuffed tight- ly into 'the cracks will also answer the same purpose. On severely cold nights it is safest to lift all the plants out of the window to some table or stand in rho center of the room, Covering the plants 'with newspapers will also protect them, and if papers are put up against the win- dow panes much of the cold will be ex- cluded. If the plants sfiould freeze they should be taken immediately into a cool room and sprinkled with cold water. By no means should they come near heat or fire until they have re- vived. Some people recommend to sim- ply carry the plants into acool room and allow nature to do the rest. It is a task to keep winter plants free from insects. and one of the best remedies is tobacco. Take a small pack- age of strong tobacco and pour over it boiling water. When cool the plants should be set into the mixture and washed, leaves and all, besides being thoroughly soaked with it. Another remedy is astrong soapsuds made of carbolic soap end water. Plants must be kept Olean, if they are to be healthy. The leaves should lee washed occasion- ally in order that the dust may be re- moved. The leaves are the lungs of plants, and of course they cannot per- form their work correctly if the pores are obstructed by dust. In order to have nice plants one must give them much attention. Decayed blossoms and leaves should be removed. and they ought to have plenty of sun- shine and moisture to thrive. A few flowering plants in the winter domucb toward the coziness and comfort of an apartment, and lend such an air of "homeiness" and warmth that one can- not help loving them. AT THE MEALS. Not long since a young man, being invited out at 6 o'clock in the evening, remarked: "I cannot come then, for .l would miss my dinner, and I should not like to do that, for meal times are the jolliest of all in our house." And he was right. He sits down to a very carefully appointed table, with immacu- late lines, neat dishes, a nd best of all, a. row of smiling faces. His moth- er and sisters make it a paint to al- ways dress for dinner, but not elab- orately by any means, for they cannot afford that. There is always plenty of light, a pretty dish of fruit in sea- son somewhere on the table, and flow- ers when they can be procured—in sum- mer from their little garden at the back of the house. In the morning the sun steals inI through the white -drapes windows tweed 'a pretty picture of comfort and hejsein.l ness, and the evening lamp shed:. who warm light on the same. These ptsive suf- have made it a point to never be ells state at the table.

The temperature at the bottom of the ocean is nearly down to freezing point, and sometimes actually below it. There is a total absence of light, as far as sunlight is concerned, and there is an enormous pressure, reckoned at about one ton to the square i.ffoh in every 1.000 fathoms, which is 160 times great- er than that at of the atmosphere we live in. At 2,500 fathoms the pressure is thirty times more powerful than the steam pressure of a locomotive when drawiang a train. As late as 1880•a lead- ing zoologist explained the existence of deep-sea animals at such depths by as- suming that their bodies were com- pose of solids and liquids of great den- sity, and contained no air. This, how- ever, is not the case with deep-sea fish. which are provided with air -inflated swimming 'bladders. If one of .hese fish in full chase after its prey, happens to ascend beyond a certain level, its blad- der becomes distended with the decrease. ed pressure, and carries it, in spite of all its efforts,.still higher in its course. In fact, members of this unfortunate plass are liable to become victims to the unusual accident of falling upward, and no doubt meet with a violent death soon after leaving their accustomed level, and long before their bodies reach the surface in a distorted and unnatural state.
