BY JOHN o. SAXE;'
"A "maa is, in general, better pleased
when he has a goon dinner upon his table,
than when his w?te speaks "Greek."
I Sar ru Johnson.
Johnson aras right?1'' I dont.agree to all
The solemn dogmas of ?ie roug?T old1
stager; 8 jfc * .
But very much approve what oneway call
The minor morals of the "Ursa Major."
Johnson waa righi. Although sumo" men
adore " 4>
Wisdom jin woman, and with learning
crom her,
There isn't one in ten but thinks far moroV
Of his owuM?rub than of his Bpouse'ig
grammar*; ? , a ?|
I know it ie the greatest shame in lifbj
But who among tbem, (save,' perhaps:
myself,)
Returning hungry home, but asks his wife
What beef-not books-she has upon the
*hclf? -
Though Greek '"and Latin bc tlujpidy's
boast, *jt ~
Thev're little valued hy her Joving mate;
The kind of' tongues that husbands relish
most
Is modem, boiled, and served upon :i.
? x>late.
Or if, .as fond ambition may command,
Some home-made verso the happy ma
tronkshowhim.
What mortal spouse h:it from her dainty
band
Would sooner see a pudding than r. p?'em?
Young .lady-deep in love with Tom or
Harry- '
"Tis std to tell you such a talc as this;
But here'? the nf?ral of it: Don't yo marry;
Or,,marrying, take your lover as ho is
A very man-with something of the brute,
(Unless ho prove a sentimental neddy,)
With passions strong, and appetite to boot;
A thirsty soul within a.hungry body!
A very anon-not one of nature's cloud's
With hnman failings, whether saint or
sinner;
Endowed, perhaps, with genius from the
gods,
But apt-.to take his temper from his din?
ner.
Nau?l ai< Vamc-Giifriij
A Philadelphia contemporary has
an interesting article on this subject,
which is called forth l?y the recent
baptism of the Prince of Wales' second
son :
. Instead of having the regulated
number of sponsors, the little Prince
had seven, viz: . The Queen of Den?
mark, the King of Hanover, the
Princess Louise of Hesse, the Duchess
of Cambridge, the Duke of Saxe Co?
burg and Goths, the Duke of Cam?;
" bridge and the Prince of Leini^en,
Of these seven, only the two last>vere
present. ' The others were represent?
ed by proxy-Queen Victoria standing
up for the Queen of Denmark, the
infant's other" grand-mother. It is
not stated, in the elaborate descrip- I
tion of this ceremonial, whether there J
was anything particular ns to the j
water used in the baptism. When the
Prince of Wales was christened, the
King of Prussia was his god-father,
iuid the water used was brought from
the river Jordan {or that specific pur*
pose, and was not, as might .have
been expected' from the King'r pre?
diction, a liquid supplied .by tho
Widow Cliquot. The newly-made
Christian, according to the English
custom, was let lightly off with only
' four names-George-Frederick-Er?
nest-Albert. lu Austria, the usual
average of royal names is four; in j
Prussia, it is three; in Russia, it im
two; in Belgium, there arc eighteen j
names among "three royal children.
In Brazil, Portugal and Spain, each
royal Christian's given names are
so numerous that it must be quite
an effort of memory to remember !
them. The Emperor Pedro, of Brazil, J
has fifteen names, his eldest daugh- j
ter eight, and her sister the tama
number. In Spain, five royal chil- <
dren have forty-four names among 1
them. Napoleon LTI and his wife j
have three names each, and the
Prince Imperial bas five; but other;}
of the Bonaparte*' family have many
mo'e. The Orleans children avo- j
.raged i..^. each, and the Bourbons I
four. The Queen of Hanover has '
+WA1VA* "Vif?fr>r EfflaaSinfi'! sr.v^r. . l-dsi '
- .. - . - 7- - - - .. - ?.... ..VA DU ? ell , . Ill ry
eldest son eight; and his sister-in-law
twelve. The deposed Duchess of Mo
dena also sports a round dozen. The
Prince of Orange, about *to marry
Queen Victoria's daughter, has six
names. One of the Saxe Weimar
Princes ha1* ten, but the. royal house
of Portugal and Saxony, carry this
absurdity of bearing many names to
the extreme. King Louis, of Portu?
gal, has nineteen names, while two
sisters and a broth ; have forty-two
among them, and three more of that
family rejoice in twenty-one names
apiece. The King of Saxony has six?
teen-but the average of his house is
one lower. Some of the inferior
princely houses of Europe are very
strong in fche name line.
Very much in contrast with the
strange practice of loading children
with a crowd of names, is the general
practice in countries wholly or pur
? 1 ?-? '_-_.J
! sidential chair, all except three had
only one Christian namei- In Eng?
land, too, among the great political
rolers and leaders, the same maj be
observed; Walpole, the two Pitts, Can?
ning, Grey, PeeLjBrougham, Grattan,
Cobden, Bright D'Israeli, *&nd" a
gPs.it number of one-named persons
might be counted up, and a compa?
ratively J snialle number of eminent
men with more than one-though in
this minority are Fox, Sheridan and
Curran ; Ixrcjds Derby and Palmerston,
and Mr. Gladstones Among thdfeingle
names are fhe two Bacons, (Roger
anti Sprancis,) Shakspeare, Johnson,
Milton, Cowley, Maxwell, Donne,
Dryden, Pope, Prior, Goldsmith, Sa?
muel Johnson, Cowper, Scott? Bo?
gers, Moore, Edgeworth, Smollet,
Fielding, Griffin and Dickens.
All this, however, is a digression
from the original question, whether
Victoria, "head of the Church," has
not violated her owii Rubric, by giv?
ing seven instead of three, sp on sors to
her little .grand-son. It is to be hoped
tliey will make a good tChristian of
him at any rate.
LrxraiEs *F 'rm: ANCIENTS-DIS?
COVERIES AT POMPEII.-Galignani's
Messenger, o| .August 9, has tho fol?
lowing:
The excavations at Pompeii are
going on with an activity, stimulated
by the important discoveries made
almost at every step, and the quanti?
ties of gold ?nd silver found, which
more than suffice to cover the cost of
the works. Near the Temple of Juno,
of which ,uin account was" recently
given, has just been brought to light, a
hotise no d?uht; belonging to some
niillionaire of the time, as the furniture
is of ivory, bronze, and marble. The
couches of the. triclimiun, or dining
1 room, are especially of extreme rich?
ness. The flooring consists of an
immense mosaic, well preserved in
parts, and of winch the centre repre?
sents a table laid out for a grand
dmner. In the middle, on a large
dish, may be seen a splendid pea?
cock, with its tail spread out, and
placed back to back with another bird
also of elegant plumage. Around
them are arranged, lobsters, one of
which holds a blue egg in its claws, a
second an oyster, which appears to
be fricaseed, as it is open, ana cover?
ed with herbs; a third,*1 a rat forci,
and a fourth, a small vase filled with
rrifid gp.%*ec>Lopi)ers. "Vovf. cojnkn n
circle of dishes of fish, interspersed
with othefs of partridges, hares, and ;
squirrels, which all have their heads I
placed between their fore feet. Then '
comes a row of sausages of all forms, j
supported by one?of eg?-s, oysters, j
and olives, which, m -its turn is sur- I?
rounded by a double circle of poaches, j
cherries, melons and other fruits and j
vegetables. The walls of tho tiiclimum
are covered with fresco paintings of .'
birds, fruits, flowers, ^ame, and fish-i
of all kinds, the whole interspersed '
with drawings, which lend a charm to !
the whole not easy to describe. On j
a table of rare wood, carved and in- !
laid witfi gold, marble, and agate, and i
lapis lazuli, were found amphora! still
containing wine; and come goblefs of !
onyx. j
