I , THE RUINS CT POMPEII) ' The:City of Pompeii stood:on tlie gulf L plea, at thel mouth of the small river . Sarnus, .Banio, about' twelve miles 'froui the of I\ now city is SD I of Naples, dod fiye miles front VeSuvius. It= i'rrounded by walls - which have been traced in varicius parts of their circuit, in order to'determine us extent. It eiccupies nearly as muchspUce as' Reading, and must have contained many , more inhabitants, as its streets are narrower,.and it was much more densely built. Its walls: Were no douht formerly washed by .thesea, hut at present the beach is at least • a mile distant. Its destrue tion,h as already stated,' bappened by }thej great eruption of • Mount Vdsuvius in the year 79 of / the Christian era, and it was again discovered in 1750, by a ,vide-dresser, while working in his 1 vineyard, which teas situated ovsr the city, and near the Sarno: It Was covered to the depth of twelve or fifteen feet only, by Show ers of ashes, and pumice -stone, which,are easily removed. About one-third of the city, comprising eighteen streets. id the most interesting parts of it, are now disinterlred. The principal part of these excavations were made' by theeneach while in possession of Naples, and they are at preserit still continued, though slowly, by the Neapolitan go. verninent. • - • As this itl-fated city presents' the most interest ing Illustrations of "the habits, mannerir , and cus toms of the ancients in their minuteit detail, and as an intense desire to visit it has'been among my earliest and fondest dream... I wouldi earnestly beg you to have patience with me if I should de-. tain you an unreasonable' time within its curious precints. Let us then proceed sloe. ly and re.iti; tarty to examine all the objets of inteaist, as they were found, and call to mind those Which we have already seen wish such intense curiosity iii the Masco Bur:bonito, at Naples, fullotving the order laid down by the invaluable guide book of Mad. Stark, 'and cariying a chart of the city in. our bands. - This road is suppcitsyd to be an extension oldie famous Via •Appia qom Rome. The' extensive ruin on our right ,waS the splendid. villa of Marcus Arius Diomedes, bet,utifully situated on the de clivity of a hill. This house evidently had three stories, which was unusushat Pompeii ; the up.' per one was destroyed, but we will enter the sec ond by this flight of steps .which leads op from the street of Tombs. This brings us into the Peristyle formed of fouecoluinns, - that opens by a passage into an open Qudrangle surrounded by four porticos resting on fourteen columns ; with a large ,cistern in its centre. This received the rain water, and'conducted it into the well, .Whose mar. ble top is deeply worn by the ropes used to draw water from it. In this story was the Lararium, or chapel of the household - gods, in Which was found a beautiful little statue of Minerva. Here were the servants' rooms, in one of which was found the skeleton of a dog and here were the guest-cbambers,in which.visitors were received. This corridor leads to apartments delightfully overlooking the sea, and the terraces which rise up from the garnen. Here is a pretty little cabir.et or 'boudoir, whose walls are delightfully, painted and Contains an alabaster jet d'eau in the form of a table.. This large saloon, is neatly Aecorated with . paintings of birds, fruits, masks, and in it were found fragments of a silver vase. Here is the friehlinium or dining hall, which appears small for so, sumptuous a house ; but. then you must recollect that the triclinia were family din ing rdo:ns only, and that when dinner parties were given by the ancients their tables , were spreid in the occus, in the peristyle or under its porticos. Observe the beautiful frescos in these . ante-rooms-the car of Diana, with her,stags un harnessed, the cat of Apollo drawn by . , gryphons, &c., and all as fresh as if the artist bad just left his work. What do you think our good ladies would say, if they were shown into such contrac ted covey -boles as these, for chambers I They might readily conceivettthat the servant in a fit of absence'of mind had mistaken the door and open ed the clothes press, if they did riot see the low, narrow platform on which the bed was placed. These alcoves in the chambers were covered by curtains, as rings were found at their top. • This apartment was a dressing-room, in which a num ber of small glass vases were found; for containing perfumes and cosmetics. Here is another tric linium, probably', doignetl . for winter.' Let us pass through this ante-room, and we shall see the whole luxuriant arrangement of . the -public baths ; tRO to 8100 - 25 to - 40 36-Iy I LOVE A LAUGH, Can ne'er.ba LINES TO A LADY MEI iof a gentleman - Of wealth:. Bathing , was consi -1 dered a taxury of the tiro importance among the ancients., and hence the space occupied by, and then care and expense oestovved upon their baths. Here is the Hypecaustrunt or stove room, there the Prigidariain or cold bath; the Spolialerium is the hall in whiph the bathers undressed and dressed.' This apartment had glazed windows, it was supposed. The Terpidariumwas a ioom ' heated by hot air passed under a Hollow pave mem. and between double walls, where the bath , ers were scraped with Strigils and anointed with oil. - The panes of glass we sawin the Muse um at Naples, were taken from this apartment, and the sash-of the window, was found reduced Ito charcoal. ' This' is the Sudatorium. or steam bath; this the Cal/day/um or but bath, and this the Laconicura or hot air bath. The windows of the Calidariurn were also glazed. • This large' hall in Roman houses is called the occtes, and was used as a dining.room on . galifolays. 'reThe small. cabinet on thisside appears to have been the library , . whish, although insufficient at the present day to hold the literary treasure of many ailnovel-read ing Miss, was yet abundantly 'ample ,to contain, the whole library of a Pompciian. -Now let us descend to the ground floor, and eiamine this large hall, which must have been magnificent, judging from the remains of the paintings, and stucco with which its walls Were decorated. In this apartment 'were found the remains of a - carpet; These small rooms appear to have been designed fur servants, and in them were found a human skeleton, - and that of ,an animal', with is ' install bell, shovels, "and other 'agricultural imple ments. Here is the kitchen,E and, there is the oven, and this , 'the kitchen fire place, both of which might he put to their former uses, so per feCtly preserved.are they ! I really , feel as if,f were intruding on the domestic- privacy of this rich gentleman's house, and 'start at every blast of Wind., lest I 'should meet one of his slaves, 't nd 'be ordered away. In the kiicheri were found a :stove, with the' covered bronze; Stew-pan upon it, , which we saw in the Museuni.l Here is the gar -den with the very soil laid out ,- as directed by the good taste of Mad. Diomedes.; eighteen hundred years ago! It is Hulked by porticos under which its rich owneccould walk in bad weather and en 'Joy its delOitful.perfunies, and' l a,Nrg,u/a or sum-- mer house was ' erected in its-centre, in which I was a table supported qn a pedestal, to which the family no doubt-often resorted in thOse charming ly mild summer' evenings to take' Hien .ealidu,:. (hoddrinks, coniiosed of hut wider, wine and spi ces) as our - good ladies take their tea. , Perhaps, in the absence of Monsieur, a few intimate or lady friends Were also admitted, and then a - bit ofscans dal and -the discuSsion of the fashions from would give increased zest to their cups of Calida. Near these Skeletons were 1116 fohnd fragments of silver'vases, and that linen wrapper in the' Mu- seein, confainm r g, eighty-eight silver, ten gold and ', nine bronze coins.. Here in this part of • thM gar- -' den is the reservoir fur fish, embellished by 'a jet &eau; for a Roman cook it is said always select ed his fish perfectly fresh. , Observe a number of i Arophom (wine .jars) leaning - -against the - back wall of the garden; tiv - y, were probably set out in preparation 'for the approaching vintage. Under these , porticos 'of the garden were the cellars ai 3ou see, lighted sand ventilated ~from the street, by loop holes formed 'exactly, like those of modern date. - In this cellar were found the skeletons of eighteen adults and two chtldreo, one quite an in• 'fant. The cellar wits nearly :filled up with fine ashes'hiown in thMugh the locqi holes, and foto'- eel perfect moulds around each corpse. rt. you will come a little nearer', you will see the distinct im pression of, the female breast and part of the neck here against the wall: This unfortunate subject seemed to have perished in a standing - position.= What must have been the horror end alarm of i this wretched group of huMan beings on that aw ful day of-destruction and devastation ! Near the 1 skeleton of the young woman, the impression of 1 whose body you have seen in theidndurated ashes, were found several geld neeklaceaNlver and bronze - 1 rings, a comb, and in her hand a purse full of cop per . coins. Thisis i.ei purse which you saw at . .! the Museum so surprizingly preserved. On the other side of the street and nearly' opposite this house, you see the tombs of the family of Diomedes. • , Adjoining the villa of Diomedes, towards the P gate,of the city, is a small, rectangular structure, whdse wall's ale struccOed and adorned with paint ings, which . contains- three platforins, couch es, and the marble pedestal of a tahle. In this was eaten the Silic , rutiain 'or funeral repast.— Farther on you observe some' beautifill tombs in white marbleon the sameside of the way. The first beafs the inscription of Navoleta Tyche and daius Marianas Faustus„ and is an elegant funeral monument in the form of 'an altar, whose -side are ornamented a lvith. bassi-relieva One of them rep- j resents a vessel going into, port, Its.interior you,: observe is a Colu,nbariunr, (Mates constructed to receive the cinerary urns) in Which 'were found three hirge glass vases 'or urns Cased in lead, and containing burnt hones., rind a liquor Composed et . ' • orrand wine. Marry 'lamp and bins ut pottery. , Wive zilo - found here. The nexcis the I..sgiliti; cent tocib of Cuircraios Quietus, who, it aPpisars from Mil inscription, was sire of the Augusta's, an order of priests bearing a high rank.- Let us now cross to the opposite side of the, street, and exam ine yon tomb without an inscription, and having a marble door by which vse,,can enter it. It hart but one niche, in which was ' found a, single cinerary urn, containing burnt bones and ashes, and on it was deposited a gold ring: Here on the righl side of the street is the tomb of Airicius IScourns, embellished with bassi.relievi of glailistoral corn -huts.. Its interior is a very perfect epluorba , iuoi,' consisting of; many compartinents. It appears from the inscription that the I titagtstrate's of the city bad decreed art equestrian I swum- of Scaurus ' to be erected in the Forum. 1 Nearly opposite this you observe the ruins of a Very large Imildirig that Was fronted. by a long portico, This was a tfospifium or inn. Here in the court yard is the fountain with a . watering Place for cattle, still in good repair. • Under the ruins of the portico were found five skeletonsof human subjects who appeared to have perished in each other's embrace. -They are stipPoserl to have been a mother and tier children: Two othet ske letons were also found in this house with a number of gold and bronze coins near them. A great va riety of interesting articles were, found on this spot which you saw in the min:mina', Gold rings and ear rings, lamps, water buckets, tongs, scales, cups, pots,' vases; [ochry Matirries of"glass, bottles; pad locks, a marble mortar - exactly resembling modern ones:dice, &e., 4r.c, These i.tllaries or ; the top of the building must have, commanded a magnifi cent view. - • thL right hs - sl -: i_. - . On th right hand side of the way, and opposite to the inn you observe that large square spice originally suirounded by porticos. This was tscslled the V4trina, or 'the Once Where the dead were burnt and their ashes colleCted. • This plat form of mas o nry, and these hrell'en vases ore =up• posed to have served- for washitig the dead. Tile path leads up to the ruins of a spacious villa, which has received the name,: fur what reason I know not, of Cicero's Villa. On one of the is ills was tfrscovered the following ..Sea and fresh tooter bathsbf Apretis CrassusTrugi 'W." Here were idund some fine frescoes and those beautiful mosaics. Made by Dioscodes of Sa mos, (whose naine'thei bear,) representing comic scenes which we so much admired in the museum. . • Oppgite this villa is a small semicircular ing with a seat of mason work-aroian4 it, and on the right hand side of the way neap the gate, are two similar Ones, finished willti,stu,ccq am* roofed. They seem to have been designed as resting places for foot passengers. Near the first were found two_ skeletons with numerous broego and gold coital. This niche akin to the city gate was the ccntry box, end bj it 4 of the plaid with hie la a true Roman, did, not.. the awful catastrophe th city 1 Here we are, then, in reality under the Wills of the city of Pompeii, and "at a step two,thousand years roll backward !^ 'The ardent and dearly cherished dcaires of my . hole life accomplished ! It seems life a wakingdream! Never shall the. impression of this moment be effaced from my me mory, for it,is an epoch i my life, which Will ever be recurred to with unce sing pleasure.,. „ The whole city w,es , encompassed #+y double walls . , of which you seib a , ecimen excavated here on our left. . The exte r ai,Wall ran through the' centre of a ditch, and between ti.P two walls is the platform called agger, about twenty l' e zt in width.

Some parts of the walls appear to ' have been repaired rather hastily, per haps after-their injury hy the earthquake which is known to have occurre dn the year 63. Hero is one of l tho square towers by - which the walls were fortified at unequal %lista ces varying from ono to five hundred feet; lamering to the nature of the i. ground to be defended.

The central era: desigred fdr carriages is about fifteen Wet `wide and hi , It int proportion, and the 'side arches, calculated fo foot Passengers are 'about live feet w i de and' ten in height. On this gate u, as found 'an inscription stating that there would ' bad eti tie and gls liataria com'atts at the Amphi theatre, and thht - the a ats would be shaded by awnings. .

It. - kith is thirty-three feet including the side 'tvalice, which are about five feet wide, arid raised about a foot and a half abtive the pavement.
