They showed us a miniature cemetery there--a copy of the first graveyard that was ever in Marseilles, no doubt.

The delicate little skeletons were lying in broken vaults and had their household gods and kitchen utensils with them.

The original of this cemetery was dug up in the principal street of the city a few years ago.

It had remained there, only twelve feet underground, for a matter of twenty-five hundred years or thereabouts.

Romulus was here before he built Rome, and thought something of founding a city on this spot, but gave up the idea.
