Account of Giants.

That most ancient and respectable
Of all histories. the Holy Bible, estab-
fishes to US distinctly several races
Of giants, as the Rephaims, the Ana
kims, the Enims, the Zonzonims, &c.
The Anakiins, or descendants Of
Anak, were the inhabitants OF the
promised Land. to which Moses
would lead the Jews. 1t was those
Anakims, who being seen by the spies.
sem 10y the Aebrew General, were
reported to be men Of that size,
that the Hebrews were but as grass
hoppers to them. The giant Og, king
of Bashan, overcome by Moses. was
of that race, whose bedstead of brass
measured fifteen feet and a half,* and
the Rabhins sustain, that that was
not even his bed, but only his cradle
when a child.
When Joshua entered the land of
Canaan, he defeated the descendants
of Anak, who inhabited the cities of
Hebron, Dabir and Anab, and only
spared those of GAIA, Gath and AZ

STANEAS.
BY JOHN c. PRICE.

Man Of Toll, would'st thou DO free,
Lend thine ear to reasons call;
There's folly in the drunkard's glee-
There's madness in the midnight brawl:
The riba!d's Jest. the vulgar sang,
May lead to ruin and despair:
Let truth unloose thy fettered SOUL
There is co freedom IN the bowl.
Man of Toll, would'st thou be wise.
The paths of moral life explore:
Piece the human hearts disguise,
And trace It's motives to the core;
Creations boundless beauties scan,
Observe its wonders - search its laws;
Look on the vast harmonious plan,
And learn to love the Eternal Cause;
Let trooth Hume thy darkened soul
There is no wisdom in the bowl.
Man Of Toll, wouldst thou be blest.
Give thy purest feelings play;
Bring all that's noble to thy breast,
Let all that's worthless pass away.
Let generous deeds bid sorrow cease.
Let g~entlest words thy lips empty;
Scatter the seeds Of love and peace,
And reap a harvest full O fjoy:
Let truth make glad thy harassed soul
There are no blessings in the bowl.

OF these giants were seen; and where
~Josephus informs US, that, in his time,
their bones OF a monstrous and in.
credible size were vet shewn.
The Raphims, descended from Ra-
pha and continued below the time Of
David; Goliath of Gath, who was
slain by that king Of the I~sraelites,
was ten feet seven inches high, and
was one of the last branches Of that
family; and the scripture hath men
toned four others, one of which was
brother to Goliath, and were slain by
David and his soldiers.
Profane Historians have not been
less fruitful on this subject. They
gave seven feet Of hight to Hercules,
their first hero, which is nothing sur.
prising, as that is the smallest Of the
gigantic size; and, in our days, we
have seen men eight feet high.-Ths
emperor Maximin is reported to have
been of that size.
The body of Orestes, according to
the Greeks, was eleven feet and a
half; the giant Galbara, brought from
Arabia to Rome, under Claudius Ca-
sar, was near ten feet; and the bones
of Secondillas and Pusio, keepers of
the gardens of Sullust, were but six
inches shorter.
Funnan. a Scotsman, who lived in
the time Of Eugine the second, king
of Scotland, measured eleven feet
and a half; and Jacob lie Mare, in his
voyage to the Straights Of Magellan,
reports, that the 18th of December,
1916, they found at Port Desire, sew
eral graves covered with stones; and
having the curiosity to remove the
stones, they discovered several hui
man skeletons of ten and eleven feet
long.
The Chevalier Scory, in his voy-
age to the Peek of Teneriffe, relates,
that they found, in one of the sepul-
chral avern Of that mountain, the
head of u Guanche, which had eighty
teeth, and that the body, which was
in the burial.place of the kings Of
Guimar. and Of whose a C it was
said to be, was not less than fifteen
feet high.
The giant Ferragus, sloin by Or
lando, nephew to Charlemagne, was
eighteen feet high.
Roland, a celebrated Anatomist.
who wrote in the year 1914. says,
that some years before, there was to
be seen, in the suburbs of St. Ser
maine's at Paris. near ST. Peters
Chapel, the tomb of the giant ~Isoret,
who was twenty feet high.
In the City of Rouen, in 1909,
some persons employed in digging in
the bitches near the Jacobins, found
a stone tomb, which contained a skel-
eton, whose skull held a bushel of
corn, and whose shin bone reached
up 10 the girdle of the talest man
there. 1t being about four feet long,
and consequently the body must have
been seventeen or eighteen feet high.
Upon the tomb was a plate Of cop
per, where on was engraved sin this
tomb lies the noble and puissant lord,
the Chevalier Ricon de Vallemont,
and his bones" Platerus, a famous
physician. who certainly knew hu.
man bones from others, declares, that
he saw at Lucerne, the true human
bones of a subject, which must have
been at leas; nineteen feet high.

AN EPIGRAM.

AN EPIGRAM.
"Can you tell me, sir, why
And whence came the cry
For Tip and for Typ"
1t was an arrangement
For every thing strange meant.
Tip had done good hard service:
Ty had turned topsytervies.
Tip, in size, was to Ty
AS a horse to a fly:
Ty, in virtue, to Tip
As a cent TO a ftp.
Tip was brave as a Spartan:
Ty was always unsartoin.
Tip was firm as a rock:
Ty, a mere weathercock.
To u cause a strong prop,
Tip was fit for the top.
Ty was born for the bottom;
Lord send he had got him!
He surely was made there:
All, would he had staid there:
Fate, the earth's freakish mistress,
Sent us both for our distress,
Equal cause of griefgiving
In the dead and the living.
They came into place
Like the rear and the face:
Now, Face is no more,
And Behind's got before!"
