THE TEMPLE OF THE SUN.

/
pies, the pride of the capital, and the won
der of the empire, was at Cuzco, where, un-
der the munifcence of successive sovereigns,
1t had become so enriched, that it received
the name of Coricancha, or ''The Place of
Gold" 1t consisted of principal building
and several chapels and inferior edi6ces.
covering large extent Of ground in the
heart of The city, and completely encompass
ed by wal, which, with the edl6ces, was
all constructed Of stone. The work was of
the kind already described in The other pub
lie buildings of the country, and was so fine
ly executed, that Spaniard, who saw i, in
It's glory, assures US he could call to mind
only two ediices in Spain, which, for their
workmanship, we've at all to be compared
with it. Yeti substantial, and, in some
respects, magnificent structure, was thalch-
ed with straw
The interior of the temple was the most
worthy of admiration. 1t was literally a
mine of gold. On the western wall was
embiazoned representation of the deity,
consisting of human countenance, looking
forth from amids. innumerable rays of light,
which emanated from it in every direction,
in the same manner as the sun is often per-
sonlfied with us. The figure was engraved
on massive plate of gold, of enormous d.
menslons, thickly powdered with emeralds
and precious stones. 1t was so situated in
front of the great eastern portal, that the
rays Of the morning sun fell directly upon
it at It's rising, lighting up the whole apart
ment with an effulgence that seemed more
than natural, and which was reflected back
from golden ornaments with which the walls
and ceiling were everywhere incrusted.-
G"is, in the fgnralive language Of the peo-
pie, was 1.-The tears wept by the sum-" and
every part of the interior of the temple
glowed with Furnished plates and studs of
the precious metal. The cornices which
surrounded the walls Of The sanctuary were
the same costly material, and broad belt
or frieze of gold, let into the stone work,
encompassed the whole exterior of the edi-
flee.
All the plate, the ornaments, the utensils
of every description appropriated to the uses
of religion, were of gold or silver. Twelve

of the Indian corn; the censers for the per-
fumes, the ewers which held The water for
sacrifice, the pipes which conducted i, thro'
sub,erraneous channels into the buildings,
the reservoirs that received it, even the ag-
riculural implements used in the gardens of
the temple, were all Of the same rich mate

belonging to the royal palaces, sparhled with
flowers of gold and silver, and various imi-

also, were to be found there-among which
the lama, with its golden fleece, was most
conspicuous-execuled in the same style,
and with degree Of skill which, in this in

CONVERSION OF AJEw TO THE CATHOLIC
CHURcH.-An event which will no doubt
create considerable surprise among the Jew
ish body, took place at Osco.t College, near
Birmingham, short time since. We alIude
to The public remuneration Of the Jewish re-
ligion by Mr.. Benjamin Marcus, and his
profession of the Roman Catholic faith.--
Mr.. Marcus is native of Russan Poland,
author of the new work entitled JMikur Hay
EN-, printed at the University Press, Trinity
College, Dublin. He is also The author Of
many other works, and we'll versed in He
brew, Chaldee, and Rabbinical erudi,ion.-
tie has for some years past been lecturing
against Christianity, and in particular man
ner against the Protestant version of the
Bible. Afew days ago he received an in
PRODUCTION 10 the Rev. J. B. Morris, late I'M
der professor of Hebrew al Oxford, and a
convert to the Roman Catholic Church,
gentleman intimately acquainted with Jew
Ish modes Of thought and reasoning Dis
cusslons took place between these gentle
men upon the great questions at issue be-
tween them, which eventually terminated in
the expression, on the part of Mr.. Marcus,
OF thorough conviction of what he termed
the truths of Christianity, and desire to be
admitted into the Roman Church. Before,
however, this ceremony took place, Mr..
Marcus expressed desire to state his rea-
sons for his change; and accordingly the
household was assembled, young and old,
to hear his statement Of reasons. The Rev.
Mr.. Heneage then performed the ceremony
of baptism, after which, the convert made
a public profession of faith.

TEMPERANCE IN KING.-Our total alb
s'lnence friends are not, perhaps, generally
aware, that Charles XII, ''lhe mad King of
Sweden" as he called was by some of his
contemporaries, was pledged man, fnot a
member Of teeIo'al society. The anecdote
on which this statement is founded is given
in M. de Bury's "Essa Historique ct Moral
sur l'Educa,ion Franchise" Charles, as
every body knows, in the commencement
of his career, drank togreat excess. In one
of his drunken bouts he so far overs,epped
The limits OF his proprie,y as to treat the
Queen, his mother, with great disrespec,.-
The next day, on being informed of his
rndeness, he took glass wine in his hand
and repaired to the Queens room. CHA
DAM" said he to her, ~ have learned thai,
yesterday, in my cups, forgot myself to-
wards you. ! come to ask your pardon
and, to prevent recurrence of such fault, ]
drink this glass to your health i. shall be
the last during my life" He kept his word
and from that day never tasted wine. We
may add, by way of recommendation to the
habit, that in his subsequent life no King
was ever known 10 have undergone greater
hardships and enjoyed better health than
this cold-water monarch.

A dashing fellow, who seemed to think
he manifested his superiority by the disdain
he exhibited of anything like courtesy to
the humber classes of society, was driving
his gig, one rainy day, when he came to a
'oll-bar, and haughlily asked what was to
pay. "Eigh.pence, if you please,'' said the
civil galekeeper. Instead of handing the
money TO him, our grandee threw shilling
carelessly on the wet and muddy ground
saying, "Take your change GU, of ,hal.''-

ling the copper exactly on the same spot,
walked coolIy into his house.
