The Seven Wonders of the World

The Seven Wonders OF the World,
we're the boosted marvels ofantiquity
and although frequently referred to,
both in speaking and writing, it is
clear that they were but little known
to tile great mass Of mankind. In
deed. modern. discoveries and Won
ders have thrown them Elr into the
shade. They were:
|. The Colossal Statue, OF Blazen
Image of the Sun, at Rhodes.
,. The Egyptian Pyramids.
5. The Temple of Diana, at Ephe-
sus-
1. The Nauso oleum of Aausolus,
King, Of Caria
5. The Walls and Hanging Gar
dens of/the City OF Babylon.
6. The Statue Of Jupiter Olym-
pus at Ellis.
I. The Pharos (watch tower Pto-
lemy Philadelphus, on the Island Of
Pharos, in the Bay of Alexandra.
The first of these, the Colossus of
Rhodes, was a brazen image of Apol-

feet high. 1t was constructed by
Chares, of indus, 299 B. c., but
thrown down by an earthquake, 224
B. c. This gigantic figure stood up
on two holes or piers, a leg being ex-
tended upon each side Of the ha FbOr
So that a vessel in full sail could en-
ter between. A winding staircase
led to the top, from which could be
discerned the shores Of Syria, and
the ships that sailed on the coast of
Egypt. The statue had lain in ruins
for nearly nine centuries, never hav-
ing been repaired; but in A. d. 672,
the Saracens took Rhodes, pulled
the statue to pieces, and sold the
metal, weighing 10000 lbs, to a
Jew, who is said to have laden nine
hundred camels, in transporting it to
Alexandria. Such is the account de-
rived from the researches of Du tres-
noy.
The Egyptian Pyramids are the
only ancient wonders that remain
entire or nearly so. These however,
are so well known to every reader,
and were so fully described in our re-
ports of Mr. Gibbons Lectures about
a year since, that t to repeat the des-
cription. would be to infict the te-
dium Of thrice told tale.

the Cathedrals of modern Europe.
The Mausoleum was erected by
Artemissa, wife of MausoluS, King
of C;lria, who was exit remely hand
some, and died at an e; rly age, 353
B. C. His wife to show her love and
grief, drank up his ashes in wine, and
resolved to erect to his memory one
of the grandest and n3blest monu-
ments of antiquity. 1t was built by

five of these gardens, each containing
about four English acres and di isposed

The statue of Jupiter Olympus of
Els was the most glorious work Of
that great sculptor, Phidias. His
statue of Minerva at Athens, was 30
feet high; but that of Jupite was
not only lar ger and loltier, but supe-
rior in every point Of view. Out OF
gratitude to the honor conferred by
him upon their city, the Ellis ap-
pointed the descendants of Phidias,
to the office Of keeping the NJ lagniii-
cent statue clean, and preserving it
from injury
The Pharos of Alexandria, buI 1T by
order of Ptolemy PhiIadelphps, was
tower of white marble, that could
be seen at the distance of one hum
dred miles. On the top fires were
kept constantly burning, to direct
sailors, in the bay. There was an
inscription upon it--"King Pt6lemy
to the gods, the saviors, for the ben
eft of sailors" But Sostratls, the
architect wishing the glory, engraved
his own name upon the stones, filled
the hollow with mortar, and inscribed
as above. When the mortar decayed
by time, Ptolemy's S name disappeared,
and the following then becani c visi-

Dexiphanes, to the gods, the saviors,
