OLYMPIC GAMES.

These celebrated games receive Their
names, either from Olympia, where they
were observed, or from Jupiter Olympus,
the supreme Deity of the ancient Grecians.
| to whom they were dedicated. The lime
Of institution is no, known. Some authors
asc'lbe them TO Jupiter himself; some to
Pelops, but the more received opinion is in
favor of Hercules, who, after one of his vic
tories, established them in honor of Jupiter
Olympus, about the year 1922 before Christ.
from which lime they were regularly and
constantly celebrated every fourth year.
The Foot Race was the most ancient and
The most honorable Of any of the exercises.
The competitors were required to show TO
the Satisfaction of the judges, that they were
freemen, that they were Grecians by birth,
and free from any reproach upon their lives
and characters. Such being the qualities
required before they could enter the lists, ii
was some distinction even to have been an
unsuccessful competitor.
Filled with anxiety, the friends of each
comba'ant gathered around him stimulating
his exerlions, or sfo'ding him advice, until
the moment arrived when the signal .rum
pet sounded. At this, the runners started
off, amid the cries and clamor, of the excil-
ed multitude, whose vociferalions did no.
cease until the lumpei sounded again, and
proclaimed the name and abode OF the win
ner. So much lory was attached to the
contest that the name Of the victor was gen.
orally associated with the number of the
.Olympiad, (for the Greeks reck oned time
by The celebration of these games, and quot
ed with it by writer's and historians
The victor was not crowned until the last
day of the festival, but a, the end of the race
he carried off branch of palm. On receiv-
ing this, every one pressed forward to con-
gratula.e him, his friends embraced him with
tears of joy, and lifting him on their should
ers, held him up 10 the applause Of the spec
ta,ors, who s,rewed handfuls Of flowers over
him.
On the las. day of the festival, the victors
received the honor Of public coronation, d
ceremony preceded by pompous sacrifices.
Encircled with the olive wreath. gathered
from the sacred tree behind the Temple of
Jupiter, the viclors, dressed in rich habits
and bearing palm-branches in their hands,
marched in grand procession TO the place
of coronation, surrounded by an immense
multitude who filled the air with their ac-
clamalions. Then, the trumpet being sound
ed, the herald proclaimed The name and
country Of the victor, the acclamations OF
the people were redoubled, and flowers and
garlands were showered upon the happy
conqueror, who was thought to have attain
ed the highest pinnacle Of human glory and
felicity.
Upon returning to their own country load
ed with honors, the victors sometimes en-.
tered their native city through breach made
in the walls, to denote that the place which

No forest cliff, with MOSES gray,
Seemed ever half so old as he

Each sphere from out of shadow rolled,
And slowly INTO shadow slid
And all with bloody stains were red,
And foul with blots of sable hue;
And that gray beadsman sighed and said
A prayer with every bead he drew

"On him who counts those sliding spheres;
His hands are measuring out for man
And nations their appointed years.

Alas see the bloodstain there,
And there the blots of guilt appear!
