The Crum5Iing Crescent.

A latter day traveller, lingering in the monu-
mental shadows of Egypt, heard fall one morn
ing. from the mosque OF Amer. large piece of
stone and cement This mosque is considered a
meter of the duration of MahOmmedanism. 1t
has upheld the corroding PARTICLES Of centuries,
and upon its walls and towers thousands of gen
cratious have gazed and believed that within was
their holieSt shrine. 1t stood firm. not sand
grain fell, not an ornament was driaccd. not a
stone was moved, not rust spot appeared its
gliding faded not its FURNISHED silver shone until
the worshipper cnnervated, dreamlul and sensu-
al, began to neglect the requirements of his faith
Then the temple caught the breath of decay, and
the elories Of distant years came and put their
spectral fingers in the tracks of ruin and on the
ulcers Of sin. Every Mosque felt the cold touch
and the chill has reached all the people aud their
lust-iever and voNptuous warmth viii not melt
the arctic frost g,tcning over their religious and
national doom. The Crescent, brightest emblem
raised in the heroic ages, is trembling above the
undcr iarring OF European progress, and the in-
hueuce OF Christianity is brushing away the fast
forming dust Of its final change. When it. power
expires mankind will not mourn, but the echo Of
its fall will revcrhrate through time. rejoice the
invisible Heavens and stir the ashes in Mecca $

snnerinas oT Alexander Grant. ono of the
Crew Of the Central AmericD.

Alexander Grant was fireman belonging TO
the Central America Soon after his arrival at
this port he hurried home to his wife and child. In
Vandam street When we saw him he had just
arrived with the news Of his own safety. and was
surrounded by his family and friends He looked
like one risen from the grave. The intense suf
ferings which he had undergone on the steamer.
then on the raft and lastly In the boat. were Wis.,
ihle in every linament of his face. He looked
like one who. having been brought to deaths
door bv a scorchiug fever had Just passed the
crisis OF the disease. His large manly face was
white and almost leshless showing the bony out
lines with CHASTITY distinctness, and his black.
Scared lips looked as though in his agony he mad
frequently bitten them through. But the most
shocking traces of suffering were in his eyes,
Naturally large. they were now preternaturally
dstended, and wore fixed, straining, seepless
expression. as though still looking from the frail
raft along the drcary hor zon for friendly sail.
His voice. too, was boarse and hollow, and boils
had broken out upon his body from prolonged
exposure to salt water.
Making known to him our object In calling. he
excused himself from giving any narrative at
present. as he felt too much prostrated to endure
the effort In conversation, however, we learned
some facts of interest
This is not the first second or third time Mr..
Grant has been cast away. Though yet a young
man, he has frequently been placed in scenes OF
peril, and this is the fourth time that he has been
wrrc rcked Ten years ago, when boy on Fall
River schooner, he was wrecked in the Bay OF
Fonda, and narrowly escaped with his life. Three
years ago he was fireman on the steamer Arctic,
and when that vessel went down was left floating
on a piece of timber on the broad Atlantic After
several days Of intense suffering he was picked up
by the ship Cambria and carried with Capt. Luce
TO Quebec. Nearly two years ago he was fireman
on the steamship Crescent City, and when that
vessel Went ashore on the Bahamas, had third
providential escape with his life, Still he did not
quit the sea, but engaged again "a fireman on
on her when she went down. Just as the steam
er was sinking. he, with nine others, got upon u
piece Of the hurricane deck that they bad previ-
ously cut clear and when the vessel sank IL

How they Left.

The Bulle.in publishes a statement from Theo-
dore Payne, concerning the loss of the Central
America. He thus describes his leaving the
wreck
Just as the last boat left. containing. as we
thought all the females and children, Captain
llcrndon app oach, d M. and said. What do you
think OF affairs? . said. THANK God. the women
and hdrrn are all of, and we are strong Yes.
thank Cod he replied, and you. sir. take the
nrNt boat Up to this time the general opinion
was that we conld all get safely on the brig. and
|. in common with others, was not over anxious
to leave the ship, whilst anything could be done.
Capt. lI,rndon's telling me to 90, the anxiety
manifested 10y the Chief Engineer, and the water
increasing above the second cabin floor, rather
aroused my apprchenSions. and determined to
get oil as soon ms the boat returned ; this must
have been full three quarters of an hour, during
which tine was almost constantly by the Cap
tain'S sde. He was perfectly calm and seltpos
sesstd. giving orders in manner that never fail
ed to haveits cf', ct. Our consultation continued
until the approach Of one of the boats, when
Captain llrrudOn requested me to go tO his office
and get his watch and chain, and. il saved take
them to bis wife Said he, Tell her to -
Here his uttcrance was chokcd by deep emotion
Saving nothing further ON that subject. but on
resuming speech he wished me to see Marshall o.
Roberts OF the Steamboat Company. and commu
njcate with him in relation to the disaster. After
saying this be walk, away few steps, sat down
on n bench with his head in his hands, apparently
overcome. lie remained in that position a few
minutes, then arose and resumed giving orders,
when boat from the brig returned alongside.
At this time it was made known that three Ge-
male Steerage passengers were still ON board.
immediately went and brought them to the for
ward davit on the starboard side, when they were
lowered into the boat by Mr. Ashby. Just then a
Stecrage, male passenger jumped from the deck
into the boat. g. McCarty, Chief Engineer ofthe
colleen Gate. was then lowered after him, MIR.
Ashby MAS also lowered into the boat. He had
scarcely got in when another steerage passenger
jumped from the deck, falling upon the Engi
ne,r's back. lie seized him by the throat aud
drew knife-not. in my opinion, with the inten-
ton OF using 1t upon the passenger but for the
purpose OF detcrrng Others from following the
example. | then bade Capt. Herndon good bye.
and Was lowered into the boat. We then pushed
of, when II third passenger swung himself off
over the bows and fell INTO the boat, at the same
time dropping from his pocket into the ocean
package Of gold containing $4,000. We were
then rowcd in safety to the brig which at this
time must have been quite three miles oil.

OLp FRIENDS RE UNITED 4 singular story was
related To rs yesterday which, our informant AS
sures us. is true. Two men named Morgan and
Lrvick, came 10 this country nearly twenty
years ago on board an English trading vessel
They left the ship and squated on piece of land
in this city where the northwest corner OF Du-
pont and Broadway now IT, where they built q
shantv and have lived together ever since. They
were industrious and economical. and said to be
strictly honest and in the course Of the past TWEEN
ty years they have amassrd n handsome fortune
and built two large brick houses on the lot where
their shanty originally stood. besides row of
wooden bindings which they rented ont During
all this time neither Morgan nor Lpvick had
heard anything from their friends in Mrrrie
England. and the ycarning to see their kith and
kin grew strong upon them. Lrvick determined
TO visit England aud see IT any of his family still
liv,d-nccordi gly he settled mp his business as
closely as possible, left his old friend Morgan az
his agent. and started ON the steamer Sonora on
the 20h Of AUGUST AT Aspnwall hc took the
i'll iatcd steamer Central America and was lost
with hundreds Of others in the great September
gale off Cape llattcras. The news came by the
Panama on the 22d inst. his old partner. Nor
gan was so affected that he abandoned himself
entirely to his grief, and refused TO be comorted.
He denied himself even the nCccssaries OF life.
and would neither eat nor sleep; in this way he
continued mourning the loss Of his friend, until
last Wednesday. when dcnth lightencd his sor-
row, and lifting the veil which separated them.
brought the two old friends again together in a
home where partugs are unknown. Before Lev
ick left for Europ", they each made will and
hrqueathed his entire property to the other. AT
Levick's death his property went to Morgan. and
now Morgan i. dead, and the property, some fifty
thousand dollars in value, is without claimants.

they are speaking and a more common in fact
might almost say roNdy looking set OF men is
not often met with. The rooms. however. are
spleud d. are finished with great taste. There
are no cha. deicrs or lamps to obstruct the view,
the entire rooms being lighted by gas from the
ceiling. perhaps something on the plan adopted
in the Methodist Church in 7th avenue, New
York. The gas-lighls are covered 10y stained
glass, 50 that you can hardly see the 1am". and
on turning the gas ON, the building is lighted mp

light comes if ahout l5 feet 10y 10, immediately
