THE SPHYNN.

Near the pyramids, more wondrouS, and
moIe awful than all else in the land of Egypt
there sits the lonely SPhynX. Comely the crea-
ture is, bot the comelneSS Is not of this world /:
the once worshiPped beast is a delormity, and a
monster 10 this generation, and yet you can see
that those lips, 50 thick and heavy, were fash
ioned according 10 some ancient mould of beau-
ty-some mould Of beauty now lorgotten-lor-
gotten, because that Greece drew forth Cvthe-
rea from the flashing foam ofthr Megean, and in
her image created new forms OF beauty, and
made It a law among men that the short and
proudly wreathed lip should stand for the sign
and the main condition OF IovrlineSs, through
all generations to come. Yet still there lives
on the race Of those who were beautiful in the
fashion Of the elder world and Christian girls
Of Coptic blood, will icok on you with the sad,
SeronS gaze, and kiss your, charitable hand
with the big, poutlng lips of the very SphynX.
Laugh and mock II you Will at the worship
OF stone idols, but mark We this, ye breakers of
images, that IN one regard, the stone idol bears
awful semblance Of Deity -unchangelulness in
The midst OF Change-the same seeming will
and intent, forever and ever ineXorable Ur-
on ancient dynastIes OF Ethiopian and Egyptian
kiDgS-upon Greek and Roman, upon Arab
and Ottoman querers-npon Napoleon
dreaming OF an Eastern Empre-upob battle
aud peslllencr-npon the ceaseleSS misery ofthe
Egyptian racr-upon kren-eyed travellers
Herodotus yesterday, and Varbnrton 10 day
upon all these S. NOR, this worldly Sphv nx has
watched, and watched like Providence, with
the same earnest eyes, and the same sad, tram
quil mlen. And We, We shall die, and Islam
will withrr away and the Englshman, lean
ing far over to hold his loved India, will plant
tim foot on the banks of the Nile, and sit in
the srats of the faithful, and still that seepIess
rock will lie watching and watching the works
OF the new, busy race, with those same sad,
earnest eyes. and the same tranquil mien ever
lasting. You dare not mock at the Sphynx-
Eothen.

ASPECTS OF OUR LARGE CITIES.

When men die. corruption commonly begins
after death, but when nations die, it always
begins before it. And, as in that mans gang
rened eXtremities, and swollen feet and slow cir
culation, | see the heralds Of death approaching
In these goddess masses sunk in ignorance, lost
to the profession ofreligion, and even TO the de-
cent habits OF civilized society, see the Host
alarming sgus of a nations danger-unless
remedies are promptly applied, the unmstake-
able forerunnerS of a nations death. Unless
early, active, adequate measures are employed
to arrest the progress of our social maladies,
there remains for this mighty empire no fate but
the grave-tbat grave which has closed over all
that have gone before it. Whfre are the Assy-
rlan and Egyptian monarchIeS! Where is the
world wide power OF Romeo Egypt lies en-
tombed amid the dust of her catacombs.
Assyria is buried beneath the mounds of Nine
yah. Rome lives only in the pages of history,
survives but in the memory Of her greatness, and
the majestic ruins of the eternal City" Shall
our fate resemble theirs? Shall it 90 to prove
that Providence has extended the same law of
mortality to nations that lies on men-that they
also should struggle through the dangers OF a
precarious infancy, grow up into the brauty,
and born with the ardor OF youth, arrive at the

ing, pass through the blindness and decay of
old age, until they drop into the tomb? Under
God, ii depends upon ourselves whether that
shall, or shall not, b. cur fate. Matters are not
SO far gone but it may yet be averied. A great
French general, who reached the battlefield al
sun-down, found that the troops Of his country
had been worsted 10 the fight; uaskilllul ar
rangements had neuiraized Gallo bravery, and
offered the enemy advantages which they were
not slow 10 srize. He accosted the unfortunate
commander; having rapidly learned how mat
ters stood, be pulled out his watch, turned his
eyes on the sinking sun, and said-"There's
time yet 10 gain the victory" He rallied the
broken ranks he placed bmselfat their head,
and launch ing them, with the arm of giant in
war, upon the columns of The foe, he pIucked
the prize from their hands-won the day
There is no time 10 lose. To our case, perhaps,
may be applied the words, which would leave
solemn warning to every worldly. careless,
Christian man, Behold, now is the accepted
time; behold, now is the day of salvaton."-

DfEp, ut hor father's residence, in Pickens
district, on the 10Th of October, of Flux Miss
MARY MARGARET McKINNEY % years and
I3 days old. MARGARET wasa young lady of
good disposition aud beloved much by those
who lSuew her, TO know her was to be ae-
quainted with one that was naturally anna
BILE, modest and retiring IN all her dcport-
msnts. She joined the Nj. T., Church, the
10th of March, 1856, rs 81 sccker of religion,
but did not obtain tho pearl of great pricctill
after she was taken sick. Some 4 or days
before her death she obtained peace by Faith
through our Lord Jesus Christ When first
takensick she seemed desirous to get we'll but
after she obtained religion she was more than
willing to die. She spent the most of the
time in talking to and exhorting her friends
to prepare to meet her in Heaven, assuring
them that she was prepared for and was 20
ing to rcSt on high. Thus has passed to the
rest of Gods people one moro witness that
Godcanb be just and the justified of them that
believe in his Son Jesus Christ. "Lct me
die the death of the righteous, and let my last
end be like his" LIS.
After an illness of about II days, MARoA-
RET passed away. Her smiling face is seen
no more in tho family circle, aud her seat in
the house of God is vacant; but she has gone
to fill the place and wear the crown prepared
for all God people. She leaves many friends
is her eternal gain. a few nights before she
diedshe called her parents, brothers and sis
tcrs to her bedside, and told them she be.
lieycd she was going to die i'll few hours and
bid them all farewell. They began to weep
oyerhcr, but, looking around and seeing them
weeping, she told them not to cry after her
when she was gone. for then slIc would be
better off than they. Parents weep not, though
YOU arc bcrenyod of q beloved daughter =.
Brothers and sistcrswecp not, becauscof your
sister being snatched from your number. I'm
clos, Aunta and cousins, weep not for your
departed relative. But remember Deaths
