BABYLON.

The walls of Babylon were 81 feet
in breadth, $50 feet high, and 60 miles
in circumference. The foundation and
of this wonder Of the
world are enveloped in obscurity. 1t
is difficult, ON this subject, TO reeon-
Gle the accounts of sacred and pro-
fame history. The most probable
opinion, however, is that Nimrod
founded it and Belus enlarged 1t;
that Scniramis adorned it with beauti-
full buildings, and that Ncbuchadnez-
zar the Great raised it to its perfect
state of astonishing magnificenco.
The reduction of Babylon by Cyrus
fulfilled the prophecies which Isaiah,
Jeremiah, and Daniel had been in-
spircd TO dcnouncc aginst that impe1i-
Gus city The hand of the Almighty
was no less visible in the demolition
of Babylon than on the wall on which
the memorable sentence of destruction
was engraved against her unfortunate
monarch, BelshaZzar. In tracing the
great DEGREES of Providence which arc
used as the instruments of Almighty
power, we may remark that the wa
ters OF the Euphrates, which had been
diverted to open a passage to the
troops of Cyrus, We're suffered to over
flow the whole country, and reduce
it to morass.
The bricks which formed the ma
terials of the celebrated walls and
palaces of Babylon were made of clay,
mixed with straw, and dried ia The
sum. Wanting the tirmncss of cohc-
sion, their surface was continually H.
able to be diminished by the heavy
rains, till, at length, being suffered to
decay, they were totally reduced to
mud, and swept away by the violence
of the torrent. So complete Is the de-
struction of this once wonderful city,
and so literally were the prophecies
respecting it fulfilled, that the opinions
on its situation are founded on vague,
fanciful, and useless conjectures,

of one whose presence had made those
scenes radiant with joy. Scarcely
year ago. happy bride, she left her
fathers home to dwell with one whom
she loved with all a woman's devotion,
Friends gathered round to congratn-
late her on her happiness, but ere their
congratulations were over sorrow had
taken the place of joy. The idolized
husband was suddenly called from
earth TO that unseen country from
whose bourne NJ traveller ever returns.
Bowed down with the weight of her
SORROWS, she refused to leave the place
hallowed by 50 many tender associa-
tions, but sought in solitude the COM
fort she so much needed. Then came
intelligence of her mothers sickness
how day after day she was pining
away, longing for the soothing care,
the loving tones, of her first-born, her
only daughter. Duty bade her leave
the place where no ties bound her save
those of recollection, and hasten to
her childhood home to minister to the
wants of an invalid mother. And now
she was almost there Home! she
felt that it would never again be home
to her, and bitterly she wept, for her
heart was far away. Frail mourning
one, hast thou not learned that this is
not our rest that here we have no
abiding city, but our home is above!
Lay up thy treasure there, and seek
not in earths troubled waters that
peace which foweth only from the
purer springs of life eternal. ..
Almost home so are we all-yet
