BER,RE ABRAHAM TT WAS

BEFORE ABRAHAM IT Was
Uz, the grandson of Noah, with a
world Unsuitable material at hand,
founded the oldest city in the
world Damascus. Because of
Usage it has an especial interest
for the antiquary. Says one:
The early history of Damascus
is slirouded in the hoary mists of
antiquity. Leave the matters
written Of it in the first eleven
chapters of the Old Testament out
and NO recorded event has occur
red in the whole but Damascus
was in existence to receive it
Go back as far as you will into
the vague past, there was always
a Damascus. In the writings of
every country for more than four
thousand years its name has been
menti,ned and it's praises sung.
To Damascus, years are only mo-
melts decades only fitting tribes
Oftime. She measures time not
by days aud months and years,
but b. the empires she has seen
rise aud prosper and crumble to
ruin. She is type of immortali-
ty. She saw the foundation of
Baall,ee and Thebes and Ephesus
laid; she saw them grow into
mighty cities and amaze the world
with their grandeur, and she has
lived to see them desolate, desert
ed ard given up to the owls and
the bats She saw the Israelitish
empire exalted, and she saw it
annillilated. She saw Greece rise
and flourish for two thousand
years, and die. In her old age
she saw Rome built; she saw it
oversihadow the world with its
powtr; she saw it perish. The
few hundreds Of years Of Genoese
and Venetian might and splendor
were too grave, old Damascus only
asseintllation hardly worth re-
men bering. Damascus has seen
all That has occurred on earth, and
still lives. She has looked upon
the dry bones of a thousand en-
pires, and she win live to see the
tomb of q thousand more before
she dies. Though another claim
the name, old Damascus is by
, right the Eternal City.
