of high cosmioal power, of the rarsst beauty OF
thought and felicity Of expression. Of astronomi.

merit every intellectual throb Of tho combined
ancient civilizations. A mountain Of intel.

that has been exhibited by any of the civiliza.

power by Homer's Had, Greek dramatic power
by IEschylus and Sopohocles, and English by
Shakespeare. What shall be said Of the Cushitc
Arabian mind that produced. and Of the people
who preserved the book of JobY Where have
its idyllic beauty, Craze aud power ever been
surpassed? What ancient work on the ethical
relations Of man towards his Greater has more
elevating, enobling thoughts than this from the
people of whom the phDnicians were family ?
When viewed merely in the dram tical treasures

Robert u. Walkers Duel.

his adversary.
Be that as it might, the doctor accepted the

The doctor caused it to be bruited abroad that
he practioed every day in savannah, few
miles from the town where both resided. Piqued
with curiosity, Mr.. Walker allowed himself to be
persuaded to visit the spot surreptitiously, and
view tho achievements of his antagonist. Not 80
surreptitiously, however, that DR.. Gwln was not
aware whose prying eyes were fixed upon his
movements.
