THE LOST ARTS.

A great deal of nonsense has been written by magazine writers about wonderful arts which perished with the ancients. To trust in these lamentations of these wise acres over the "lOst arts" one would think we had fallen upon very degenerate times indeed But none of the dOleful stories are true. Cleopatra, no doubt, was very fine woman, but she never dissolved pearls in wine. Archimedes was great man in his day, but he never set fire to the Roman ships with burning-glasses as the fable re- lates. The ancients had no arts which we do not understand better and practice more skillfvlly than they did. The humbl st Yankee mechanic could teach the polished Greek or cunning Egyptian sciences and arts of which they never dreamed. The an cients did many wonderful things which have not been repeated, but they are only such things as are not worth doing over again. If we had occasion to build such a foolish thing as a pyramid, we should i'm prove on their model in every respect, and instead of keeping 10000 half-starved slaves at work for twenty years, we should turn it out finished in as many months. If any people nowadays lived as the ancients did, they would be objects for sincere pity, andit would be our duty speedily to send mission ariee among them. What lamentable sight would be a nation of great mental vi- gor, half clothed and poorly fed, tilling the earth with wooden blows, without soap, pins friction matches, or India rubber! How queeuly would one of our factory girls ap- pear to them. How magical the art of the clockmaker! Beggars nowadays, with re- gard to the substantial comforts of life, fare better than ancient kings.
