The Temnle Of Diana.

This was built, as Pliny says, on q
soft foundation to guard against the
shocks of earthquakes. The founda-
tion, therefore, was laid in q swamp,
wood and charcoal were interposed to
absorb the wet, and the arches form
subterraneaa labyrinth, in which water
stagnates, all of which is so at the pres
ent day. The superstructure bears all
the evidences of an ediice which was
destroyed eight times, and took $50
years in building and rebuilding. 1t
now consists of several walls of immense
blocks of marble, the fronts of which
are perforated with small cavities, into
which were sunk the shsnks of the
brass and silver plates, with which the
walls were faced. In several places
where the walls have fallen, they have
exposed cornices and holdings of a
former edifce, against which the new
walls had been built up. Some of the
vast porphyry pillars which formed the
front portico still lie PROSTATE before it !;
but others were brought by Constan
tine to his new city of Constantinople.
The heathen temple was dilapidated to
build the Christian church of st. So
phia, in which these pillars are again
become the great support of an anti
Christian edifice. But the most inter
esting circumstance of the building to
me is the great illustration it gives to
the acts of the apostles. Here is the
place where st. Paul excited the COM
motion among the silver. and brass
rmiths who worked for the temple; and
over the way was the theater, into
which the people rushed, carrying with
them Gaius and Aristarchus, Paups
companions. Hence they had full
view of the magnificent front of the
temple, which they pointed out as that
which all Asia worshipeth' and in
their enthusiasm they cried out, " Great
is Diana of the Ephesiansl" to whom
such a temple belonged. -.

Opposition to EARLY Railroads.

When the Central Railroad was in its
infancy, the company experienced
great trouble with certain landowners,
whose property had been taken by ap-
praisal, at or near Tribes Hill It was
with great difficulty that trains could
pass, although vigilant watch was
kept up. Men were stationed with
hand-car just east of the curve leading
into Tribes Hill from the east, and,
when they heard the evening train
coming west, they would put on the
hand-car just as near ahead of the train
as they dared, and run ahead of the
train into the station; but between the
hand-car and the train the track would
be literally strewn with stones, rails,
ahd all manner of distinctions, which
were thrown down from the heights
above, so that the train would have to
stop to clear the track leach train car
ried men for that purpose), and then
proceed at a snaips pace into the station.
Then again the tracks would be piled
with huge heaps of straw, and the en-
gineer would stop and find nothing but
straw. 1t was usually thought that the
straw business was only a scare, but
about the first time he attempted to run
through without stopping he found
huge bowlder in the center. Tins mat
ters went on from bad to worse; an at
tempt was made to burn one of the
company's bridges near this village.
This was SO highly criminal, and it was
made SO hot for some persons, that hos
tilities ceased. Upon one occasion,
George Cox, who, with his brothers,
Tom and Maxwell, were well known up
and down the valley as locomotive en-
gineers, was watching the track near
Tribes Hill with shot gun, with in
structions to shoot the first man he saw
placing any distractions on the track.
It was quite dark, and at a short dis
tance from him he saw two men carry
something large and heavy and place it
on the track. His first impulse was to
shoot, and he hauled up, but he hated
to take human life, and thought he
would steal upon them and see who
they were. He did SO, and found that
they were two travellers who had come
from the canal with their chest to take
the train, and, being tired, had set it
down to rest..-Anlsterdam On. -

I Albert GaIIatin,

1t is probably impossible to discover
in the history Of this country any states
man who has left behind him reputa-
ton so poorly preportioned to his
ability and influence as has. Albert Gal
latin. Not especially attractive in life,
he remains singularly uninteresting
since his death. A chapter in Mr..
Adams book concerning his youth fails
to introduce him in an agreeable light.
Enjoying every advantage which the
best social position, an excellent edu-
cation, and family only too kind could
give, he yet chose at an early age to run
away. This venture, if not altogether
without an object, was at least devoid
of any sufficient cause or excuse. He
was evidently soon ashamed of it; but,
as is the freakish habit of poor human
nature in such circumstances, he visited
the punishment for his folly upon the
relatives whom he had injured rather
than upon himself, neglecting to send
the simplest information concerning
his fortunes to those who never ceased
to manifest soicitude as tender as it
was undeserved concerning these mat
ters. This coldness of nature never
wore of throughout his long life. The
only evidence of warmth of feeling
which we ever find in him was shown
toward his second wife, who seems to
have made his home thoroughly happy
and attractive. In this respect, as in
SO many others, he offers striking con-
trast to Hamilton, with whom it is inn
possible not to compare him. Both
landed as strangers upon our shores.
In less than year after he arrived in
New York, Hamilton had made more
and warmer friends then Gallatin ever
secured throughout his life, long, useful
and honorable as it was. And, as years
went on, Hamilton constantly and
largely increased the number Of those
who, apart from their political faith in
him, dearly loved the man. Gallatin
never had SO much as the nucleus of q
personal following. People met him as
he met them, with much temperateness
both in affection and in hatred. In an
age of vituperation he seldom used
those potent epithets of abuse for
which his contemporaries must have
ransacked the dictionaries and synonym
books; in return he enjoyed an e1cep-
tional freedom from the more scurrilous
personalities then in vogue.-Atlaaatic
