Oldest City in the World.

Damascus is the oldest city in, the
world. Tyre and Si,lon have crum-
bled on the shore; Baalbec is a ruin;
Palmyra is buried ina desert; Nine
veh and Babylon have disappeared
from the Tigris and the EuphrateS.
Damascus remains what 1t was before
the days of Abraham-a center Of
trade and trayel-an isle Overdue in
the desert; presidential = capital"
with martial and sacred associations
extending through thirty centuries
1t was near Damascus that Saul Of
Tarsus saw the light above the bright
ness of the sun; the street which is
called Strait, in which 1t was said che
prayed" srlll runs through the city.
The cravan comes and goes as it did
thousand years ago; there is still
the shcik, the ass, and the water
wheel; the merchants of the Euph-
rates and the Mediterranean still ool
cupy these "with the multitude Of
their wares" The city which Ma
homet surveyed from a neighboring
height, and was afraid to enter, "be-
cause it was given to man to have
but one paradise, and for his part he
was resolved not to have it in this
world" is to-day what Julian called
the "eye of the East" as it was in
the time Of Isaiah, "the head Of
Syria" A4'f4 'at 'a'4a f2l d.
From Damascus came the damson,
our blue plums, and the delicious
apricot of Portugal, called damasco;
damask, our beautiful frabric, OF cot
ton and silk, with vines, aud flowers
raised mp on a smooth, bright ground;
the damask rose introduced INTO Eng
land in the time of Henry WIZ, the
Damascus blade, SO famous the world
over for its keen edge and wonderful
elasticity, the secret Of whose manu-
facture was lost when Tamerlane car
ried the artist into Persia. and that
beautiful art of inlaying wood and
steel with gold and silver, kind Of
mosaic, engraving and sculpture
united called damaskceiing--with
which boxes, bureaus, and swords are
ornamented 1t is still a city of
flowers and bright waters; the streams
of Lebanon and the lHsilk Of gold''
still murmur and sparkle in the Wild
erness Of the Syrian gardeps,- Elk,
