Will 1t CrNlnblc and Decay?-Iho age Ol
Miracles Not Yet Passed Away.
This relic of antiquity and Of civilization
as old nearly as the eternal hills, now
stands out in Central Park shorn of its on
numbering tackle, an ornament and monu-
ment Of which every New Yorker will be
proud. Since the monolith has been III
New York the "croakers' have, with their
usual industry. commenced to prophesy its
destruction by stress of weather. They
say that the shaft cannot stand this climate;
that by reason of peculiar atmospheric con-
ditions, radically different from those OK
listing in the climate of Egypt, the stone
will crumble and decay. Well, oil things
have q limit. Mutability is written
everywhere. But there does not seem to
be any cause to fear the immediate decay
of the monolith. 1t will probably stand in
Central Park for the next two thousand
years or so, which is certainly all that could
be desired by the present generation.
While, however, Cleopatra's Needle may
stand the rigors of this climate untouched
for thousands of years, the human form is
smitten by the vicissitudes Of temperature
which prevail hereabout and it is stated
that physicians in New York have their
hands full in attending the sick and suffer-
ing. The Obelisk is grand gift of the
oldest TO the newest and best civilization.
But the gift of healing is Of more
Importance to tue people just now.

Mr.. Eugle's store and bought three bottles,
