Description Of the Ruins of the Ancient
Damascene City.

Description of the Ruins of the Ancient
Damascene City.
The ruins of the ancient city of Baal
bee. situated on the plain forty-three
miles northwest of Damascus, are the
wonder of modern architects.
Everything is colossal The area is
larger than that of the temple at Jeru-
salem. We may begin with the walls.
which are half a mile around, and of
such height and depth as are rarely at
tanned in the most tremendous fortress.
Where from within l climbed to the
top, it made me giddy to look over the
perilous edge to the depth below; and
when from without the walls looked
up at them, they rose high in the air.
Some of the stones seem as if they had
been reared in place, not by Titans, but
by the gods. There are nine stones
thirty feet long and ten feet thick,
which is larger than the foundation
stones of the temple at Jerusalem,
dating from the time of Solomon, or
any blocks in the great Pyramid.
But even these are pygmies compared
with the three giants of the western
wall. sixty-two feet, sixty-three and a
half feet, sixty-four feet long. These
are said to be the largest stones ever
used in any construction. They weigh
hundreds of tons. and instead of being
merely hewn out of quarry, which
might have been on the site, and left to
lie where they were before. they have
been lifted nineteen feet from the
ground, and there embedded in the wall.
Never was there such cyclopean archi-
lecture. How such masses could have
been moved is problem with modern
engineers.
Sir Charles Wilson, whom l met in
Jerusalem. is at this moment in Baal-
bee. Standing in the grounds of the
temple. he tells me that in the British
Museum there is an ancient tablet
which reveals the way such stones were
moved. The mechanics were very SIM
pie: rollers were put under them, and
they were drawn up inclined planes by
sheer human muscle-the united
strength of great numbers of men. In
the rude design on the tablet the whole
scene is pictured to the eve.
There are battalions of men, hun
dreds to single roller, with the task
masters standing over them. lash in
hand, which was freely applied to make
them pull together, and the king sitting
on high to give the signal for this put
ting forth of human strength en- masse
as if an army were moving to battle.
A battle it was in the waste of human
life it caused. These temples of Baal-
bee must have been whole generation
in building, and have consumed the
population of province and the wealth
of an empire.-Rer. Henry M. Field, in
ECanQelist.

NO MORE TO ME.

Alone and silent sit in my room,
When the garish light has fed,
And wait to hear, through the gathering
gloom,
The footsteps of the dead.
But no sound hear. and no sight see,
For my love comes back no more to me.
How soft the light of her tender eyes,
AS she smiled in her sad, sweet way:
As we stood beneath the glowing skies
At the close of that blissful day.
That smile, when / close my eyes, j see.
But my love Genes back no more to me.
Too fond for kisses or warm embrace,
What could we do but stand,
And give and take, with tender grace,
The thrill of a clasping hand?
That hand no more In mine shall be.
For my love comes back no more to me.
II love and pity go hand I'm hand,
How quickly they may learn
What grief remains for those who stand,
And wait their loves return.
That grief in my heart must always be,
For my love comes back no more to me.

After few moments watching from

wet bank. After settling herself, the
dirt-dobber took piece of earth with
her feelers, or hands, and rolled it into

quite as smooth and round. Taking
this ball between her jaws, she flew
away with it.

then she began work on another cell
by laying the ball of earth close to the
side of the closed one, and then with

noise as she did so. Having worked up
