And o you whose eyes shall fall upon

they lie before you-an undiscovered land
wherein you are free TO travel!
Harmachis speaks to you from his forgot
ten tomb. The walls Of Time fall down,
and Is at the lightning's leap picture
from the past starts suddenly on your view,
framed in the gathered darkness OF the
ages.
He shows you those two Egypts that the
silent pyramids looked down upon long
centuries ago-the Egypt Of the Greek, the
Roman. and the Ptolemy, aud that other
outworn Egypt Of the hierophant. hoary
with years, heavy with the legends Of
antiquity and the memory Of long-lost
honors.
He tells you how the smoldcrin9 loyalty
Of Khem Egypt burnt up before it died,
and how ficrccly the old Timc-consecra,ed
Faith struggled against the conqucring
tide OF Change. that, drawn ever by the
mystery Of Mind. rose like the Nile Ut flood,
and drowned the ancient gods Of Egypt.
Here. in his pages. you shall learn the
glory Of Isis the Many-shaped, the Execu-

empires. Here you shall read how the soul
Of Charmi0n was slain Of the sword her

Hero Harmachis. the doomed Egyptian,
being about to die, salutes you who follow
on the path he trod. In the story Of his
broken years he shows TO you what may in
its own degree be the story Of your own.
Crying aloud from that dim Amenti where
to-day he wears out his long atoning time,
in the history Of his fall. he tells the fate Of
him who, however sorely tried, forgcts his
God, his honor, and his country.
