MYSTERY OF THE PYRAMIDS.
Many Theories Regarding the object OF
the Vast Egyptian structures.

Why the pyramids were built has al.
ways proved to be a perpleNing ques-
ton. For some reason the builders OF
the pyramids Of Egypt appear to have
concealed the object of these structures,
and this so successfully, according to
the Brooklyn Eagle, that not even ira
dition has reached Us which purports to
have been handed down from the date
of their construction. Including ancient
and modern theories we find wide
range of choice. Some have thought
that these buildings were associated
with the religion of the early Egyptians;
others nave suggested that they were
tombs; others that they combined the
purposes of tombs and temples, that they
were astronomical ohseryatoTies, de-
lenses against the sands of the Great
Desert. granaries like those made under
Joseph's direction, or places of resort
during excessive ovcrtloWs of the Nile,
while Aristotle says that the work was
set on foot to keep the common people
well employed and busy in earning their
daily bread So that they should have no
leisure for c0nspiling against their
rulers.
According TO the late Professor Proc
tor, none OF these ideas j. found on close
examination 10 be tenable ~ represents
ing the soc purpose OF the pyramids,
and he sagE ,tcd that they must have
been intended To serve some useful pur-
pose during the lifetime of the builder,
and that they were built by each differ

At the self game place for days. In tn. tkles

Fer he earlier knocks ut the orients gates
And longer and longer away from us bars
with days sweet light, the CLEAN OF the stars.
The turn of the year. and the white drifts lie
Deep IN the fields, while sad winds wall by.
Aud the clouds are heavy, the twilight's aim.
And the ieaiess woods land. stork and grim.
Weighted with snow falls. Who had guessed
II was here the wild bird had its nest!
The turn of the year! Do the grassroots thrill
Does prescience quicken the dAffodl!
In the dark and the cold, do the lilies know
And the roses guess, with deepening glow:
Does the sap in the willows and naples STIR:
To the shiyering elms comes no messenger
To saw IS they wait blythe rivers brink

For the heart of her gladness ALREADY Is here.
Her tenderness hides in the skies, unconfessed,
Thc shine of her hsrvests is now in the west.

Or who Gets with doubling Gods marvellous

We doubt il any school girl essay has
ever been written that excelled in poesy,
the recent inaugural address Of Governor
O. Farrall Of Virginia. He describes 10
the following picturesque language the civ
liking march of railroad construction.
"They lead in the march of progress,
tunnelling mountains, bridging gulches,
spanning streams, penetrating new and un-
Inhabited regions, changing the wilderness
into sni ing farms and even the barren
plain into verdant fields, building homes
and giving employment to almost countless
thousands. In their track, plenty abounds
turns up fthe virgin soil, 81 long trodden
by the native buffalo the voices of the ar
tisan and mechanic are heard where that Of
the wild beast so long sounded defiance to
the distusber of his lair or den; the smoke
of civil cation ascends to the clouds, and
meets the morning sun in his rising glory
and bedims the moon in her silver flight,
where from the time the stars sang together,
at tie birth of creation, they shone BY day
and by night, unobscured by even the ex-
halation from burning BUSH"
1t is, however, in dealing with anarchical
elements Of society that the Governor rises
to Olympic heights declaring that:
"Whenever dangerous fanaticism rears
its head whenever communion comes forth
from its hiding place; whenever anarchism
rushes out from its dark den with its fam
ing eyes and sulphurous odor; whenever
heresies or fallscies which threaten the
woof and web of our institutions appear
with their painted skio, plausible face,
and infinuating manner, y then toll
Grafton to the wind. Then strike with the
courage that duty begets; strike with the
resolution that patriotic fervor gives; strike
with the fire that love of home and native
land kindles; strike. strike, and ask no or
nament for your sword but the notches on
the blade. These sentiments are the senti-
ments Of Virginia; my words are the words
Of all true virginians."
Tears blind our eyes. We can read no
further. Wow. p
