A Buried Town In Honduras Near the
Guatamala Line.
You we're doubtless taught that st
Augustine, Fla, is the oldest city in
America, and so far as settlements By
Europeans are concerned. that is prob.
ably correct. but scientists know Of a
city so old that there is no telling when
it was built, and they often speak Of It
as the oldest city in America" This
"city''is Copan. buried in the forests
OF Honduras. near the Guatemala boun-
dairy line. 1t is not a city in the mod
ern sense Of the word. for it is only
a heap of ruins. but there Is enough
to show that at some time centuries
and centuries ago it was a busy center
of population. Then the Maya In
dians OF Yucatan and Central America
were at the height OF their civilization
They built cities By constructing the
bases Of great pyramids out Of blocks
Of stone Of enormous size. These blocks
were taken from quarries some times
two miles distant. were conveyed to

perfect order. and yet Il Is not known
that the Mayas had any machinery for
handling such heavy material Tho
pyramidal base Of Copan is built up
TO considerable height, and upon the
fiat top are placed the palaces, the all
tars - other smaller pyramids. From
all evidence Copan was in ruins when
Cortez conquered Mexico In 1921 The
Spaniard and his soldiers passed with
in a short distance of it and did not
see the town at all. so IL must have
been deserted even then. And yet the
ruins Of Copan bear evidence OF having
lain there. buried amid the luxuriant
foliage Of Honduras. for ages. and only
some crude inscriptions on the rocks
can give a clew to the history of the
wonderful place. These inscriptions
and carvings still defy solution. There
are statues and images made Of rock.
but they are meaningless Copan's s
history is unknown, and so scientists
are wont to speak Of it as the oldest
city in America. Chicago Record

D1 MARY lNiy Clfll
Sometime when ali iifes lessons have been learned
And and stars forevernore have set
The things which our weak judgments here have spui
The things DER which We grieved with lashes wet,
VIII flash before us out of fes dark night
AS stars shine most IN deeper tints OF blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans are right
And how what seem reproof was love most true.
And We shall see how. while We frown and sigh,
Gods plans 60 on as best for YOU and me;
How, when called, lie needed not our cry,
Because His wisdom TO the end could see
And even as wise parents disalow
Too much of sweet TO craving babyhood
So God perhaps, is keeping from us now
Lfe's sweetest things because it seemeth good.
And it. sometimes, commingled with lfes wine,
We find the NORWOOD and repel and shrink
BE a wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this portion for orr lips to drink.
And if some friend we love is lying low
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh, do not blame the loving Father So
But wear your sorrow with obedient grace
And YOU shall shortly know that heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friend,
And that, sometimes the sable pail of death
Conceals the fairest boon His love can send.
If we could push aar the gates of life,
And stand within. and all Gods working see
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find keyl
But not to-day Then be content poor heartl
Gods plans like lilies pure and white unfold
We must not tear the closeshut leaves apart
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold
And IT, through patient toll we reach the land
Where tired feet, with sandals oosed, may rest,
When we shall clearly and understand
think we shall say God knows the bestl
