decay; Carthage is now but a limping
memory of the gorgeous splendor of
CleOpatra's reign; glorious Athens of
the past now rests silent and sad
among the Grecian ruins, monuments
of architectural beauty laid low by the
ravages of time; and the Egypt of the
Pharaohs has passed under the rule of
the barbarian Thug time levels all,
but the works of man shall proclaim
his worth and shall measure the scope
of his attainments. In our own day
We behold the handiwork of man. in a
markedly rising grade, advancing to-
ward the pinnacle of perfection. Wit
