From Henry M. Alden's description of the
(Sacred City of the Hindus wc make these
extracts: '
The Sacred City of the Hindus Is a city so
ancient that its origin is only mythically re
corded. As the rellirious centre of Hinduism, of
Buddhism, and then of Hinduism again, and for
loni period ns n secondary centre 1 islaunsin.
I has influenced the faith of more than half of
he world's population. But numerous conflicts
iiivc almost entirely obliterated its earliest
nonumcnts; and what has not been thus oblitc
atcd has become inextricably confused on ne
ount of the appropriation by one compier'nig
ulth of the religious temple of that which
receded. Hindu writers have done little to
liievc the dillleulties of the nrchu'ologist.
hey have shown u singular neglect of
lironology, and an utter distaste lor noting
yid recording historical facts in a simple
inn
Perm

markalilc when it is remembered that manv ot
ra have been accustomed to close thought.
nd have prided themselves on their intellectual
hcumen; that tliey have originated numerous
ystems of philosophy, and made great preteu
10ns to logical accuracy; and that the habit of
he nation generally, for thousands of years, has
ecn to reverence the pan, and to rclleet upon
nd observe, with punctilious nicetv. its reli-
ious ceremonies and social usages. They pos-
i ssno single record, among the ten thousand
paratc manuscript works of which their ancient
ternture is said to be composed, on the histori-
sil correctness of which one can place much re-
lance. Legendary stories are so intermingled
ivith real eveuts, and the web of the one is so
ntimately inwoven with the woof of the other.
nd the two lorm so homogeneous a whole, that
lie finest microscopic intellects of Europe, after
atient aud- long-coniinued examination, have
een well-nigh bullied in the attempt to discover
vhich is Motion and which is fact. A lew threads
f truth have rewarded their pains, and perhaps
ti few others may occasionally.be drawn forth:

arts Is as hopeless as to expect that the waters
f the Jumna will ever cease to mingle-with the
ivatcrs of the Ganges. The result is, that this
ity of Benares, whose antiquity is very great, is
obbed of much of the glory which is justly
icr due.
The older. temples arc objects of the greatest
cneration, while those recently erected, how
Tcr magnificeut, are shunned by the thirty-six
astes. Every one of these old temples has
ome legend connected with its origin. Some of
hem are decorated with paintings. In the
well of the Trilochan temple is a remarkable
tainting representing the pnuishment of sinners
n hell. In the foreground is the River of
IDcatu. through which persons are seen endea
voring to make their way to the other side,

his punishment is exclusively reserved for
dulterers.
From "The Workiugincn of the Middle Ages,"
y Eugene Lawrence, we quote as follows:
The industrious Arabs revived those useful
rts which the barbarians of Europe seemed
nxious to forget. They wove the richest fabrics
f wool, cotton, or silk; they manufactured cloth
f gold and carpets of unequalled spleudor; their
ivans were covered with satin cushions and
elvet hangings; and muslin and lace of fairv-
(ike texture adorned the Moslem bride. In
metals the Araos were also excellent worKuien.
I They forged huge chains and bars of iron; the
I steel of Damascus was renowned in the cities of
Europe. Their jewelry was the fairest ami cost
liest of the age; they hrvished gold and silver in
decorating their mosques and their palaces; and
their mints produced a coinage that was the
model of the European world. As architects
they invented a strangely graceful style of build
ing, in which the fancy of the artist seemed to
revel in new creations, and of which the lovely
ruins of tho Alhambra form a living example;
in their private houses they gathered the richest
marbles, the costliest mosaics, fountains of
dancing waters, and gardens of perpetual
beauty.
The Arab workman was usually temperate
almost to austerity. Mohammed had enforced
the doctrine of total abstinence with a rigor un
surpassed by the most austere ot modern re
formers. He denounced temporal and eternal
woes against the Mussulman who should touch
(the accursed w ine. He had hini-elf set an ex
ample of perfect abstinence, and in their purer
age his followers obeyed the precept of their
prophet. It wojs only in the decline of the
nation that the Mohammedans learned to imi
tate the drunkenness and license of the Euro
peans. Temperate in their diet, frugal in
their mode ot life, the Arabs possessed sound
intellects iu sound .bodies; they soon began
to display an Intellectual vigor that raised
them to the front of civilization. They eagerly
sought for knowledge amidst the ruins
of Grecian literature, and the poets and philoso
phers of Athens and of Rome were translated
for tho benefit of the students of Bagdad, and
JCrdova. The colleges and schools of the Arab
cities were thronged with ottcutive scholars
when tho great nobles of France uud England
could neither read nor write; they produced
eminent pouts and graceful writers, while Europe
hud neither a literature nor a language; their
libraries numbered thousands of volumes when
Oxford- DosKCSKi-.d onlv a few iimiiTlcct 111:11111-
) scripts chained to the . walls; and the poorest
merchant of Bagdad lived with more comfort
and was far better informed than the proud
knight who came at the head of his barbarous
squadrons to die on the burning plains of Syria
in an lneneciuai crusaue.
The next important class of our benefactors at
this period were the Jews. Despised and re
jected of men, drlved from city to city and from
laud to laud, shut up in foul quarters of the
mediaeval towns, plundered by ruthless barons,
and racked and tortured by infamous kings, the
hapless Israelites, in all their cruel wanderings,
never lost their frugal habits, their painful Tu
duhtry, their commercial order, their probity,
nd their hope. They settled in almost every
and. Tlwy clustered together in the gardens of
Syria, the 'rich cities of Spain, the barbarous
lands of Germany and Muscovy, the dangerous
realms of Richard or Philip Augustus. Every
country and city was bonellted by the presence
of theso Indefatigable laborers. Wherever the
Jew ciiinc lie either brought capital or created
It, He was tho money-lender of Europe before
the Florentine and Venetian bankers
engrossed that gainful trade. He supplied
the means with which merchants made their
purchases, nobles supported their lavish estab
lishments, nnd monarch waged their destructive
wars; and the usurious Interest which heexnetod
for his loans made hlin hated and envied by the
less prudent Christians. Jewish communities
grew up In all tho European cities, distinguished
lrom their barbarous neighbors by the regularity
of their habits, tho purity of their morals, their
learning nnd scholarship, no less than their com
mercial thrift; and when the Semitic Saracens
had sunk into indolence and decay, their rela
tives, the Semctic Hebrews, continued to impart
to Saxons nnd Franks tho higher traits of an
ancient civilization. While Greek and Roman,
Babylonian nnd Carthaginian died out from the
earth, the chosen people still preserved their
mental and mornl vigor.
Yet the most fatal persecutions met them In
every land. They lived amidst sconces of In
tolerable suffering. To rack and torture a Jew
was the favorite employment of mediaeval Chris
tians. To treat him with insult and contempt
was considered a Christian duty. Yet, in spite
of the persecution of their barbarous neighbors,
the Jews grew rich and powerful; their patient
industry conquered at length in the struggle
with feudal cruelty and indolence: their trading
cities on the Rhino and the Moselle became
oguin centres of Intelligence and wealth; Jewish
bankers, merchants, artisans, manufacturers
became the models of those of Italy and Ger
many; and the example of Semitic learning and
intelligence probably aided greatly iu awakening
the intellect of Europe.
The feudal nobles looked with an insane
hatred upon the busy cities of the workingnien,
and constantly labored to destroy their henofuc
tors. They would have been glacl to have swept
them from the earth. Like Commincs, they
could not understand why God permitted labor
ing communities to exist. Froissart rejoiced in
the slaughter of "the low-born peasants" of
Ghent, and lamented that any of them were left.
The Duke of Burgundy loaded the cities with
taxes, which they collected whenever they were
able. They madV every excuse for pillaging and
burning them. The "good" Duke Philip burnt
the rich town of Dinant. and drowned eight hun
dred of its citizens in the river; the bold Charles
made magnificent Liege a fearful solitude. A
warfare almost constant raged tor several centu
ries between the workingnien of Flanders and the
feudal powers n round them. In which the men
of labor were more than a mutch for the men of
the sword in which the long pikes of the trades
men often put to flight great hosts of mail-clad
warriors, and which aided in u great degree to
produce the downfall of chivalry. The example
of (ihent and Bruges everywhere awakened
the self-respect of laboring men. (ihent stood at
the front of European progress. James, and his
son Philip. Van Artevcld awoke a wild enthu
siasm for self-government which was felt in
every land. The Parisian butchers and clothiers
rose" against their king, all Flanders obeyed
Philip, and the people, it is said, adored him as
a god: nobility and royalty began to be looked
upon as badges of infamy; the crimes of kings
and nobles made them hated as murderers and
assassins; and the peasantry of France, in the
rising called the Jaqucrie. said very truly that.
"The nobles of the kingdom of France, knight
and squire,, were a disgrace to it."

This clock is one of the notorieties of the in
terior, though 1 assure you that after looking at
the Cathedral I felt that the machine up iu the
corner was a boy's play concern, and not worth
having its name shed abroad through all the
world. It came right for me to be there at noou.
when the principal performance of the clock
comes off. And there must have been two hun
dred more at the same time to see the same
thing, the majority of them boys and loafers
from the street of Strasburg. At twelve o'clock
precisely the machinery began to move a little
boy angel seated some six or eight feet up on
the clock (for the concern reaches almost to the
roof of the building) struck a bell, then a
similar little angel turned an hour-glass !
which he holds forever and ever In his hands
(and turns every hour iu fact), then three
or four figures higher up. which appear
to be -si foot or a foot and a half long, :uul repre
sent childhood, youth, and old age, march out
in succession in front of an old skeleton of
Father Time, or Death, and as each one passes
the old chap he strikes a bell fixed there, and
at 111c same time ueaiu uimscii siriKcs tne neu
with a human bone that lie holds in his hand;
then, higher up still, twelve other figures, re
presenting the twelve Apostles, march around in
succession before a figure of Christ, and turn
ing, salute him, Christ at the same time lifting
his hand in benediction over the head of each
oue. and, to crown all. three or four times dur
ing this complex operation a rooster (more ele
gantly called cock ), as large as life, and stand
ing on the very top of the clock, lifts his wings
and crows with exceeding naturalness, and with
a voice that fills the w hole cathedral and adds
great solemnity to divine service. I should say.
when he and the priest happen to be both 111
exercise at the, same time.
All of these many figures move with the
ugularity of machine work, and are highly
puppet-like, and I should like to take a crowd of
toys to see it, because it is curious and funny,
tut aside from a certain solemnity like that
which attends any measured marking of the
eternal How of time (like the slow ticking of a
clock in a still house, or the stroke of the hours
by night in the resounding bell tower), there is
nothing impressive iu the renowned Strasburgh
clock, and in. 11 great cathedral, one solitary
de p-oiccd bell to announce the hours and the
quarters would speak more than all the angels,
bones, apostles, and roosters put together.
Tim spire ot the cathedral is the highest in
the world (408 teet). but it does not appear so,
and if you were told that it was only -i'M feet
hiLrh, you would easily enough believe it. But
oh ! the work laid out on that spire. There is no
end to it, and it would take all day to study it
out, and then you would not get it all, partly
because the bulk of it is so far away from you.
Aioiind the solid spire there is wovcu a beautiful.
01 en network ot stone, and there are statues
and nue.-triaii forms, and animals and gro
tesques, and stone allegories, and stone poems,
and stone history, and stone conceits, and stone
ro-cites, and arabesques, as though the brain of
the architect had become suddenly alive with
curious and beautiful things which Hocked out
of him like ants out of a hill, and took their
places by the tens of thousands in spire and
lorm iincf then were turned suddenly into stone,
and lixed forever, for the amazement of all
generations. In this description I include the
whole front clear to the pavement, tor In the
outer arch of the door at the foot of the spire
there is carving enough, representations of
Scriptural subjects, for an hour's study. I did
not climb that 4bS feet, but contented myself
with standing on the opposite side of the square
and muking out what 1 could of the intricate
and beautiful work with my field-glass for
Strasburg has the decency not to crowd her
cathedral, but gives it space to show itself lu
its full glory. Cor. of Hartford J'oM.
