A ocher gem than monarch'a wear--
The tear of gratitude.
But oe'er shall narrow lore at wealth

longing to ' the early dynasties of Manetho,
FOng Shoofho or Cheops. the builder of the
grcat pyramid, being the second king of the
fourth dynasty of Manettro. The time of
Menes Mr. Gliddon supposes was about 2750
years B. C., and all the pyramids of Gheesah
to have been finished between hui reign and
that of the thirteenth dynasty some 2300. i.

The 130 smaller pyramids of Heron and its
vicinity are now ascertained to be of compare

yond the first century B. C.
Ali is estimated that the pyramids of Egypt
contain as great an amount of materials as would
be required to construct all the buildings in the
State.of Pennsylvania. and could hardly have
been erected but for the fact that the inunda
tion!, of the Nile leave the Egyptian people un
employed during 3 month§ of the year.
Mr. Gliddon amounted in this lecture that
the Merophite pyramids were constructed in
that'antelustorical period between the delUge
_and the era of Abraham and Muses. a period of
high civilization and of general peace : that the
country was. near the tune of Abraham. mead
' ed by the Hykshos or Shepherd Kings. from
some region of the East. who ransacked the
tombs and pyramids, and forced the Egyptiani
to the north, who built Thebes as their chief
city. *1 his occurred, it is ascertained, between
tke 13th and 18th dynasties--an uncertain pe
riod. probably a thousand years in which oc
curred the great events connected' with the
abode of the Israelites in Egypt. This is the
debateable ground in chronclugy. Joseph was
prime mini-ter to one of these invading king's.
and when the. Egyptians drove out these for
etgovra there rose up another Pharaoh, who
knew not Joseph. We have clear and authen
tic,history- from the commencement of the 18th
dynasty. say 1722 years before Christ. Then
was erected the famous sphinx—not at the
time of the pyramids, not long after—probably
dei.igned to commemorate the restoration of the
In g-subverted power or the most ancient
EgVpnans. The last of the Memphite pyra
mids was constructed 300 years before Atm
him. 700 before Muse-a. After this restoration.
Thebes towered above Nlemplits,though Mem
phis was still regarded as a second capital, and
the kings were crowned there. But the fact of
the opening and ransacking of the pyramids
induced a total change in the mode of sepulture
and ,hence the excavations and tombs in the
Valley of the Kings. so beautiful, still in per
fect. and adorned with so many important frog.
~,eats of hieroglyphical history. When. a
king ascended the throne, he commenced the
prenaration of his tomb, which in extent cur
responded to the leng.h of his reign, and front
this'ascertained fact in regard to the royal sep

that the size' of the Meinphite pyramids was
to correspondenre 'with the same custom or
kawr. The Greek historians represent thirty
years as the time orcupied in the eonstruettrin

to the incursion of the Ht lislieds, in the 12th or
13th dynasty. was a magnificent palace in
which delegates from the twenty seven depart
ments of Egypt were aerustomed to assemble.
This palace has 3.000 apartments, and was a„
p.dmeal and religious shrine, where the
great festival was celebrated and imperial tr.

The conclusion of this leeiore was an elo

the pyramids. and a vindication of the charge
that they were but monuments of oppression. •

free and civilized race—monuments of art and

His father had ones been a wealthy !whir. but
hi estate was suddenly overwhelmed and
borne away by the meth of an idle speculation.
and. stooping to forgery. he was accidentally
detected and compelled to fly_ immediately if
he would escape with life and his family—a
wife and son. He came to America. and tot
ried himself in a romantic glade of the Wissa

which supplied him with a competence for

haunts that seemed the emerald realm of fairy
wood-nymphs. was born sweet Annie Brad,.
and here, beside the limpid summer streaadet,
was laid the cold body .of her mother in its
chill repose. Philip. resigned to his own wild
inclination, sped away every morn with his
rifle. skiff and hound, upon the Wissahickon.
and the sportive hours soon flitted past him
like some magnificent dream. softly vanishing
from the memory that yet might retain a faint.

pleasure on the rebels, for, he was a staunch
royalist. and persisted. with others, thit the
continentalsq should be ground down till they
proffered allegiance to' the king. Those with
whom his first companionship was made, were
a set of hardened., worthless toties, and they
chose him their leader. He once rescued an
English officer, when hotly chased by, a parti
san band of Americans. and hid him in his
forest home with his sister, and thoughtlessly
left him there when he departed with his free
band. Col. Marston, charmed with the beauty
and simplicity of Annie. wooed her with a ;glee
love.and made her the toy of his passion till
he grew weary of her, then he suddenly left
her. Philip soon encountered him again, and
affecting - a close intimacy with him, pretending
to forget his sister. joined his men with Mars
ton's, and rendezvoused with him in a solitary
mansion on the Schuylkill. - toward which he
was now going.
His steed named on gallantly at thi rowel's
prick. He was a large. beautiful blond bay, of
iron brawn and sinew, with clean glossy flanks.
and ao elegant chest and slender limbs; and
appeared to career along without the least
fatigue.
The sun had set in a lurid glow of glory,
but a small aim storm-cloud was now com

gentry.
Onward it came. sable and surly, like the
foremost crowding legions of an advancing ar
my with a fork of Baring lightning, and a dis
charge of deaf ,nine thunder. buisting ever and
anon from its jet lined body.
The tory maw galloped quickly ahead, but
without any pertuhation, and apparently heed
less and careless of the fearfully pretended
combat.
The wind rushed from forest and plain. dile.

Inured finuament, and catching in the foliage
of the trees as it swept by in a whirlwind, it
bent the broad trunks nearly double like reeds.

A man lived by 14hur ; himself. his wife.
and his tittle ones ; and as he had good health
and strung arms, and easily found employment.
he met with no great difficulty in providing
subsistence for himself and those who were
dear to him.
But it happened that the country experi
enced great commercial difficulties. and the
demand for labor diminished. because it could
no longer be profitably employed. and Mean
while the necessaries of life to-creased in price.
The laborer and his family began to suffer.
Having exhausted his n u merate savings. hs

piece. and then aruc'es of clnthing ; and when
all hail thus gone, having no other resources.
hunger stared him in the face. Nor did Langer
enter his cottage unattended ; sickness came
with it.
Now this man bad two neighbors. the one
very rich. the other less so.
He went to the first, and said : •• We are in
want of the necessaries of life; thyself. my wife
and children ; have pity on u..''
The rich man replied : What can Ido in

but every one must look out fur himself these
hard times ; who knows how long they will

The poor rattier answerminot. but with an
aching heart was slowly returning to his deso
late home. when he met his other neighbor
who was less rich.
The latter, seeing that he was pensive and
sad, thus i aerosted hon: What 19 the matter

and tears in your eyes?'
The father. will a faltenng voice, explained

The sutrenng family was thus sustained un
til they could provide for their own wants.
Alter several years bad passed, the two rich
men appeared towhee defure the m Sovereign
Judge of human arti3ns.
And the Judge said to the first : "My eye

Then, taming to the second, the Judge said
to him : •• Because thou has not been just
