When Paul was awaiting ftt Athens the arrival of his two, companions, Silas and Timotheus, he rambled through the classic city of Athens, denominated so beautifully “the eye of Greece.” With a taste re fined by ment'al .culture, every object must have charmed him, which exhibited the skill of the artificer. Temples, whose ar chitectural proportions were the most per fect, captivated his visipn; statuary and painting,the most ideal,attracted his ardent gaze and music, whose harmony in upon his senses, made him fancy that he was indeed a denizen in an enchantpd region. : But to contemplate a country with a classical, is far different from re garding it with a Christian eye. A region* which is redolent of natural and artistic beauty, may be sadly deficient in high moral excellence—its atmosphere may be pure in one sense, but laden with pestilent miasma, in another aspect: and so it was in the present instance. The city was not partially idolatrous, -but wholly given to idolatry. And as Paul contemplated its marblp glories, his spirit' was stirred within him to 1 witness its alienation, its entire and unequivocal alienation from God and truth. And when he stood upon the Hill of Marsj in the : full audience of the most learned assemblage ever convened in a In cans, is offered te the irade at the Low, . ket Prices, hy their Sole Agents, WeatM «- ARCRER Sc REEVES • WHOLESALE GBOOERS, ’ N°. 45 North Water St- , and Kfo. 43 ( north Delaware avenue. fe6-tf} EXCHANGE ON EONBQN, FOB SALE In Slims to Suit, by MimEWiT.
