Our age, its wonders and improvementeare the standing theme. They are like the man whom Coleridge mentions as taking off his bat with respect when speaking of himself. The ago vaunts much of its richiev ments in science and literature ; and yct in these very boasts have been outdone ages sinee,'hy na tions now peened sway. Every new development of science, t very new research throwing light upon the arts of the ancients, prove them to have been in possession of many now entirely lost, and that they performed wonders which we not only do not equal, but cannot even perceive how they were petfurnted. Even on the hitherto accounted new world, like Robinson Cr usoe on his island, we have discovered its the Ruins of Central America, the foot-prints of a nation lung sunk into oblivion. These, traces show that they, too, Ike the people of the East., were in possession of arts now lost. These arts can be considered under four divisions —Class, Colors, Metals, and then miscellaneous ankles and facts. lit. Mass.—This was for a long time believed to be a modern invention. Within fifty years, four quarto volumes Were written in Italy, to prove —in opposition to the assertion of Pliny—that the article was unknown to the ancients; and on the very day that these velumes were published. a ware-house was opened in Pompeii, filled with cut, wrought, pressed, and stained glass, far more beautiful and perfect than are now manufactured. There is glass found; too, among the remains of Central America. In the Museum of Florence, I have seen a piece of glass, which was lung sup posed to be a gem, an inch square by it quarter of an inch thick, on which was repreWented bads which could •be seen equally well on both sides, and their plumage so perfect that the microscope shows in . it no fault or wain of finish ; and though it is apparently a mosaic, it is impossible io detect where 'or how it 14 put together. The art of ma king them so is not now known, and we cannot even imagine bow it could be done. • Pliny tells of a drinking glass which could be folded up so as to occupy a small space. and which was destroyed and its construction kept a 'secret by its inventor, because his monarch would not offer him what he considered a sufficient sum for its invention, The moderns veil; all thtir semi-cannot equal the beau tiful stained glass of, the middle ages, inferiorwa . this was to that of Egypt. Colors.—ln these the ancients certainly far sur passed the moderns. Sir Humphrey Davy made many efforts to analyze the celebrated Trish pur ple al the East; but these efforta were without cocas , . lie declared he could not - discover of what it was compbeetd. The Naples yellow, too, though less known; was much used, and the sit of making it is now entirely gone: The Tyrian pur ple is the color of many houses of Pompeii, and, they look as fresh as if just painted. The colors of Titian ate as vivid and beautiful as 'when first Lid .on by, the artist, while these of Sir Joshua Reynolds already look chalky and dead. And Sir Joshua himself confer sed,after making it a study of his life, that be bid never been able to discover how Raphael and the other great artists had been able to preserve the brightness and beauty of their paintings. But if we marvel at these owlets, three centuries bark, what shall we say to those paint. ings found in the tombs of Egypt:more than twe 'thousand years old, and yet kept fresh and bright, though- buried for that time bet:teeth ilia around in the damp, dark caves of the East. The.very wife of Solomon is found here, just u she was painted oo the eye of her departure from her father's home to share the throne of Judea, and not only is -the color of her garments preserved, but the bloom.is still on hie cheeks and lips, and the lustre in her eye eVeliffil it was then. fliers are paintings, too, C3cwo of pociii): I'd have thee mine To cheer my youthful steps along life's way— To share my triumph in the world's wide field— To cure my griefs when wounded in the fray; 'And nerve my spirit. if it stooped to yield.

Science and 'art LOST ARTS °By Wendell Phillips as far back as the time of Moe'.; a portrait sup. potied to be of Niro, the lime who drove the 114 egelites into the Red Smi ; and even the colors of this are perfectly preserved. Ale(als —.Of the ,use of thew., the Scriptures make very early mention.. hi the duo of Moses, gold is spoken of as pot. and sometimes kept in a liquid state ; while it is beyond our art to re duce it to a powder. The corners of the stones of the*Pyramida are so sharp os to break the skin of the hand when passed over'. them, and so hard uto realm the sharpest ateel. • The French found restdifficully -in--carving two lines upon this obelisk now in La Place ConcOrdet yet the ancients bid covered all the recedes with figures. According to history, they bed an art, now lost, of making copper (one of the softest of all metals) harder than steel, and it was of this they made their tools. The famous Delhi Blades, as it is well known, are unrivalled. They would cut Off the heads of a row of hob-nails, placed one after thq other, without dulling their edge ; and were yetao pliable that the point could be made to touch the handle. Then the 'warrior, too im patient to wait for" his sword to be cooled in the usual Way, snatched it red hot. and waving it in the air thus gave it its temper.• They tried in Paris lately, thus to jemper steel, but Without/oc curs. Scott given a description of the sword of Richard, which cut down steel with the same facility. The cannons of the British in India, it is well known reion becomel honeycombed by the dampness of the dew so as to be totally useless in war. The lines of Byron, on the rust upon the steel of the warriors, are according-to troth, though that warrior hard lain Wit one night beneath the open sky. Necessity had been tope East Indian the mother of invention. He will lake the cast off hoop of an Engl ah cask, and make of it a sword ,equal to the best Parisian blade. The 'liability of the steel of the ancients was wonderful, but that of their bronze was more so. Gems of the Ancient's, their Cameos, 4-e.— The imitation, of gems is truly wonderful. • In stance is cited of a vase preserved in • church at Genoa, believed since the middle ages to bee pure emerald; declared by the.priests to have been presented by, thiQueen of Sheba to Solomon ,and to have limn the very vase from which Christ drank at the wedding in Gallilee; held in such venom.: tion that all were forbidden to touch it on the' penalty of death. He mentioned one who jiht escaped , this penalty, for trying to touch it with • diamond. • Coming near to it as ho diil, he thought Lo perceived bubbles in it which proved to have.been glass. This vase in.the time of Bona parte, was removed from the church in Genoa, to the museum in Paris. and there was subject to ap examination, which proved it to be • false geM. It has since been returned to its place; but still it is by the priests, declared to bop] emerald, and the vase preiented so Solomon and used by our Saviour. The full beauty and per. fection of many gems in the Museums of Italy, can only be seen by the aid of a glair, and one is therefore handed to the traveller at the door. So that the ancients mast have known and used the microscope, else how',could they have done work which cannot be seen without its aid. There is evidence too, of their use of the tole scope; they are said to have,seen ships at.a great distance by the aid of an instrument, and witl.out such aid itlis impossible to conceive how the sr. tronomers of Babylon. could have gained their ex tensive htiowledge of the stare. The stories of Herodotushave been deemed so incredible that he has been deemed the father of lies, in contradis. tinction to the father of history. Yet science has discovered many of the stories to be not only pos sible, but probable. For instance, the story of Archimedes hissing set fire by means of a glass to the enemy's fleet lying at a great distance. has not only been proved by actual experiment probable, but that the result . must have followed from the observance of the condition eta d. Science and research,may heresies prove all , his seeming lies to be indeed truths: The Margin of Worcester had a discovery in his mind whit he could not carry out, but would sometime, h declared, be brought into use, by which a lesion water might he modem° blow up en enemy's fort. W hen the the steam engine' was really discovered, this ar eertion 'then deemed so absurd, was considered prophecy. Eien so may. the progress of science prove the assertions of Herodutus true. There was elaila liquid fire whiCh Coirld'he thrown into the enemy's ships at a distance to destroy them. This was made use of by the Norwegian pirates as late as 1400, but the art of, making it is now unknown.' The Mechanical Arts.—The French consider• ed it so great a feat to place the Obeholt. (which was one solid piece of stone,) on board a vessel, and then convey it from thence to La Phce Cor cords ; to raise its horizontal to a perpendicular po sition; that they deemed it worthy recording un its base, with representations of the mechanics by means of 'which it was done. And yet this Ob• elisk had been drawn from•the quarries, and thus raised ages before, and by mechanics nowvic. known. • It is well known•t'tst in the tombs of Egypt were representations of the various arts then prat.- tised.—A distinguished decipherer of the hien>. glyphies thinks he findi there the representations 'of the five mechanical- powers, the lever, &c. Even new patterns of dress, and new patterns for shawls, ere taken from thesetorabs., Their cloth, too, cotton and linen, (and even theaMuslin de Leine) were found there of a superior quality. Alma of the mummy climb was indeed coarse, but some has been found of great fineness, from one hundred and.forty, one hundred and sixty, to • even five hundred and forty threads to the square inch. The porcelain of that Egyptians was very rich and beautiful; and here in passing we have evidence of commerce in very early times: There is found in Egypt much of the China porcelain, so that there must have been commerce between there two di-tant nations. Canals, a boasted modern invention, were made and used by the ancients, if not for travelling, at lea,t to, convey ,merchandise and burdens. 'Description of a ca 'net across the valley of Goshen spoken- of both by the French and English engineers, which has been filled up wi.h sand; and again in modern times, in a great overflow-of the river, has been filled with water. There is another occupying , part of the space between the city of Thebes and !'its quarters; over the re.t of the space is a road answering in greet measure to' our railroads, being evidently levelled by ar and paved withint:nem blocks of stone. These ere not all the,detaila prepared, but are sufficient for illustration. ' Are we then - superior in nothing to ancient .na tions 1 . Yes: and principally in this—that lerirn- - ing is no('-now buried in the tombs nor hidden in the crypts of churches. Ii does not now live apart from the world in the sacred cloister, or behind the cowl of the monks ; nor is it kept for kings and princes, but it goes forth among the people and ' , works for them and receives from them in return; it casts its bread upon the waters and after many 1 days it returns again.' The art once employed upon the Pyramids is now making habitable the banks of the Mississippi, and el! the great western river's, and rendering their inhabitants prosperous and happy. Where, too, among the ancients, shall we find hospitals! . Where do we find men asso ciated for the.relief of their fellow men ! In these things we ate superior,but not in arts and sciences. And yet to lead to these modern results but one step was 'necessary ; and for centuries the world Janis, as it were, on the point of making that step the step was taken—printing-was discovered— and it has revolutionized the world.
