THYATIRA.
Fvery fact that elucidates the fulfilment of
prophecy is worthy the attention of all stu
dents and observing men. The developments
are sometimes almost startling, and always in
teresting and profitable as matters of general
knowledge. This site of one of the seven
Churches of Asia, was built by Seleneus Nica
tar, perhaps about two hundred and ninety
five years before tho Christian era, during a
time cf peace. After he had achieved many
triumphs over his enemies, hs formed aa alli
ance withSandrocothus, an Indian King, in
connection with whom he conquered Autigo
sna m a final battls, called, the battle cf Ipsus,
which was fought about three hundred years
before Christ. Syria and part of 1'hrygia, and
all of tho provinces., finally, between that and
India, fell into his hands.
lie then built many cities and expended
large sims to promote the arts of civilization.
And among others the above named city was
built a few years after the cessation of war.
The modern nama of what remains of it is call
ed Ak-bicar and it is situated on the river Hy
las, on the borders cf Lydia and Mysia, on a
plain about twenty miles wide, between Sar
dis and Peragamns. Like other cities in that
part of the world, it was subject to such chan
ges as war and earthquakes effected until the
time of our Saviour. It is not certain by whom
the gospel was introduced into Thyatira,
whether by Paul from Ephcsus, or upon the
return of Lydia from Phillippi, whether she
did not first announce the glad tidings like the
woman of Samaria.and thus became an instru
ment to lead the people to enquire after the
truth. The narrative of her conversion is ex
ceedingly interesting, and there is no doubt
tht the sequel of her life was full of interest
iag events connected with the spread of Chris
tianity. The Jews had places erected for
reading the law and prayer,in the places where
they were scattered, and accordingly in Phil
lipi they repaired on the Sabbath to such a
place, and Paul generally resorted there to
preach the gospel. Lydia, who, perhaps, was
a proselyte to their religion, was also there,
and heard the Apostle, whose heart, was open.
cd to the truth, as her conduct alterwards
clearly evinced
Thyatira was celebrated for the manufacture
of fine fabric, and for the art of dyeing the
most beantiful purple. It entered largely in
to the coloring of tho royal habiliments, and
the certain decorations of costly buildings.
Lydia had not moved to Phillipi for a perma
cent residence, but was there, like other east
ern merchants, only temporarily. Upon her
return to Thyatira, she may have made known
the Gospel, and then they, as heathen villa
ges now do, may have sent for the missionary
of the cross, to preach to them more fully
the gospel of salvation
Of the former buildings of note there is on-
Turkish name of the place means The White
Castles, probably on account of the great pro
fusion of white marble which is strewed around
and of which the buildings are erected. There
are eight Mahomedan Mosques in Ak-hicar in
which the most of tha inhabitants worship.
There are thirty thousand inhabitants, all of

ffiem to some extent, and they have two
churches, one for each denomination. Ilere,
as elsewhere, in this country, the pure priini-
' tive Christianity of the scriptures is unknown,
and its claims are as strong upon the churches
of this country for Bibles and Missionary la
bor as any part of Heathendom.
The surrounding scenery of this city is ex
ceedingly beautiful. The mountains on eith
er side ranging with the wide plain in which
tfce City stands with their beautiful undula
tions covered with Cyprus trees, presented to
the eye a fine view of a fow miles in the dis
tance, while the City itself is litterally embo
eomed in trees and groves of Cyprus and Pop
lar. Ths buildings being of white marblc,sur
rounded and overhung with the deep and pa
ler grcca foliage of those splendid arbor trees,
pres9nt altogether the most delightful-view.
There is no place in this country would pre
sent any resemblance except New llavcn or
Cleveland, and t'ey only some slight resem
blance ia regard to the trees with their green
foliage. When the letter was addressed to the
ancient church in this city, it would seem ".hut
idolatry was influential and had to some ex
tent seduced some of its members, on account
of which the judgment was threatened unless
there should be speedy repentance. But the
Divine testimony is that this church repented
sot, and accordingly the candlestick is remo
ved out of its place. Like the other places
mentioned, this is a standing monument of
Divine displeasure, and a testimony to the
New Testament scripture.
There is a melancholy and yet hopeful feel
ing steals over the imagination in the contem
plation of those once splendid and populous
cities, now all dilapidated and wasted, if not
entirely overthrown and destroyed. While
we linger upon the scenes of falling cities, as
tbey pass away before invading armies, wast
ing pestilence, or overwhelming earthquakes,
as direct judgment of Heaven in fulfilment of
threatings revealed ; we may anticipate the
advantage of the fact in future attempts to
spread the Gospel in those cities, that monu
. mental testimony stands all around asserting
the immutable truth of the scriptures; and tra
dition adds her voice to give confirmation to
the truth of these assertions, together form
ing a glare of light flashing in the face of infi
delity that will oblige it to retire from tho face
of common sense in silence and shame.
- An old Carolinian once said, "I was born
the last day of the week, very late in the day,
and have always been behindhand. I believe
it would have been fifty dollars in my pocket
tf I hadn't been born at all i"
. Socrates, seeing a scolding wife who had
tasged herself on an olive tree, exclaimed :
'Oh f that all trees wonld bear sncb fruit.' "
BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.
The following waif, afloat on the "sea of
reading," we clip from an exchange. e do
not know its paternity, but it contains some
wholesometruths, beautifully set forth ;
Men seldom think of the great event of death
until the shadow falls across their own path,
hiding forever from their eyes the traces of
the loved ones, whose living smiles were the
sunlight of existence. Death is the great an
tagonist ofiifo, and the cold thought of the J
tomb is the skeleton of all feasts. We do not
want to go through the dark valley, although
its passages may lead to paradise; and, with
Charles Lamb, we do not want to lie down in
the muddy grave, even with kings and princes
lor our bed-fellows.
But ihe Gat of nature is inexorable. There
is no appeal or relief from the great law which
dooms us to dust. We flourish and we fade
as the leaves of the forest, and the flower that
blooms and withers in a day has not a trailer
hold cponlife than the mightiest monarch that
ever shook the earth with his footsteps. Gen
erations of man appear and vanish as tho grass,
and the countless multitude that throngs the
world to day will to-morrow disappear as the
footsteps on the shcre.
In the beantiful drama of Ion, the instinct
of immortality, so eloquently uttered by the
death devoted Greek, finds a deep response in
every thoughtful soul. When about to yield
his young existence as a sacrifice to fate, his
beloved Clemanthe asks if they shall not meet
again, to which he replies : "I have asked that
dreadful question of the hills that look cter
nal of the clear streams that flow forever of
the stars among whose fields of azure my spir
it hath walked in glory. Ailweredumb. But
while I gaze upon thy living face, I feel that
there is something in tho love that mantles
through its beauty that cannot wholly perish
We shall meet again, Clemanthe."
As "onrci. dhavgut." An old acquaint
ance of ours in tho country indulges in a very
exaggerated style of description and illustra
tion, in his ordinary conversation. For in
stance, when describing the effect of an alter
ation of his kitchen chimney, which he had
ordered his mason to make, he said that "be
fore the chimney was altered, it drew the wrong
way so powerful, that every flock of wild geese
that flew over the town, for ten years, was
sucked down into his fire-place, but since the
alteration has been made, tho draught was so
strong that if he should hook one end of a log
chain in the middle of tho kitchen floor, the
otherendAvouId stand quiceringup tht chimney.

rri HE NEW-YORK TR1EUN E, Tl e5-0-JL
Tee Teiduxe is now in the roidJIo of its fif
teenth year; Vol. XV. of its weekly issue commen
ced cn the let f September last. The American
pubiis need nt now be made acquainted with &
character or ciaima to consideration. With beta
subordinate regard for prudenca, policy and pop
ularity, it has aimed to stand for Righeousnoa,
for Truth, for Humanity, against fortified Iniqui
ty, Fraud and Oppression. There is not a slave
trader on this Continent, tho' he may never roai
anything but his bills of sale and notes-payable,
who does not know end hate the Tuibcxe; there Lt
not an extensive fabricator of drugged and poison
ous Liquors who does not consider it a very dan
gerous uv.d immoral paper, and wonder why its
publication 13 to'ernted in a commercial, cotton
buying City like New-York. The Newark Mercu
ry once forcibly remarked that it had never knowa
a hard, griping, screwing avai icions employer who
was not hos'ile to the TRBt'si!, nor one eminently
generous and kindly who did notlike it ! Prompt
and plain-spoken in its denunciations of iniquity
and abuses of power, whilst claiming no exemp
tion from human fallibility, it may buve dons
temporary injjstiee to individuals, but it has nev
er been unfaithful to Principle, nor deaf to tha
cries of ihe wronged and suffering. In its columns
the advocates of novel and unpopular theories con
templating the melioration of human woes, spe
cialty those of tho voiceless and down-trodden,
have ever found audience and hospitality ; while
j it has already resisted, and will persistently com
bat, every attempt toproscribe and degrade any
class beoause of diversities of Nativity, or Creed.
In definnce of calumnies the most atrocious, and
of holtilities the most deadly and untrne, the Tri
bune has grown steadily in public appreciation
from the day of its origin. Its means cf serving
the public have been augmented in proportion.
Instead of a single editor with one or two assist
nai :ta orrunixdtion now comprises a iiumerooi
body of writers each fitted by special accomplish
ment and experience for tho particular line of
discussion to which his pen is devoted ; the daily
amount of reading matter given more than quad
ruples that of its earliest issues ; a staff of valued
correspondents encircles the globe, transmitting
early and intelligent- narrations of whatever is
most worthy f attention; while Politics, Legisla
tion, Literature, Art. History in short, whatever
affects the social well-being of mankind, Polemie
Theology alone excepted Ends here tho freest
and most searching disscussion.
Attached by profound com iccion to the becifl
cent policy of Industrial development acd Intern
al Ictercoramunicatiou whose most conspicuous
champion through the last half-century was Hes
r.v Clav imbued, moreover, with the spirit of for
bearance towards our weaker neighbors, and tow
ard the much wronged Aborigines of this Conti
nent and of Peace with All which will hallow the
name of Whig, the Tribune, while surrendering
no jot of its proper independence co-operated ea
ncstly and ardently with tha Whig party so long
as iu vitality w-as preserved. When in ls50-2 aa
atte:nrt was made to interpolate s'ave-tuntins in
to its creed, we sternly resisted that imposition ;
when, at tho close of tho last Presidential ean
va.. it was seen that a lrge portion of the Whig
preferred to defeat their own party rather than,
allow its Anti-Slavery wing to share its triumph,
even under a conservative Chief on a Pro-Slavery
platform, we knew and proclaimed that the W'hig
party was no more. Subsequent events, including
tho i ise and calumniation of the Know Nothing
conspiracy, and the speedy absorption therein of
the whole fore of Pro-slavery Whigism, only con
firmed cur undoubting anticipations. With no
sickly lamentations, therefore, for the inevitably
bygone, but with hope, and joy, and sympathy,
aud words of cheer, have we hailed the beginning
and watched the progress of that mighty REPUB
LICAN movement which impelled by the perfidi
ous violation of the Missouri Compact, and stimu
lated by the astounding outrages whereof the
rights of the Free Settlers of Kansas havt been tho
victims by repeated and utter vitiation of their
elections by an armed mob collected by conspiracy
and hurled suddenly ui.oa them from the border
counties of the neighboring Sluve State, is destin
ed to sweep away the landmarks of old parJy
feuds, and unite the true hearts and strong arms
of tbe frcc-soulcd in one mighty effort to confino
the scourge and ?;andal of our country within the
limits of ihe Stntes which unwisely uphold it. To

no periodical of any s-rt ean rival it. Aiid while

in this unprecedented patronage some evidence
