BABYLON.
This city, the capital of Chaldea, was
built by Nimrod, adjacent to the tower of
Babel. It was the capital of Nimrod's em
pire: so that its antiquity is unquestion
able. The city was square, fifteen miles,
every way, the whole circuit being of six
ty miles. The walls were built with
large bricks, cemented with bitumen, a
thick glutinos, fluid which tiers out of
the earth in the country hereabouts; it
binds stronger than inorter, and becomes
harder than the brick itself. These walls
were eighty-seven feet thick, and three
hundred and fifty feet high. Those au
thors who mention them as only fifty cu
hits high, refer to their condition, after
Darius, son of flystaspes, had command
ed theinito be demolished down to that
height, as:a punishment l'or a rebellion of
the Babylonians.
The city was encompassed with a vast
ditch, which was filled with water ; and
brick work was carried up on both aides,
The earth which was dug out, was employ
ed in making the brick for the walls of
the city; so that one may judge of the
depth and width of the ditch by the ex
treme light and thickness of the walls.
There were a hundred gates to the city,
twenty-five on each of the four aides :
these gates, with their posts. cssc. were of
brass. Between every two of these gates
were three towers, raised ten feet above
the walls, where necessary ; tor the city
being encompassed in several, places with !
marshes which defend the approach to' it, I
there was no need of towers on those
parts.
A street answered to each gate, so that
there were fifty streets in all, cutting one
another at right angles ; each fifteen tidies
in length, and one hundred and fifty-one
feet wide. Four other streets having
houses only on one side, the ramparts be
ing on the other, made the whole compass
of the city ; each of these streets was two
hundred feet wide. As the streets of
Babylon crossed one another at right an
gles, they formed six hundred and seven
ty-six squares, each square four furlongs
and a half on every side, making two
miles and a quartr in circuit. The hous
es of these squares were three or four
stories high, there fronts were adorned
with embellishtnents, and the inner space
was courts and gardens.
The Euphrates divided the city into two
parts, culling from north to south. A
bridge of admirable structure, about a fur
long in length, and sixty feet wide, form
ed the communication over the river ; at
the two extremities of this bridge were
two palaces, the old palace on the east
side of the river, the new palace on the
west. The temple of (lotus, which stood
near the old palace, occupied one entire
square; the city was situated in a vast
plain, whose soil was extremely fat and
fruitful.
To people this immense city, Nebuchad
nezzar transplanted hither an infinite
number of captives from among the many
nations subdued by him.
-- -
Something should be said of those fa
mous hangin. ' gardens which adorned the
palace in Babylon, which are ranked
among the wonders of the world.
They contained four hundred feet
square ; they were composed of several
large terraces ; the platform of the highest
terrace equalled the walls of l3ad y lon in
height—three hundred and fifty feet.—
From one terrace to that above it, was an
ascent by stairs ten feet wide. This
whole mass was supported by large vaults
built one upon another,
and strengthened
by a wall twenty-two feet thick, covered
with stones, ru , lies, and bitumen, and
plates of lead, to preveut leaking.
There was so great a depth of earth that
the largest trees might take root. Here
was every thing that could please the
sight ; the largest trees, flowers, plants
and shrubs. On the highest terrace, was
an aqueduct supplied with water from the
river. From whence the garden was
watered. It is affirmed, that Nebuchad
nezzar undertook this wonderful and fa
mous edifice, out of complaisance to his
wife Amytis, the daughter of Astyages ;
who, being a native of Media, retained
strong inclinations for mountains and for
ests, which abouuded in her native coun
try. .
In the year of the world thirty-tour
hundred and sixty-six, Cyrus the king of
Persia, took the city of Babylon, by turn
ing the river Euphrates, and marching
his troops through its former channel,
while the people Jere celebrating a grand
festival. From this period, Babylon cx
petienced a rapid decay, till-it was taken
by Alexander the Great, about two hun.,
dyed years alter. lle, with a yiew of
making it the seat of his empire, had deter.
mined to restore it to its ancient splendor:
but dying suddenly, the work ceased.—
is successors abandoning this proud cap.
ital forever, it continued to decline, till it
became desolate. Nut the smallest vest
age of it now remains; and the exact place
where it stood is unknown.

No bombastic eulogy is deemed essential
to add to the already acquired celebrity of
this stove. It is necessary, however, to ob
serve that the high reputation this stove has
gained by practical use, has induced the man
ufrctnrers of other and inferior articles, to
borrow (not to use a harsher term) the name
of HATHAWAY, and prefix it to an "Im
proved," in order to make their inferior
trash go off as genuine, and thereby impose
upon the public. 1, myself, sell the only
HEAL HA I'HAWAY stove that is or can
be sold in this county, and would therefore
admonish the public against the imposition
above alluded to. lam happy in being able

TESTIMONIALS,
Messrs, SANFORD 8C PARK—Dear Sirs:—
With regard to Dr. Wtstar's Balsam of 'Wild
Cherry, for which you arc wholesale agents,
we have sold, since last October, eighty
two bottles at retail, and have heard from
a great portion of them as producing the
desired effect.
Several important Cases in this vicinity,
which came under our personal knowledge
have been cured!—where other remedies
have been tried fur years without effect.
In fact, we think it one of the most inval
uable remedies for consumption of the lungs
and all other complaints for which it is re
commended; and do think, that the suffer
. ing of the afflicted demand that you should
give it a general circulation, and make its
virtues known. Yours, truly,

“Wistatoo Balsam of Wild Cherry.—We
should judge from Messrs. Weagely &
Knepper's letter, published this day among
our advertisements, that this popular rem•
edy for coughs, lung complaints, and dis
eases of the breast generally, was really a
valuable medicine, and worthy of serious
attention trom the public. We are infored
by the wholesale agents, that they are al
most daily receiving similar letters from all
parts of the West.
We would advise our readers who are
laboring under an affection of the lungs, to
make immediate trial of this truly excel
lent medicine. The most intelligent and
respectable families of our city have adopt
ed it as a favorite family medicine ; and
persons:predisposed to consumption who
have used it, speak in the highest terms of
its efficacy.”
O Read the following from Dr. Jacob
Hoffman, a physician of extensive practice

Dear Sir:—l procured one bottle of Dr.
Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, from
Thomas Read, Esq. ,of this place, and tried
it in a case of obstinate Asthma on a child
of Paul Schweble, in which many other
remedies had been tried without any relief.
The Balsam gave sudden relief, and in my
opinion the child is effectually cured by its
use. Yours, &c
