We arc indebted for the following, says e Now York Observer, to a work which ; havo inoro thim once commended, cnti>d "Clod in History," by the Row II. vul: Though wo uitiy not have the means of i living at accuracy as to the amount of the cciou.i metals in uuo at that period, yet ! have the means of knowing that, they >re very abundant, more s:>, doubtless, an in any age since. According to the ual calculation, not less than 1,000 mil.1 pounds of sterling of gold and silver >ro accumulated and handed over by Da1 to Solomon for tho Construction of the niple. After enumerating tlie immense ins given by the king ns the spoils of war, il perhaps from the public treasury, Divid ,-s lie gave from his own private treasury, )00 talents yf gold and 7,000 of silver ; d his captains and chief men ga\o 5,000 cuts of gold, and 10,000 drams, and 10,0 talents of silver, and 18,000 of brass, il 100,000 of iron. The sum total left r this purpose by David seems to have en iUy,UUU talents of gold, 1,000,000 ] cuts of silver, ati'l brass aud iron without light.?1 Chron. xiv. X'J. Whatever may havo boon the exact value j the Hebrew talent, and consequently t'ue lolint contributed for this one enterprise, i have nut pic testimony that the aggregate s enormous which sufficiently serves r purpose to indicate the abundant supC of gold and silver at that period.* Wc liud this evidence in the account we vc of the structure and furniture of the mdcrful cditico itself. In nothing was .. m i_ *? ? A tf I u i cmpiu un mount, /jion more remarKa-1 s than for the amount of gold and .silver j lployed on it. The stupendous structure is "overlaid with gold." The floor of the i use, the ark of the covenant, and the j erubitns were overlaid with gold ; and | Id, too, covered the many and rich car- j figs on the walls and doors; while the | ;ar, and the mercy seat, and the numor- j s vessels and utensils of the Totnple were | pure cold ; as also were the tables for j e shew-bread, and the candle-sticks and ! ..nr.? -.11 i . uuurc, miu lamps, ana tne tongs, bowls, j ps, and basins, tho spoons and censers j ' c hinges of tho doors within and without; ' e He$b hooks, and all manner of utensils, ' ssels and instruments in the Temple? I oy were all of pure gold. And the profusion of gold and silver met1 the Temple was but a counterpart of the j >hes of the royal household. The house j the forest, or the palace of Lebanon, j one with the same profusion of wealth, j II King (Solomon's drinking vessels, and j the vessels of the house of the forest of | hanon, were of gold. None were of sil-j r. Silver was nothing accounted -if in j e days of Solomon. Moreover, So1 nnon j *de 200 targets of gold, and 300 shields, ' d a o;reat ivorv throne which he nvorlairl i th tho beat sold. The amount of gold at came to King Solomon yearly was t><>(> i louts, besides .silver, brass, and iron, and j ecious nlones in abundance. And we meet the same evidence, that rs is not the lirst age of gold, in the aeunt we have of "spoils taken in war."? ' CO Ave hflflf to fill" 1inilr1i?i? .if* tVin I p- v. ".">> clo in the wilderness?or to the time of erod's Templo. " Ilerod's Toruple was vcred on every side with plates of pure Id." The Temple of Baal in Babylon ih filled with golden vessels, the value of licit is stated to have been 8100,000,000. The ancients were rich in gold and silver d precious stones, yet they were not, in e modern sense of the term, a commercial 1 _ mi ... - opic. xneiv immense wealth in the proms metals consisted, not as at present, in largo circulating medium, but in ornai>iits and drinking vessels, temple furnire and utensils, in shields and targets of Id, and the like. It did comparatively tie to promote the commerce at that peri, and as little to advance the general infests of society. The ancient Persians ounded in the precious metals and miner s beyond anything we can at the present iy well conceive. Wo read of the " Tm ortals" of Darius, a choice troop of 10,000 j en, who appeared at tho battle of Issus j ad iu i'obcj of gold and embroidery, lorncd with precious stones, and wore tout their necks massy collars of pure gold, lie chariot of Darius was supported by ^tucs of gold, and the beams, axle, and lieels wore studded with precious stones, annibal measured by the, bushel tho gold 11 ga taken from the Romans slain at the ttle of Oannco. One .8 astonished at the immense amount gold and silver ami precious stones which )re found by the early conquerors of India, *ypt, and South America?not so much circulating medium or a representative trade, as in the hoarded treasures of temps, sacred utensils, and ornamental trapngs. The riches of the ancients, like cir learning and science, was of little artical utility. It had little to do with mmeroc or public improvement. It was 1-? ?

Doubtless there was nover a time when c power of money was mado to contribute essentially to tho blessing and elevating iv race as at the present time. It is not icause we yet havo move of tho precious ctals in uxc than the ancients had, but icause wc make a hotter use of them.? difornia and Australia, and all tho other !

Saturday t, night came, and lie went over lo old man Stwsou's. Mell was at home, and, guessing his business, made herself very agreea- .. bio. Dob's courage raised fifty per cent ; and so, as soon as the folks had retired, he v commenced his first courtship. To begin, * he found a disagreeable task ; but when n once the ice was broken he felt like a new -j creature. Mell smiled so bewitchinjfly up on him, arid said so many charming tilings. -| Never beforo had he known hours to lly so j rapidly, or moments to be spent so picas- e antly.

Mell told I him where ho could sleep; and then, as is b the custom in some of iho Western States, a brought a pot of warm water that he might n wash his feet.
