The origin of the introduction of statues instead of columns, in architecture, is thus related. “Carya, a city of Peloponnesus, sided with the Persians against the Grecian States. When the country was freed from the invaders, the arms of the Greeks were turned against the Caryans. Upon the capture of the city, the males were put to the sword, and the women led away captives. The architects of the age, in order to perpetuate the ignominy of this people, introduced statues of their women instead of columns in the porticos of their buildings; the ornaments and drapery were faithfully copied from the attire of the women, the mode of which they were never permitted to change. ❦ _Charles, Prince of Wales_,[4] _By Lope de Vega._ Carlos Estuardo soy, Que, siendo amor mi guia, Al cielo de’España voy Per ver mi estrella Maria. Charles Stuart I am, Whom love has guided afar; To the heaven of Spain I came To see Maria my star. [4] Sung in Spain during the romantic expedition of Charles to that country, whilst his marriage with the Infanta was in agitation. ❦ Afflictions are sent us by Providence to teach us to recollect our ways. ❦ _Philadelphia, City of William Penn._ This is a _planned_ town: built according to the rectangular plan of its illustrious founder, the great and good William Penn. He who had received from his Sovereign an absolute title to the lands on the wilful subterfuge of Christian and heathen rights to the soil--but who, acting upon the principle of “uniform justice,” never would invade a foot of territory which he had not before purchased from the Indians. Penn considered immemorial occupancy superior to all other tenure, that this right of the Red-man was founded in nature, that this tenure was the free gift of Heaven, which no king, no pope, no man had a right to question, or any equitable pretence to destroy; and therefore his principles required him to commence with justice to the natural occupant of the soil. With the founder of Pensylvania, the measures he adopted, and his demeanour towards the aborigines were wise, and so happy that it became a maxim among them “never to lift the tomahawk against the race of William Penn.” The country of William Penn was called “the Poor Man’s Paradise;” poverty was unknown in all its borders.
