The Last of the Tyrian Nation, the remnant of an once powerful People, were about to trust themselves again upon that element which had ever befriended them,--and upon which they had ever moved as the Lords of the domain: but, they had now no merry metropolis to receive them,--no walled citadel whose antiquity would speak to them of "ancient days:" recollections of the past were terrible,--the anticipations of the future were dark and uncertain,--and in the present time only could they view security. To return to any known part of Asia, Africa, or Europe, was impossible,--their only path from the Fortunate Isle was forth upon an untracked Ocean. Their final landing-place might be afar off,--their sojourn for ever;--but Apollo and Astartē, their imaged orbs of Day and Night, were to be the "lanterns to their feet,"--and their skilful knowledge, would shelter them beneath the gorgeous, and star-gemmed mantle of Astronomy! The reader now may naturally inquire, How does this position and resolution of the Tyrians agree with "a _seventh_ and last Prophecy," alluded to in the commencement of this Chapter as being now newly applied?--and what is that Prophecy by ISAIAH? The answers will be given with firmness, from the conscientious conviction of their truth. Those natural points of debate in the minds of the Tyrians, were the preliminaries to the fulfilment,--and their safe landing and sojourn in the Western Hemisphere, were the actual accomplishment of the Prophecy! The prediction may have been unknown to this remnant of a Nation,--for it was uttered to the Jewish people, and by one of that great family,--ISAIAH,--and nearly 400 years previous to the Alexandrian Siege. The Sacred Prophet distinctly says, [xxiii. 7]-- "_Howl, ye inhabitants of the Isle!_ [Tyrus] _Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days?_" This sentence by its question is spoken as _to_ the Tyrians;--but the line immediately following, was uttered as _of_ them, and from the wording, from the very spirit of a pre-knowledge of a future event!--viz., "HER OWN FEET SHALL CARRY HER [Tyrus] AFAR OFF TO SOJOURN!" This Prophetic line (brief as it is) contains four distinct and important parts, yet each as necessary to the whole, as quadruple angles to the perfection of a square: viz.-- "Her own feet | shall carry her | afar off | to sojourn." 1st. "_Her own feet_,"--is figurative that the means should be Tyrian; viz., Navigation. 2d. "_Shall carry her_," _i. e._ shall convey them,--and that it was to be by Navigation has already been proved,--"they shall cry aloud from _the Sea_"--that is also demonstrated by the Galleys of the Sidonians. 3d. "_Afar off_"--figurative that the migration should be to some unusual distance, or nameless land.
