It was night, yerustlem slept ns'quietly
amid her hula, as a child upon the breast of
its mother. v The . iioiselcre sentinel stood
Eke a statue at his post, and the philosopher’s
lamp burned dimly La the’ recesses of his
chamber.. But a moral, darkness involved
the
Bob . . —
of men. Eke the cold and insufficient shining
of a distant star.'. The imhrtaEty of a ma'B’s
spiritual nahiro was unknown, his relations
Bnto heaven undiscovered and his future
destiny obscured iu a cloud of mystery^ It
was at this period that the two forma or ethe
real mould hovered about the land of God’s
chosen people. - They earuc Eke- sister an
gels, sent to earth on some embassy of love.
The one of majestic stature and well formed
Dmb, which her snowy drapery' hardly con
cealed, in her erect hearing and steady.'cje,
exhibited the highest degree of strength and
eonfidencri. „ Hw right ana was extended is
an iniprreelve gehture'upward where night
appeared tohave pUced her darkest pavilion
.. _iJo - on. her feft recEBed her delicate com-
jpenion. Tu form and countenance Ihe contrast
of the other. ' She was drooping like a flow
er moistened hy refreshing, dew*, and her
bright but troubled eyes ecanned them'with
rirdent hut varying glance*. Suddenly i
fight like the suu flashed ont from the hear
ens, and Faith arid Hojie baiterwith exciting
songs’ the ascending star nf Bethlehem.—
Years rolled sway, ond the Stranger was seen
at Jerusalem'. ,He was"* mock unassuming
man, whose happiness seemed to consist in
act* rf.henevofenee to the human, race.—
There were deep iraws of rojrow ob hi*
countonance, though uo one knew why He
grieved, for Hwfivetf.iii the practice of every
virture, end was Wted by the good and wise.
. By and-by It Was ’Rumored that, the Stran
ger wofked miracle*^—that the blind saw,
tttat tho dumb spake, the dead arose, the
ocean moderate at its chafing tide f the very
thunder articnlafed. He was tho Bon of
God. Envy assailed Him to death.
Thickly guarded,'he slowly ascended the
Hill of Calvary.’...A heavy cross bent him
|o the earth. But Faith leaned on. His arm
arid Hope dipped her pinions in His blood
mounted to ttie skies.
