One uf the most pplcndid sketches it lr.w overboen my fortune to pcru*n, is that ny v rowiy, who tu nis wofks musuescriues t lie* fall of Jerusalem : The fall of our illustrious ami happy city was supernatural. The destruction of the conquered was against the lirst princi]tles of tho Roman policy; and to the lust hour of our national existence Home held out offers of peace, and lamented our frantic dispositions to ho undone. Hut the decree was gone forth from a mightier throne. During the latter days of the seigc, a hostility. to which that of man was a grain of sand to i.?e tempest that drives it fin, overpowered our strength and senses. Fearful shapes and voices in the air; visions j-tirtliog us from our short and troublesome .sleep; lunacy in its hideous forms; sudden death in midst of vigor, the fury of tho elements let loose upon unsheltered heads ?we had every terror and evil that could beset human nature, pestilence, tho most intolerable of all in a city crowded with the famishing, the diseased, the wounded, and the dead. Yet, though the streets were covered with unburied bodies, though every well and trench was tec:uii.> with them: six hundred^thousand corpses lay tiling over the rampart nod naked to the sun?pestilence conic not, for if it ha<] come, the enemy would have been .scared ?way. But the " abomination of dissolu tion," the pagan standard, was fixed when: it was to remain until the plow had passed over the ruins of .Jerusalem. On this fa till niglit no man laid his head on his pi I - low. 11g:iv.cii nuu earth were 111 conflict. Meteors burned above us; the ground shook under our foot; tho volcuno blazed ; ?lie wind shot forth in irresistable blasts, and swept rhe living and the dead in whirl winds, far in the desert. We heard the b"llowinsr of the distant Mediterranean, as if its waters were at our side, swelled by the deluge. The lake and rivers voare'l and inundated the laud. The liery sword shot out tenfold lire. Lightning, in iin ntonse sheets of intensity and duration thai turned the darkness into more than day withering eye and soul, burned from tin zenith to the ground and shattered tin Minimits of the hills. Defence was not thought of, fur the tnor i tl eiiciny li:ul passed from onr mind.? Our ho.lrts <|iittkcd for fear; hut, it was t( s 'e tlio piwer of heaven shaken. All c isl away the shield and the spear, and crouch cd before the descending judgment. \V< were conscience smitten. Our cries o remorse, anguish and horror, were bean through the up-oar of the storm. W< bowled to the caverns to hide us; we plun ged iuto thescpulehres to eaenpe the wratl that consumed the living-; wo would havt buried ourselves beneath the mountains. 1 knew the cause, the unspeakable cause and the. last hour of crime was at hand.? A few fugitives, astonished to sec one mai among them not sunk into the lowest fee Lioness of fcr.r, cnr.ie around me, and be fought me to lead theni fosome sift: place if such were now to bo found on earth, openly counselled them to dio on the h 1 i.wl ..ft I,,, Tl.,... f..II........ >tnd I led through .streets cncumhered wi11 every shape of hiiuiau suffering, to tin foot of Mount Moriun. Hut beyond tha tve found advance impassible. 1'ile.s o clouds whose darkness was palpable, evei in tl?o midnight in which we stood, obscu red the hoi}' hill. Impatient, and not to b< daunted by anything that man could over, come, I cheered my disheartened band and attempted to lend the way up the as cent. I tut I had scarcely entered tin cloud when I Was swept down by ft Litis that tore the rocks in :i flinty shower aroum inc. And now cnmc the hist and inos wonderful si^rn that marked the fate of i rqeotcd Israel. While T lay helpless I heard the whirl wind roar th '?u?jli the cloudy hill, and tlv vapors bepni. to revolve. A pale light like that of the risinir moon, ouivered 01 the cdgcn, and the clouds rose rapidly, aha ping themselves into the forms of brittle inputs mid towers. The sound of voicc was hoard within, low nnd distinct, yc strangely sweet. Htill the lustre brighten cd, and as the airy building rose, tower o tower, and battlement on battlement; w knelt and gazed on tbih more than inortii architecture, that continued rising an spreading, and glowing with a serene light, still soft and silvery, yet to whio the moon beam was dim. At last it stoo forth front earth to heaven, tho colossi imngo 01 trio nrxi icmpto; ox me milium; r.iihrt 1 by the wisest i>f men, one consocrn tod to the visible glory. AU Jeruajtleni raw the image, and th idiout thnt. in tho midst of their despair nscended from its thousands. told whii proud remembrances thnt night have hush od the world beside. Never fell on my ear never on humnn sense, n sound so majestii yet so subduing; so full of melancholy jet of gruudcur uud couiwaud. Thin v.int povtrtl opened, and from it marched a liost such a* man had never .scon ho fore, ffuoh as man shall nctfer sco hist mice ajrain ; the guardian hngels of the City of l>avid ! They came forth gloriously, hut with woe in all their steps; the stars upon their helmets dim; their robes i stained ; tears flowing down their cheeks of colestial beauty. "Lotus jio honoo," ' swelled upon the night, to the uttermost limits of the land. The nrocossion lim/or I o , od long upon the hill l'lie thunders pealj ed ; and thoy roso at command. diffusing waves of light over the expanse of heaven. ! The chorus was still heard, magnificent and i melancholy, until 'heir splendor was ditn' inishod to the brightness of a star. Then the thunder roared again. The cloudy temple was scattered on the wind, and ; larkncss, the omen of the grave, settled . upon Jerusalem. ACJoldkn Motto.?" I count only tlie hours that .ire serene," is the motto of a I sun-dial near Venice. Thcro is a softness anil a harmony in the words and in the | thought unparalleled. Of all conceits it | is surely the most classical. " 1 count only the hours that are serene." What a bland and care-dispelling feeling ! How the shadow.-. coin to fade on the dial plate as the sky lowers, and time presents only a blank unless as its progress is marked by what is joyous, and all 111 a t is not happy sinks into oblivion ! What a tine lesson is conveyed to the mind?to lake no note of tiiuu but by its benefits, to watch only for tho smiles and neglect the frowns of fate, to compose our lives of bright ami gonlle mo! incuts, turning always to tho sunny side of tilings, and letting the rest slip from our imaginations, unheeded or forgotten !
