Destruction of Jerusalem. , l'rotn a lecture by Sir H. Hulwer Lytton \vc take the following thrilling description : " Six years after the birth of our Lord, .1udea and Samaria became a Roman province under subordinate governors, tlie most famous of whom was Pontius Pilate. The governors became so oppressive, that the Jews broke out1 into rebellion ; and seventy years after Christ, . Jerusalem was finally besieged by Titus, afterwards Emperor of Rome. No tragedy on the siagc mu hiiine scenes or appalling terror , ns are. to be found in the history of this siege. | The city itself was rent by factions of the deadliest war with ench other?all the elo- i inents hf civil hatred had broke loose?the streets were slippery with the blood of citizens ?brother slew brother?the granaries were set on fire?famine wasted those whom the sword did not slay. In the midst of these civil mas- j sacrcfl, the lloman armies appeared before the walls of Jerusalem. Then for a short time i the rival factions united against the common foe ; tlicy were a train the gallant countrymen of David and Joshua?they sallied forth and scattered the cables of Home. But this tri- [ umph was brief; the ferocity of the ill-fated lews soon again wasted itself on each other, i And Titus marched on?encamped his armies j close to the walls?and from tho height the Roman general gazed with nwe on the strength and splendor of the city of Jehovah. " Let us here pause?and take, ourselves, a mournful glance at Jerusalem, as it then was. The city was fortified by a tripple wall, save on one side, where it was protected by deep and impassable ravines. These walls. ?.f tlio most solid masonry, were guarded by ! strong towers ; opposite to tlu; loftiest nf these : towers Titus had encampcd. From the height | of that tower the sentinel might have been ! seen stretched below the whole of that fair j territory of .Judea, about to pass from the countrymen of David. Within th:\se walls was the palace of the kings?its roof of cedar, its door of the rarest inarblo, its chamber filled with costliest tapestries, and vessels of gold and silver. Groves and gardens gleaming wun fountains, aclorncd with statues of bronze, divided the courts of the palace itself. Hut high above all, on a precipitous rock, rose (lie temple) fortified and adorned by Solomon.? This torn pic was as strong without as a citadel ; within more adorned than a palacc. On entering, y?u beheld porticos of numberless column; of porphyry, marble and alabaster; gitos a 1 jined with gold and silver, among which was the wonderful gate, called the iicautiful. (i Further on, through a vast arch, was the sacred portal which admitted into lite interior of the temple itself?all sheeted over with gold and overhung by a vine tree of gold, the branches of which were as large as a man.? The roof of the temnle. even on tlio nntswln I ' ~ . ? ' I was set over with golden spirits, to prevent j tho birds settling there and defiling the holy j dome. At u distance the whole temple looked | like a mount of snow, fretted with golden pin- | nacles. Hut, alas, the veil of the. temple had ] been already rent asunder by an inexpiable j crime, and the Lord of Hosts did not fight with Israel. But the enemy is thundering the wall. All around the city arose immense machines, from which Titus poured down mighty fragments of rocks and showers of fire. The walls gave way?the city was entered, tne temple iisclt was .stormed. Famine, in the meanwhile, had made such havoc that the besieged were more like speetrcs than living men ; they devoured the belts of their swords, the sandals of their feet.? Kvcn nature itself so perished away, that a mother devoured her own infant; fulfilling the awful words of the prophet who had first led the Jews towards the land of promise? " The tender and delicatc woman amongst you, who would not venture to set the sole of her nn/L upju I?IIU ^IUIIIIU IWI UI'IIUHIUUU^ ULU ICII* dcvncHS?her eye shall bo evil towards her you no; one and the children that she shall bear, for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the seige and straitness wherewith thine enemy shall encompass thee in thy gates." "Still, as if the foe and famine were not scourge enough, citizens smote and murdered each other as they met in the way?false prophets ran howling through the streets?every linage of despair completes the, ghostly picture of the fall of Jerusalem. And now the temple was set on fire, the Jews rushing through the flames to perish amid its ruins. " It was a calm summer night?the 10th of August.?the whole bill on which stood the temple was one gigantic maze or nrc, tne roots of cedar crashed?the golden pinnacles of the dome wore like spikes of crimson flar.ic.? Through the lurid atmosphere all was carnage nnd slaughter, the echoes of shrieks rang back from the hill of Zion to the Mount of Olives. Amongst the smoking ruins, and over piles of the dead, Titus planted the standard of Home." Titat every day has its pains nnd sorrows is universally experienced, and almost universally confessed; but let us not attend only to mounful truths; if we look impartially about us we shall find that every day has likewiso its pleasures and its joj8.

" Bessy Carraways!" said Basil, ami the blood ran over his face, his mother silently smiling at the emotion, " (faraways is a?a " (Basil stammered, then laughed) " a flower." " No doubt, dear Basil," said Monica; " so are all young ladies of Bessy's age; all flowers." " But I mean," said Basil, " the natural tiling. You see. my beloved sisters, there are two sorts of flowers. Now Bessy isi too fine or too pood for this world.
