A Beautiful Extract. Tt was night. Jetusalem slept as quietly ntnid her hills as a child upon the breast of its mother. The noiseless sentinel stood like a statue at his post, and the philosopher'a lamp burned dimly in the recesses of his cheerless chamber. But a mortal darkness involved the nations in ita nnlighted shadows. Ifenson shed a faint glimmering over the minds of men, liko the cold and insufficient shining of a distant star. The immortality of man's spiritual nature was unknown, his relations unto henven undiscovered, nnd his future destiny obscured in a cloud of mystery. It was at this period that two forms of etherial mould hovered about the lnnd of God's chosen people. They seemed liko sister angels sent to enrllt on some embassy of love. Thoono of majestic statue and well formed limb, which her snowy drapery concealed, in her erect hearing and steady eye, exhibited the highest degreo of strength and" confidence. Her right arm was extended in ah impressive gesturo up ward wnero nignt appeal eu 10 nave placed her darkest pavilion, while on the left reclined her delicate companion, in form and countenance the eontrnst of the other, for she was drooping like a flower when moistened with refreshing ,tews, and her bright but troubled e^es scanned the air With ardent but varying glances. Suddenly a light Itko the sun Hashed out fiom the heavens, and Faith and Iiopo hailed with exulting songs the ascending star of Bethlehem. Years rolled away, and the stranger was 6eon in Jerusalem, lie was a meek, unassuming ..'man, whose happiness seemed to consist in acts of benevolence to the human race. There were deep traces- of eorrow on hie countenance, though nooue knew why he grieved, for he lived in the practice of every virtue, and was loved l?y all the good and wine. lJy and by it was rumored that the stranger worked miracles; that the blind saw, tbr.t tho dumb a pake, the wo:,d leaped, the ocean inodorsvlo?l j.^ ehnfin* tide; and the very tUji'^f^artioHlfted, He ?3 tho Sou of ..pj, Envy availed liiirt to death, {SJowly and thickly gird cd, he ccv.^ed vhe hill of Calvary.
