A rowid---;abovc•-the vivid liOtnings glare!
The thunder's awful noise. unceasing

Young Aa-ritoa silent bent his careful way
Across the landing's dun and dang'rous gloom;
Seized san•the nrassy portal, which gave way,

Trembling with dumb amazement now he trod,
While hope and fear his breast alternate sway'd,
To where a smother'd meteor smoking stood,
Casting a gleamy.light throughout the shade.
Child of the forked lightning ! -Asrttua cries,
Art thou;a token of Heaven's vengeance sent??
Why does thy fearful fern► assail mine eyes ?

Atill.glaritl the-meteor —fear the youth appals,
His swelling heatt against his bosom knoeks ;
Prone on his face the swooning AR ritua
.And burnt kis moss against--1 NE TlNDss. Box ! I
