THE CRUCIFIXION.

A Fragment.
Upon the cross His form was seen,
Amid the points of weapons sheen;
And there He smiled in agony
Upon vast eternity
Yes-faiht He smiled upon the race
Who Knocked Him at that dreadful place:
That countenance of holy love,
Showed the sweet camness of above.
And through that gloom, that cloud ofwoc,
1t seemed the sunbeam's cheerful glow.
He bowed in silence, where on high
He writhed in piercing agony
His spirit fled-the blackened sky
Rung with wild sounds, and thunders dread
Muttered the deep dirge for the dead!
The dark sky wept-the earthquakes sound
Echoed along the holy ground
Full many saint in robes Of white
Rose from their long sepulchral night!
Full many shade from waken'd tomb
Soar'd slowly through the ghasty gloom, a
And as they seemed on clouds to float,
- They sigh'd one wailing funeral note
They scann'd futurity unfurd,
And dmy wept upon this world!-
The scene was clos'd-but Salem's doom
Is fxd by fate in words of gloom.
