was ec'tlng the evidence in the case The room
was thronSed with people, who listened to every ques

to plead his and his splendid mind, under the
excitement Of his strange situation, and the desire to
acquire what he had lost burst into strains of surpas-
sing e'oquence: deep murmur fnpplause was heard
throughout the room. The jury after few moments
consultation, gave their verdict in favor Of his CLIENT

think others dislike you until they have manifested

in your associates. 1t is better to be sonnet lines de-

your own age and sex, be willing always to advance

into juxtaposition, the weaker must either be made

So with regard to the red men, people Of refined
sensibites, and Of enlg htened reason, too, while
they admit the wrongs Of that injured race

T II FA OF JERU SALEM
How fair is the land to the eye!
Her beautiful prospects how dear
The cedars of Lebanon flourish on high
And the OF Sharon are here;
The milk and honey and wine,
From the Gland of the chosen flowing;
Fair Carmel is spread with carpet of vine,
And the balm is from Gilead blowing -
The l;lly and rose in the vallies seen,
And the hills of Judea are sunny and green.
jerusalem proud is thy story;
The nations have heard thy renown,
Here glittsrs that temple in splendor and glory
OF Palestine greatness the crown,
The sound Of the tabret and sackbut heard
As nations went in at thy gate,
The heathen the CLEAN of thy panopy feared,-
And named thee, mighty and great.
Art thou gui,less ah no, for the groans Of the just
And the blood of thy martyrs cry out from the dust.
Art thou guiltless' oh answer ye tears
That fell upon Bethany's plain,
Bear witness the scourge and the which
appear,
On the hill where the Messiah was sain.-
'rhe angel Of death with the scroll of thy doom
Shall the hand of Omnipotence stay
Speak prophet of Nazareth speak from the tomb
Where thy murdered mortality lay -
Art thou guiltess ! oh never, for damp is thy sod
With the blood Of thy prophets; the tears thy God.
There's on thy green shady bowers
The voice ofthunders comes heavy and loud,
From the blackness that ahgrily hangs Ger thy
towers,
And red is the fringe of that ominous cloud
All hushed is the song ofthy n,ir1h.
And the guilty trembling and pale,
The sound of her quaking re-echoes from earth,
And rumor Of conflict hath laden the gale;
Oh we innocent Zee to the mountains for nigh
Is the doom Ct the guilty, IBIS sealed from on
high
Proud city thy glory is fading
The arnor of David is covered with rust
And the Roman avenger through carnage is wading,
To trample thy spendor in dust.
See proud Ger that battle array'd,
The Julian banner is streaming,
And bright as the sun beam that gladdens the day,
The lance and the helmet are cleaning,
Abandoned Solyma the vial is poured,
And famine and faction combine with the sword
The steel of the Roman is red with thy blood,
The flame of thy ruin is blazing,
Thy towers and thy bulwarks so proudly withstood'
The hand of destruction is razing
Oh fearful and dark was that ruinous day.
AS the swift footed hurricane rushing,
The angel of darkness well stated with prey,
Strobe dark where the carnage was raging;
Proud Salem is fallen, her glory hath flown,
And her temple is rent to the uitermosf stone. M
