and where will you find a scene to rival that
which is viewed from Elna 20 rtaa
Compare this spectacle with one of the great
eruptions, and the agonizing days that precede it.
Smoke and earthquake commence them. The
days are darkened, the nights sleepless and horri-
Bile, and seem ten times as long as usual People
rush to the churches in prayer, or crowd in their
doorways, (Which are thought the safest paces,)
or remain in boats or carriages out Of doors: Re-
igous professions move in terror through the
streets. Sometimes the air is blackened with
POWDER sometimes with ashes, which fall and
gather every where, such as Pompeii was buried
with. Lightnings play about Etna; the sea
rises against the dark atmosphere in CHASTITY
white pillows dreadful noises succeed, accom-
panied with thunder, like batteries of artillery;
the earth rocks; land slips take place down the
hill-sides, carrying whole fields and homesteads
into other mems grounds cities are overthrown,
buryng shrieking thousands; and at length the
mountain bursts out in flame and lava, perhaps in
forty fifty places at once, the principal crater
throwing out hot glowing stones, which have
been known to be carried eighteen miles, and the
frghtful mineral torrent running forth in streams
Of fiery red, pouring down into the plains, climb
ing over walls, effacing estates, and rushing into
and usurping part of the bed Of the sea. river
of it has been known to be fifty feet deep, and
four miles broad. Fancy such a stream coming
towards London, the whole width Of Oxford
street, Bayswater, and Kensngton, as far as
Shepherds Bush By degrees, it cakes into q
black and rustling half.liquid, rather pushed
along than flowing though its heat has been
found lingering after lapse Of years. And
when the survivors Of all these horrors gather
breath, and look back upon time and place, they
find houses and families abolished, and have to
begin, as it were, their planned existence anew.
Yet they build again over these earthquakes !;

SONG OF THE ALHAMBRIAN CAPTIVE.


Where are they now--the young and fair,
Who once inhaled the breezy air,
Which still, at eve, so coolly blows
From the Sierra's distant SHOWS.
Where are they now, the brave and free,
The pride of Moorish chivalry,
Who once Granada's champions shone p
Where are they now for all are gone?
Yes, they are gone-war and the tomb,
Ages ago have sealed their DOOM
Th' Alhambra's magic structure stands,
But vanished are her warlike bands.
Gone, too, are all her lovely train
OF empire proud, Of conquests vain;
In royal beauty's ruined bower,
A lonely captive culls the flower.
Imprisoned in foreign land,
pine for my own native strand;
IT'S vain to think of ages past,
We to the present wake at last.
The glittering pageants fade away,
The present hour asserts its sway,
For those dearly love are gone,
And Rosaline now weeps alone.
