From the Great West
THE RETURNING PESTlLENCE.

AHE RE U RNlNG PESIlLENCE.
BY JOHN C. LORD, D. D.
BY river and fountain,
BY desert and plain,
Over valley and mountain
am coming agaic.
10 execute judgment-an Angel Of Wrath,
With Terror, and Anguish, and Death in my path.
In the East began, ...
Der the dark jungies sweeping;
. In the old Hndoostan
Was waling and weeping;
From the plaguesmiiten city e'en the Parians flee,
And Gunga, corpse-burdened, rolls on to the sea.
On the hower-scented gale,
Is the nnt of my breath,
And Persian wives wall
For th' Angel of Death
In the land of the pse his shadow had cast.
And darkened the hopes of their heart as he pass d
Then Siberian SHOWS
In my passage crossed, +.r
And the death wall arose ..
In the regions of frost;
In the Ice-Monarch's mantle was there no defence,
'Gainst the fe-quelIing touch of the pestence.
By the sign Of Saliva ton
paused for time;
From each Christian nation
Rose voices of crime.
Though the symbol was there. the substance was
gone,
To the harvest of death | went speedily on.
Then Russia-the cold
In my pathway swept,
. And in Moscow, the old,
The grey bearded have wept,
Who saw, without tears, their palaces fired.
For him whose commission at Moscow expired.
And onward advancing,
Like a strong man from wine,
Where sun-browned are dancing
In the land of the vine,
With the steps Of giant, Deaths wine press
Before me the lving-behind me the dead.
Weep maids of Vienna
Howl, Paris and Rome
The gates of Gehenna,
Are opening for doom.
The plague.cart shall wait al your mansion Of pride
The rich with the poor TO The Dark House shall ride.
At last I shall sail
For the star hammered West,
And my barque shall not fail
Ger the oceans broad breast.
To land me-long dreaded-though my shpmate
shall sleep,
Where DER the sea-buried the mermaiden, weep.

the lives Of hundreds are saved who would other

speedily remove all irritating matter from the

A FAIRY TALE.

@ did You not hear in your nursery
The tale that the gossips tell,
OF young girls that came to drink
At u certain fairy well
The words of the younger were as sweet
As the smile Of her ruby lip
But the tongue of the eldest seemed 10 move
As if venom were on its tip.
At the we'll beggar accosted them,
CA sprite in mean disguiso,)
The eldest spake with scornful brow
The youngest with fearful eyes.
Cried the fairy, 'wheneveryou speak, etgirl.
Pure gems from your lips shall fall;
But whenever you utter word proud maid,
From your tongue shall serpent crawl
And have you not met with these sisters Oft,
In the haunts of the old and young;
The first with pure unsullied lip,
The last with her serpent tongue2
The first 10 GOOD Observation-Disclosures bright,
O'er the darkest theme she throws;
And the last SANDER, leaving the blight
Of the snake wherever she goes.
