And the larch has hung all his tassels forth;
The fishes are out on the sunny sea,
And the reindeer bound DER the pastures free
And the pine has a fringe of softer green,
And the moss looks bright where my steps hath

From the streams and the founts have loosened

They are sweeping on to the silyery main;
They are flashing down from the mountain

They are fnging spray DER the forest boughs
They are bursting fresh from their sparry caves,
And the earth resoands with the JOY of the

THE FATE OF JERUSALEM
BY A. II, VI,
CHAPTER |.

CHAPTER !.
MIRIAM, thou hast seen this man. cal
ling himself Christ canst tell me maiden
II he wOrketh miracles as men do say OF
him =
Thus spake Zara, the daughter of Jo-
scph, counsellor of Aramathea, to her
bond woman, as they stood gazing from
the house-top on the moonlit towers of
Jerusalem, and on the far off, mellowed
scenes, where the misty mountain tops
welded the clouds, and where the palm
trees were swaying to and fro like spirits
in land of shadows.
Miriam, | ask thee hast thou seen this
Nazarene ?
The bond woman clasped her hands
over her bosom, and raising her dark
eyes to the face of Ziara, she spoke in a
tone so low and musical, that it sounded
like some wild, mournful chaunt of her
own Grecian Isles then closed them, and
suddenly ceased, as if unwilling to speak,
and as the moonlight foated down on
her white face and pure neck, she looked
like the perfection Of statuary's dream.
Miriam '-and the lady's voice trem-
bied with impailence,-' thy tongue IS
gifted with beautiful language, aud thy
mind, maiden! hath much store of knowl-
edge; therefore | command thee to tell
me of this man y and the bond woman
answered.

and seeing a great multitude of people
drawing near, arose and went forth
from the shade to meet them; and |
heard men talking of one who was to

tered my soul to see this one, who, as
some told Re, called himself the Son of
God.
The multitude halted at length, before
the door OF sepulchre. The great press
Of people had forced me in the midst,

CHAPTER ".

There was tramping of many feet,
and sound of great multitudes rose up
from Jerusalem and the people were
rushing forth from the gates of the city
like an ocean torrent towards Golgotha.
There was a sound Of many voices and
the appalling malediction of Let his blood
be on our heads and the heads of our
children" pierced the skies. There was
sound of many voices, and men thirsted
Tor the hie OF the Son Of God-of Him
who came 10 redeem and save lost crca-
ton.
The counsellor's daughter was alone
IN her chamber. All her household had
gone forth with the multitude, even Miri-
am had left her couch ere the sunlight
dawned Oh a troubled world, and gone up
to the Mount-and her father, and Festia of
Samaria had also gone thither. She sat
alone, and as the yells of furious crowd
would sometimes be waited past her dwell
ling, a shudder passed over her, and she
would bury her face in the pillows of her
couch--pale, trembling and afraid-then
arise and kneel before her altar, and pray
incoherent peLitions-some according to
the Laws of the Old dispensation, and
some addressed TO Him who had raised
the dead-then arising from her devotlons
would walk rapidly to and fro, wondering
what evil had visited her. She left her
chamber, and ascended to the house-top,
and looked forth on the thousands who
were marching up to Golgotha. She saw
the preparations for death, and could look

THE ACCIDENT ON LAKE ERIE.

Of the steamer Atlantic in unmeasured terms,

collision with the Ogdensburg. 1t appears
that she absolutely kept on for several miles
after the acciden, had occurred, the boat filling
all the way, until amid the shrieks of the pas
sengers, she went down. The consequence
was, that $50 lives were lost. IF these ac-
counts are true, there seems to be, in this dis
aster, something more terrible than in any of
which we have ever heard. What could have

THE CROPS.

We do not recollect that we have ever seen
the corn crops SO promising as they are at pre-
sent. The late rains have brought them out in
most astonishing manner. Before these, they
had apparently suffered considerably from
the drought, which, in the early part of the
summer was very prevalent. We have heard
several gentlemen from the lower part of this
county speak of the corn crop as the most pro-
missing they have ever seen.
BY the way, is it yet settled that Indian
corn is to supplant the potato in furnishing
food 10 the populat on of Great Britain and
Ireland! We should be inclined to think so
from the accounts which we have lately had
to that effect. The potato disease seems, from
some cause or other, to be entirely unera dica-
BILE. 1t was hoped, at first, that its force had
been spent, during the season of 1867; bu t
this seems to have been very far from the fact.
On the contrary, according to late reports from
Ireland, every thing indicates renewal of it,
with an increase of virulency to which the
former crisis had no proportion whatever.
twill be recollected that few years ago'
Lieut.. Porter, of the Navy, published letter,
in which he suggested the expediency OF get
ting new specimens of the potato from South
America. the country from which it was origi-
nally exported to Ireland. We have no doub t
that this would be a means of restoring the
plant, already exhausted by having bred from
the same stock for three hundred years. Ma
turaiss say that it is with plants, as it is with
animals, and that one general law regulates
animal and vegetable life. Breeding in, and in'
in either case, is destructive of the progeny
1t not only causes it to degenerate, but it intro
duces and perpetua,es diseases, which finally
lead to its destruction. This may have been
the case with the potato, and to this source, in
all probability, can be traced the disease VIII ch
threatens 10 destroy the value of this vegetable
entirely.
But is Indian corn to supply its place That
is question the solution Of which affects the
interests of our farmers most seriously, and it
is one which we should like to see solved.
