The PASSAGE uF THE RED SEA.-Pope de-
scribes the following lines as the finest he hat
ever read in the English language:
When Eeypt's king Gods chosen tribe pursued,
In crystal walls the admirng waters stood;
Wh n througt the des ert wild they took their way,
The rocks rcented ana poured forth a sea;
What limit Almighty goodness know,
When seas harden and when rocks can flow!
