The Leper in the Middle Ages

We find the following very interesting re-
view of this subject, in an exchange without
credit.
There are but few passages IN the Lords
ministry which present in a more striking
light the compassionate spirit with which he
labored for the alienation of mans bodily and
spiritual ailments, than his cure Of the leper,
as recorded in the eighth chapter of st. Math-
ew's gospel. When he decended from the
mount on which he had been delivering the
longest and perhaps the most important of all
the discourses addressed to his followers, a
multitude, we are informed followed him. A
midst the gathering throng, one form of more
than usual ghaStliness, is seen approaching

ground in supplication, and the words, ''Lord

Dr. .. W Holmes has thus eleverly coniectured

beauties that cluster about the closing day
Day hath put on his jacket and around
His burning bosom button d it with stars.
Here VIII lay me on the velvet grass,
That is like padding TO earth meagre ribs,
And hold communion with the things about me.
All me, how lovely is the golden braid E.
That binds the skirt of nights descending robe.
The thin leaves quivoring their silken threads
DO make music like to rustlng satin,
As the light breezes SIN Doth their downy nap

Doubtless in Eden thou :" breath

But now thou seemest like a bankrupt bean
Stripped of his CANDY hues and essences.
And growing portiy in his sober garments
is that n swan that rides upon the water.
oh no. it is that other gentle bird,
Which is the patron of our noble calling
1 Well remember, in my early years,
When these young hands first closed upon goose;
/ have scar upon my thimble finger
Which chronicles the hour of young mbltion.
My father was n tailor, and his father

They had ancient goose-it was heirloom

When none near, and did deal with 1t,
And it did burn mc-0h most fearfully!
1t is r joy to strengthen out ones limbs
And leap elastic from the level counter
Leaving the petty grievances of earth
The breaking thread. the din OF eiashlnS shears,
And all the needles that do wound the spirit,
For euch an hour of soothing silence
Kind nature, shutting in her loose undress,
Lays bare her shady bosom; L can feel

That rides the stream, is TO brother
The vulgar know not all the hidden pockets,
Where Nature slows away her loreliness.
