THE SCOURGE.
BY MRS. 4. IL ELLIS.

The terrible scourge, with alright in it,
train!
Like a tempest it rushes DER valley and
plain,
And hundreds dismay'd are flying away
From the poisonous .plaguc which nc
power can sway.
Proud cities and villages, shrouded in
gloom, ..s..
The loy'd and the lost have sank to the
tomb,
For the reaper has laid his icy hand
On the fairest flowers of our sunny land
He has paled the cheek of the maid in her
bloom,
And tottering age has sent to the tomb
Has snatched the babe from the mothers
breast,
And laid it!among his thousands to rest
In triumph he rides, unhceding the wall
Of the sorrowfnl hearts who sadly quail !;
Who weep for the lov'd ones forever gone,
And sigh for each dear familiar tone.
He has quelled the heart of the fair young
bride,
The light of the household--a mothers
pride
And stricken to earth the manly form,
So late in glowing health and vigor warm.
Zephyrs bear on their trembling wings
The widows wall, where Death his shadow
filings;
His skeleton foot treads the halls of the
great,
And the rich, as the poor his summons
await.
Oh! sad it is to contemplate the end
Father and mother. brother, sister, friend;
All to the cold and silent tomb are gone,
And conquering still, the cruel work goes
on.
The faithful heralGs of the Cross are gone;
Ih'J W iphShb INV hSiVj tiip 'i''oi
crown is won.
Firm to their post they stood amid alarms,
Till summoned to the dear Redeemer's
arms.
Father, it is Thy chastening hand
That holds the rod which dcsolatCs our
land
And humbIy now we own Thy Sovereign
power
TO blast the hope of mortals in an hour.
Each passing day is heard the mournful
dige,
As earth receives the victims to the
scourge;
And brave hearts trcmhle at the scken-
ing scene,
For youth and beauty fall in all their
sheen.
Stay Thy affecting hand O Gracious God
We mourn the thousands sleeping meath
the sod
Thy righteous arm, and only Thine, can
save
Thy suffering creatures from the cold,
dark grave.

1t is said that General Sherman
has shown SO much feeling on ac-
count of bis son joining the Jesuits,
