Poetry Of the Bible.

The language of the imagination is
the highest language of man. II is the
language of Lis excited intellect: of his
aroused passions; of his devotion. of all
the loftier moods and temperaments of
his mind. 1t was meet, therefore, that it
should be the language of his revelation
from God. 1t was meet that, when
man was called into the presence of his
Maker, he should not be addressed with
cold Formally, or in words of lead. or
yet in the harsh thunder of peremptory
command and warning, but that he
should hear the same figured and glow
ing speech to which he was accustomed,
flowing in mellower and more majestic
accents from the lips of his God. The
language of poetry has. therefore. be-
come the language of the inspired vol
ume. The Bible is, on the whole, a
mass of beautiful figures; its words and
its thoughts are alike poetical; it has
gathered around its central truths all
natural beauty and Interest," it is tenn
Pile, with one altar and one God, but
illuminated with a thousand varied
lights, and studded with a thousand
ornaments. 1t has substantially but
one statement TO make, but it utters it
in the voices of the creation. Shining
forth from the excellent glory, its light
has been reflected upon myriad of in
tervening objects, till it has been at
length attempered for our earthly Wis
ion. 1t is now reflected upon us at once
from the heart of man and from the
cOuntenance of nature. 1t has arrayed
itself in the charms of fiction. 1t has
gathered new beauty from the works
of creation, and new warmth and new
power from the very passions of clay.
The truth, contained in Scripture has
united in its service the animals of the
forest, the flowers of the field, the stars
of heaven-all the elements of nature.
The lion, spurning the sands of the
desert, the wild Zoe leaping over the
mountains, the lamb led in silence to
the slaughter, the goat speeding to the
wilderness, the rose bloss oming in
Sharon, the lily dropping in the valley,
the apple-tree bowling under the fruit,
the great rock shadowing a weary land,
the river gladdening the dry place, the
moon and the morning star, Carmel by
the sea, and TABOR among the noun
tains, the dew rom the womb of the
morning, the rain upon the mown grass,
the rainbow encOmpassing the land
,cape, the light, which is Gods shadow.
the thunder, which is his voice, the
wind and the earthquake, which are his
footsteps-all such varied objects are
made as if naturally designedfrom their
creation to represent him towhom The

the quick spirit of the BOOK has ram

bleeding brow of Emmanuel. lie flow

to the amusement of this great assem-
bly,.
Alas, my young readers, this little
girl that the infant Mozart chose for
wife, with such admirable ingenuity,
was not as happy as she would have
been had she married the artist.
Years afterwards-on the same day
that Mozart, the great composer, was
publicly crowned and saluted by the
elite of the population of Vienna-the
little girl became queen of France and
wife of Louis XVI, and was insulted
by wild and furious mob. Ten years
afterwards, she mounted the scaffod.
Strange and mysterious fate that God
hides from the eyes of human beings;
one is never able to see the end nor
guess the futurel
But let us return to our hero, who
has already turned out to be what he
promised.
Charmed by his precociousness, the
Empress deigned to let the archduch-
ess, Marie Antoinette, associate with
him.
Wolfgang was not eight years old
when he appeared in 1853 at the court
of Versailles. He played upon the or
gan at the kings chapel and proved
himself equal to the greatest masters.
AT this time he composed two So
natas-which he dedicated, one to
Madame Victoria, the daughter of the
king, and the other to the countess of
Jesse.
In 176S Mozart returned to Vienna,
where he composed an opera, La
Finite Semplice." When he was four
teen he produced Mthridate " which
was repeated twenty consecutive times.
Mozart made a second trip to Paris
in 1776. AT this time they were pre-
senting Alceste, by the knight, Gluck;
an opera, which was not great success.
After the first representation. Gluck
was at his Preside, receiving words of
coincidence from his friends, when
young man, twenty years old, threw
himself, in tears, into his arms.
"Ah, the barbariansl The hearts
of ironl what must we do to move
them?" cried he.
Console yourself, little one" re-
piled Gluck, "in thirty years they will
render me justice"
The one whom Gluck addressed as
little one" was no other than Wolf
gang Mozart.
\ \
Mozart died when thirty-six years
old. When he was composing his
famous Requiem " he was asked, of
an unknown, if he felt his end was
near. l am working for my funeral"
he said. The fire of his composition
wrought him to such pitch that his
wife, advised by the physicians, made
him put up his work and rest. They
returned him his unfinished work, so
it could be finished, but death came
too soon.
A few hours before his death, he had
his famous Requiem" brought him.
Ah," he exclaimed, d" am l not right
to say that it was for me that com
posed this song of DEATH" Mozart
died the seventh of December, 1871.
