The Tower of Babel.

Only two out Of the eight stories OF
the tower of Babel are left standing,
but they rise to such an elevation as to
be distinctly visible within a radius of
fifty miles. The base of the tower &C.
cupies a space of 2,100 square feet.
The bricks used in its erection are COW

The pitch, or bitunen, which was
used in the place of cement, was OBJ
tanned from a spring, still to be seen in
the neighborhood of the tower. A mis-
sionary of the Order Of the Cannelites
has recently erected on the summit OF
this ancient structure a statue of the
''Virgo Victrix" Victorious Virgin),
which had been blessed by the late
Pope Plus IX. The ceremony of un.

Tao cold r fog Of the winter day
Held sea md land in thrall:
Silent tho vessels at anchor lay;
A spell was ovcr all.
The narrow lines of each vessel bound
Thc limit Of their sphere;
Beyond was naught but a world Of sound
4 world of doubt and fear.
From t.lc yards the sails bcflrcsglcd hung,
Bordcrcd by drops of dew;
Feathcry mists from tho halyards flung,
Like Ghostly pcnnone flew;
While tho masthead pierced the misty
gray
And vanished at the spars,
Tho ratlincs seen but q step away
Were narrow prison bars.
Eut sudden n golden glamour stole.
As through a tiny seam:
IT. spread till the glory lit the whole.
And lightened beam to beam.
No shadow fell from the ray of light:
The wind and sea were still:
sight
Behind the distant hill.
We saw it not as the golden ray
Gave place 10 tirts Of rose;
And tho mists, no longer cold and gray
About us seemed to close.
They closer grew as tho rose light died.
The mists took on their frpwn,
And the gloom that came from either
side
Told that the sun was down.
