Yet  who  the  thira  f  ^  he  jell  of  shame

Uantk  4.  i  ;na*hing,  yegtures  torn,

The  Gti  je  kugh  of  goorn.
All  tho  '  can  sting,

Are  5u  thom-cTOwned  Sdng  I

Yet,  cmi  uiT'     d,  tanuted,  spumed,

No  wnitl  die        ith  reftamisd ;

No  veoge.<^i^  ..^ashe.      im  the  eye ;
The  Sufferer  ciilmly  wuita  to  die ;
The  soeptre-reed,  the  thornj  crown,
Wake  on  that  pallid  brow  no  frown.
At  last  the  word  of  death  is  given,
The  form  is  bound,  the  nails  are  driveo :
Now  triumph,  Scribe  and  Pharisee !
Now,  Eoman,  bend  the  mocking  knee !
The  cross  is  reared.    The  deed  is  done.
There  stands  Messiah's  earthly  throne !

This  was  the  earth's  consummate  hour ;
For  this  hath  blazed  the  prophet's  power ;
For  this  hath  swept  the  conqueror's  sword  ;
Hath  ravaged,  raised,  cast  down,  restored;
Persepolis,  Eome,  Babylon,
For  this  ye  sank,  for  tins  ye  shone !

Yet  things  to  which  earth's  brightest  beam
Were  darkness  —  earth  itself  a  dream,
Foreheads  on  which  shall  crowns  be  laid
Sublime,  when  sun  and  star  shall  £ide :
Worlds  upon  worlds,  eternal  things.
Hung  on  thy  anguish,  Kmg  of  Bangs !

Still  from  his  lip  no  curse  has  come,
His  lofly  eye  has  looked  no  doom !
No  earthquake  burst,  no  angel  brand,
Crushes  the  black,  blaspheming  band  :
What  say  those  lips,  by  anguish  riven  ?
**  God,  be  my  murderers  foi^ven !  "

%    THE  SEVSNTH  PLAGUE  OF  EGYPT.  —Rev,  George  Croljf,

T  WAS  morn,  —  the  risiDg  splendor  rolled

On  marble  towers  and  roofs  of  gold :

Hall,  court  and  gallery,  below,

Were  crowded  with  a  living  flow ;

Egyptian,  Arab,  Nubian  there.
