The destruction of the conquered was against the fust principles of the Roman policy; and to the last hour of our national existence, Rome held out oilers of peace, and la tnentcd our frantic disposition to be un done, lint the decree was crone forth from a mightier throne. During the latter days of the. siege, a hostility to which that c! a man was as a grain of tand to the tempest that drives it on, overpowered our strength and senses Fearful shape and voices in the air visions starling us from our short and troublesome sleep lunacv in its hide mis forms sudden do.it li in the midst of visor the fuiv of the elements let loose upon our heads. We had every terror and evil that could heset human nature, hut pestilence, the most proha hie of all, in a city crowded with the famishing, the diseased, the wounded, and the dead. Vet though the streets were covered with unburied, though every vell and trench was teeming. though six hundred thousand corpses lay tlung over the ramparts, and lay naked to the sun. pestilence came not lor if it had tme, (he enemy would have born m .an d away. Iiuf'the abominable desolation,' the Pagan standard, was fixed where it was to remain unti the plough had passed over the ruins ol Jerusalem. On the fat d night no man laid hi: head upon the pillow. Heaven aiu earth were, in conlhct. Meteors burn e l over us the ground shook under our feet the volcanoes blazed the wind burst forth in irresistible blast and swept the living and the dead in whirlwinds far into the desert. We heard the bellowing of the distant Mediterranean, as if its waters were at our sides, swelled by the deluge. The lakes and rivers roared and inundated the land. The fiery sword shot out tenfold fire shower- of blood fell thunder pealed from every quarter of the hea vens lightning, in immenst: sheets, of an intensity and dilution that turned the darkness into more than day, withering eve and soul, burned from the zenith to the ground, and marked its track by forests of flame, and shattered the summits of the hills. Defence was unthought of, for the mortal enemy had passed from the mind. Our hearts quaked for fear; but it was to see the powers of heaven shaken. All cast away the shield and spear, and crouched before the descending judgment. We were conscience-smitten. Our cries of remorse, anguish, and horror, were heard through the uproar of the storm. Wc howled to caverns to hide us. We plunged into the sepulchres to escape the wrath that consumed the living. We would have buried ourselves under tho mountains. I knew the cause the unspeakable cause, and knew that the last hour of crime was at hand. A few fugitives, astonished to see one man amongst them not sunk into the lowest feebleness of fear, came around nie, and besought me to lead them to some place of safetj-, if such were now to be found on earth. I told them openly that they were to die, and counselled them to die in the hallowed ground of the Temple. They followed ; and I led through streets encumbered with every shape of human sufferings, lo the foot of Mount Moriah; but beyond that, we found advance impossible. Piles of clouds, whose darkness was palpable even in the midnight in which we stood, covered the holy hill. Impatient, and not to be daunted by any thing that man could overcome, I cheered my disheartened hand, and attempted to'lead the way up the ascents ; hut I had scarcely entered the cloud when I was swept down by a gust that tore, the roi ksina flinty shower around mr.

Now came the. last and most wonderful sign that marked the fate of rejected Israel. While I lay helpless, I hoard the whirlwind, roar through ihe cloud v h'U and vapor heran ro revolve. A pale

ighl, like iVirit of the rising moon, quiv ered on the edges of the horizon, and the clouds rose rapidly, shaping thenielvcs into the forms ot battlements and towers. 1 lie sound of voices was heard within, low and distinct, yet strangely sweet, Still the lustre brightened, and the airv building rose, lower en lower, and battlement on baltleni' nt, in awe that held us mute. We knell and gazed on the more than mortal archiiet lure. that continued rising and spreading, and glowing with a serener liht, -till soft and silvery, vet to which the bnvidesl moonlight was dim. At last,il stood forth to earth au.l heaven, tho ce!as-al image of the fw-l temple of the build ing raised by the wisest of men, and consecrated Ivy the. visible glorv. All .lerusak m saw the image; and the houl that in the midst of their despair ascended from the thousands and tens of thousands, told what proud remembrances were there. Put a hvmn was heard that might have hushed the world besides. Never fell on mv ears, nevei on the human sense, a sound so niujes lie, yet so subduing so full of melan choly, yet of grandeur and command. The vast portal opened, and from it marched a host, such as man had never seen before, such as man shall never see but once again the guardian an gels of the city of David. They cam forth gloriously, but woe in all their stops the stat s upon their helmets dim their robes stained tears flowing down their celestial beau' v. "Let ?e go "ocr," was the song of sorrow. "Ld us ?) fx na " was answered bv sad ech oes of the mountains. "Ltt us go her.ee,' swelled upon tho night to the further most limits of the land. The procession lingered long upon the summit of the hill. The thunders pealed, and they rose at the command diffusing w aves of light over the expanse of heaven. I lie chorus was heard still magnificent and melancholy, when their splendor was diminished to the hrigtititos ot a si a l hen the thunder roared again the cloudy Temple was scattered on the wind and darkness the omen of the. grave, settled upon Jerusalem. Lrofy s Salu'Jtit I. fro Mr. IIale Magazine.' THE MOTHERS AFFECTION. The most ellicient and important in fluence that woman can shed on society is her right to the exercise of that ma ternal care, which forms the primitive ana most indelible species of early cd ucation. Who is it that protects tin child when young, and watches over its helpless years with the seeming be nignity of an "angel form ?" The Moth er. Who is it that holds the sceptre of guidance and restraint over the wild passions and tender atfections of the child ? The Mother. When the resplendent laurels of fame are. bound round the temples of the man, what eye so bright as the Moth er s? what heart throbs with such live. 1 an joyous emotion f the mother casts a charm around her. emanating solely from her personal purity, that forms the broadest corner-stone on which civil society depends for all its good results, its comforts and improve ments. No circumstance, no earthly changes can destroy the mothers love, 'tis of a celestial nature and origin, it springs when first the child's career in life is begun, and grows as the child advances to mature life. It dies not to-morrow after living one day, but, from the caiii est ages till now, the Mother's has been unchanging, independent, a blest and noble passion, one that will never never perish, until the vital principle in man is extinguished. The first soft accent, the half-formed lisping, the dear idea that softly plays and sparkles upon the opening mind, is the sweet appellation of "my Mother." In every age and clime, the records of history abound with instances of motherly kindncs. When amid the frowns of the regardless world when the appalling hand of sickness and despair is attended with extreme poverty, the Mother, though her cup of misery be full and overflowing, stifles the secret agony of her own bosom, and whispers consolation to the heart of her suffering child. When sickness preys upon the fragile form who can soothe its sorrow ; butshe whosingssweetlullaby,and cradles the infant on her warm and beating breast no pillow so soft and quieting.

The Father provides for his child, protects it, loves it, but his love is of a calmer nature; it descends not to those watchful and anxious cares for the minor gratifications of existence

which (he Mother, perhaps, from lu r refined and delecate sensibility, can more readily and justly appreciate. i hough the wide-spreading billows roar eteon the parent and the child, though he he in a distant land, living in the expectancy, if not eternal, of a rolonged soperatioii yet the pious Mayer of a Mother is offered at the throne of mercy, for his preservation, his safe, return to the home of mcleri.n! 10 v.

Woman has of ten been considered a mere cipher; but now that the flowers of literature have been transplanted into the valley of ig norance, she rises, partially, from obscurity, and shines in a lovelier light. May its purity increase with its splendor, ti'll our country, from the South to the North, is lich and radiant with the flowers ot virtue and intelligence, which have sprung beneath the judicious care of maternal atfect ion. E. L. Scarborough Institute, Ga. THE 1-AIK ADVENTfREtt AN'J THE SAVAGE. Many years ago a beautiful young girl quit her parental roof, i:i consequence of the increasing tyranny of an unreasonable mother. She bent her course towards a settlement ef acquaintances in the far west, between which, and her native home, lay a wide and gloomy forest ; she had scarcely penetrated the borders of the dark wood, w hen she was accosted by a huge, yet pleasant featured Indian, who kindly offered his company and serv ices, as a guide and protector. They had not proceeded far, when the young heroine began lo doubt the fidelity of her guide, perceiving .already that he had deviated much from the indicated path. She could no longer silence her suspicions. The Indian laughed at her weakness i i - I. ami ignorance; yet me lair traveller boldly declared her intention to be separated from her guide, who vehemently urged a continuation of his services: but when he discovered the immovable firmness of his companion, he attempted to force her by menaces. The maid hesitated a moment, when casting her eye in the direction they were to continue, she discovered with horror and amazement, the smoke rising from the distant wigwams of the treacherous savages. The dread of slavery and degradation, seemed to impart new vigor lo the trembling girl, and as if aided by supernatural power, she broke from the demon s grasp, and soon disappeared in the forest, pursued only by the tomahawk of the savage. The fair adventurer encountered verv few of the privations and difficulties which her t rea herons guide had represented. She reached in safety the settlement of her friends, among whom she became the flower and pride. Patent doctors.

GOOD COUNSEL. It would certainly do no one any harm, and might do all much good, were they to carry into practice the following gratuitous advice of an Editor some where East. Close of the year. The present is an appropriate season for looking over accounts, balancing books and 'squaring , i - i ii . u';. r.vcrv man snouiu as ouen a once with a year ascertain how he stands the world whether his business lias j ielded him a fair profit during the proceeding jear or otherwise whether he is amassing property or getting behindhand, or is only making meet. If his business is lucrative, attention to it is ail that is necessarv if it alfords no profit perhaps by extending it in some particulars, or lopping cif some unnecessary expenditures, it may be made toield a fair income, and if it be worse than unproductive, it is absolutely necessary that it should be abandoned and other pursuits selected. Frequent settlements are necessary to show a man his situation lo prevent misunderstandings, and protracted e.nd expensive law suits. Many persons keep no accounts whatever, but trust to memory and other men's honest). This is a bad practice. Memory is frequently treacherous, and "we should alw ay deal with honest men as with rogues." Many hard thoughts and unhappy controversies would be avoided were this injudicious practice less frequent. Every man, be his dealings with his fellow man small or large, should keep a set of account books. If any of our readers have hitherto neglected to do this, we would hint to such, that the first of January is a good lime to alter their course in this respect. The beginning of a new year is an appropriate season for the formation of good resolutions for the abandoning of bad prac tices, such as rum drinking, profane swearing, tattling, neglecting to pay the printer, &x. It is a good time, loo, for tho-e who do not take a newspaper to subscribe for one for those who have never suffered the dust to accumulate on the cover and edge of the Good Rook, to take it from the shelf with the determination of perus ing it daily for those who have in any particular lived in violation of the gol den rule "do unto others as you would th;;t others should do unto you" lo set about the work of reform in good earnest. Mankind bring at least tbrcefourtbs of the 'ills of life,' about which they are always complaing, upon themselves, by their own imprudence and folly. With industry, temperance, and humble relience upon divine providence, a man can scarcely fail to be prosperous, contented and happy. Without these virtues he scarcely fails to be exactly the reverse. Snuffing. A gentleman, the other day in a shop at Kensington, on taking a pinch of snulf, politely offered his box to a pretty looking servant maid, who was also making purchases. "No than!; ye, sir (said the smart soubretle); I reckon my nose an ornament to my face, and not adust-hole." Last week a lady asked one of her kitchen girls, who was clearing some rubbish from the cellar, what she was doing? Molly replied, in the cant phrase of the day, "removing the deposites, ma'am." Distilled Fools. llow many thousand are to be found (misnamed fools, who might rather be termed insane) who dig their graves with their teeth, who sail to (he invisible world on intemperate draughts of inebriating drinks who suffocate themselves with the incense of unreasnoble pleasure, and who perish with the weight of their oppress ive dignities, honours and treasures, as the foolish Camilla, who desiring the bracelets of the Sabines, expired be neath (he golden bucklers which the soldiers heaped upon her body.
