tttt'trttOT. From the lloston Afrmorial for 1328. THE DELUGE. O'er the wide earth was joy. The shell went round. And song and mirth, not innocent were there. The fires upon the altar were extinct, Or lightcdhip at pleasure's shrine, they burn'd With an unholy brightness. There was heard The sound of revelry, the merry laugh That pealed amid the banquet. Men reclined In bowers of roses. On the river's bank, Lull'dbv the soundkv- waters, and the calm

Of cooling shades, smooth'd by the rushing breeze,

Mingling with music s soft and melting strain, Flew the voluptuous hours. Then men bow'd Rut not to God, and innocence had now

Not e'en a name on earth. The hills, the rocks,

Were not God's altars. Men received the gift, Rut worshipped not the Giver. O'er the earth, Was one great festival, one gala day, Of enervating pleasure. They whose brows Should bear the helmet, wore the coronal ; The unmanly chaplet of unmanlv Mowers.

The bowers of beauty were profaned the blush

Which, like the ruined temple s hi e, betray d The approach of its disturber, was a scorn. Men's senses re e I'd amid the banquet's joys

The wine cup's poison they had drunk, and who

Should stay the pestilence r the smiling earth, Where'er "then habited, from hill to hill, From rock to rock, rung with the echoing strain Of pleasure's orgies, like a trumpet-blast.

Whit is the rushing sound that swells the air ?

W by is the voice ot revelrv so mute r

Why fly the roses from the blooming cheek ? It is the rush of waters. Hark ! again ! As if a thousand torrents were abroad, Dashing their headlong way, or the wild waves Of ocean were approaching while on high Bursts the loud cry of horror and dismay. There is the shriek of agony; the groan Half drowned in bubbling waters ; the deep curse, And the half uttered prayer, i?c hopeless shrieks For more than hopeless help ; and the wild yell Of the astonished beasts who plv their limbs In vain to gain s me vpot above the wave. From the pr tul lion roaring in his wrath, To the poor lamb who struggles (:v a while, Then with a silent and appealing look, Sinks down beneath the waters and there too, Still faithful to the last, the generous dog Spends his last breath to s a e the one he loves, Forgetful of himself and when at length The sobbing breath ami failiag limb proclaim The effort well nigh o or, still enjoys Affection's pi outle t privilege, to die With him he could not save. Ail else forget Their natures and their passions in the depth Of their calamity. The mountain top Affords a moment's refuge there was seen The young lamb crouching at the tiger's side Securely, and some desperate h r.ul Ins seiz'd And wrestled with the monster for his place, Till the waves close o'er both, 6v struggling both Together sink. The father spurns his child, Yet clingitu" to hhn in the whirling wave. The sister's ha'ul h as found some frail support A brother's j-.tu nger grasp has wrench'd it from her, . And dash'd her in the waters safe on high The dove flies trembling with the trembling kite Unharm'd, miharming. All is selfish now, Only the mother clasps her frighted babe In wild amazement closer to her breast, And shrieks, and perishes. Affection's ties Arc broken or forgotten. The tall tower, And lofty hill arc peopled with the brutes And men ; some vainly struggling for the place. Grapple with desperate arm the lion's throat. Till the wild prey and vatei sweep them all Into one common sepulchre. ' Wuh shrieks The wild bird vainly seeks a rc feting place Over that shoreless ocean, till atiast
