On my arrival al Jcm-alem. I took pcs.-ession of
the I'letorium. and ordered a splendid feast to be
prepared, to which I imited theTetrarch of.ltidea,
with the high piirst and his officers, Al the ap
pointed hour no guest appeared. This was an
insult udhred to m\ dignity. A ti*w days' uftor

deportment was bold and deceitful.- He pretended

j accept o! his excuse ; but i’ropi that moment 1 was
I convinced tint the conquered had declared them
' selves the enemies of the conquerors.
, At that time, Jerusalem was, of all conquered
: cities, the most difficult to govern. So turbulent
were the people, that I lived in momentary dread
of an insurrection. To repress it, I had but a sin
gle Centurion, and a handful of soldiers. I request
ed a reinforcement from the Perfect of Syria, who
j informed me that he had scarcely troops sufficient
to defend , his own province. Insatiate thirst of

Among the various rumors that came to my
| apprehensive that his design was to stir up the
' people against the Romans ; but soon were my fears
dispelled. Jems of Nazareth spoke rather as a
: (fiend of the Romans than of the Jews.
J One.day. in passing by the place of Silioa. where
, there was a great concourse of people, I observed,
in the'midst of the group, a young man leaning
against a tree. \sho was calmly addressing the mul
titude. I was told that it was Jesus. This I could
, easily have suspected, so great was the dilierencc
between him an 1 those who were listening to him.
jHe appeared to he about thirty years of age. lli>
golden colored hair ami beard gave to his appear
; ancf ap-elesti.d aspect. Never have 1 seen a sweet-
;er or more serene countenance. What a contrast
: between him and his hearers, with their black
. beards'and tawney complexions ! Unwilling to in
: temipt him by my presence, I continued my walk,
' but signified'to my Secretary to join the group and
. listen.
The Secretary's name way Manilas. He was
! the grandson of the chief of the conspirators, who
I encamped at Etruria, waiting for Cataline. Man
ilas was an ancient inhabitant of Judea, and well

with the Hebrew* language. He was
| devoted to me, and was worthy of my confidence.
: On returning to the Pretorium, 1 found Manilas,
who related “to me the words that Jesus had pro

lor the last three years, ample freedom of speech ;
nor do I regret it. Your words are those of a sage.
[ know not whether von have read Socrates and
Plato ; but this I know, that there is in your dis-
courses a majestic simplicity that* elevates you tar
above those threat philosophers. The emperor is
informed of it: and I, his humble representative in
this enuntr}'. ain glad of having allowed you that
of which you are so worthy. However. I must
not conceal from you. thatiyour discourses have
raised up against you powerful and inveterate ene
mies. Neither is this surprising. Socrates had his
enemies, and lie fell a victim to their hatred. Yours
are doubly incensed against you. on account of'
your savings : against me on account of the liber! v
extended towards you. Tiiev even accuse me in
directly of being leagued with \oti. lor the purpose
of depriving tne Hebrews of the little civil power
which Itome has left to them. My request —I do
not say iny orders—is. that you he more circum
spect for the future, und more tender in arousing
the pride of your enemies, lest they rise up against
you the stupid populace, and compel me to use
the instruments of justice.
The Naznrcne calmly replied,— ,
•Piiuce of the earth, your words proceed not
from true wisdom. Say to the torrent to stop in
the midst of the mountain because ft will uproot
the tress of the valley ; the torrent- will answer
you, that it obeys the laws of the Creator. God
alone knows whither How the waters of the torrent.
Verily, I say unto you ; before the rose of Sharon
blossoms, the blood of the just will be spilt.
-Your blood shall not be spilt," replied I, with
emotion. *• You are more precious in my estima
tion, on account of your wisdom, than all these
turbulent and proud Pharisees, who abuse the free
dom granted them by the Romans,-conspire against
Ccesar, and construe our bounty into /ear. Insolent
wretches! They are not aware that the wolf of
the Tiber sometimes clothes himself with the skin !
of the sheep. I will protect you against them. My j
Piprtorium is open to you as a place of refuge—it i
is a sacred asylum. j
Jesus carelessly shook his head, and said, with a j
graceful and divine smile, j
When the day shall have come, there will be no :
asylum for the Son of Man, neither on earth or
under the earth. The asylum of the Just is there, j
(pointing to the heavens.) That which is written '!
fn the books of the prophets must be accomplished.’’
- Young man." answered 1 mildly, -you oblige !
me to convert my request into an order. The safe
ty of the province which has been confided to my
care, requires it. T)o not infringe my orders: you
know them. May happiness attend you. Fare- .
well."
Prince of the earth," replied Jesus, li I come not
to bring War into the world, but peace, love and
charity. I was bom the same day on which CVsar
Augustus gave peace to the Roman world. Perse -
cution proceeds not from me. I expect it from
others, and will meet it in obedience to the will of |
my Father, who has shown me the way. Restrain, |
therefore your wovdly prudence. It is not in your j
power to arrest the victim at the foot of the taber- j
naele of expiation."
So saying he disappeared like a bright shadow
behind the curtains of the basilick.
Herod, the Tetrarch, who then returned in Ju
dea. and who died devoured by vermin, was a weak
and wicked man, chosen by the chiefs of the law
to be the instrument of their hatred. To him the
enemies of Jesus addessed .themselves, to wreak
their vengeance on theXazarene. Had Herod con.
suited his own inclination, he would have ordered
immediately to be put to death :• but though
proud of his regal dignity, yet he wasafraidof com
mitting an act that might diminish his influence
with Ccr-sar.
Herod called on me one day at the Pretorium,
and on rising to take leave, after some insignificant
conversation, he asked me what was my opinion
concerning the Xazarenc.
I replied, that Jesus appeared to me to be one >' r
those grave philosophers t - 't great nations some
times produce, that his doctrine was by no means
dangerous: and that the intention of Rome was to
leave him that freedom of speech which was justi
fied by his actions. Herod smiled maliciously and
saluting me with ironical re.-pect. he departed.
The great feast of the Jews was approaching,
and their intention was to. avail themselves of the
popular exaltation, which always manifests itself
at the solemnities of the passover. The city was
overflowing with a tumultous populace, clamoring
for the death of the Xazarenc. My emissaries in
formed me that the treasure of the temple had
been employed in bribing the people. . The danger
was pressing. .A Roman ceuturianhad bqpn insulted

They had seized upon Jesus; and the seditious
rabble, although they knew they had nothing to
tear from the Pretorium, believing, on the faith of
their leaders, that 1 winked at their sedition, con
tinued vociferating—-Crucify him. crucify him." ‘
i- poweiiul parties at that Tine-' h-id cmiihin-
mi. ace-, wuoso seditious conduct appeared to have
pro- ceded from a double motive; they hated the
Nay ircnc. and were impatient of the Roman yoke.
Tlu p could nevpr forgive me for entering their holy
ci’y with h.uiners that bore the image of the Ro
man Emperor : and although, in this instance, I
committed a fatal error, yet the sacrilege did not
appear less heinous in their eyes. Another griev
ance also rankled in their bosoms. I had proposed
to employ a part'd' the treasure of the Temple in
erecting edifices of public utility. My proposal
was scowled at. The Pharisees were the avowed
enemies of Jesus. They cared not for the Governor;
but they bore with bitterness the severe reprimands
which the Nazarene had. during three years, been
continually throwing out against them wherever
lie went. Too weak and too pusillanimous to act
'by themselves, they had eagerly embraced the quar
j<•! of the Herndians and Sadurees. Besides these
three parlies. I had to contend against the reckless
and profligate populace, always ready to jobs in a
sedition, ami to proht by the disorder and confusion
that result therefrom.
Jesus was dragged before the Council of the j
Priests and condemned to death. It was then that !
the High Priest. Caiaphas. performed a derisory '
act of submission. He sent his prisoner to me to
pronounce his condemnation and secure his execu
tion. I answ'-red him that as Jesus was a Gali- '
loan the atiair came within Herod's jurisdiction,
and ordered Jesus to be sent thither. The wily
Tetrach processed humility, and protesting his de
ference to the lieutenancy of Cesar, he committed 1
the late of the man to my hands.
•Soon my palace assumed the aspect of a besieg
edcitadel : every moment increased the number of
the seditious. Jerusalem was inundated with crowds
from the mountains of Nazareth. the towns,of
Galilee, and the plains of Esrelon. All Judea ap
peared *o be pouring into that devoted city.
I had taken to wife a girl from among the Gauls,
wpo pretended to see into futurity. Weeping, and
throwing herself'at my feet, “ Beware." said she to
me. " beware, and touch not that man. for he is
holy. Last night. I saw him in a vision. He was
walking on the water—he was flyirtg on the wings
of the wind. • He spoke to the tempests, to the
p.ikr; trees, to the f-hes of the lake—all were obe
dient to him. Behold! the torrent of Mount Ced-

Words ol my wile, dread the curses of a Roman
Senate—dread the frowns of Crv-arJ'
By this time rny marble stairs groaned under
tne weight ol the multitude. The Nazarene was
brought hack to me. I proceeded to the Hall of
Justice, followed by my guards, and asked the peo
ple in a severe tone, what they demanded ' “The
' death of the Xazarcne," was their reply. For
what crime! “Ho has blasphemed; he has pro
phesied the ruin of the Temple; he calls himself
the Son of'God—the Messiah—the King of the
Jews." Roman justice, said I, punishes not such
uflrnces with death. ,l Crucify him, crucify him!"
i shouted forth the relentless rabble.
I The vociferations of the infuriate multitude
1 shook the palace to its foundation. . One man alone
appeared calm in the midst of the tumult. He was
like unto the Statue of Innocence placed in the
temples of the Euminides. It was the Nazarene.
j* After many fruitless attempts to protect him
; from the fury of his merciless persecutors, I had
the baseness to adopt a measure which, at that
j moment appeared to me to be. the only one that
: could save his life. I ordered him to be scourged;
then, calling for a ewer, I washed my hands in the
presence of a clamorous multitude, thereby signi
fying to them my disapprobation of the deed.
But in vain. It was his life that these wretches
thirsted after. Often, in our civil commotions,
have I witnessed the furious animosity.of the mul
titude, but nothing could ever be compared to what
I beheld in the present instance. It might-have
been truly said that, on this occasion, all the phan
toms of the infernal regions had assembled together
at Jerusalem. The crowd- appeared not to walk ;
they were borne off and whirled as a vortex, rolling
like living waves, from the portal of the Pretorium
even unto Mount Zion, with bowlings, screams,
shrieks and vociferations, such as were never
heard either in the seditions of Pannonia, or in the
tumults of the Forum.
By degress the day darkened like a winter twi
light, such as had been seen at the death of the
great Julius Caesar. It was likewise towards the
Ides of March. I, the contemned governor, of a
rebellious province, was leaning against a column
of a basiiick, contemplating athwart the dreary
gloom, this theory of Tartarus dragging to execu
tion the innocent Nazarene. All around me was a
desert. Jerusalem had vomited forth her indwel
lers through the funeral gate that leads to the G'e
moniaj. An air of desolation and sadness enveloped
me. My guard had joined the cavalry, and the
Centurian, to display a shadow ; of my power, was
endeavoring to maintain order. I was left: alone,
and my breaking heart admonished me, that what
was passing at that moment appertained rather to
the history of the gods than to that of man. Loud
clamours were heard proceeding from Golgotha,'
which borne-on the winds appeared to announce an
agony such as never had been heard ; mortal ear.
Dark clouds lowered over the pinnacle of the Tem
ple, and their large ruptures settled over the city
and covered it with a veil. So dreadful were the
signs that were manifested,both in the heavensand
on the earth, that Dionysius, the Areopagite, is re
ported to have exclaimed, “Either the author of Na
ture is suffering, or the Universe is fallbig apart."
, Toward the first hour of the night. I threw my
mantle around me, and went down into the city
toward the gate of Golgotha. The sacrifice had
been consummated. The crowd' were returning
home ; still agitated, it is true, but gloomy, sad, taci
•turn, desperate. What they had witnessed, had
struck them with terror and remorse. I also saw
mv little Roman Cohort pass by mournfully, that
standard bearer having veiled his eagle in token
of grief, and I overheard some of the soldiers mur
muring strange words whicji I did not comprehend:
Others were recounting prodigies almost similar to
those which had so often smote the Romans with
, dismay by the will of the gods. Sometimes groups
of men and women-would halt; and then look
back toward Mount Calvary would remain motion
less, in the expectation or witnessing some new
prodigy.
I returned to the Pretoriurri sad and pensive.
On asce jding the stairs, the steps of which were
SVH e^i?, n dil v ili!ul h ?n I, lCefjppL , te ! ifeAFg, n &>,l "fifc
hind him, several woman in tears. He threw him

see an old man weep. Father," said I mildly
— t: vvho are you. and what is your request?"
I am Joseph of Arimathea." replied he, : ‘and I
is granted," said I to him, and, at the same, ordered .
Manlius to have some soldiers with him, to super
inted the interment, lest it might be profaned. A
few days afterwards, the sepulchre was found empty.
The disciples of Jesus published all over the coun
try that he had risen from the dead, as he had
foretold.
| A last duly remained for me to, perform. It
! was to communicate to Cssar, the details of this
! deplorable event. I did it the same night that fol
lowed the fatal catastrophe, and had just finished
the communication when the *day began to dawn.
At that instant the sound of clarions playing the
air of Diana, struck my ear. Casting my eyes
toward the eastern gate. I beheld a troop of soldiers,
and heard at a distance, other trumpets sounding
Gesar's March. It was the reinforcement that had
b'*en promised ine ; —two thousand chosen.men, who,
to hasten their arrival, had marched all night. *• Jt
has been decreed by the Fates, 1 ' cried I. wringing
my hands. that the great iniquity should be ac
complished that, for averting the deeds of
yesterday, troops should arrive to-day ! Cruel des
tiny, how thou sportest with the affairs of mortals!
Alas! it was but too true, what the Nazarene ex
claimed when writhing on the Cross:— JsU is con
summated.
The Queen of England;
In the midst of the confusion of formidable news
bursting from- all sides, is it not amusing to read
under the head of Ghf?at BniTAix:—
Her Majesty, the Queen, is happily delivered of
a daughter."
It fprms a strange contrast with all these bewild
ering reports. Nothing is changed in England.
There is only one Princess more. The traditions
of the crown continue with an admirable regular
ity. Not the least trouble in the constitution of the
English royalties. The Queen does not reform a
single article of her conjugal j • tgramme. The gene'
ral conflagration; the universal wreck, do not work
the slightest variation in the regular course of this
periodic prod .ction. Across the revolutionary bul
letins, which part from all corners o r ihe political
horizon, one will always see, at a fixed date, and
rigorous term, the announcement: “The Queen is
happily delivered," &c.
Is not this one of the most remarkable facts of
our epoch. While the entire gentle sex are com
plaining of being misunderstood, disdained, wronged,
the Queen of England is the only woman in Eu
rope. who never fails in her rights—or her time.-
While all the crowned heads are seeing their
diadems fall, or feel them ’ tremble, when every
Sovereign power is struck down or menaced, Brit
tanic royalty alone knows how to maintain itself—
in an interesting state.
There is an article, written on the pages of the
human code, which orders the suspension of the
execution of every condemned woman, when she
is found in this position. At this day,, when all
Royalties are condemned, the Royality of England
is protected by the article in question. It is to
prevent the fatal event, doubtless, that it maintains
itself in this tutelary state, which continues almost
without interruption, and so as to leave no time in
its brief intervals for a revolution. The tactics
are skilful; but in this world, everything must be
exhausted, everything come to an end. The benefits
of nature have their limit. The Queen. Victoria
approaches her thirtieth year ; a half-score more of
princes‘orprinct:ises, and then the interesting posi?
tion ceasing to take place, England will have her
turn and bring forth a Revolution. So,, then, we
may predict that a Republic will be proclaimed at
London, in ten ox twelve years, at v latest,
the Queen shall have presented to the world her
last child.— Albany Jltlas.
