'One evening a royal form was seen walking on the terrace of his palace, and lookhig offupon the magnificent city at his feet.. As his eye swept round the circuit of'the walla, fifty miles in circumference, and three hundred and fifty feet high, and saw their hundred lofty gates of brass flashing in the sunbeams, and the hanging girdeas suspended nearly four hundred feet in'the heavens, loaded with shrubs and waving trees, and sparkling with foun tilitut that leaped from beneath gayly dec orated arches. and below on the wil derness of palaces and dwellings at his feet, - his lips murmured, uls not this great Babylon that I have built by the might of my power and for the honor of my majes ty I" And well he might indulge in vain boaating, and believe that nought but an earthquake that should sink the land could shake the city of his pride Those melt sive walla, broad enough for eight or ten carriages to drive abreast upon them, rose higher than the loftiest spired our land, till the clouds seemed to rest on their sum mit, while around a deep ditch was sunk filled by the Euphrates. Twenty-five gates of brass upon each of the four sides, with strong towers between, bade defiance to mangonel or battering ram. while the boldint might shrink from scaling those slippery heights. Fifty streets, each a hupdred and, fifty feet broad and fifteen miles long. went from gate to gate. lined wish palaces and temples and towers, and creamed' with arches.

It is a night of festivity, and the bite child's song and shout ring through the crowded etreets of Babylon. Around her ancient towers, the reeling multitude cry hosannu to their gods. Wine flows like water, and lust and revelry walk the streets unchecked. In a magnificent palace, apart from the tumultuous crowd, the king is feasting a thousand of his lords. It is a gorgeous room. column within column, arch above arch, long corridors, magnifi cent, statues, costly hangings, leaping foun tains, and an endless profusion of orna ments combine to form a scene of such dazzling splendor that the unaccustomed spectator is bewildered and lost in its midst. It is illuminated by lights from golden candlesticks, beneath whicl‘ is spread a table loaded with golden vessels. Princes and nobles, wives and Mistress es, arrayed in splendid apparel—women whose beauty out-dazzles the splendor that surrounds them,—men of high renown —the gay, the voluptuous, and the proud are there, making the arches jing with their songs of revelry and shouts of mirth. Ever and anon come bursts of music, now swelling triumphantly out-through the am plitude, and now dying away in soft and lulling cadences, while the perfume from burning censers is wafted in clouds over the intoxicated revellers. At length the king, excited with wine, exclaimed, " Bring forth the vessels of gold that were taken from die Hebrews' tem ple ; " and the servants brought them in. Gorgeous vessels they were, and as they stood upon the table covered with sacred emblems, and made holy by their dedica tion to the God of heaven, they seemed to rebuke those who were about to profane them. But they only laughed,and filling them up with wine, drank confusion to the God of Israel, and " praised their gods of gold.and silver and brass and stone." In the midst of their sacrilege, just as their mirth and madness had reached the high est point, there "came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote upon the plaster of the wall." The sudden flash of that illu minated hand out-dazzled the brilliancy of • the lighted room, and as the slowly-mov ing fingers silently traced the letters of fire before their eyes, terror and dismay fell on the revellers. The startled monarch • turned paler than the marble beside him, the untested goblet fell from, his land, and his knees emote together. Those loudest in their mirth suddenly grew silent as death; the seductive look became solemn and anxious,—the music stopped in the midst of its joyous burst, and stillness, bro ken only by the half-suppressed shriek; of the fainting, or the tremulous sigh of utter fear, reigned through the vast apartment. When the dread line was finished, the fin ger still pointed voicelessly to it, saying in language more impressive than the loudest thunder, " READ THY DOOM." Oh ! what a sudden change had passed over that hall of riotous mirth ; every mouth was sealed, every eye was fixed, and the upturned faces of the throng wore a ghastly hue in the light of that blazing hand and those let ters of flame. At length the king broke the silence, and cried aloud for his astrologers and wise men to read the mysterious writing for him. They gazed and turned away be wildered and terrified. Then Daniel, one of the Hebrew captives who had been brought a mere boy from Jerusalem, but had grown into favor with the monarch's father, interpreted his : dreams and foretold his doom—.was brought in. Turning to those fiery letters written in his native lan guage, he slowly read, "Mertz MEND nrua.astx." Then looking steadfast ly on the trembling, pallid king, he unfold ed his crimes before him, and pointing a bove to the God he had scorned, whose mandates he had trampled under foot, he read aloud the doom written there in let ters of fire on the walls of his own palace: "God bath numbered thy kingdom and finished It," for "thou art weighed in the balances and found wanting : thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians." He turned away and scarcely had the echo of his footsteps died along the silent when a'dfitant murmer, like tlib far off sound of bunting billows, arose o ver the city. It was not the tramp and shout of the drunken multitude. Skies sounds than the hirrahe of revellers, and steadier footsteps than those of reeling men commingled there-'—tiu; battle cry of char ging thouenn4B, and dm , measured tread of an army moving to battle. The Euphrates had been turned trod Its channel ; and in demeath the ponderous pies that closed' over its waters, the l'easian host had en tared, and were no* pouring in countless numbers through the streets. In a 1110+ inent jhe vast city was in an uproar, and from limit to limit rvng the try of 4ito arms, to arms," and trumpets pealed and banners 'waved, mud swords clasjted, while shouts and ehrieks swelled the tumult that, gather ing force at every step, now rolled like huuder up to the very gates_of the palace. The streets ran blood ; and borne back be fore the steadily advancing foe, the weary and mangled fragments of the royal army made a last stand,' at the palace gates of OETT.:II - 3E . 11G,'. • ?A.,:r.gt,i)4l * ,fy...Avq.., :4;#:P..P.!,t;.;,xj!iti1..,:;:',!;.....i.,..,. their master. Ile too turned at bey, and throwing himself amid his guard, made one brave effort for hie throne. Overborne and trampled under foot, he soon fell amid his followers and the excited, conqueror* streamed through the royal apartments.-- They entered the hall of the revellers; and the sacrilegious fell where a Moment be fore they had shouted for their_gods. The wine goblets mill stood on the table, and the perfume still filled the room, but the hand-writing bad dbrappeared, for its de nouncing wee had been fulfilled. The il luminated and gorgeous apartment—the throng of princely feasters--the hand and characters of fire—the battle and the slaughter had succeeded each other with frightful rapidity, and now the silence of death succeeded all. Overlie sickning scenes of that terrible night we draw the veil of oblivion. A vast and thronged city taken by storm and gi ven up to rapine and lost is ; one of the few spectacles that make us abhor our raze.— But Babylon had fallen, and her glory gone for ever. In a few years a magnificent ruin was all that remained of her former splendor.- Vilikbeasts and reptiles swarm ed through her ancient palaces—the owl hooted in the presence chamber of kings, and the vampyre flapped his wings in the apartments once occupied by the beautiful and the proud. Her strong towers and battlements slowlycrumbled back to thier original dust, and silence and desolation reigned, where once the hum of a mighty population had sounded. The dust of the desert has long since covered the very ruins, and the Arab now carelessly spurs his steed over the foundations of the for mer glory of the world. Turn back your eye for a moment a hundred years before this great overthrow. On the 'the hills of Palestine stands a man whose prophetic eye pierces the future, and whose tongue of fire proclaims ifi language that thrills the blood, the coming_ doom of Babylon, the mistress of the world.* He sees his - people carried away captive by her—Teruselem laid in heaps—the Ho ly Temple plundered of her treasures, and the God of his fathers held in derision.— As he contemplates all this. and then looks beyond and sees the day of vengeance, his soul tak,ps fire, and he pours forth in the loftiest strains of poetry that sublime ode which has no equal on earth. A chorus of Jews first come forward and sing their astonishment at the overthrow of their op pressor. How hath the oppressor ceased ! the golden city ceased ! "When the whole earth breaks forth into singing," and the fir-trees and cedars of Lebanon join the anthem, shouting,"since thou art !aid low no feller is come up against us." The scene then changes to the regions of the dead, and by the boldest figure ever introduced into poetry, the long line of the departed monarchs of Babylon are each made to start from his sepulchre, where they have reposed in ghastly rows for a m, and as they move towards the mouth of the gloomy cavern to welcome the last of their race, they chant to the fallen king, "Hell from beneath is mov e d t o me et th ee at thy coming—it stirreth up the dead for thee, all the chief ones of the earth 1 it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations." "Art thou," they exclaim in derision "become weak as we I Art thou become like unto us t Thy pomp is brought down to the grave—the worm !is spread under thee and the worms cover thee." This funereal and scornful wel -1 come being over, the peopleof God again . 1 break in with the triuphant apostrophe, . 1 "How art thou fallen from heaven, oh La -1 eifer, son of the morning I how art thou out down do the ground that did'st weak '. en the nations I" A hundred years before the downfall of this net empire, while Babylon ruled thi world, was this sublime and prophetic ode sung by Isaiah. The skeptic may deride the prophecy, but he ca n not escape the of fee tof the sublime Lagiguage in which it was uttered. The opening of Byron's great ode to Napoleon is a weak imitation, or rather poor paraphrase of it. • : "Tie done--but yesterday a his, And armed with kiwp 10, strive, And now thou art a plumb!. thins 89 ableetc—Vot alive I Is this tho tnan of thousand throne* Who animal bur esti* with hostile bowl, And can he thus survivent , Since he miscalled the Moulins Star, Nor man, r♦or !feud hath fallen so •Yid.
