Mary arose from (he crimson pillovvson which she Imil been reposing, and approaching the window, drew buck, with a silken rope, the heavy draperies of purple inwrougut wit gold which shaded ihe aparunent from ihe dnecl rays of the sun, and g tzed with a thoughtful brow out on the quiet stieetsofthecity ol Nam. Beyond the walls lay the sea, whose waters re flected back to Heaven the thousand resplen dant lights and.shadows scattered along the western horison by the flashing rays of the setting sun, and in the far distance, like a streak of gray clouds, lay the mountains of Judea.—- Many a shallop, richly layden, was gliding over the still waters; some bound outward, Weight ed with rich dyes and stuffs of Nazareth; some coming into port hearing treasures ol gold and jewels irom distant lands; others with costly silks and line paintings,—poliished mirrors of steel’and silver, and pearls and wrought ivory from Ihe lonian isles. The chant of the oars men, as their oars splashed lazily in the glow ing waters, ‘came faintly and sweetly on the ear, and the white sails scarcely swelling in the breeze, looked like saffron tinted clouds. Then came steading and chirping on the siiil nessof the vesper hymns of the birds, and blend ing as they did with the gradually decreasing hum of the city us the e.euiog mist brooded over it, they were sounds which shed over the spirit of Mary Magdalene a something like peace. A baud of young and beauions maid ens now tripped along with jars filled, from the purest well in the city ; then came a crowd of children dancing to the cymbals and iuies, and i trailing after them long vines of flowers and in terwoven wreaths, and sending out their joy ous laughter and sounds of mirth which well accorded with the sweet harmony of music. Mary Magdalene turned her eyes weasily aw ay from those tokens of peace and joy, and leaning her head gainst a pillar, wept. - A i low sweet voice her, singing an old i Jewish song which told in sad poetry the tale jof a broken heart. The singer was a young and lovely giil just bju/ihing into the morning of life, her skin like polished ivory, save where a rose !ijj,V flushed her checks and dyed the tips of hwr taper fingers. Her large blue eyes were cast downwards, and the full red lips just parted enough to reveal two rows of pearl like teeth; her exquisitely formed arms and bust, combined with a slight and graceful fig ure, now half hidden by a profusion of sunny hair, whi :h fell back from her sad childish forehead, ami swept the Mosaic pavement, completed the beautiful picture. Mary started as the voice told her, her slave had been a wit ! ness to he- emotion, and raising her magnifi- cent form to its utmost height, while her com manding black eye flashed with anger, oxclam ed. “ I hou here ! away slave ! how dost thou (lure see me weep ?” • ’ The limed voice was stifled, and the fair young head bowed in silent e and tears. Alter gai/.ing on the young maiden a few moments, during which short space, anger, contempt, mid an expression of mysterious bitterness, alter nately changed her countenance, the touching and beautiful gi ief of Addi moved her better spirit and chased away every feeling except pity. “Come hither, Addi, come hither,” poor bird. Forgive thy mistress’s wayward mood, and sing again,—but sing something to enlighten mv heart, for it is heavy and sad, child, —sing something lo stir the still fountain of gladness,—sing,—sing Addi,—is not thy cage a gdded one, —then wherofore sad and silent I” “The star that lit my path, ludy, is gone out. Znnii, the widow’s son is dead.” “Hal dead ? poor child I pitty thee I—Vet, Addi, come hither ; I would tell thee, maiden, lo cherish a love for tlie dead, —let it not go out, and leave liiy heart, like the waters of thut sea whose sullen waves cover those olden cities which were destroyed in their might und glory by Jehovah. Thou hast heard of the fruits which grow on its banks V’ “Yea, Lady.” ‘ Let love for Ihe dead go out, and thou will become like, —like,—ine, —yes, Addi. me,— benuuf 1 and bright to the eye, but within bit terness and—ashes ! hut hark I” “Oh, lady,” sobbed the .young slave, —“Hint sound of grief is the wail of Zintri’s mother and kinsmen, —they are hearing him past to the grave,”—and Addi rushed to the window, and straining her eyes through the misty twi light, saw the bier on which was laid the dead body of Zimri, und over it the bending form of his widowed mother, weeping ; and by the torches light which they carried, the sorrowful faces of his kinsmen.” “They arecomitig, lady,” she cried to Mary, who had thrown herself again on tlie crimson pillows of Iter couch, —“Oh, Zimri, is that still form never more to move ? IVleihinks, I see now the smile on it s white lips, and the wavos of his shining hair on his gentle brow. See, lady! Ihev are beneath tho window, and the pall has fu 1 n so closely around him that you can see the beauty of his form even in death ha! why do they slop ?—a crowd approach es,’ who, —what,—aha ! it is the Prophet, Jesus, and his followers I” Mary started from her recumbent posture, and throwing back the tresses of long black h .ir which hud fallen like a veil around her, with a look of iutence anxiety gazed on the face of Addi, who unheeding her mistress’s emotion, continued,—“He is like one of our mountain palms in his majesty,—his brow is like the evening star, and his serene lips drop honey. He approaches the widow, —he looks on her tears with eyes of tender pity,—he speaks,—lie raises Ins fare towards Heaven, and readies lorlli Ins hand und lays it on th dead. God of tny fathers ! the dead!”—und with a loud and pieicmg shriek, she rushed forth mto the sir ets. Mary s.arted up with an expression of dread i and woodor, and looking down on the crowd | below 1 s;/'A tire, youth uri ing from hS bier at! toe command of Jesus. She saw him, with the warm breath of life in his nostrils, who a few I moments pa and was dead and cold. And as the shouts from the a.semb.cd people rent the air. many of whom w ere now willing lo behove on und worship him who had wrought the miracle, he Imvved ins head meekly on Ins bosom and gathered the hods of his garment around lifin, g.iued noiselessly away from the multitude. ♦ * * * ♦ After long hours of abstraction, Mary lifted her head Irom her osoin, and approaching a mirror, folded her arms, and gaized on her im age with an expression of scorn and bitterness ; anon tears coursed over Iter flushed cheeks, her bosom heaved us if some pet t up agony wrung her heart. “Why art thou weeping? said a voice near Iter, “jghy art thou weeping, Mary ?” “Ha! PheJon ?” ’ “Aye, Pfielon,” he awewered, ‘Phelon, the king’s son, who abides here in the common garb of a publican, to be near thee.” “Go to thy’’ father's pithice again, Phelon,” answered Mary, sadly, and without turning lo look on the beautiful youth, with his brown curling hid and dark bliap eyes, which gained wait incredulous wonder on her. “Mary,” said he, “thou art angered with me,— I came but to bring a parting gift, Mary. My father is wroth against rite because I am not at the head of his soldery, and hath sent his chief officer to bring me to his pr-sence ; but 1 will go out of the city to night, while he sleepeth, and ere the fiist watches ofthe morn ing Phelon wfll be on his war horse with hel met and battle spear and plume, and ready for the fight.” Her lips quivered and pitied as she turned and looked on him, and her voice was plain tive as she replied,—“Go, Phelon! thou art bright and beautiful in mine eyes, and verily have i loved thee; but go, I pray never more to see that face again,—l pray never more to hear the words of thy silvery and honeyed tongue again,—l have sinned, —go from me.” He looked steadfastly and s'ernly on her whileshe spoke, and with a searching glance, said,—“Hast thou seen the Nazarene whocall cth himself Jesus?” ■ “1 have,” she answered calmly,—“and to morrow while thou art going to battle, I shall i fie kneeling in the dust at his feet.” Phelon laughed tauntingly, and turning on his iron heel, replied: “Look on my gift, Mary,”—and he laid un exquisitely wrought casket at her feet. The light from the scented lamp, which threw up ! ward delicious odours from its silver pedestal, shone down on the inUvior of the casket, and glittered an tho gold and precious stones that were therein, in mauy-hued sparkles of bril liance. There was also an alabaster box set round with jewels, which contained spikenard and ointment, such as queens used. “Hence, tempter,” she shrieked, —“hence . or I will send thy name out on the ears of the sleepers of Nainlike- lenfoW thunder. Hence, I say, for the devils whitfh tear tny soul are raving within me!” , . , Unaccustomed to her stiange mood, he left the apartment hastily. Bhe threw herself prostrate on the door, and pressed her burning forehead against the cold marble, and writhed and wept, and sorrowed mightily,—for might ily had the Magdalene sinned. > When she arose from her bumble posture, it. was past the imdd>3 wakh of tho .'Mgbt, and the inhabitants of the city had gone to rest, and ail was silent aye the watch cry of the sentinel as he passed the wall, and the occasional clamour of his armour as he changed from h.ini ‘o. hand his heavy spear.

A costly robe oferimson, confined arofl'® the waist by a girlde in-wrought with precious stones, fell in rich folds around her voluptuous form, and the long black braids of hair, which, when unconfined, swept the floor us she stood, were gathered up in plaits and curls, nnd se cured by bodies of gold, and strings of rubies and pearls. Her arms, bared almost to the shoulders, were entwined with links of pre cious stones und silver, and as she paced with a rapid sted to und fro the apartment, the con stant glitter of her feet displayed a costly taste in her sandals, which were embroidered with tiny pearls and gems, and fastened by clasps of highly polished silver. She looked out on the heavens,—peaceful and bright in their glory of azure and silver,—then scanned with a rest less eye the calm landscape below, —all were at resi, tho very dogs hud ceased haying at the moon, and were slumbering quietly in their chains. She turned and gnzedround her npnri tnent, —the singing birds were sleeping with their glossy heads behind their wings, undis- turbed by the fountain which bubbled from the ntarhle Inver, nnd trickled down its sides with a ringing sound. Addi, the beautiful one, was dr. anting of Zitnri, for there was a tear steal ing over the roses of her smiling cheek. No where that she turned, could Mary sen or hear aught to still the agonies which lore her heart. She snatched her harp, and com menced many soothing melodies, but her (hi; gets trembled nnd her hand fell along tho chords, and crushed the music; that was thrown aside, and crossing her arms over Iter bosom, site lifted her pallid face, and closing her eyes as if to shutout every object which hud grown familiar, sat like some breathless statue, await ing the touch of Promothcnn fires to start it in to life; but soon iter breast began to heave, and her white ghastly teeth were pressed on her lips until the red blood gushed from beneath them, —she threw her arms on high, and with a cry of anguish cast herself on her kneesin all the dispuiring sorrow of a repentance like hers. She tore front her liairthe gents which fell like a shower of glory around her, and trampled beneath her feet the casket of precious jewelry, until the floor was trewed with its rich con tents, and bcut her bosom in her agony, und sprinkled ashes on her head, and wept tears such as.had never swelled up from her heart before. Addi, who had been awakened by the unre strained grief of her mistress, ran and knelt at her feet, and clasped her knees, and compre hending well from her expressions the cause of her woe, exclaimed, —“Go to Him, —goto Hint who raised tho dead !” “And wherefore, O maiden, should I, the sinful go to him ?” “Oh, Lady ! if the sleeper in the shadow of death beareth His voice, thy spirit can hear it ; —and to hear it is to love.” The mild and consoling words of Addi, a# she told of what she had seen nnd heard at the raising of the widow’s son, and of what the ’ liscrp.es preached daily, soothed Mary’s trou- I spirit; and something like hope of event ■ :al peace sprung up in her heart; und she laid her Itead gradually on the bosom of her hand maiden, who clasped her beauteous arms aron id her, and laid her cool innocent cheek on the burning, throbbing brow of Mary. And thus the two sat, —one breathing hopes of for giveness, Ihe other listening as if life hung on each word, until day began to dawn behind thy blue hills. On that day, while the Master sat at meat with Simon, a rich and learned Phari see of Nuin, a woman, came and knelt at his feet, und bending her veiled head low to the floor, watered them with her tears, and un binding her hair, wiped them witli the heavy shining curls, then kissed His feet, and anoint,- ed them with ointment, the perfumes of which filled the vast room. And Me knew that she was a sinner who thus humbly and silently asked for a pardon, and said, —“Thy s ns, which arc many, are forgiven thee, —thy tailh has saved Ihee,— go in peace.” Mary Magdalene was no more seen in Naim After kneeling at the Saviour’s feet, nnd hear ing his assutance offorgiveness, she sold her gold and silver, and gems, and gave much goods to ttlspoor. She was nr> more seen in Nuitt in the flashing glory of her beauty, blit went forth alone into the wilderness; atm 3 W the solemn solitude of its silence, raised an al rtar to Him who had forgiven liersins. B. Eternity. —When creation began, we knew not. There were angels, and there was a plac e of angelick habitation, before the creation of man and of the world destined for his resid ence; and even among these pure spiritual essences, there had been a rebellion, and a fall. How long these spirits had existed, and how many oilier orders of being besides, it is vain for us to conjecture; for conjecture could lead to nothing surer than itself. But of one thing we are certain : that, how far back soever we suppose the commencement of creation car ried, let it be, not only beyond the actual range (if a definite range it can beaaid to have) of the human imagination, but even beyond the greatest amount of ages that figures, in any way combined could be made to express; still there was an eternity preceding—an eternity, from which this unimaginable and incomput able duration has made not the minutest dc- diiction; for it is the propci ly of eternity, that it can neither be lengthened by the addition, nor shortened by the subtraction, of the long est possible periods of time. Before the com mencement of creation, therefore —before the fiat of Omnipotence which gave being to the first dependent existence, and dated the begin ning of time—in infinite and incomprehensible solitude, yet, in the boundless self-sufficiency of his blessed nature, feeling no want and no . dreariness—Jehovah had, from eternity, exist ed alone! One of our neighbors, who is oftentimes particularly thirsty, accounted for the fact on the ground that he was weaned on salt fish! “Do make yourselves at heme ladies,” said a female “to her visitors, one day. “I’m at home myself, and wish you all were.” Extensive Drtam. —Tbs editor of the N.
