Look around thee ! See decay
On her wings of darkness sweeping
Earth’s proud monuments away:
See the Muse of History weeping
O’er the ruins Time hath "made,
Strength in dust nod ImI,
Virtue in oblivion sleeping.
Look around thee! Wisdom there
Careless Death confounds with Folly,
In a common sepulchre ;
See the unrighteous and the holy
Blended in the generul wreck;
Well those tears may wet thy cheek,
Teurs of doubt and melancholy.
Look around thee I Beauty’s light
Is extinguished:—Death "assembles
Y'outh’s gay morn and age’s night,
And the steadfast mountain trembles
At his glance like autumn's leaf;
All, he cried, is vain, is brief,—
And the tyrant ne’er dissembles.
Look behind tliee ! Cities hid
In the night of treacherous story,
Many a ci umbling pyramid,
Many a pile of senseless glory,
Temples into ruins hurled,
Fragments of an earlier world,
Broken.fanes and altars lioary.
Look behind thee ! 5Ien whose frown
Made whole nations quake before them;
What is left of their renown ?
Wrecks around, oblivion o’er them !
Kings and conquerors, where are fhev ?
Ask yon worthless heaps of clay :
Oil*! despisd not. hut deplore them 1
Look behind thee 1 Bards sublime,
Smiling nymphs and solemn sages;
Go ! inquire their names of Time, ,
Bid it read its earliest pages;
Foolish questioner! if Fame .
Guard through years a cherished name.
Fame itself decays in ages I
Look before thee 1 All the glare,
All the pomp around thee glowing,
All that charms the eye or ear,
Strains of softest music Sowing,
Grace and beauty—ail are sped,
Towards the ruins of the dead,
Thither, thou and thine arc going'
Look before thee ! At yon vanlt,
Where Tinie’s'ravage is recorded,
Thou wilt be compelled to belt;
Thou wilt be no more regarded,
Than the weakest, meanest slave, »
Sleeping in a common gruve,
Uurcspccted, unrewarded!.
Look Ufore thee ! At thy feet
Monarchs sleep like meaner creatures;
Where the voices now so sweet,
Where the fair one’s smiling features ?
Ilop stthou to escape the tomb ?
That which was thy father's doom,
Will be thine—thy sou's—and nature’s I
Look above thee I There indeed
if thy fondest hopes are blighted,
There a stream cf comfort flows ;
There a sun of splendor glows—
,5Vunder, then, no more benighted.
Look above thee ! Ages roll,
Present, past’and future blending :
Earth hath nought to soothea soul
’Neath afflict.on’s burden bending: —
Nothing ’gainst the tempest’s shock ;
Heaven must be the pilgrim s rock,
And to hfaven his steps are tending.
Look above tliee ! Never eye
Saw such pleasures ns await tliee ;
Thought ne’eT reached such scenes of joy
As are there prepared to meet tliee :
Light undying—seraph’s lycra—
Angel welcomes—cjierub choirs,
Smiling through heuven’s doors to gfeet
thee!

I have used similitudes.’'—IIosza.
Once upon a time, far back in the
remote, Satin, the “Prince of the Power
of the Air,” called a council in Pande
monium. Lucifer himself, was seated
upon a throne of splendor, wearing
upon his brows a diadem of living fire,
while, from the gems with which it
was encrusted, flashed intolerable ra-
dianic. Myriads upon myriads of fal
len spirits, rank upon rank_of Princi
palities and Powers, and of those an
gels “which kept not their first estates,”
thronged to the hall of audience.—
Silent they sat in that illimitable hall,
which sulphurous flames lighted up,
while a lurid smoke hung like a eano-
ber, and bid millions to rot in dun
geons and chains. I will bring war
upon the earth, and amid the smoke of
buring cities, will teach men to rend
each other like wild beasts, till conti
nents shall reek with midnight massa
cre. I will call men together by hun
dreds and thousands, to .gash each oth
er with horrid wounds, and will make
them devilish engines, that in a second
shall blow whole squadrons into the
air. .Then shall they come, oh mas
ter, shrieking from the battlefields, to
beople thy dark dominions.
Scarcely, ’mid applause had the
fierce Moloch ended his speech, when
Belial arose ; the jairest seeming, but
withal, the subtlest of the fallen poten
tates. Graceful in form and move
ment, and of most persuasive aspect—
eloquent in speech;
“To make the worse appear
The better reason; anil perplex and dash
Maturest counsels ; for his thoughts were low,
To vice industrious, but to noble deeds
Timorous and slothful—yet, he pleased the ear.”
And thus he spake; Let me, the
spirit of Discord, rule the Earth, for
without me, war could never be. * I
will spread all false reports, and set
every man against his neighbor, and
darken the counsels of the nations, till
anarchy, and confusion, and ’ hatred
shall arise and fill the whole earth. I
wijl point the tongue of the slanderer
as a serpent’s tooth, and set his heart
on fire of hell I I will be the author
.of all evil counsels, and false witness-
ings, and fraud and secret malignity ;
till even good men, persecuted and torn,
shall doubt and deny that Jehovah
reigns, and die blaspheming, to coine
and dwell forever with tjje damned.
Let the dominion of the Eartli be mine,
0 Master, and thy realms shall be peo
pled with the souls of men.
Then Mammon arose,
“The meanest, and least erect
Of all the spirits that fell from heaven,”
who would not heed the' glories o’er
his head but on the golden pavements
qt his feet forever gazed.
“Listen unto me, O Satan, for thou
Jcnowest my power upon the souls of
men. Give me dominion over them,
and hell-shall never be empty. I will
make men lunatics rp^'frpl^mLsHnd-
burnings, to dig in the holes and cor
ners of the earth, ’mid savage beasts
and men more savage, for a few hands-
ful of yellow dust ? So intent shall
they be, sifting and grasping the paltry
! ore", that they shall forget the starry
| crowns that heaven offers them ; and
j fever and famine shall come and sweep
1 them like chaff from the threshing
floor, to the great burning. And even
' before their corpses are fairly stiffened,
their companions shall gather like vul
tures, to fight and gash each other for
the gold which the dead have left. I
too, will sharpen the assassin’s knife,
and help on the robber and the burglar.
All ties, however strong or holy, will
I break, and teach men to come and
worship me, though the path to my
altar shall be over bleeding hearts, no
ble aspirations, and all else that gives
a charm to the life of man. At nay
command, shall that glorious race,,
who were created “erect, to look upon
the stars,” blot the divine signet of high
intelligence from their brows, and fet
ter and confine their mighty spirits,
till they become dwarfs, that they may
do my bidding. I will whisper in the
ear of the young maiden, in the pride
of her beauty, and straightway shall
she forget her plighted vows to the
youth who loves her and leave him
heart-broken to die ; and though sick
ened with disgust, she shall go to the
altar, and wed 'the gray haired wretch
who hath heaped up gold. Nay, men
shall bow down and*do him reverence,
and call him wise, an l good, and great,
though every piece of gold he owns is
stained with blood, or wiungfrom the
hand of want by eruelty and oppres-
"”'fffenunYose"Satan born to rale,-^etf-nscomemnitualed,hlmmhi.U.iu-iu
shall fall in the streets, and houses be
filled with the dead and dying, and
none shall be left to bniy them. Dogs
shall howl through the vacant streets
without a master; in the palaces and
temples, the owl and the raven shall
build their nests, and the ships rot
down sailorless; and all the sons of
men, destroyed by me unwarned, will
T BAnd to thoo oa a tribute. Be mine
the task to rule the Earth for thy glory
and for mine.
Loud rang the plaudits, as the fiend
sat down, and the rest obsequious,
gave place, not doubting that Apollyon
should be ruler of the Earth. The tu
mult was hushed, and all waited with
intent, their great Master’s decision;
when suddenly, from a beetling cliff,
far out in the burning lake, arose a
blue lambent flame—which while they
gazed, took shape; a horrid shape,
and stood before tiie assembled fiends.
It. was clad in vesture, wet with,
blood; the gore hung heavy from its
matted locks, and the fiercest fires of
hell shot from its burning eye-balls.
Even Satan started and turned pale
with fear, and Hell shrank back with
horror.
“Ha! Ye fear me, then,” hissed the
liorri l monster. “Well might ye fear,
were I not a friend and an ally. But
thou knowest me not, O Satan, for I
am an earth born spirit, and have long
hid myself—aye, for a thousand years
—but now come to offer service and
allegiance, and to claim the offered
prize. Fear not but listen, and let me
be ruler of the Earth, for none hath
power like me, in all the dark domin
ions.
Molock and Belial and Mammon,
and Apollyon promise much, but they
shall be nay servants and subalterns.
Their power is weakness compared to
mine. O listen, till I tell thee of my
strength, and how I will wield it. My
shapes and names are legion, and I
change them at will, so that men shall
olttimes hug me to their bosoms as an
angel of light. I will be the greatest
of all hypocrites and deceivers, betray
ing ever with a kiss, when my only aim
is ruin. I will be the patron and sole
and her paths unto the dead.” And I
will throw open her portals, bring the
very flower of manhood to blight and
shame and everlasting contempt.
On every foot.of eartli and sea will
I follow my victims. Where discord
and anarchy prevail, there will I be;
where eruelty is, there will I come,
and burn out from the hearts of man
every vestige of mercy till they be
come fiends incarnate, and devise un
imaginable horrors. I will stand be
neath the gallows-tree, and even while
the death-rattle is in the throat of the
criminal, will drive men to robbery ?.nd
murder. I will lie in wait in the
streets of cities, and plan the midnight
fire and assassination. I will plunge
my victims into prisons and hospitals;
I will steep them in poverty and deg
radation to the very lips; I will cast
forth their families to. want and wintry
winds, and the babe shall perish in its
mother’s arms, with its tears frozen to
ice-drops upon her bosom. I will turn
the dagger of the husband against the

less in evil as in power, and thus
spake.
Princes and Potentates, who do my
bidding, and who best serve me when
most yet thwart the Almighty, listen.
Ye know we have tried our subtlest
wiles upon the race of men. But so
hedged in are they by holy influence?,
and watched over by good angels sent
from above, that we can scarcely de
stroy a single soul. ’1 herefore, most
noble chiefs, have I called you togeth
er to take counsel of vour wisdom how
we may best ruin mankind while they
dwell upon the earth, and most surely
afterwards bring them to this pit of
woe. Speak ye, each his mind, and
to him who shall give wisest counsel,
and offer strongest means to effect this,
our royal purpose, I will give the do
minion of the earth and a seat at my
right band forever.
Thus spake the fiend, and hell, to
its inmost centre, resounded with ap
plause.
Then up rose Moloch, “horrid long,
besmeared with blood of human sacri
fice, and spake. “ O chief of many
throned powers, that led the ebattled
seraphim to war,” I claim the oftered
prize. I am the spirit of cruelty,
f hardened the heart of the first mur
derer. Give me dpminiou over the
Twill, sharpen the assassins
looking cautiously around in tear of
robbery, shall open his ironchesr, ana’
count over each glittering coin, and
hug it to his heart and worship it. bo
shall he live a curse to his fellows and
to himself, and when the death an.'el
comes, he shall clutch theyellow dross
in his sjcinny hands, and cue, and come
with all my votaries,’and make his bed
in hell. ,
' Thus spake Mammon, and us he
paused, Satan “grihned horribly, a
ghastly smile” upon his servant.
Then up rose the fierce Apollyon,
the Destroyer, and spake thus:
O thou Arch-ruler of the dainneci,
listen unto me ! The volcano, the av-
lancne, the earthquake, the pestilence
and famine are mine. Be it mine to
rule tiie Earth. I will pour down
boiling lava from the mountain tops,
burning up the fruits of the earth, and
overwhelming the thronged cities, with
all their wealth and people, in the
twinkling of an eye. I will hurl the
avalanee from the glacier’s crest, upon
the slumbering village. I will dry up
the springs, and send hail and blight
and mildew upon the fields; and strong
men, and women, and tender caildren,
shall go forth and creeping tmnei tue
leafless hedges, shall faint and die oi
famine. I will send the earthquake,
and he shall “smack his mumbling lips
when lie swallows up a city—and the
smoke, and desolation brood over the

ruins. I will point the son s.

and vengeance are, I will rouse their
fury to ten-fold rage, and blot from tlm
soldier’s breast the last vestige of hu
manity. The incendiary’s torch shall
be my banner; the crackling flames of
burning villages, and the shriek of
murdered innocence, the music of my
march! ’
Pestilence shall follow me as a shad-
; and I will open unto him the-
gates of a million dwellings, which elso-
liad been secure. I will spread famine
and disease even in the lands-of plenty
and health, and will seal up the eyes
of all iny victims so that they shall not
see nor know that their next plunge is
into perdition. I will sweep whole
continents of their inhabitants; and.
o-ive woes and sorrows and “wounds
without cause” to the whole race of
man. Yet, whosoever is wounded by
me, shall seek me as hid treasures to
be wounded yet again. I will bind
upon their brows the iron, crown ot
suffering, burning with hell-fire, that
shall scortch and sear and eat into their
brain and heart and soul, yet shall they
fall down and worsbp me, and, for my
sake, part with houses and lands, aua
wife and children, and hope and hear-
