Forth from the city’s lofty gates, A sad procession, moving slow, Emerges where the Saviour waits lis wondrous power and love to show. A widowed mother’s only son, Her sole support, and comfort here, To rest with those whose toils are done, Was borne spon a humble bier. And she, poor soul, with anguish bowed, ‘Tending her loved one to the last, Was meckly following with the crowd, Iler strength and spirits failing fast. When Lo! the Lord of life came near, Moved by compassion strong and deep, With outstretched hand Ile staid the bier. And bade the widow cease to weep. The bearers watched with mute surprise, The sympathizing crowd stood still To see the dead young man arise, In proimpt obedience to His will. Again to speak, that silent tongue, Its former power at once assumed, The robes of dgath, aside were flung, The pallid check, its bloom resumed. Back to his mother, Jesus gave The Son, He did in love restore From the dark portals of the grave ‘To cheer her widowed heart once more, Then ye, who o'er your lost ones weep Trust in a risen Saviour’s love, Death is a brief, but tranquil sleep, Sweet foretaste of the rest above.

Doubtless in this tower are locked up treasures of gold and jewels, amassed in days of old, the spoils of mighty kings, the riches of the Pagau world. ~My coffers are exhausted; I have need of sup- ply; and surely it would be an acceptable act in the eyes of Heaven to draw forth this wealth which lies buried under pro- jane and neeromantic spells, and couse- crate it to religious purposes.” The venerable archbishop still continued to remonstrate, but Don Roderick heeded nol his counsel, for he was led on by his malignant star, ‘Father,’ said he, ‘it is in vain you attempt to dissuade me.
