I know not whether you hate read Socrates and Plato; but this I know, that there it in your discourses, a aiajestie simplicity that elevates you far shore those great philosophers. The emperor is informed of i; and I, his humble repiesentatite in this country, am glad of hating allowed too that liberty of which you are an wolihy.' Howeter, I must nol conceal from you, that your dis courses have raised up against you power ful and inveterate enemies. 'Neither is this surprising. Socrates had his ene mies, and he fell a victim to their hatred. Yours are doubly incensed against yoo, on account of t our tayingt; against me, on account of the liberty extended toward you. Tdey eten accuse ine indirectly of being leagued with you for the purpose of depriving the Hebrews of the little r itil power which Rome has left to ihetn. My request I do not say my orders is, that you be more circumspect for the luture, and more lender in routine the pride of your enemies, lesl they raise up agatnsi y wu me stupid populace, and coinprl me la employ the instruments of jitsiire. The Nszsrine calmly replied: Prince nf the earth, your words proceed not front true isdnm. Say la the torrent lo stop in the midst of the mountain, because il will uproot the ireet of the valley; the t'irreiil will answer you. that it obey I the lawt of the Creator.

Your blood shall not be spilt,' rrplicd I, with emotion. "You are more precious in my estimation, on ac count of your wisdom, than all these turbulent and proud Pharisees, who abuse the freedom granted them bv Ihe Romans, conspire against Cssar, and construe our bounty into fear. Insolent wretches! they are not aware that the wolf of the Tiber sometimes clothes himself with the tkin of the sheep. I will protect you sgiiint them.

Herod Ciilial on me one day at the Paeioriuin; and on rising to lake 4eave, after tome insignificant conversation, he asked me what was my opinion concern ing the Nazarene. - 1 replied; thai Jesus appeared to me to bo one of .those grave philosophers that great nations sometimes produce; that his doctrine was by no means dangerous: and that the intention of Rome was, to Irara film that freedom of a perch hkh art jubfied by hit actions.

The city was overflow. in; with a tamultnous pnpalaee, clamor. in j lor the ceta o the Nazarena. Mr raiitaarira iitfnraied n.e that the ireaaore of iha Trmpte had been employed in bribing the people. The danger wss pressing. A Roman centurian had been insulted. I wrote to the Prefer! of Syria, request' ing a hundred font soldiers and the same number 4 cavalry. Hedet-Iine.i. I taw mytelf alntia with a handful of veterans in the midst of a rebellious city loo weak lo suppress disorder, and hating uo other choice Irft than to tolerate iu They had seized upon Jesus; and the seditious rabble, although they knew they had nothing to fear from the I'nturium, helieting on the faith of their leaders, that I w inked at their sedition, continued v cifersting Crucify him! crucify him!" Three powerful parties at that lime had combined-together against Jesus. First, the Ilerodians and the Sadducees, whose seditious conduct appeared to hate pro ceeded from double motive; they hated lite Nazarene, and were impatient of the Roman yoke. They could never forgive me for having entered their holy city with banners thai bore the image of iha Roman emperor; and although,- in this instance, I had committed a fatal error, yet the sacrilege did not appear less heinous in their eyes. Another grievance alto ran kled in their bosoms. 1 had proposed lo employ a pari of the treasure ol the temple io erecting edifices of public utility. My proposal was scoffed af. The Pharisees were the avowed eueroiet of Jesut. They carrd not for the Governor; but ! ihey bore w ith bitterness the severe repri mam msndt which the Nazarene had, during three years, been continually throwing out against them wherever he went. Too weak and inn pusillanimous lo act by themselves, they had eagerly embraced the qasr.-el of the Herudunt and SidJu eees. De.ides these three parties, I had to contend egainn the reckless and pro. fligate populace, always ready to join in a sedition, and lo profit by the disorder and confusion that result therefrom. Jesus was dragged before the Council nf the Priests, and condemned to death. Il wat then that the high priest, Caiaphas, performed a derisory act of submission He sent his prisoner lo me lo pronounce his condemnation, and secure his execu tion. 1 answered him that, as Jesus was a Gallilean, ihe affair came in Herod's jurisdiction, and ordered Jesus to be sent thither. The wily teiran-h pretended humility, and professing his deference lo the lieutenant of Cesar, be coinii.iucd the fate of the man to mv hands. Soon my palace assumed the aspect nf a besieged citadel; every moment increas ed ihe number of the seditious. Jerusa lem was inundated with crowd from the mountains of Nazareth. All Juilea ap peared lo be pouring into that devoted city. I had taken to wife a girl from among the Gauls w ho pretended to sre into futu rity. Weeping and throwing herself al my feet, Beware," aaid she lo me, beware end touch not that man, for he is holy. Last night I saw him in a vision; he was walking on ihe water; he was Hying on Ihe wings of ihe wind. lie spoke to the tempests, to the palm trees. to the fishes of the lake; all were obedient to him. Behold! the torrent of Mm.nt Ceilrnn flows with blood; the etatues of Cesar are soiled with the filtli of the gemonia:; the columns uf the Pretorium hate given way, and the sun is veiled in mourning like a vestal in ihe tomb! O. Pilaie! evil awaits thee. If thou wiltnni listeu to the words of thy wile, dread the frowns of Caesar! . , I5y this time my marble stairs granned ujxler the weight of the multitude. The Nazarene was brought back to me, I pro ceeded to the Hall of Justice, followed by my guards, and asked the people in a se vere .time, what they demanded'. "The death of tin? Nazarene,' was their reply. For w hat crime .He has traspheniedj he has prophecied ihe ruin of ihe temple; he calls himself ihe Son of God the Messiah the Kingofthe Jews. Roman Justice, said I,puniheth not uch offences with death. Crucify him! crucify him!" shouted forth the relentless rabble. The vociferations of the infuriated mul titude shook the palace to is foundation. One man alone appeared calm in the midst of the tumult. lie was like unto the st itite of innocence placed in the. temples of the Ruininides. It was the Nazarene. " Afar many fruitless attempts to protect him from the fury of his merciless perse cutors, I had the baseness to adopt a mea sure which, at that moment, appeared to be the only o::e that could save his life. I ordered htm to be scourged; then calling for a ewer, I washed my hands in the pre sence of the clamorous multitude, thereby signifying lo them my disapprobation of ihe deed. But iu vain. Il was his life that these writchet ihirsted after. Often, iu our civil commotions, hat I witnessed the furious animosity of the suuliitud; but nothing could ever be compared to what I beheld in the present instance. It might have been truly said that on thit occasion, all the phantoms of the infer, nal regions had assembled together at Jerusalem. The crowd appeared not lo walk; they were borne i-fTand whirled as a tor lex. rolling al.wg like litirg water, from the portal uf i he Pe ton um evra unto Mount Zion. with howling screams, shrieks, and vocifr rations, $vh as were never heard either in the seditious of Pa oionia, or in the tumult uf li e Forum, Br degrees the dly darkened like a whiter twilight, such as had been seen at the death of the great Julius Cesar. ' Il was likewise towards the idrs of March. I, the contemned governor of a rebellious provinre, was leai.tng against a column of my batilirk. contemplating athwart the dreary gloom, this Theory sf Tarta rus dragging lo execution' the inn.M-enl Nazarene AH around mn was a desert. Jerusalem had vomited forth her indwrh lers through the fuueral gate that leads lo the Gemnnic. An air of deflation and sadneas enveloped me. Mr guard had joined ihe cavalry, and the centurion, to display a shadow of powrr. was en deavoring to maintain order. 1 was left alone, and my breaking heart admonished me, that what waa parsing at that mo ment appertained rather to the history of ! Gods than lo that of man. Loud cla-j mours were heard, proceeding from Got gotha. which borne on the winds, appear ed l anuou.ice an agony; auch as never had been heard by mortal ear. Dark Hoods lowered over ihe pinnacle of Uiejin a eerv considerable ratio wod iiola- Temple, and large vultures settled over the city and covered it as w ith i veil.
