In the Historical Department this week, we present an interesting sketch from the graphic pen of Dr. H. Bonar, on the treading down of Jerusalem. As the utter humiliation of the poor Jew is pictured before us, we can scarce restrain our pity for him; but his self-imposed fate is inexorable. His blood be upon us and our children, said the crucifiers of the Prince of Life; and they were taken at their word; and Jerusalem under the dominion of the Gentiles, and the Jews wandering in every nation under heaven, a distinct people though so thoroughly scattered and dispersed, have stood forth since then, a striking monument of the truthfulness of the words of Him who predicted that such should be their fate because they knew not the time of their visitation.
