as a House of Maintenance for Converted Jews._

"VITA CRUCEM," &c. _We have to apologise for having mislaid the copy of the
following distich, requesting a translation as well as the authorship of
it:_
"Vita crucem, et vivas, hominem si noscere velles,
Quis, quid, cur, cujus passus amore fuit."
_Which may be literally translated, _"Shun the Cross, that you may live, if
you would know Him aright, Who and what He was, why and for love of whom He
suffered."_ These lines seem to be a caveat against the adoration of the
material Cross, and were probably composed during the domination of the
fanatics in Cromwell's time, when that redoubtable Goth, Master William
Dowsing, demolished whatever was inscribed with the Cross, whether of
brass, marble, or other material.--Our Correspondent will find the line,
_"A falcon towering in his pride of place,"_ in _Macbeth_, Act II. Sc. 4._
OUR EIGHTH VOLUME _is now bound and ready for delivery, price 10s. 6d.,
