Lanah, A Tale Of The Flood.
still Lanah prayed , and listened to the instructions of his companion ; darkness overspread the earth , and morning still found the solitary penitent and Japheth kneeling on the mountain . The gloom of despair had disappeared , and the humbled Cainite , meek as a child , trembling yet with hope ,
awaited the approach of death . " Brother , " he exclaimed , " the bitterness of death is passed—' thou shalt behold a better world , arise , ' and teach it wisdom . I am going , praypray for my departing soul ! " His companion prayed aloud , and in a few moments the death-struggle was past .
Already had the waters covered the face of the earth , overwhelming its guilty race—the mountains and high places alone were visible : a lion , frig htened with the roar of death , and an eagle , whose tired wing had sought in vain for rest , rushed into the dwelling ; but , respecting the sanctuary of
man , fled from it and perished ; — the waters had overwhelmed the rocks and high places , reaching unto the level ofLanah ' s habitation . With a serene and unshaken faith Japheth prayed , the ark at last approached and received him in its refuge , leaving the remains of Lanah , his wife , and child , alone upon the rock of the dead .
