Tilly dauntless zeal the roaring nuindefi2s;

The darling son the widoW!s soul &pitied,
lier matron bosom eas'd of dire alarms,
And have the youth to her despairing arms,
'Tis thine to plunge into 'the bloati.ng
Clasp the swoll'n frame, and thaw the frozen blood;
Breathe in the lips r-animating fire,
Till, warm'd to SECOND La FE, the nitow A'D respire.

What sounds ascend of gratitude arl love
Now with the GA EA; REDEEMER'S praise they glow,
Then bless the agents of his power below;
Nay: sprung to life, the renovated band,
joyful, before their second Saviours stand;
And, oh ! far sweeter than the breathing spring, •
Fairer titan Paradise, the wreaths they bring !
.The blissful homage rescu'd friends impart ;
Th' enraptur'o incense of a parent's heart ;
D'er-aw'd, and wond'ring at themselves, they sex
The magic power of soft FlumaN IT Y !" •

On Saturday last the following shocking event
took place in a house in Stangatc-street. Them aid
servant came down stairs to do her work about six
o'clock in the morning ; and having occasion to go
into the back parlour, she saw a female, undressed,
lying out her length with her throat cut, and a razor
lying at some distance. Struck with horror, she
itn-
mediately ran into the stret;t, and called-for assist-
ance. A Gentleman from over the way, hearing
the maid, immediately went into the house to s_ee
what wAs the matter, and on examination they soon
found that this unfortnnwe female was the mistress
of the house, who was already quite cold, and rip:-
peared to have been dead for some time. Her hus-
band was in the house and in bed, at the time the
alarm was_given.
