Daring Outrage Letters by the
Northern Mail, which did not arrive till
a late hour last evening, confirmed the
distressing intelligence of the mansion
house Of Gen. Van Rensselaer,, as stated
in our paper Of yesterday. The particu-
lars Of this barbarous outrage, as given in
the following extract, were related to us
yesterday morning; but they appeared
too atrocious to be creditable, and as
there had been much political excitemen,
in relation to General Van Rensse laer's
appointment, we did no, feel ourselves
authorized to give currency to the re-
port.
Extract of letter from Albany to the Editors
ofthe Statesman, dated Feb. 18TH.
This morning, at half past 2 clock,
the mansion-house of General Solomon
Van Rensselaer,, on his farm, in Bethle-
hem, was destroyed by FIRE. 1t was
most unquestionably the work Of incen-
diaries. His son, who slept in room
of the building, was awakened by the
noise Of three men in the room, aud the
fumes Of the smoke. The men attack

ON GAMING.

There rs no state OF the human mind
more contemplate, or more to be pilied
than tha; which can Gndno entertainment
in itself, none in books, none in rational
conversation, none i'll the intercourse Of
real friendship, none in ingenious works
Of any kind; but is continually seeking
to stil!e reflection IN tumult ofpleasures
and TO divert WEAKNESS in crowd OF IN
venting some method Go use the empha-
lical words of certain author) to "kil
time. p The sinful practice OF gaming,
is frequently resorted TO for this pur-
pose by the deiuded. sons OF apathy and
idleness. A practice indeed so la.aen,a-
bly, prevalent in many Of our cities and
villages, that it not only merits public
aninadyersion BUT loudly calls for the in
fterposi,ion of the magistracy. Nothing
/ believe has more unhappy tendency
to corrupt the morals of mankind, than
gaming as it derives its principles from
motives Of avarice. and the meane sol
human passions; and prompts to nothing
in its practice, but the most criminal
vices. 1tnot only depraves the worthiest
affections of our natures, aud furnishes all
those exquisite feelings which dignity
our species, but it also often pervertsthe
best undertakings, annihilates every vir-
tue of the heart in those who resign
themselves to its influences. But not
withstanding all these pernicions con-
sequences, it is SO strongly predominant,
that with many it is in fact calling; and
as witty author has observed, "a la
borious one too" since they toll day and
night at it, and do not allow themselves
that remission, which the laws, both OF
God and man, have provided for the
meanest mechanic. The sabbath to
them is no day Of rest; but this trade
goes on when all the shops are shut.
/" know not" continued he, Show they
satisfy themselves in such a habitual
waste Of their time, but | much doub,
whether that plea, whatever il is, which
passes with them, will have any weight

TO redeem, not to ding away our timc."l

charging gun at them, which did not
take effect, and would..probably succeed
ed in dispatcfing him, had it not been for
the timely assistance of two men, who
lodged in another part Of the house. The
villains succeeded in making their es-
cape, and have not been traced. The
house is now level with the ground--ihe
barn and out-houses saved"
General Van Rensselaer, has offered a
reward of FIVE HUNDRED DOL
LARS, for the detection and arrest oil
the villains.

A MOTHERS MORNING KISS TO HER
CHILD.
Come hither, my fair child, and let me kiss
Thy rosy lips, steep'd in their morning dew
And on thy brightness gazing, taste that bliss
A mother feels, when on her raptur'd view
Each beauty ripper grows; the graceful hue
Ofhealth sits blushing on thy tender cheek,
And in the azure of thine eyes soft blue
Float forms of joy, such as hope to seek
In all thy future days: hope now frail and
weak!
All, no!-the current Of thy after-years
Can never flow SO pure as at its spring;
But in its silent progress downwards, tears
Will mingle too, and al their NORWOOD
bring.
! trembling think Affections deepest sting
May pierce thy soul, when she, around whose
Thy little arms in playful fouduess cling,
Can offer thee no more her bosom warm
To solace all thy woes, and shield thee from
the storm.
That rose--queen of the blooming coronal
of wild Aow'rs waving in thy golden hair
Behold how soon its robes of damask fall,
And cease to shed their perfume on the air,
Leaving the parent tendril lone and barel
dalas tiie IN. which wait thee in life,s scene
May that fow'r their darken'd emblems
bear,
Whenblightod hopes ofjoy, with pangs unseen,
Eianch thy young virgin cheek, and steal its
ripen'd sheen!
Ny yearning heart in melancholy mood
Itselwith fancied agony is rending;
Let me no longer DER such phrenzies brood,
But watch thee, my sweet love, whilst lowry
bending
Thou lispest forth thy morning prayer-and
blending
With thy bright upward glance such radiance
mild,
Nseems sifin thee from Heav'n descending
(Fair Iris of my life y an angel smild,
And whispered peace, and joy-Oh! thou art
safe, my child

MASONIC.

The following is extracted from al

Sentinel, and is well worthy the attention
of the craft:
"The Masonic Society has received

Or pinks upon May-day.

With painted check so rosy
All cssenc'd up with burgomot,
Powdered, pomatum'd and what not,
o what pretty posy!
See, round and round, and round it skips
To twenty lovely ladyships,
And chatters like pie, sir;
1t talks as much as though the brains
Its little squashy head contains,
Would fill musquetoe's eye, sir.

And now it tramps away to Prue,
And now he sets out to stalk

Grand as a turkey-cock he feels,
With Miss Keturah Gawkey!
And now with deary down it squats.
And chats and grins, and grlns and chats,
Like some baboon's relation;
And bless us look what loving works

All flummery and Irritation.
