THE FIREMAN.

Talk of the courage of cavaliers and warrors-it
well enough, and arises from very strong causes
flame, admiration, fortune, promotion and renown
are pctore the soldier and he would be mere clod,
were not MS shout coward" His exploits are the
admiration of the t,2auu and theme Of the sons of
song-his name goes abroad in the world and his life
forms portion of history. Human existence being
no great affair, 1t Is wonder that man should risk
1t under such powerful Inducements.
But look at the intrepidity of the Fireman-nicht
alter night rushing to of danger and alarrn
mounting the blazing pile, and cropping through the
dense smokes every step uncertain and every motion
Perous And all this too, in darkness and solitude
Tor his companions too busy in the same duty e
admire his exploits and applaud his heroism He may
walk along the verge of the burning roof and plunge
amidst the famss to helpless women and children
he may exhibit the sclfpossession of Cesar thu
lmpetuous hcroisnl of IIay6aba or the humanity O
Bayard, and yet the world knows nothing about it
The next day finds him engaged in his ordinary bust
ness and as he walks along he pointed out III,
admired b. the crowd-the 'monstrarier dicito" ap
pertains not to- him. and vet who can there be NOR,
worthy OF admiration? Worldly renown aud world,
promotion do not follow in consequence of his intrc
pdty is not auded in the gazettes of the day. mol
Is his name recorded in history-even emolument
the most patry of all rewards is not awarded to his
services. And yet, where shall we look for more
generous self-devotion, manly perseverance
more exalted courage? Not inthe battlefield or OF
the ocean--not i'll the storming of fortress nor i
the struggle with tempest--and where else can W
