was stopped by the city itself, which

the enemy; but. after having passed
to the right bank of the Narew, our
army attempted to destroy the bridge.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE-LOSS OF LIVES
A little before one o'cIoc this morn
ing, the extensive Floor Cloth Manu-
factory in Eldridge-street, near Ri.
vington, was discovered to be on fire,
and in few minutes the whole was in
one sheet Of flame, which illuminated
the whole city. The factory was OF
wood, and was surrounded by frame
buildings. all which were soon on fire,
and so rapid was its progress that, be
fore the inhabitants, on the opposite
side Of Eldridge street could collec,
their children, the houses were on fire

daughter, and Mrs. Barclays son
William, an interesting youth Of IS
years Of age. A fourth person was
badly burnt. Three young children.

the door, who recollccted that her no.
Their MRS. Murray was still behind,
she returned with the intention OF

POETRY

Now spring returns; but not 10 me returns
The vernal JOY my better years have known
Dim in my heart life S dying taper burns,
And all the joys OF life with health are flown
Starting and sbivering in the inconstan wind
heager and pale the ghost OF what | was,
Beneath some blasted tree lie reen'd,
And count the silver moments as they pass.
The winged moments, whose unstayiug speed
No art can stop, or IN their course arrest;
Whose flight shall shortly count me with the
dead,
And lay me down in peace with them that rest
Farewellye blooming fields ye cheerful plains
Enongh for me til church yards lonely mound
Where melancholy with still silence reigns
And the rank grass waves DER the cherries
ground.
Then let me sleep forgotten, in the clay,
When death shall shutthese weary achln eyes;
Rest in the hopes of an eternal day,
Til the long night is gone, and the last morn
arise.

TOO SOON.

Too soon--too soon! how oft that word
Comes DER the spirit like spell;
Awaken every monrnful chsrd
That 10 the human heart may dwell;
OF hopes that persisted in their noon
OF youth decayd--too soon--too soon
Too soonl--too soonl--it is a sound
To dim the sight with many tear;
As bitterly we gaze around,
And fnd how few we loved are here!
Ah!--when shall we again commune
With those we lost too soon,--too soon!
Too soOnl--too soen how wild that tone
Burs's on our dearest hours OF bliss,
Ard leaves US silent and alone,
To muse on such theme as this:
To frown upon the quiet moon,
Whose lips, young roses, breathed Of June
Thou's ,ospt these w0rds--tso soon- too soon
Too soon is stamp'd on every leaf,
In characters of dim decay!
Too soon is writ in tears OF grief,
On all things fading fast away!
Oh! is there one terrestrial boon,
Our hearts lose not-too soon!- TOO soon.
