was to secure to himself, honor and wealth, anu
Measure and happiness, utterly regardless OF the
frustrated hopes, and bleeding hearts oil others'
rwhicI, might be scattered around him in the con-
A;ct. But we thank Providence, that although
the flames have devoured our substance. we have
beeo enabled to snatch from their fury, some
choice lessons Of experience at once delightful and
imnroying. We again perceive In is full force
the beautiful truth that all mankind are brothers
that there is a prevailing sympathy throughout
the snecies. by which the snfferlngs OF each are
felt BY all, and that this sympathy ever prompts
to relief
The quality of mercy is not strained
But droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath; it is twice biessea'

In DAYS of comparative ease and prosperity,
like children we wranglc and strive Tor the non
os and POSSESSIONS OF this world. and really SUI
fer malignant passions to usurp Tor a tune the
dominion of our hearts. We talk OF North and
South, and this and that portion OF the Globe ana
speak as if the limits of il State were the termihi
be yond which the kindly affections OF the heart
could never pass Dat let adversely come, let re-
al affection light upon any intlahitantO OF TINS wlde
earth, and all distinctions are at once annlh'lat-
ed. The claims of Brotherhood, is at ohce telt
and recognized, and lis catholic spirit spurns all
knowledge Of the artificial limits OF States and
| EMPIRES. and the North, the South, the East and
the West. all render up their treasures tor his
relief. But whittier are we wandering! Inc
theme is one on which the heart loves to expatl-
ate, but we must not indulge ourselves at present.
We would. if we could for ourselves and the 9th
err inhabitants of Fayetteville, express our graft
tude to the many and great benefactors OF cur
town. but we cannot.-ln conclusion we say
with the good Duncan

That the proportion both OF thanks and payment
Might have been mine; only have left to say
More is thy due, than more than all can pay.
Observation-Disclosures being the anniversa-
ry of the battle of the Boyne, was celebrated in
this CITY bv a society called, we believe. "GIde-
%onites." They formed a procession in The south
part of the city, and passed thence to the large
hall in Fifth below Walnut street, to partaSe 9f
a dinner. The society is, we learn, chiefly cow
| posed of Irishmen, of course, protestants. Some
offence was given to the Irish Catholics, whor re-
scented it accordingly. Considerable disturbance
was made before the procession reached the ball;
and the police, headed. as we learn, by the May
or. went to the place of disturbance, and arrest.
ed one or two of the offenders. When the CON-
pany left the hall, the disturbance was renewed,
and two men were seriously injured; one OF them,
dangerously wounded with a sword, was taken
to the hospital. Such was the state OF con'uslon.
that very serious apprehensions were entertained
at one time by citizens in the neishborhood. We
understand that the Mavor held four persons in
custody last night.
During the afternoon and evening, until a We
nv late hour, the street was crowded in the yicinl-
ty of the Mayors ofice.-U. s. Gazette.
Spots in the SWt.-Our intelligent correspond
eut 'H' informs US that there are now on the
suns disc twenty distinct spots, distributed INTO
three groups, of three, nine and eight spots each.
II the observations Of our correspondent be cor
rect, that these solar phenomena have a connec'
ZION with the weather, we may expect some very
hot DAYS before the end of the present month.
It will be recoilected that he predicted, in May,
| the great alterations of heat and cold which have
since taken place.-Bah. inner.

Observer contains a letter from John IL. Eaton
to John L. Allen. which commences with this

a goose. or duck, or some such lively creature,
pull off all her feathers, only her head and neck
must be spared; make a fire round about her so
that the smoke may not choke. nor the fire burn
her too soon: when she rOasteth and consumeth
inwardly, wet her head with a sponge, and when
YOU see her giddy with running and begin to STUN
Bile, she is roasted enough: Then take her up,
set her before guests--and she will cry as
you cut anv part off from her, and will be almost
eaten up before she be dead: it is mighty pleasant
to behold"
