Geatiemen.--I have just heard (by
a friend) of a very gallant and heroic
deed, performed by Il young gentleman
during the late confagration, and think
it is but Justice TO him and indeed to
our frail human nature, that it should
be made known.
Passing along one ofthe streets then
aprey to the devonring element his ears
were assailed with the cries ola female
to whom he Immediately rushed, and
on hearing from her thather only child

of a house then already in flames, and
would inevitably be burnt UP if some
one did not instantly fly to its rescue,
he forced his way up the stairs, not
withstanding the repeated warnings OF
the by.standers, that he would ineyita-
bly, perish in the attempt, and there
found the innocent in bed, who uncon-
scious of its danger, was playing with
its little hands, pleased no doubt at the
brilliancy of the scene, tor the room
was then on fire I! he seized it, and

cape, restored it to the embrace Of its
almost distracted mother, who, with
frantic JOY, threw her arms round his
neck, exclaiming with a heart over-
flowing with gratitude. 'my God, my
God, thou hast not forsaken me- AS
such herolsm is always accompanied
by modesty, and by feelings easily
oyefpowered by scenes like this, he
made his escape from the applauding
| crowd, with as much precipitation as
possible, but he will, | trust, long live
to remember, (and when called to his
account find them true, the words Of
one Of them ezclaiming as he passed,
for that act aloae you haze gained q
place in heaUen.' No reward that
could be offered to him on earth can
equal the satisfaction that such a deed
