THE CLOUDS.

THE CLOUDS.
The mellow Clouds, the mellow Clouds.
That skim along the sky,
Like spirits in their airy shrouds,
Seeking their homes ON high;
How oft in childhood's hour Eve bent
My eyes upon their forms,
Their changing shape, and varyi ing tint,
Portending drough.s or storms
Aud wept, could not take my fight
Up TO those regions fair,
To bask amidst the golden light
Reflected sweetly there.
But, far above the clouds and skiee,

To which at last my soul will rise,
When God shall bid j, come.
Oh F! il our eyes could pierce the blue,
Beyond the golden clouds,
And bring the gorgeous realm TO view,
That Deity enshrouds,
Would earth upon our brittle thread
Its fastenings long retain?
A no the soul lis dross ould shed,

DREADFUL FIRE.-Our citizens, were
aroused between 2 and 3 o'clock on
Wednesday morning last, to behold
the awful spectacle fthe Storehouse
situated in the centre of our village
occupied by Mr.. SAMUEL d. BRADY,
enveloped in flames, which soon exten.
ded to the Tailor-shop, Of Mr.. JonN
MclLwEE, and the Saddler, shop of Mr..
JOHN T. MoRELAND, and levelled them
TO the earth--and, but for the praise
worthy exertions Of our citizens, and
the remarkabi camness ofthe morn.
ing a principal portion of our village
must have been laid in ashes. They de-
serve great credit for their exertions
on the occasion. How the fire origna.
ted, is, as yet, enveloped in mystery
The fire, to speak from the representa-
tons of those who first discovered it.,
originated in the loft of the Store room
where, we are told, there was a consid-
erab Bile quantity Of combustiblc mater-
ais. 1t may have arose from sponta.
neous combustion, as there was oil and
rags in the loft. Yet the hour, at
which it happened, it being immediate
ly after the moon had ceased to shed
her light upon the earth, and when all
generally, are wrapped in profound
| sleep, excites, and we think, very just.
ly excites, suspicious, that it has been
the work, of some fiend in human shape
We would fain attribute it to the first
cause but, are compelled to forego that
conclusion, from other circumstances
and conclude that it has been the work
of an incendlary. Mr.. Brady's loss in
Goods is about EIGHT THOUSAND
DOLLARS. A great proportion Ct
the Cloth in the shop Of Mr.. McIIwee
was saved-but ONE HUNDRED
DOLRARS worth of ready made clo-
thing was destroyed. The shop be-
longed to Mr.. Mcllwee. His loss is
about TWO HUNDRED AND FIF.
TY DOLLARS. Mr.. Moreland saved
nearly all his tools--but lost several
saddles, &c. His shop, and that occu-
pied by Mr.. Brady belonged to Mr..
Thomas Mulledy. Mr.. Ms. loss is a.
bout FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
Making a total loss of about EIGHT
THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED
AND ElGHTY-SlX DOLLARS.

we'd 10 recommit with instructions to
add certain amendment--but the mo-
ton was promptly rejected; and the
bill was finally passed and sent to the
Senate for concurrence in the amend
ment adopted. Never, surely, did a.
mendlnent better deserve the name.

ought rather say-for il is disgrace

Executive. 1t left the Bill in the
shape ofa simple proposition to remove
the Five Dollar Restriction, so far as
to allow until the first Of October next,
tho receipt Of notes Of banks which
have issued bills under five dollars.
When it came back TO the Senate,
Mr.. Wright himself moved to concur
in the amendment Of the House. And
after some remarks from Mr.. Webster,
and few words from Mr.. Clay, the
question was taken on concurring with
the House and carried in the aflifma-
tive. Ayes 20. Nays II.
The bill having passed both Houses
only requires the approval OF the Presi-
dent, in order to become a law.
