DISTRESSING FIRES.

On Saturday night MIR John Austin,
who resides about three miles northeast
of the village of Yonkers, New York, re-
tired to rest with his large family of chill
dren. Soon after midnight the house
was discovered to be in flames by one of
the daughters sleeping below stairs. OF
seven children sleeping up stairs, six of
them persisted; one of whom, young
man, about 10, after succeeding by the
aid of his elder brother in bursting his
way through the flames, resolved, against
the enreaties of his brother, to return to
the rescue of his younger brothers and
sisters in the upper rooms. He persisted
in the attempt. His half-consumed body
was found in the morning lying beside
those of three smaller sisters and two
brothers. Such was the rapidny of the
flames, that all effort on the part of the
parent, to save his children, was rendered
unavailing and hopeless. The son that
escaped from the upper story was severe
ly but not dangerously barned.
The dwelling of Mr.. Levi Stephens.
near the village of Almond, New ork,
caught fire in the night of the goth. Mr..
and Mrs Stephens, with three children,
were from home. Six of the younger
children were at home with MIR. Wygant,
the village school-mastcr, who was board
ing with Mr. Stephens. When Mr..
Wygant awoke, the interior of the house.
was most on fire, and it was with much
difficulty that he succeeded in rescung
son of about sixteen, who was confined by
lamencss, daughter aged about fourteen,
and two sons, OF the ages of ten and seven
years, who lodged IN the second story
one of whom leaped from the head of the
burning stairs, through the flames, whilst
the other ran down the stairs, through
fire and flame, and fell, exhausted. But
the most melancholy part of the story re-
mains to he told. In the bed from which
the lad of ten years old escaped, lodged
two other little sons, of the age of nine
and five years. On the alarm being gwen
the eldest awoke and appeared, IN tho
flames, at the head of the stairs, with the
two lads mentioned above, and might havo
taken his chance of escape with them,

VANDERHACKENsS DREAM,

Frank Vanderhacken was one of those
Discontinued mortals, who are eternally
endeavoring to wear out the patience of
our good old lady, dame Fortune, with
his complaints. His crops never grew to
his liking; the season was always too wet
or too dry; too warm or too cold. The
price of grain was always too low, and
that of groceries always too high, for the
plain reason that he sold the former and
had to bny the latter-because Madam
and the young ladies loved to set off a
smart tea-table and Frank himself was
no very decided enemy to good living.
But things went wrong, and he was not a
happy man,

With his old white wig half oil his head,
As if never made 10 lit it.
"Adieu | am going to the rocks and caves,
To leave all here behind me;
Or perhaps shall sink in the northern waves,
So deep that none can find met"
"Good luck good luck to your hoary locks"
SAID the gay young Spring advancing,

"There is not spot where your foot has trod,
You hard, old crI>ty fellow,

That will look so fresh and cheering,
None will regret that they let you pass

"The fountains that you lock mp so tight,

And the brooks will set running.
"Pll speak in the ground to the hidden root,

My breath alone can unfold them.
"And when the tree is in blossoms dressed,

By the sign Of the future cherry.
"The air and the earth by their oyfuness,

REPLY OF MIR. DAVIS,
TO MIR. BUCHANAN.

Onthe Sd day of March, Mr.. Buchanan,
of Pennsylvania, entered into an argu-
ment, in the Senate of the United States,
20 prove that his views and opinions were
,nisrepresented in speech of Mr.. Davis
of Massachusetts, delivered on the 23d
of January last in reply to Mr.. B. on the
Sub-Treasury'bill.
The following is thereby of Mr.. Davis
to the charge of misrepresentation:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: The morning following the
remarks made by the Senator from Pennsylvania
mr. Buchanan) upon my printed speech in reply
TO speech of his, asked permission of the Senate
10 re-state my observations IN reply, as | had
reason to believe some Of them had been misap-
pretended, and to add some further remarks, as
had then had an opportunity 10 run over the
speeches, and should endeavor thus to place the
whole matter on footing that could not be misap-
pretended.
The Senate being then anxious to proceed IN the
unfinished business of the day, signifed its wish
that should embrace another opportunity, and |
now seize the earliest moment which has presented
itself to discharge that duty This, am aware,
is subject that ought not TO occupy time in this
place, and my apology is that did not introduce
ii, and claim only the right of vindlcating myself
against the extraordinary statements OF the mem
Der from Pennsylvania.
In order TO a full understanding of the relation
which events connected with this subject have
with each other, shall recall to mind the occur
rences as they happened.
lew days before replied TO the member from
pennsylvania, made some remarks upon several
fopFs OF interest which seemed TO connect them.

Frank awakened from his sleep just as
Fortune had finished this speech; and
has ever since been a changed man.

MERcY.-Ruthuen.

MEkCt.-hutHUeUs
-What is mercy? Is t not
Forgiveness? And what is fors iveness but
Remission of the penalty of crime!
If we must keep our mercy for the guitess,
We might as well give aims to rich abundance,
Fire to the tropics arid bosom, frost
To the baked pole, and rain drops to the deep
The fault you hint at is in mercy'> self,
That spreads her wing Above the head ofguilt,
And saves it for repentance.
DEAD ExAMPLEs.-Queen.
You would not have the dead
Govern the living. 1.-THE dead could peep
Out oftheir graves, they woudnot know this world
To be the world they used TO tread upon:
Why should they rule it, then? Death knows no
change,
But life is full of changes, like the sky
With many weathers and our planet rolls
Amongst thousand scattered influences,
Al! turning upon change.
Power OF MusIc.-Queen.
- II was not falsehood
That badc the poet fancy stones to move,
For there 5 a spirit IN creation,
A mind in matter, captlvatc to song:
The very comet in his random sphere,
Obeys his voice, and srnoohs brstling fires,
To listen while the golden planets sing;
The smallest clod of earth does in its fair
Proportion to the wheeling worlds above,
Sustain the universal harmony,
And follow nature in her heavenly round!
IT was therefore truth, mot fasehood,tod how trees
And stones could move,when music tried her skill;
And thus the poets thought is justified!
RUTHvENs CHARACAER.-Rizso.
The spirit of rebuke
Swept thunder from his lips nay, triumph'd oer
The rheims that bent his frame as if show
What minds can do with matter, and the fire
Or genius with the shell in which il burns.

" MARY STUART"

This is the title Of a new play-lateIy
nroduced in London with remarkable sue
cess-written by Mr.. Haynes. The fol-
low;nc notice of it is copied from an Eng
lisb paper :-"Ifwe admired this great
drama, for great it is, in the acting, we
have admired it even more in the peru
sal. MIR. Haynes may now take his
place among the first dramatists OF this
country. Mary Stuart has just been
printed and dedicated to Macready,
wherein the author says, among other
things that he is indebted to the actor for
the position he holds as an author. This
is rating his intellectual faculties at much
too low a point. MIR. Haynes is poet
ofhigh eminence {; hiswritten play proves
1t, and although Macready did him justice
in the performance, he could not elevate
him single degree. We have extracted
the following gems from their setting, but
they possess such lustrc in themselves as
renders foil needless

Throughout the track
Eve measured in my journey, discomfort

From every pulpit loud anathemas

Oh had you heard him, too
You would have said he was of Orphcus sprung,
Or taught his art by syrens, or had traced

Had mounted to the sphcric harnonies,
And where the rolling planets hymn to heaven
Touch the rapt choir.
