House Consumed Children burnt in
the Fames.---The dwelling Of Mr.. Levi
Stevens, near the village of Almond, New
York, las we learn from the Allegany Ca
lette) caught fire on the night Of the 25th.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens with three children
were from home. Six of the younger
children were left at home with Milo H.
Wygant, the evillage school masterw who was
boarding with Mr.. Stevens. When Mr..
Wygant awoke the whole aaer house was
mostly on fire, and it was with much Diff
Guilty and great danger to himself that he
succeeded in rescuing William, a son aged
about sixteen, who was confined with Sc
we're lameness on account weQnd on one
of his legs. Lydya Ann, daughter, aged
about fourteen, Andrew Jackson, son,
aged about twelve, and George, son, a
ged seven, who both lodged in the second
story; the former of whom leaped from
the head of the burning stairs, through the
flames, into Mr.. Wygant's arms, and the
latter ran down the burning stairs through
the fame, and became exhausted and
senscless with pain at Mr.. Wygant's feet.
These boys are both severely burned, and
it is thought George will not recover
Mr. Wygant was Frustrated several times
by the force and violence of the fames---
his face was badly burned, and his right
hand severely, and a considerable portion
of his hair was singed off from his head,
and he lost his hat, coat and boots, but the
most melancholy and painful part yet re-
mains to be told.
In the bed from which George escaped,
lodged two other sprightly and interesting
little sons, Martin Van Burcn, aged nine,
and Asher C.. aged five years. On the
alarm being given by Mr.. w. to the chill
dren, Martin Van Buren, awoke and ap-
pcared in the flames, at the head of the
stairs, with Andrew Jackson and George,
and might have taken his chance of escape
with them, but unwilling to leave his little
brother Asher C. behind, returned after
him, and while in the act of helping him
from the bed, they were both enveloped
in a dense and furious flame, and were
consumed by the devouring element lock-
ed in each others arms, as is evident from
their remains found among the ruins:
Every article of clothing, bedding pro-
visions and furniture in the house, were
consumed with it, and such was the pro-
gress and violence of the flames, that before
twelve o'clock, the whole bnilding and
its contents fell into the cellar, and were
an undistinguished mass of vivid embers.

PRAYER.
Give me, Oh God, the power and will
To do to others as still
Would they should do to me.
Give me conscience free from guile;
Teach me on earthly things to smile;
And turn my heart to Thee.
Thou know'st that hearts most secret spring;
To thee no false account bring;
For all-all Thou doet know;
Unerring Judge! to Thee I bend:
Thou know'st my being, aim and end;
And Thou wilt mercy show.
When have erred, o Lord, forgive;
When I've been right, grant while ! live
/ in that path may stay.
And oh, whenever worldly pride,
Would lure my wand'ring steps aside,
Do thou direct my way.

New Orleans: "At Sea, March 4, 1910,

yes. The mate then left the cabin, and

Commodore HuH.-The New Yssk
American says that there has been naucl,
talk in that city during few days past, Of
q mutiny on board the United Ssstes ship
Ohio; and sundry exaggsratisas have been
circulated, that it is perhaps as well that
a plain tale should correct. The facts,
as the editor understands them, are these:
The crew had not been on shore on
leave, from the time of their derastsre
from the United ssaies. Anxious for soeae
liberty, al last, when in Port Mshon, sae;
bright morning, some three hundred Of
them went forward in body to the break
Of the quarter deck; asking to speak to
the Captain. The ieutenan, on duty pos
sibly not rejecting that the very fact of
such body applying to address the con-
mander, was 10 itself an act Of gross in
subordiuation, instead of ordering them
back, sent for the Captain.
On his appearance, and perceivins what
was the condition Of things he sent for
the Commodore. The old man. the Tle-
70 of the Constitution, did not stay to be
twice bid. He was instantly on the quar-
ter deck and ss instantly told these sal.

Elizabeth was the only child of Mr..

They were located in the town of N,
and dwclt in Il superb mansion, situated
upon beautiful cminencc on the river II.
Pctted and spoiled from infancy, no wish
of her heart was umgratilied. She was
truly beautiful. The glance Of her dark
eye was penetrating as the piercing rays
of sunbeam. Hers was the power to
raise or dopress the spirits of those around
her. Such was her unconqucrable love
Of qualification, she could not rest until
every wish of her heart was accomplished.
She loved the praise and alteration of her
friends, to which she was so much accus-
toned that she seemed to demand them
whenever she appeared; and was restless
unless she was the theme of universal adj
miration. Ellen w. was an Orphan. She
was placed, at her parents death, with
her fathers sister, Mrs. S., lady of
high intellectual attainments, and ardent
pioty. Their dwelling was situated in a
beautiful valley in the suburbs of the town

"MY MOTHER LEARNED ME TO WORK."
Such was the remark of one of our
Boston matrons, who had graccd the first
circle OF society, whose husband was re-
putcd to be rich, but who in the great
commercial pressure of 81 had, in COM
mon with many others Of his class, all the
profits ofycars swept away. "My moth
or learned me to work"-and her face
looked as happy in her cheap lodgings, as
ever it did when surrounded by the para
phcrnalia of luxury and pride. Such a
wife is a treasure but what would she
have been, had not her mother learned her
to work !-BostoR Times.
