THE LATE EIRES.

"Greai men will think alike" but il does not follow that
they are always right in their thoughts; ut least it seems 50
to me, from reading a piece in the Wing Of Saturday, sign.
ed 'Juvenis," and the editorial comments thereon. If Ju-
vents and the Editor had inquired into the manner IN which
the co!ored hands who work at fires, are paid, they would
probably have arrived At a different conclusion, to the one
IN which, as greatmen, they think alike For their informa-
non, l VIII state that the small compensation allowed the CO.
lored hands attached to the different fire companies, is not
chic sum, without regard TO fires-so that it is manfestly to
their interest, that there should be no fires: but allow me to
suggest TO Juvenis and the Editor, a plan that in my opin-
ION, Will obviatc the whole difficulty. Let Juveuis and the
Editor, and all young men who feel an interest in the safety
and prosperity OF our city, attach themselves to the Fire AS
sociation-let them come in such numbers, that il will be
unnecessary TO employ cooured hands at 6res-let the Com
man Hall pass an ordinance prohibiting all colored persons
from appearing in the streets adjacent to the buildings on
lire, (unless such as reside therein together with such onher
restrictions, as they may deem experimentation, all neces-
sity for employing coloured hands, will cease, and the fire.

men, come forward, and let us have your aid, for we like

P.S.-As regards the "fun and the frolic,' let Juvenis
and the Editor assist US in the first large fire that occurs,
and they will then be enabled TO speak experimcntally on
that subject. As for the Liquor" it Is very seldom given.

FooT Old Jenny ThOrHe.-it is with sincere pain tina,

Mr.. Ihorne was an actor of fine powers. although illness

what impaired his faculties. As n man and a friend lie
will long be remembered andlamented. His great fault was
his freedom from s%elishness, a trait Of character TO which
most OF the petty evils that beset him may be traced. His
honest simplicity Of heart, unvarying generosity Of temper.
united to his uniformly g%cntemanly depormen, and fine
social qushues, endearcd him 70 a large circle Of friends in
the south and west. Poor old Jenny. We were his deb.
