LIGHT AND WARMTH.

The good man walks this earthly dwelling
With faith to gladden. more the wGy
And dreams what IN the soul is swelling,
The eye shall in the world survey,
Warm with the noble Of youth,
Hallowing his true urn TO the truth;
Yet things that to the world belong
So base does sad experience find
He learns betimes, amidst the throng,
To bound the kingdom to the mind.
The cold heart in its pride reposing,
TO love itself, al last is closing.
Alas, though truth may light bestow,
Not always udrmh the beams impar;
Best he who gains the BooN TO KNOW,
Nor buys the knowledge with the heart.
All best the warmth with light combined
The faith adoring heart-thu world instructed mind

guished. a third tine il became igni'ed aud in
despite of all his efforts, spread so rapidly that
when the alarm had gathered the people, the
whole interior was in flames. In vain we exerIed
ourselves 10 arrest their progress. In fifteen min
ues The fire had burst through the house, and The
heat became insupponnble. Attempts were made
to tear down the adjoining building, but the heat
set fire to the houses opposite; the sparks flying
in the air fell upon tie dry shingles OF the roofs,
and were famed by II stiff breeze, which seemfd
TO veer at Intervals 10 every point OF the compass.
In two hours and half, twelve squares were re-
duced to ashes. The fire swept the whole space
on the right Of line extending from the bottom
