WENDELL PHILLIP S.
BY J. r. LOWELL.

BY J. r. LOWELL.
He stood upon the worlds broad threshold
Wide the din of battle s, # slaughter rose
He saw God stand upon the weaker side,
That sank ia seeming loss before its foes;
Many there were who made great haste and
sold
Unto the cunning enemy their swords;
lie scorned their gifts Of fame, and power,
aad gold,
And, Underneath their soft and lowery words
Heard the cold serpent hiss; therefore he
Went
And humbJy joined him to the weaker part;
Fanatic named, aud fool, yet well content
So he could be the nearer 10 Gods heart,
And feel its solemn pulses sending blood
Through all the wide spread veins of end

A correspondent of the New Haver

the following dreadful account of fire
aod death at DR.. Speacer's house ii
Bethany, Conn.
"A few minutes after midnight las
night, some Of the family discovered the
house to be on fire. At this time the
kitchen was nearly consumed, and d.,
Spencer and his wife had barely time to
escape, not being even able 10 save par
tcIe of clothing except such as was on
them. Mrs. S. seized the two youngest
children and brought them from HE burn
ing house. The Decor, however ap

which he had on actually took fire
His wife drew him away, and endeavoI-
ed 10 recall him TO a sense Of their situa.
ton, when he commenced throwing snow
upon the fire. About this tine, girl,
who lived in the family (and who expect.
ed that all the members of the family
were out Of the houSe) heard the children
screaming 20 dear!" She exclaimed,
nlhe children will be burnt 10 dcath;"
thereupon Mrs. S. (who had been so much
concerned at the frantic and excited condi-
ton of her husband tbat she appeared 10
have forgotten everything e se,) rushed
into the house to save her other two chill
dren. But the attempt was unavaillng,
as the house was then all wrapt in flames.
She returned and told her husband that
thew were doubtless dead before that time,
(which was unquesionably the fact,) but
before she was aware Of i! he had escaped
from her sight. At first she supposed
that he had started off down the street IN
his frenzy and even for some mlncles she
was not informed 10 the contrary. But
he had been seen to rush into The house
BY young man who was near. In n
teen minutes after he entered, the roof fell
in, aud was entirely consumed. Nothing
was saved as some time occurred before
the neghbors rallied, and waller was oh.
tanned with difficulty.
A portion of the remoins of Dr. S. and
one of the children have been dug out of
the burning ruins. There is nolhing Of
each except the trunk, the head and limbs
beinp wholly consumed. The children
who persisted in the flames were of the
ares of 10 and years respective Y; the
two that were saved were younger.
DR.. Spencer was native of Manga
tuck at which place he resided since he
graduated a, Yale College, until within
two wears. He was in comfortable cir
a2ed about 40 years, and for
some wears has been celebrated as one of
the mos. skillfu physicians in New Ha-

The same length OF organization. Even
Congress, the great den Of political in-
lrlgue and corruption, owns the mig hty
power We weld, aud by their acts de-
clare our cause TO be just, and our success
certain. This may be attributed to the
Iact, that our principles are based upon
those OF the Declaration Of Independence,
and our political action goes TO the far.
