WHAT ARE THE YOUTH OF OUR
CITY COMING TO?

Ma. EpIToRs: What was my astonishment
on turning the corner of street into 10Th on
last Friday evening 10 see five or six boys from
the age Of ten to fourteen playing cards on the
steps Of the gentleman who resides there. |
could not help stopping to see if it was posi-
BILE that boys so young were actually engaged
in playing cards in the public streets, and
found ii was even so. Iexpressed my aston
ishment 10 them, and expressed wish that
we had an efficient police, who would take the
trouble TO walk about and stop the many out
rageous proceedings Of the youth Of this city.
On leaving the steps, there was another party
under them engaged in the same demoralizing
game; some Of these boys appeared TO be sons
Of respectable people, who, can't believe.

Bedington, Va, Sept. 18th 1876.

Once more am rusticating here in good old
Berkly County, after having spent nearly two
weeks with my kind and agreeable friends at
Cumberland, Md. When left that busy town,
and had, in a few hours, reached this pleasant
retreat, could but exclaim, how changed is
the scene Here, all is quiet save the voice OF
nature, and the old mill Wheel there, art was
making such racket, as to lead one almost 10
believe she was outdoing dame nature. But
no nature is still more attractive to me than
all the works Of man, though love to behold
them too. Take it all together, should say,
that.tbls is pretty snug world we live in, and,
what is yet more comfortable truth, we may
here prepare for better and happier world
beyond the present life. But we may shrewd-
ly suspect that, TO many this is the happiest
state they will ever realize, unless they change
their course of living and seek after that holi-
ness Of heart, without which, the Bible tells US,
no man can enjoy God.
In few weeks, | expect to be in your great
city again, but shall never forget the pleasures
Of my visit TO this place Informed your read
ers in former letter of the manner in which
spent my time here, as TO study, but I said
but little about recreations, taken with view
70 the Improvement Of my health. One Of the
best exercises find for this purpose here, is
that OF hunting. My venerable Father in law
being himself fond Of this employment, has,

THE POOR BLIND BOY.

Q say, what is lha. thing they call light,
Which | must ne'er enjoy;
What are the blessings Of the night,
0 tell your poor blind boy
You talk Of wondrous things you see,
You say the sun shines bright;
! feel him warm, but how can he,
Or make it day or night?
My day or night myself I make,
Whene'er sleep or play;
And could ever keep awake,
With me 'twere always day.
With heavy sighs | often hear
You mourn my hapless woe;
But sure with patience can bear
A loss ne'er can know.
Then let not what cannot have
My cheer Of mind Destroy;
Whilst thus sing, am king,
Although poor blind boy.

WFUL FIRE.

Last night about 9 O'Clock our citizens were
alarmed by the cry of fire, which it appears
originated in the millinery store Of Mrs. E.
McWilliams, which in few minutes was on
fire in every part This was large building
and all the adjacent buildings being Of wood
and large, were in a few moments wrapped in
flames. So rapid was the progress of the fire.
that by 2 o'clock this morning the entire square
of the town with the exception Of two build
ings, was in ashes.
The fire extended from Bay to Princess ST.,
and from Scriven TO Queen slreet-leaving DR..
Prior's residence and the Library opposite the
Bank alone standing.
Abont thirty buildings in all were destroyed.

DEsTRUcTIvE FIRE.-On Sunday evening,
18th inst, fire broke out in a frame building
at Mount Carbon, occupied by John Glace, and
owned by Mrs. Langton, which was consum-
ed, together with all his furniture and clothes.
Mr.. Glace had $1,000 in gold in the house,
$500 in notes, and 500 in gold and silver
The notes were burnt, but about $3.50 of the
other was recovered the next morning. The
fire also communicated to two frame buildings
belonging to Mr.. Donahoe, and another TO
Mrs. flanagan, which were also consumed
Loss about $4,000.

MAINE. The Portlrnd advertiser of this

leave Dana, democratic candidate for Gov

No calculation can be be formed as 10 the
House of Representatives. M. Hemmens,
(Dem,) is probably elected to Congress in the
First District, Mr.. Belcher, (Whig,) certainly
in the Kennebec, and Mr. Williams, (Dem. }

Let us a youthful band RfNTr
Round Freedoms altar stand,
Faithful and just;
Striving a world to save, tT
Fearing no storm to brave,
Stemning the mighty wave,
Conquer we must.
Join Brothers, heart and hand,
Till o'er our native land,
Virtue shall reign;
Raise freedoms banner high,
This be our warning cry,
Far from temptation fly,
Ever abstain.
Give us thy blessing now,
While at thy shrine we bow,
Father above;
Trusting in thy great name,
We TO the world proclaim,
Temperance our holy aim,
Friendship and love. ..
