Park Theatre. On SatGf33SNy; turning q ne
O'Clock, the cry of fire was raised in the neigh
borhood OF the Park, and Immediately afterward
dense volumes of smoke were observed issuing
from the rear of the Park Theatre A large
crowd collected and the fire engines were promp
tly on hand +; but before they could be brought TO
play upon the building, broad column of flame
shot up from the roof, and increased with such
rapldlty that 1t was at once evident the whole
Theatre would be destroyed.
The night was dark and rainy, and the clouds
hung low, so that the air was filled with broad
glare, Illuminating all the lower portion of the
city. The flame, famed by the wind, swept to.
ward the front OF the building, and shooting up
for forty or fifty feet above the root threatened
to sweep away the entire block to Ann.st. and
Broadway. more magnificent spectacle could
hardly have been imagined. The whole extent
OF the Park, with Broadway down to Fulton st.
crowded by nearly one hundred thousand people
was almost as light as MONDAY.
The fremen used every exertion to stav the
destruction, and succeeded in combining it mainly
to the Theatre. In about two hours after the
hre hrst broke out it was subdued, nothing of
the Park Theatre being left but the four walls.
The origin OF the fire is not known with certain

ped quietly back and called my wife. All

as she came, one of the parrots screamed, and
the old gentleman turned his head. His face
was very dark, with large whiskefs and beard

Pope Gregory.

An amusing caricature and dialogue was
got up in Rome, after the death of Gregory,
representing st. Peter and Gregory going to
Paradise. The journey being hard and tedi-
our for an aged man like the Pope, he COM
planned to st. Peter thus
How is it, St. Peter, that our journey is
so long! | did not know that Paradise was
so far from the Fatician.' ST. Peter replied,
Ii you had allowed the construction of rail-
ways and steamers in your State, we should
have arrived long ago. But now you must
stop for a while in purgatory.'
After having remained some months in pur-
gatory, where he rpet his friend, O'Connell,
(the story goes,) Gregory set out with st.
Peter again on his eternal journey. Coming
in view of Paradise, the Pope asked 81. Pc
ter why the angels and his late predecessors
in the Papal chair did not come out to meet
him
Dear Gregory replied ST. Peter, as for
the Popes, there are few of them in heaven,
and the news of your death has not yet reach
ed there as it would have done, if you had
established telegraphs and granted the free
dom Of The Press
When the Saint and the Pope arrived at
the gates of Paradise, st. Peter asked Greg
DRY for his key, which, after some time, the
Pope found, and handed to him but it prov
ed to be the key Of his wine cellar.
St. Peter was admitted within the gates,
but Gregory was lost in The fog.

A First Offence UnpardOned.

Oh, there has many a tear been shed,
And many a heart been broken,
For want of a gentle hand stretched forth
Or a word in kindness spoken!
Then oh 4! with brotherly regard
Greet every son of sorrow;
So that from each tone of love his heart
New hope, new strength, shall borrow.
Nor turn-wiih cold and scornful eye
From him that hath offended
But let the h~arshness of repronf
With klndlier tones be blended.
The seeds of good are everywhere;
And, in the guihie,t bosom,
Sunn'd by the q%uickening rays of love,
Put forth their tender blossom.
While many a noble soul hath been
To deeds of evil hardened
Who felt that bitterest Of griefs-
A first offence unpardon'd
For oh if one tina, slightly errs

That women love to hear;

So sweet on every ear;

Too fair for grief TO shade;
Ny cheek, he says, was never meant
In sorrows gloom TO fade.
He stands beside me when | sing
The songs Of other days,
And whispers in loves thrilling tones
The words Of heartfelt praise;
And often in my eye he looks,
Some answering to see,
In vain! he there can only read
The faith Of memory.
lie little knows what thoughts awake,
With every gentle word
How, by his looks and tones, the founts
OF tenderness are stirred.
The visions of my youth return,
Joys far too bright to last,
And while he speaks of FUTURE bliss,
/ think but of the past.
Like lamps in eastern sepulchres,
Amid my hearts deep gloom,
Affection sheds its hottest light
Upon my husbands tomb.
As those bright lamps if brought once mon
To upper air, grow dim,
So my souls love is cold and dead,
Unless it glows for him.

Let the word be, No surrender!
Boldly dare, and greatly do!
This shall bring US safely through;
No surrender, no surrender!
And though Fortunes smiles be few,
Hope is always s%pringing new,
Still inspiring me and you
With a magic-No surrender!
Nail the colors to the mast,
Shouting gladly, No surrender!
Troubles near are all but past
Serve them as you did the last;
No surrender, no surrender!
Though the skies be overcast,
And upon the sleety blast
Disappointments gather fast,
Beat them off with, No surrender
Constant and courageous still,
Mind, the word is, No surrender;

And the way all cares to kill
Is, to give them-No surrender!

man, to make a gold ring for him, having in

with a spring. The bargain was made to
furnish it for thirty dollars. On the appoint

ulated price, which was fobbed very compla-
Gently, and with an air of satisfaction the
ring was put on his finger, The jeweler, Of
course very innocently, asked what he want

reply was, to cut pockets open with 'Ah,'
replied the ieweller, doubtless in amazemenl,
how can you DO such things with such an
instrument and not be detected 2
The performer replied, that his art consist
ed in diverting the attention Of people from
every thing that looked like a design upon
them that he rubbed his forehead, a djusled
his hat, &C., and that discovery came too
late. He then bade him good morning, and
directly left. Shortly after the Jeweler was

WINDFALL.-The origin of this term is

"Some of the English nobility were for
hidden Telling any of the trees in their for
ests-the timber being reserved for the use
of the royal navy. Such trees as fell without
cutting were the property of the occupant
A tornado was, therefore, a perfect God-send,

w;ndfall was sometimes of very great value.
Some years since, it is said, a tornado threw
