Selfshness has no Soul. 1t is heart of
stone encased in iron. Selfishness cannot
see the miseries of the word-il cannot feel
the pangs of thirst and hunger, 1t robs its
own grave-sels lis OWE bones to the doc
tor, and its soul 10 the devil. Who will
fight manfully against selfish dispositions!
1t grows gradually, and when mutual, in
creases rapidly day by day. Prosperity and
good luck feed the passion, silver and gold
make il laugh outright. Who has not seen
the eyes Of the selfish water at good trade?
who has not seen hun leap for 10y at The
rise of flour, while the poor were starving

and good mem should labor 10 keep it there
An anecdcte is told of old Barthe, French
author, which may serve 10 illustrate This
passion. He called upon diving man to
obtain his opinion on a new comedy, and
insisted that he should hear him read it.

do You Remember II!

Six years ago. on such night
A IS this my Love,
When every star was shining bright
In the deep blue above,
met thee with heart as light
is thine own Spirit, Love;
Do you remember IL
asked thee, if along the way
My fate might lead,
Through many a sad and weary day,
In poverty and need,
Thou could'st thy fortitude display,
And cheerinlly proceed
Do YOU remember it.
] told thee that our way should be
A path of flowers;
That Hope, and Dreams, and Memory
Should tell Of happy hours;
That each returning day should see
New beauty in LIES bowers
Do you remember it;
told thee every pledge oflove
That God should give,
We'd train for that high Heaven above
For winch ourselves should live,
And in the spirit of the dove
We'd teach themto forgive;
Do you remember it
waited wit h your hand in mine
For your reply;
] waited-but no word-no sign,
Except gentle sigh,
And when those silent lips met mine,
A tear was in your eye;
Do you remember it,
And now along the changefu track
Of those six years,
Can Memory with a smile look back
And joy amid her tears;
Though much we hoped our hearts may lacl
Yet less our woes than fears.
As remember it.
.1nd now on our betrothal night,
Let us renew
The pledge of love, that still shall light
Our feet Lies pathway through,
Making each golden hour as br ight
AS fancy's airy hue;
And both remember it.
And still as day succeeds to day,
find night to night,
For wisdom let us ever pray
TO guide our footsteps right,
To teach our little ones tin Z way
To Heavens own truth and light;
And still remember it.

Judge Stroud Nm. NJ. Meredith-Deprapity-
Death from Burning -Incendiarism, &C., &c.
The commission Of the Hon. Geo. NJ. Stroud,
az associate Judge of the District Court of this
city, was read this morning in open court and
after being sworn in, he assumed the duties, by
commencing Immediately the trial of causes
pending before that tribunal. This is very
gratifying event TO the Philadelphia bar, who
were much mortified about two years since, in
the appointment of another Judge to fill the va
sancy caused by the expiration of his former
commission. Josiah Randall, Esq, on the part
OF the members OF the bar, gave expression to the
feelings they entertained, and welcomed his re-
assumption of the post he filled so worthiy, In
neat address, to which Judge Stroud returned an
appropriate reply.
VIM. M. Meredith, Esq, ia sustaining the
high reputation that ranks him among the most
eminent of our Philadelphia lawyers, in his ar
gument to. day before the Supreme Court, in the
Schuykill water case, before referred to.
A dIiapldated frame house, IN Shipper street,
that has stood for many years al an angle or
Is degrees, SO shaken by the high wind
his morning, that the chimney stack gave way
and came down with an awful crash, destroying
nearly the whole OF the interior The house
occupied by an old woman and her con, who
were yesterday beastly intoxicated, and spent OF
the day IN quarrellng and fighting; notwith-
standing that the dead body of the old womans
daughter was lying uncoiiIned in the house, hay-
ing died on that morning, irem combination Of
diseases. The corpse was crushed IN the most
horrid manner beneath the mass OF bricks, but
the woman end her son escaped unhurt, though
considerably frightened.
A little boy, two years of age, the child OF
poor parents, named Mcconnell. was this morn
ing burned to death by sister, five years OF age,
setting fire to the bed while playing at the stove.
They had been left locked up in the room by
thelr mother while she went to market.
Four attempts at incendlarism occurred yester,
day, but without causing any great damage, and
our fireboys were not guilty Ut as many outrages
as might have been expected, considering the
opportunities afforded for the display OF their
propensltles.
