In saloon, whose every window thrown open
might be seen gliding, here and there, in the dark
ened light, groups of young females whose white
dresses slightly agitated by the rising breeze of the
eve, offered something mysterious and poetical
whereupon the imagination loves to dwell. A low
iangushing whisper was then heard like the sooth-
ing murmur of some distant rivuIet young wo-
man seated before piano, was expressing her
hearts sentiments by an eXtempore melody, now
smooth and tender, now deep and trembling.
NO more whispering, but gentle silence took
place, for hers was celestial sympathy a scraph's
song.

A soft'ning thought of other years,
"A feeling linked with ours,
When life was all too bright for tears,
And hope sang, wreathed with flowers,
A memory Of affections fled,
OF voices heard no more:
Stirred in my spirit when | read
That name of iondness DER.
Oh, mother in that magic word
What love and joys combine!
What hopes, too oft, alas, deferred
What watchings, griefs, are thine!
Yet never till the hour we roam,
BY worldly thralls opprest,
Learn we to prize that hottest homo,
A tender mothers breast.
Ten thousand prayers at midnight poured
Beside our couch of woes
She wasting WEAKNESS endured
10 soften our repoSe
While never murmur marked thy tongue,
Nor tolls relaxed thy care;
How, mother is thy heart 50 strong
To pity and forbear2
What flial fondness Ger repaid,
Or could repay the past
Alas, for gratitude decayed,
Regrets that rarely last.
Ills only when the dust is thrown
Thy blessed bosom DER,
We muse on all thy kindness shown,
And wish we'd loved thee MORE
IT'S only when the lips are cold
We mourn-wth late regret,
Mid myriad memories of old
The days forever set.
And not an act, or look, or thought,
Against thy meek control,
But with sad remembrance fraught,
Wakes anguish N my soul
On every hand, in every cline,
True 10 her sacred cause
Fill'd by that influence sublime,
From which her strength she draws
Still is the mothers heart the same,
The mothers lot is tried
And o, may nations guard that name
With filial power and pride.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

We copy the following letter from the New
York Courier and Enquirer. While we do not re-
ly altogether upon the accuracy of the writer's infor-
nation, we have no doubt that he speaks truly in
regard to MIR. Folks disappointment at the obstina
cy with which his invasion of Mexico has been re-
sisted, and his propositions for peace, encountered
as they have been with onerous conditions, reject.

There is very little doubt in my mind now but
that we shall have peace commissioners in Ua-
yana. The bare chance Of it is received with en-
thuslastic JOY at the White House; for THERE I
you, is quite as great desire for peace
as among the opponents OF the WAR Alb INIT,o.-
The smart INTO which the administration has got in
regard TO the war is none of It's seeking; for Mr.
Polk never dreamed that the laurels won i'm Mexi-
co would cost such all amount of blood and treasure
The war was broughtabout historically. Mr.. Polk
talked like great man, and the Mexicans act as il
they were great nation, and between them Law
the lie or death OF the Mexican Republic Eyerv
warIlke step which the President has since under
taken has been forced upon biia-many of then,
much, very much against his will for Mr. Polk il
much more man OF the cabinet than Of the field
Tor Mr.. Polk has been In false position in REGARD
to this war from the beginning to the end Us
had no idea the MeXcans would carry their useless
resistance SO far; and the Mexicahs; no doubt :
scarcely meant that troops would attemnt fo
seize on their capital. Both parties now find them
selves in position and have 10 cllanpe chat,c
tors. But Mr.. Polk would be glad Tomorrow n
make peace, and his Secretary Of State wouId 70.
joice with him peace could be concluded on terms
acceptable 20 the country and likely to be abbfoved
by the Senate But this is somewhat doubtful T
believe Mr. Polk would still be clad TO orant ~
terms offered by Mr.. Tris after the battle of Csrro
Gordo but there is some doubt whether two thirds
I OF the oenas would agree 10 them.

FIVE DEsTRUcrIvE FlRrs IN PITTSBURGH
-PITTsBURGH, Wednesday, April l2.-Our
city this morning was visited with no less than
FIVE terribly destructive fires. The first fire
broke out in a stable near the canal, and before
the flames could be subdued, twenty-six houses
were destroyed, aud three smoke-houscs con
tanning 200 pounds of bacon, the property
OF Holmes Brother, Jordan e. Son, Acheson &;
Dagg, j. Dalzeil, and Carson d. Mckngle.
The smoke-house was insured.
-Four houses were consumed at the second
fire, including Hills Paper Factory.
AT the third fire, four houses were DESTROYED,
two of them dwellings, besides stable
AT the fourth, two houses.
AT the fifth, three stables and dwelling in
Mulberry-alley.
The five fires were raging in different parts
Of the City at the same time, producing the
utmost CONSERVATION, as the belief was general
that II was the work of incendaries. The loss
must be immense, although no correct estimate
can be made at present.
Fortunately there was no wind, or else
half the city would now be mass of shoulder
ing ruins. The flames are completely sub
dued.
