-EFFECTs on, SENTIMENTALISM-


Young men, don't be over sentimental, it is Ia
tai. The circumstances chat introduced these
reflections 10 our mind we are about TO relate,
that they may serve as warning to young bach
elors, not to wreck their prospects upon the same
breakers-we got them Of one cognizap! Of the
drama.
1t was less than 100 miles from l., in
the summer Of '48, that a small party Of ladies
and gentlemen, having rambled from home, as vo-
taries OF pleasure: found themselves comfortably
'quartered on the noble steamer -, as she
gracefully ~ploughed the waters of the Upper
Mississippi. Night having just thrown her dark
mantle over the horizon, with the aid of broad
and angry clouds, envsloped all external objects
in chaos, save anon as they were revealed by
the faint glinmerings of electric flashes. Agen-
lie breeze had sat in from the south, and the ST.
|lence of the moment was broken only by the rust
ling waves as they split upon the bow Of the
boat, and an occasional monotinous plunge from
the measuring lead, accompanied by the stentoriah
voice of the faithful sentinel, as he cried the
depth ofihe water: guartsr-kss-tcain-sir ted.'
Groups Of passengers might have been seen in
close conversation, or, with dark and angry
|brows, engaged at cards, whilst others sought to
while off the moments in pacing the cabin, OBJ
serving the weather, or Iuunging in their ham,
Knocks.
Our little party had intuitively grouped in the
Ladies' Cabin, when the presence Of all, but
tro, a beautiful and lOrely girl Of sighieen' and a
gallant young bachelor, was drawn to the after
part Of the boat to enjoy the fresh air, to look in
vain for stars to name for each other 10 dream
over, and to talk over various little matters that
we are not agoing to tell.
The moment was one the best calculated 10
|~fertilize the imagination, and throw around the
mind feelings Of social sentimentalisln, when our
Young bachelor friend in the cabin, moved by
by the propitiOus moment. threw his whole soul
Into his cause-and il was a good one. Aston
|ished al his own elOquense, he stopped to mark
1.-THE impression he had ~made,--silence, thought
The, is a favorable symptom, and again he elo-
|quently pressed, in the most sentimental lam
guage, the question Rome To his fir partner
|Unmoyed and silent still, lie lent forward to read
his fate in the expression OF her countenAnce,
and it was plain 10 be seen-she slept calmly.
Reader, we drop the certain.

When a handful Of true freemen kept a thousand

AND caihed our lofty stripes and stars in free

While echoing through our rescued land, her

Before them all, in intellect she takes her giant

And gaze upon her onward march with all a

GREAT CONDENSATION.

T,ro Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollar, Worth
Of Property Destroyed!
On Wednesday morning last, a fire originating
IN the carelessness of some charcoal burners,
broke out in the woods about forty miles from
Brooklyn, on the Long Island Railroad, and not
wlthsianding the exertions of all the men that
could be collected, it spread with the greatest ra-
pldity. The wind varied many times, and as the
fire was conquered at one point, it broke forth
with renewed violence at another. Retreating
in number of places from cultivated farms, it
destroyed all the timber and shrubs between Deer
Park and Thomaston.
The width Of the burnt district is six or seven
miles, and extends from halfto three quarters
OF mile north and from two to three miles south
OF the Railroad.
1900 acres Of land have been burnt over, the
timber destroyed being some of the finest on
Long leland The loss amounting to over $780,
600, will fall on fifty or sixty persons. At one
time tire caught to a farmers yard, but was
speedily inguished-whether in any other case,
II has destroyed Houses or barns, is as yet ur-
known. In several places it made 4 threatening
attack on Babylon.
The scene is said to have been Grand vet terri.
bic. Dense volumes of smoke, which could be
seen at Bedford, darknened the sky, while the
cracking and roaring of the flames, as they curl
ed about the lofty pines, Or darted up towards
heaven, will not soon be forgotten by those " no
iabored IN the burning sea- and after the great
est exertions only checked the conflagration yes

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO DESTROY A
FAMILY

About 10 O'Clock on Thursday night man
disguised as negro, called at the house of law
yer Warner, and handed package to the SER
want, at the same time stating that it was for
MAssA WARNER, addressed to Thomas Warner
Esq, CONFIDENTIAL Mr. w. being absent
from the City at the time, the package remained
untouched by the members of the family until
yesterday, when MIR. Warner returned from
Philadelphia, and while the family were at din
nor in the basement he ordered his son to bring
the package to him. Mrs. Warner having de-
scrIbed the appearance Of the man and his man.
ner, to her husband, led Mr. Warner TO open the
package, which was wrapped in a copy of the
New York Herald OF March rs, with some care.
The newspaper contained strong mahogany
box with slide lid. Mr.. Warner proceeded 10
draw Oft the lid with great caution and very slow
ly, and discovered faint blue LIGHT and imme-
'diately warned his family 10 fly for their lives.
All instantly left the room and closed the door,
and they had just passed into the hall leading in
to the rear yard, when tremendous explosion
took place, after which, they passed around the
house and discovered the front basement to be
on fire and the window shattered to pieces and
blown out of place. Mr.. Warner with come per-
sons who had stopped at the house, then entered
the room and extinpuised the flames, and as
soon as the smoke had subsidized it was discovered
that the basement door was completely shattered,
the partition wall broken and very much displa-
ced, the dining table at which they were few
minutes before sitting very much broken, ard
picture of Gen Washington and the door perfora-
ted with slug shots. The box in question was
about the size of small segar box, and contain
ed canister filed with powder and s!ues and
several punches of friction matches, which were
50 placed that on Withdrawing the lid, on the
inside of which piece of sand paper was glued,
they would instantly take fire and cause an i'm
mediate explosion. Mr.. Warmers caution in
withdrawing the lid is the cause of the wonder
ful escape. -Nev York Tribune, 18th inst.
