MECHANlCs' DAUGHTERS :-Speaking
of the middle ranks of life, the solid and
best portion of society, modern writer
makes the following excellent remarks:
There we behold woman in all her,
glory-not dbl to carry silks and ,wels,
not puppet to be fattered by protano ad-
ora:ions, reverenced to day, discarded to-
morrow; always jostled out of the place
which nature, and society would assign her
by sen>uality or by contempt; admired but
not respected; desired but not esteemed !,
ruling by passion, not affection imparting
her weakness. not her constancy to the sex
she would exalt; the source and mirror of
vanity-wc see hcr as a wife, partakiug the
cares and cheering the anxiety of hus-
band, dividing his tolls by her domestic
diligence, spreading cheerfulness around
her, for his sake, sharing the decent re-
finements OF the world without being vain
of them, placing all her JOYS and her hap
piness in the mnn she loves. As mother
! we find her affect onate, the ardent in.
:structress Of the children whom she rear
ed from their infancy, training them up to
thought and virtue, to pi ty and benny
olence, addressing them as rational beings
and preparing them to b come men and
women in their turn. Mechanics daugh-

p6- A gentleman who was formerly
connected with the lite John Jacob As
tor in the exten i've fur trade of the North
West, and who has been stopping for few
days in Detroit, tells the following charac
teristic anccdote OF the late hours of that
noted individual. While he lay shortly
expecting his end, his wife, who was a very
piOus woman, asked him ii he would like
to have her read passage of Scripture to
him. The old gentleman, in feeble voice
gave his assent, and named the narrative
Of Samson and the foxes as the portion
which he desired her 10 read.
Mrs. Astor complied and upon the con-
cluslon of the chapter, the old gentleman
remarked that it was good but that it was
a great pity about the fox"s tails, for, said
he, they used to be quicker sale than any
other (urs."

CURIOUS DENoUEMENT OF SLEIGH
RiDE.-Among the incidents that have
occurred on the river road during the pres
ent "spell'' of sleighing, we have heard of
none which could compare with the follow
ing =
A lively party, consisting of two ladies
and two gentlemen, all belonging to the
supper ten," started from the Buckeye
House, few miles down the river, about
nine O'Clock Sunday evening. The gents
had partaken freely Of warm drinks, we'll
sweetened, and not particularly strong OF
water During the drive home they be-
came gay, boisterous and familiar, render
ing their company rather more annoying
than pleasing to their fai companions.
Finally, having accomplished half the dis
tance to the city, their conduct became SO
uubearable that the ladies', by well man
aged coup d'etat, pitched both of their
drunken gallants out into the snow, and
seizing the rcins, drove home to their resi-
ydence on Fourth Street.
This occurrence was the general subject
Of conversation ycsterday-the spirit of
the young ladies eliciting general admira-
ton, and the conduct of the conc cited
young bloods just contempt.-C Cinannati

p%When We see man subscribe to
the stock Of Railroad Company, know of
and perhaps aid in getting a Law passed
for a County Subscription without opposing
it, then suddenly wheel about and throw
every obstacle possible in the way of the
Road, people think it somewhat queer. And
when they see such man spending time
and money to drum up meeting with a
hope of intimidating the Commissioners
from carrying out their ontracts-also see
that the President Of an opposition Com
pany gets per cent. on all the corporate
subscriptions he obtains-putting these

Fire Proof Building.

One afternoon last week, the roof of
Christ & Frick's Foundry was ignited by
sparks from the cupola but the alarm of
Fire was raised, and the conaagration was
arrested Had the same accident happened
in the more compact part of the town, at
night, with the roofs prepared by the bur-
ming sun like cinder, and wind blowing,
what could have prevented the destruction
of whole blocks of valuable buildings?
A daily paper Of yesterday has notice
of burning Of tucice hundred buildings,
in the single city Of Montreal, and Of
hundreds more in different parts of the
country.
About 1S49, writer in the Dollar
Newspaper made an estimate, from the
best Of his knowledge, of the losses by
fire in few years in certain towns, num-
bering 725, 900 inhabitants The loss was
S5O,OO0,000 in all, or $50 per head, or
$3.50 per year. Of this, s35, ,00o, 900 was
in buildings. This s5O,OOO,0 900 did not
simply change hands, but was absolutely
lost-lost not only to the owners, many os
whom had toiled hard all their lives to
acquire it, and were beggared in their old
age, but lost to all mankind.
/ And yet, doubtless 90 per cent. of this
loss might have been avoided, had abso-
lutte Fire Proof Buildings been erected, in
place of wooden or half protected brick or
stone buildings-the former temptation
!. to tonfires, and the latter little better.
Supposing fre-proof buildings should
cost 80 per cent. more than good brick
houses, yet in permanent value, in con
sciousness of safety, aud in saving of in
surance, they would be really 'co'th owe,
30 per cent. more than those not thus built
Even fire-proof buildings are not per
fectly secure against fire by carelessnes'
or design from within, but there would bs
little or no danger Of fire in the interior
of one building necessarily communicating
with the next; and in town or city thu:
built, aud well supplied with water, a tary
or general confagration could hardly occur
once in thousand years.
We throw out these opinions for thu
E consideration of our town people, builders
generally, and the public press. 1tappear'
to us that loss Of property by fire, is the
most unnecessary and therefore the mos
culpable of all losses. Engine companies
and fre-plugs are good in their place, ant
assurances may make some amends fol
losses of property by fire, but not for los'
of life, of health, or Of security and after
all, the property is lost to our race, and il
the end all must share the loss The bes
of all security is prevention, by means Of
fre-proof buildings, universal, and careful
ly built. At the present day, with stone
brick, lime, sand, iron, zinc, lead, asphal
tum, glass, putty, tin, clay, buildings may
be up which will defy the thief, the flames,
and everything but the undermining as
saults of Time.
