"Lucy Stone, of Massachusetts,, made
a speech lately, in the City Hall, in Sy.
racuse, on the subject of Slavery. The
whole city gathered to hear her, but on.
ly those who could get into the hall,
heard her, Ct course. Hundreds went
uway because the hall had been filled
before their arrival, Hers was nearer
our conceptions of angel eloquence than
any we ever heard. She seemed to
breathe upon the great assembly the
spirit of higher than mortal sphere.
Never have we known an audience so
absolutely in the possession of the ora
tor. She threw her voice over the as
sembly and swayed it with pity, and
grief, and scorn, and indignation. as if
it was the helpless plaything of her in
spiration.
We will not attempt to give any idea
of this address. 1t is impossible to do it.
We think that the wings and democrats
who heard it, will feel their hands trem-
bic and their cheeks tinge with shame
when they drop their tickets for the re-
presentatives of their separate platforms.
1t is woman, or angel only, who can put
an audience to fuch a test.
We have only to say to the whole
country, far and near, don't regard any
reasonable sacrifcesyou may be obliged
to make, for an opportunity to hear Lu-
cy Stone discourse on Slavery, or any
thing se."-Syacuse League.

Little lower than the Angels,
He had thought himself before;
Now even consciousness Of manhood,
Lives within bis soul no more.
On his ear that wall is ringing,
And he hears it every where.
But for those poor hovel inmates,
When they thither turned again,
Well they knew it was an angel
That upon their bed had lain,
For it lighter seemed, and softer
To their WEAKNESS and pain.
And their frugal bread seemed sweeter
To their hunger than before,
Warmer was their sullen hearth-stone,
Smoother was their broken floor.
And they loved each other better,
Loved their God and neighbor more.

CHARGE OF ARsoN.-A man nam
ed James Dermody was yesterday
arrested by officer Wilder of the
Police, on suspicion of having fired
an unoccupied house, situated in
45th street, between 9 and 10th ave.
nues, owned by Mrs. Bridget Kelly,
who had, on the previous day, left it
with her family, TO visit, for a few
days, relative. Her clothing and
that of her family, together with the
furniture, was destroyed. The bull
ding was of wood, and valued at
about $500. The prisoner is alleg-
ed to have made threats to burn the
house, he having qnarrelled with
Mrs. Kelly relative 10 certain tree
which stood between their lots, and
which both claimed, hence the sus-
picion of his having committed the
deed. He was held by Justice Stu
