POET RY.
The Sorrows Of Bereavement,

II was not at that mnurnfnl hour
When first thy spirit fed,
And lirs's las, smile was on thy brow,
/ feltthat thou wer, dead.
But oh! when weary days were past,
And thou away vert gone,
And |, in silent wreschednesh
Had wept and prayed alone.
Whenligh'er friends looked coll'y on,
Orfai,hless from me fed,
Or strove to heal, and wounded more,
] felt that thou vert dead.
And when ! passed along the walks,
Where thou with me hadst been.
And stood alone where both had stood
In every gentle srens;
And saw the glorious sun and sky,
And felt the bulmy air,
And heard thousand happy sounds,
And knew thou vert not there
Oh! then I felt that all the charm
That made it bright was fed,
turned away in bitterness,
And wept that thou vert dead. ,
And when hear The silvery sounds
We both have loved to hear,
And think that all their sweetness now
Will never reach thine ear;
Or read the books we both have loved,
OF verse, or learned lore.
And miss tn eye, the voice. the smile.
That made it sweet beforei
Or when, through sad and lonely hours
Ilong thy face to see,
And think that all this bitter grief
Is nothing now to thee-
Oh then feel from earth, from me.
Forever thou al, fled.
And TOO, too keenly then | feel
That one so loved is dead.

hundred cuttings put out in June, not
one but was thriving in August in the
open air, without shade or extra care
except watering a few times after they
were planted. His method is to put
tho whole cutting in the ground, bent
IN the form Of ia bow, with the centre
part up, and jus, on leve' with the
surface, at which point there must be IA
good bud or shoot, which is the only
part exposed to the air; the other being
protected by the earth from drying up,
supports and gives vigour 10 the bud.
which starts directly into leaf, and in
its turn helps the cutting to form roots.
and the whole even forms a thriving
tree. The method Of setting them is
10 form two drills about two inches a.
part, with a sharp ridge between, over
which bend the cutting and stick an
end in each drill, and cover up and
press the earth firmly and water freely.

ribIo conilayra,inn in that city, from
which we CLEAN the following: .4ol
Within half an hour after tho com.
mencemen'. one hundred houses wero
on fire. They were generally the,
dwellings of the poor aitisa,is and la. I
borcrs, and it was tho most hcurt.rcnd-A
ing spectacle to SEQ the poor people
gathering their household goods to-
gs,her, and carrying them, perhaps.
to some place where the flames would
reach them in few minutes, after
carrying them, as they thought, toa
pluce Of safety. Frequently, BY tho
tins they had removed one load, it was
too late to return for more. Inmany
instances, the poor mother had Just
time to grasp her infant from The
fumes and rush to an adjoining field
or garden. and sink down, desPairitg
and exhausted, upon the little rem.
nant of property which her husband
or children had been ablo tobring
there. ~
The loss of personol property it is
impossible to estimate. Many poor
working mechanics and laborershave
lost their little all. and few,ofthen.
we fear, hate taken the precaution to
insure their furniture.
Upwards of 5000 persons must
have been homeless last night, and
many oftheln have, to-day, mo- means
wherewith to procure NEWSLETTER
for themselves. s q
The fremen did all that,mcn could
do who had no leaders for part Of
the time, and for the rest had to work
without water. Theyworked at their
engines and upon the roofs, III the de- 2
molition Of dangerous buildings, from
morning until night, in the midst OF,
fire and smoke, and under a broiling
sun with temperament the shade Of
more than 90 degrees.
After the foregoing was written VIC
went to takea last look at the ruins.
It was mournful as we drove along The
site, Cote a,Barron. Thelargevacans
field extending from the main street
to ST. Dennis street, was filed will,
groups ofmcn, women and children.
and their littlepiles Of furniture and
goods, while all around and below
them was a smoking wilderness cov-
ored with cilimneys Ike a burned
pine. forest, with its scathcd and char 3
rcd trees, andthe Champ de Mars and
Viger square were similarly occupied
with heaps ofgcods.
On Friday another fire broke out,
which laid in ruins the Hayes Housc.
and nearly all that psrt of ths city
known as the Quebec and St. Law
renee suburbs-making clean sweep
of a mile and a-haLf in 'cngti, and
three.fourths in width, principally
dwellings.
By these two fircs about / 400 hou.
ses, principally dwellings, were con
sumed, and 10000 peoplo rendered
houseless. AS many as $4,000 persons
mostly of tho poorest class, bivouack-
ed in the open mir on Thursday night.
Tho loss is variuusly estimated at
from So, 900, 600 to $i,0Ou,oo0.
