We're not your good nature iamll-

gize for my long and unwonted 81
lence. This knowledge, by the by,
saves me a world of trouble, and the
shedding of some ink. I write now
to max e you aware that a new lite
rary constellation has risen, in this
portion of the republic Of letters,
which, to Judge from the specimen
Of its light already exhibited to view.
is destined to outshine my feeble rays.
Rosy DELL as this new aspirant for
usefulness calls herself, has taken the
field on the subject of female educa-
ton. She is, evidently, a thinker;
and such, you know, I love. send
you the paper containing her first
effort, a nd desire you to give me
your tb oughts of it-not lbr public
alton, b owever, but for my private
qualification. The cause she advo-
Gates has all my sympathies; and, if
| can manage to become acquainted
with her, she shall have all the aid I
can ren der her. Something ought
ito be done to rem ledy the ext sting
evils of the prevailing deterioration
of our sex; bat what that something
should be, confess my inability to
point out. | might make some sug-
.gestions, but l choose to wait till
Rosy fully deG elopes her view $.
| am sure that you will join me in
saying that it will be in good time
for me to then speak.
How | long, dear girl, for you TO
see this charming, this delightfully."-
pleasant village. Seen from some
points of view, it resembles the pit
of theatre, and the houses would
remind you of the audie nee waiting,
decor4usly, for the curt ain to rise.
This is specially the case by moon
light. North of the public square
are several lofty hills. On one of
these, surrounded by several attached
friends Of both sexe 5, recently took
seat on a projecting rock. The
moon was at her full, anG poured a
food Of soft, silver ed light on all
around 0 cannot, by mere words,
make you sensible of that gloriously
sublime scene. 1t surpassed in
grandeur, and in beauty, every sight

as | have been here, l never before
looked on that painting Of the I'm
mortal God. l felt, blessed be His
name, thI the Everlasting Limner

Indeed Amanda, you must come
here next spring OR summer, and wor-
ship withrme on that same rock.
And not you and 0 My; for party
Of mlny who truly love the Lord,
could'be collected here, readily, on
such another night, to worship in that
temple of Gods own construction. |
Ever since | witnessed the scene,
which all who were with me will ac-
knowledge far exceeded in glory my

wondered that none of the preachers

The Fire at ST. I,OuiS.

Last week, we gave g brief account of
the burning of three steamboats, at the ST.
Louis levee. 1t seems difficult to account
for the origin of the fire; but is thought to
have begun in the ironing room. The loss
is set down at from $4,000 to 500, OOO.-
We subjoin some additional particulars
from the InieAfgencer:
The Bluff City was new boat, built this
season, and has been running but short
time. She had on board very valuable
cargo, which is a total loss. She was built
for Missouri river trader, and had only
made three trips; her cost was some $35 900
to $40 ,ooe, on which there is an insurance
for $40 200. Value of her cargo supposed
to be some $40, 900 to $3.50, 900.
The DR.. Franklin No. 2, which first took
FIRE, is rather an old boat, valued at some
sc, 900, on which there is an insurance for
IS, 600 or Sc ,000--her full value. She has
been running as an Upper Mississippi packet
and had on board some thirty or forty tons
freight,the principal part of which was
government stores, destined for some forts
in Minnesota. She also had on beard lot
of sack salt which was also lost. The boat
was owned entirely by Capt. Leyins, of
Dubuque. Persons sleeping in the Texas
of the DIR. Franklin, made very narrow
escapes. The engineer and some other
persons made out to reach one Of the der.
icks, down which they had to slide to save
their lives. The engineer was badly burned
and bruised by sliding down the derrick
One af the cooks was badly burnt, by the
flames reaching him before he could be
picked up.
The old Highland Mary was Of but little
value, although portion of her cabin was
saved. The whole after upper works will
have to be taken down. Her machinery
was but slightly damaged. The HI. NJ. has
a FIRE risk Of four or five thousand dollars
which will cover ali loss.
The G. w. Sparhawk, Hindoo, F. X. Au-
bury, j. Mckee and some other boats. showed
out and foated nearly down TO Duncan's
Island, and remained there until all danger
was over. E ~

The guage Of our railroad west is to be

trunk of the Pacific road. 1t is also the
