Cured in the drug store Of Rushton and

were carried by their comrades as they
were removed from the fiery prison house.
Among them was James M'Nultv. He
was taken out alive, and carried as gen

laid upon the floor, with friend sup

5ut 1t was too late He had not only
felt the crushing weight Of the walls, but
be had breathed the smoke and steam of
tie FIRE. His eyes were fixed, his pulse
almost gone, the froth oozing from his
mouth, now carefully wiped away BY ten
der hands, for he was watchediby men,
rough men, bat men with big hearts, who
would have perilled their lives to save
his. Il was all in vain. The physician
said, 1T is all over; poor fellow he is
dying" Then, oh. what scene for .
poet or a painter. These hardy men,
unrelated, perhaps almost unacquainted
with the dying man, save that he was
their brother fireman, pulled off their
mats IN token Of respect. and knelt bv
his side, taking his hand in theirs, while
the tears rolled down their bronzed
checks, and with their silent prayers for
its safe journey, his soul went up to God.
