The st. Louis Calamity--BurnimE of
the Pacific HOtci--AwfUi Scenes.

The morning of the Goth of February, 1858
is made painfully memorable in the history OF
this city, by the Occurrences OF one Of The most
heart-rendng of mortal calamities. A thronged
hotel, the inmates of which were sunk in the
deepest slumbers of night, took fire, and burned
around and among them with the swiftness OF
doom.
Scarcely less than eighty persons can have re.
tired to the rooms Of the Pacific Hotel, then
standing on Seventh and Poplar streets on last
Friday night.
At 3 o'clock in the morning watchmen de-
tected the irelisht OF burning building. Hu'
rying to the scene, they found the entire rear Of
the hotel wrapped in raging flames The elifce
was OF three stories, and had eighty feet OF 'front.'
with depth Of forty or fifty feet on Popular

Aside from the cracking and roaring of the

AHAND TO TAKE.
BY CHARLES MACEAI.
led. JOURNAL.

You're rich, and yet you are not proud;
You are not selfish. hard or vain;
You look upon the common crowd
With sympathy, and not disdain;
You'd travel far to share your gold
With humble sorrow uuconsoled;
You'd raise the orphan from the dust
And help the sad and widowed mother:
Give me your hand-you shall-you must
l love you as a brother.
You're poor, and yet you do not scorn
Or hate the wealthy for their wealth;
You toll contented night and morn,
Aud prize the gifts Of strength aud health;
You'd share your little with = friend,
And what you caunot give you'd lend;
You take humanity on trust,
And see some merit in another:
Give me your hand-you shall--you must
| love ysu A. a brother.

Twopt Beside thy Grave, Mother.

Iwspt beside thy grave, mother,
Ny heart 10 weeping still.
And fondiy lingering near thy tomb,
On yonder lonely hill.
! did not hear thy parting words,
I did not see thoe die;
Bat thy last message came to me,
When death was lowering nigh'
I've been q truant boy, mother.
And caused thee many pain,
But would heal the pain, mother
Couldst thou return again.
Nv boyish heart would not obey
Thy mild commands, know
And Ger my wsywardness to thee,
My tears will ever flow.

Thy love was fond and true,
Thy kisses oft bedeved my cheek,
Ere manhood's care | knew;
Afiiction's child from infancy,
You loved me yet the more,
Az o'sr ME wept as oft ye Thought,
Lifes pilgrimage was o'er.
I've wandered many league, mother
From where we used to DWELL
No cherished one is near me now,
OF those l loved so well;
But Oft my weeping heart returns
Across the foaming sea,
To where the precious relics lie,
And there it weeps Tor me.
