short description Of him will not be uninterestng.
Mr. Field, the London correspondent of the New

audience of eight or ten thousand persons, in that
city, says
"Never had public speaker more unpromising
exterior than Mr.. Spurgeon He is very short and
very fat, and altogether what we should call "chub
by" and he goes waddling up the stairs he looks
more like overgrown boy than a fully developed
man. Nor does his countenance betoken superior
INTELLECT. His forehead is low, and his upper lip is
so short that it shows his teeth, which gives his
mouth the appearance of shipper or a grin. Sure
ly, thought, eloquence cannot come out of such .
mouth as that, 49,.
But the impression which physiognomist might
form from these dull AMI heavy features is dspelled
as soon as he begins to speak. Then his couhte.
nance lights up with animation. His voice is full
and clear, and rings through the hall like clarion
filling every ear with melodious sound."s
He speaks extempOraneously, without note, and
his singular eloquence and simplicity of language
most remarkable, and have given him greater
notorety than any clergyman in England. So great

BURNING OF THE "OLD LOG CABlN"-The tele-

fire Of the Old Log Cabin at North Bend, made "a
as the residence of Gen. Harrison during the
campaign which elected him to the Presidency.
According to the reports in the Cincinnati papers
there very strong for believing that the
fire set by one Of the servant girls There were
two girls, both named Bridget. The hired men, who
s!ep, in small brick buildings detached from the
main building, saw. at II o'clock on Saturday night
Ugh. in the kitchen. As the girls had gone to their
room by 10 o'clock, one of them must have gone
back to the kitchen, else some got into it from
without When the fire fairly discovered and
the family roused one of them asked if the girls
had been called One of the hired men went imme-
dately their room. and found one of the Bridges
up and dressed, her trunk packed aud locked, and
ready to leave. The other bridget was fast asleep
in bed, and paralyzed with fear, when inform
ed of the fire, that she had to be carried from the
room. The Bridget first mentioned lost nothing;
the other Bridget lost all her clothes and some $40
of her savings, which was in her trunk.
The fire had gained such Roadway before it was
discovered that little clothing few paintings and
some furniture all that could be saved. By
this fire the public have sustained great loss in the
destruction Of a mass of valuable correspondence
and papers reaching from Gen. Harrisons first en-
try into public life till the untmely close of his Ca
reer. These papers were stored in one of the gar.
rets, and only baskctfu or two were saved.

She looked for help to her own sex, to those
Strung minded women who have come to blows
With all mankind, and publish their intentions
In fierce debates and furious conventions
70 one of these she went and sat and wondered,
As the Oympian Junos stormed and Numbered; e
Threw not a ray of light upoi, her case.
She did not long to cut the scci: throat,
She did not want two husbands or one vote,
Or to discard her gentle womanly nature,
For any seat in any Legislature.
If she had owned an acre, TN its axis,
While the world turned she would have paid her taxes
With Nr without representative,
For what she wanted chance to live,
seat at Natures table, and share
In human sympathy and love and care.
Poor chdl she found the march of Womans Rights
Is not for her who suffers but who fights,
And the prime maxim in its foremost van,
Not Love to Woman but Revenge on Man
In her despair she turns to Frkin. Who will not
recognize the habitat of the gentleman
She sought him at his house, that lofty pile,
Built on the avenue, in the latest style
OF Merchant Princes, grand, groesque and ford,
Out of the finest freestone ever qlarried.
In its erection, as he oft declared
To wondering visitors, expense was spared,
And had he said, no order of architecture,
Twould have been truer STILL as conjecture.
The builders, with their taste SO fine and funny,
Laid themselves out, well rs Firkin money,
And in way that begears all description,
Blended Corinthian, Gothic and Egyptian,
Aud other famous styles with classic rarties.
In one grand jumDle of brown-stone vnlgarities.

Some mammoth tester, such its tainted mixtures
Of decorations furniture and fixtures.
It seemed as if bomb-shell charged and loaded
With paint and gilt and plaster. had exploded,
Without regard to anybody feelings,
On walls and columns cornices and ceilings
The ambitious pasterers had eclpsed the builders,
And in their turn oudone by the gilders;

The brightest rainbow would have seemed deep mourning
From lowest basement up to topmost attic
