NOT LOST FOREVER.

Not lost forever, though on earth we've parted
Not lost forever, though we meet no morel
Tbev do not wander, lole and broken-bearted
Who see Heavens radiance on the further
shore,
Not lost forever every gentle token
That memory wins me from the Tar away.
Shall fill my soul, though eve ytie is broken
With tender grace that never can decay.
Not ,ost forever while around me springing,
The violets weep, the roses sweotly bloom; ;
The summer birds, in shady woodland singing
Flood with soft music all the tranquil gloom
There will be meanings in the stars. the flowers
The grand and solemn voices OF the sea
Telling of happy dreams and happy hours, :
When life had sunshine which 1t caughs
from thee.
Not lost forever thou shalt still be near me,
Thro, gh every fortune. and in every chime,
When cares Cypress or gentle memories cheer
me, -,
Thou shslt be with me, dearest, all the time

AUDUBON AND ASTOR.

The following amusing anecdote is tod
Of John Jacob Astor, in the double char.
aeter of a patron ofliterature and parsi-
monious money-holder, which appears to
be exceedingly characteristic:
Among the subscribers to Audubon's
magnificent work on ornithologv, the
subscription price of which was $1,000
copy, appeared the name of John ia
cob Astor. During the progress Of the
work, the prosecution of which was ex
ceedingIy expensive, Mr. Audubon o.
course called upon several of his sub
scribers for payments. 1t SO happened
that Mr.. Astor probably that he might
not be troubled about small matters was
not applied to before the delivery of al
the letter press and plates. Then, how
over, Audubon asked for his thousand
dollars; but he was put off with one ex.
cuse and another. 'Ah, Mr.. Audubon,
would the owner Of millions say, you
come at bad time; money is very scarce
have nothing in the bank; have invest
ed all my funds
At length, the sixth time, Audubon
called upon Astor for his thousand dol
lars. As he was ushered into his pre-
sence he found VIM. B. Astor, the SOL
conversmg with the father. No sooner
did the rich man seen the man of art
than he began, 'Ah, Mr.. Audubon, 81

scarce But just then catching an in
curing look from his son, he change

THE THREE WORDS.

Three words there are, of meaning deep,
They fly from tongue to tongue;
Yet still no place they rightly keep,
Save in the heart 40 le.
And he who o Id WOrth's crown receive,
Must first in these three Words believe.
First, FREEDOM It's mans native right,
Be he in letters born
,abble's cry has not the might
To turn this world to scorn:
Fearful the slave who breaks his chain
Not fearful they who true remain.
And VIRTUE; this no hollow name,
For using it was given;
To raise the stumbling, Virtue came,
To help the soul to heaven.
Reason in vain her vail would raise.
Stockings and babes perfect her praise.
And COP His holy VIII still lives,
While men toss tempest wrecked;
Mandates t. Time and space he gives,
And strength to souls elect.
And what to us is discOrd strange,
Is peace to Him who knows no change.

Here is strong passage from Carlyle
"When / gaze upon tho stars, they look
down upon me with pity from their
serene and silent space, like eyes glisten-
ing with tears over the lot of man.
Thousands of generations as noisy as our
own have been swallowed by time, and
there remains no record of them any
more. Yet Arcturus and Orion, Sirius
and the Pleiades, are still shining in their
courses, clefr and young as when the
shepherd first noted them in the plain Of
Shinar."

MORE E1NCENDIARIsM-DIAROL ATTEMPT
TO FIRE DWELLING HoUsE.--A few days
since we noted desperate attempt to fire
the Brush Co.'s Building, on Champlain ST.,
and we are now called npon to chronicle an
other attempt at incendiarism, but one far
more horrible, because imperiling the life of
a family. The attempt was made probably
about 3 O'Clock yesterday morning, on the
tw7-stOry frame building No. 735 st. Clair
street. It is a double building, one part be-
ing occupied by Mr. Chauncey Tice, the own
er, as a residence, the other by W. R. Clark
as a grocery and provision store. Mr.. Tice
and wife, his mother, and a servant girl, oe-
cupy sleeping rooms over the store, Mr..
Clark's clerk, with some friends, were in the
store Tuesday night till a late hour, and SO
far as is known, left everything right. About
4 o'clock in the morning, Mr.. Tice's mother
was awakened by noise in the store, and
observed light, as from a flame, through
a stope-pipe hole in the floor of her room.-
Presuming theclerk was still in the store, it
gave her no concern, and she soon fell asleep.
A short time after the servant girl arose, and
oUgoing from her room into the passage,
e4aard 4hA LATTER filed with smnlra- She i'm
mediately made known the fact 70 Mrs. Iiea,
who repaired at once fa her mothers room.
and discovered it to be full of smoke, which
issued from the pipe hole in the floor. This
created much alarm, and steps were taken
to Investigate the matter. Mr.. Tice went be-
low, and with difficulty gained an entrance
to the store. Here he discovered that in
bin used for storing sugar, etc, quantity of
rags and paper, saturated with camphene,
were in blaze, and that the fire had made
considerable progress on the wood work.
The bin was Immediately beneath the stairs
used for descent by the occupants of the
chambers, so that had they been destroyed
no means Of escape would have been left the
family save that of throwing themselves
from the windows, which might have result
ed in death hardly less terrible than that of
| perishing in the flames.
During the morning, Mr.. Tice called on
Chief Engineer Hill, and informed him of
the facts. Mr.. Hill at once instituted an in
vestigation, and from circumstances which
appeared to him conclusive, became satisfied
that man named John Mathews was the
guilty party. He consulted with Marshal
Craw, and upon his advice, procured war
rant and had Mathews arrested. He is now
