denly burnt to ashes in few honrs-a city
of paper and bamboo, covering many square
miles filled with it's women and children, the
sick and the infrm, the blind. the halt and
the manned. 1t burned like straw on many
sides at once, reddening the ocean for many
leagues with its flames. 1t was fired. with
out warning, by bombsbells and hot shot
rushed necessarily during two days into its
widst. In the vast confagration it is morally
certain that not two thousand only, but at
least five times. perhaps ten or twenty times
two thousand helpless creatures must have
perished. No brilliant pen has painted for
us the hideous incidents Of their last agonies,
and the horrors cf an Internal fire, before
which that of Chill burns but pale and fee

sailors-purposely, unsparinply and boast.

THE ToNB OF EZRA, THE ScRIBE.-This is
the age of commemorations. While we. here
in England, are preparing to celebrate the
three hundredth anniversary of the bard of
Avon, the Jews, in the heart of Asia, are be-
stirring themselves to erect monument to
the memory of the great restorer of their sa-
cred writings. Alter having rested in his
honored grave for nearly $500 years. the
Jews of Bagdad have been reused to erect
him monument on the spot which the most
ancient tradition has designated as his grave
and the correctness of which there is no rea-
son to doubt. This spot lies in the desert,
near the confluence of the Euphrates and Ii
gris, and the monument to be established is
only one betting the memory of man as
much venerated br Christians as Jews. The
proposed monument is a college for the study
oi the writings preserved through his care for
tne CIVILIZED world. Contributions for this
Purp'se have been forwarded from Bombay.

"Now lay me down to sleep,

If should die before l wake,

He stopped all at once, opened his eyes,
and exclaimed

been bad boy?
" You should not stop to ask questions, my
son, while you are saying your prayers, re
piled his mother.
g But, mother, if I've been bad, what shall
say?"
. Ask God to forgive you, but you should
say your prayers all through when you begin,

An UNcEREM1Ntees TAT4ER-In one of
the interior towns os View Jersey, some miles
distant from the Amboy Central Railroad,
where the inhabitants never had the pleasure
of coming in contract with that pure minded
and liberal corporation, consequently are
honest and humane,) lived old Mr.. Green. a
singular and eeentric genius. He was wild
over. well of. and blessed with the prettiest
daughter that New Jersey could boast of. Of
course she had lover. All good looking
girls have beaux: so Martha Green was not
an exception to the general rule; but her Ia
ther was so ngular. or else he Thought SO
much of her that Martha's feller dian
dare hint to the old man that he would Ike
to provide for his child. and do the best he
could for her. 1t was in vain that Martina
urged Frank her beau, to have private talk
with her father The old man did not like to
be talked to, and if word was forced from
him it was generally and oath, and very
disaereeabe one at that: but after Martha
had Inspired Frank with some courage, it
was with serious misgivings that he started
in search of Mr. Green, for the purpose OF
opening his heart and mind at the same time.
Frank found the cd gentleman hard at work
on pig-pen The old fellow did not and
would not notice his visitor, so Frank off his
coat and lent a helping hand. He sweated
and inwardly and often cursed the work,
but not word was exchanged between the
parties until the pen was completed and as
the last mil was driven home, Frank said,
in trembling tones: Mr.. Green, | love
Martha ..Humph y growled the old man.
Is Can | have her ?'' Take her, and be
id" was the surly answer, and the old
fellow went to supper. Frank did take her.
and has never been sorry for the act.

THE POPULATION OF ENGLANp.-All who
have read Mr.. Beecher's remarks on the alb.
sorption of the lands of Great Britain bv the
aristocracy, will be interested by the follow
ing statement extracted from late London
correspondence
You have heard much, and will hear more
of the depopulation of Ireland. Curious
changes are also taking place in English pop
ulation. The entire population of The coun
try is increasing steadily in spite of heavy
emigration; but it appears to be gathering
into the towns. London increases at the
rate of 10000 year Many of the large
towns are growing rapidly; but the agricul-
tural population is falling off In ten wears
the number of farmers and grazers has di
mnished 20 per cent. The farms are larger
IN size. There are 1000 fewer proprietors
than there were ten years ago. All the land
IN England is now owned by about so 600
persons, and the number of laborers has
diminished in fully as great a proportion.
partly by the increase of grazing farms. mart
ly by the use of machinery. If things 90 on
IN the same way a few years longer the
whole population of England will be gathered
into commercial and manufacturing towns.
the land will all belong to two or three rea t
prepr'etors, stocked with cattle and sheen. or

An ELOQUENT EFFUsIoN.-The following
thrilling and soul inspiring effusion of liberty
and glory, is said to have been delivered by
the commandant Of a barefoot company in the
Hoosier State. shortly after receiving the false
report that Mexico had declared war against
the United States. The report may not be
exactly verbatim, though it is is evident that
spirit is there:
'' Men of blood, and friends of Washington
and that old hoss General jackson Iwant

and Jupiter has poured the lie of his wrath
down the greasy shanks of the Mexicans.

pie, and the mighty valley of Massassip re
verberates the thousand tongued kissing Of
Santa Anna, and the smaller Ignorant fa-
tus" revolves around that benighted wooden
legged popgun of the Montezumas.
