some hundred bodies in all possible posi-
tions, many on the ground, trampled up
on, with limbs mangIed, heads and chest
crushed behind, thousands running push
ing, frantically yelling, iaintiug in the
background and above. one broad sheet Of
famc. And all those doomed beings
were women-tendcr fair women--among
them the very cream of Santisgo's young
and fashionable world The multitude
outside saw the horrors Of the scene mad
with despair, they rushed in TO save their
mothers, wives, daughters; but only a
few were rescued, tearing off their clothes
and sctambling over the heads of those
before them. The scrried mass near the
door was so dense that ten persons were
unable to oxtricate a single woman, and
in many Instances tore off an arm o. a
leg, All this occurred in less time than it
takes nae to write it down, Bnt the most
horrible sight was still 10 come. A part
Of the roof and one of the belfries fell in.
The strings by which the chandeliers
and lamps we're fastened to the roof were
burned, and down poured torrent Of
burning wax and oil. The audience itself
now was a blazing sea Of light. We read
Of old, Christian martyrs wrapped in pitch
and lighted like torches, but what is tha
compared with the thousands of young
women with entangled limbs aud heads
on fire. The sight is too sickening t.
dwell long upon it.
In short time all was over; the church
still smoulderipg, and flames still licking
the oharred bodies, but the poor sufferer:
were at rest, One after another the mel
from outside worked passage into tht
interior, aud in the midst Of the loathsomt
spectacle and the oppressive stencil, begr

that fill the heart with commiseration and
the eyes with tears. What did they find
Let us draw veil over the picture,
Three days were required for picking
up and taking away the bodies, all hori
ribly disfgured, hundreds entirely des
troyed of some only the underparts pre-
served. Two hundred carloads wer,
carried to the battle-ground, where fftI
men proved inefficient to dig hole larg
enough to receive what was formerly th
pride Of Chill. Two thousand and seven

of Chill, without mourning.

A BRAUTIFUL Bulwer
eloquontly says: 81 cannot believe that
the earth is mans abiding place. 1t can.
not be that our life is cast upon the ocean
OF eternity to float for moment upon its
waves and sink into nothingness Else
why is this, that the glorious aspirations
which leap like angels from the temple Of
the heart, are forever wandering about
unsatisfed ? Why is it that the rainbow
and the clouds clouds come over US, with
beauty that is not OF earth, and then
pass off and leave US to muse upon their
fuded loveliness2 Why is it that the
stars who hold their festival around the
midnight throne, are set above the grasp
Of our limited faculties, forever mocking
us with their uHapproachable glory -
Aud finally, why is it that bright forms of
human beauty are presented to our view,
and then taken from US, leaving the thous-
and streams Of our affections to flow back
in Alpine torrents upon our hearts We
are born for higher destiny than that
of earth there is realm where the
stars will spread before US like islands that
slumbes on the ocean; and where he be-
ings that pass before us like shadows, will
stay III our presence forever,

by agreement to dine on fish. Soon as

with knife and fork, and taking about one
third of the fish, comprehending the head
removed it to lis plate, exclaiming as he
sat down, with great satisfaction, "Pabest
caput ecclosie," (tho Pope is the head of
the Church.( Immediately the Methodist
minister arose, and helping himself to
about Oneihrd, embracing the tail, seated
himself, r,exclaiming," "Finas coropant opus"
