Sorrow for the Dead.

The grave of those we love what q

up, in long review, the whole history Of
virtue, gentleness, and thousand endear-
ments lavished upon us almost unheeded in
the daily intercourse of intimacy; there il
is that we dwell upon the tenderness, the
solemn, awful tenderness of the parting
scene-the bed of death; its nolseless
attendants, its mute watchful assiduties,
the last testimonials of expiring love! the
feeble futtering, thrilling, oil, how thrilling!
pressure of the hand; the last fond look
Of the glazing eye, turning upon US even
upon the threshold of existence the faint,
ialtering accents, struggling in death 10 give
one more assurance OF affection.
Aye, go TO the grave Of buried love, and
mediate! There settle the account with
thy conscience Tor every past endearment
unregarded, for every past benefit unre-
Quilted, of that departed being who can never
--never--never return 10 be soohed by thy
consolation.
If thou art a child and have ever added
sorrow 10 the soul, or a furrow 10 the
silvered brow of affectionate parent-if thou
art husband, and have ever caused the
bosom that ventured its whole happiness II
thy arms 10 doubt one moment OF thy kind
ness, Of thy truth-if thou art friend, ant
have wronged by thought, word or deed, the
spirit that generously confided in thee
thou art lover, and have ever given ont
unmerited pang TO that true heart which
now lies cold and still beneath thy feet; theI
be sure that every unkind look, or ungra
cious word, will come thronging back upol
thy memory; and knock dolefully at Thy
soul; then be sure thou wilt lie down sor
rowing and repentant on the grave, an,

vailing tear-more deep, more bitter, be

When the alarm of fire was given l was
at the theatre-the play being about half
through. There was tremendous rush
for the door, men, women and children
being knocked down and run over. 1t began
in hurdy. gurdy dance house in the
northern part of town, and the wind, which
was blowing heavily at the time, carried
the flames clear TO the south side. II spread
indeed in every direction, and swept with
such fury down Main and Montgomery
streets, that people scarcely had time to
save themselves. In less than two hours
the entire business quarter, FIVE hundred
yards long by three hundred wide, was in
ashes. Many of the merchants are "fai
broke" while others managed to save
| something from their stocks. Some lost as
high as $4,000 worth of property, while
BaiIy and Thomas Simpson lost $4,000
worth.
One million dollars worth of stuff was
destroyed and stolen. The fire was the
work of lncendiaries, who designed 10 take
advantage Of the confusion 10 steal, and they
carried it out TO the utmost. One 10 two
thousand men were busy in stealing, and
even after goods were moved 10 places safe
from fire, forty or fifty of them would make
raid and help themselves to as much as
they would carry off, They cursed all
persons who offered to prevent them, and
the owners of the property were in danger
Of their lives from the plunderers.
