A rHRILlINC SCENE.

About half past eight O'clok yesterday
morning the dwelling of William Sautage,
on Wigh, street, between Campau avenue
and Chene street, took FIRE during the All.
sence Of all the members of the fatiily ex
cep, the Young children, who Gese locked
inside while the mother went to q neighbor's.
The flames spread rapidly, and before any
etfor, could te r.ade to check their progress,
the eu,iEe building was wrapped in a sheet
of fire. The agonized mother rushed TO the
burning building with the intention Of sa-
wing her babes, but the smoke and hot air
s,ihed her and she was compelled to aban-
don the undertaking. 1t seemed as though
the children must surely perish, so fercely
did the destructive element rage the flames
lcaping aud curling abovethe doomed build
ing like mass Of writh;ng, angry scrpents.
The mother was in despair and her screams
for help were truly piiiful. Finally young
man, named William Plass, determined to
undertake the rescue Of the children. Wrap

sprang into the building, and cropping his
way TO the kitchen, where they were known
to be, he brought them forth in safety. Five

The New York correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Journal calls attention to the fact that
several of the men who have achieved the
largest fortunes in New Yoik have been e.
med for strict adherance 10 the.s word, He
SAYS:
William B. Astor says what be means in
trade, and abides BY his word, though it be
to bis damage. His father conducted his
business on the same principle. Many years
ago a cargo OF tea was advertised at auction.
4 large dealer tn teas, knowing that no mer
chant could oat-bid him, or take the guam
ti,y he could, concluded to buy the cargo,
for be knew that be would make handsome
thing Of it, as nobody could compete With
him, and be would have everything his own
way. Just before the sale commenced. to
his CONSERVATION, he saw Mr.. As.or walking
down the wharf. He went up to meet Fix.
and said, Mr. As,or am sorry to see you
here this morning. will send check of
$1,000 round to your counting room If you
will 90 and STAY there until after the sale"
Without thinking much about it, Mr.. Astor
consented. and said to the merchant Send
round your check" turned roand and went
to his counting room. Thinking over the
matter, he found he had made $1,000, and
lost FIVE thousand. but he kept his word.
Some years ago SOME parties tried slyly, to
hire the Astor House over the heads OF the
Stetsons. These men had private inter>
view with William B. Astor and wanted to
know bis terms. a. will consult Mr.. Stet>
son and let you know" he said q l ALWAYS
give i.iy old tenants the preference" To
consult Mr.. S;etson was TO defeat the object
the parties had. and they pursued the matter
no further. Lsewart's success does not pro-
ceed from the fact thut every variety Of arti-
Gle can be purchased at his store, but for
this, that every article is found to be what
it is represented to be. Nobody asks guar
antee of Peter Cooper that he will no. cheat
in the commodity which he sells. Young

We will tell you another secret. Within
ten years d great change has taken place re-
gardng labor. The majority Of mechanics
make more money than the majority Of pro-
fessional men: and common laborers get
more money than clerks. In ten years more,
the difference will be still greater. We look
to see labor rise to the dignity Of the pro-
fessions when. perhaps, as much win be
paid for splitting hundred rails as for
preaching q sermon. Every age differs
but in every age labor is the key to success.

In our age, practical industry wears the
crown.
We well know how great are the difhcul>
ties to yrung man who has not been taught
to labor. If be is poor and without friends.
perhaps his case is harder; but this is not
aertain. 1t takes about two months FOR the
hands 70 become tough, and about the same
period for him to learn to work naturally.
Providence always encourages the heart Of
a young man who tries TO be useful. Each
dar his task is easier But it. is astonishing
how fast one will learn TO work on his own
