WOODS ON FlRE.--On Wednesday evening
last, Cooper's woods, about one mile East
Of the town, we're set on FIRE by sparks from
locomotive. No attention being given to
it, the fire spread extensively on Thursday,
in the evening of which day it began to
sweep fences in its track, and approach so
near tenant house, in the edge of the
woods, on the Mccullough farm, that the
most strenuous efforts Of those present
(about twelve) had to be put forth to save it,
The FIRE extended for about half mile in
width and probably milo in length. Tho
woods were considerably dsmsged.

Trinity bells with their hollow lungs,
And their vibrant lips and their Lrazen tongues,
Over the roofs of the city pour
Their Easter music with Joyous roar,
Till the soaring notes To the sun iolel
As he swings along In his path OF gold.
"Desrest papa" says my boy to mo.
As he merr;ly climbs on his mothers knee.
"Why are these eggs that YOU see mo hold
Colored so finely with blue and gold
And what Is the wonderful bird that laws
Such bea itlful eggs upon Easter days''
Teuderly shine the April skies,
Like laughter and tears in my chlds blue eyes,
And every face in the street j. CAV
Why cloud thi, youngsters by saying nay
80 cudSel my brains for the tale he hegs
And tell him this story Of Easter eggs:
You have heard my boy, of tho Man who died,
Crowned with keen thorns and crucf-d;
Ard how the weslthy-whoin God reyyaIi--
Cared for the corpse of his martyrsd Lord,
hnd piously 'ombed il within the rock
And closed the gate with mighty block.
Now close by the tomb fair tree grew,
WIN psndulons leaves, and blossoms Of blue;
And deep in the green trees shadswy breast
beautiful singing bird sat on her nest
Which was borde,-d with MOSES like malnchi,e
Ana hsld four eggs Of Ill ivory white.
Now when the bird from her dim recess
Beheld the Lord in his burial srcss
ANh looked on the Heavenly face 30 psle
Ana tho dear feet pierced with the cruel nail,
Her heart nigh broke with sudden psnc
Anu out OF the depths Of her SORROW she SAM.
All night long TIL the moon up
enc sat and sang in her moss wreathed cup,
song Of sorrow as Wild and shrill
As tho homeless wind when 1t roams tho hill
50 full of tears, 50 loud and long,
That the grief Of the world seemed tnrned to song.
Hut soon there came through the weepIpg night
glitteriug angel clothed In white;
Ana he rolled the stone from the tomb away
Where the Lord oil the Earth and the Heavens la v;
And Christ arose in the caycrn's gloom
ana In living lustre came from the tomb
Now the bird that sat in the heart Of the tree
Beheid this celestial Mystery,
And its heart was filed with sweet delight,
Ana it poured song on the thrpbbing night
Notes climbing notes, till higher, higher,
Ihry shot to Heaven Ike spears Of lire.
When the Offering white-robod angel heard
Inc Borrowing song Of the grieypg bird
And heard the following chant of mirth
That hailed Christ risen again on earth,
He said, " sweet bird, be forever blest
Ihyse6 thy eggs. and thy noss-wrea,hsd most /"
And ever, my child. since that blessed night,
When Death bowed down 10 the Lord of Light,
Tho eggs Of that sweet bird change their hue,
And burn with red, and gold, and blue
Reminding mankind In their simple way

TuR FuruRE The Anti Slavery Sian.
dard, the organ Of Wendell Phillips fan
atics, is intensely disgused with the new
recons,ru c,ioa bill, and pitches into the
Republican party quite vigorously. 1t
seems to hate General Grant only one
degree less than it hates Presiden, John
son, and it sees in the new bill a law
which mskes Grsnt military dictator over
the lives and fortune. Of The people Of ten
States. 1t predicts that, within three
years, the same kind Of Government,
which this law ptescribes for the South
will be welded over the whole 'coSp,ry.
Upon which prophecy the Wheeling
Register remarks
"The Republican party, after an exis-
'ence Of ten years, has deluged the nation
in blood, desttoysd the Union Of States,
abolished the Republic. and placed in the
hands OF one man supreme control over
the people Of ten States The prediction
that three years more will find the whole
nation under military despotism is Ger.
tsinly not improbable nor absurd"
