What the Sparrow Chirps.
BY PEARL RIVERS.

am only little sparrow,
A bird of low degree;
NY life is of little value,
But the dear Lord careth for me-
He gave me coat of feathers;
It is very plain, l know,
With never speck of crimson,
For it was not made for show.
But it keeps me warm in winter,
And it shields me from the rain;
Were it bordered with gold or purple,
Perhaps it would make me vain.
And now that the spring-time cometh,
| will build me little nest,
With many chirp of pleasure,
In the spot I love the hest.
I have no barn or storehouse,
L neither sow nor reap;
God gives me sparrow's portion,
But never seed to keep.
If my meal is sometimes scanty,
Close picking makes it sweet;
l have always enough to feed me,
And s'life is more than meat"
I know there are many sparrows;
All over the world we are found
But our Heavenly Father knoweth
When one Of US falls to the ground.
Though small, we are never forgotten;
Though weak we are never afraid;
For we know that the dear Lord keepeth
The life of the creatures He made.
l fly through the thickest forest,
/ light on many spray;
I have no chart or compass,
But never lose my way.
And I fold my wings at twilight,
Wherever happen to be;
For the Father is always watching,
And no harm will come to me.

PANIC IN A CHURon.-There was an an-
nivcrsary celebration in the Second Mora,
Wan Church, at the corner of Franklin ana
Thompson streets, last evening. Alter the
audience had assembled and the cnurch
was filled with men, women, and children,
4 rllmor was circulated that the building
was in an unsafe condition, and was hkely
to fall at any moment. Persons began to
leave, and this caused a panic. A rush was
made for the doors and windows, and b.
dies screamed and some tainted. The eX-
citemcnt was very great for short time,
und several persons were slightly injured.
After most Of the audience had got safely
on to the pavement it was fOumt that the
story was only hoax started by parties
who had been unable to gain admittance to
the church. Some Of the people returned,
and the exercises were continued without
further Observation-Disclosures Bulte-

HOUSE BLOWN Down. Family of Seren
Buried in the Rains, but AH EScape.- es-
terday morning, about half-past O'Clock,
a large two-story frame house belonging TO
MIR. Christian Leutzer, on Prospect street,
between Butler street and Penn avenue,
Seventeenth ward, blew down. The house
was left standing about ten feet above the
level of the new grade, and it was intended
to erect another story under it, and Tor that
reason it rested on blocks. AT the time
stated all the members of the family. eX-
cept MIR. Leutzer, were in bed. He was
sitting in rocking-char in his room, when
the high wind prevailing at the time caught
the structure and wheeled 1t from its tenn
porary supports, rendering it complete
wreck. The house fell diagonally back
from the street, struck on its corner, and
crushed down into heap. So sudden was
the fall that not one of the seven persous III
the house had a chance to even attempt
escape, and all were buried in the wreck.
One little boy succeeded in crawling out
very speedily after the accident, and found
himself unhllrt. The others had to be got
ten out from the debris by the crowd that
speedily gathered. The work was long and
tedious, but one by one all were gotten out,
and, incredible Us it seems, none were found
to be injured. A little babe was found to
have Il Slight cut over its eye, but that was
tho only injury sustained by any. klr.
LeutZer himself was buried under such a
mass of timber and boards that it required
the efforts of six men for a considerable
time TO cut him out. 1t was hardly hoped
that he would be taken out alive, but he
was found entirely unlnjured. u.
The house was literally smashed, every
timber being splintered, and every article
of furniture entirely diminished. The eX-
element caused by the affair was very
great in the neighborhood, and large crowds
we're about the place during the early part
of the day.-Pttsburg Commercial.

WASHINGTON, June 0, 1871.
Political affairs, SO fur as their manifesta-
ton here is concerned, remain at very
positive standstill, excepting so far rs they
are twisted by the Vaccinations of the
KukuX Committee, which is laboring with
increased energy to prove the existence Of
combinations against the integrity of the
Government throughout the South.
The special interest Of the oftice-holding
politicians here now-a-days" concerns
The progress OF Democracy in the States
which have lately spoken. They know
that the time has ended for Radicalism to
advance any further, and are therefore in
clined to accept the theories which the
representative men Of that party have fire.
quently expressed, and which many of
them now regard as a fixed fact, that when
its political progression ceases It's days of
authority are nearing an end. The only
step further which the Radical party
running In its present groove, without
considering important questions of tariff,
shipping interests, ,etc.-can achieve, would
be openly-pronounced military law. The
intimations of this made at the recent SOL
dierY convention in Boston by one of the
prominent officials of the Treasury Depart
ment, have set not few Republicans think
ing that this is about good time to "switch
now and the meeting of Congress the SUBJ
feet will be carfully handled by the Radical
advocates of it. Then there can be no doubt
that if the old system which prevailed all
through the reconstruction days breaks
forth again, this topic OF military law, at
least i'm certain parts of the country, willnot
want for hackers among the supporters Of
Grants denomination.
Of course there are many here who eX-
pect Grant to be renominated without
doubt, and many more who hope so with
out actually expecting that such will be
the fact. The majority of Republicans,
however, are somewhat chary in their eX-
prcssionS of opinion on this score, prefer
ring to wait for certain indications of what
popular opinion is in the matter.
There wilt be 4 Cabinet meeting next
Friday, ut which time the President is eX-
pccted TO visit the seat of Government for Il
few hours. 1t is not thought that the Cab
met will accomplish anything beyond rou-
tine affairs, and it is certain that all the
members will not be present.
Leading Democrats write here from the
West expressing the utmost confidence in
the strength Of the Democrats with their
new policy. T1NoN.

SATURDAY EVENING RECREATIoNs.-1

ward Phelan keeps u bar-roOm on Broad
street, near the Chesapeake and Ohio de-
pot. On Saturday afternoon John Grady
came in to get Il drink; he got it, and went
out without paying for it. Phelan then
sent out the young woman who waited on
him to tell him to come back and pay up.
This he declined to do. Phelan then came
out, and Grady paid him on demand, but
Immediately commenced an assault upon
the establishment by throwing sticks of
wood at the windows. The result was that
six paneS of glass and three glass jars were
broken, which so enraged Pbelan that he
gave Grady beating. Both were arrested
by Captain Tyler, and will have hearing
this morning.
