To the Nightingale.

Sweet bird, that sing'st away the early hours,
or wrinkles past or coming void Of care,
Well pleased with delights which present are;
Fair seasons, budding sprays, sweet-smelling fow
erS.
To rocks, to springs, to rills, from leay bowers,
Thou thy Creators goodness dost declare,
And what dear gifts on thee he did not spare;
A stain to human sense in sin that lowers.
What soul can be so sick, which By thy songs
Uttered in sweetness sweetly is not driven
Quite to forget earths turmois spites, and wrongs,
And lift reverent eye and thought to heaven"
Sweet artless songster, thou my mind dcst raise
10 airs of spheres, yes, and to angels lays!

A New York faro-dealer was compelled to
relinquish his profession, about four years ago
by a paralysis of the right fore-fnger. The
left hand was soon similarly affected, and then
the arms and shoulders, and now the man is
literally without muscles. As fast as they be-
came useless they were absorbed, until only
skin and bones remain. The man can
breathe, and that is about the extent Of his
physical power of motion.

Great Fire In tho Town or Tanners
Nearly All the Business Places De-
stroyed.
Boston, March Q, 1873
About eight O'Clock this evening intelligence
was received by telegraph of a destructive fire in
Woburn followed shortly after by an appeal for
assistance from the Boston Fire Department. A
special train conveying three steamers, was i'm
mediately started for the scene of the conHagra-
ton. HERALD reporter who went on the same
train started his report for New York ut about
midnight, but the operators had only commenced
forwarding it when the telegraph Office took fire,
and since then all communication has been cut Off,
The fire is in the business part Of the town, and
probably all the stores and offices and many hand
some dwellings are consumed. Among the build
ings almost certainly known to be destroyed are
Lyceum Hail. the Central House, the Post Office,
the Telegraph ONCE, the Methodist and probably
the Baptist church.
The town comprises about ten thousand lnhabi-
tants, and tanAerles are the principal manufacture.
ing establishments. From the territory covered
by the fire when the telegraph lines were de-
stroyed 1t is hardly probable that any OF these will
be consumed.
The news Of the connagration has caused great
excitement IN Boston, and parties having business
interests In the town are very nervous over the
absence OF reliable intelligence.
