FILIAL DEVOTION New York
Herald gives the following touching in
cidsnt connected with the recent fire in
Goth street, in that city:
Mr.. Stincr. an old and respected mer-
chant, well known to the community,
was reused from sleep by the warning,
at all times terrible, Of fire. The sud
den danger would seem to have do
prived him Of the coolncss and self
possession so desirable on such occa.
sions, and led him to seek the specdiest
instead OF the surest means of safety.
He loaped from window and was killed.
La the meantime, the position of the
other inmates became most critical-the
house, like most Of tho dwelling houses
n this city, was moro tindcr box, aud
the naines grew with alarming rapitlity.
Mrs. Stiner and her two daughters took
refuge on the roof Of one Of tue bay
windows, and their cries for help alarm
Ell the ncighbors, who came to their
assistance AS rapidly as tho circum-
stances would permit. The youngest
daughter was rescued by u neighbor
from her perilous position, but the
elder girl would not leave her mother,
who, despairing of being saved, had re-
turned to her room. The gentleman
who aided the youngest daughter to
escape, endeavored to persuade the
elder girl to allow barself to be remcv-
ed; but her resolution not to abandon
her mother was fixed, and, refusing to
avail herself Of the means of escape.
which were at hand, she voluntarily ro-
mained in the burning house and pc.
rished with her mother-a victim to q
noble but mistaken devotion. Suoh he.
roism is raro. The touching attachment
OF Miss Stiner to her mother stands out
in bold relief among the noblest re-
corded exhibitions of flial love. Few
men would have been capable of the
same seif-sscvifoe. Or have mst death
with the same calm courage. Woman
alone is capable of the whole hearted
devotion which offers up even life itself
as sacrifice to loved object, and sell
dom has this quality of tender love
rising TO heroism been moro strikingly
exemplified than in the case of Miss
Stiuer.

Two Rival TIEs.-Some recently
published statistics show that the rate
of growth of Chicago. during the past
year, has been greater than that of st.
Louis. The figures in question give
Chicago $50, 100000 of real estate trans
fers, against Sl6.O00.OO for st. Louis
They also magnify the former city over
the latter by an increase in the receipts
OF grain and q larger commerce in all
those staple products of tho West which
constitute the riches Of tho competing
cities. The total estimate of this com :
pilation gives tile advance in aggregate
trade OF st. Lonis ut $4,000, 900. while
that Of Chicago is set down for $50, ,O0O,-
600. These statements, of course, affect
the good citizens of the rival munich
palities. Upon the st. Louisan, they
produce depressing effect, md upon
the ChicaSoan, a corresponding cXhila-
ration. Both these cities, however, arc
tho growth Of n generation. Fifty years
ago, they were the log-ci.bined termini
of the Westward march Of civilization.
But both were favored in their choice of
natural positions. Chicago rejoicod in
her site upon the lakes; ST. Louis had
the Mississippi. Chicago controlled the
trade Of the Northwest; ST. Louis mo-
nopolized the South west. as they
grow, thoy saw in each other dangerous
rivals, all which, however, seems quito
unnecessary. Hero in tho South, We re-.
joice in tho growth md prosperity of
each.

ANEcDoTE OF CUsHlNG.-An elderly
gentleman, who has large fund of an.
ecdotes, stated to US on nnecdote of ca.
leb Cushing, which will bear printing.
Somo forty years ago, Mr.. G. was pay
ing court to q wealthy Baltimore lady.
Baltimore beauties then showed their
charms i'll tho light of taliow dips, gas
being unknown. There were couple
OF dips on the mantel-piece, and as they
much needed snufling, tho lady rang o
bell for servant. Mr.. Gushing, asking
why she rang, wet his thumb and finger,
and snuifed the candles la Yankee.
The lady was Mortified ut Mr.. Gushing g
unaristocratic style of snuf1ing candles,
nnd so dismissed him. MI. G. never
married, and possibly this bit of expe-
rierce turned his thoughts from matri-
mony thenceiorth.

then tt was risen by Jones to fifteen for
20 play. Brown came in, and also the
dealer stayed. Then it took me twelve
TO make it good, which put up. and I
remarked to the society that It would
cost only twenty-five more for to draw.
Every last gentleman stayed, but it was
not risen any higher. Then the dealer
says to me, "How many will you take?"
Says 1, IA card" had aces and kings,
and got IN ace in the draw. Ike took
three and Jones two, but Brown had
enough, and told the dealer to help his
self, which be took only five. There
was now about 100 chips on Lhe board.
Ike bet one; Jones wont ten bettor, And
Brown raised it to twenty-beoause he
stood pat. The dealer said that his n
was valued at twenty more. Then said
1, "How r. my does it take me?" Some
one said ''iorty chips" which I invested
likewise. with sixty better. Then oil
passed up to Brown, and wanted him
bad to stay with his steal. but his suud
gave ont. and he passed. Says the
dealer to me. "How many did you
uIa"! CAyS L, n cuTu. wen,
says he: Il don't want to lay down this
hnnd; will bet sixty more than yoni"
Now the dealer was stranger like to
our party. He was from the country,
and didn't know much about d. p. So
[ thought it was my charitable duty to
let him down easy, and only called
him. "What have you got?" said L.
"Two pairs!" said the Mr.. Simmons.
Then it was my time to be sorry that I
had an ace fnll on kings. But" says
the genial Mr.. Simmons. "mine is two
pairs of jacks!" Then said "OW and
put on my hat and went down in the
street to look for Christmas. As went
out the door. Brown asked me "How
many I took?" But Brown always was

is down.

Speaking of marriage, how inevitably
widows and widowers marry! Is it
owing to the inuremonts Of habit, or is
matrimony good per Sc9 Possibly
something Of both. a decent mourning
over, and tho widow s'sets her cap" for
n new husband-tho widower dies his
whiskers, dons a flowing whig, and
sprnces up generally. There is great
widowers, by-the.way. Neither arc
bashful or lacking in experience, and 30
need less help from tho "old folks"
than young people do; but sometimes
both wander about like the half pair
of scissors, and then it is pleasant to soc
the married people ccnio to their aid.
Up in Hollandtown, Wisconsin, tho
married people believe "it is not good
to be alone" There were eleven widows
and twelve widowers in That town, and
the married people resolved that they
would havo but one widower among
them. A grand lottery was devised,
the eleven widows being tho prizes
the twelve widowers the ticket-holders.
vi course, there was but ono blank in
tho lottery. The people were deter
mined, and widow and widowcr resigned
themselves to their fate. On the 9th
ult., the drawing took place, and Mr..
Pennington drew the blank. Mr.. P. is
disconsolate, and the Hollandtown COM
initteo, being out of widows, have ad-
vertised for one for Mr.. p. Tho sub
missiveness Of the twelve widows may
find it's solution in Chaucers Wiie OF
Bath, but we are surprised at the con.
tentodueSs Of tho widOwers.
