THE SONG OF STEAM.

-Tha following fine poem. which BIacEacoods
Torzine has pronounced to lie the best lyric of the
injury, is by George W. Cutter of Covington, XVI.
Harness me down with your iron bands,
Be sure of your curb and rein.
For I scorn the strength of your puny hands,
AS a tempest scorns a chain
How 1 laughed as lay concealed from sight
For many a countless hour,
at the childish boasts of human might,
And the pride OF human power:
When 1 saw an army upon the land
navy upon the seas,
Creeping along, snail-hke band,
Or waiting Maynard breeze:
When l saw the peasant reel
With the toll that he family bore,
As he turned at the tardy wheel,
Or toiled at the weary car!
When measured the painting courser's speed,
The fight of the carrier-dove,
AS they bore law, a King decreed,
Or the lines OF impatient love,
/ could but think how the world would feel
AS these were Outstripped afar,
When I should be bound to the rushing keel,
Or chained to the flying car.
Ha ! ha ha they found me at last,
They invited me forth at length,
And rushed to my throne with thunder blast,
And laughed IN my iron strength.
Oh then We saw wondrous change
On the earth and ocean wide,
Where now my fiery armies range,
Nor wait for wind nor tide.
Hurrah hurrah the waters DER,
The mountains decline;
TiLne-space-haY yielded to my power
The world the world is mine!
The rivers the sun hath earliest blest,
Or those where his beams decline,
The giant streams of the queenly West,
Or the Orient floods divine.
The ocean pales wherever 1 sweep
TO hear my strength rejoice,
And monsters Of the briny deep
Cover trembling at my voice.
I carry the wealth and ore of earth,
The thoughts of God-like mind;
The wind lags after my going forth,
The lightning is left behind.
In the darksome depths of the fathomless mine,
My treless arms doth play,
Where the rocks ne'er saw the SUMS decline
Or the dawn of the glorious day;
bring earth's glittering jewels up
From the hidden caves below,
And make-the fountains granite cup
With a crystal gush o'erHow.
I blow the bellows, forge the steel,
In all the shops of trade;
hammer the ore and turn the wheel
Where my arms of strength are made
l manage the furnace, the mill, the mint
carry, spin, I weave,
And all my doings put in print
On every Saturday eve
I've no muscles TO weary, no breath to decay.
No bones to be laid on the shelf,
And soon intend you may go and play
While manage the world myself.
But harness me down with your iron bands
Be sure of your curb and rein,
For scorn the strength of your puny hands
As the tempest scorns the chain

Burning OF Russian ToWn--2OO Lives
Lost.

A Petersburg letter to the London
Standard says:
The fire which destroyed the town of
Morschansk began about o'clock in the
afternoon in one of the faubourgs, at a
distance of nearly half mile from the
town proper, and within few hours the
whole town, over an extent of five versts,
was prey of the flames. A violent
wind drove the flames in all directions,
causing them to overlap all the open
squares and even the river.
AS the fire grew the wind became a
tempest, and enormous planks and sheets
of iron, torn from the falling houses,
were hurled as high as the second story
of houses still standing. Cases of goods
allowed to float along the river were
burned on the water. Some of the pa
pers of the public offices have been
found at distance of sixty versts from
the town, and the glow of the fire light
ed up the horizon to distance of ninety
versts. The fire spared about hundred
wooden houses atone end of the town,
but of the brick buildings hardly ten have
escaped.
All the public edifces, with the excep-
ton of the school and several churches,
have been destroyed. The destruction
of property has been entire. Many of
the inhabitants trusted to cellars and
vaults, but they nearly all fell in. AS
the fire spread, furniture and other eff
fects were removed to gardens and other
open spaces, but in vain the flames
soon reached them and reduced all to
ashes. Only one of the corn depots was
saved.
1t is calculated that 1000 buildings
have been burned, and that the loss can
not be less than 100000 roubles.
About 200 lives were lost, and several
thousand persons were wounded.
Succor, in the shape of provisions,
clothes, and money, was instantly for
warded from Tamboff, Riezan, and other
places, to the unfortunate citizens of
Morschansk, literally wandering about
the woods or sheltering under carts, hav-
ing lost everything, and the number of
the homeless and destitute exceeded TO-
600. Three days after the fire the cor
poration of the town petitioned the gov
eminent for loan of 100000 roubles,
to be redeemed in thirty days.

A. DOG lives FoUR WEEKS W1THoU,


a. Doc = IVES FoUR WEEKS WITHOUT
,FooD. -Adelph Roda, of Rochester, N.
Y, lost black and tan dog four weeks
ago, and until the 4th could discover no
trace of bis fate. On the day mentioned,
however, an ice-house, few rods from
Mr.. Roda's house, was opened, and out
walked, or rather rolled, what was left
Of Mr.. Roda's dog. Almost four weeks
to,a day the dog had been imprisoned in
his icy dungeon, and when released he
was unable to stand upon his legs. He
was fed in small quantities, and by de-
grees seems to be regaining strength.
The little fellow has demonstrated the
fact that dog can live four weeks with
out food. How far the ice went toward
prolonging Life is a part of the problem
that cannot lie solved.

and 256, 900.

Killed by a Tiger.

The London Times contains the fol-
lowing Intelligence has just been
received of the death of Mr. George S.
Dobbie, Mysore Revenue Survey, at She
mogah, In the Mysore territory, on the
9th of May, from injuries received on
the End from q tiger he had mortally
wounded. On the I'd of May. while
Mr.. Dobbie was in camp near Malur,
about twenty-seven miles from Shemo-
gah he received intelligence of a tiger
having been seen at place about six
miles distant he at once proceeded
to the spot and commenced beating the
jungle in the usual manner. The tiger
broke from the jungle at q place near
where he was posted, and Immediately
Mr.. Dobbie fred, severely wounding the
beast, which skunk off into thicket
close by. On hearing the report of the
rife the beaters stopped beating. Mr..
Dobbie called his peon, Syed Mustaffa,
to collect the beaters and bring them all
round to him, which occupied about
half an hour /; he then remarked to the
peon, I have hit the tiger very hard,
and he has gone into that thicket,
pointing to one short distance off. He
then, with the peon, proceeded toward
the th1cket, picking up the track of the
tiger by the marks of blood on the
ground. Cutting their way through the
jungle they soon came near the place
where the creature was lying mortally
ing to the spot, said: 6 He is still alive.
Mr.. Dobbie replied, / cannot see bin.
The peon again pointing to the place
where the wounded beast lay, said,
Take care, sir, he is looking at us and
Immediately afterward called out, He
is crouching for spring, so look out!'
Mr.. Dobbie replied can't see him but
| I'm all ready and the next moment the
tiger charged. Mr.. Dobbie fired both
barrels of his rifle (snap shots) and broke
the forearm of the tiger, but did not
stop him !; the beast was very bad from
his wounds, and possibly could barely
see, for he passed between Mr.. Dobbie
and the peon, almost touching both of
them. The former struck the tiger
while passing, with his discharged rifle,
which caused it to turn upon him, and
| during the desperate struggle with the
enraged animal which ensued he tript
and fell and was Immediately seized and
bitten twice on the right thigh. The
| tiger then left him and fell dead before
it had gone ten yards. Mr.. Dobbie got
up, looked at the dead tiger, and
walked to the top Of the rising grounds,
and from there was carried back to the
camp. He thought but little of his in
iuries, and during the next two days
transacted his business On obtaining
palanquin and bearers from Shemogah,
for which he had sent, he returned to
that station on Wednesday, arriving in
good spirits, apparently doing well, and
was considered by his friends there al
most out of danger. He was slightly
excited and feverish, and was, therefore,
not encouraged to speak of his encoun-
ter with the tiger. He shot tolerably
well, but awoke about 3 o'clock in the
morning in a very excited state, and,
Notwithstanding all the efforts of those
attending him, he rapidly became deliri-
GUS and died in about two hours from
! the time of awaling"
