THE FOREST FIRES.
TERRIBLE DEVASTATION IN NORTHERN
NEW YORK.

Over so Families Burned out Of House and
Home-The Fires still Raging -Heartrend-
ing and Terrible Scenes-Two Persons Mis-
sing.
MooERs JUNCTION, N. Y, May 10.
Since last night, the great fire has spread
so rapidly among the forests and through
the brush lands, that at this writing the en-
tire country for hundreds of miles is envel-
oped in dense smoke. Fifty-fve families
are burned out of house and home, and wo-
men and children were found this morning
huddled together out of the way of the
heat, but almost sti1ed with smoke, having
beside them the scanty remnants of their
household effects which they were able to
carry away before their homes were burned.
The scenes are heartrendiBg in this vicini-
ty, while upon all sides nothing but blind
ing smoke and flying embers carried
far and wide by the high wind tend
to make the matter worse. Upon both
sides of the Ogdensburg and Lake Cham
plain railroad between this station and
Cherubusco, the woods are enveloped in
flames. AT Cannon's Corners, situated five
miles from here in a forest district, the
flames which had been smouldering in the
woods all the day yesterday, were last
night famed into terrific force, and by ten
o'clock the flames had gained such head
way that it was impossible to stay them.
Families were turned out of doors In the
dark night and all their effects, save some
scanty clothing, were consumed in less than
two hours, while the large mills of Cannon
81 Coy and Wood G. Coy were quickly con-
sumed. AS far as ascertained there is no
insurance upon these mills or upon the
dwellings at Clinton Mills. Two persons
"a woman and boy-are reported mis-
sing. The town records are all destroyed.
There can be no estimate of the losses OBJ
tained for some days, but it will be i'm
mense.

oughly alarmed, ierked her feet from off
the footstool, which Immediately flew up
under the weight oil Mr.. BelIamy's foot,
and The dog, excited by this additional
catastrophe, fairly barked himself intO
commissions Deacon Ashbury, awakened
by the racket, came tiptoeing and frown-
ing down the aisle, bending his shaggy
brows upon Mr.. Bellamy, who actually
believed that if he got any hotter he
would break out in flames that not even
the beaded perspiration that was stand
ing out in his scarlet face could extin-
guish. The young lady rose to leave the
pew, Mr.. Bellamy rose to explain, and as
he did so she was quite convinced of what
she had before been suspicious-that he
was crazy. She backed out of the pew
and sought Deacon Ashbury' protection.
Mr.. BeIlamy attempted to whisper an ex-
PLANTATION to the deacon, but that austere
official motioned him back to his seat, and
as the minister paused until the inter
ruption should cease, said in severe
undertone that was heard all over the
church:
"You've been dreaming again, brother
Bellamy."
Mr.. BeIlamy sank into his seat, quite
covered with confusion as with a couple
of garments and bed-quilt, and his un-
happiness was greatly aggravated when
he looked up into the choir and saw Dris-
coll convulsed with merriment, stufing
his handkerchief into his mouth and
shaking with suppressed laughter.
After service Mr.. Bellamy, who was all
through the service the centre of attrac-
ton for the entire congregation, waited
TO- his pastor, and made one more effort
to explain his unfortunate escapade. But
the minister, whose sermon had been
quite spoiled by the affair, waved him in
silence, and said, quite coldly:
"Never mind, brother Bellamy; don't
apologize; you meant very we'll, dare
say; buff you make 50 much disturbance

ROUGH ON THE BOUGHS,


4 Healthy Administration of Justice by
an English Court.
A young man named Howard, charged
with wounding a woman, was ordered by
Mr.. Justice Lindley, to be kept in penal
servitude for twenty years. There was
nothing singular about the case except
the sentence, and it is to be regretted
that the severity of that should be at all
remarkable. The most shocking feature
of modern low life in very large towns is
the brutal readiness with which the knife
is brought into play on the occasion of a
miserable street brawl, or an otherwise
trivial home disturbance. The practice
is often condemned as un-English, be-
cause the pugilistic BritOn is supposed
to have a prediction for the fail. use of
his fists. The present disposition, how
ever, Of that courageous parsonage seems
to be to plunge his knife into the breast
of the first man, woman, or child who ex-
cites his rufianly passion. In this case,
for instance, all that the prosecutrix had
done to provoke Towards wrath was to
demonstrate with her husband, who had
been drinking with him. This wifely
sOlcitude so offended the prisoner that
he rushed at her, stabbed her, inflicted a
dangerous wound, and then tried to stab
her again. In, all probability, up to the
very moment when the sentence was
passed, it never occurred to him that this
was an offense which the law would
punish very severely. He no doubt
looked upon it as an unfortunate but
quite common incident of drunken de-
bauches among his order, and expected
at the most few months imprisonment.
When he heard that the little affair had
cost him his liberty for twenty years, he
"WruDg his hands and cried bitterly"
The scene was edifying, and might be re-
produced with advantage in every case
of this sort. The finer feelings of such
men can only be efectually appealed to
through the agency Of the severest dis
cipline. A few sentences Of twenty years
penal servitude would develop in them
all the tenderness of which they are
capable, and perhaps enable them, in the
course Of time, to comprehend that in
their own interests, as we'll as those of
society, they really must refrain from
drawing tie blood" of every person
who happens to become unpleasant to
them in their drunken revelries. Liuc'-

THEN AND NOW.

Here Is the same old mansion,
with its quaint moss-Covered towers,
And the summer sunlight sleeping
On the CLEAN Of the garden flowers.
And the wild dove, far in the ir-woOd,
Coming in monotone;
And the stateiy, silent courtyard,
With its antique Gladstone.
The swallows have come as Of yore, lad,
From over the sunny sea,
And the cap of the lily echoes
To the hum of the wandering bee
The lark, in its silvery treble,
Sings up in the d ep blue sky;
But the house Is not as 1t was, lad,
In those dear old days gone by.
Twas here that her garments rustleG,
Like music amidst the flowers;
And her low, sweet, ripping laughter
Made richer the rose WTeathed bowers
But now, in its noontde Of brightness,
The place seems cold and dead;
And it lies like form Of beauty
When the light of the soul has fed.
All hushed is each lonely chamber,
That echoed to songs OF cid;
And chairs are now all vacant,
And the hearths are dark and cold.
Yet the joys had here of yorc, lad,
No hearts but my own can know
And the glimpses Of heaven she gave me
In the dear home long ago.
But they went one eve, when she left me,
Mid the balm Of the summer air;
There's a grave far ever the hill. lad
The home of nay heart is there.

APHORISMs OF PESTALOzzT.

The powerful stimulus Of inquisitive-
ness prompts to exertions which, if
encouraged by Others, will lead to a
habit OF thought.
AS soon as the infant has reached a
certain age every object that surrounds
him might be made instrumental to the
excitement of thought.
Education is not the work Of a certain
course of exercises, resumed at stated
times, but OF continual and benevolent
perintendence.
Education should not only decide
what is to be made of child, but rather
inquire what is a child qualified fer.
If, according to correct principles, all
the facilities Of man are to be developed,
and all his energies called into play, the
early attention of mothers must be
directed j to the physical education of
children.
The early and continued practice of
exercises on the gymnastic system es-
sentially contributes to render children
cheerful and healthy--to promote among
them spirit of union and brotherly
love, habits of industry, openness and
frankness of character, personal courage,
and manly conduct in suffering pain.
The greatest liberty must prevail, and
the whole must be done with certain
cheerfulness, without which all these
exercises would become dull, pedantic
and ridiculous.
1t seems not to be sufficiently under
stood that good taste and good feelings
are kindred to and reciprocally confirm
each other.
There is marked and most beneficial
influence of music on the feelings which
l have always observed to be most
efficient in preparing or attuning the
mind for the best of impressions.
Those schools or families in which
music has retained the cheerful and
chaste character which it is so important
that it should preserve, have invariably
displayed scenes of moral feeling, and,
consequently, of happiness.
Among the first manifestations OF the
facilities of a child, is a desire and an at
tempt of imitation.
1t is well to furnish children with
playthings, which will facilitate their
first essays and, occasionally, to assist
them.
1t is necessary to analyze for them the
parts and elements of which a whole
consists.
Children should not be confined to
copying from another drawing, but copy
from nature.
Next to the exercises of drawing come
those of modelling, in whatever materials
may be most conveniently employed
This is frequently productive Of even
more amusement.
In geography the drawing of outline
maps is an exercise which ought not 10
be neglected. It gives the most accurate
