six miles south of this place, was destroyed

Two DWELLINGS BURNED.-About halfpast
five O'Clock on Friday morning an alarm of
fire was sounded by the ringing of the bell of
st. Johns Church, and few minutes later a
man on horse rode through the town crying
fire. The fire broke out in the house occu-
pied by Joseph Diffendall, on Green Street.
nearly opposite the Catholic Church. large
number of persons soon assembled and sue
ceeded in saving all his furniture, except a
bed and bedstead and some clothing. The
house adjoining was occupied by Owen F..
Jones, and all his furniture was saved. Ev-
cry effort was made to save the house occu-
pied by Mr.. Jones, but the heat was so intense
that the men could not work; the window
frames and doors were saved. The roof CT
the house above, owned and occupied by Geo.
P. Albaugh, was covered with wet blankets
as a precaution. The fire is supposed to
have originated from the chimney and when
first discovered it had made such progress
that it could not be arrested.
The house occupied by Mr.. Diffendall was
owned by Mr.. Frank Case, and was insured
in the Carroll County Mutual Fire Insurance
Company for $3.50. The house occupied by
Mr.. Jones belonged to the estate of Paul
Case, deceased, and was insured in the Balti-
more County Fire Insurance Company for

She stole forth from the house unob-
served. Sharp eyes indeed they must
have been that could have pierced the
darkness that surrounded them. A short
distance from the mansion the Captains
men and horses were in waiting. To
vault into the saddle was only the work
ola minute; aud they dashed away on
their long dark ride to the Santee, and to
the camp of Marion.
Before morning dawned they reached
it; and that day the words were said that
bound the lovers together while life
should last.
The tories discovered, when it was too
late, that the bird had flown. Their rage
and disappointment knew no bounds, but
it was useless. Love had triumphed
over tyranny, as it is almost always sure
to do.

SLIPPING AWAY.

They are slipping away-these sweet, swift
years,
Like leaf on the current cast;
With never break in their rapid flow,
We watch them as one by one they GO
Into the beautiful past.
AS silent and swift as a weaver's thread,
Oran arrows flying CLEAN;
AS soft as the languorous breezes hid,
That lift the willows long golden lid,
And ripple the CLASSY stream.
As light as the breath of the thistle down,
AS fond as lovers dream;
AS pure as the flush in the sea-shell's throat,
AS sweet as wood-bird's wooing note,
So tender and sweet they seem.
One after another we see them pass.
Down the dim lighted stair;
We hear the sound of their steady tread
In the steps Of the centuries long since dead,
As beautiful and as fair.
There are only few years left to love;
Shall we watch them ia idle strife?
Shall we trample under our ruthless feet
These beautiful blossoms rare and sweet,
By the dusty way Of life2
There are only few swift years-ah, let
No envious taunts be heard
Make life's fair pattern of rare design,
And fill up the measure with loves sweet wine,
But never an angry word.

RECOGNITION in Heaven.

Several Sundays ago the Rev. DR..
Thomas Armitage, in the Fifth Avenue
Baptist Church, New York, discussed
recognition in Heaven. in the course Of
which he said
81 believe we surely shall recognize
our redeemed friends above. Such
knowledge is in the nature and fitness
of things. II is the belief of heather
and Pagan nations The Hindoo widow
burned herself so that she might enter
the regions of the blessed with her hus-
band. Reason does not condemn the
idea, nor does revelation contradict it.
1t is taught by Christianity, and often
the only hope that sustains the bereaved
when they have lost their loved ones is
that of meeting and knowing them here
after. Our love of those in heaven is
wrapped up in those on earth. There
will be a mutual development of our
personal identity there, land we shall know
each other intuitively. 1t oftens takes
years on earth to complete a perfect
friendship, and it is hard to believe that
it will be entirely crushed out hereafter.
God does not create great desires or ex-
pectation5 within us without supplying
something to crafty them. Heaven
would be less privileged than earth
were there no friendship in it Although
| dearly love music. yet if heaven were
but a continual psalm Of song and re-
joicing it would become wearisome to me.
We crave intellect, feeling, knowledge,
and a full grasp of the better part of ma
ture, imperfect here. If l do not know
those knew here, shall be changed in
intellect, feeling, memory, and every
mental quality. Indeed, the terrible
conviction is forced upon me that should
be no longer myself. If am not to
know my friends, some imperfection will
be in my mind, and | shall be inferior
in heaven to what | was on earth.
