SUNSET.
Above a river bright we gladsome stood;
The sunbeams noiseless flood the vale below,
Invade the shadows of the solemn wood,
And fire the landscape with a crimson glow.
The water-lilies sparkle in the sun,
The wavelets glitter with a silvery light,
The cheerful brooks make music as they run,
The swallows revel in a loftier flight;
The gentle zephyrs march in graceful choirs,
Their bells of gold the cowslips ring: the sun
Plaines through a ragged thunder-rift, like fires
That blaze resplendent from a bursting gun.
Such is the brightness and the cheer around,
That hope and love with gladness 011 the heart;
No room for sadness or for glonm is found—
All sorrows fly away, all cares depart.
No thoughts of future anguish, sorrow past;
No thoughts of worldly greatness unattained,
Of man's injustice, or the evil vast
Of selfishness, of passion unrestrained,
Befit a time like this; these scenes awoke
The hopeful frame, the lofty purpose; freed
From all restraint, responsively we spoke
The worthy thought and planned the noble deed.
At length the sunlight tips the western hill;
The distant landscape darkens and grows sad;
The brooklet murmurs with a plaintive trill; •
The mountain sentinel, in darkness clad,
With scowling brow resumes his solemn tread.
Anon the marsh and dusky woods resound
With tnehtneholy notes and voices dread,
Whilst deepening twiligh toasts hergloom around
And now behold, on yonder lonely mound
There stands a forest oak, gigantic, old:
A moment since it seemed a monarch, crowned
With sunset's coronal of fiery gold;
But now it lifts its gaunt and writhing limbs,
And, as the night winds murmur, seems to moan
In tones far sadder than the midnight hymns
That mourning vestals chant, "I'm doomed alone,
To wrestle with the storms of centuries,
With grief and horrors that will ever surge
Along this forest gloom." Again the breeze
Makes in . the pines a melancholy dirge
As low and sad an if a fairy band
Were'slowly tolling distant funeral knells.
And now, in thoughtfulness, we sadly stand
And learn the tale of sorrow nature tells.
"The golden sunset deepens into night, •
When pensive songsters hymn their mournful
lays—
So cheerful spring, with hope and promise bright,
Ends in the still and solemn summer days—
Ends in the sadness of the falling leaf."
This is thelesson of that sunset; glad
Beginnings end in sorrow; joy is brief.
All Nature says, the end of things is sad.
It bringeth peace into the heart to dwell
With those we love for their nobility
Of soul: 'tis agony to say farewell;
Farewell—perchance to all eternity.
Why is the universe so full of grief?
E'en Nature seems a mourner at the bier
Of ruined man; in every rustling leaf,
In every murmuring brook, we seem to hear
A melancholy wail; this very world •
Records the flight of years with solemn toll—
A pendulum, by its Creator hurled,
To tick the countless ages as they roll.
Man's soul is sad; sad in its solitude,
E'en when it seems to others least alone
-8o many thoughts upon this soul intrude,
That never can be uttered, never known.
Man's history is sad. What's history
But this? The countless millions of the earth,
The wise and foolish, brave and cowardly,
All join, in sadness or in empty mirth, •
The funeral March of generations past,
And tramp with them through darkness to the
grave.
And will this gloom and crushing sadness last
Eternally? The good, the great, the brave!
Is there for them no glorious respite given?
Is there no land where sin and grief shall cease?
Glory to God! There is a land, a heaven!
There shall the mourners find eternal peace.
There shall the sunsets never fade away.
There eball the Sun of Righteousness abide,
And buret in one eternal, festal day.
Upon the soul redeemed and glorified.

FORGIVE YOUR ENEMIES.
BY MATTA MYTHE.
"Freddie, what are you thinking about?" in
quired Mrs. Lathrop, sighing ae she ceased to ply
her needle. But Freddie was too much absorbed
in thought to hear the words of his mother. His
little feet were placed upon the stove, and, with
his elbows upon his knees, and his head buried in
his hands, he presented the appearance of a sage
philosopher.
"Are you sick, my son 7" said the anxious mo
ther, as she hastened to his aide, and placed her
hand, upon his drooping head.
"Sick! no, dear mother, I am not ill," replied
the boy in a sad tone.
"But something has happened, Freddie, to pro-
duce such a change. Did you suffer with the cold
to-day, and was my old shawl an improvement
upon the thin scarf? It must have been warmer."
"Your shawl was very warm, dear mother, but
I shall not wear it any more," said Freddie.
"Not wear it again! Why not, my child?"
"For I can keep quite warm without it, and,
besides, I do not want to deprive you of its
use."
"Is this the only reason that Freddie has; or
has he another which be is trying to conceal from
his mother?" inquired Mrs. Lathrop.
"It is not the only reason. But, dear mother,
you have so many things to trouble you that I
cannot bear to tell you of my petty difficulties—
they are very trifling, I know, but I am sensi
tive. '
"But, Freddie dear, your mother loves to have
you confide in her. You are all she has left to
depend upon, for our little pet Nena is too young
for work. We must love and cherish her now,
and when she is grown, if God permits her to
Live, she will be a great comfort to us. Now, my
dear boy, ten 5e what - troubres . you. Have you
received censure from your school-master 7"
"Oh no, mother! not that, I hope! Oh! lam
so foolish, darling mother!" cried the sensitive
child, as he laid his head upon the breast of his
mother. "Every thing seems to worry me. How
I wish I were a man."
"A maul! Why, Freddie, I would much rather
have you, my own little son a few years longer to
love," said the fond mother as she passed her hand
over the damp looks of her weeping boy, who was
just beginning to learn life's severest lesson.
Freddie smiled through his tears. "It is well
my wish oannot be gratified, for I am so week—
end oh, mother, you cannot tell how I have
sinned," exclaimed the boy with a shudder.
`"Henry Welles, our landlord's son, commenced
to torment me this morning, because I was dressed
so poorly. Be called me a 4 pauper's son.'"
"Did that make my Freddie angry?" interrupted
his mother with surprise.
"Not angry, dear mother," continued the child,
"I should have recovered myself had he not said
more. Do you think, mother, he said our dear
Nena was dying with starvation. But oh, say she
is not I" oried the little fellow.
Mrs. Lathrop was astonished at this; but when
she cast her eyes upon the excited form of her
only' boy she recovered her self-composure suffi
ciently to say—
" And is that all Henry said, my child?"
"I would that it were," replied her eon; "bat
when he told that lie about our"— •
"A gentler word, toy son," interposed his mo
ther.
"How can T use gentle words ? When Henry
had told that wbich was false about my darling
eieter, I stood even that. But when he ridiculed
the beat of mothers, I struck him over and over
again."
" Oh, Freddie! how could you forget your
self."
41 I know I did wrong, dear mother,•but I was
so incensed at his wicked words that I did not
know what I did. lam sorry now that I struck
him," said Freddie, putting his arms around hit.
mother's neck.
Mrs. Lathrop gathered the form of her child
closer to her heart, for she knew that love alone
prompted such angry emotions to dwell in the
heart of her child. After a pearly tear had coursed
its way down her thin cheek, she raised the head
which was nestled so close to her form, and gazed
into the blue eyes of her loving boy.
How could that mother chide him for hastiness
when she knew that his warm affection for her in
duced such rashness?
" Freddie dear, you said. you knew you did
wrong by striking your school-mate. Now, can
you tell me what was the state of your heart at
that time?"
" Yes, ma'am, I hated him. And that is the
reason why I feel I am so wicked," answered
Freddie.
" You were right, my son, in feeling that you
were wicked. Now tell me, how did JESUS treat
those who persecuted hint?" said Mrs. Lathrop.
"He forgave them, dear mother," replied the
boy.
"Yes,
Freddie, He forgave them all. Now
can you forgive Henry W elles?" inquired his Tim-
Cher.
"No, ma'am. How could I, dear mother? He
insulted me," answered Freddie Lathrop, whose
cheeks commenced to burn at the remembrance
of Henry's unkind words.
"List'n to me, my son. Do you recollect what
our Saviour did before be forgave his enemies?"
"Yes, ma'am. He..prayed for them with his
dying breath," was .the quick rejoinder of the
boy.
"Now will you try to imitate his example by
praying for Henry ?"said Mrs. Lathrop.
"Oh, mother! how can I pray for him 7" ex
claimed the excited boy.
":You must try, Freddie. Promise me to pray
for Henry to-night, will you?" continued his mo- ,
ther as she stooped to kiss the burning cheek of
her. boy'.
" Yes, ma'am, I will do so to please you, darling
mother, and perhaps God will be pleased," replied
the boy.
"I know He will bless you in 'your effort, if
you will have faith. Hark! there is Nene crying
for her supper. How thankful we should be,
Freddie dear, that God has given us food for her
tiny mouth."
Nena Lathrop hastened through her supper in
order to have her customary frolic with Freddie,
whom she loved so much. Freddie began to feel !
quite happy by bed-time. After kissing his m
ther and sister he retired to his own room. He '
did not forget to mention Henry's name in his
evening prayer. The next day, Freddie, quite
forgetful of the unhappy circumstances of the pre
ceding day, started for school—studying by the
way.
Hurra, boys! now for fun! Here comes Fred
Lathrop!" cried Henry Welles, as Freddie turned
the corner by the play-ground. A cloud passed
over the smiling face of the latter as he saw his
old persecutor.
"For shame, Henry," exclaimed Willie Mead.
"You teased Fred enough yesterday. Let him
alone to-day."
"I won't. You stop preaching, Will Mead.
Come, boys."
" Hallo, Fred," commenced Henry; "have you
had any thing to eat this fine morning? Where
is your shawl? Mother been obliged to use it, eh?
or has that baby-sister kept it from you? If she
has, we must take up a subscription for you."
The tears stole into Freddie's eyes. But he
, remembered how his mother bad pleaded with
him the night before. "Henry," said Freddie,
stepping manfully up to his comrade, "yesterday
you treated me with scorn, but I did• not care.
But when you spoke so disrespectfully_ of my mo
ther, I was angry with you. And it was not un
til that very mother had entreated me so earnestly
to pray for you that I could forgive you. I do not
think you intended . ' to irritate me. You have just
now asked me whether I had enough to eat. I
answer you by saying, God has never forsaken us
in our• poverty. He has graciously given us
plenty of food. The Shawl I wore yesterday was
left at home, for the reason that I would much
rather do without it than to submit myself to ri
dicule. Now, Henry, can you shake hands ? I
am sorry I struck you yesterday, and spoke so
hastily. But I trust you can forgive me."
Henry was rather reluctant to place his hand
within that of his companion. But after a short
deliberation his naturally generous disposition
would not allow him to remain obdurate. He
manfully placed his hand within that of the "pan
per's son."
"You are right, Fred. It was I that did wrong.
I had no business to speak so of your mother, and
I am sure if you did the same of mine, I would
have treated you worse. I don't blame you a bit,
Fred."
"I was to blame ; Henry, for I was *ery angry,"
replied Freddie.
"Oh, pshaw I that's no difference. Now, Fred,
you must promise me to wear the gree l n shawl to
morrow, and promise that no one shall ridi
cule you. Can you forgive?"
"Oh, yes, a thousand times," was the reply
of Freddie, as the boys walked towards the school
house.
Mrs. Lathrop was pleased to watch the emote- ,
nance of• her son as he entered the house after
school was out.
"Ton have been happy, my son, I know, to
day, for your face tells me the tale."
"My face speaks the truth, then, dear mother,
for I have been happy. I shall always abide by
your advice in the future, and pray for them that
wrong me."
As Henry Welles wound his way across the
commons that night, he thought how generous
Fred had been, and he longed to be more like him.
After he had reached home he resolved to speak
to Freddie's mother and apologize for his ungen
tlemanly words. This resolution did not fail him,
for early next morning Henry was seen knocking
at the widow's cottage door.
Mrs. Lathrop freely forgave the impulsive boy,
and hesitated not to impart to him good advice.
"I cannot see how you can be so willing, Mrs.
Lathrop, to forgive me,"
said Henry, who was
surprised to be so quickly forgiven.
"My dear boy, Freddie and myself prayed for
you. This is our secret. Henry, have you
13eVel read that verse in the fifth chapter of Matthew,
' Love your enemies, bless them that curse you,_ do
good to them that hate you, and pray for them
which despitefully use you?' "
"No, ma'am, I never have, but twill to-night,"
said Henry.
"And won't you pray, too, dear Henry?" in
quired Fred tearfully.
"Yes, Fred, I will. But it is school-time, and
we must be off. Never fear, Mrs. _Lathrop, that
Fred will be persecuted again while I am by him.
Good by!" exclaimed Henry.. •
Mrs. Lathrop smiled, and offered a silent prayer
fur the two boys as they left the cottage, hand in
hand. Henry Welles had learned a lesson that
day which he could not soon forget. Many would
be the times, when the old spirit would rise in his
heart and tempt him to tease and torment those
whom God, iu His wisdom, had situated, in limited
circumstances. But he had learned Freddie's se
cret, and now knew how to "forgive our enemies."

upon their pegs; see the bandboxes without
covers, and all the horrible paraphernalia of a
lazy, vapid, inefficient, vacant, idealess female
monstrosity, who , will of course be chosen out of a
bevy of practical, good, common-sense girls, by
some man who prides himself on "his knowledge
of women," as his "help-meet" for life! I use
the word "monstrosity" advisedly; for even in
the cell of a prison I have seen wretched females
trying, with woman's beautiful instinct, to brighten
and beautify the bare walls with some rude colored
print. Thank Heaven! the untidy woman is the
exception, not the rule. Would we could say the
same of the untidy man.

FEMALE EDUCATION AND HEALTH.
Rev. W. W. , Corneil, M. D, thus writes to the
Boston Home Nona(y, for March, in regard to his
Sanitarium, or school for the training of females
in poor health, as advertised in this paper:
For a considerable time, I have been uniting
medical practice and education, or the physical
and mental, or a hygienic and literary education.
I had done this, in a measure, for several years
previous to removing from Massachusetts. But
Boston, while it had many advantages over all
other towns and cities in America, had this great
disadvantage: it is too bleak and •chilly, during
the latter part of the winter and the whole of the
spring months, either for a suitable "Sanitarium,
for the comfort of the feeble, or the recovery of
the invalid. This fact, in addition to another, to
wit, my own health, induced me to look around
for some more cougenial clime; and, after looking
here and there this city of Philadelphia seemed
the most feasible•for such an institution, combining
as'it does, a'elimate not so cold as - Boston, nor so
hot as the "SOnny South." Hither I came.
Our plan is this. We have usually had some
who were patients only. (There are none but la
dies in the Sanitarium.) These have no study, as
health is their first object sought. These take but
little medicine. • Moderate exercise, good spirits,
cheerful company; movement of the muscles arti
ficially, if not able to do it naturally; gymnastic's,
so far as able, and proper diet, are the usual Wu
tine for this class.
Those who are able to study enter in the school
room at nine in the morning, and spend as much
of the time there, till two o'clock (with the excep
tion of two recesses, one - of half an hour, and ano
ther of ten minutes,) as is proportionate to their
health and strength.
Reading is a principal exercise. Pupils are en
couraged to read aloud, as an exercise calculated
to promote health.
A large part of the instruction is given in the
form of lectures; and, among these, some theme of
practical physiology is spoken upon every day.
This course is not only instructive, but amusing.
Indeed special care is given by all the assistant
teachers to have every subject presented in a
pleasing and amusing light. The tedium or irk
someness of the usual school exercises is thus
broken up, and the pupil gains health, knowledge,
and a good disposition, all at the same time.

KISS BREMER AND THE POPE.
Miss Fredrika Bremer lately had an interview
with the Pope, thus described in her "Life in the
Old World:
Before entering the Pope's room I had to wait.
yet a little in a well-lighted corridor, where two
Cardinals politely took charge of me. The oldest,
still young—a handsome, fan., very tall gentleman,
with. quite a worldly appearance, under the cede
siastical cloak and cap, (Monsignore di Nero . de,)
talked .about.my•writings, with which I am sure
that he was only acquainted from a critical.notice
of them, Thigh has lately appeared in a Fiench
paper, the Constautionnel.
He supposed that I was "a Catholic?"
I replied in the ne g ative; - ,-
"o'. but you must become one. YOu must be
converted; you must not stop half way! Alady ;
such as you"--and so on. .
He was interrupted by the summons to the
Pope. I entered, attended by Monsignore di Me
rode, who knelt at the door, and then left me alone
with "His Holiness."
I saw at the further end of an oblong, light, and
very simply furnished room, a man of stout but
handsome figure, , standing at a writing-table,
dressed in .a long white garment, with scarlet lap
pets and cap. I made one low courtesy at the
dour, another in the middle of the room in obe
dience to the Pope's sign to me to advance, and
yet a third as I approached him and took my stand
on the same little carpet with him, which I did
in accordance with his friendly indication of his
will. (For such persons as do not kneel to the
Pope, are required by the ceremonial to make three
courtesies or bows.). •
The portraits-of the Pope are in general like
him, but his full, - short, and broad countenance
has, when seen more , nearly, less expression of
kindness, and considerable more of self-wilt and
temper, than the portraits exhibit. The glance of
the blue eye is 'lively, but not profound, and is de
ficient in earnestness. The complexion and phy.-
sique generally indicate the best Of health, a good
appetite—and a good cook.
The Pope cast his eye on a written paper which
be held in ;his. band, and 'having inquired about
my country and place. of residence, added, "You
have written . somewhat ?"
.31 - .self—Y es, your. Holiness; novels of domestic
life—wore propefly descriptions of life, but in the
form of novels.
The Pope—But you are a Catholic'?"
Myself—No, your Holiness—not a Roman Ca
tholic.
The. Pope—Then you must become'one. There
is no completeness or consequence out of the Ca
tholic church.
ilireff--Permit me, your Holiness, to ask a
question?
The Pope—Yes, ask it.
Myse/f—l love, with my whole ,beart, our Lord
and Master, Jesus Christ. I believe in His divi
nity; in'His redeeming efficacy for me and the
whole world; I will alone obey and serve Him.
Will your Holiness not acknowledge me as a Chris
tian ?
The Pope—For a Christian? Most certainly
But— -
Myself—And as a member of -the church of
Christ?
The POpe—Ye--s, in a certain sense; but—
but then people must acknowledge as true every
thing which this church says and enjoins. You
ought not in the meantime to believe that the
Pope sends to hell all who do not acknowledge the
infallibility of the Catholic church. No, I be
lieve that many persons of other creeds may be
saved, by living according to the truth which they
acknowledge. I believe so, most certainly.
Myself—lt delights me infinitely, to hear this
from your Holiness. Because I have cherished
the hope of finding in your Holiness a more right
eous judge, as regards these questions, .than in
many other Catholics, who say, "You are not a
Christian; you cannot be saved, if you do mot, in
all respects; believe as we and our church do." •
The Ape—ln this they are wrong. But yen
see, my daughter, people should be able to give
an account of their Christian belief; not believe
alone in generals, but believe in the separate parts
of a doctrine. It is already something to believe
in the second person of the Godhead, and in his
incarnation; but it is necessary alio` to believe in
the institution which he founded on earth, other
wise there can be in reality no faith in him. And
people must believe in the Pope. The Pope is
Christ's representative on earth.

ONLY ONCE
"Did you ever attend the theatre?" said a young
man to a blue-eyed maiden, who hung on his arm
as they promenaded the streets of New York one
mild evening in October. The cheek of the lady
crimsoned with a blush as she answered the inter
ro;atory in a negative, and added : "My mother
bas taught me from childhood that it was wrong
to attend such places." "But your mother formed
perhaps improper prejudices, from exaggerated ac
counts given by others- '
for I have often heard her
say she never attended one in her life." And he
spoke eloquently safthe drama, tragedy and comedy;
and dwelt with pathos on the important lessons
which we there learn of lumen nature. "Go with

precept and example, as she hesitatingly replied,

ANCIENT .A Augmßar SECESSION
ACCORD - TO THE 'FRENCH.
Translated from the Courier, du Havre, Jan. 22d,
Since South Carolina has given the signal for
the rupture of 'the American- Union, the word
"secession " has' been often employed to denote
the movement towards separation which has com
menced. This*: , rd is not formed from the
English languageas might be supposed; it has
belonged for more that: thirty years to our philo
sophical language]. into which it was introduced
by one of, the 111 exalted minds of that time,
1
the profound and i pdest 13allanche, author of the
" Palingenesie So ale." But the word and the
thing are far from roperly belonging to the great
unknown philosop r. Plebeian secessions, to the
number of three, arked the three great epochs
of Roman BistorAand to them should be applied,
rather 'than to theabulou.s alitrentures of lEneas,

Finally, the thi ' secession took place to the
Janiculum, and *a intended to establish the
sanctity of plebeimaynarriages and the legality of
unions between ple'ians and patricians, which was
interdicted by thet
w of the "Twelve. Tables."
I
In their three secessions, the Roman plebeians
realized three-great social- conquests—the true
right of man—personal liberty, virtue, ,and
legiti
mate marriaue 2: or `as the- great Roman jurists
say:
" Persarip,miticitia, juste nuptim."
The secession emerit on the other side of
the Atlantic is no absolutely without precedent
in history, and the Carolinians can find in the
history of an ancied republic a name for this act,
only that between:?the secessions of the Roman
plebeians and that of thd(heretofore United) States
of the South, there is this fundamental difference:
that the former withdrew themselves from a society
founded,upon a most odious privilege and a most
intolerable system of oppression; while the Ame
rican secessionists break a Union established by
their fathers, because that Union appears to them
to threaten--right or wrong—an odious privilege,
an abominable right of oppressing human beings.
The slaveholding is thus exactly the opposite of
the Roman secessions, and if these latter have
been the glorious beginning and immutable founda
tion of the grandeur of the Roman people, that
which is now taking place on the other side of the
Atlantic appears in the social and political history
of young America a shameful event, and the com
mencement of a social decay which will cause the
civilization of twenty centuries to retrograde, if
success should orown that impious attempt.
i.
A Premise and lit Cpnclnsion.—At A hoarding
house at Milledgevilke, the day on which the ordi
nance of secession. passed, some of the delegates,
who were impatient o be out in the crowd who were
shouting for the in ependent State of Georgia, re
proached the cook far nut having supper earlier.
He replied, "Well, gem'men, I hear you say dis
morning, you wouldabe out'n the 'Nited States 'fore
tree 'clock to-day; and I thought 'twould be late 'fore
you get back to supper." They•eacused him.
Colonization,—The Kentucky Colonization So

that State, from the embarrassing position in which
they have been placgd by its free negro law, which
went into operation On the Ist of January, 1861, of

THE SINGER SEWING MACHINES.
The marked, and ever extending, popularity of
SINGFR'S SEWING MACHINES, both in America
and Europe, is such as best to establish their superiority
over ail others in the market. Sewing machines (so
called) may be bought, it is true, for a smaller amount
of dollars, but it is mistaken economy to invest anything
in a worthless or unreliablel,llkticle, and those who do
mustso abide the consequence!

DEAR STR; In the Fall of 1848, I was attacked with a

at times rendering me entirely speechless. I tried for
nearly a year all the remedies which were recommended
for my disease, under. the most skilful physicians, but
unfortunately witkout success: I was at last about to
give up in despair, when a kind friend thought of your
EXPECTORANT. I procured a bottle of it, and before I had
entirely used the whole of it, I felt manifest symptoms
of a change for the better. I continued on using it, and
by the time I had taken five bottles, I found myself

sure to add my feeble testimony in favor of your iuvalu

by inteligent physicians a confirmed consumptive. By
the very free use of your EXPECTORANT I recoveree..
using it, I surpassed the directions, as I took it in nau

Th e Rev. Eugenia Kincaid, a Missionary in Burntatt
writes:—
- RAT:GOON, March 29,1353.
It is rare that we use any medicine except your pre
parations. About three months since, a Burman female
of rand, who called on us, as we learned from her hus
band, bad suffered for EWRTT TEARS with ASTHMA, and
often, for weeks together, bad been unable to sleep,
except in a sitting posture.
It was painful to look upon her emaciated frame and
distressed countenance. Feeling quite satisfied that
no medicine could restore her to health, we (i. e., Dr.
Dawst.n and Mr. Kincaid) thought only of affording
some temporary relief, and gave her about one-third of
a bottle of your Exrccroaarr. One week after, her
husband came for more, and informed us that, for the
first time in eight years she hail slept sweetly. In one
month and a half she was entirely restored, and has
increased nearly one-fifth in weight.
Our sister, you recollect, took your ALTERATIVE - for

"Aired her. Yours, &c.,

Guru.Enierr:—We have recovered the Herring's
Patent Champion Safe, of your make. which we bought
from you nearly five years ago, from the ruins of our
huilding, No. 716 Chestnut street, which was entirely
.lestroyeilby fire on the morning of the 17th inst.
So rapid was the progress of the flames, before we
could reach the store, the whole interior was one !Wass
of fire. The Safe being in the back part of the store,
and surrounded by the most combustible materials, was
exposed to great heat. It fell with the walls of that
part of the building into the cellar, and remained im
bedded in the ruins for more than thirty , hours.
The Safe was opened this morning in the presence of
a number of gentlemen, and the contents, comprising
our books; bills, receivable money, and a large amount
of valuable papers, are all safe; not a thing was touched
by fire..
Respectfully, yours,
