Indeed, he has himself oharged me to regard him in this light; and; by a faculty peculiar to himself, has breathed the spirit Of this intimacy into my heart. My Mend is erecting for himself a mansion, which in magnificence and beauty- shall be worthy of his name and character. All the splendors of an oriental palace are to he dim In the contrast. All the past glories of archi tecture are to sink into insignificance beneath the majesty and beauty of this seat of his great new. When all is done, he intends to 'invite me, with myriads more who have shared his favor, to a grand banquet in this mansion; and there he win permit os to gaze upon the. work, and admire,its fitness, and celebfatehis inaugu ration 1 as ifs nJaster and head. While the erection and famishing of this mansioh Is in progress, my sentfittelta Of gfaia -tnde- and affection lead me to wish that I might make some humble contribution towards the ornaments which are to grace its apartments; that when the great day of festival shall arrive, there may not be, wanting some trifling memo rial of my desire to add to the glory which the sight will reflect upon its lord. ’Too freely ad mitted to Ms confidence to allow of reserve, I have whispered the wish of my heart into his ear. He is not offended with the presnmption of the request, bttt regards it as another bright link in the chain of affection which binds me to himself, and he promises to consider what ser vice I shall render. After a little while, he tells me of his pur pose to beautify his mansion with the richest specimens b£ living flowers from every land; collected and arranged in such order as to form a scene of surpassing loveliness. , While my heart is captivated by the taste displayed in the design, he proposes to use, as my share in contributing-to these adornments, to take a germ which he has provided, and which will grow and bnd and expand into a beantifdl little rose; and it shall be my task to guard and nourish the plant until it has thus blos somed, when be will come and bear it away to its destined use. With a thrill of grateful joy I accent the commission. I transfer to mv xvp« tiw ii'Hmii iuuiams mo [ireciOdß charge. With what assiduity do I water the earth around its roots wit)} what beamings pf delight do I watch its growth from day to day. I see the bud forming. I see the flower break ing through its parting prison. It expands and opens; and now, full blown, takes its ruddy, smiling glow from the-airs of Heaven. Gazing with rapture, I admire it for its own sake, but most or all, for the grateful destiny which awaits it, and towards which been per*' mitted to contribute. Its bloom is unfolding for tbe mansion of my friend; and its fragrance will soon mingle with the breath of ail which diffuse their odors through its halls. And my friend is faithful to remember the little tribute.which I wished to afford fbwards the scSne of bis greatness. He has come job my Rosa Is thiß a moment for selfishness to obtrnde its narrow spirit? Is this- a moment for me to forget why I desired the care of the little rose; to forget the mansion; to forget my friend in a sordid wish to keep as my own what I received on tbe trust of grateful love ? I will tale one fond look of the precious charge as I deliver it np. Go, my sweet rose, and de light the eye of Him with thy loveliness. Go, where the atmosphere and the scene better J>efit tbee. and there fling out thy beanties in peren nial bloom. X will take one fond? look, but not the last. Igo to the mansion soon. Soon he will bring me to bis banqueting house; and the summons will be the more welcome, because I shall see that flower in its immortal freshness: When the mansion is completed and displayed before tbe assembled guests of my Friend; when the flowers gathered from all climes are shed ding their beapties and exhaling their.fragrance through its apartments, lighted above the bright ness of the sun with undying light, then 1 wili seek out my little rose. I will behold with ecs tacy its hoes, redolent of life, and inhale its odor the same as when I first knew it, bat as much purer as the air which snrronnds it is more celestial.

The following anecdote Was told by a missionary at one of the Spring anniversaries in London:— “Do you wish an example of prayer? let megivo you one, pro I close, bn the subject of Indian and you will see that it is an example that may be fol lowed by others. .Thgre was one in our mission who long resisted the. power of truth; we could not bring her tqbdar' Of Christ, hut, .after rteceiW lag the truth, she welcomed Christ to her heart, and has been a faithful follower of the Lord since. But she was not satisfied with that alone. She had a mother, and. when that mother, heard of Christ she would have none of Him, and when her daughter became a Christian she* would bßt; speak.to her in the street. But the daughter knew that there was a power above that had touched' he'f own heart, and she believed Would touch her mo ther’s heart too. She pleaded earnestly and con stantly with Cod, and after a while to our surprise —shall I say toour suprise?-—why skould it be .a surprise that Hod should hear and answer prayer. He who has revealed himself as the answerer of all prayer, and .who gi.ves us constan t lessons that He will listen to our petitions; is* it not a rebuke toour faith that we should : use : SUbß MhguSge?. We should rather wonder, my Christian friends,’ that God does not answer. Be this as it may, the mother ope day met her .daughter in the street and said, ‘ Oh, daughter,l have been thinking on what you said'to me,'and a thought has come across me that I should like to-know more ’about JgStfs/ o.f whom you spepk,’ Sjie afterwards .came, to the since been a faithful follower of the Lord. The same woman had a sister also in heathen darkness. She-pleaded for her sister, and thatsister and -the husband of that sister, with all the members of-the family, in answer to the prayers of that woman, became one family in Christ, to be united, I be lieve, for over before/ the throne bf God and the Lamb. When the last of t.ho family was brought in, the old mother brought, as a token of her gratitude, ten shillings to the missionary society. The same woman, I must add, had a son, given, I- believe, in answer to her prayers, a most- pro mising youth, who Kas becu trained np to go.foftli and preach Christ to his perishing countrymen/ There, my Christian Mends, is an example of pray er! and: the power of prayer.

By this fearful occurrence, property to the amount of 875,000,000 was destroyed, and houses to the extent of three acres eonsuhied. We quote the following particulars from the London times. ; It was not in the dead of the night,, but on a Summer afternoon, Jnfie*22d,that the fire brigade in Watling Btreet was summoned [to Cotton’s wharf," close to bridge, on the south side Of the Thames. The bngines, directed., by the chief of the brigade in person, were quickly on the spot, when it Was4i>uha that a fire had broken outin a first storyof a warehouso.. The building was perfectly new, and constructed onap proved principles of architbefare; strong party walls, pro vided with iron doors, divided'the fabric, ahd'the warehouses in .the viepity were deputed to .he fire proof also. The .place had not been abandoned for the.night; the workmen were still on the spot t and one of them actually-diseovered in-a-small heap of smoking hemp the germ of that confla gration which Befqre inidnight Was represented by three acres of flame.; Unhappily, the 4 smoko at that early period pj-btccted the fire, So dense were its volumes as to forbid all approach, and the flame was: left to uo. its work. Still there was a vast array of enginasin the street, as well as on the stream; there .was a trained' brigade of fito men; conducted by ajcoiirageous and experienced leader; thbfe was 'U strbng" Bbdy of tpplibe to aid in keeping order, and (Aere were fire-proof walls to contend against fire.. tßut, bf all these appliances, pot one availed to control the flames. They burst forth from the first- warehouse, and seized another. Iron and brick; though" they .did not actually blaze; yet burnt through afid through, till they became red-hot masses. fflfr. 'JBraidhrood, the chief of the brigade, at. once discerned the true state of the case,and preffcteffjfifembis survey the magni tude;oftheeonflagratioS‘.: It was the last opinioii he wasifktedsta'ottoil A few minutes later, as he Was placing his post, Snd encouraging them by his directions’ add example, he met His death. ; A tremendSi® explosion of saltpetre in a vault’shbdk down the entire frontage of a ware house, and he was: Buned under the ruins. . His fall dismayed his mejt, already distressed by the severity of their duties, and yet-., they rushed like Brave followers to hkrescue—but in vain. A second explosion drove them from the spot, and" the asoeudency of the',fire was now complete. It does not s'Cem, that there was ever much chance of subduing the flames even from the fifet, but from this moment the contest was decided. The brigade was poyrhfless. All our great en gines and all our trained firemen were of bo avail. Our fire proof • buildings failed to keep out' the fire, aud it depended simply upon the force and direction ofthewind* how much of Southwark, might be ldft standing on Monday mbbnitfg.- ' ■- ‘ , Providentially, thq [flight was calm j yet every .nowand then, little gust came: up the river," the redoubled tear of the flames,and 1 the flakes-of fire launched into the atmosphere, showed the 1 "magnitude of the peril. Even as it was, the spectacle and the rtnp are without parallel iu our time. Three oif ground were gradually covered with a mass of fire, glowing and crack ling at a white heat ijke;*a lake of imolten iron. The saltpetre, the tallbw,the tar, and the other combustibles stored ib the warehouses, ran blazing into the river, till the' very stream appeared r tb be covered with flames. Ships were burned as well as houses, and the danger to life was almost as great on tbe Thames, aS in the street. The glare of" the conflagration was not flnlyJvisiblej b'ut Stri kingly conspicuous, thirty!miles' off. The multi tude of spectators was enormous, and the excite ment incredible. We may truly say, indeed, that never, for two centimes, has the metropolis seen such a-catastrophe. • .... . iffe. original account peems to indicate pretty clearly the probable origin of the fire; It is: not the first time'that hemp and jute have been found in spttntaueous combustion; 'but two circumstances' are- reported which'may'hive conduced to thi} spread of the conflagration, and the helplessness of those.whd atteinptfed 'to-sutfdue i£. The work ? men' employed in the warehouse had omitted, it is said,,.to elosetbetiron, dpors .by which communi cation was mamtaiuedlfcweantiie several, divisions of the building, .and iw the is to say, at the,very time when the play of the engines would .'have' Been most leffecfiye—there was but little water to . Be obtained., . Whether the flames could have Been, got under at this par ticular juncture must now remain matter of specu lation only; but it seems.piaiu thatßy-gmiclock the fire had established Its mastery’ and that man’s efforts were vain. t From that time was seen how limited l are the powers of; modern Science.: : The ne'w buildings would have resisted an ordinary fire, but not a fire like this. The most prodigious jets .of water went for nothing against acres of flame. A steady breeze from the river, .and half Southwark might; have been in ruins. Happily, the air was still; but soi terrible has been the dan ger that we may look even upon this calamity in the light.of an escape. The Toms of the;2stlf; adds: „ The huge pile, of rt|infceaused ,by,,this fearful disaster continues asj ; unapproachable as ever.

WASHINGTON’S DISAPPOINTMENTS. We might puzzle our .brain with the .question of Washihgton’s great disappointment in regard to the destiny of saw the advantages of his native State.- “-Look,’’ said he to Sir John Sinclair, “look at a map of the Uoited Stotes. See Virginia neither frozen like New-- England,''not scorched liko the' Carolinas and Georgia. See her water-courses and her fruitful soil. Observe her Potomac coming down from tbe very head-waters of the Ohio, and furnishing the nearest-and best line, of artificial water-coajmuni cation with the great West. Here, on the banks of the Potomac, will be" the centre of commerce and of civilization on this continent; The-Capi tol of the United States will be the London of the New World." These were Washington’s expec tation's. But Virginia has missed this destiny,' and. steadily subsided from her original pre eminence. Westefn commerce seeks tbe ocean byr the round-about routes of; Pennsylvania and New-Yofk. The question, Why? is troublesome ly' intrusive, and before We can accept, without misgivings, the superiority of fier Civilization; the change of her fruitful fields to Wastes must have a satisfaetdry explanation. INTELLECTUAJL ABILITY OP THE AERI- ...v.,,;.::,, can, . * .Rev. Dr. 3. L. Wilson, .late Secretary of the Presbyterian ‘Board of Missions, and who was-bim self a missionary for twenty years' on the coast :of Africa, in hiS work bn Western Africa thus pyes His impression, of the capacityhf that mce;' While admitting that they are,ignorant, superstitious, and demoralized, he contends that it is the- circum stances of their heathenism, and not anything in herently to them as a race, and that there is no their elby&tidn iWhffh would not apply equally to all other uncultivated races. He says, “Compared with tbe civilized nations of the earth, their Steficiehcieeare';'palpable enough j but "cdffipared“with' tbe South Sea islanderS pre vious to. the period when they were brought un der the ipflueneo of Christianity, the Indian tribes pf .our .own country Who had never enjoyed the blessings of. education, or .even .with the great . masses of ignorant poor Who: throng all. the great cities of the civilized world, they do not appear to any’disadvantag e whateyer. No man can live among them without being impressed with their natural energy of character, their shrewdness and close observation, the skill and cunning with which they can drive a .bargain, and the perfect adroit ness with which they can practise upon the tm suspectiog credulity of white men. Very few white then have ever had any considerable deal ing with them who cannot recount innumerable instances in which they. have been overreached, even when they were exercising the utmost vigi lance ; and such is their closeness of observation, that they will ordinarily find out much more about the general character and disposition of a White man in a fbw hours, than he will of them in as many months or years.” Dr. Wilson concludes that when brought under .the benign. influence of Cbristiaoity, the African exemplifies the; Beauty and consistency, of religion more thin perhaps any 'dther huriian being bn the face of the earth.
