There is a word whose magic power breathes o'er each varied -eerie, Aril sheds a hallo bright and clear, upon the darkest dream — : Tis fraught with happiness and cheer, love dwelU-in j every tone, While earth's remor-sT welkin rings, with notes of ••honre, sweet home." Some say this world is dark and drear, a picture nought hut shade, And sighs ami tears the treasures are, which on it shrine are laid— It mav be so to those who tread life's vale unloved, alone, Who-e bosom's ne'er have felt the thrill which spring-from "home,'sweet home." 1 met a timid, trembling girl, upon whose heart and mind, Affliction deep had set its seal, for she, alas, was blind I An! though around her youthful brow '-a night of years*' was thrown, she -itirg of happ.> and y, ar 1 talked of '-home, sweet home." ! visited the maniac's cell, arid beard the ravings wild, 1)1 the aged, arid the youthful; and one poor helpless child; And while I gazed upon the wreck, where reason ; once had shone, My tears fell fast, for mid their woe, they spoke of "home, sweet home." The pebbly brook, the warbling bird, the storm king's angry shriek, Are echoes of that vo ce divine which *o earth'.- children -peak. The queen of li ght, the twinkling stars, that shire in Heaven's blue dome. Sued o'er the soul their influence sweet, and point to "home, sweet home." And thus in every clime and age, where foot of man has trod. The world teems with the beautiful, the gifts of na ture's God. T.ove lends a radiance bright and clear, to guide the spirit on, Where the wicked cea-e from trouble, and the weary rest at home. Green-burg. April 7, 1557. From the Pittsburg I'o-t. Destructive Fire in South Piltskisrjr. One of the ni'ist destructive conflagrations which we ha vr 1 -en compelled to record re cently, occurred in Pitts! tug yesterday morn ing. It broke out in the machine si •j> }James Mellinger's extensive pianino tr>ill ami sash 1 ic t irv, which together with the entire null was consumed, as w "II as an adjoining brick owner! by Mis. Rvan, and a frame owt <d and occupied !;v Bernard Mallnv. The whole amount of ■ nqierty <i< st.rov ed will foot up ir in §Bf Ll'ftO to §90,000 —on which th re is not an msii ranceot one-fourth. Tim mtil in qmsti n was situated in Carson street. The buildings of which Mr. M"!iing*'r's es tablishment uas made up were built of brick, and constructed a few. years -inceat a very hea vy expense, Thev end raced everything iwc c->arv for a first class planing shop, and sash and dour factory —so that this establishment was the most extensive and complete of the kind in i the West. The machinery, which is a total ] >s-, was very valuable,and of such a churac t<i as not to he easily replaced. But a few months ago an addition was made toil at an ex pense of § 10,000 or §1*2,000. fn the one i t"in of machinery alone Mr. M. will 1 " sort e $25,000. It is impossible to compute the val ue of the lumber destroyed. fire \\ indovv and sash stuff on hand, we are credibly informed, was valued at $30,000, arid of this perhaj - not $2,000 escaped. The lumber hum Ii- estima ted to have been worth s >me 1-0,00 ): hut tub is a mere irucss, and the loss on this particular item will not, in our opinion, prove quite so heavy as reitorted. The total amount of lum ber destroyed, it is estimated, cannot fall short of 2,000,000 fe"t, while Mr. M"l linger'? grcs* los will he in the neighborhood of $Nf),OOO. It is said the insurance amounts to $!(>,00f). divided thus : Fn the Pennsylvania Insntance Totnpany, §6,000, one thousand <>l which is on the planing mil! building, and the balance on the lumber ; Western oflicv, $3,000, two-thirds of which was on the planing mi!!, and one third on the machinery; State Mutual $O,OOO. five thousand of which was on the lumber, ars i one on the saw-mill; Farmer's and Mechan ics' 1,000, five hundred of which was on the budding, arid the balance on the machinery. Mrs. Ryan, a u idow, had a brick house, wort!) some twelve hundred dollars, reduced to a ! • ap of ruins. She had no insurance. '1 he house was occupied hy .1. Fisher and the w i low Landrap, both of whom saved their furniture "t a damaged state. Barney Malloy lad a frame building, worth $OOO, hurried to tile ground. Barney is absent hunst-lfi down the fiver, and his family saved but little of their ef fects. fie i s not insured. A brick house, oivn "d hv Patrick Riley, was considerably injured. He is insured in the Western office for $5OO, which will mote than cover his loss. Charles retiring;, boat joiner, who occupied the front budding; in Mr. Mellinger's factory, but worked "n his own account, is a loser to the amount of $BOO. Jfo j- not insured. The Duqnesne and "ie Eagle were the only engines in service from "us side of tfie river. A small engine, the S!i -20, belon<rin<T to Lvon ik.
