fireside, the compinionship of good books

against flowring streams, early greens and
livery horses. On Tuesday evertino, after a
rather moist day, a miserable; driving

to us that the grains (not flakes) had been

upon face and hands. Wednesday morning

ineltes of snow on the ground; and the

in the night and before Thursday had laid

for the t.ccurid time this season connects

they have no vote, and as he has inflicted
the weather upon them they must bow to his
will and the whips of the ungodly.
I'iae.—On last Sunday evening aboth
half past nine o'clock the carpenteer shop
occupied by Mr. Alichael Lihhart, situated
on the alley south of Locust Street betweeh
Second and Third swag, *as discovered
to be on fire.. Alarm was given and the
firenien with their apparatus were on the
ground as soon as possible. By the time the
engines were in working order, however,
the entire shop and adjoining sheds were in
flames. It was evident that no part of the
burning property could be saved, so the of
forts of the firemen were mainly directed
to staying the spread of the fire. On either
side of the shop and sheds stood a frame sta
ble, ono ; that or Mr: Jas. Vaughen, con
taining hay, feed, &a., the other, on the lot
of Mrs: Lowrey, being newly erected and
unfinished. Both these buildings, as well
as the more valuable dwellings on Locust
Street, in dangerous proximity to the fire,
were, by unceasing exertions on the part of
the firemen and citizens, saved from de
strue ion. The night was, fortunately, calm,
ff or even the faithful stork of our untiring
fireman—untiring in the face of continued
neglect on the part of authorities and citi
hens to furnish them a decent supply of hose
so long and so loudly demanded—would
scarcely have sulft-ed to control the confla
gration. In the shop and adjoining out
buildings there was a considerable quantity
of finished work fur the interior of outbuild
ings, which was entirely consumed, togeth
er with a portion of machinery. The shop
was of bri.:k, with sheet-iron linings to the
shutters, and had stood while the destruc-
t -the fire of 1516, originating on the same
premises, swept almost the entire square
around it. The fire was evidently the work
of on incendiary, kindled inside the shop,
and so effectually as to insure its headway
before discovery. The work of destruction
was speedy, the buildings being in smoking
ruins in about an hour after the alarm was
first given. We base not learned the exact
amount of the damage, but believe the
property wag fully in.sured.

Mr. l'isber succeeded Mr. Merxes,, and
while doncurring with the leetuftf in the
necessity of reform in prison discipline, yet
could, froM his own professional experience,
testify to improvements which wefd Making
their way among the penitentiaries and
county prisons of the country.
Rev. S. Appleton argued that of the three
motives fur the punishment or criminals—
ven geance,exam pl e and refurrtf— , - the last two
only were admisssible. The motive of a pa
rent in justly pttnishln,g a Child should be
the true model on which to base the punish
ment of an offender against the laws.
Mr. Albright while he agreed with the
apparently unanimous sentiment in favor
of the moral re6rmation' of the criminal,
yet differed with the previous spent.ers on
the finegtion of human forgiveness. As
punishment was administered fur example,
the more extended and unforgiving the in
fliction, the More terrible and eirectual time
warning.
Mr. Greider considered that the reforma
tion of criminals should commence with re-
Moving the temptations and inducements to
crime. Many a min sinned through want
and idleness. Give every man sufficient re
tritmerative work, and as very few men
choose the relic of criniinals a reformation
will speedily result.
Mr. Oberlin differed with the lust speaker.
It was with a man to do right or wrong in
despite of all adverse influences. Teach the
um to resist the importunities of want,
idleness, association, or. what not. The
speaker thought a reformed criminal should
meet with sympathy; but what avail reform•
ation or sympathy after a man is hanged.
Capital punishment should be abolished.
br. McCorkle thought that bd t an inutile
quote idea of the: working of our systems of
prison government was to be formed from
the reirwt of inspectors, visiting committees,
&c. The gala dress was always put on, nn
the coming of visitors. Under keepers ha.l
too much latitude allowed them in their
treatment of prisoners.
Mr. llitumg,ardner considered that the
greates'o•vil in our prison discipline is lack
of erttployment for prisoners. Much evil
example might be avoided by a j u di c i ous
system of labor.
The lecture for next Thursday evening
was not announced.

SIGNATURE Or THE CROSS.—The mark
which persons who are unable to write are
required to make instead of their signature
is in the form of a cross, and this practice,
having formerly been followed by kings and
nobles, is constantly referred to as an in
stance of the deplorable ignorance of an
c:ent times. This signature is not, how
ever, invariably proof of suet' ignorance; an
ciently, the use of this mark was not con
fined to illiterate persons; for amongst the
Saxons the mark of the cros4, ns an attesta•
tion of the good faith of the person signing,
was required to be attached to the signa
ture of those who could write, as well as to
stand in the place of the signature of those
who could not write. In those times, if a
man could write, or even read, his know.
ledge was considered proof presumptive that
he was in holy orders. The word clericim
or cleric was synonymous with penman; and
the laity, or people who were not clerks, did
not feel any urgent necessity for tiid use of
letters. The ancient use of tho cross was
therefore universal, alike by those who
could and those who could not write; it was
indeed, the symbol of an oath from its holy
associations, and generally the mark. On
this account Mr. Charles Eight, in his notes
to the Pictorial Shakspeare, explains the ex
pression of ••Clod save the mark," as a form
of ejaculation approaching to the character
of an oath. This phrase cedars three or
more times in the plays of Shakspeare; but
hitherto it has been left by the comments.-
