His mother :had been ' fair in girlhood—very fair—and . , though the bloom had forsaken her cheek la foie James could remember her, there was still a melting tenderness itMwr soft, blue 'eye, and a loving smite on her, i ip, which seem-. cd.to illumine the naked, dripping walls,) 'when the wintry . ttorms, beat in upon them. ; And there'were days of summer sunshine', —blessings indeed to the• poor—when the I wreathing vine, with . a rich canopy of leaves and flowers hid the rough exterior of the cottage, and the wild flowers grew about the door, sweet and beautiful as if planted in a palace garden.

' t '0 DOSING TRAYELLE4 A Hotel Eeene. fly 11. KOSIIdOT. • IL was at one of the extensive hostelries which are to be "tied up to" in most of, the largo. towns in the interior of New York, that the following scene actually ! occurred, as can-be proved by a cloud of witnesses who. have heard the landlord tell the story. The hotel referred to was, on the occa sion of which we are speaking, rather full. and the nephew of the landlord lay sick in one of the rooms on the third floor.— fie .was to receive medicine during the night from the hands of a person who had been procured to "watch" with him. The landlord had instructed the aforesaid watch ;er to administer a portion of some little physic to the patient at 12 o'clock ; the dose to be repeated at certain hours of the night. "He is very techy," said the landlord, I ''and you had better keep out of his room until you go up to give hin►> the medicine." "Oh, for that matter," riiplied the watch er, who was a novice in the vocation, "1 prefer to sit here ;" and he eyed me sofa which was in the apartment, is suspicious manner. "Well," said the landlord, "vou won't forget tic number of the room?' "No, sir." • "And tell him he must take the 'medi cine without making such a confounded fuss as he made with the last dose. Tell him I say hc must take it—it's good for liim.". - . "Yes, sir." "Good night." "Good night." Boldface retired, and the watcher depos ited himself on the sofa, from which he was roused by his own snoring, at a quar ter before, one. In dismay, and confused, he seized the potion, and hurried up stairs. The sick man was lodged in No. 52, but the nurse, in his haste, mistook No. 33 for it, and entering the latter, he saw a person lying in the bed, face upward, with his mouth w ide open, respiring with that peculiar gurgle in the throat which indi cates strong lungs and a plethoric habit. "Ali I" mentally exclaimed the astute watcher, "he makes a fuss about taking nibdicine, does he blowed, though, it he don't take one dose quietly—before he wakes up, in fact." The idea of giving a potion of bitter physic-to a somnolent patient is sufficient ly ridiculous ; but when we consider that the watcher bud went into the wrong room, and was about to administer it to the wrong man,•the aflhir becomes still more ludicrous. Our friend the watcher, acted promptly, and having filled the bowl of a large spoon with the nauseating mixture, ho forced it down the throat of a sleeping traveller, who happened to be a healthy Hibernian who had never tasted physic before in his life. The Irishman struggled and bit the spoon severely, but tno watcher plunged it still deeper in his throat, saying, as he did so— "Oh, but you must take it—the land lord says you must." The 'lastly dose went down, but when Patrick recovered his breath and began to pour fourth his objurgations in his own pe culiar rhetoric; the watcher discovered that he had committed an egregious blunder, and seizing his light, fled from the room. The astonished and enraged traveller sprang fican his bed, and was soon heard rushing about in search of landlord, swea ring vengeance against him, and all con nected with his house. On he came, tear ing through the passages, banging the doors; and roaring•like a grizzly bear. 00.00.00 : kilt 1 u m, be dad;any how. • An-ugh •I'm ehowlnid with pison ! -Divil. a bit iv a farruna in the westhern eOunthry will buy now, for l'm•a dead man !

BURNING OF THE STEAMER AMAZON. DREADFUL LOSS OF LIFE. One of the most thrilling calamities that ever occurred on sea or and, took place oil the coast of England on the 4th 9 iJan• uary, by the burning of the Steamer Am azon, on her outward voyage to the \Vest Indies, when about sixty miles west of the island of Scilly. The particulars of this sad casualty are briefly these : The Amazon was a pioneer of a new line of steamers recently projected between Southampton and the Isthmus of Panama, intended to convey the English mails from port to port, and also to touch at the Is land of St. Thomas on the trip both ways. She was built in a most superb manner, with capacious accommodations, and ma• chincry designed to enable her to make the,yoyage in eighteen days, instead of consuming twenty-five days the ordinary running time of the old English mail stea mers now on that line. The Amazon was pronbunced ready for sea during the last month, and cut the 2d of January, she cleared 'Southampton for her destinatiOn. She carried with her 50 passengers, i:20,300 sterling its specie,a nd 500 bottles of quicksilver, valued at 150. Besides other cargo, she had in her hold 1,133 tons of coal, which had been put on board for the purpose of being de. li\rered for future use, at her contempla ted coal stations. She was commanded by Capt. Symonds ; and at 3 o'clock on Friday, the day heretofore named. she started on her unhappy voyage, amid the cheers of assembled thousands, who had been attracted to the wharves to witness her departure. The entire number of persons entered on the vessel's book was 101. Every thing passed off pleasantly and without ac cident, until about one o'clock the follow ing Sunday, when to the horror of those on board, the steamer was found to be on fire.
