Miss 'Wentworth was, about nineteen
years of age=eminently beautiful and the
sole stry of a widowed father. His heart
was bound in his 'daughter, and'it was - on.
ly at the repeated and urgeat solicitation of,
neices that he consented to part with
her, (he lived in ail adjacent country vit.
Inge) for a short visit. The agony of the
Littleton family may be imagined as they
stood trembling watching the effortt made
to rescue her: They thought no -more of
the destruction of-their property—their
hearts were bound up ?n the peril of the
relation and &est. With despair they
witnessed the unsuccessful termination of
the efforts made to save her, while hope,
agate animated them as they witnessel the
desperate attempt of the Young Firemen.

pearance.. As they stood gazing at' the
roof, a black body of smoke rolled from
the upper windows, streaked with flame,
and soon broad sheets of the destroying
element shot'fiercely up, like fiery tongues
lapping the air. A universal shiver ran
through the crowd below, and anguished
cry "they're lost—they're lost 1" was ut
tered from Many a whitened lip. The
ladders were hastily removed, for the fire
bad seized upon them, and hope had fled
from every bosom. At this awful crisis a
hoarse and half smothered voice was heard
from the back part of the house; there was
a general rushto that point. The flames
had not reached this part of'the building,
but heavy wreaths of smoke were curling
from all the windows, giving evidence of
their fearfill - proximity.—As the wind cc- .
cationally blew the smoke aside L the yeung
fireman could dimly be seen, clinging to'
the railing, making rapid and vehement
gestures to those below. Ladders were,

to their assistance. Not observing this
demonstration in his favor, the young man
was seen to lift, as it was a dead weight.a

young Fireman threw himself over _ the
