they were dry and burning. The measles were &mot the country, and I was frigh ened for my child. It was only halt a mile to the 'doctor's; I knew 'very foot of the road ; and so leaving thelloor en the latch I resolved to• tell him how niv darlint was. and thought I should be back before my husband's rtturn. Grass, you may be sure did'nt grow under my Ices. I ran with all speed, and was'nt kept long, the doctor said—though it seemed long tome. The moon was down when I came !mine, though the night was fine. The cabin we lived in was in a hollow ; but when 1 was on the hill, and looked down where 1 knew it stood a dark mass, I thought I saw a white light fog coming out of it, I rubbed my eyes and darted - forward as a wild bird flies to its nest when it hears the scream of the hawk in the heavens. Wh-ri I reached the door, l saw it was open; the fume cloud came out of it, sure enough, white and thick ; blind with that and ter ror together, I rushed to my child's cradle. I found my way to that, in spite 01 the burning and smothering. But Ellen-- Ellen Murphy, my child, the rosy chilli whose breath had been hot on my cheek only a little while before, she was nothit,g but a cinder. Mad as I felt ! saw how it was in a minute. The father had came home as I expected ; he had gone to the cradle to look at his child, and dropped the candle into the straw, and unable to speak or stand, hat knelt down anti asleep on ' the floor, not too yards from my child. Oh, how I flew to the doctor's s, ill what had been my baby . I tore across the coun try like a banshee; /laid it in his arms; !told lun if he did'ut put life in it, I'd des troy him and his house. He thoug,ht me mad; for there was no breath, ether cold orhot, coming Irom its lips then, I e:mtil'nt kiss it in death : the , e was nothing. Ifr of my child to kiss—think of that! I-snatch ed it from where the doctor had laid it; cursed him, forte looked with disgust at my party child. The whole night - long II Wandered in the woods of Newtownbai ry with that burden at my heart.' "But her husband, her husband P in quired Larry in accents of horror; 'what became of him site leave him in the - burning without calling him to himself ?' 'No,' answered Ellen • 'I asked her, and she told me that her shrieks she sup posed roused him from suffixation in which he must but for them have perished. He staggered out of the place, and was found soon after by the neighbors, and liv ed long after,. but only to a poor heat t.bro ken man, for she was mad for years through the country; and many a tray alter alms told me that story, my heart trembled like a willow leaf. 'And now Ellen Murphy,' she added when the end was come, 'do ye wonder I threw from yer hand as poi son the glass ye offered me —And do you know why /have told you what tares toy heart to come over?--because I wish to save you, who showed me kintlne , s, from what 1 have gone through. Ps the only good I can (1,1 ye. and indeed, it's long since / cared to do good. Never trust a drinking man ;he h as no guard on his words; and will say that of his nearest friend, that would destroy him soul and body, His breath is hoots the breath of the plague; his tongue is a foolish, as well as a fiery serpent. Ellen, let no drunkard ;become your lover, anti don't trust to pi o• raises; try them, prove them all, before you marry.' 'Ellen, that's enough,' interrupted Lar ry. 'I have heard enough—the two proofs are enough without words. Now, hear me. What length of punishment am Ito have? / won't say that, for Nell, there's a tear in your eye that says more than words. Look—/11 m mite no pros nit sea— but you shall see ; I'll wait yer time name it; stand the trial.' And Pm happy to say, for the honor and credit of thakountry, that Larry did stand the trial—his resolve was fixed ; he neve, so much as tasted whiskey from that time, and Ellen had the proud satisfac tion of knowing she had saved him from destruction. Tliev were not, however, married till e'er Easter. I wish all Irish maidens would follow Ellen's example.

Great Fire iu Philadelphia: SEVERAL LIVES LOST, By the Philadelphia papers of Saturday we 'earn that one of the most extensive conflagrations that ever occurred in Phila delphia, broke out about halt past ten o'clock on Friday night, and raged with unceasing fury until late in the morning, despite the most strenuous and uncreasing exertions of the fire department. Pout. son's Advertiser says, that the heat had at one time become so intense, (the fire haring communicated to some oil in one of the stores,) that the flames leaped across the street and caught to the houses on the opposite side We are compelled to give only an abridged account of this awful and dis tressing fire ; but have endeavored to give in substance all the particulars received. From the U. S. Gazette.—Monday Oct. 7. The Fire The fire on Saturday morning was one of rare occurrence in Philadeiphia, more extensive and destuctive than we ever saw here, and tar more so than we, or al most any other Philadelphian, had suppos •d it possible there could have occu red in our city.

Much less did they expect that she would be the first to show the white feather. lint they bouj„lit her, and paid her four hundred thousand dollars to be the magnet of the Loco Foco party. Nick Biddle was gone, and they could manage her now. But behold she is the first bank to close her specie vaults; and the poor Focos, in bitterness of heart go back to the dog, and say the old monster is worse than ever; that she is the rot. tenest bank in the State. If this be true, then they are treating their laborers pret tily indeed. They are paid in the bills of this rottenest bank," for she is the bank- er of their party. The Election.
