Tlio Cincinnnti Commercial says:
On 111o morning of tlio 21st, about 2 o'
clock, firo was discovered near the cook- '
house. Mr. Ohas. Wbitlan, tlio mate, be- *
ing in charge of tlio deck at the time, im- '
mediately ordered tlio boat's head to be '
turned towards shore. Mr. Lamb, the nilnt
, I
on watch, instantly com plied, and the shore '
happily being graduated, tho boat was in
!i fow moments from tho alarm, run full and
fairly out on tho hank. This was just a- *
hove tho head of Island soventy-four, and <
about ten miles nhovo Napoleon, Arkansas. '
AH the passengers and crew that wore
on tho forward part of tlio boat reached (
shore without difficulty, hut thoso that 1
wero on the slern, being cut oil* by tho tiro, '
had to take to the water : and it beincr a bit '
ter cold morning, l?ut few succeeded in
reaching the shore.
From iho time tho alarm was first given 1
until the boat was a complete mass of fire,
could not havo boon fivo minutes. Many
of tho passengers wero burnt as they lay in
their berths, unconscious of approaching '
danger. Many, very many, were drowned. <
The steamer Sovereign, Capt. Hutchinson,
being close at hand, rendered all aseis- I
tanco in their power; but assistance to thoso 1
on the boat then was of no avail; liieir fate i
was sealed?at least senty-five tinman be- <
ing* in a few short momenta had been hur- 1
ried into eternity without a moment's warn- 1
ing. 1
As a singular proof of tho rnpidty of the >
fire, thero wero but two or tlireo trunks ?
Raved, and those that cscaped had nothing c
on but their night clothes?clothos, money (
watches, jewelry and all wero lost, forgot- -
ten 'in their wild race for life.
A .great many ofllie passengers were returned
Culifornians, who had their hardearned
gold with tliein, nearly all of which
was lost. A few who had taken the precaution
to doposit in the otlieo were fortunate
to save theirs?the boat's safe being 1
got out nud the contents iu good conditic
INCIDENTS.
Mr. Garland, a planter, with three slaves '
on board, was saved, and only saved by Ihe
heroic devotion of one of his slavos, a boy
ho had raised. Mr. Garland, when the <
alarm was given, became stupified, and but <
for thoslave boy would havo perished where
ho stood, but tho boy by main forco pulled .
his master ashoro and from danger.
A lady had coma on board at Napoleon
with three children and servant. When l
tho alarm was given sho was between her 1
and llio forward part of the boat. With <
perfect coolness she gathered her little (lock I
forrfithpr and snftdv nnssnl tlimn<vh tho (
flames to tho bow and from tlienco to shore j
and when nil wan saved, fainted. " What (
will not a mother's love daro for her off- A

Mr. Wheatly, from California, with wife 1
and child, jumped from tho atern and atrnck
boldly out for ahore ; but tho wife, having I
$'2,400 in cfold on her person, soon sunk to I
rise uo more: (.ho fiulior, with his infant in (
his arms, still bravely battled for life, but 1
being numbered from cold, tho child ulip- i
ped and was lost; the father was saved by
those on shore who had witnessed his brave
struggle against the fatC3. He had f 3,500
in tho safe of tho boat, which was recovered
and placed id his hands. Ho remained '
fit the wrcck to rcccvcr, ;f possibly, the re- (
mains of his lost companion and child.

Tub Stoky 01* tub Hoi<sb-$(iob.?This is
n simple legend. A good countryman was
taking ft rural walk with his son Thomas.
As they walked slowly along, the father
suddenly stopped.
" Look !" I10 said, "there's a bit of iron-n
pieeo of horse-shoo; pick it up and put
it in your pocket."
" Pooh !" answorcd tho child, "it is not
worth stooping for."
The father, without uttering another
I 1 1 - ' - -
??? .?, iiji iiii) iron, ;tuu put n ill 1118
pocket. Wlvon they cairio to tlio village,
lie entored the blacksmith's shop, and sold
it for three farthings, and with that sum
ho bought somo cherries. Then the father
and son set off again on their ramblo. The
sun was burning hot, nnd neither a house, t
tree, nor fountain of water was in sight,? j
Thomas soon complained of being tired, j
and had some difficulty in following his
father, who walked on with a firm step.?
Perceiving that his boy was tired, the father
lot a cherry fall, as if by accident.?
Thomas stooped and quickly nicked it un.
and devoured it. A little further, l?o dropped
another, and the boy picked it lip as
eagorl)' as over; and thus they continued,
the father dropping llio fruit, and the son
picking thorn up. When the last one was
eaten, tho father stopped and, turning to
the boy, said :
" Look, my son. If you had chosen to
Riuvp oiicc, and pieK up a pieco ol Horseshoe,
you would not havo been obliged at
last to stoop so often to pick up tho olierliosl"?Ar.
Y. Independent.
The Turkic Great Powers.?Tho Press
Pulpit, and Woman, aro tho three great
powers of the earth?tho irresistible lovers
which constantly raise humanity to a higher
and still higher degree of progress. Without
them, tho bottom of things would fall
out, and society bo spilled out into original
chaos. And of these great powers, woman
is tho greatest. Tho press makes tho
people intelligent and patriotic; woman
makes thorn industrious, generous and romantic
Tho press rules our intellect, tho
pulpit our consciences, woman our hearts.
Tho press sways public opinion, and tho
iiiuini cumluuuuni urn, woman sways
nil tilings. Thcro would bo a falling oil'
even in church going were tlioro no girls
there; and if woman is not " first in war,",
she is certainly "first in peace, nnd first in
hearts of her countrymen." And she has
ner ltmuciK'.c ;n war, too ; men would not
fight merely for masculino applause. ll is
for " tho girl ho lias left behind him," that
tho soldier chiefly bears his burdens, runs
his risks, and deals his sturd icst blows; and
his laurel wreath of triumph would be but
a barren symbol could ho not lay it at her
feet.
Tho world is governed more by tho heart
than the head; and the heart is woman's
empire, wherein sho rules to elovalo and
relino. Without tho sunshino of her in.
flucncc, the heart of man would bo n bog
filled will) noxious growth?a more fungus
oozing slime, in which the roso of affection
would novor gcrminato, nor tho llowera of
eloquence bloom. Woman is tho engine
of life?tho great motivo power of love,
ambition and civilization. May fortune
favor her, man protect her, and Cod bless
her!

One of Hans Andersen's Btorics.
A great Queen onoo-reigned, in whoso
garden bloomed the loveliest flowers from
nil parts of the world, at every season oi
tho year. lJut above all other flower she
loved roses j and thercforo she possessed
the greatest variety of these, from tho wild
hed^e-roso, with gvcen, apple-scented loav.es,
to the most beautiful roso, of I'roveneo.*?
They grew on the castle walls, twined round
tho pillars and over tho onsomontH of the
corridors nnd etfloous. rind the roacs varied
in seont, form and color.
]>ut enre und Madncm dwelt iu tliat palaco;
tho Queen lay on her .sick bed, and
tho physioiins Raid nhe must die. " There
is,' however, a remedy for her," said the
wisest auiong them. u Hring to her t)io
liiticnii iwu hi iii?" wui iu?-mo one which IS
tho expression of the highest nml purest
love?If that com08 before her eyes ere
they closc she will not die."
And young and obi came from all lands
with roses, tho loveliest that bloomed in
ovcry garden, but none was the right ono.
Tho flower must be brought from tho garden
of lovo j but whist rose could be the
expression of the highest, purest lovo?
And the poot.s pang of the fairest rose in
the world?each one mined his own. And
messengers were sent through all tho countries
round, to every heart that beat with
lovo?to every rank and every age.
" No ono has yot named the flower," said
the wise man. " No ono has shown the
place from whence it springs in its benutv.
it is not oiio of tho roseH from tho bier of
Romeo and Juliet, or from Walburg's grave
though tlic.se flowers will over bloom in legends
ami songs. It is not of tho roses
that bloomed forth from Winkolricd'sblood
stained la nee*-?from tho holy blood which
flowed in death from tho breast of tho hero
for the fatherland, though no death is
sweeter, no roso is redder, than the blood
which then flows. It is. also, not that
woudcr-flqw or, for tho cultivation of which
man gives his fresh life away in years and
days?tho magic roso of knowledge."
u I know where it blooms 1" "fluid a happy
mother, who came to the Queen a couch
with her tender babe ; " 1 know where the
fairest ro.se in the world is to bo found?the
rose which is tho expression of tho highest
purest love. Tt blooms on the blushing
chocks of my sweet child, when it opens
its eyes refreshed by slumber, and smiles at
mo with its whole love."
" Lovely is tliat rose, but there is yet a
fairer one," said the wise man.
"Yes, a much fairer one," said one of
tlie women. " I lmvc seen it?a holior
roso blooms not. But it wan pale, like the
petals of tea-rose. I saw it on the cheek.s
of the Queen ; she had laid aside her royal
crown, and was nursing her sick child in
the long, .sad night. Sho wept and kissed
it, and prayed to CJod for it, as a mother
nravs in the hour of antmish."
" Holy ami wonderful is tho wliitc >oso
of saduCM in its power; but it is not tho
one nought for."
"No, T saw tho fairest rose in the world
before the altar of llio Lord," Paid tho good
old Bishop. " I saw it shino ns though an
angel's faco had shown itself. Tho young
maiden went to tho nltar of tho Lord, having
renewed the vow of her baptism, and
roses catno and went on hor fresh cheeks.
The young maiden knelt there ; she looked
up to Ood with hor soul full of purity and
Jovo. That was tho oxprossiou of the purest,
highest love."
,l I i? it " cni<l tliA ii'ion m.m ttlxii
no otic ha* yet named tho fairest rosy in
tho world."
Then stepped a child into tho chamber,
the little son of the Quoen. Tears stood in
his eyes, and on his delicaio cheeks, lie
Carried a largo closed book, bound in velvet,
with largo silver clasps. " Motlior !"
said tho little one, "oh, hear what I have
rend."
Ami the ohild sealed itself on Iho bed,
and rend out of the book of Ilim who gave
Himself lo dio on tho Cross, in order to
snvo men, and cvon unborn generations.?
Greater love is thoro not!
And n rose blush spread over tlio Queen's
ohceks *, her eyes becamo so bright, for she
saw tlio fairest rose spring forth from tho
loaves of tho book?tlio likeness of tho ono
which bloomed from the blood of Christ on
tho Cross.
" I seo it ?" said alio. " They never die
who look on thi? rose?tho fairest in the
world." ^ ^
Contkntion.?All old divino, cautioning
tho clergy against engaging in violent controversy,
lines the following happy similes t
"If-.vo will bo contending, let us contcnd
like the olive and tho vino, who shall produco
tho best and tho moat fruit; not like
tho aspen and tho elm, which shall tnako
tho most noiso in tho wind."
