Some years ago, on tbo cvcdSu of the, fourth of July, (for aomccauso or other ricsidcnt Tierce roWi Jo Jue the order for tho usual dlsolav of S n ! , k rrtf . nre-workf; we witnessed a most beautiful diHplay of nutura. lira-works, which wo have thought it , would not bo amiss to describe for the readers of the Arnn,. This scene occurred on II street k-j twecn-Mh and Tenth, Washington city. ' - An ancient cherry tree, nearly one hundreJ ' i'caTa 8 i;c, ljullow nt its base and for some fif- r r U'on fcU of its trunk, ftt wliieh height a kuot hole , 0I,t.nilJ,r (rL.e ciieuatiorI to tl,e uir wa8 pjadu ' f C ' ; I availnblu Dy the boys, to furnish convenient means ' f0r setting off their squibs, crackers and other . ! j ure-works in honor of Independence day. A fire was kimlled at its base, the smoke from much' to the gratification of the urchins, who bur ruhed and shouted, and danced, in an ccstacy of : delight, at the successful operation of their inge nious' plan. There was a fresh breeze bluwing, which in. creased the draught of this primitive chimney, 1 and caused the fire to blaze and roar maguiQ. ,j I eently. Tho flumes shooting upward, sent their forked tongues through the ripening into the night, I and licked the bark of the tree, as though, in an- ! tieipatioo, gloating over -the sweet repast they . r , " " . , . r .

Wont to make upon,lbe tender branches of Vthe devoted tree, for though the trunk was hol- low .and decayed, it bora a luxuriant growth f spreading Jjranehes, green and freskj and beautu ful, which cast a refreihing shade all around it. "Behold how great a matter a.litllo fire kin. dleth." The firo that was kindled'in sport, and which, for a time, caused so much satisfaction and delight, now became a source of terror the element which had been their plaything, had now become their master they could not sub due the flame. - The fire had seized with re. morselcss avidity upon the inner surface of the ,trec, and was fast consuming the Wood; the flames Ueatli. buoulU the tree, in falling, incline toward the Northeast, a beautiful little tenement must inevitably be crushed by the impending" mass ; aud who could say ins7tuf direction the tree icould fall ? So the genius of man was called into operation, which, though it could not subJue, might still direct the destructive power, and thus ... ..it. r. ..j .

The heights of the liriidvwine arise gloomy and grand beyond the waters of yonder stream. A 111 nature holds a solemn si lence on the eve of the uproar, of the M odslicd and strife of to-niorrow ! " They that take the sword shall perish by the sword." And have they not taken the sword ? Let the desolated plain, the blond-sodden val ley, the burned farm bouse, blackening in the sun, tbo sacked village, Wl the ravaged town, answer ! Let the whitening bones ot the butch ered farmer, strewed along the fields of hisbume stead, answer! Let the. starving mother, with j 'he "babe, clinging to the withered breast that can afford no sustenance, lot Aer.answcr, with tho death rattle mingling with the murmuring tones that mark the last struggle of life!' Let that dy ing mother and her babe answer ! It was but a day past, and our land slept in the quiet of peace'. War was not here ; wrong wag not hero. Fraud, and wo, and misery, and want dwelt not among us. From the eternal solitude of the green woods rose the blue smoke of the settler's cabin, and golden fields of corn looked forth from nniid the waste of the wilder ness, and the glad music of human voices awoke tho silence juf the forest. Now (Jod of mercy ! behold the change ! ruder the shadow of a pretext, under the sanc tity of the name of God, invoking the Redeemer to tlioir aid, do these foreign hirelings flay ur peo ple ! They throng our towus, they darken our plains, and now they encompass our posts on the loncly plain of Chadd's Ford. " They that take the sword shall pc.ish by the sword." Brethren, think mo not unworthy of belief when I tell you the doom of the ISritish is oear! Think me not vain, when I tell you that beyond the cloud that now enshrouds us, I see gathering thick and fast, the darker cloud and the blacker storm of Divine retribution ! They may conquer us to-morrow. Might and wrong may prevail, and we may be driven from this fieldA bat the hour of God's owu vengeance will come ! Ay, if in tho vast solitudes of eternal space, if in the heart of the boundless universe, there throbs the being of an awful God, quick to avenge and sure to punish guilt, then will the man, George of Brunswick, called king," feci ir. his brain and in his heart tho vengeance of the eternal Johovuh !

(iod prosper tho came.; ArpcnTssK Mi'it!n:ii Wn.i. Out. The following singula j circumstance, related in a (Jcriuan journal, is worthy ol serving as pendant to that of the fa mous log of M.ontagri: A wealthy tanner, named Kruntz, residing in the neighborhood of Sinz, in tho Archduchy of Austria, was in the habit of making journeys several limes a year to sell his goods and cuter into contracts for sup plies of different kinds. Thcso rounds general ly occupied him about ten days or a fortnight. On tho morning of the, 12th October last, be ! started as usual, but in tho same night his wife and spn were surprised at hearing Ins cabriolet enmo up to the door, and their surprise was changed into horror on finding in tVjs vehicle tho lifeless body of the tanner, weltering in bis blood. Tho horse, iiud'ng himself at liberty, had re turned home. Tho authorities made inquiries, but without leading to the discovery of tho mur derer. The tanner bad with hiui a large and powerful dog, but as the animal was fastened un der the cabriolet, he could not render any assis tance to his master. After tho death of the tau nt r, hie son a young man about twenty tire years of ago, took ou himself the management of the business, und, like bis father, made the usual journeys. About a fortnight ago, in passing near a roadside public house, at the door of which the landlord was sitting smoking his pipo, the MW0 J()g wli baJ bt in (be haLi, of accom nunvinir the father, and which was runniculonor quietly by the side of the vcfiiele, began to bark in the most furious manner, and rushed towards the house. The man, seeing his approach, ran in and closed the door, whilo the dog kept bowl ing and barkjiig most viohjutly. A suspicion im mediately entered the mind of tho young man, but instead of showing what he felt by any movement which might have been observed by tho inmates or the house, he fastened the dog beneath the cabriolet, and driving to the nearest town, gave information to the authorities. Spmo police officers were immediately sent to the house, i and in it ware found the empty money bag of i the tanner, his watch, and bis pookct book, . I The laudlord and bis wife were immediately ar. j rested, and will bo tiieJ fof tbo crime. Galig- 1 Mini. . Commodore Si.dAT.
