Variety: Work! Faint Not!

Thcre are times when a heaviness comes over the heart, and we feel as if there were no hope. Who has not feit it? For this thero is no cure but work. Plunge into it - put all energies into nddition - rouse up the inner man - act - and this heaviness shall disappear as mist before the morning sun. There arise doubts in the human mind whichsink us to lethargy, wrap us m gloom, and make us think it were bootless to uttempt any thing. Who has not exporieaoed them? Work: That is the cure. Taslc your intellect- stir up your feeliugs - rouse the soul - do - and these doubts, hanging like a heavy cloud upon i the mountain, wili scatter and disapear, i and leave you in sunshine and open day. There come suspicions of the best men and fcars about the holiest eflbrts, and we i stand likc one chained. Who has noelt this? Work. Therein is freedom. 3y night, byday in season and out ofseaon, work, and liberty will be yours. - ■ 5ütin requisition mind and body - war ' vith inertness - snap the chain-link of elfishness - stand up a deiender of the ight - be yourself - and this suspicion, and these fears will be lulled, and like he ocean storm, yon will be purified by he contest, and able to bear and breast any burden of human ill. Gladden life with its sunniest features und gloss it over with its richesthues, and t becomes a poor and painted thing, if herebe in it no toil - no hearty, hard work. The laborer sighs for repose - W hereis il? What is it? Friend whoever thou art, know it is to found alone n work. ,No good - no grcatness - no irogress, is gained without it. Work then and not faint ; for therein is the well-spring of human hope, and human ïappiness. - Cassius M. Clay. PUTTING OUT WORDS. Schoolmaster. Spell latelat Boy. L-au law. S.

Our unfortunate - we had almost said doomed - city has been visited by another conflagraron, which, as regards the loss of life, exceeds by far the two avvful visiiations of last yeur. Yesterda}' evening, ubotit 10 o'clock, a fue broke out in the building known as the "Theatre Royal, St. Louis," in the neihborhood of ihe old Chateau. The Messrs. Harrison, from Canada West, kd. been exhibiting during the week, in KmHvc place, their illuminated DioraJPB?t the close of last evening's ex[hibition, when tlie audience were about coming out, a camphine lamp suspended from the ceiling is said to have fallen and ignited the curtain in front of the stage, lnstanüy the place was in a blaze ; and the theatre being crowded - in the rush which ensued to escape from the flames, (the only mode of egress bcing through a narrow passage,) not loss than from forty-five tofifty human beings perished. Forty three of the bodies have been got out Óf the ruins, eome of them awfully mutilated, others only partially disfigured, having apparently died from sufibcai tion. Providentially a considerable number of the audience had got out before i the alarm was given, otherwise the loss of life would have been much greater. - The weather at the time was calm, there being scarcely a breath of wind, through which and the exertions of the military, the fire companies and the pólice, the fire was confined to the buildings in vhich it oriffinated.There is always danger at places oi lublic exhibition wheu thore are only ev doors letting out visitors. Many doilorable accidents have occurred from his cnuse. The most remarknble in America was at Richmond, Virginia, De cember 26, 1811,when 600 persons were resent, of whom seventy perished, anong them the Govornor of the state and the Mayor of the city. From Fort Leavjbnworth.- The St. Louis papers say, that inlelligonce has roached that city from Fort Leavenworth, hat Col. Kearney had despatched Iwo companies of dragoons to intcrcept a party of Mexican traders, about seventy miles out, who were conveyingto Santa Fe a large quantily of arms and ammunition. ' Col. Kearney had also learned that a party of Mexican traders had left Santa Fe for Missouri, and that Governor Arbuckle had placed them under the escort of two companies of dragoon?. - No volunteers had yet appeared at the rendezvous, and Col. Kearney had determined lo march without them, if they did not present themselves within a short time. It was not known whether or not ho would cross the line with his present inadequate force, but he would undoubtedly proceed to the Arkansas.
