Its terrific tyranny has been shown in recent conflagration*. We do not intend to recapitulate the sad story of disaster and death which followed in the wake of the terrible fiivs that have lately swept over tome of our cities. We desire only to l|p grtre emphasis to the fact that there are vfires, raging all over our broad land and they burn to the lowest hell. The inoen- i diaries stand, on almost 'every street corner, and, after touching the torches to their own throats, they apply them to- all, who are willing to be ignited, and their name is legion. This fire is liquid fin1, and it burns the lips, the throat, the lungs, the stomach and the heart. It runs through the veins and arteries to the brain, as the flames in Boston leaped from the flues to the Mansard roof. What a waste this fire leaves behind it ! , Who can map out the ruins? What in- -• suranee can cover the loss? The human body is a temple of great architectural - beauty, and the world is literally strewn i with the ruins and debris of rum-burnt II; , temples of humanity. Something mast fx-J'J.- be done to arrest the dreadful incendiar­ ism, and put out the torches, and save the bodies so fearfully and wonderfully made, and to save the souls, wkich are of ' inestimable worth. vl$ js, (ECONOMICAL MEN!
