J,aw Versus Saw.
Sitting in his office was a lawyer—
Standing in the street, a sawyer;
On the lawyer’s anxious lace,
Vou could read a knotty case
Needing law ; f
While the sawyer gaunt and grim,
On a rough and knotty limb,
Kan a saw.
Now the saw-horse seemed to me
Line a double Xin lee ; v ‘ ’ 1
And the saw,
Which ever way ’twas thrust,
Musi be lot lowed by the dust,
Like the law.
And the log upon the track,
Like a client on the rack,
Played it 9 part—
As the tempered teeth of steel
Made a wound that would not heal,
Through the heart.
And each severed stick that fell,
In its lulling seemed to tell,
All too plain,
Os the many severed l ies
That in lawsuits will arise,
Bringing pain.
Then methonght the sturdy paw
That was using axe and saw
On the wood,
Held a yielding mine of wealth,
With its honest toil and health,
Doing good.
li the chips that strewed the ground,
By some stricken widow found,
In her need,
Should by light and warmth impart,
Blessings to her aged heart,
Happy deed.
This conclusion, then, I draw-:
That no exercise of jaw—
Twisting India-rubber law,
Is as good
A- the exercise of paw
On the handle of a saw,
Sawing wood.
Important to the Ladies—The spring Sonnet.
The bonnets this season are not so much flared as last >
the crowns drop more, and the front is slightly projecting,
and very many recovered with dotted lace, either black
or white. They are trimmed with a profusion of flowers,
intermingled with while and black blonde. Flowers are
muc h used in trimming, both inside and out, and quite a no
vel client is produced by the combination of wnite and
black blonde. Straw enters largely into the composition
„f bonnets this season, the fronts of many being formed of
ii and the trimmings of others receiving additional beauty
from the intermixture of flowers of the same glancing ma
terial. - v
Mrs. Partington expresses great apprehension that the
people in California will bleed to death, as every paper she
picks up announces “another vein opened!”
A sentimental chap in Rhode island intends to petition
Congress for an appropriation to improve the channels of
affection, so that henceforth the “course of true love may
run smooth.”
Disastrous Fire.
On Thursday morning last, about 3 o’clock, a fire broke
out in a stable on the premises of Mr. J. S. Ilution, Cher
ry Street, below 3d, and very rapidly spread to the small
adjacent outbuildings and thence to the residences and
shops on 4th and Mulberry Streets, making a clean sweep
of the block below the Floyd House, and two dwellings,
on 4th St, across the alley and South of it. At one lime,
the Market House and residence of Mr. James Knight
were in imminent danger, but fortunately escaped with a j
good sc re hi ng. There was a stiff’breeze at the time from
the North West which prevented the conflagration taking
a direction which would have resulted in a much more
serious calamity. The buildings destroyed were not of
great value, but the loss is nevertheless considerable to
owners and occupants, only part of which is covered by
insurance. The principal sufferers areE. F. Brown,Esq.,
D. Mcatli, John Daev, Alex. Richards, Isaiah Chain, Mr.
Moulton and Mrs. Tobin. Messrs. Carhart & Roft’lost a
valuable mule and a dray and harness. Mr. Hutton suf*
Fire in Mobile.
On Sunday morning, between five and six o’clock, a fire
■broke out in the carpenter shop of Mr Swasey, on Frank
lin I clow Church street. Before the alarm was sounded it
had got considerable headway, and the wind sweeping from
the northeast, the flames soon communicated with the con
tiguous buildings, until every house within the square boun
ded on the north by Church street and on the South by
Monroe, on the e-t by Hamilton and on the east by
I ranklin streets, was entirely consumed. By seven o’clock
there was very little 101 lot the whole square. The News
says:
The tin” dwelling on Church street, belonged to Mr. F.
, ■ Ravesies, a-a!so the carpenter’s shop,and a small dwel
hng. corner Church and Franklin, w'ere burnt.
j bo two dwellings belonging to Mr. Ravesies, were in
sured for £3,000 in the Alabama Life and Trust office. The
Carpenters shop, occupied by Mr. Swasey, was not insur
<>! Mi. Swasey lost his toorsand a considerable quantity
of Lumber.
The dwelling house belonging to Mrs. McStraffic on
‘‘"ff'ui-treet, was insured for only sl/200, about hall its
value, in the Southern Mutual office of Augusta, Ga. Mr.
JM.nel L. Merrill owned two small dwellings on the
square, wbieii were insured tor S3OO each, in the office of
the Mobile insurance Company. The other bindings burnt
were not of much value and we cannot learn that they
were insured.
i be house of Mr. Ravesies, first named, we learn was
occupied by VI rs. Oruza t. The loss of the tenant was con

Worms! Worms!—Various theories have been started
relative to the origin of intestinal worms, and yet the ques
tion is still a *vexed one among medical authorities. Os
one fact, however, all are informed, and in which all agree
—the fatal nature of the influence they exert on children.
At thisseason of the year the attacks of worms are most
frequent as well as most dangerousr We take great plea
sure in directing the attention ot parents to the Vermifuge
of Dr. M’Lane. It is one of the most extraordinary med
icines ever introduced to the public, and has never failed of |
success when tried.

It should be universally known —lor it is strictly
true —that indigestion is the parent of a large proportion ot
the fatal diseases. Dysentery, diarrhoea, cholera morbus,
liver complaint, and’many other diseasess enumerated in
the city inspector’s weekly catalogue ot deaths, are genera
ted by indigestion alone. ‘1 hink of that dyspeptics! think
of it all who suffer from disordered stomachs, and it you
are willing to be guided by advice, founded upon experi
ence, resort at once (don’t delay) to Hoofland’s German
