POETRY.

The following stanzas were written by Mrs Cornwall
Baron Wilson, answer to the piece called zine houi
Of DEATH" written by Mrs. Hemans
True-aH we know must die
Tho none can tell the exact appointed hour;
Nor should it cost the vrtuous heart sagh' Ter
whether death crush the oak, or MP the opening now
The Christian is prepared,
Tho others tremble at the hour OF gloom;
HIS soul is always ready on his guard,
His lamps are lighted 'ganst the bridegroom come
II matters not the time,
When we shall end our pilgrimage bellows
Whether in Youths fright morn, manhood's prime,
Or when the frost of age has whitehead DER our brow
The Child that blossom'd fair,
And looked so lovely on its mothers breast,
Fond source of many hope, and many prayer
Why murmur that it sleeps where all at last must rest
sna,ched from world of woe,
Where they must suffer most who longest dwell
1t vanished like fake of early snow,
That melts into the sea, pure Us from heaven ieh!
The youth whose pulse beats high,
Eager through glory's brilliant course to run:
why should we shed tear or breathe sign,
That the bright goal is gained-the prize thus early
woni
Unstained by many crime,
Which to maturer years might owe their birth;
In summers earliest bloom, IN morning prme'
How blest are they who quit this chequsred scene OF
Garth!
And shall no tear be paid
To her the N, W made Bride, the envied fair,
On whose fond heart Deaths whitening hand Is ia'
Checking each pulse OF bliss Hymen had wakenea
therel
JOY scatter'd roses, while
The happy slumberer sank in calm repose
In Deaths embrace-e'er love withdrew his smile,
And escaped those chilling bhghts the heart too often
knows!
Yes,-aN we know must die
Since none can tell the exact appointed hour,
Why need it cost the virtuous heart asigh, Ter
Whether death crush the oak, nip the opening How

Washington, Jan. l6-"You and your rea.
ders have doubtless some curiosity respecting
the fate of the Presidents nominations for the
congress Of Panama, which have SO long been
suspended in the senate. learn from very
authentic source, though not from senator, or
any one at all under the pledge of sccresy, that
the Presidents communication, with the COR
respondence with the governments of Spanish
America were referred to a committee, who
will unquestionably report against the expedi-
ency Of the measure. 1t is not improbable that
they have done so this morning. But it is adj
ded that the senate will not agree 10 the repor:
but will ratify the nominations: not however be-
cause the administration has majority in the
senate, for the fact is otherwise, but because
many who are far from claiming to be the
friends of the executive, approve Of this policy.

.Aoecdoie About two months after the failure
of the Eagle Bank, respectable looking gen
tleman called INTO lottery office and inquired
if bills of that Bank would be taken for tickets,
and ,ta;ed that he had FIVE dollar bill OF that
description, which he had just ascertained was vas
unc,rrent He was asked how long the bill
had been in his possession the reply was on
" two or three weeks; that he lived little way
into the interior, and took it OF a traveller whom
he had entertained for night. Somewhat sur
prised that person, apparently in good CIR
cumstances and of considerable intelligence,
could be ignorant of the failure OF that Bank,
a by-stander inquired if he took newspaper,
The stranger replied, he formerly took one, but
thinking himself unable to afford the expense, he
had few months before discontinued it.

for publishing the bsBus; but not being
able to coil, CT all her money, which she
had loaned in small sums to the nelgh-
boring iarmets, she could not complete
her purchase so soon as she could have
wished, and therefore caused the pub

two. In the mean time, the defendant
constantly asserted that his attachment
was sincere-took her to bis house
where with bis mother and sisters she
spent a week or more as his intended
bride-friends and relations were invi-

ANOTHER BUT MORE DISASTROUS FIRES HET.
Fredericksburg, June 2S.-We had occasion,
a few days since, to notice considerable and
sudden rise in the Rappahannock River, by
which one bridge in the vicinity Of our town
was carried away: We have now more melan-
choly duty to perform, in recording the loss and
almost entire destruction Of the two beautiful
Bridges opposite this place, cccasioned by an
other food, which has not been equaIled since
the memorable Fall Of 1914.
On Sunday, between two and three o'clock,
the rain commenced, and continued, with short
intermissions, to fall in heavy showers, until
Monday morning, when the clouds dispersed.
In the course Of this day the River began to
swell, and on Tuesday morning it attained its
greatest elevation. Many Of the houses situat-
ed near the wharves were now completely in
undated, and could only be approached in boats.
The Bridge built by the late Major Jones, OF
Chatham, and which has been ever since it was
erected one Of our most delightful promenades,
first gave way, and all that portion of it reach
ing from Browns Island TO the Stafford shore,
moved off with the impetuous torrent. On
reaching the lower Bridge, a few hundred yards
distant, this heavy mass Of timber carried with
it several Of the central arches Of this Bridge
also, and, in less than an hour afterwards, the
whole, reaching from the abu;ments on either
side, rose 10 the bosom, of the flood, and Hoat-
ed down the resistless current In the destruc-
ton Of these bridges our town has sustained
great public loss. The lower Bridge was own
ed by company; the upper, was the property
Of the heirs Of the late Major Churchill Jones.
We have heard that Judge Coalter, the present
proprietor of the Chatham estate, has expressed
his intention Of speedily replacing this bridge.
We are happy TO say the Falmouth Bridge
stands firm.
The injurious effets Of the former freshet, in
the upper country, have been great. We hear
from the neigh5orhood of the Germanna Mills,
that many CT the mill-dams on the small. streams
have been swept away-Jones's, Skinker's,
Browns, and Fields, are among the number
he wheat and corn was considerably injured d.
We may now expect to hear melancholy tidings
from that quarter of the country.-The corn on
the river bottoms must be entirely ruined.
The Maa for the South was detained here
yesterday, in consequence of the runs in this
vicinity being rendered impossible.
