Their works were built on Broad Point in the
north part Of that town, and were constructed
like Sears's, except they were divided into three
vats They had no pump for several years-ai
forwards one constructed like. a common hand
pump. These works are now in good repair. and

SELECTED POETRY

The following poem, now for the first time
seen by Us, from the pen OF Mrs. Child, Is ad'
mirable. The subject is the painting by Wander
lyu, Of Marius seated amid the ruins OF Gar
thage.
Pillars are fallen at thy feet,
Fanes culver in the air,
A PROSTATE city is thy seat
And thou alone art there.
No change comes DER thy noble brow,
Though ruin is around thee;
Thine eye.beam burns as proudly now,
As when the laurel crowned thee.
II cannot bend thy lofty soul
Though friends and fame depart:
The car Of Fate may DER thee roll,
Nor crush thy Roman heart.
And Genius hath electric power,
Which earth can never tame;
Bright suns may scorch, and dark clouds
lower,-
Its flush is still the same,
The dreams we loved inearly life.
May melt like mist away;
High thoughts may seem, mid passion
strife,
Like Carthage in decay.
And proud hopes in the human heart
May be to ruin hurled,
Like moulderins monuments OF art
Heaped on sleeping world.
Yet there is something will not die,
Where life hath once been fair;
Some towering thoughts still rear on high,
Some Roman fingers there!'
