Through days Of toll. through nightly fears,
vision blessed my heart for years
And 80 secure its features grew,
My heart believed the blessing true.
q saw her there, household dove,
In consummated peace of love,
And sweeter Joy and saintlier grace
Breathed DER the beauty OF her lace:
The Joy and grace Of love at rest,
The freside music of the breast,
When vain desires and restless schemes
Sleep, pillowed on our early dreams.
Not her alone; beside her stood,
In gentler types, our love renewed;
Our separate beings one, in Birth
The darling miracles Of Earth.
The mothers smile, the children's kiss,
And homes serene, Astounding Bliss
The fruitage OF a life that bore
But idle summer blooms before.
Such was the vision, fair and sweet,
That, still beyond Times tagging feet,
Lay glimmering in my heart for years,
Dim with the mist of happy tears.
That vision died, in drops of woe.
In blotting drops, dissolving slow;
Now, toiling day and sorrowing night,
Another vision fills my sight.
A cold mound in the winter snow;
A colder heart at rest below;
A life in utter loneness hurled,
And darkness over all the world.
My heart, bird with broken wing,
Deserted by its mate of Spring,
Droops shivering, while the chill windsb blow
And fills the nest of Love with snow.

WILLIE TURNPIKE COMPANY.
INHE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS, with tie
a majority OF the Stockholders, have determined
to construct on this turnpike Plank Road running
from the city boundary Seventh street TO the line
OF the District and Montgomery county, Maryland,
and for that purpose will issue stock to the ex
tent OF seven hundred and fifty shares, of f,Uerlfy
dollars each, and have appointed the undersigned
to solicit and receive subscriptions TO the same.
Books open at office for the purpose.
Fire dollars each share is to be paid at the time
of subscribing, and like amount every sixty
days until the whole is paid.
The advantages Of such road to the city, and
the property in the vicinity of the road, must be
apparent TO all conversant with it's situation. There
10 but little doubt that similar road will soon be
built, connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookville-the last in the midst of a fine agr-
cultural country; thus opening direct and easy
route from Montgomery and the upper part OF
Anne Arundel counties to this city for the trans
portaon of the products of that and the surround
ing country.
Plank Roads are being most extensively con-
structcd throughout the country, and have every
tchere proved profitable investments paying lar ge
dividends to the stockholders, besides improving
the value of property near them, and greatly in
creasing the trade in the places through which
they pass.
considerable portion of the stock has already
been subscribed.
Holders of the old stock in the company are cnti.
tied TO share of stock for every fioo shares
of the old, which will be issued to them on surren-
der of the old certificates. The new road will pro-
badly be finished in less than twelve months and
ready for travel. The cost will be less than Sl5,-
600 1t is thought it will pay dividend of not less
than FIVE per cent. the first year after il is finished
and the dividends will steadily increase.
