The following beautiful lines are taken from I
oem by Mas Alice Carey
Very pale lies Annie ClayvilIe;
still her forehead, shadow-crowned'
And the watchers hear her saying,
As they softly tread around
"Go out, reapers, for the hill tops
Twinkle with the summers heat;
Lay out your swinging cradles
Golden burrows of ripe wheat!
While the little laughing children,
Lightly mixing work with play,
From between the long green winrowI,
Clean the sweetly-scented hay;
Let your sickles shine like sunbeams
In the silver flowing rye;
Ears grow heavy in the corn fields.
That will claim you by-and-by;
Go out, reapers, with your sickes,
Gather home the harvest store
Little CLEANERS, laughing CLEANERS,
shall go with you no more! J"
Round the red moon of October,
White and cold the eve stars climb,
Birds are gone, and flowers are dying;
'Tis a lonesome, lonesome time
Yellow leaves along the woodland
Surge to drift; the elm bough sways,
Cracking at the homestead window
All the weary nights and days;
Dismally the rain Is falling,
Very dismally and cold.
Close. within the village grave yard,
BY heap of freshest ground,
With simple. nameless head stone,
Lies low and narrow miound
And the brow OF Annie Clayville
Is no longer shadow crowned.
Rest tkee Iost one rest thee calmly,
Glad TO go where pain is o'er;
Where they say not, through the nighttime,
al am weary :" any more.

ARSENIC IN CANDLES 1t is a fact, which ought
to be generally known, that in the manufacture OF
nearly all the various kinds of hard composition
candles, which now 80 extensively made in
rious parts of the country, arsenic is important
ingredient, and used to very considerable extent
In a confined room, and more particularly sleep
ing apartments, the pernicious effects of burning
candles thus prepared cannot but be apparent to
every individual.
The following test Of the presence of arsenic in
such cases may be of interest and importance to
many. Suspend gold ring or pure coin an inch
or two above the flame of the candle, taking care
not TO present it to become red hot. After being
thus heated for a few minutes, cool it and rub the
article gently, and the arsenic, if any exists will
be found deposited on the polished surface of the
gold, and partially amalgamated with it, exhibit
ing a white dull metallic lustre, resembling very
inferior silver plate. This is said to be an infalli
bic indication of it's presence.-N Y. Tribune.

The CUBAN AFFAIR.-The New York Tribune
makes six important points, as deducible from the
late news from Cuba. First, that the bodies of the
prisoners shot at Havana with Crittenden and Kerr
were not maltreated; second, that the invaders
achieved no important success at any time; third,
that they killed no two thousand, thousand
nor even two hundred of the Spaniards; fourth,
that they at time were able to act the often
sive but fought for their lives from the first, and
were at length surprised and utterly routed; fifth,
that though they were landed in the very quarter
of Cuba where Lopez most likely to obtain aid /,
yet they received of any kind; and sixth, that
the Creoles, natives of Cuba, far from afford
ing them such aid as towards friendly to them
might safely have done, evinced the most active
and deadly hostility throughout to the invaders and
their cause.-Ale1andria Gazette.

to construct on this turnpikea Plank Road running
from the city boundary Seventh street to the line
OF the District and Montgomery county Maryl land
and for that purpose will issue stock to the ex-
tent of seven hundred and fifty shares, of fcenty
dollars each and have appointed the undersigned
to solicit and receive subscriptions TO the same.
Fue dollars on 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 its situation. There
is but little doubt that similar road will be
built, connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookville-the last in the midst OF fine agri.
cultural country; thus opening direct and easy
route from Montgomery and the upper part OF
Anne Arundel counties to this city for the trans
portation of the products Of that and the surround
ing country.
Plank Roads are being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have every-
tDhere proved profitable Investments paying large
dividends to the stockholders, besides improving
the value of property them, and greatly in
creasing the trade in the places through which
they pass.

tied to share of stock for every iDo shares

der of the old certificates. The road will pro-
baby be finished in less than twelve months and

than five per cent the first year after il is finished
and the dividends will steadily increase.

Seizure of an Anerican Brig in Cuba

PORTLAND, Sept. 9.--The barque Ranger, ar
rived from Cuba, reports that the brig Potosi, Capt
Sawyer, of this port, had been seized at Havana
for an attempt made by her officers to smuggle a
quantity of powder on shore. Capt. Sawyer and
Ransom Reynolds, the second mate, were examined
and imprisoned and it is thought they will be sent
out to Spain to serve out number of years in the
chain gangs. The brig, it was expected, would be
given up on the payment of fine. She is owned
by John b. Brown, of this place.
