PLANK RoAD.-Mr. A. b. Davis, of Montgomery
county, Maryland, is now in Washington, obtain
ing subscriptions for plank road, to connect with
that out Seventh street to the District boundary
line. The contemplated improvement for travel
will extend to Mechanicsvie, distance of four
teen miles. So popular is the project that already
fifteen thousand dollars worth of the stock has
been taken by persons living along the line; and
the prospect is that the work will at once be com
menced. The importance of easy and safe
transit of the vegetable products of that and the
adjoining fertile neighborhoods to this city is
apparent as to require no argument to commend
il to public patronage.

Our hopes are ike The wreahes Of foam
That glitter on each shining wave,
W hen with gushing sound they come
TIE white andahrsty beach 70 lave.
The walters part--the ripples gleam
A moment on the silent shore,
And vanish the hopes that seem
moment bright, and are no more.
Seeking for love, for fame, for power,
To the fair threads Of life we cling,
For hope we call whitening flower
And tune harp with broken string.
And hope will shed gmmerIng ray
Oh light on pleasures ruined shrine,
For Wondering columns still look gay
When summer sunbeamso'er them shine.
Though severed be loves magic chain,
Still TO its broken charms trust,
Aud hope TO mend the links again,
When grief has eaten them like the rust.
Frail as the bubbles on the beach
That hope may he-a transient beam,
But ret Of joy, It's sweet 10 teach
The heart TO hush its gIei and dream.
Our hopes are like the flowers that bloom
Upon the mountains verdant side,
That mountains heart burning tomb,
Cleft by the lava's scorchipg tide.
They spring and flourish, fade and die,
Like human hopes--as iraiI and fair,
While quenchless fires beneath them lie,
Like human passions hidden there.
Our fears are like the clouds that shed
Their gloom across summer sky,
When life is lairest, some wild dread
of grief is ever lowering nigh.
The gloom may pass-lhe shadows fade,
And sunlight only seem TO reign,
But still there is lingering shade,
A fear that clouds will come again.
Where the bright wells Of gladness spring,
Hope will the youthful heart decoy,
But fear is lowering there, to fling
shadow on the path oil Joy.
i canker worm within the fruit,
serpent in The liImet's nest,,
sentry ever grim aud mute,
Is lear within the human breast.
A rainbow never spans the sky,
But some dalk spirit Of The storm,
With sable plume, is lowering nigh,
To watch its soft and fairy form.
Hope never chants her fairy song,
Or bids us rest beneath her wing,
But fear, with all his phantom throng,
Is in the distance lowering.
We seek the laurel wreath of fame,
And all her tickle iavors trusI,
To live-perchance without name,
And find the chapet turn to dust.
Life wears away, mid smiles and tears
The wedding peal, tue funeral toll;
But though o'ershadowed still by fears
Hope is the sunlight OF the soul.
