BT mrs. II. y. yREWETT,
IT'S written on tno rainbow's span,
IT'S written on the waning moon,
That all that charms the life Of man
Must pass into oblivion soon.
Lies early hopes like flowers Of morn,
The brightest gems that nature sees,
Ere noon with petals soiled and torn,
Are scattered BY the wantoa breeze.
One morn saw a rosy child,
With deep blue eye and brow Of light
He crossed my path In gambols Wild
His mother ehildless weps, that night.
We gather round her household tree,
The children Of our love and care;
They cross our thresholds young and free,
And never more assemble there.
We grasp the hand Of truth and worth,
And lore it as we deem it such
IT'S passed--we meet no more on earth
Or chill beneath its altered touch.
Where are the fervil dreams of youth,
Where are the hopes Of later years?
False were the visions priced as truth,
And hopes bright star ie paled in tears.
The falling leaf, the fading flower,
The setting stars, the varying sky,
Are emblematic Of the hour,
When al that feels LIES throb must die.
Cur liie u but ilfal dream-
A moments pang, 3 vapoF's breath,
An insect in a taper's CLEAN,
Whose every circle leads TO death.

A SAD SIGHT.-In passing up Broad
way yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock,
when all the world was en- promcnadc,we
met a well dressed lady, leading drum
ken man by the arm. His face was brui-
sed and dirty; and hers was concealed by
a very thick veil. lie looked like a very
foolish brute, with the disgusting tobacco
Juice trickling from the corners Of his
mouth, she looked like picture of des-
pairing Pity, with the tears trickling irou,
her eyes. We glanced at the staggering
pair--the one weak from intoXication, and
the other from shame and anguish, with
the feeling that earth has-no sadder sight
than that presented by heart-broken
wife leading her drunken husband, in open
day, through public street.--N. /. Dir

ham, the Senator from the adjoining Coun-

the senate of that State, for the incorpora.
ton of 4 company TO construct a bridge
across the Potomac river, opposite Vii
Transport in this County. EWashington
County will meet Berkeley half way, we
have no doubt the enterprise will succeed:
ana this, we think, thought by all means
TO do in q work of such obvious utility
A larger amount of business is done in
Wilhamsport than in any other town Of
the same population in the State, and the
entire County should take pride in extern
ding every necessary facility to the trade
of so important town.--Hag. Hcraii.
SHOWER OF MErEoRs-We see By a
paragraph in the Wheeling Argus, that
the citizens of that city were entertained
with q shower ofmeieors OH Sunday NOR
ming last. They are said TO have fallen
thick and fast, and that "lor moment II
seemed as if the heavens, suddenly sha-
ken by mighty wind, were about 10 drop

certain altitude, does his ballast"
