From the Washington Spectator.
THE MARTYRS OF OPINION.
BY MUDIL BRAI9.

"Opinion an omnipotence, whose veil
Nantes the earth with darkness"
Chiids Harold.
/. The martyrs of Opinion,
How silently they die!
No monument upsoars TO heaven,
To tell us where they lie.
They live a life of fearful gloom,
They fall like stricken deer;
Dark Scorn consigns them 10 the tomb,
Their burial-rite, sheer!
The sword devours its millions;
The plague hath swept away
Its hecatombs of human worms,
And mingled them with clay;
But after these there comes a lull,
The hours with JOY are rife;
Opinions edge is never dull,
And never ends her strife.
She scales the lofty rampant,
She treads the busy mart,
Beneath the monarch's robe OF State,
She gnaws his inmost heart;
She hannts the student in his cell,
And blots his labored page,
Ev'n as the tabled fend of bell
Pursued the monkish sage.
Where radient beauty teaches
Her votaries TO bow,
Opinions loathsome vapors dim
The diamonds on her brow;
But mostly through the poor mans shed
The happy loves to roam,
To stain with filth his hard earned bread,
And drive him from his home.
Talk of the rack the dungeon,
The Moloch-tyrant's sway
The art Of torture grows more nice
In this improving day
With stern ordeals fenced around
Sits Custom, like a fate;
Move but an inch beyond her bound,
And Fashion shuts the gate.
They who have fought for freedom,
Or for their faith have bled,
Their deeds are in the mouth oftime,
They are not Of the dead;
Opinions martyrs, all alone,
Sink to their endless rest,
Their virtues dumb their worth Nv xnown.
Their names passing jest. %
Yet have they some remembrance
Within the night OF years;
The angels keep their record well,
And dew their graves with tears;
And He, the lamb on Calvary slain,
Who sits enthroned above,
/. He pays them for their lot Of pain,
From his rich store OF love-

Explosion.


Yesterday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, party
of boys were amusing themselves with fire
crackers in the store of Mr.. Kemmerer, on the
National road East Of Fifth street, when. acct
dentally one of the lighted missiles fell into Q
keg of powder, which instantly exploded, and
the building came tumbling about the ears Of
the asonished occupants, burying them be-
meath its ruins Five persons we're in the store
at the time, and seven were in the back part OF
the building occupied by the family of Mr.
Kemmerer, and strange to say none Of them
were very seriously injured. Three were ex
tracted from the mass of fallen timbers, slightly
scratched.
Mrs. Kemmerer, who was lying sick in bed
at the time, was thrown out upon the floor, and
her nervous system was violently shocked BY
the fright. The front of the building was
thrown outward upon the pavement, and many
of the articles in the store we're thrown dis
lance upward of one hundred feet. The loss il
estimated at about $4,000, the whole of which
will fall upon the unfortunate proprietor Ohio
