POETRY.

For the Register.
The Maiden's Complaint.
Translated from the German of Schiller.
The storm clouds fly;
The oak-trees roar
And the maiden sits
On the grassy shore;
And the mad waves near her dash with might
And she sighs aloud in the gloomy night
While her eye is discoored with weeping:
THE MAIDEN.
My heart is dead;
The world is diear;
And have no longer
My wishes here.
o Mary, in pity thy child recall;
OF the gifts ofearth have had my all;
For here have lived and have loved
rHE VIRGINS REPLY.
All child, it is vain
Those tears to shed;
Thy wailings will never
Awaken the dead.
But tell what will comfort thy sorrowing breast
Since the love is gone by which once it was blest,
And will refuse it no moro.
Let flow the tears
From thine aching head;
But let not thy waling
Awaken the dead,
For the sweetest friends of the sorrowing breast,
When the lovers gone by which once it was blest,
Are the pangs and the wailings of love.

The REPRESENTATIVE DIsTRIcTs. - The
number of representative districts in this
State, under the late apportionment, is l79-
of which twelve choose three members each,
and thirty-seven choose two members each,
making the aggregate of24O representatives to
be chosen. The largest district is ward of
Boston, which has two representatives for
1892 voters, or one for 1876 the next largest
is the town of Quincy, which has one for
1925 voters. The smallest district is Brook
line, which has one representative for 636 vo-
tiers, and the next smallest is ward OF Bos.
ton, whose ratio for three representatives is
639 for each. The Boston journal says the
division of the State into single districts will
have tendency to introduce greater divers
ity in the political elements of the Legisla-
ture. Boston, for instance, which on single
ticket has generally returned a delegation all
one way, will now return divided delega-
ton. The Democrats can confidently count
npon electing six members in wards L, 8, and
Z. while the Republicans can estimate with
any degree of certainty only upon eight rep
resentatives, from wards 4, 6, and s. In
wards 2, 8, IL, and u, the Fillmore men hold
the balance of power. In other cities there
will be 9 similar division, and the Democracy
"a party which has grown "small by degrees
and beautifully less"-will hereafter be fully
represented in proportion to its numbers in
the Legislature of the State.

The New York panic seems to grow almost
entirely out of stock speculations, and to be
confined chiefly to dealers in stocks. The
Tribune of yesterday says:
eve cannot learn that the present excited
state of money matters extends in any impor.
tant degree to dry goods, grocery, importing,
or other regular branches of business The
banks report no remarkable pressure for
money from their customers, and the recent
advance in the rates of paper, is the result of
the unsettled state of public confidence, rath-
er than in any scarcity of money, or increased
pressure Of paper on the market. The banks
are acting prudently, and while contracting
sharply, are extending to their dealers such
facilities as are absolutely needed.
The withdrawal as borrowers, of the Ohio
Trust Company, and several important rail
roads recently suspended, must have favora-
bic effect upon the money market. They were
constantly in reed of money at high rates of
interest"
The Boston Traveller of last evening, says
''New York is again quiet, in comparison
with the past few days, and stocks have raj
lied, natural result after the unusual and
sudden depression. Jacob Little is said to

Tko Young Mems Convention.

We cannot too strongly urge upon the young
Republicans of Worcester County, and such 9TH
ers as approve the nomination of Mr.. Banks for
Governor the necessity of taking early steps to be
represented in the Convention in this city on the
9Th, the call for which is in another column. Let
meetings be called in every town, at as early a
period practicable, for the choice Of delegates,
according TO the call, four at least for every rep
resentative in the Legislature. As many more
may come as can be rallied. The number and
ability of the speakers invited and respected to
address the Convention cannot but result in
drawing together one of the largest political as
semblages ever convened. Mr.. Banks, himself,
will be present, and speak, and give any doubters
of the soundness Of his position on the great
question of the day, an opportunity to satisfy
themselves that he is true to the great Republic
can and American principle Of preserving all the
national domain from. the footprints Of slavery,
and severing the general government from all
connection with or responsibility for its exist.
ence in the republic.
Let the young men of the Commonwealth come
up on the 9Th, and consult together in regard to
the bests interests of the State and of the nation,
and promote both by unanimous ratification of
the nomination of Nathaniel P. Banks, of Wal.
than. for Governor.

RUMoRED DEATH oE MRS. GARDNER, OF
HlNGHAM, FROM PoIsoN.-It has been stated
that Mrs. Gardner, mother of the late Hosea
Gardner, Postmaster of bingham, (who died
from poison, for the administration of which
his wife was arrested, } died at bingham, on
Monday last. She has been in failing health
ever since the tragical death of her son, and
by some it is thought that she might have in
some way, unconseiouSly partaken of the poi
son which destroyed the son. To test the
matter, post norton examination Of the
body has been determined upon. 1t will be
remembered that Mrs Gardner was in attend
ance upon her son in his last sickness. and
was the first person to suspect that he had
been poisoned, and that after the utterance
of her suspicion, she was ordered from the
bedside of her son and otherwise harshly
treated. She was an important witness for
Government in the case against her daughter
in-law, whose trial is about to take place at
Plymouth. The testimony of the doctor in
attendance will, however, in part supply the
deficiency in the evidence caused by her
death
We understand that ever since the death of
her son, Mrs. Gardner has had apprehensions
that she might have imbibed poison in tasting
the drinks of her son, but her physician was
unable to detect any symptoms which would
lead him to suppose that she was suffering
from poison.
The trial of Mrs. Gardner, Jr., has been
assigned for the 9Th of September, when there
will be special session Of the Supreme Court
at Plymouth. Charles G. Davis Of Plymouth
and l.. w. Harris of Bridgewater will appear
for the accused.
I. S.-We understand from DIR. Stevenson
OF bingham that no post norton examination
OF the body of Mrs. Gardner was made pre-
Vious to burial, such course not being deem
ed necessary Boston Traveller.
