hand on each side Of the hole, and drops

THE SPIDER AND THE TOAD

Some author tno great matter who,
Provided what he says be tde,)
Relates be saw with hostile rage,
A spider and toad engage
For though with poison both arc stored,
Each by the other is abhorred.
1t seems as if their common venom
Provoked an enmity between 'em.
lmplacable, malicious, cruel,
Like modern hero in duel,
The spider darted on his foe,
Infxing death at every blow.
The toad, by ready instinct taught,
An antidote, when wounded, sought;
From the herb plantain growing near,
We'll known TO toads its virtues rare,)
The spiders poison to repel,
1t cropped the leaf and soon was well.
This remedy it often tried,
And all the spiders rage defed.
The person who tho cS.tss. viewed,
While yet the battle doubtful stood,
Removed the healing plant away.
And thus the spider gained the day;
For when the toad returned once more,
| Wounded as it had been before,
To seek relief and found it not,
1t swelled and died upon the spot

His eagle Gag uurollod and froze.

Of al the kings whose crowns he gave
Bends Ger his dnst-nor wife nor son

Behind this sea,girt rock, the star

High 10 his couch; the ocean flood
Far, far below, by storms Is curled;
As round him heaved, while high he stood
A stormy and unstable world.
Alone he sleeps the mountain cloud
That night hangs round him, and the breath
OF morning scatters, IN the shroud
That wraps the eonquercrs clay in death.
Pause here The far oil world at last
Breathes e;-the hand that shook its thrones
Aud to the earth its mirtes cast,
Lies powerless now beneath these stones.
Hark comes there from the pyramids,

And Europe's hills, a voice that bids

With soothing cain on every breeze is born

A CITY OF BROTHERHOODs.

BY THE LATE EDWARD r. CAEPBELL, ESQ
In the silent midnight watches.
In the solemn hush of Night,
When the soul communes with spirits,
From the upper~world of light;
Then it was, awake or dreaming,

Like the sound of many waters,

Then heard a tale of wonder,
Then saw broad domain,
Where the congregated thousands
Built acity on the plain.
Twas vast, fall peopled city,
For the mightiest of the eath
Daily growing, gath'ring thousands,
Whatsoe'r their name or birth
There the proud, the meek, the learned,
Rich and poor, and bond and free,
Young aud old, in bonds fraternal,
Meet in perfect unity.
Quiet dwells within that city
Strife and Mammon enter not;
Calm it seem'd as holy Sabbath
Every dome holy spot.
None for love Of lucre leave it;
None rebel against its laws;
Never yield they to the Tempter,-
For the Tempter gives no cause!
Streets and alleys intersectiag,
Laid with geometric art,
Witnessed to the love Of order,
Both Of head aud chastened heart
Marble mansions shone by moonlight;
Every portal bore u name;
But no sound Of voice or iOotstep,
Thence from street or mansion came.

'jority of those congregated IN any flashing
ton bar-roon,," but on the other hand the
New York Times, which is Republican"
journal also, says:
emo popular revolution will follow this
decision, startling as it will be to the opin-
ions and principles of three-fourths of the
people of the United States. 1t UiU be ac-
copied as the authoritative exposition of the
Constitution, and regarded by all depart
nsents of the government and By the people as
the la,o Of the land. No issue will probably
ever be made upon it before the people, for
the practical settlement of the question will
anticipate any political result that might be
reached. But it will profoundly affect the
public mind in regard to the general ques-
ton of slavery, and will change the issues
which must inevitably come up sooner or
later in reference to it. That it will render
them less absorbing in their nature, less
disturbing in their progress, or more safe
and peaceful in their results, no one who
knows anything of the temper of the Anne
rican people can for moment believe"
The New York Journal of Commerce, an
Independent and judicieus journal, gives
prominency and appreciation to the opinion.

We learn that the schooner w. Kent
Hall, Capt. Allstan, from this place, was
caught out in the Bay, between Annapolis
and Baltimore, when the heavy gale of last
Sunday week came on, and was forced into
harbor on the Eastern Shore, where she
parted with both anchors and was driven a.
shore. To save the vessel it was necessa-
ry, we understand, to cut away a part of
the bulwarks so as to allow the water to
pass over her decks without obstruction.
The tide being low at the time enabled the
vessel to be got off the next day with but
slight difficulty. The loss of the anchors
and other damages will amount to about
$3.50. A fortunate escape, considering the
severity Of the gale.

THE MARKETS.

BALTIMORE, March 9, 1857.
FLouR.-Howard street, City Mills, and Ohio
Sc co. We quote Baltimore ground family at
IS IS, and extra do. 81 so. Howard Street and
Ohio extra at Sc so.
GRA1N.-There was good inquiry this morn
ing for Grain, and for all varieties the market
was firm.
Vheat-Of Wheat there were about 3 500 bush
els offered nearly all of which changed hands,
Good reds sold at 143 144 cts. and for white
prices ranged at from $50 to 100 cts. for ordinary
to prime parcels.
Corm-Corn was in quite active demand at an
advance on Saturdays rates. There were 35,-
sold at 57s60 cts. for white and 57a61 cts.
for new yellow.
Rye-We quote Maryland at IS cts.
Oats-Sales at 38a40 cents for Maryland and
Virginia.
from the American of Saturday last.l
ToBAcco-Tbere have been small receipts Of
the new crop of Maryland Tobacco, which have
been promptly taken Dy shippers at full prices
The first lots received were held above the prices
realised at the close of the year, but shippers
could not be induced to accede to them, and pri
ces settled down at about the rates prevailing be-
fore the suspension of navigation. The sales
comprise some SIS hhds. new crop Maryland at ~
asl2. The quality of the new crop of Maryland
is above the average, and it is supposed that pri
ces will not decline during the present year. The
good descriptions, of which there is larger pro-
portion than usual, will maintain their prices, and
if there be any fuctuation It will probably be in
the common and inferior sorts, which will ad-
vance in price, as there is active demand for
them, or whenever the supplies are less than re-
quired. 1t is quite probable the prevailing prices
will cause the receipts of Maryland during the
months of March and April to be unusually large.
The receipts of Ohio Tobacco have been pretty
fair for the season, but the active demand allows
no accumulation of stocks. The safes this week
are about $50 hhds. Ohio, at former rates. The
inspections of the week are SO hbds. Maryland,
1914 hhds. Ohio, 10 bids Virginia. and "a hbds.

EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS. 49, Washington,
March 9.-The new Cabinet was in session
this morning, engaged, as is supposed, in
the consideration of the policy to be pur-
sued relative to the Executive appointments
All the departments have furnished lists
Of the officers who held places in the same
under limited commissions, and the opin-
ion prevails here that such officers will be
permitted to continue until the expiration OF
their commissions, to be reappointed or not,
as the administration may prefer but, as a
general rule, such vacancies are to be filled
by new men, which some of the incumbents
already understand and this will be the
case especially in New York, Philadelphia,
and other principal cities. The minor
places will of course be effected by this poll
cy, which is regarded as one Of rotation.
Almost an entire change of foreign min
listers, and consuls is anticipated
The Democratic members of the Senate,
in caucus, have concluded to adjourn on
Saturday next, provided the President has
no occasion to detain them beyond that time
Mr.. Cass has rented the dwelling now &C.
