From every beam u rope was hung,
In every rope lover swung,
] asked the hue of every eye
That badc each luckless lover die;
Ten li,id lips said heavenly blue,
And ten accused the darker hue.

With iaircst light of beauty beamed;
She answered, some thought bo'h w,rc fsiti
Give her blue eyes and golden hair.

But as she spoke she rung the bell,
And all her girls nor small nor few,
Came marching in--their eyes were blue.

The locks that round her sorehead hung,
And tt rne her eye, glorious one,
Bright as diamond in the sun,
On me, until beneath its rays.

She liked ali eyes but eyes Of green;
She locked at me--what could she meant

And when his random arrows Gy,

Gaze not upon his field OF jet,
The shaft upon the string is set;
Look not beneath its azure veil,
Though every limb were cased i'll mail.
Well both might make martyr break
The chain that bound him to the stake,
And both, with but a single ray,
Can melt Our very heart away;
And both, when baarced, hardly seem
To stir the scales, or rock the beam,
But that is dearest all the while
That wears for US the sweetest sTile.

hacc, viz: The Safe muse by the Paymostcr OF
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Compn-
ny, in his Office at Reading, manufactured by
Farrtls & Herring and the Safe in use by H..
\. Iantz, in his store. manufactured by Evans
& Watson, and put in books and papers precisely
alike.
Thc'fre was started at 81 o'clock, A. NJ and
kept up until four cords of green hickory, two
cords dry oak and half chcsnut top wood were
entirely consumed, the whole under the surcrin-
teudcncc ofthe subscribers, members OF the Com
mttee. The Safes were then cooled of with
water, after which they were opened, and the
| books and papers taken out by the Committee
! aud sent to Ii. A. Lan,z's store for public exam.
