Whiskey From Cornstalks.

On the 26th Of the present month letters
patent will he issued at Washington. says the
Richmond Times, to Messrs. James Nicely and
- Allen of Buckingham County, Virginia,
fr the manufacture of alcoholic spirits from a
material heretofore regarded as worthless.
By this valuable and important addition g.
modern science, all immense quantity OF gram
and potatoes. of which ardent spirits are now
manufactured, will be saved for the natural
uses for which they were intended.
The invention is no less beneficial than ex-
traordinary and surprising, and is destined b.
create revolution in the manufacture Of all
kinds of spirituous iquots. The simple and
unpretending cornstaIk, when sborn Of its ears
and oder, formerly rubbish and even beneath
the notice Of hungry horse or COW, has been
found by the inventor to possess every necessa-
~ qualification for the iis,illati n Of liquor Of
a superior quality aud flavor. To the genius
of Mr.. James Neely, Of Buckingham, is the
Country indebted far this wonderful discovery,
and we are happy tn say that both the Govern
ment officers in Washington and distilers in
the North who tested his .amples, have not on
ly given the most flattering assurances Of the
great value and Importance Of his invention.
but have also congratulated him as the fOrtu-
nate possessor Of such secret.

POETICAL.
SONG.

The harp at Natures advent strung
Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars Of morning sung
Has never died away.
And PRAYER is made and praise is given
by sn things near and tar
The ocean looketh up 10 heaven,
And mirrors every star.
Its waves are kneeling on the strand,
As kneels the human knee;
Their white locks bowling 10 the sand,
The priesthood Of tie seal
They pour their glittering treasures forth,
Their gifts Of pearl they bring,
And all the listening hills Of earth
Take up the song they sing.
The green earth sends her incense up
From many mountain shrine;
From folded leaf and dcwy cup
She pours her sscred wines
The ni.ts above the morning rills
Rise white as wings OF prayer;
The altar curtains OF the hills
Are sunsets purple air.
The winds with hymns of praise are loud,
Or low with sobs ofpain,
The thnnder-organ Of the cloud,
The dropping tears Of rain.
With dropping head and branches crossed,
That twilight forest grieyes,
Or speaks with Tongues of Pentecost
From all its sunlit leaves.
The blue sky is the temples arch,
Its transept earth and air,
The music OF its starry march
Ths chorus Of prayer.
So Nature keeps the reverent frame
With which her years began,
And all her signs and voices shame
The prsyerless heart Of man.

an empty pscking-box for table. where two
or three old chairs and disabled stools grsced
the reception room, the dark walls Of which
were further ornsmen,ed by display Of tin
ware. and broken delf article or two.
The woman was crying in the corner, and
the man, with tears in his eyes, and pipe in
bi. mouth, sat on STOOL with his dirty arms
resting On his knees, and his Unlocking
head supported b. the palms Of his hand'.-
No, word greeted the interloper.

the woman " and we amt got no patience TO

We learn from the Hsgerstown Nal that on
Monday of last week the President and Direc-
tors Of the Washington County Railroad, met at
Wevertun 10 witness experiments in blasting
rock with nitro-glycerin. The experiment took
place upon rock ~ feet deep. IS feet wide
and 6 feet in length. In this mass six holes
six feet deep each were drilled. Each hole was
charged with one and quarter lbs. Of nitro
gycerin, poured in from coffee pot, then the
tubes were dropped III. attached TO which were
wires communicating with galvanic battery
located one hundred yards distant; a few turns
of this battery with the hand, and the explosion
took place in four Of the holes. The effect was,
the rock was shattered and split and crushtc in-
10 pieces, from the consistency OF lime up TO
fragments Of great size. The second expert
ment was with two holes, in the section Of the
surface operated on nearest the mass Of rock yet
to be remuved. The second threw fragment
nf rock weighing $500 pounds out 'n the bank
a distance of 55 feet These experiments i'm
pressed the experienced and scientific gentle
men who witnessed them, with their wonderful
effect and success.
