POETICAL.
For The Virginia Free Press.
A VISION.

Alone 10 my room this Autumn night
sit at my window high,
And steadiast gaze on the iulsome rays
or the Harvest moon in the SKY.
The ashes fall from my spent cigar,
AsI build brigh, fancies there
For nv wild brain teens with oeaHhu
dreams
Dreams, so sweet and faiF
From ou, the generous mellow glow
Flooding the earth around.
There slow appears, mid smiles and tears
And vet without sound
Two girlish figures clad in white,
And borne upon the air
Ana one. with ewes blue as the skies,
And one, so very fair.
And one shakes loose her auburn curls,
And laughs in merry glee,
And one so fair, with chestnut hair,
Is silent as the sea.
But hark upon the cool night air
Celestial notes are borne,
while ,hro' the mist with moonlight kist
There comes an angel form.
Above the heads of maidens two,
Is poised golden crown
And Slow dcscends the maiden bends,l
Upon the head of brown!
oBeholdr" !" The Angel cries, and points
To her with auburn tress-
"The light and gay,-too many theF'
"With crown cannot bless
"To her."-he reverently waves
Where, crowned the other stands
"To her who waits at Sorrows Gates,
"And heeds his slight commands
"To her who visits orphans graves,
"And sheds cen Sorrows Tear
Adjudge the crown, the golden crown,
"For Sorrows Queen is here p
And 10! again Celestial notes
Are watt upon the breeze
And tho unseen,- the censor's sheen,
Yet on the air it leaves
The aromatic incense-cloud -
The Angel fades away,
The Harvest moon sinks down 70" soon,
And slowly comes the day.
And even ere they melt away,
| see the fairy pair
The one with eyes blue as the skies,
And one with chestnut hair.
The former kneels in homage, low,
And holds her sisters hand,
Who stands Queen, in peise and mlen,
Crowned with a golden band.
Her sad brown eyes are raised alo't
Tho glistening, still, with tears
| see her stand, impassioned, grand,
And stranger TO all fears.
The shadows pale, the day crceps or,
The stars are slowly dying,
And still gaze on moonlight rays
Athwart the heavens lying
The cocks begin their lusty CROW
The sun is surely rising,
So I'll to bed, sleepy-head
And stop this--crGsed surmi'i"J
But list For ere ] seek my couch
To WOO the god OF slumbers-
You've heard me thro-lrS GOSPEL TeuE,
Now, play your sweetest numbers.

that he looked as much passenge' as any

it turned into Michigan avenue an old LADY

young men followed suit, and the car moved
on again, the driver keeping his eye on The
"dummy and wondering if be was gong 70

At First street the driver jinsed MS bell
for fare, and the two young men and the old
woman looked over at the straw man. Ihe
car moved up to Third street, and the driver
looked through the window and yelled Pare,
and Rnaled the bell again There being no
response, he opened the door aud called out to
the straw man
"Say, you You want to pay your fare J.
There was no answer, and after going hall

"You man, ihere-walk up here and pay

One Of the young men sat opposite " dunn

CHECKING GERMAN EMTGnATIoN.-Emigra-
ton to America having very much decreased
oflate, the Berlin Government, who have long
looked with disfavor upon the steady diminu-
ition of the national resources involved in the
movement, have determined to profit By the
present opportunity for stemmins the tide
The two principal measures to be adopted arc
the dmsemtermen. Of portion Of The i'm
mense crown lands of Prussia, and the prohib-
tion to enlist emigrnnts on foreign account at
a premium Of so much head. By the for
mer measure poor people are to be enabled to
acquire few acres and house which they
may call their own the latter step being in
tended to put fnal stop to the business Of
Brazilian aud other foreign emigration agents.
There is no dbutl that this determination Of
the Prussian Government will shortly begin to
be felt in America and elsewhere.
