A broken reed at best, but oft a spear, On whose sharp point peace bleeds and hope ex. piree." The world smiled on me at my birth— Beneath a rose-hued sky, Rocked on the summer waves of love, My childhood glided try. My boyhnod paused in thrilling dreams, In longings for the strife, The glory and the pageantry, The tournament of life. At manhood's, age, a being proud • It id passionate, I Otond— Cold, lands wore mine, and through My reins Went looping princely blood. Then Pleasure held her goblet high, And called on me to drain Tho glowing wino quelled by the gods-- Till madness fired my brain; r. he mocked and tortured by deloy— Then at my freniied. call, She offered to my burning Hp Thecup, and it was ge;l. won a friend by generous deeds; (The with an open brow-- . Fe tumid his very life to mine With many a holy vow. Then fell the.bolt,-I was betrayed! ry cod, Millie:. art; By words that, like ba:bed arrowa, still Are quivering in my heart. At last unto my bcsom came, In gentlest guise, young Love; It crept into its resting place, A sweet and quiet dove. I warmed it ir. my inmost heart, Closed from the world's chid air;-- 'twas a rapture caught from heaven, To feel it nettling there! But ah, ono morn, from visions blest, I wakened with a moan, . • There wr, c rOure at my lures:, And th:it young dove had flown! Then Fame held forth her laurel crown, Front her prowl height afar; I longed for it. as dues a child At evening, for a star. I toiled, I suffered—humble joys I careless flung aside, Saw peace take wing, and in the dust How down my manly pride. At last, at last it bound my brow, That green immortal wreath! Exulting, glorying 1 stood, Defying time and death! Yet soon I would have given worlds To fling it off again— For thorns were hid among the leaves, That pierced me to the brain! Row is my life a storm-wrecked bark, Dashed by time's surges high Upon a hare, cold island rock, Beneath a northern sky. There, in that realm where hearts congeal, Tho spirit's frozen zone, A joyless, cheerless, loveless age— ! stand alone—alone. [Prom Me Harrisburg Telegraph, Extra, of the lath intant.) 41SERA.' .i.Loon IN THE 3t7 P- QUEIIANNA. Destructiim of the Harrisburg Bridges, the Bridge at Clark's Ferry over the Susquehanna, and Me Bridge over the mouth of the Juniata--the Duncannon Iron Works, and the Bridge over Sherman's Creek, below Duneannon—slop page of the • Anthracite • Furnace—probable destruction of the Public Works, arc. 4c. . The rise.of. the Water M the.fitisqueltanne, Which commenced on Friday last, has been tha most des tyuctive flood that has ever been witnessed since the first settleMent of the catintry on its border.., Harrisburg, at the time of witting, is approachable en. the bast, South and Wyk, only by water com munication, and, standing on an elevated place, it presents the appearance of a town sinking. into the sea—the bcuses in the lower part of it beirig sub merged in water, in some instances, nearly up to the second story. The ground. about it, lower than the main part of the town, are covered with water, generally so deep as to obliterate all traces of fences, bridges and streams. Paxton creek is entirely lost in the mighty con gregation of water., and' the Susquehanna, from shore to shore, covering entirely the large island which lay in its centre, which connected the two divisions of the old Harrisburg Bridge, presents a current of fierce turbulent waters, bearing on Itd bosom an indescribable and innumerable mass of flood wood, timber, &c„ that has been torts from its resting places, as trophica of its irresistible power. teivrcen len and eleven o'clock, on Saturday evening the piers of the Old Harrisburg Bridge, (that celebrated structure, the first built over the Busquehanna—built by Burr on the A rch principle, at a cost of $105.000, commenced in 1313 and completed in 1817,) which had buffeted many a raging flood, began to give way on this side of the island and to yield to the mighty current and its battering ram of ice, and on Sunday morning be tween three and four o'clock, two of the middle span of arches fell and were swept down the stream. These were noon followed by two othere, leaving but a single span neat to Harrisburg, which also fell about two o'clock, P. M., and tloatcd majestically away. The west part of the Harrisburg Bridge, extend ing from the island to the Cumberland shore is still standing—but whether it has sustained injury in yet unknown. Of the new Railroad Bridge, wh:ch was beini; constructed by Mr. Kirkbride, all the piers were finished and four spans of the frame work were erected on them. Two spans of this 'went just be fore the Harrislityg Bridge, and the other two spans were swept off by the Duncan's Island Bridge footing ageinst them in its descant. Thus the Harrisburg Fide of the river is entirely stripped of all bridges, or vcstage of them, the piers being only discernable by the whirl of ths wilier as it passes over where they were. Two spans of the canteen and of the hriilgo al Nunn s Island, erected in 1337—ear of the finest structures in our country, have aloe been carried away. Also, the bridge over the mouth of the Ju niata, from Dunean's Island to the Perry county shore ; and the bridge over Sherman's creek in the village of Duncanon. 'rite dam across the same stream, with the extensive nail factory and rolling rail!, at the same place, has also been carried away, and the works of Fisher & Co., are reported es having suffered greatly, in the destruction of build hip, machinery, etc. The nail factory is said to ho entirely destroyed. The loss at this place Can scarcely be estimated. Front the high water of the Juniata, as well ea the Susquehanna, and a knowledge of its effects in termer floods, it is feared that the entire Main Line of the Canal will be rendered unnavigable for a. great part, if not for the whole of the opening sea son ; and if the destruction by the flood has ex leaded up the North and West Branches cf the Susquehanna, niece canals may he so damaged as to be irreparable the present year. It is a sad day fcr the hopes .of Pennsylvania, and one that we fear may be fe:t !!,..'so who hive pieced depend ence en her ability to de justice to all. All communication between Harrisburg and the West 613 of _the Susquehanna is entirely cut off, and must remain cc until the waters subside and a ferry is opened. The trains of the Cumberland. ( Valley Railroad erri,ed yesterdey morning and afternoon, on the Viest side, mid Hew their whis tles, but after finding that all cominunication was cut oft they moved West again with their load. of passengers, The casting house of the Anthracite furnace of lix•Gov. Porter, was covered with water, which , tae es high es the heerth, and into the furnaces of the boilers. The furnace Was stopped ; but it is supposed that the bloat will be resumed tc.inorrow. Parte of buildings, water wheels, canal boats, rafts, lumber, logs, etc., have passed down on the bosom of the flood. One canal boat was brought to shore a short distence below town, in which were upwards of one hundred barrels of flour.— The loss to individuals as well as to the State, and to companies, will in many instances be severe; and it is not unlikely that hundreds who,have been toiling for months in preparing lurn!'cr fur market, have been stripped and left destitute, A t.preeent the looses can only be conjectured, end wo hope that they will not equal the present expectations of our community. It is feared that great damage tee also bon done to the Wiconisco Canal—but nothing certain known. A great portion of the town of Portmouth, nine miles below Harrisburg, on the Susquehanna, nt the junction of the Swatara, is said to be under tva. tor, and the houses creured from floating awe by cables. The following is a statement of the rise of the Susquehanna at Harrisburg, which contained more water than the terrible ice flood in the winter of 1785, or the memorable pumpkin flood of 1787 : At 3 o'clocli, P. ft., on Priday the 13th ir.st., the water in the Susquehanna %vas 5 fent above law watermark. On Satprday, the 14t1t at 7 o'clock A. M. 11 feet ; at 113 o'clock it was 133 ire;; at 2 o'clock I'. M. it was fifteen feet; at 5 o'clock it was 163 feet ; at 63 o'clock it was 17i feet; at 83 o'clock it was 183 feet; at 103 o'clock it was 18 feet 11 inches ;on Sunday morning the 15th, at . 4 o'clock A. M. the water had risen to 20 feet 1 inch ; at 9 o'clock to 20 feet 3 inches; and at 9 o'clock to 20 feet 4 inches; at 10 o'clock it stood at the same; at 12 o'clock N. it had fallen three fourths of an inch ; at 1 o'clock P. M. an inch and a half ;at 2 o'clock two inches and a quar- ter ; at 5 o'clock it had fullest 53 inches; and at 6 o'clock it had fallen 7 inches. It has since contin ued to fall gradually. We should fail to do justice to the fearlessness and resolution of woman did we net Mention that two ladies from New England, who arrived here on Saturday last, cn their way to Missouri, tmaccont panted by any gentleman, summoned the resolution this morning to get into a skiff into which the mail was placed, to cross over to tho island, (a risk of their !Ives that few of ode citizens could have been induced to'rnn) which they reached in safety, and from thence to the Cumberland side by the western division of the bridge. The bank of the river was lined with spectators to witness the result of the perilous enterprise.

At Flu the Sow Mill swept away and the dam broken. At Duncannon a breach wee made in the dam, and four out of fourteen furnaces ware undermined and destroyed. The Rolling Mill and Nail Factory escaped without material injury; but one half of the Puddling mill is destroy ed and the other half injured; and two hundred workmen thrown out of employ. The estimated dainag; at Duneannon is "0.000 dollars. The bridge at the mouth of Slierntan's acnk I a destroyed; and the Susquelienne division Canal above Duncan's talend ea far •_s is known is de stroyed, if not entirely obliterated. The Acquiluet across the Juniata was standing. It was thought that the Juniata division was not seriously injured. as the water in the Juniata was not as 'high all it wee in IClS—the damage being done by the back water from the Susquehanna.

New Agricultural .Wrinkle,; A funny story is told of an old friend of ours— one who, sick and tired of the care and bustle of city life, has retired into the country, and.
