The Broken Bridge.

Several years since a vernal flood on one of our noble rivers swept away part of a bridge which had spanned the waters. In a gloomy night, an incautious traveler passed over the spans remaining from one shore to the middle of the river, and suddenly fell to the sweeping current below, with a cry of distress, heard, but unanswered till too late.
