POETRY.

TO LUCINDA.

When Spring comes dancing o'er the lea,
Rub'd iu her suit of rew•bora green,
And laughing, points at Winter's frown—
Then hides him 'neath her grass-wove screen ;
And &tweets rise beneath each tread,
Scenting the dewy sir around,
More sweet by mingling with the gale,
She breathes upou the gemmy ground.
Th►n, lovely girl, when morn unfolds
Her virgin charms, pore as the light,
. When breaking from its eastern chains,
It rests upon the mountain's height,
Then, dear Lucindi, Love, though blind,
Sports wild gamic each opening flower,
Culling each sweet and bitter draught,
To cheer or sadden many all hour.
His puhsh'd darts of inowy hue,
Fledied by the cygnet's softest down,
Pointed by stings from wild bees stole,
And turned in spite of•Reauty's frown !
Euthrim'cl, Ise siis, within smile ruse,
Breathing perfume—in blu►hing mood—
And, blindly, shoots them (tom his bows--
Young, tender hearts, their only food.

his science, or the satisfaction of his hearers. Hu
new Orrery is of immense size, and improves on
every trial. The new scene of all the mountains of
the world is a fine composition; but the whole is
crowned by the magnificent display of the sofa
',stem, where every planet and satellite is in motion
from the bottom of the stage to the top--a setting

that we have never before witnessed.

Thursday, while Mr. EDWARD STRPHENsoN, of
this city, was cleaning a home winch he had pur-
chased from the 19th Hussars, quartered here,
the animal suddenly sprang from him, went into a
dwelling-house in St. Cuthhert's-lane, marched up
two flights of stairs, and entered a rocinkoccupied
by Mr. T. Fisnza. The horse went pto the
fire-side, when, observing his image in e look-
ingilass, he began scrspifig with his fee , wing
with his head, and neighing at the figure of himself
he beheld. This strange visitor suffered himself to
be quietly led down stairs, without having com-
mitted any injury.—(Carbsle Joined.)
