POETRY.
From The Boston Centinel.


TO MY SISTER ON HER BIRTH DAY.
THE Day has returned, or of sorrow or gladness,
That brought thee, my Sister, to scenes here be-
low;
Like Jobs, may it ne'er be day of dull sadness,
Or bring in its circle a momeut of woe.
Accept this sincere, but most humble eifusion,
The feelings of love and affection impart;
MAY the blessings of heaven, in lovely profusiop,
Eneircle thy head and enlveu thy heart.
In pleasures delusive and fanciful bowers,
/ ask not for thee either favor or boon;
To deck the silk wings of the fast aeeting hours,
That ere we perceive them have faded and gone.
pray not that Beauty, the sweetest of faces,
To you their assistance may ever impart;
/ ask for more lasting, more beautiful graees,
The purity, sweetness, aud charms of the heart.
How lovely in woman does virtue appear,
With religion, devotion. and piety joined;
A mind unaffected, heart, true, sincere,
And all christian virtues in union combined
While health, and while youth yet still in their
prime,
May the things that are needful your thoughts
e'er engage,
Nav YOU live in religion, sc redeeming the time"
And your life ever be as you'd wish it in age.
