MEssRs. ANDREws,-So time since assisted
number of young ladies' in ornamenting hall fol
The Masonick festival of st. John Baptist. This
edifying employment occasioned the following lines
THE EVE OF ST JOHN BAPTIST
The earth now teemed with her richest fruit,
And nature was clad in her festal snit,
The day was near of ancient st. John,
NIrth and gladness were fastening on.
That band Of brothers, whose mystick tie,
PerVading the earth, brings the distant nigh;
Whose beginning wisdom in vain may trace
Whose end is not bounded by time or space;
That band of brothers was gathering now
To pay to St. John its solemn vow,
And oak-leaves and roses around were poured,
To crown with garlands the festive board
Woman was there; with her eye of light
And step of youth she hath charmed the sight:
She hath wreathed the oak, and twin'd the rose,
Till grace like her own around her CLOVIS.
Yet think not her footstep alone is found
Mid the choral hymn or the festal sound
No! dearer by far in affiiction her breath,
Whispering of heaven mid sorrow and death
In regions of love is her happy home,
Where no sigh of suffering ever can come;
From earth all that's fairest the soonest flies
In the soft air of hearen the flower never dies.

THE LOVES OF THE WATERS.

A SONG.
The Sun stole down the western sky
With noiseless step and burning glances,
And wooed the Waters playfully,
Who, loving, leap'd to his advances
They met land in that hallow'd gush
Of gladness, when the heart is feeling,
They gently kiss'd oh, mark the blush
That DER the Waters cheek is stealing!
The Sun is gone-and darkness now
Broods in the Waters breast of sorrow:
Oh! thus can man forget his vow,
And like the sun shine bright tomorrow.

A gentleman, complaining to his boot-maker that
par OF boots recently sent to him were too Short
and that he wanted pair to cover the whole calf
had the following jeu desprit sent to him.
NEW BOOTS.
These boots were never made for me,
They are too short by half;
want them long enough, dye see,
To cover all the calf
Why, Sir, said LAST, with stifed laugh,
TO alter them I'll try;
But if they cover all the CaJf
They must be fire feet high.

POETRY.
FOR THE LANCASTER GAZETTE.


MEssRs. ANDREws,-The following short poer
from the same source as two pieces you recent
blished. If you deem it worthy of publication
at your service
ON POETRY AND MUSICK.
When musck kindles on my tongue,
1t melts my breeding soul away;
I float upon the stream Of song
The transports of the burning lay.
Immortal muse! thou spotless dove,
Remain, thy raptures to inspire;
Upon thy wings soar above,
To fan the blaze of musick's FIRE.
CHORUS.
Oh musick lulls the heart to sleep,
Inspires the muse to smile or weep;
I feel the strong, the magick, glance,
Which makes the mystick soul to dance.
My heart it futters whilst glide
Away with this enchanting theme;
I'm waited by the wondrous tide,
Which bears me to tn Elysium's stream.
How pleasing is the pensive task,
The object of the sacred muse,
Whilst in the beams of song bask,.
And all the flowers of mind peruse.
CHORUS.
Come, guardian angel, come away,
And in thy censor take the lay,
And thence exhale charm sublime,
Upon the dulcet strains of rhyme.
Musick, the muse of sweet delight,
Contents the humours of the child,
Puts its capricious whims to fight,
And makes the restless infant mild.
Oh matches comforter of peace,
Which soothes the aged sire to rest,
Let thy sweet cadence never cease,
But sound the trouble from my breast.
CHORUS.
Apollo, to thy power owe
The praise of musick here below,
To whom the art of song was given
To elevate the soul to heaven.
Twas nature taught me first TO rise,
And sail upon the muses. wing;
Enraptur'd, o with sweet surprise
touched with joy on every string.
Twas nature led me first along,
Through bright Minerals sacred grove,
Where first found the gem of song,
Which rivalled all the power of love.
CHORUS.
Regardless of the sound of fame,
In early youth caught the flame;
And strove, unpublished, void of fear,
To breathe song in every ear.
