THE SPIRITS LAND.

SIR JOHN MALCOLM.
The Spirits Land"whcre is that land
or which our fathers tell
On whose mysterious. viewless strand
Earth parted millions dwell!
Beyond the bright and starry sphere,
Creations flaming space remote:
Beyond the measareless career,
The phantom flight of Thought.
There, fadeless flowers their blossoms wave
Beneath a cloudless sky;
And there the latest lingering tear
LIZ wiped from every eye;
And souls beneath the trees Of life
Repose upon that blessed shore,
Where pain, and toll, and storm, and strife,
Shall never reach them more.
And yet, methinks chastcncd wo
Zen there may prompt the sigh
Sweet SORROWS we woul,taiot forcro
For calm, unniinGled Joy;
When strains from angel-harps may stray
On heavenly airs of mortal birth,
That we have heard far, far away,
Amid the bowers Of earth.
All! then perchancc, their saddcnirc smell.
That from oblivion saves,
May wander, like lorn farewell
From this dim land of graves:
And, like the vision of dream,
Shed on the disembodied mind
Ofmortal life dying CLEAN.
And loved ones left behind.
Yes-yes, will, must bclicyo,
That Natures sEcred ties
Survive, and to the spirit clcnve,
Immortal in the skies;
And that imperfect were my bliss
In heaven itself, and dashed with care,
lfthosc loved on earth should miss
The path that lcadeth there.

has been for the last two or three weeks, they will
probably consume even less than at present.
