FOR THE LANCASTER GAZETTE.
THE DEPARTED SPIRIT.

The DEfAhIED SflhlI.
Ye are gone at last to the spirits land,
To that land of the good and blest.;
Not a sorrow is there--not a grief or care
To disturb thy peaceful rest.
We have safe arrived at your Fathers home,
Through pilgrimage sadden'd by tears;
But ye put not your trust in an arm of dust,
While here in these mortal spheres.
Ye rested upon an Almighty arm
That arm which was stretched forth to save
Your sinking form, on that night of storm,
When he trod the troubled wave.
Sorrow no longer nor sickness ye IL know,
Nights of watching and days Of wo--
The quiy'ring lip and the starting tear
Belong alone to this lower sphere.
Then farewell, pure spirit-intelligent mind
From this earth ye are passed away
To deathless land, and glorious band
Of saints in their bright array.

FROM THE n. Y. MIRROR.
TO BELINDA.

Oh, those eyes but that right eye in particular
Billy Lackaday.
Those auburn tfesses sweetly play
Around that peafly neck SO fair,
And sweetly does that brow display
The clustering ringlets slumbering there.
Not sea-born Venus, famed of old,
With streaming locks, like threads of gold,
Sparkling with oceans liquid brightness,
Could boast of graces SO divine,
As those bewitching locks of thine,
Which shade thy forehead's sunny whiteness
The softest shade of Tyrian dye
Can never with that cheek compare,
Nor will the bright carnation vie
In colour with thy lip, my fair.
What though Cashmere's delightful vale,
What balmy odour freights the gale
At every fragrant feast of roses,
Its charms are here-wby farther seek?
its tints are blooming on thy cheek,
Its fragrance on thy lip reposes.
That lip, so like the bow of love,
In graceful curvature and hue!
And there Is dimple just above,
A CULVER for his arrows too.
That sacred shrine of nameless charms,
That faithless shape, those graceful arms,
That peerless elegance of notion,
With rich beauties of the mind,
All, all in one dear form combined,
May well inspire this hearts devotion.
But oh, that EYE, that beaming eye,
Mild as the softest star of even,
Clear as the azure of the sky,
Bright as the vesper lamp of heaven!
Whence was that orb of beauty stole,
Whose matchless lustre, in my soul
Has lit a fame no power can smother
= Which 7" asked the fair IN clear of theft
These sixteen years we owned the left,
And pa paid Scudder for the other"
