TO A LOCK OF /

Bright, dark and glossy lock,
Wilt thou (momento) through life's troubled sea,
On wilt thou thus foerve: be to me,
Needless of years, 80 beautiful and free,
From times rude shockf
Yes, FOR no angry breath
Shall visit thee within thy Little cell;
No, nor a threatening cloud where thou dost dwell
Shall come, in fatal whispering to tell
OF grief or death.
Rest in thy case, no mock
Or playful ieer shall bid thee to depart
From out the gold-bound dwelling where thou art;
Or e'er erase thy memory from my heart,
Locket and lock.
Gentle and young the hand,
That from the mass did thee, dear relic, sever;
Bright was the head to which thou art lost forever
But time will scat he its locks, while thou wilt never
Know his dread hand.
Years will go wandering by,
And in another land peichaRce that tone,
That made a gentle ans wering to my own,
viii 20 anothel's ear be fondiy known,
Meath their own sky.
Then viii Turn to thee,
And, as | took thee in my early days,
Still beautiful and bright, thou'it meet my gaze,
Then shall | say that Heavens mysterious ways
Are wrong 10 me?
No, let me ever wear
This treasured relic in a sisters breast.
Close TO a sisters heart be fondly pressed
A sisters tenderness can cherish best,
Her broiher's hair.

DRIFTING SAND,

A town meeting is notified to be held in
Yarmouth, Barpstabe county, TO authorize
the raising of $500 Cor the purpose Of stopping
the sand near Wits book. 1t appears,
from an article IN the Yarmouth Register,
that ther, 'are several extensive wastes in
,ha. country, which have extended, in a
course fsears. over large tracts ofvaluable
land. In the present case, the, injury might
have been preYented twenty years ago. at a,
small cost, but 1t vii nov require large
expenditure TO preven. a considerable extent
Of valuable tillsge land bling ruined. The
ss. d travels 10 tic eastward only, the easterly
winds beng usually attended with SO much
moisture as to prevent the driving Of the sand.
Westerly winds are usually attended by dry
weather. The sand blows INTO hills like large
snow drias-some,imes covers, and sometimes
undermines fences; apple trees Of good size
are. aalf coyered by these drifts, and the her.
bage:id tie neigaborng fields is destroyed for
