 hs east Jurying ground, Litt1feld.
 found thee not mid the bright leaves
 That drocr OCT festive bowers,
 Nor in the hand that lightly weaves
 A asma flowers.
 fonl thee not where gentle forms
 l., .iinisrv should bend
 To ibid thee from the blight of storms,
 Each Mayward shoot 10 tend.
 found lee not in golden shrine,
 Seeming the banquet hall,
 Nor mid tic crimson buds that line
 The gushing waterfall
 Not in the pageant wreath or crown
 Shedding thy first trc>h glow,
 Nor in the brilliant chap|e thrown,
 To press the victor's brow.
 Oh! for lonelier, meekcr spot
 Thy earliest bloom shed,
 Than palace, tountuin. bower, or grot,
 Or Fame's triumphal head.
 Thy bloom shrined ere it had burst
 To scent and charm the air,
 Thy buds by mourners hands were hurst,
 Ana wet Oy MOurneES teaFS'
 A mother deaihlcss lope hath lent
 A'holy spell to thee,
 And with t,y frs, faint odors blent
 heavenly purity.
 The summer gnles, the glad sunlight,
 Have played upon thy breast,
 The dim stars shone on thee at night
 Were not thy vieils b!est!
 Enchanted flowers! no costly gem
 Was Ger enshrined like thee,
 No star had e'er in diadem,
 So bright q panoply.
 And when thy fading, wasted bloom
 Hath all its fragrance shed,
 My lips shall mourn thy last perfume,
 Thou garland of the dead M. L. K. The Exploring Erpedition-Thc Salem papers an nounce the arrival ut that port, of the whale ship Ly dia, having on board freight and despatches.
