The Poetry of modern days is 50 EIeiesS
we have been induced to infringe upon our
hbHry, and give, this week, an extract from
Rcslebrated poem Ly TFNNISON.
Extract from The Lot0S Eaters
Why are we weighed upon with heaviness,
And utterly consumed with shap distress,
While all things else have rest from weariness {?
All things have rest Why should we toll alone (?
We only toll, who are the first of things,
And make perpetual moan,
Still from one sorrow to another thrown.
Lo in the middle of the wood
The folded leaf is wooed fromout the bud
With winds upon the branch, and there
Grows green and broad, and takes no care,
Sun-nteeped at noon, and in the moon
Nightly dew-fed; and turning yellow
Falls and floats adown the air.
Lo! sweetened with the summer light,
The fujuiced apple, waxing over mellow,
Drops in silent autumn night.
All is allotted length of drys;
The flower ripens in its place,
Ripens and fades, and fails, and hath no toll,
Fast rooted in the fruitful soil.
Let us alone. Time drvcth onward fast
And in alittleswhile our lips are dumb
Let US alone. What is it that will lastP
All things are taken from US and become
Portions aud parcels of the dreadful past
Let us alone. What pleasure can we have
To war with evil? Is there any peace
In ever climbing up the climbing wave?
All things have rest, and ripen towards the
grave;
In silence ripen, fall, and cease;
Give MS long rest or death, dark death, or dream
full ease, ...
How sweet it were, hearing the downward
stream,
With halfshut eyes ever to seem
Falling asleep in halcdream
TO hear each others whispered speech;
Eating the lotos, day by day;
10 watch the crisping ripples on the beach
And tender curving lines of creamy spray;
To lend our hearts and spirits wholly
TO the influence of mld-miuded melan choIy:
TO muse aud brood, and live again in memory
WIN those old faces of our infancy,
Heaped over with mound of grass,
Two bandfulS of white dust, shut in an urn oe
brass.

[For the Lancaster Ledger
To my New Acquaintance.
Thy charms are so enchanting,
know not how to praise,
For words would still be wanting,
Sang in Byrons lays.
But as the Rustic Farmer
Who lives on Scotia S land,
By nature was Il chnrmer
Of great, Of good, and grand.
So may the humble praises,
That offered are by me,
Turn all the lofty praises
Of other Bards TO thee.
know thou well art worthy
To bear the name of Queen;
know each must adore thee,
Who hast thy beauties seen.
Thy brow surpasses lilies,
Thy lips the roses shade,
AS pears surpass the holIies,
Or groves, the marshy glade.
Thy form is perfect beauty,
Thy manners soft and mild,
Not selfish, proud or naughty,
Romantic, rowing, wild.
Thy eyes surpass the diamonds,
So costly and so fine;
The love of diamonds vanish,
Before those eyes of thine.
Thy ringlets are more beauteous
Than any e'er beheld;
Would even make Dianna,
In Joint of beauty, yield.
Thy frame 5 so well proportioned,
Thy eyes so beautcous are,
It's sure thou hast no rival,
Amongst the numerous fair.
I'm sure thou well art worthy,
The name of Queen to wear,
And he must e'cr adore thee,
Who does not hate the Fair.

Il medicinal herbs are of n most harmless
nature, while the extraordinary virtues they

immense success they have met with
throughout the States is most extraordinary,
owing, it is presumed, to their wonderful
