Poetry.

For the Spectator.
Lines in memory of SALLIE STEELE-infant
daughter Of j. f. and A. P. Heizer, who died
March 18th, 1868-aged months and 20 days.
AS dew-drops that rest on the sweet-scented
flower
But sparkle in beauty, one brief. feeting hour,
Then vanish, exhaled by the breath of the morn,
Their beauty departed, their brightness all gone.
IT'S thus our loved Sallie, with infantile grace,
Beguilng our hearts with her sweet smiling face,
Yet ere we could claim the treasure thus given,
Twas called from this earth and transplanted to
Heaven
Yet the beautiful dew-drops though bright but
an hour,
Refresh, with their virtue, the delicate flower,
And raise the sweet buds that were dropping be-
fore,
To open their leaflets, their fragrance to pour.
Our dew-drop-our darling, how bright on our
hearts
She shone for awhile then was called to depart ;
The love which she awakened will strengthen and
prove
A beacon to lure us to mansions above.
o! there she will sparkle forever in light
More beautiful far than in our feeble sight
For no sin left its stain on her pure angel face,
And there she will shine with each heavenly
grace META.

LYNcHBURG, April 25, 1868.
Hon. Robt Ridg,ooy:
DEAR SIR-Haying learned your determina-
ton to leave your native State for New York,
and being we'll assured that no man in all the
broad limits of our dear old Commonwealth
feels more lively interest in her future, and
that no one is more keenly alive to sense of
the degradation and wrongs which have been
and are being heaped upon her people, and re-
membering well the bold and fearless manner
in which, as journalist, you once battled for
what you conceived to be her best interests as
well as the interests of our common country !;
and being we'll assured that in the new field of
labor upon which you are about to enter, every
energy Of your being will be employed in be:
half of the rights and liberties of an oppressed
and unhappy people, we do, without regard to
former political differences, which did exist be-
tween many of us and yourself, but now stand
ing upon one common platform, beg leave to
assure you Of our best wishes in your new en-
terprise and, also, earnestly to request that
you address the citizens of Lynchburg, at such
time as you may designate, before leaving, up
on the political issues of the day.

For the Spectator.
TO MR.. PIPES.

Pray, Mr.. Pipes, don't think me rude
For what here may say;
Just one more hint might do you good
truly hope it may.
You say, while wandering through this vale
If e. 'er you chance to see
A truthful maiden, old and stale,
She, Mrs. Pipes shall be.
If ere you should this notion take,
Pray first consider we'll,
How this might prove grave mistake
A tale too sad to tell.
For she already press with cares,
With heart though true and brave,
Might tread her path, with silvered hairs
In sorrow to the grave.
Remember that her noble heart
Would think to find you so,
And, if deceived, how keen the smart,
That trusting heart must know.
Then wed no maiden old and halt
Though she in heart be strong,
Unless you cease your finding fault,
She could not stand it longI

Your obedient servants,
AMHERST. Anil 81. 1868

AMHERST, April 81, 1868.
GENTLEMEN-Yourl letter inviting me to ad
dress the people of Lynchburg on the political
issues of the day, previously to my leaving the
State for residence in distant city, has been
received. While thanking you kindly for the
high and undeserved compliment implied in
your invitation, deeply regret that my engage
ments are OF such character as to forbid CON-
pliance with the wishes so warmly and hatter-
ingly expressed, Of SO many Of the intelligent,
influential and substantial citizens of city in
whose welfare and prosperity | feel, and have
always felt, profound and generous interest.
Among the signatures to the letter l have
had the honor to receive observe, not with
out emotion the names Of many gentlemen dis
tinguished for their virtues and accomplish
ments, with whom it was my misfortune to diff
fer widely on political subjects, in other days.
A circumstance so honorable to them and so
gratifying to me, affords NE the fitting oppor-
tunity Of saying, that if, as was doubtless the
case, amid the heat and passion Of party con-
fict, | CHANGED to wound the feelings of any,
who then stood in political opposition to me, [
desire, here and now, to express regret and to
ask forgiveness, with the assurance on my part
that | cherish neither personal nor political re-
sentiment towards any man or set of men any,
where within the broad limits of our stricken
and desolated Commonwealth With the
"dead past" beyond the recent fearful food of
war and bloodshed lies buried, so far as l am
concerned, whatever of animosity or unkind
feeling long years of partisan strife may have
engendered. The sorrows and calamities of a
fatal struggle enhanced by the ominous shad-
ows that darken the present and shut out the
future, should surely be enough to assuage un-
kindness and make friends and brethren of us
all-and so let us be.
Whatever political errors, gentlemen, 1 may
have committed in the past, can safely ap>
peal to Him who knoweth the secret intents
and purposes of the hearts of men, to sustain
me in the assertion that never at any time or
under any circumstances, entertained thought
or cherished a sentiment inconsistent with the
truest and loftiest fidelity to the honor and well
fare of my native State And rest assured
that, whithersoever | may go, or whatever for
tune may betide, | shall carry with me the Vir-
ginianism to which you and I were born, and
which I would not barter for all that earth con-
tains Of brightest and best-for, to be a Vir-
