POETICAL.
Tor the American. The Place of Item. There is a place above the sky, Of everlasting rest, To which unspotted spirits fly, To be forever blest. I'd leave this shore of sin and woe This land of pain anil careTo be with those Inn? gone before, Their Heavenly bliss to share. O! what lias earth to keep me here? Throiighr nt its cold domain; Its plrastire madly kindles fear, And tills i.ur souls uith pain. Its joys are sorrow's bitter cup, Its hpes are blighted soon. Its maxims would our time take up, And wrap our minds in gloom. I'll fix my eye on that blest home Above the shining Sun, Where everlaMint; peace is known. Where sorrows never cmne. m I'll worship iih the bloodwashed thronj. Around His blazing throne, I'll strike the notes of Heaven's song, To Jesus Christ, the Son. A. Laurel, Jan. 39, 18-19.

'Tis said that I am homeless, too That dearest ties are riven; And so is many a fragrant gale, Which blesses woodland, hill, and valeThere's home and rest in heaven. Tis said that gloomy hours may come LiTe's bark be tempest-driven ; But 'tis amid the frowning storm, The promise bow reveals its form The pledge of peace with heaven.
