FROM A LATE LONDON PAPER.
WiTHtimbers green fromChild
.hood's Dock.
Buoy'd up by youthful notions,
My roving fancy dat'd, to mock
The storms of raging.oceans, .
Thus braving fear, my mind became
Well sheath'd with Emulation, #
Tight rigg'd aboard the good Ship
Fame,,;
I took an early flation,
Nor dreamt,when.thus I went to Sea,
That after hard endurings,
It so would hap' that Tom Should be
Laid up in Greenwich Moorings.
From boy to man, from clime to clime,
In quellof Glory roaming, #
I wea her'd oft and many a time.
Rough gales and billows foaming,
Where light'nings flafh&thunders jar,
Where fever'd Teas are rolling,
Whee mermaids smile in liquid car,
'Midft dread tornadoes howling ;
Still Hawser's heart was rigg'd
with glee,
Tn spite of all endurings,
Nor harbour'd e'er a thought that he
Should lie in Greenwich Moorings.

Whate'er learnt by sweat of brow,
Was fqander'd soon in fol!v,
Nor one refleaion did bestow,
Except on lovely Molly :
But tho'Love's compaf^ftill my heart
To Molly's charms direded,
I ne'er from duty did depart,
Nor Britain's fame neglefted ;
When bit grew scant I went to sea,
And left her fond aTurings,
Northo't m, batter'd hull Should be
Laid up in Greenwich Moorings.
I made my charming girl a vow,
That barring all mifearriage,
' I'd take her, when return'd, in tow,
To plow the Seas of Marriage ;
But fad reverse ! poor Tom no more
To faithtefs Polly enticing,
My starboard limb was Shiver'd fore
Beyond the Skill of splicing ;
I found the fair one's clouded brow
Obfeur'd her late allurings,
, Begone," The cried, " your fitteft
now
" To lie in Greenwich Moorings,"
v.
So to our gracious King I'll drink,
And success to all his Navy,
O may fell fa&ion quickly fink,
Deep grappled by.Old Davy ;
. And here's to every gallant tar;
Brave soldier, and fair trader,
In peace if Britain's kind in war
They'll check each bold invader.
With two limbs lefi thanGoDmafe me
I smile at vast endurings,
And booze my can of grog with glee,
Laid up in Greenwich Moorings.

A NEW SEA-SONG,

- He was now in the bigb
road to the King'sßench Pri
son ; and to add to the com
forts of fueb a proffer, bis
wife conflantly entertained
bim by a succession of what are
called curtain lectures. At
last Mr. Miller beard of a
book extant in the French
language, of which be was
assured that a translation
would pay all charges. The
fubjea was the trial of a
French Priest,, for debauch
ing federal young girls, who/e
education bad been committed
to bis care., „ ;
Mr. Miller paid some of
the fraternity of book-makers
twenty guineas for a tranjid
tion, and set to work. When
Mrs. Miller underflood that
her bufband was engaged in
a new publication, and that
said the publication was full
of the rankest bawdy, ber
prudence and ber piety were
equally alarmed. "We are
almost ruined already," Jaid
foe, " and we are next to be
di/grafed ; no man of the least
fenfir or charafter would per
mit fueb trumpery tb lye in
bis fhop'lHer bufband how
ever, who was less scrupulous,
went on with bis business &
before the end of the month
three entire editions were
disposed of.-
At that time it was usual
for Mr. Miller and bis wife
to enjoy a beverege of small
beer after dinner. One da,
when tbeir usual potation bad
been placed upon the table,
Mr. Miller, who bad been
Arial, silent with re(peo to
bis success, pulled out a large
green purse, containing 700
guineas. "Is that all our
own ?" Jaid Mrs Miller —
" Certainly," answered ber
bufband, "& 1 tbink we
may now exchange our beer
for porter." —"But where
did you get all this money ?"
—"For that bawd, book that
you^were foangry at my prin
ting." "1 wife to God, m,
dear," cried Mrs Miller,
"that we bad twenty such
books !";

American troops a number of
white women who bad atten

when the retreat was ordered
one of those women basing a
child in ber arms, and being
bard pursued by an Indian
with a tomahawk, who fee
found must inevitably overtake
ber in a few minutes iftfbe
did not leave the child, the
desire of felf-prefervation 0-
vercame the parental feelings
of nature, and, flopping fort
for a moment, Jhe placed the
infant {being about a year,
old) on a jiump, and imme

and in the attempt to kill an
officer, who made a fland to

dead on the spot. —The wo
man escaped with the troops,
but 'there is every reason to
suppose that the child was to

of a twelve month old, to tbeir
