from the Naval Chronicle.
Nauscopy is the art of discovering the ap-
preach of ships, in the neghbourhood of lands,
at a considerable distance.
This knowledges not derived either from the
unduation of waves, or from the subtility OF
sight; bat merely from observation of the ho-
rizen, which discovers signs indicating the
proximity of large objects. At the approxima-
ton ola ship towards the land, or towards ano-
,her ship, there appears in the atmosphere a
meteor of particular nature, which, with a
little attention, is visible to any person.

FLY not yet, 'tisjust the hour
When Pleasure, like true midnight fow'r,
That scorns the eye ofvulgar light,
Begins to bloom for sons of night,
And Maids who love the Moon!
Twas but to bless these Eours OF shade,
That Beauty and the Neon were made;
'Tis then their soft attractions glowing,
Set the tides and goblets flowing,
OIL stay-Oh! stay
Joy SO seldom weaves chain
Like this to night, that oh 'tis pain
To break its links SO soon.
Flysnot yet, the fount that play'd
In times of old through .dmmon'ss shades
Thought icy cold by day 1t ran,
Yet still like souls of mirth, began
To burn when night was near:
And thus should woman's hearts and looks
AT noon be cold as winter brooks,
Nor kndle, till the night returning
Brings their gcniul hour for turaing,
Oh, stay--Ch. stay,
When did morning ever break
And find such bearning eyes awake
As those that sparkle here.

BIZ hiss C. M. WARREN, Of Rhode Island.

Sweet are the still sequester'd groves,
Where musing melancholy roves
AT eve unseen;
Where musing melancholy rovcs
And heavenly contemplation loves
To haunt the green.
The lonely cot, the secret cell,
Where sober sadness loves to dwell,
Are dear to me:
Dear is the slow, mean dring brook,
And dear the shade Of yon broad oak,
My fayorite tree.
There eft as evenings dusky shade
Envelopes every silent glade,
pensive stray;
And while the last faint beams OF light,
Retreating, leave the world to night,
mark their way.
Dear solitude, thou placid queen,
Of sober brow and look serene,
Thy shades | love;
For heaven born genius marks the way,
And vhcle thy gentle footsteps stray,
The muses. rove.
Oh! guide me to thy b!est retreat,
The still sequester'd silent seat
Ofsaered peace;
Where not breath ofpassion rude,
Or blighting envy dare intrude,
To damp my bliss
The moss rose seeks the silent glade,
Spreads all her beauties TO the shade,
And blooms unknown;
So on thy bosom would rest,
Secure to be supremacy blest
With thee alone.
