GTEPHEN DECATUR'S name and glory
~ are so perfectlyidentified with that ofthe
American Navy, that we cannot reflect upon
the renown ofthe latter, without blending with
it the gallant achievements of the former. He
was an early and iavorte pupil Of the immor-
talized PREBLE, who may as ernphatically be-
called the Precettor of the American Navy, as
the venerable John Adams has been pro-
nounced its Father.
Whether we consider Decatur as youhts
full champion, boarding a Coraair and staying
its commander, who had treacherously slain his
brothcr--as an intrepid Officer destroying an
eneny's frigate under the guns of fortress
deemed ythc Turks impregnable---as COM
inander undapntediy meeting and capturing
the floating buwark of Britain-as the Com
modore OF squadron. conquering Earbary
power, and compelling it to sue for peace-or
as an accomplished officer at the seat of Gov
ernment, assisting in giving perfection and
power to the Navy of our Requisite. In each
OF these capacities, his character equally ex-
cites cur admiration. The object Of ilis work
is to enable the reader to trace the progress CT
this hero, the pride and boast of our country.
from the first dawnings of his greatness, to the
meridian splendour OF his glory. Tie matae
rails from which the work will be prepared
are as unquestionable Authenticity; and the
volume will not be swelled with matter uncon.
nected with the life, character, and achievess
ments of DECATUR, and the origin, pro-
gross and present state ofthe American Navy.

ON DlSCONTENT.


ON DIsCoNTENT.
All why is the mind so addicted to ponder,
On life's gloomy scenes, and its pleasures
forget'
And why is the fancy so oft prone to wander
o'erth hills of despair, and the Wales ofre-
gret'
For each hour of our lives has with mercy been
blended,
And Joys brilliant sui oft illumines our
ways;
Though the pleasures we sigh for may long be
suspended,
Yet why should the heart be to sorrow. a
prey'
;fis infinite goodness presides DER our being,
And wisdom eternal our fortune drects
Its ends are all known to the eye that's all see
ing,
Whose power, unbounded, from danger
protects.
Sure our hearts should be filed with kinder
emotion,
With gratitude pure for the blessings we
share;
Discomfort should be banished by feryent de-
voton,
And the voice of repining be sllcnc'd by
prayer.
And what are these joys which our fancy has
painted,
With rapture so glowing, in colors SO bright!
Are they not with the breath of Immortality
tainted'
And though in possession, win soon take
their fight.
Though the blessings offriendship our sorrows
may tighten,
And riches and honors our pathway adorn,
Yet SO airy the chariot, those joys take their
fightin,
They are far from our reach, ere we know
they are gone.
y the pleasures of earth are so fragile and
feeting, tl..
Why should we with ardor those phantoms
pursued
Though from our approach they are ever re-
treating
Still hopes lucid visions our efforts renew.
Oh! when shall we learn that this state of pro-
baton,
Was never designation the home of our joy,
That our souls should aspire to that high exal-
tation,
ofpermanent happiness free from alloy

NJ G. having assidiously devoted nearly two

collecting them together in more permanent

their attention to the subject, the result of his
labors, and thus save them from the irksome
