HYMN.-By Mr.. +. Key.
II LIES pleasures cheer thee,
Give them not thy heart,
Lest the gifts ensnare thee
From thy God to part.
His praises speak,
His favor seek,
Fix there thy hopes foundation:
Love him, and he
Shall ever be,
The rock Of thy salvation.
If distress befall thee,
Painful tho il be,
Let not fear appal thee
10 thy Saviour fee;
He ever near,
Thy pray'r shall hear,
And calm thy pertul baton!
The waves OF woe
Can ne'er o'erAow,
The rock of thy salvation.
Death shall never harm thee,
Shrink not from his blow,
For thy God shall arm thee
And victory bestow;
Then death shall bring
To thee no sting,
The grave no desolation
Ills gain TO die
With Jesus nigh
The rock of thy salvation.

Harp Of Greece the mountain breeze,
AS its soft wing wildly strays, II
Sometimes on thy chords will seize.
And wake tirge of brighter days.
But it never thrills again
To the hand of magic power,
Waking Glory's manly strain
Worthy of Apolo's bower.
Mournful tree still bear that sign
Of our grandeur--of our fate,
Dropping while yon dark weeds Irvine,
With the trophies of the great.
Bear it till the Grecian spears
Fence against the mountains side,
And the sacred phaanx bears
Ruin to the Tyrant's pride.
Then the Bard who wakes the string
With the prophets awful fires,
Strains which Freemen love shall sing,
Strains which freedoms God inspires.
Then yon laurel branch that threw
Richness round the Delphic shrine,
Shall its brightest bloom renew
O'er an altar more divine.
Clustering round the emblem bright
Of the Christians holier faith,
Heaven shall battle in dewy light
Freedoms consecrated wreath.

case Of BLACK Us. BLUE.
The eyes that glow with sparkling Jet,
And those that swim in orbs Of blue,
Black versus Azure, strove to get
The prize to beauty's empire due.
The courts below were moved, but failed
To solve case of such impression;
Fen pleaders melted at the tale,
Twas told with such soft expression.
Conflicting claims inAame dispute,
Black was too bold and blue too stupid;
At length this most important suit
Came on before the Justice Cupid.
And never was case before
Perplexed with such intense confusion,
And never had the dark robed corps
Before been feed with such profusion.
The witnesses were-Burning Kisses;
The advocates-V oIuptuous SIghs;
The proofs Unutterabe Blisses;
And the Observation-Disclosures.
Forbear 10 both the prize is due
Twas thus the God decreed, lorbear
Woman is fair with eyes of blue;
With eyes Of black, she still is fair.
Black more yiyacity impart;
In blue more tenderness we find;
Black indicates 6nesse and art,
And blue the genteness of mind.
Black is too subject to caprice
Wo 10 the gazer's heart! but blue
Is free from guile and arti6cc,
Is tender, delicate aud true.
In black I've placed my shafts Of fire,
But blue in liquid languor roll;
Black, sparkling black, transports inspire,
But blue enchants, dssoves the soul.

" Tx MANN
Oh! 60 not my love on the sea,
For ire pirate and murderer is there;
In ambush he fingers for thee,
Like a ravenous beast in his lair.
It's noble TO perish 10 war,
To fall, by the hand Of the brave,
When the cannon proclaimelh afar,
That the warrior descends 10 his grave.
But to tall by cowardly hand,
BY heartless assassins be slain
Oh stay my dear love, on the land,
Nor trust TO the treacherous main.
For justice abides on the land.
Her temples are not on the sea,
Which cleanses the murderer's hand,
And buries the murderer's prey.
REPLY.
Oh dread not the plunderers more,
Nor feel any terror for me,
Their crimes and their triumphs are DER,
And they are efTaced from the sea.
And say not that justice abides
In the city or country alone,
Since she with OUR NAVY resides,
And its stars and its stripes arc her own.
Sec the vessels, and banners of blood,
Their decks are the robbers no more;
The wretches abandon the flood,
The pirate seeks refuge on shore.
And behold in her glory and pride,
That bark with her streamers unIurFd
That The world in her turn had dehed,
And now wins for the civilized world.
