uUM AN LIFE
BY JANE TAYLOR,

Eow swiftly pass our years
How soon their night comes on
A train Of hopes and fears,
And human life is gone
Zee, the fair Sumner now IS past;
he foliage last that clad the trees,
S ript by the equinoctial blast,
Falls like the dew.drops, on the breeze
Cold 1lntsr hastens on
Fair fatuie feels his grasp
Wecps over all her beauties gone,
And sighs their gores past
So, LIFE, thy Summer soon wilt end,
Time Autumn too will quick decay,
And Wiu;er come when ihou shalt bend
Within the tomb TO mould away
hut Summer will return,
In all her beauties drcss'd
And Nature shall rejoice again,
And be by man CAress'd
But, OH Lite's summer, passd away,
Can never, never hope return
Coid Winter comes, With cheeress ray
10 beam upon its 4 cary urn
Then may We daily seek
A mansion in the skies,
Where Summers never cease,
And glory never dies
There AN eternal SPHISG shall bloom
With Joys AS vast A, aabels powers
And three ten 'housaad harps i'll tune,
Shall prai e the love that made it ours.

SEA SERPENT

Capt Sergeant, Of the schr. Wanderer, of
Gloucester, who arrived a, this port yesterday,
informs us, that ON Tuesday last, about miles
from Newburyport bar, and from Plumb Isl
and shore, he and those with him had clear
and distinct view Of this aquatic monster-that
he appeared to be about 60 feet in length, lie
as much as could be seen--that his head was fla
like a shovel, Of a shining black color--that his
back was full Of large proluberances, such as
have repeatedly been represcnted--that he
seemed to take no notice Of his amazed and cri.
licising friends, .but was sporting in the bay,
probably participating RI the pleasures and JOY
Gus at the return Of our national jubilee-that
when his speed was rapid, he made noise 81
milar TO that of ships bow when dashiug
through the water, causing heavy foam around
him-lhat his eyeswcrc large and prominent, S
his movements altogether different from any
other inhabi,ant of the deep. Captain S. who
was within fifty or one hundred yards Of this
submarine traveller, and saw him plainly dur
ing half an hour, is man Of strict veracity and
uprigh;ness; has therefore disbeleyet! in the ex
istence Of the Sea Serpent-but is now read:
to give his certificate TO the many which have
been elected in favor OF his snakeship.
