Down on his golden path to rhetis bowers,)
That, in an antique room whose massy sides
Were oak, all overgrown with knots of flowers,
Broad leaves, and punches Of the swollen grape,
And many dream carved out in horid shapc,
A stately couple sate:--the dame wa, fair.
Though Time with silver hands had touch'd her
hair:
Her husband, bald enough for Casar's crown,
Wore, like some triumph past, his soldiers trown,
Wherewith he daunted once the mailed foe
Near them, (and as asnow-tlrop aye will blow
More beautiful in ice than summers shaded
All passion-pale, there safe down-eyed maid,
Their daughter, whose small fingers piled some

The dawn advances, yelled with roses,
Bring the morning draught Of blias;
The foseate sparkle morn dlscloSes,
Best reflects in cups like this.
On the tulips breasts are trembling
The dews-sweet tears of glowing day;
Those of beauty's cheek resembling
Love half regrets to kiss away
The gale, with perfiimed sigh, s stealing
From the gardens eden bowers,
oh quaff the wine--wherc Love, concealing,
Dews the heart with its pure showers.
Ruby its ripple bushes,
Rosc-lke is its bland perfume,
Near it, say, what cheek but ilushcs,
What lip but wears brighter bloom
An! why should rore-illumincd sages
To solitude such joys constran!

Cohanzy and Bombay Hook, by Capt. Jesse
Mode, and party of pleasure on board the
sloop Ann Eliza of Wilmington, Sea Serpent,
at the distance of hafa mile. After nearing it
to the distance of three hundred yards, some
conectured its length to be about sixty feet, and
breadth between the eyes about six feet, but be-
ing in coiled situation could not with correct
ness be ascertaned: being well provided with
guns and ammunition, and courageous crew, 1t
was unanimously agreed that we should bear
down on it, and make formidable attack. The
deck being cleared, every man was at his post
and ready for battle,--commenceda Il tremendous
fire which was kept up for several minutes
When we ceased, it was discovered that we had
literally torn it to pieces, and were making
preparations to take it on board, when lo TO our
great astonishment and notification, it proved
to be an old bed, divested Of its contents and al
most torn to pieces, which gave it very fright
iul appearance.

HAYMAKING.

Care should be taken to cut grass as close
and evenly as possible, because the bottom
is often interviewer with sort OF net work
of leaves and spires, which makes it much
more valuable than an equal length towards
the top of the growth. Besides, it is re-
marked that grass will not thrive we'll,
which is not mown close. 1t is very essen
tial to improve the fore part of the season,
for, says the Farmers Guide, sit has been
found by actual observations Tor number OF
years, that on an average more rain falls in
summer after the 18th and 90 tn of July than
before" The directions which are given in
English books on agriculture for haymaking
