Ts winter-hut the soft blue sky,
Ud silvery rack that floated by,
Wore summer's mildness :-and a gale,
That scarcely fiU'd her snowy sad,
Wafted the ship in white-wing d pr.de,
Like joyous swan on lakelet tide.
A playful infant o'er her lee,
Tharra'd with the blue and sparkling sea,
Whose living surface rose and fell,
Ger.lly as love's own bosom swell ;
Now archly bent his lisi'ning ear
The rippling of its waves to hear ;
Now wistful pointed to the snow
ThitwreathM around the onward prow,
And now had leapt, in Us delight,
To seize the flood that looked so blight ;
But sweet maternal love stood by,
With fond andevrr watchful eye ;
And check'd with smile of mimic glee,
-The wish of reckless infancy. .
There too, the manly father stood,
Like regent of the subject flood :
And, thrilling with the placid scene
Of ocean calm and sky serene, r
Exulting felt his bounding bark,
Plough homeward thro' the billows dark :
And as he gazed upon the pair,
Whose lives were all his ocean care ;
The wife, whose smile alone was bliss ;
The infant, whose soft artless kiss,
A proof of love so pure and true,
Was balm for all the ills he knew; ,
His ardent fancy soar'd away
Where all their anxious wishes lay :
Iraagin'd every peril past,
Sweet home itself regnin'd at last.
Quick, bright the gushing teardrop fell,
At thought of scene belov'd so well.
His Mary saw these feelings rise,
In glistening rapture to his eyes ;
And, with a kindred thrill of joy,
In silent bliss hung o'er her boy.
" Yes, Mary ! soon the voyage o'er,
Our feet shall press der Albion's shore :
And oli! how sweet repose will be,
When past the turmoil of the sea !
How pleasant at the social board.
With friends and all their smiles restored,
To dwell upon our trials past,
And tell the horrors of the blast :
To paint the ship, when wild winds urge
Her groaning timbers through the surge ;
Or when, high pois'd on mountain wave,
ne trembles o'er a watery grave.
These scenes, to you so fearful now,
These scenes to memory will glow
quisite as the summer bow,
tinted indeed upon the storm,
frrtcloth'd in sun-beam's fairest form.

NEWBERN, N.
They gazed as ravish'd by a spell,
I
And heartfull neither spoke :
That melting pause the hideous yell
Of savage mut'riy broke.
Like thunderpeal from sudden cloud,
Burst the wild death cry, fierce, and loud ;
4 Seize ! seize them Pis the boatswain's cry,
Purdy, and Wife, and Child must die.
To boat ! to boat ! perchance 'twillsave,
A few hours u respite from the grave !"
Twa$ vain t' oppose the fiendish' crew,
Sire, iVife, and Child, perforce they threw
Into the toppling boat ; nor prayers
Of his, nor shrieks of hers,
Nor even childhood's artless tears,
Could move the ruthless mutineers.
" Away I away !" the vessel's gone,
The wanderers on the deep alone.
Where were thy thunders gracious heaven!
That burst not the avengirig levin ?
Why (lid not instant lightnings leap,
To whelm the monsters in the deep ?
Twa, that accumulated wrath
Might gather o'er the pirates' path, -And
break where myriads should see,
And taemble at their destiny.
And now, how look'd their victim group! ;
At once bereft of ev'ry hope,
And tbssing, hairhung on the ocean,
Sport of evry billow's motion ?
Astonishment and mute despair,
Reign'd for an awful moment there.
The infant first, wept loud to see
His mothers speechless agony ;
And round her neck his arms he flungj
And closer to her bosom clung ;
And shrinking from the chilly spray,
Iraplor'd her keep the waves away.
And she with all a'mother's wile,
Strove to forget her fate and smile,
And fore'd afeeble gleam of joy,
To cheer her little shivering boy.
The father struggled too to wear
The look of hope, in his despair;
And tried to sooth his Mary's grief,
t - ,
With treach'rous promise of relief :
; ArMJjtrien he rose, and stretch'd his gaze,
For object his own hopes to raise.
Far as his eye could wing its glance,
Across the boundless drear expanse ;
He saw one lessening sail alone,
That sail so recently his own,
It mocks his aching sight 'tis gone !
One stifled groan of deep distress,
His manly frame could not suppress :
On Mary's tingling ear it fell,
; The fatal omen of her knell ;
And broke from her the long wild shriek,
That tells the ansuish'd heart must break.
Now gathering night shut out the day,
And gloomier made their. trackless way;
But Mary's frantic shriek no more, .
Was heard amid the breaker's roar :
Madness had eased her burning brain,
(And, laughing at the raging main,
She clasp'd her babe, and thus beguil'd
His sighs to rest, in breathings wild.

SCIENCE. LITERATURE AND THE ARTS.
From the National Advocate.
The Hippopotamifs.-Tke Courier Fran-
cais contains the following interesting
notices:
Lalande, a distinguished naturalist seint
by the trench government to Africa,
has returned in the Panther, lately arriv
ed at Bordeaux! & has broughr withhim,
among other objects of value a hippopo
tamus of the largest size, an adult rhin
oceros bicornis, and three whales of J 5
36 and 18 feet in length. He himsel
obtained the hippopotamus and the rhin
oceros; the whales were stranded on
the shore, i If was he also that prepared
i ..- 1
the skeletons and skins of these smon
sters. Of these achievements, which all
I i it i 1 .1 i
do equal honor to the courage, address,
and activity of the intrepid naturalist, the
most important Jaequisitioiv to science is
that of the hippopotamus. We had no
whole skeleton of this animal, and a scale
of comparison was wanting by which; to
judge of its fosail remains, such as they
are found in France. After waiting Jsix
months in the Savannas, Mr. Lalande1 at
last met with the monster, 6 feet high,
and 12 feet long. His walk, made a
noise similar to four washerwomen (al
ternately beating linen against slones.
But no language can express the frightful
tumult of his i direct and rapid course
when mortally wounded ; be endeavored
precipitately to gain the water overturning
every thing in his way; his eyes swim

throat was agitated with convulsive mo
tions : he gnashed his grinders arid vomi

blood started froni his nostrils. rls bel
lowing and roaring rolled in the woods
like thunder, Jand the ground trembled
under his feet. A second shot, fired
close at his ear, stretched him lifeless.

Lalandejwas obliged to cut it to
pieces
on the spot, and to construct hasti
round it a ram Dart of leeds and
bam-
boos, to protect it fiomwild beast.
Great strength xf mind was certainly j re
quisite to preserve a necessary sang fjoid
at sight of this animal; but much grea
ter must have been the firmness and ;im
passiveness of Lalande to have dissected
such a mass of flesh with all cart and
precision necessary to the operation, un
der the burning sun, and ; in so tojrrid a
climate that putrefaction in twenty-four
hours occurs in all its most hideous and
disgusting stages. ' j, !

from the quay de la Feraille and rue' de

ordered a the nighboring tailor's; these

pose a refuse kind of cloth called in IraUe
les brulies. However, that be, the gropin,
in the joy; of such a day, did not exam

should have done, and proudly strutted

GREAT HUNTING AND SHARP SHOOTINOV.
i Few Examples of successful hunting
can be fpund that will bear comparison,
under similar circumstances with the! fol
lowing. ! The hunting was done from a
single camp, and on ground .contiguous
to an old settled'.: country. The hunters
suffered great inconvenience from crow
ding upon each other, and, had they not
possessed skill of the highest order, and
been animated by the most enthusiastic
zeal, their success must have been very
limited. ' ' . i .
Abcut ;the middle of November last, a
select company, consisting of Mr. Elijah
Sexton, jr. capt. N. Hodskin, Mr. H.
Parker, bf Chenango county, and Lieur.
T. Simons, of Chataque county,' encamp
ed in the woods, about 12 miles east fraiu
Lowville, for the purpose of hunting ;
they were joined early in December by
Mr. E. Gi Potter, and occasionally visi
ted by Dr. S. Guthrie, (who however,
hunted but little) both of Jefferson coun
ty. The ' company left the woods tin;
last of December, having killed 190 deer,
1 panther, 1 eagle, besides a large num
ber of other animals. The 5 first named
hunters, killed in eighteen days, 124 dier,
1 panther, 1 eagle, 1 fisher, 15 martin,
and shot one wolf through the body. o
The number of deer respectively kil
led by each of those five hunters wero
nearly equal. Mr. Sexton however, had
the greatest number, 'while Mr. Pott f
killed! greater number than- any oihi
else,' after he joined the party. Tlic
number, of deer, killed on each hunting
day was from six to thirteen. ;
For the precision of shooting in thi
excursion,, probably a parallel cannot b5 .
found. Their shots were almost invai ia
biy fatal Mr. Potter made 32 shots in
the whoTe, including 4 shots made at;
tleer upon the run, and killed 28.
1 The following example of the ardof
with which this little band devoted them-,
selves to the chase may not be uninter
esting. ' ,
! A Panther made his appearance near
camp about the last of November. ; Th
party had no dogs, but they determined
upon a chase. In a short time he wa
started, but after a rapid pursuit through
swamps jand windfalls for twelve hours,
it was found Impossible to bring bim to
battle apd he escaped.
The track of a Panther had been seen,
in the wilderness, east of Beaver river
lake, in! the September preceding, and
it was decided that this panther must be
hunted up, and brought into camp. On
an extreme cold morning in December,
MessrsSexton and Simons, with two
dogs, started for this object ; they trav
elled in a north-eastern direction about
14 miles, when they fortunately found a
track, but the panther bad been gone 4
or 5 days. They had made no prepara
tion to he out, and bad taken no nourish
mpnr with them : the snow was of con.
