FRQM the Bird Rock (the northern extremity of Crooked Island) to the north end of Long Island the course S is N. W. distance 25 leagues. Give this a good birth, i say one or two miles, on account of two reefs (easily di stinguished) which extend from the two points of the north end. From hence haul up-S. W. by S. This course will bring you on soundings, when you will see Hog Key and Little Exuma, on both of which are settlements. There are several rock? <?r small keys ranging with the coast; these may be kept close aboard. When you see the houses di stinctly hoist your colors, and a boat will be sent cut to bring the vessel to the anchorage at the pond. The pond is to the east of Pigeon Key, and Pigeon Key bears from the north end of Long Island due S. W. and by W. dist ant 9 leagues. Stocking Island, which forms the harbor j of Exuma, is distinguishable by a beacon on the highest e nf;nence, and this is about 5 or 6 miles to the westward of i the eastern entrance of the harbor. The east side of Long j, Island is a bold shore, and wholly free from reefs and sunken rocks, r If you go round the north end of Long Island towards evening it may frequently be advisable to come to an anchor, to avoid: the effefts of currents during the night, which may easily be done on very good ground, after doubling round the north end, any where under the lee of the land miles.along shore. In this case the eye must dire£l you, the water being perfeftly clear, and the bottom visible. y The following Courses and Distances are subjoined, as they may (it times be serviceable , and the Charts arc not to be defended on.

AS the Yankee Philosopher has favored the public with his observations on the foibles of our females,, their cha rafter would fall into disrepute, were no attempt made to defend it; for bis observations are so pointed that their feelings must be much hurt by them, though they are sen sible that they are without foundation, and we shall be i convinced, upon refleftion, that, whatever were his mo tives, his ad\ ice was not very acceptable or necessary. He must have the welfare of the ladies very much at heart to relate a circumstance so much against himself as the answers of a eertaiu person by monosyllables to his ques tions; he did not perhaps recolleft that her backwardness proceidqd, in all probability, mare from a dislike than from an inability to converse with him; and her joining her companions on a future occasion in the exercise of their tongues nukes the probability still greater. Neither does his observations on their education appear mote cor r ct than his former conclusion; if they have not received tnese advantages it is.very evident that, it 13 not their fault; why s.'buld they by blamed because their parents have not g;u :i thrill opportunities to improve themselves? whete they have had these advantages in their power it will be io"nd ttyav their mental improvements have been great, and we sav with truth that our city lias produced charaft ers that are ornaments to mankind, and, without being particular, it will be sufficient to notice the Asylum So ciety, and (Jit- characters who compose it; th .n which perhaps <r more philanthropic institution never was created. ’ AN OBSERVER.

A FISHING SONG. From Sir John Hawkins’s Edition of Waltont O! the gallant fisher’s life, It is the best cf any; ’Tis full of pleasure, void of strife, And ’tis beloved by many; Other joys Are but toys, Only this Lawful is, For our skill . Breeds no ill, But content and pleasure. In a morning up we rise, Ere Aurora’s peeping, t Drink a cup to wash our eyes, ■* Leave the sluggard sleeping; Then we go, To and fro, - With our knacks . , At our backs, • To such streams As the Thames, If we have the leisure. When we please to walk abroad, For our recreation, * In the fields is our abode, ? Full of -deleftation; Where in a brook, -* With a hook, * Or a lake, Fish we take, There we sit, ( ? For a bit, f Till we fish entangle. We have gentles in a horn, We have paste and worms too, We can watch both night and mofri. Suffer rain and storms too; None do here \ Use to swear; Oaths do fray Fish away; We sit still, And watch onr quill; > Fishers must not wrangle. If the sun’s excessive heat Make our bodies swelter, To an osier hedge we get For a friendly shelter, * Where in a dike Pearch or pike, Roach or dace, We do chase, Bleak or gudgeon, 1 Without grudging, We are still contented. Or we sometimes pass an hotlr 1 Under a green willow, 1 hat defends us from a shower, Making earth our pillow, WFere we may . * Think and pray, Before death 1 Stops our breath; Other joy Are but t oySf - And to bg lamented.
