TIIE HUNTED STAG—A SKETCH.
What sounds urn on the mountain blast ?
Like bullet fiftm the urbnhist,
Was it tho huiiled quarry past
Right up Uen-lodt’s sitln ?
So near, so rapily he dashed,
Yon licheucd bough has scarcely plashfid
Into tho torrent’s tide.
Ay !—tho good hound tuny buy beneath,
The burner wind his horn ;
He dared ye through theflooded.Tcilh,
As n warrior in his scorn !
Dash the red rowel in the steed, .
Spur, lapgards, while yo may!
St. Hubert’s ahull to a tripling a reed,
11c dies no death tu-day ?
“ Forward !”—Nay, wastc'not idle breath,
Gallants, ye win no green-wood wreath;
His antlers dance above the heath,*
Like Chieftain’s plumed helm ;
Right onward for the western peak,
Whore breaks the skv in one white streak,
Sec, Isabel, in bold relief,
To Fancy’s eyo, Gkimrmey’s chie£
Guarding his duuient realm.
So motionless, so noiseless there,
ljis foot on earth, his head in air,
Like sculptor’s breathing stone,
Then, snorting Iron* tho rapid race,
5nuH*s tho free ak a moment’s space
Glares grimly* m the battled chase,
And sceks’fthc covert lone.

HOW TO MAKE A PAPER.
[From Sharpe’sJLondon Magazlno.]
Scewe—The Sanctum at tho Establishment.
The Editor sitting with his hands in his
breeches pockets, leuuing back in his
chair, nnd looking very earnestly at
the ceiling. Iu about ten minutes ho gets
up and walks to the window, breathes hard
upon the glues, ami nourishes a capital R.
with his finger in|thu wet he has made.—
Looks nt his watch, & rings thoj Prlntu’d
boll. Enter Printer.
Editor.—Mow touch matter have yon got,
Mr. Pica ?
Mr. P—(After a pause,)—Not more than
two columns. t3ir.
Editor—The devil! — How many ads* can
you muster to-day ?
Mr, P.—Three columus aud a half, sir,
including quacks; but I must use 4 * When
men of education and professional skill,” and
tho “ Real blessing to mothers.”
Editor—Have you no staudmg matter
Mr. Pi—Not a line, Sir. I used the hist
of tho standing matter yesterday, tho accouut
of tho American Sen Serpent, which was
left out. lull two months ngo, to.tnake room
for the Fire in Fleet street.
Editor —(Musing.)—Very well: I’ll touch
your bell as soon us 1 havo any. copy ready.
Mr. P.—1 he men are all standing still,
sir, just now. If you have any matter which
you intend to use a week hence, they may as
well be going on with it.
Editor.—(itumoges among his papers.)—
Hore—tnlfo this 44 Romaulic Suicide.” It
will do for any day when )ou want a half a
column for the back page.
[Exit Mr. Pica, and in a minute afier
enter Reading Roy, iu a hurry.
Boy.—Copy—if you please, sir.
Editor.—1 have just given Mr. P. half a
column.
Boy.—Oh—I beg your pardon, Sir—I did
not sea Mr. Pica—1 came from down stairs.
[Exit.
Editor.—(Puts iu6 hands into his breeches
pockets again, aud begins to whistle a tune.)
This will not do—1 must write something—
but what is it to be about, 1 know no more
than the monument. (Nibs his pen—settles
his inkstand—and gets his paper ready.)—
The Parliament is up—tho Law Courts have
adjournetf for the long vacation—the Opera
House & thejwiotcr theatres havcclosed-J* at
the Iinymarket U English Opera Mouse they
have both brought out pieces which aro hav
ing a run—nothing stirring—not even a case
of decent oppression in a night constable—
or of tyranny in a police magistrate. Whigs
and Tories have shaken hands, and political
delinquencies are too common to bo either
uew or scandalous. Tho editor of a daily
paper muy bo npily compared to a galley
slave. When the winds roar, and the tem-
pest is abroad, and the waves swell, his bark
inovc9 along swiftly ; but when the calm
comes, and the sky is serene, aud the breeze
is hushed, and the sea is smooth, it is then
he must ply tho oar, and tug, and pull, and
toil to give the vessel motion. (Takes his
pen and writes furiously.) That will do for
one of thoso short leaderttt about nothing—
which look very much as if they alluded to
something that could not be mentioned.—
(Reads.)
‘‘There ere certain rumours afioat—upon
a delicate subject which lias lately occasion
ed a great sensation in particular quarters
We are in possession of facts connected with
this extraotdinary affair, which we may per
haps feel ourselves at’liberty to montion in a
few days. Meanwhile, all we can say at
present is, that disclosures must take place,
however painful they may be to more than
one distinguished individual. We shall only
odd, that the Duke of Wellington left town
yesterday in his travelling chariot with four
horses for Windsor, after a private interview
of nearly three hours with an illuslri/jus per
sonage; and that it iu reported his Grace
ordered summonses to be issued for a cabinet
council this day, before his departure from
London. Wc shall not lose sight of this
business.” (Rings the printer’s bell—Mr.
Pica enters.) Make this the first loader,
and you may as well pot it in double leads.]!
Mr. P.—Very well, 6tr. There’s a long
police case just come in, of a baronet’s daugh
ter taken up for shop-lifting; and an account
of the bursting of a gasometer which killed
eleven men, three boys, and an old woman,
who lived io a front garret over the way.
Editor.—Use them both; thoi shop-lifting
under the head “ Mysterious Charge of Theft 11
& theuccidcnt to the gasometer under th&t of
“Tremendous Explosionl Fifteen Lives lost /”
Mr. P.—We shall do better with the ads
than I expected. Robins has just sent a loDg
list of his auctions, which he says must go
in to-day ; and Murray’s clerk has left eight
or ten good bookbo I shall* be able to
make out a full page without using tho
quacks.J

$ It is necessary to remark here, by way of
explanation, that there are gradations of rank
and respectability in advertisements; and that
a high aristocrntical feeling pervades their
location in a well regulated paper. Tho
quack ads, alluded to by Mr. Pica, are thoso
benevolent a Hairs of aid to tho afflicted,
which announce that “rheumatism and lutn-
bugo are effectually relieved by a new pro
cess ;” that “the most excruciating loolhncbo
is allayed in one minute by an unrivalled ano-
dyno cementthat “gout is cured without
mudicihe in a low hours,” and “blotched
faces in no time at all,” that “red whiskers
are changed in a single night to beautiful
shades of brown or blaok ;” that “the healthy
functions of the stomach and intostinnl canal
are restored by an improved domestic instru
ment, &c. &c> &c.” Thrso are never al
lowed to show their faces in the gemteel com
pany of tho other advertisements, unless there
happens to be a lock of gentility, but herd
together in what is technically called tho
“back page” of the paper.
One of the Boston paprs appreciates tho
music of tho famed Italian Opera, as follows :
44 Our citizens were gratified—wo pre
sume—on Friday evening by un exhibition
of tho real Simon Pure, Italian Opera. Al
though nt tho risk of losing all reputation fur
taste ond vertu, we candidly confess that a
tuntivy us long as n lightning rod, accompan
ied by a whirlwind of 4 * sound and fury” is
to our nnpoiibhod ear, not half eo harmoni
ous as Yankee Doodle from a brass jewbliarp*
We derived much nmusemcnl however, from
beholding the thawcks bcutowod by ono of
the Sonora upon his own breadbasket, ah
though wo caught ourself smiling lustily,
when by the lugubrious phiz of a travelled
friend, wo should have “ laughed ’tother
side of our mouth,” or, in other words, sniv
elled.”

As a specimen of “Canadian justice,” Col
lins, of tho Frccmon, says—
44 JnmosFitZjribbon, the magistrate, found
guilty of tho violent broach of the peace, waa
fined one shilling nnd dismissed. Tiio editor
of the Freeman, found guilty of only using
the words “native malignancy” in roferrence
to the Attorney General, Jest they might
lead to n breach of tho pence, was commit ted
to jail for one year, fined one thousand shil
lings, nnd bound down to keep tho peace fur
throo )care, in twenty four hundred dollars!
Tho country that can bear this administra
tion of justice, will hear any thing.”
Tho Richmond Compiler contains a notice
of nn Excavator, or Self-loading Cart, in
vented by Mr. \V. Beach of Philadelphia.—
It is descrt*od as loading itsclfin its progress
by means of ono of tho wheels, which is hol
low, taking up 40 square foot of earth in ono
minute. This is carried to any distance as
in a common cart; and tho load deposited or
unloaded in less than half a minute, without
trouble, by opening the bottom of tho cart.
Tho inventor stales that one of his carts is
now at work on the railroad within a mile
nnd a half of the Schuylkill river, near Phil
adelphia ; that it is worked hy a man and a
boy and three horses, and removes and em
banks in a day twice as much earth ns is re
moved by three common carts and twenty men,
who aro working at tho same place.
A Law Question.—We, a few days ogo,
witnessed something out of the common run
of events,which wo think worthy of being no
ticed A capt,which had for some days been
resting quietly, molesting nobody, and harm
less in its idlonnsa, in tho roar of a store ia
Hanover street was run way with by a horse,
who had no more right and title to it than we
have. The chain was dangling from the
shaft of the carl, and also one from tho gear
off a largo wagon horse who was quietly mas
ticating his rations. It appears that the hor
se’s chain came in contact with that of the
cart, and fastened ; which induced the for
mer,from fright,or a lovo of nmcbieikto go off,
not gently, or slowly, but with unbecoming
speed; whereby tbo ill-fated cart was uncere
moniously dragged after the animal and was
shockingly disjointed. Now tho question if,
who pays for tbo damage done to tho cart,
($5.50) ? Or, is tbo horse indictable for fe
lony ?—or, was it a breach oft rust—or wan
tonly destroying of private property ?
