Mr NATIVE GLEN; •
I know thee not, my native glen,
Where playful childhood was my list,
Ere yet I knew the ways of men:
" My native glen," I know tbee not
Thy banks are green, thy woods are Oil
And all is fragrance here I wot ;
But, sh ! the charm has passed away :
" My native glen," I know thee not!
Improvement, like a fairy Queen,
With wizard rod, has cbang'd the spot;
And turnpikes sweep, where heaths have been:
" My native glen,' I know thee not'.
And now 'tis thought protracted, deep,
To mark that ruin'd, roofless cot,
Where recollection loves to weep :
" My native glen," I know thee not!
Btit oh! that sky which courts my view;
And oh ! that cloud which skirts the hill;
not Ifeavin, at least, is all I knew :
'• 51y native glen," I know thee still!
What time could do, has here been done, .
And man has lent his aiding will;
Nor,time, nor matt, can quench that 81W
" My native glen" I kuaw thee stun'
I know thee by that whisiring btrese;
I knew th:e by that bubbling au ;.
Thy spirit wakes amidst the Meal
" ,Iy native glen," I know thee still!

Our last account left Hawkins the pedestrian three miles from
Chapel-house, 76 miles, at eight tecinek en Saturday night, fits
brat day's journey. He Me a hearty light supper, went to bed,
and started again at twelve o'clock. He performed twenty-de
miles in five hours again, as on the first day, without stopping,
a abort distance from Henley in Arden. He continued at the
rate of five miles an hour to three miles past liiradngliatrt (20
other miles), when he halted an hour, and took refreshment and
rest. Our information leaves him, at three echiek on Sunday
etvanonn, travelling two miles on the other side of li'olver-
hempton. lie proposed reaching 152 miles on Sunday, and go
to 24ontford Bridge yesterday motniog to breakfast.

3Lurroat.— A few dais since, a Sheriff's oidieibt at'
Dartmouth devoured 82 raw eggs in thirteen Minutei
and a halt, for a wager of two glasies Or gin, which
he gained, with a minute and a half to spare.
Tau Birlot Bcr.a-4 fevi days sinte a pertbft re+
riding a short distante from Bristol, had occasieti to
employ a labourer in his garden, who uticiertook to
execute the job at a very low price, and which proved
wholly inadequate to the work: The poet Man made
an application for some drink, and the Lady of the
tiorise, in the absence of her husband, compassiOnaxing
him; vet y freely gave him cider When this came to
the ears of the worthy individual who had hired hint,
he actually deducted the fake of the cider'from the
amount of the labonrer's stbill pittance. When this
was done, the poor fellow turned the tables upon his
heartless employer, laying an information against
hitit for soiling eider without a license, and he was ac-
cordingly flood lh the full penalties.
A 'few days ago, at Tan y inn, near Llanrvist, a wild
cat was taught in a trap, measuring three feet seven
bullies in lerigth,and fourteen inches high.
.Thurelay evening, the 12th instant, 23 flt sheep,
belonging to Mr. H. Cal."iam, butcher, of Ipswich,
were worried to death by a dog, in a field near
Stekehalle—So great was the terror excited through-
otit the %ode by this theterttal depredator, that some
of the sheep took to the water, and crossed the river
near Stoke Bridge.
• In travelling northwards, last week, the Marquis
of Hotri.v took post horses from the Islew Inn,
Aberdeen, one of which, from the heat of the wea-
ther, dropped down near the end of his journey and
expired. With that generosity which is a charac-
teristic feature in his Lordship's disposition,: he sea
lected a very fine mare from his own stud at Rattily
Lodge, and sent to Mr. AWDZASON as a remunera-
tion foe his loss.
