The celebrated Printer, Henri Et-

the learned world by the name of Ste
phanus, once engaged in the printing
of a splendid quartz Missal. Thegreat
number of subscribers seemed likely to
make ample compensation for the hes-
Wy expense required by the underta
king After the sheets had been cor.
rected with the utmost care, the work
was printed off, splendidly bound, and
delivered to the subscribers. 1t would
be impossible to describe the astonish-
ment of the Learned printer, when one
copy after another was returned tohim,
till ell we're sent back. He enquired
the reason ofthis extraordinary circum-
stance, and was informed, that in one
place the ccmpositor had put lei Ie

TuEATRICAL ANECDOTE.

On the first night of Cooper's per-
Torrance on the Cincinnati boards,
CIRCUMSTANCE happened which should
not be lost to the world:
"Othello" was the play. The fame
of the great tragedian had drawn
crowded audience, composed of every
description Of persons--and among the
rest a country lass of sixteen. whom,
(not knowing her real name, 1--WE will
call Peggy. Peggy had never before
seen the inside OF playhouse. She
entered at the time OtDelio was ma
king his defence before the Duke and
Senate of Venice: the audience were
unusually attentive to the play. and
Peggy was permitted to walk in the
lobby until she arrived at the door OF
the stage box, when 8 gentleman ham
ded her in, without withdrawing his
eyes from, the distinguished performer,
and her beau, country boy, was COM
PEELED to remain in the lobby. Miss
Peggy stared about moment as il
doubling whether she was in the pro-
per place, till casting her eyes on the
stage, she observed several chairs I'M
occupied it is probable, this circum-
stance alone would not have induced
her to take the step she did--but she
observed the people on the stage ap-
peared more at their ease than those a.
mong whom she was standing, and with
al much more sociable-and as fate
would have it, just at that moment, O.
thello looking nearly towards the place
where she was situated, exclaimed
"Here comes the lolyp
The Senators half rose, in oxpecta.
ton Of seeing the g gentle Desdemona,"
and Othello advanced two steps to meet
her-when 10! the maiden from the
country stepped from the box plump on
to the stage, and advanced towards the
expecting Moor! 1t is impossible TO
give any idea of the confusion that fol-
lowed-the audience clapped and cheer
ed-the Duke and Senators forgot their
dignity--the girl was ready to sink with
consternation--even Cooper himself
could not help joining In the general
mirth the uproar lasted for several
minutes, until the gentleman who had
handed her into the box, helped the
blushing girl out of her unpleasant Sit
uation.
1t was agreed on all hands that Ia
dy never made her debut on the stage
with more eclat than Miss Peggy.

! Mode of training the ARABIAN HORSE.
FTus NJ Chateqn6risnd's Travels m Greece.
| This interesting traveller thus ac-
counts for tie hsrdihood displayed by
the Arabian horses.--They aie never
put under shelter, bat left exposed to
the most intense heat of the sun,
tied by all four legs to stakes driven in
the ground, so that they cannot stir.
| The saddle is never taken from their
backs; they frequently drink bat once,
and have only one feed of barley i'll
twenty-four hours. This rigid treat.
ment, SO far from wearing them out,
gives them sobriety and speed. have
often admired an Arabian steed thus
tied down to the burning sands, his
hair loosely flowing. hishead bowed be
tween his legs to find a little shade;
and stealing with his wild eye an OBJ
lique glance of his master. Release
his legs from the shsckles, spring up.
on his back, and he will paw in the VAL
ley, he will rejoice in his strength, he
will swallow the ground in the fierce-
mesa of his rage and you recognize
the original of the picture delineated
by J2b. Eighty or one hundred pias~
tres are given for an ordinary horse,
which is in general less valued than an
ass or mule; but horse of we'll known
Arabian breed will bring any price.
Abdallah, Pacha of Damascus, had just
given 5000 piastres for one. The his
tory of q horse is frequently the topic
of general conversation. When | was
at Jerusalem, the feats of one of these
steeds made great noise. The Be.
douin, to whom the animal, mare, be.
longed, being pursued by the Cover
nor's Guards, rushed with her from the
top of the hills that overlooked Jericho.
The mare scoured.at full gallop down
nalmest perpendicular declivity with
out stumbling, and left the soldiers lost
in admiration and astonishment. The
poor creature however dropped down
dead on entering Jericho, and the Be-
douin who would not quit her, was ta-
ken, weeping over the body of his COM
panion. This mare has brother in
the desert, who is SO famous. that the
Arabs always know where he has been,
where he Is, what he was doing, and
what he does. Ali Aga religiously
showed me an the mountains, near Je-
richo, the footsteps of the mare that
died in the attempt to save her master.
