Polish Wolf Shooting.

The following sketch, bya French

of a novel sport; and as much. con-

The Heart.

BIZ EDWARD }. PORTER.
Away with one Of gladness now
Boar hence the Tyres you bring,
You cannot Ger her saddencd brow
One CLEAN of sunshine fling;
One echo Of your sweetest lay
To being may moi start,
For music hath no power to sway,
The widows lonely heart.
Oh! mock not such wild grief as hers,
Bear back the minstrel tone,
That only pleasures worshippers
In revel's hour might own:
Bear hence the Tyre, for vain are all
The sweets IFS strings impart,
No spell hath music's soul TO thrall
The widows lonely heart.
In other spheres :hc tones awake
That once her spirit wooed-
Their ~murmurings Will not now forsakc
That bosom's Solitude
Then, echoes of your sweetest lay
To being may not staff,
Your music hath no power TO sway
The widows lonely heart.

Washington.--We find the follow
ing tribute 10 wi great patriot in an
English work recently published, en-
titled "reminiscences of a trip to the
United States:
"But we must leave the habitation
Of the living. and stand by the mar
row house of the dead. The tomb
Of Gen. Washington is situated some.
what behind the house in a clump of
trees surrounding a small grass plot.
The original sepulchre is completely
in a state of decay. having been rude
ly and unsubstantially built; so much
SO thai, some years since, a gardner
broke it open, and, from motives of
cuPldity, obtained possession of what
he thought was the head of the illus
trlous corpse, tut which turned out
to be only that of one of his family.
Probably from this cause the coffin
was shortly afterwards removed to
the present vault, which is built of
red brick, as plain and ungracefuI as
If the inmate were the most ordinary
and common place Of men. The
marble sarcophagues, presented by
the hard but r%everential hands Of a
Philadelphia mason, stands about a
foot from the floor, and there, only
separated from the gazer by a few
iron bars, lie the ashes of one of the
noblest chiefs of humanity. See!
there is a flower upon it, cast by low
ing hands upon the cold marble.
Who would smile at the enthusi-
asm Of the heart at such a time and
place, though | bent the knee in rev.
erence for the noblest of a race crea-
ted a little lower than the angels, for
the soldier who never drew his sword
but in the cause OF justice, for the ru.
Ter who welded the sceptre but to
save? What shall we not say of
such a man, of so noble an emanation
from the Almighty Father of all?
The husband, the friend, the soldier,
lhe dictator, the chief magistrate, and
the powerful citizen, did he not digni-
fy them all? The hand has ceased TO
write. and the heart 10 beat, and the
form that trod the council chamber
and the battlefield with the same
steady glance, and the same unwa-
step, is bu, dust and ashes; but
the lite that was concentrated in that
great heart vibrates, though but fee
bly,, i n that of a whole nation. and
year after year witnesses the exhorta-
tons of the father and the statesman
conveyed in the farewell address TO
myrads of listening ears. AS the
rose breathes a perfume which fingers
long after the flower is withered and
dead, SO from the ashes of George
Washington arises an influence which
is borne on every breeze that sweeps
across the public mind, and everyd dis
cussion upon the capicity of our race
for true freedom"

The best political economists agree
in this, that one hundred agricultural
families ought to support with food
sixty-six families, viz: one priest two
lawyers, four medical men, four
schoolmasters, six ~tailors, eight cat
penters, five smiths, three braziers,
two cabinet-makers, fourteen manu-
factors, and twelve traders including
clerks. In England, there are doub-
lie that proportion, which is Wldoubt-
edly the cause Of the frequent difficult
ties in the manufacturing cites, be-
cause there is not food enough in the
country for the support Of the whole;
and when the mechanic is out of en-
ployment, he has no productive r,
sources left.

warmly wrapped up in furs. As we
were starting, the servant threw in
under our feet a young sucking pig.
which began squeaking out in such 4
manner, that could scarcely bear its
shriIl cries.
"Good gracious, sir!" demanded.
"What is the noisy brute placed
here for?'
"You'll see, by and by. Sit quiet,
and I1l fulfill my PROMISE"
"Ah! it is for our breakfast l sup
pose. Surely, if this be the case, you
had better have it killed before start
ing"
"Be quiet; we have ample provis-
ions without eating this little animal:"
and my friend again relapsed into
smoking silence, drawing on his am
pie meershaum for the present enjoy
meut.
The horses now plunged into the
forest at full gallop. The little pig,
tired of ~squeaking, had become mute.
| confess, the whole affair puzzled me.
When we had travelled about three
leagues, the Count suddenly address,
ed me.
"Pull his ear"
"Whose earl"
"The pigs"
did SO, and the little thing began
crying out in the most piercing end
PIteous manner, making the whole
forest around ring with its shriIl voice.
In less than five minutes three large
wolves appeared, and started off in
pursuit of our sledge. Inow under
stood, for the first time, that our suck
ing friend was to act as a decoy 10
attract these ravenous animals.
Although as yet too far off to justi-
iy a shot at them, | was still doubtful
whether | could not take a pop at
them, when the chdsseur suddenly
threw down a small pigs skin stuffed
with straw, which he had attached.
to the sledge by a cord some. twenty
yard long. The instant he did so,
the v%oracious monsters, thinking that
our little squeaker had fallen out,
sprang forward to seize their victim,
almost tumbling over each orher 10
secure their prize.
In n moment more the Count and
myself had fired with such precision
that two wolves lay stretched on the
road.
"What splendid sportm cried /, de-
at my performance.
"Wait a little. ! have not fulfilled
my promise. We will not return
until a dozen more are shot"
The sledce kept moving rapidly
on. In about a quarter of an hour
we again had 10 our noisy
decoy, and by repeating the same
stratagem Of the stuffed pig, once
more inveigled the hungry inhabi-
tants Of the woods within the range
of our rifles. This experiment we
repeated at least a dozen times during
our drive, which extended over about
five leagues. Fourteen wolves were
thus destroyed, which | left with
much regret behind us. On this head.
however, my friend assured me |
need not be uneasy, as we should yet
secure u prizes.
Tired at length with eve this fine
sport, we turned round, and at a more
moderate pace retraced our way. On
the spot where they had fallen, we
found eleven of the fourteen animals
we had destroyed. These u chas-
seur, in the most dexterous manner,
stripped of their skins as he came up
to them, the operation not occupying
more than three minutes each. The
other three wolves had actually been
devoured by their hungry brethren.
