In reply to Hunter in your last week 5
issue, we would say say that we gave. the ac
count of the chase as we were credibly in
formed, and his own admission of dog being
turned out verifes our statement. AS to the
transformation, I only said the fox was trans
formed TO dog, not even insinuating by
whom or what. We would not think Of attrib
uting supernatural power to any of the gentle
men interested i'll the chase, but as tadpoles
are transformed to frogs, by nature, could not
a fox be transformed to a dog by the same
agency? Probably the real fox was let loose
and chased, too, but we have not heard of
any one yet who saw him at the start or at
forwards We make this statement so that
the public may not be led to believe that we
misrcpresented the circumstances.

q Beautiful Extract.

Our readers will pardon us for Civ
ing them something very old, instead
OF something new. The following is
taken from writer of Queen Eliza
beth's time, and the person of whom it
was written was John >hakspeare,
father of the great poet. 1t will be
seen from this that the poet inherited
at least a portion of his greatnes:
"MethinkS that there cannot be in
nature a sight so truly pitiful, and yet
so noble withal, rs an honest man
struggling with adversely.
Note how he labors to bear up his
heart against the crushing weight of
his stern necessities.
See his nature-a proud nature, per
chance, for there is no pride like that of
honesty-reduced to the mean resorts
of povertys most absolute rule.
Behold the fallacious smile and abor-
tive cheerfulness under which he would
strive to hide the iron entering his
soul !
Want winds her serpent folds around
him and eats into his vitals; ruin how
ers over him on vulture's wings to
seize him for her prey; disgrace points
at him; shame follows on his steps, and
fear seeks to disturb the pleasant shell
ter of his dreams.
But the honest man holds up his
head like flag upon a wreck, and
when that rude villain death would
take the wall of him, he doffs his
beaver with a natural dignity, which
mere gallantry can have 40 example Of.
Such it was with John Shakespeare"
