THE ROVER.
I'm afloat, I'm afloat, on the fierce rolling tide,
The Ocean's my hone, my barque ia my bride ;
Up, up, with my flag, let it wtve o'er the sea,
I'm afloat. I'm afloat, and the rorer is free.
I fear not the monarch, I heed not the law, -While
I've a compass to steer by, and a dagger to
draw
And ne'er aa a coward, or slave will I kneel,'
Whilst my gun carries shot, or my belt bears a
steel. . .
Quick, quick, trim her sails, let her sheets kiss the
:. wind,
And 111 warrant, we'll soon leave the sea gnlla be
hind ;
Up, up, with my flag, let it wave o'er the sea, ' -I'm
afloat, I'm afloat, and the rover is free. ..
The night gathers o'er us, the thunder is heard,
What matters, our vessel ekims on like a bird ;
"What to her is a dash of the storm ridden main,
Ehe has bravod it before, and can brave it again.
With the lightning above us, and darkness below,.
Through the wide waste of waters, right onward
we go;
Up. np, with my flag, let it wave oer the sea,
I'm afloat, I'm afloat, and the rover is free.
Huxta, my brave boys, you may drink, you may
Bleep,
The storm fiend is htuhed we're alone on the deep;
Up, up, with my flag, let it wave o'er the eea.
Huzza, my brave boys, and the rover is free.

HUNTING WOODCniTCKS;
-OH,-
JO PETER'S MISTAKE.
BT C. W. E.
'- Come Jo, get the dog, and let's see if we
can't catch a woodchuck,' said Harry Sheldon,
one fine afternoon in July, as he and Joe Pe
ters lay. upon the grass thinking in what they
should pass away time.
I know where there's a hole, big enough
for a bnll dog and newly dug, and I'll bet my
bat against a pumpkin that there is a smash
ing woodchuck in.it, and if yon are a mind to
hop up, and -go down with me to Smith's
wooks, I guess we can ratcb him,' continued
Harry.
fWhat kind of a critter are they V said Joe
as he rose from the ground. WiIl they bite?1
! 'Oh no answered Harry, they are the pret
tiest little feller you ever see, and as harmless
as a little kitten.'
v oat Harry meant by lying so, we cannot
say, perhaps the sequel will tell.
Well continued Jo, 'I'll go in the house
and get Guess (the dog,) and we'll catch
"Ixim if he's anywheres round,' and going into
the house, he soon returned with the gun and
dog. The latter individual was a fine, large
- dog of the spaniel breed, and famous for wood-
chuck hunting. . . .
Handing the gun to Harry, Jo exclaimed,
I never saw a woodchuck in all my born
days, and I'd give a small sized farm to catch
one, and chain him; now what's the reason we
can't, Harry V
T7e can, just as slick as greaae,' answered
Harry, if you are only a mind to catch him by
the tail and fetch him up to the house.'
'I can do that just as slick as a mice, said
Jo.
Tvell then, let's be off. exclaimed Harry,
and whistling for the dog, they started off".
After a walk of about half a mile, they came
to a small thick piece of woods which greatly
abounded in game. Harry stopped, and draw
ing the ramrod he measured the charge, (Har
ry had a mortal disliee to a kicking gun,) he
thee returned the ramrod, and walked on.
j.ney waisea snentiy on, when ttarry, giv
ing Guess Lis marching orders . which . were
simply to 'keep behind,' exclaimed in a low
voice. -.
'By thunder, Jo, I saw one then.'
'Did yer, well give him beans, IH wait here.'
.' 'So do,' exclaimed Harry, and cocking the
gun, he crept forward.
.; I see him,' and quick as thought he raised
mo juu iv ui auuumer aou urea. .
t I fetched him,' exclaimed Hrry, and dis
A ..1 11 , r-
appearing m the bushes, he soon returned,
fetching by the tail a small animal about the
oiMi vi a aiuaii Kiiicn, ana mrowing mm on
the ground proceeded to load, while Jo exam
ined the 'chuck very attentively.
Harry loaded the gun about eight fingers!
but for what reason we cannot imagine.
Handing the gun to Joe, he said, 'Take him
by the tail, and come along, we shan't see any
more in here, when I fired, I scart 'am all, so
you can carry the gun.'
Jo picked up the woodchuck, and shoulder
ing the gun, proceeded onward. After a walk
of 10 minutes they came to the edge of the
woods; 'there it's somewheres round here,'
said Harry as he looked around.
. nullo, I see it,' exclaimed Jo, and walking
forward a few steps, they came to a hole newly
dug. ' .
xes, nere it is said Harry, as he threw
himself upon the grass; 'smell him Guess,
take hold of him, dig him out.'; , ;
- ' Guess did smell him, and then giving a loud
mud musical howl proceeded to dig.
"'He's in there,' said Harry, 'and Jo, you
must watch the hole, for the : moment Guess
sees him, he'll make chicken pie of him.'
'I'U look out, answered Joe, as he sat
watching Gueas.
- Guess, kept on digging. Suddenly Harry
sprang up and run off to a ' safe distance, ex
claiming. , r. . .-
'Jewhittaker, Jo, I saw him then, catch him
by the tail, or Guess will save you the trouble.'
Jo rose up and looking into the hole, put
his arm, and immediately drew it out with an
aalmal of white and black color, by the tail,
the moment the Wcodchv.dc r saw the air, he
' Henry laid down upon the grass, and laugh
ed till the tears ran down his cheeks like rain
Jo rolled in the grass crying.
Oh murder, my eyes f By thunder, Harry
Sheldon, I'll pay you for this. Gracious
mighty ! how my eyes smart, where's a brook!'
he sprung to his feet and run to a brook, and
plunging in,waahed himself over and over again
He soon returned, and as he approached Har
ry, he shook his fist saying,
'If you ain't the all-firedest, meanest fool
that ever lived, to tell a feller to catch a skcxk
by the tail.'
'Ha, ha, ha! Oh dear, how my sides ache,'
said Harry, ad he rolled in the grass, don'
come near me, you skunk-catcher. Ha, ha,
ha !' and springing to his feet he ran for home
Jo shook his first after him, and muttered
something about 'punched head' and 'broken
nose.' Happening to turn round, he espied
his skunk running for dear life, upon a stone
wall that lay near by.
Seizing the gun he fetched it io his shoul
der, and fired. The skunk was torn all to
pieces by the shot, and Jo . had a very lame
shoulder for a fortnight after the Skunk hunt
When Jo arrived home, he immediately
changed his clothes, and then proceeded to
hunt up Harry, but that worthy individual had
made himself scarce, fearing Jo's anger. He
did not make his appearance until Jo had cool
ed down.
Jo has since sworn eternal enmity to "VTood-
chucks or Skunks ! !
a clerical iriena, wno is "settled." away
"Down East," tells us that he is often amused
at the shrewdness of a certain parishioner of
his who is fond of reading his Bible without
note or comment, and guessing out any obscu
ritics which he may encounter. He came to
his pastor one day, and asked him what in his
opinion was the reason why the Jews who went
out to meet Christ when he was riding into
Jerusalem seated on an ass colt, took branches
of palm trees in their hands. He was told
they intended to honor the Savior etc. "Hon
or him," said he "that's all humbug ! I don't
believe a word of it. . "Wasn't they a thirsting
for his blood J A plaguy sight of honor they
meant to him. No, no, I tell you ; them pesky
Jews was awful cunnin' critters, and they
wanted to break his neck ; and so they took
them branches to skeer the colt .'" Our corres
pondent commends this interpretation to the
attention of Biblical commentators. Knicker
bocker. Shameful Dishonesty. As a proof of the
extensive adulteration of liquors in this coun
try, it is stated that more Port wine is drank
in the United States in one year than passes
through the custom house in ten ; that more
champagne is consumed in. America alone
than the whole champagne district produces ;
that Cogniac brandy costs four times as much
in France, where it is made, as it is retailed
for in our grog shops ; and that the failure of
the whole grape crop in Madeira produced no
apparent diminution in quantity, nor increase
in the price of wine.
A couple of Bowrry b'hoys being caught in
a thunder squall in the bay, Tom, who was
very much frightened, said to his companion
in peril:
"I say, mose can you pray?"
"Not a bit," was the answer.
"What," says Tom, "can't you say no
prayer, of no sort?"
"Not a word," was the laconic reply.
"Thsn,' say 3 Tom, "something must be
done, and that damcd quick." 4.
Ancient Religious Statutes. In 1G38 a
great majority of the people of Virginia be,,
longed to the established church, and the
preaching of dissenters was prohibited ; Qua
kers were banished; and if they returned were
punished by heavy fines. In Massachusetts,
also, Jesuits and Catholic priests were ban
ished, and the importation of "that cursed
sect," Quakers, was strictly forbidden.
Don't Believe It. A" social party at Mad
ison, the other evening, were interrupted du
ring a game of "euchre" by the entrence of
the clergyman. The latter did not seem, how
ever, to notice the embarrasment of the party,
but looked over the shoulder of one of them
who held the "possibles," and advised him,
in a whisper, to "take it up and play it alone."

GRATIAM'S MAGAZINE. NEW VOL
UME. 1354. In announcing his readiness to
receive orders for the New Volume, the editor does
not know he has any very brilliant ideas to bold
out in large capitals to dazzle people's eyea
"Graham" will be pretty much what it has been
the last volume, with come improvements which
experience suggest. No number will contain less
than 100 pages of matter, and the readers of "Gra-
hain" may rely with great confidence upon thi;
the volume shall contain ...
OVER TWELVE HUNDRED PAGES !
Of the very be3t reading matter that capital can
command from anginal sources, or taste select from
the vast mass of available material.
The aim of the editor will be to produce a pub
lication which shou be valuable in matter, and
choice in taste and style; and ho flatters himself.
from the known talents of his contributors, that he
will be able to present as many good original ar
ticles to bis readers as any publication of the day.
He shall not, however, hesitate to publish, from
time to time, articles from English authors, and
translations from the best German and French
writers, provided the pieces have never before ap
peared in print in this country. Essays on impor
tant Political Subjects will likewise be inserted,
and criticisms on the Literature of America and
the movements of the Age. - The Leview Depart
ment, in which a largo and liberal Bpirit ot crit
icism will always be maintained, will be extended
For the defenceof American Diterature the editor
will always be ready ; the maintainance of a cor
rect tone in the Magazine, he will, if possible, be
still more watchful.

FINE STEEL PLATE IS ADDITION TO THE CHOICE
DESIGNS AND ENGRAVINGS OP DEVF.RCX,
who will supply illustrations for the text in the
body of the book. The aim of the editor will not
be so much to increase the number of his engrav
ings, as to secure for those he publishes the ut
most finish the artist can give them ; for common
wood-cuts are so easily multiplied, that the most
indifferent publication may outrank in dreary dis
play me cnoicest periodical.
The Editor docs not feel, that with his own rca
, . . ..... ...
aers, nc can increase nis claims to respect by in
sisting on any very great superiority of 'Graham'
over several similar publications, but thinks he
may safely confide in their friendship for the
Magazine, and in its past management for its pre
sent list, and such increase as naturally grows out
of an extended circulation in a country where
readers are multiplying so rapidly.
i Of the January number the first ad it ion will bo
30,000 copies, and the editor trusts his old friends
will be so prompt in renewing old club3, and ex
tending the list among now ones, that the first
edition shall be but half os what the year will ul
timately establish, as the permanent circulation of
