A CURIOSITY IN JOURNALISM. ·
There has been handed to the Bulletin by a well-known gentleman cf this city, a copy of the Peaylania Gazette, dated Wednesday, November 3, 1784, which is a curiosity of ancient journalism, 1 is about eight inches wide by fourteen long and is yellow and worn. with age. In contemplating the contents of its mouldy pages, one cannot fall to be struck with the wonderful chasm which separates this pany publication from the great newspapers of to-day, The modern editorial was unknown to the Gazette, and nowhere in its pages do the publishers intrude themselves, except in sundry advertisements, when the redder is directed le apply to the "printers of this paper " for informa- tion.
The legal advertisements are mainly confined to sales of real and personal property under writs of venditioni exponas and levari facias, which in our day would be called writs of execu tion, and to notifying the public to apprehend escaping servants. Silns Jones, with some servant apparent excitement, advertises that a lad" about sixteen years old, named Augustin: Kelly, has escaped, and he offers $8 reward for his apprehension.
Isaac Lane advertises for a "gray mare," lost, strayed or stolen, and George Henry states in indebted to the unless all six lines that near, deceased, settle before January 1st their accounts will be placed in the hands of a lawyer, which, he adds, will be very | "painful" to him. James Seth offers $10 reward for the capture of his "mulattoe man," Jem, who has run away, and whom he describes as "very fond of strong drink and very quarrelsome when in liquor,"
It appears from the following advertisement that there were matrimonial difficulties in 1794 ns well as a hundred years later -
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, N. J., Nov. 8, 1784. The subscriber observing herself in the last week's Gazette advertised by her husband, Obed Hudson, is under the necessity of taking the same method, however disagreeable, in order that an impartial public may be acquainted with the grounds of that separation, whereof he appears to complain, and thereby be induced, not to entertain any unfavourable impressions of a truly unfortunate woman. Suffice it then to say, that nothing but the most cruel treatment and abuse, with blows, and threatening set fire to the House, having first of all confined me and our chiktren in one of the rooms, would have forced me so have quitted him; since which, for my own personal safety, 1 have been obliged to swear the peace against him, and he has been com- pelled by authority to give bonds with sufficient security for his good behavior toward me and his neighbors, many of whom he has threatened upon my account Since I parted with him at first, owing to his fair promises I returned to him but his promises being, soon forgot and breken, I was obliged to leave him again. His own conscience, in those very few cool moments that die enjoys, must assure him this is a candid representation of the matter, and that much mere might be said if it was not for trespassing on the patience, of the public As to his for bidding any persons "harbouring me," as he styles it, this is out of his power to prevent, as many of my relations, and other friends, mani- fest the most humane disposition toward me in my distress, and rather than that I should expose my life under his roof again, are very willing to abide by what he calls the most vigorous prosecution of the law." Notwithstand. ing which I declare myself perfectly inclined to return to him as soon as ever he gives convincing proofs that he is really an altered man.

The Gatetie contains a page of correspondence. a portion of which are extracts from a letter wiitten by a gentleman in London to a friend in
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1890.
MABEL MAY,
You needn't be jealous, Mary
I bowed to a lady-Well ! Call her a lady, ?-Surely;
Wait til her tale I tell. You say she's working woman,
Looks like a sempit-ess-true, And I've nothing to say when you mutter
She's not any better than you. Her dress was a trifl: sh¬böy."
Her bonnet was not the style, Yet the lady. I bowed to, Mary,
Was the belle of the old Argyll- The famous place that you've heard of,
It's been shut this miny a day; But its queen, when ite fame was greatent, "
Was the be utiful Mabel May. · How did I know her, Mary?
Well, hardly by going there; I was only a private soldier,
And I hadn't much cash to spare, But we had in the Fifty-seventh
A Captain Dashton ilien- "Dare-devil Dash," they called him,
The officers and the men,
Not a nice name to go by-
Not a nice name to hear-
Spoken, say, half in wonder,
a sort of sneer, and half with a cova ot,
And that's how I knew him first; But it wasn't the Fifty-seventh
That saw him at his worst.
He was always a fastish follow,
Always a devil-may-care,
And the games that be plyed in barracks
Made some of the boldest stare. Drink! I should think so, rather-
It was brandy morning and night; He'd drink till he lost his reason-
He's given me many á fright, The drink seemed to make him "vicious,"
Vicious as horses are i Up with his heels in a minute,
And look out for the splinter-bar. Look out for the trap and coachman,
And bet on a tidy smash- You never knew what would happen If you started Dare-devil Dash. I've seen his room of a morning,
After he had broken,out
In one of his awful frenzies,
Just like a shelled redoubt.. The chairs and tables and, glasses
Lying about in bits-
Why, he'd shoot at himself in the mirror
In one of his vicious fits..
When sober, a smitter fellow,
Or a nicer you wouldn't find; It was just the cursed brandy
That drove him out of his mind. He'd had some trouble, I fancy,
A love affair, I was told- The woman he loved betrayed him
For a cad with a heap of gold.. It was then that the Devil got him, And he grew, so wild and mad,
It seemed that he couldn't gallop
Fast enough to the bad.
His conduct became a scandal-
A scandal at last so great,
He was tried and he left the regiment:
That settled the captain's fate
His father was fierce against him,
His family cut him dead,. For he never once made an effort
To alter the life he led.
He quarrelled and drank and gambled,
And he seemed to take a pride
In his fame as a reckless rowdy,
And in spreading it far and wide.
Worcester, and a letter written by an English-One day we heard in the regiment
man at Boston to a London newspaper. The Londoner's letter is dated September joth, and is worth quoting":-
LONDON.'
Sept. 1o. Most of the Senators in the Houfe of Affembly at Boston are farmers and mea of landed property. They are not chofen for any particular abilities, but are fent with exprefs direction to oppofe all' taxes. Their cry is, don't tell us of the neceffities of the times, but let us have no taxes. Vote against all taxes; to engage for this if the most effential qualification, so that nine-tenths of the prefent Houle is com- pofed of patriots of this fpecies of perfection. In general their meetings are without life and fpit; the members dofe in their grizzled wigs. and recline their heads like the contemplative Dr. Samuel Johnfon. They talk without grace, defpifing all the mode of oratory, though many of them are men of great fubtlety and make their remarks with considerable threwdness. If in the midt of a drowfy harangue the word taxes should be mentioned, the found electrifies them in an infant like sleeping geefe, when alarmed every head is elevated, every eye opened; all is butle and attention; and no fooner has the speaker fat down but twenty of thefe no-tax men will rife together, to let fly a valley of ob- jections at the head of the delinquent who dared to touch upon fuch a difcordant string. Then comes, Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must bave no faxes my constituents don't like taxes-they can't pay taxes-they won't pay taxes-they fhan's pay taxes.
That he'd married a Mabel May- One of those pour lost' women Who go by the name of gay. She was rather a famous beauty In the days of the old Argyll, And, thanks to her wealthy lovers,
She was living in first-class style,
It is a universal cry all over the new States, why, what did we fight for when taxes are to be collected, why, what did we fight for old debts to be paid, why, what did we fight for 1 As houferent and the neceffaries of life are hourly. advancing upon them, this is their morning and evening song, in the Devil's name what did we fight for t
"At the end of this satire the editor recom. mends the reader to peruse the letter from the Worcester Correspondent In another column, evidently to turn the thoughts of the patriot in another direction. This letter is as follows;--- WORCESTER, November 4th. Extract of letter from a gentleman in London,
dated August 13, 1784.
"I have paid feveral vifits to the House of Cornmons-It' ftrikes me as a place of much confufion There is not half that order and regularity which is obferved in the Houfe of Representatives of Maffachusetts. It is a perfect fede of contention and animofity. When I was there laft they were debating on India affairs. Mr. Pitt is really a fine fpeaker, and Mr. Fox's artillery are prodigious; the manly cafe with which be delivers his fentiments carries Irrefift- ible attention. There are many other good fpeakers. Mr. Pitt is thought a prodigy, confid. ering his years; he has done what no minliter bas dared to do before him, that is, in a matterly manner placed the true Itate of the national charities before the people. Excepting a few good debaters, the House of Commons appear to be compofed of fimple Block heads, Horis Jock- eys, fat Country Squires and some Backs and Bloods of the for-They all fit with their hats on-fome booted and fpurred, with their whips in their bands-others lying a fall length on the benches-fome asleep others laughing and talking about nothing-and when one member has done fpeaking, every one that is capable of faying anything, Jolas in a general vociferation for their turn, and after a long time and much calling to order, the fpeaker filences the clamor, and directs who fhall take his turn to burrangue. This Great Cound of the Nation, which sounded so magnificent in my deluded ears in America, is a mighty big Agníficance."
I heard the officers talking-
They said it was in the Times, And this, so they seemed to fancy,
Was the worst of the captain's crimes. To spite and to grieve his father,
His people to shock and shame, He bad advertised his marriage. With a woman of evil fame. He hadn't a single shilling
He was head over ears in 'debt, And the very day he married
His name was in the Gazette: But Mabel had lots of money-
Safe and snug in the bank, And a beutiful house and jewels,
The gift of a man of rank.
I met my old captain after |
He told me to call one day-
I was up at the house pretty often Before we were ordered away.
It was then that I met the lady,
And, whatever she had been once, I saw that she loved her husband-
That was plain to the merest dunce. But he'd settled himself for.ever,
Had Dare-devil Captain Dash
He had stooped so low, men whispered,
As to squander a wanton's cash.
in a year he had brought her ruin,
He had robbed her of jewels-all, And then gone off with a woman He had met at a music-hall,
He had left her, an alling mother,
With a baby but two months old, Left her without a penny;
So the last of her things were sold. And then, in a wretched lodging,
The beautiful Mabel May Had to work for herself and baby
To keep the woll away,
For she loved her heartless husband

His people are rich and honoured,
But they never forgave him dead- It was Mabel who put the tombstone
That stands at the green grave's head, And still, with à face made fairer.
By motherhood's, softening band, She's as true to her wildly sorrow As the lady who rules the land.
Now, are you jealous, Mary,
That I bowed to my captain's wife? Don't you think the Recording Angel Has torn one page from her life? And that when the poor widowed work-girl
Stands forth at the Judgment Day There'll be never a voice to whisper That once she was Mabel May?

With a love that had made her pure- That had given her strength to struggle,
To suffer and still endure. There were those, had they known her trouble,
Would have come, as they came before, And offered her gold in plenty
For the love that her ford forsware. But, clasping her baby to her,
The poor deserted wife Declared that the vow she'd plighted
She would keep through all her life. And the prayed by her baby's cradle
That Heaven would let her live, Aad, guarding her love from evil, Would pity him and forgive.
He died with her arms around him—
One night, in a drunken brawl, He slipped and fell in a scuffle,
And his spine was hurt in the fall, She heard he was lying helpless
In a hospital far away, And she brought him home and nursed him,
And tended him night and day! She worked till her cheeks were hollow And her beautiful eyes were dig, the heeded not cold nor hunger,
Bat worked for the child and him. And the night that he died he blessed her,-
And, raising his death-glazed eyes, He marmured a prayer to Heaven,
He might meet her beyond the skies,
