[Chasseur and Cuba Bloodhounds.] 



THE BLOODHOUND. 



" Conscious of the recent stains, his heart 



Beats quick; his snuffling nose, his active tail, 

 Attest his joy : then with deep opening mouth, 

 That makes the welkin tremhle, he proclaims 

 Th f audacious felon. " 



THE BLOODHOUND is taller than the old English hound, 

 most beautifully formed, and superior to every other 

 kind in activity, speed, and sagacity. It is commonly 

 of a reddish or brown colour, with long ears. It seldom 

 barks, except in the chase : and never leaves its game 

 until it has caught and killed it.
