From the Dover Enquirer. OLD AND NEW TIMES. When my dear father was a boy, Fult forty years ago, Younfr gentlemen could pull the flax, And break it from the tow. Young gentlemen could plough and plant, And sow, and dig, and reap, To market then they'd take a jaunt, Their money get and keep. Young gentlemen were noble then, As any dandies now; Yet they could help their mamas churn, Aud make a graceful bow. Young gentlemen then wore wool hat, Cut with a good broad brim Three corner'd cambric for cravats, They tied beneath the chin. Then gentleman wore nice long caats, All buttoned up before Ko rufBaBhad tbey on their bhirta Not one amongst a score. And as for love, I do not know I think then some possessed it, But of the noble passion no-w They're all alike divested. Young gentlemen that did tten love, Believed in pereevermcej And to the promises they made They kept a atria adherence. Jioto gentlemen can stalk the field, Bake hay an hour or two. When suddenly the showers arise,. As frequently they do. Ko-io gentlemen with walking sticks Can aaunter through the town hn stop in any dram shop door, And leisurely sit down. They never drink unless they're dry, "A little cannot barm.;" Out sometimes when they wish to go? They ''Cannot spin street yarn." Mustachoes, gentlemen nov wear; 1 like the appearance well; Out then their beard is shorn so near, They'll many a "whapper" tell. vow ollen hats are changed for fur, t;rvts to stiffened collars, Plain bosoms into yard-wide ruffs. And E-gles into dollars.

WAVERLY NOVELS. Acta Series. S'mi circumstances of a local situa tion gave the author, in his youth, an opportunity of seeing a little, and hearing a grtat daly about that degraded class who ar called gipsies, who are in most casHg a mixed race, between the ancient Egyptians, who arrived in Europe about (he beginning of the fifteenth century, and vagrants of European descent. The individual gipsy upon whom the character of Meg Merrilies was founded, was well known about the middle of the last century, by the name of Jean Gor don, an inhabitant of the village of Kirk Yetholm, in the Cheviot hills, ad joining to the English Border. Theau-J thor gave the public some account of this remarkable person in one of the early numbers of Blackwood's Magazine, .to the following purposes. My father remembered old Jean Gordon of Yetholm, who bad great sway among her tribe. She was quite a Meg Merrilies, and possessed the savage virtue of fidelity in the same perfection. Having been often hospitably received at the farm-house ofLochside, near Yetholm, she had carefully abstained from committing any depredations on the the farmer's property. But her sons (nine in number) had not, it seems, the same delicacy, and stole a brood sow from their enlertaiuer. Jean was mor tified at this ungrateful conduct, and no much ashamed of it, that she absen ted herself irom i-ochsidc for several years. It happened, in course of time, that in consequence ol some temporary pecun iary necessity, the Goodman of Lochride was obliged to go to Newcastle to raise some money to pay his rent. He succeeded in his purpose, but returning through the mountains of Cheviot, he was benighted and lost his way. Alight glimmering through the window of a large waste barn, which had survived the farm house to which it had belonged, guided him to a place of shelter; and when he knocked at the door, il was opened by Jean Gordon. Her very remarkable figure, for she was nearly fix feet high, and her equally remarkable features and dress, rendered it impossible to mistake her for a moment, though he had not seen her for years, and to meet with such a character in so solitary a place, and probably at no great distance from her clan, was a grievous surprise to the poor man, whose rent (to lose which would have been ruin.) was about his person. Jean set tip a loud shout ofjovfnl re cognition IJ), si-! the winsome Gudeman of Lochtdde! Light down, light down;forye mauna gang farther the night, and a friend's houc sae near.' The farmer was obliged to dismount, and accept of the cipsys offer of a supm . .. i a rvi psrrtiui a neo, mere was plenty ofl meat in the barn, however it might bo come by, and preparations were, going

on for a plentiful repnsf, which tho farmer, to the great increase of hia anxiety observed, was calculated for ten or twelve guests of the same description, probably, with his landlady. Jean left him in no doubt on the subject. She brought to his recollection the story ol the stolen sow, and mentioned how much pain and vexation it had given her. Like other philosophers) she remaiked that the world grew worse daily; and like other parents, that

the bairns got out of her guiding, and neglected the old gipsy regulations, which commanded them to respect, in their depredations, the property of their benefactors. The end of all this was, an inquiry what money the farmer had about him; and an urgent request, or command, that he would make her purse keeper, since the bairns, as she called her sons, would be soon home. The poor farmer made a vittue of necessitj , told his story, and surrendered his gold to Jean's custody. She made him put a few shillings in his pocket, observng it would excite suspicion should he be found travelling altogether pennyless. This arrangement being rmde, the farmer lay down on a sort of shake-down, 16 the Scotch call, or bed clothes disposed upon some straw, but, as will easily be believed, slept not. About midnight the gang returned, with various articles of plunder, and talked over their exploits in language which made the farmer tremble. The) were not long in discovering they had a guest, and demanded of Jean whom she had got there. E'en the winsome Gudeman ofLoch side, poor body, replied Jpan; he's been at Newcastle seeking siller to pay his rent, honest man, but-deil-hckit he's been able to gather in, sae he's gaun e'en hame wi' a toom purse and a sair heart. That may be, Jean, replied one of the banditti, but we maun rip his pouches r-. bit, and see if the tale be true or no. Jan set up her throat in exclamation against this breach of hospitality, but without producing any change in their determination. The farmer 6oon heard their stifled whispers and light steps by his bedside, and understood they were rumaging his clothes. When they found the money which the providence of Jean Gordon had made him retain, they held a consultation if they should take it or no; but the smallness ot the booty, and the vehemence of Jean's remonstrances, determined them in the negative. They carouEed and went to rest. A soon as day dawned, Jean roused her guest, produced his horse, which she had accommodated behind the hallan, and guided him for some miles, till he was on the high road to Lochside. She then restored his whole property; nor could his earnest entreaties prevail on her toaccept so much as asingle guinea. I have heard the old people at Jedburg say, that all Jean's sons were condemned to die there on the same day. It i& said the jury were equally divided, but that a friend to justice, who had slept during the whole discussion, waked suddenly, and gave his vote for condem nation, in the emphatic words, 'Hang IIIVIII M W J W VUII Vi Vft III a Scottish jury, so the verdict of guilty was returned. Jean was present, & only said, 'The Lord help the innocent on a day like this" Her own death was ac companied mth circumstances of brutal outrage, of which poor Jean was in ma ny respects wholly undeserving. She had, among other demerits, ormcrits,a8 the reader may choose to rank it, that of being a staunch Jacobite. She chan ced to be at Carlisle upon a fair or market day, soon after the year 1746,where she gave vent to her political partiality, to the great offence of the rabble of the city. Being zealous in their loyalty, when there was no danger in proportion to the tameness with which they had surrendered to the Highlanders in 1 745, . a . mm' ' tne moo lniuctea upon poor Jean Gor don no slighter death than that of duck ing her to death in the Eden. It was an operation of some time, for Jean was a stout woman, and struggling with her murderers,, otten got her head above water ; and, while she had voice left, coniinued to exclaim at such intervals Ltiarlie yet! cnarlieyet! When a child and among the scenes which she fre quented,! have often heard these storief, and cried pueously for poor Jean Gor don.

But he was determined, and we, of course, after leiiingmm how extromely sorrv we were to lose so constant a customer, erased his name.

EVIL OF TOO MUCH DEBATE. From Mr. Jefferson's Memoirs in the collection of his writings just printed: "Congress at jlnnnpolis. Our bod was not numerous, but very contentious. Day after day, was wasted on the most unimportant questions. A member, one of those atllicted with the morbid rage of debate, of an ardent mind, prompt maginatioin, and copious flow of words, who heard with impatience any logic which was not his own, sitting near me on some occasion of a trilling but wordy debate, asked me how I could sit in silence hearing so much false reasoning, which a word would refute? I observed to him, that to refute indeed was easy, but to silence impossible, that inmeasures brought forward by myself, I took the laboring oar, as was incumbent on me; but that, in general, I was willing to listen; that if every aigument or ob

jection was used by some one or anoth er of the numerous debater?,1 it was enough, if not, 1 thought it sufiicient to suggest the omission, without going into a repetition of what had been already said by others ; that this was a waste and lbuse of lime and patience tf the H use, which could not b And I believe that if members ate bodies were to observe this course generally, they would takes (hern a week Qucstionable.lhan may whpthpr H.innnarlp's dumb 1cfU atnrp. r b - ouiu iiwiiiuijji uuu tuu-i, i not be preferable to one which talks much, and does nothing.

Chiefs were at table one 01 them seeing other guests take mustard with their beet, helped Ir.Dlsell to a 6poontul and swallowed the whole at a do3e. Too stoical to complain he preserved imperturable serenity of muscle, ii.v .-Junta-ry tears only marking his internal agony. 4 Why do you weep? inquired the brother chief. "Thinking of my father's death" was the reply. Presently the other who had seen his fellow taste the mustard, helped himself and swallowed the liery portion. Tears streamed amain. And why those signs of sorrow?' inquired the first "I was sorrowing," replied the oth er, "that you had not been ouricd with your father." The fact is that to the fly, as to the Indians, the mustard was a complete take-in. A young man went to pay hia addresses to a very pretty girl whom he had seen abroad, neat as a pink, & mild as a summer evening all smiles and dimples. Going in unexpectedly one day, he heard the voice of his charmer an octave above, and at least a demi-semi quaver too rapid, for good nature. Standing a moment he saw her pass, those fciiken tresses in wild disorder, "Streaming like a meteor thro' the trou bled air,' ulip-9hod heel of one stocking half torn off. It was not the dishabille oi industn, but the garb of the slattern. Amazed, the lover gazed a momentthen crying "I'm i ff" as the fly said took his departure forever. Such a girl, so neat in public, sosweet before company, ! look upon as a piece of veneered woik. a thin covering of beautiful stuff, put on for Bhow, concealing the rough and unsightly material ol which the article is mainly formed. How many hundred instances in life is mustard taken for sugar: In politics in trade especially in pleasure. But as I write to be read, and of all things should be mortified to see one gaping over my youthful iucubratit.n?,urm off." BOB BRIEF. When Cr, the tragedian, last paid a visit to his native land, he stopped at Haddington, and was struck with the beauty of a chambermaid. He got to bed and fell asleen to dream about her. Out of his slumber he was gently awakod, and, to his delight, saw this char ming girl standing by his bed-side, with a light, seemingly a little embarrassed.
