"From the Boston Statesman. Thou hast wooed me with p'edgea A princess miht wear ; . Tiiou hast offered rich jewels, To wreaths in my hiir. Ah! deck with thy jewels The halls of the sea; Thy gold and thy purple They are not for me ; But give me Love's myrtle, And ribbon of blue, And I'll go to the bridal At Vesper3 with you. Thou hast told of the glory That wailed thy bride ; ' 1 Thy mansion of splendor Thy l'.ueage of pride. Ah ! o to the high torn, In places of glee. And boast of thy titles They are not for me : But give me a cottage A warm heart and true And I'll go to the bridal At Vespr3 with you. Harp of tU hie. From the Illinois Monthly Magazine. The Philadelphia M2un. One day, no matter when, a stranger was seen riding slowly through the streets of a flourishing town in Tennessee. He was a well dressed, good looking young man, mounted upon what in this country would be called " the best kind of a nag." His appearance, altogether, was respectable enough; it wa3 even,a3 respects exteriors, a touch above what is common;

and he would have passed along unnoticed, had it not been for one thing, which excited universal attention. Although the streets were crowded with people, and the front of the stores adorned with tine goads, and such fancy articles as usually attract the eye the stranger's gaze was fixed on vacancy; he turned his head neither to the right nor to the left; he moved neither lip nor eyelid; but rode forward, as if apparently unconscious, as well of his own existence, as of the presence of his fellow creatures. It was court week, and an unusual concourse or people was coueciea. Here was the judge, with a long train of lawyers. The candidates for cilice were here, distributing smiles and kindnesses, and practising all those popular arts, which are so well understood in every republican country. Here was the farmer clad in hif neatest homespun, and mounted cn his best horse. Here was the hunter with rifle. Here, in 6hort, were the people; collected, some for pleasure, and some for business, exhibiting the excitement of feeling which crowds always produce, with a good humor which is only found in countries where all are free and equal. The public-square exhibited a scene which would have been amusing to one unaccustomed to such displays of character. At one spot were two neighbors driving a bargain. Unlike the people of other countries, who transact such business in private, they were surrounded by a host of people, who all occasionally threw in their comments. A stranger judging from the dry jokes, the loud bantering, and the vociferous laughter which passed around the circle, would not have supposed that any serious business was in hand; a resident only would infer, that "before this little circle parted, a horse would be swapped, a crop of tobacco sold, or a tract of land conveyed. Not far ofFwas a set of politicians, settling the affairs of the nation. But the most amusing individuals, were some two or three, who were cavorting. Now, if any lady or gentlemen is so ignorant of the American language as not to know what cavorting is, and if Webster's celebrated quarto does not furnished the definition, it is necessary that we explain, that it expresses the conduct of an individual who fancies himself the smartest and best man in the world. On this occasion, a fellow might be seen dressed in a hunting shirt, with a rifle on his shoulder mounted, half tipsy, upon a spirited horse, and dashing through the crowd. Now lie would force his spurs into his horse's sides, and put him at full speed, or rein him up until he reared on hh hinder feet; and now he would command him to stop, and the obedient animal would stand still and tremble. All the time he was ranting and roaring in praise of himself, his horse, and the United States of America. He boasted that he was born in the woods, rocked in a sugar trough, and suckled by a BulTaJo; that he could tote a steamboat, and outrun a streak of lightning ; that his wife was as handsome as a pet fawn, and chilSren real roarers. Re bestowed similar encomiums on his horse; and finally avowed himself to be a friend to the United States of America and then he commenced again, and went over the same round, flourishing his rifle all the time, and exerting his lungs to their utmost. Although he often declared that he could whip anv man in the round world, except Coh C. that he ft under at New-Orleans, nobody accepted the challenge, or took offence; the whole being considered as a matter of course, and as the natural !

effect of stimulent potations upon 'an illiterate man of ardent temperament, who, when duly sober, was an honest, quiet, and inoffensive citizen. While the people were amused at the vagaries of this wild hunter, or engaged in conversation, the sun had gone down, and it wa3 nearly dark when the moving automaton, described in the commencement of this story, rode solemnly into town. It is customary in this country for persons who meet, although acquainted, to salute each other, and this courtesy is especially practised towards strangers; and although the new comer on this occasion, would not have been expected to ad dre3each individual in a crowded street, yet when those who were nearest nodded or spoke as they civilly opened the way, they were surprised to sec the horseman's gaze fixed on vacancy, and his body remaining as

erect as if tied to a stake. "That man's asleep," said one; "He's a3 blind as a bat," said another; 4 'I reckon he's sort o' dead," exclaimed a third; "He rides an elegant nag," remark ed a fourth; and all were surprised that a man, who was apparently so good a judge of a horse, had not wit enough to see where he was going, or to know who were around him. In the mean while our traveller moved proudly on, until he reached the best inn; a tine brick building, presenting every indication of neatness, comfort, and even luxury. As he rode up, two well fed negroes, with visages like polished ebony, and teeth a3 white as snow, rushed forth, and while one stzicd his bridle, the other held his stirrup as he dismounted. Still the automaton relaxed not a muscle; but drawing up his body, moved majestically towards the house. At the door he was met by the landlord, a portly well dressed man, with a fine open countenance, who had been honored by his fellow citizens with several civil ap pointments, and had even commanded some of them to the field, in time of peril. He touched his hat as he welcomed the stranger, and invited him into his house with an air of dignity and hospitality. A servant took his surtout, and several gentlemen, who were seated around the fire, pushed back their chairs to make way for the stranger.- But all these things moved not the automaton; the glazed eye and compressed lip were still fixed, and the chin remained in the cushion of an immense cravat. After a momentary pause, the gentlemen in the room, re sumed their conversation, the landlord applied himself to the business of his house, and the silent traveller was consigned to the oblivion which he seemed to covet; and excited no more. attention, except from an honest back woodsman, who strolled in to take a peep, and after gazing at him for a quarter of an hour, suddenly clapped his hands, and exclaimed to his companion, "it moves Bill! if it an't alive I'll agree to go;a foot as long as'I live." By this time candles were lighted, and the silent gentleman seemed to grow weary of silence. He now rose and strutted across the apartment with a very important stride. He was a young man of about two and twenty, of ordinary height, and less than ordinary thickness. His person seemed to be compressed with corsets, and his head was supported by the ears upon a semicircle of stiffened linen, which occupied the place of a shirt collar; and his habiliments announced him to the eyes of the curious as a genuine species of that singular genus, the dandy. After taking several turns through the apartment, he drew forth his gold repeater, and, opening his mouth for the first time, exclaimed, in a peremptory tone, "Landlord I I want supper!" "You shall have it, sir," said the landlord, with a bow, and winking at the same time at the other guests; "we had supped when you arrived, but will not detain you many minutes." In a short time supper was announced, and a stranger was shown into a back room, handsomely furnished, where a neat elderly matron presided at the heed of a table, spread with tea, cotlee, bread, cakes, beef, pork, bacon, venison, fowls, and all that profusion of eatables, with which western ladies delight to entertain their guests. Near her sat a young lady, modestly, attired, in the bloom of youth and beauty, whose easy manners and engaging appearance might have warmed any heart not callous to the charms of native elegance. Now, indeed, our dandy opened both mouth and eyes to some purpose. Scarcely deigning to return the salutation of his hostess, he commenced the work of havoc fish, flesh and fowl vanished from before him; his eye roved from dish to dish, and then wandered off to the young lady now he gazed at a broiled chicken, and now at the fair niece of the landlord but which he liked best, I am unable to say. The chicken seemed t go aff very well, but on the subject

of the damsel he never opened his mouth. Returning again to the sitting apartment, he found the same set of gentlemen whom he had left there, still engaged in conversation. They were the judge, the lawyers, and other intelligent men of the country, who were not a little amused at the airs of our dandy. Again they opened their circle to receive him, but his eye?, his mouth, and his heart, if he ever had one, were closed against every thing but the contemplation of his important self. After drawing his boots, picking his teeth, and pulling a segar, he again opened his mouth with, "Landlord ! I want to go to bed !' "Wheneveryou please, sir 1" "I want a room to myself, girl" "I don't know how that will be," replied the landlord; "my house is full, and I shall be compelled to put you in the room with some of these gentlemen." "I can't go it, sir f replied the dandy, strutting up and down; "never slept in a room with any body in my life, sir! and never tillj must have a room

sir : The landlord now laughed outright at the airs of the coxcomb, and then said, very gcod humoredly, "Well, well, I'll go and talk with my wife, and see what we can do." "My dear," said the landlord, as he entered the supper room, "here's a man who says he must have a room to himself." "What that little greedy man, in corsets?" "The same." " Set him up with a room!" ezclaimed the landlady. "He is a trifling fellow," said the landlord ; "but if we can accommodate the little man, we had better do so," The lady professed her readiness to discharge the rites of hospitality, but declared that there wa3 not a vacant apartment in the house. "Give him my room, aunt," said the pretty niece; "I will sleep with the children, or any where you please." The young lady was a visiterr and a great favorite; and the elder lady was altogether opposed to putting her to any discomfort, particularly ca account of such a rude man. But the niece carried her point, and arrangements were made accordingly. la a few minute, the silent man was conducted by the landlord to a very handsomely furnished apartment in the back part of the house. Every thing here was of the neatest and best kind. A suit of curtains hung round the bed ; the counterpane was white as snow, and the bed linen was fresh and fragrant. The dandy walked round the room, examining every thing with the air of a man who fancied his life in danger from some contagious disease, or venomous reptile. He threw open the bed clothes, and , after inspecting them, exclaimed, "I can't gleep in that bed!" "Why not sir?" inquired the astonished landlord. "It's not clean ! I can't sleep inii!" repeated the dandy, strutting up and down with the most amusing air of self importance. "I wouldn't sleep there for a thousand dollars!" "Take care what you say," said the landlord, "you are not aware that I keep the best house in all this country, and that my wife is famed for the cleanliness of her house and beds!" "Can't help it," replied the dandy, very deliberately surveying himself in a mirror; "very sorry, sir awkwaid business to besure,but to be plain with you, I wont sleep in a dirty bed to please any man." "You wont, wont yuui" "No sir, I will not." "Then 1 shall make you!" said the landlord, and seizing the astonished dandy by the back of the neck, he led him to the bed, and forced his face down upon it- "look at it," continued the enraged Tennessean; "examine it smell it do you call that bed dirty, I you puppy !" Then going to the door, 1 he called to a servant to brii.g him a j horse-whip, and informed the terrified j dandy, that unless he undressed ud j went to bed instantly, he should order ! his negro to horse-whip him. In vain j the mortified youngster promised to do j all that he required of him; the land-j lord would trust nothing to his word,1 but remained until his guest wasdis-i robed, corsets and all, and snugly r.es- j tied under the snow white counterpane. It was nearly breakfast time when the crest fallen strarger made his appearance in the morning. To his surprise, his steed, who had evidently faied as well as himself, stood ready saddied at the dcor. UP ra y ; i r aid h( to his host, in an, humble lone, aiid in a "manner which showed him at a loss how to begin the conversation, t;pray sir, at what hour do you breakfast" "We breakfast at eight,5' was the reply, 4'but the question is one in which you can have little interest, fur ycu must seek a meal elsewhere." 'Surelv, my dear sir, you would net ,

treat a gentleman with such indignr ty "March1." said the landlord.

"My bill- ' - j "Yuii owe mc nothing: I should think myself degraded by receiving your money ." In another moment the self important mortal, who the evening before had ridden through the town with such a consciousness of his own dignity, was galloping away , degraded, vexd and humbled. As he passed along, the same back woodsman, who had gone to ascertain the fact of his vitality on his first arrival, met him and pulling off his hat said very civilly, "stranger, vour girth is under vour horse!'' The dandy reined up his steed, jumped clT and found that his girth was indeed under the horse where it cught to be. "Do you mean to insult me?" exclaimed he, turning fiercely upon the back woodsman; but the latter, instead of replying, coolly remaiked to his companion?, "If it an't alive I'll agree to be shot ;" and walked on. "Who is that young man?" inquired the judge of the circuit court, as the stranger rode cff. "He is a Philadelphia Dun," replied the landlord. "I am no wiser than before," said his honor. "Have you lived in our country so long, and not known this race of men? ;cir, they are the collectors, sent out by eastern merchants to collect their debts. Although they come from different cities, they all go under one general denomination ; some of them are fine young men, but too many are like yonder chap." 1 'But how do you knoiv this to be one of them?" "Oh, bless you, I know them well; 1 read the history of that youth, in his motions,- before he was in my house five minutes. One year ago he could bow and smile like a French dancing master, skip over a counter, and play a3 many tricks as a pet monkey. He is just out of his apprenticeship, promoted to the dignity of a Dun, and mounted on a fine horse, and you knov tne old proverb, 'set a beggar on horseDack 'I understand the whole matter," replied the judge, .and very gravely walked into the house, while the younger members of the bar were roaiing with laughter at this odd adventure of the Philadelphia Dun.
