Fashion with Iter silken tr.iin ot varifcties,fo!lowed like a menial 'tn its footstep. About the middle of April, four years since, in a western travel, I visited a small village on the hank of the Ohio. It was a new settlement, and the only budding of note in the place was the residence of a relative of the name of Dermoid. The edifice over looked the river, which flowed ia a wide and beautiful channel a quarter fumiledUta.it. A porch in front of Hie house all.irded a delightful retreat in the sultry afternoons. A little way below, about twenty l g cabins figured in the irregular lines which comprised the extent of the village. 1 remained here some week, and soon formed a - strict friendship with young Dermond ayouthofa noble disposition in many things but entertaining strange and haughfr notions of family gentility, -which fie displayed on nil occasions in ' his intercourse with his humble townsmen. One afternoon in the heat of a - discussion, one of those f-howers which have procured for April the epithet of - "inconstant, among the months, broke suddenly over the country. Mrs. Dersnond now came out to the porch, where we were seated and requested lier son's umbrella, stating th.tayoung ,gir! a resident of the town, was in the ' bouse, having left an infant brother nInneta a cradle, ry an open window, where the rain mu?t now he breaking

Inn few mmules the couple pn?cd down before the porch, when the laughter of my friend became cxcessivc at "the burlesque of gallantry," as he termed it. The maiden, conscious that she was exposed awkward!y to our view, walked with a downcast look and reserved step, whilst -her escort with bustling attention herd trrer her a shattered leaky umbrella, and ever and anon lifted her up in his arms across the swelling rivulets. At length Dermond tuniug to me, observed that the girl was the daughter of - a boatman who was then trading down the river, with a small cargo of spirits. Her mother was dead and she was compelled to labor during her fathers absence, to support herself and ber in.fant brother. The atmosphere was clear and the a a country looked i-ii!itiil the next morning, as I started down the river. The road for a long way va lined with trees.

as a blank. I turned a hill, when the prospect bant upon my eyes like a scene of enchantment. A beautiful town, with large and regular streets a court house and a lofty church with shining steeples greeted my sight. All seemed new and tasteful. I rode up the principal street and thought within myself that the tenants of the cabins had morcd farmer west, ar.d a hiher order cf societj had supplanted them,! with whom feny Iriend might associate without compromising his exalted notions. After some inquiry I found Mr. Dermond's refidonce, which had received such a brushing up of late that 1 hardly recognized it. The bricks were painted and lined; the porch had received a w coat of white; and tin PDOIIIS tlHfi hen . frffleri olnnir (ho roof. It locked extremely well.

At mention of the name and the occupation of the father, a thought darted through my mind, and 1 hastily inquir ed if thy had long been residents of .he place. She answered with a slight blush that they were among the first settlers. 1 row ascertained, to my inexprrssihie. surprise, that the fashionable Miss Iowf II was the self same maiden whom the hired man had escorted under the leaky umbrella! In a short time the gig 1 had met on the rivei bank rolled up to the door;ycung Dermond jumped out, and with the grace of aii Italian handed into the house his amiable intended. Ilia cheeks were flushed, and his eyes all animation, as he welcomed me and gave me an introduction. During the evening much was said about coming nuptial, nnd I was entreated to wait and partake of the wedding feast. Miss IxweJI came to trie and whispered she would give me some pound cake to sleep on ;she then walked gracefully across the room to a sola. Dermond himself escorted her home that evening, and held over her a para sol, although the sun was low. Romance in real Life. Under this head New York Commercial of Thursday, relates the story of a courtship and marriage between a Son of the Forest," and a young lady, of which the following is the substance: About two-years ago, an Indian of the Chippewa nation fonr.crly said to nave ieen a man oi soir.c rani: aiow a Missionary o; tne i.ietnoa:st enure !t anion? Ins red brethren; was sent to England, to mission cau? in lnper Canada. What was his native cognomen, whctiicr it was the Ued Lightaing," or Walk in the water, we know net, but in plain English, h? is known as Mr. l'eicr Jones. Mr. Peter Jones was not only a Missionary from the wilderness and, as wc do;Lt not, a pious and Ufful man among hi own people Uut he was a bna fide Indian and of course he was made a lion of in London. He was feasted by the rich and the great. Among others, who perchance may have thought of kings b nbaic pearls ami gold," was the charming daughter of a gentleman of Lambeth, of wealth and respectability. Peter wooed the voung ladv, and prevailed in the end; to make a long -ifrtory short, a meet;rg was agreed upon, lo lake place the present season in this city, with a view of marriage. On Tuesday morning of last week, a beautiful young lady, with fairy form grace in her step and heaven in her eye -Meppeu on shore from the elegant packet siiip United States.

Still she doubted rot h;s fuiih, as the result proved, she had no need ts doubt. For, on Sun day morning, i'eter Jones arrived, and presented himself at the side of his ! mistress! The meeting wa alKfcUun-; ate, though becoming. Immediate marriage wa reoived on. On Sunday evening, we went inta tlie John S'.reet Church, and leund the . J" . v. ,,? .. trast, was never seen.

This alone startles tbe tyrant in his dreams of power, and rouee tho slumbrin energies of an oppressed people. h was intelligence that reared up the ma jestic columns of our national glory; and mis alone can prevent their crumbling to ashes. CURE TOR CONSUMPTION. A young lady ia the last stage ofconsumption, was lately restored to health by the following extraordinary and accidental remedy. She had long been attended by tbe faculty, but derived no benefit from their prescriptions, and considered herself verging to the end of existence when she retired during the summer to a val- ia the country, with the intention to wait in solititude the hoar of approaching dissolution. mie ui that situation, it was ber cus tom to rise at early as her malady would permit, and contemplate the beauties of nature and the wonderful works of God from her chamber window, f on which she observed a dog belonging to the house, with scarcely any desu on his bones, constantly o and lick the dew ofl' a camomile bed in the garden; in doing which the animal was noticed to alter his appearance, to recover strength, and finally look plump and well. The singularity of the circumstance was impressed strongly on the lady s mind, might be produced from following the 1 mm i 1 nog s example, ssne accoruingiy pro cured the dew from the same bed of camomile, drank a small quantity etch morning, and after continuing it tor isome time, experienced very sensible :... r t .

XATUJJE. -It is worth notice, that scarcely any one of tbe poets of our days who have received the ruerdun of popular ity, has neglected the stedy of human na ture. It seems now te be aa established canon, that tbe poet shall have bis eyes and ears open and be alert wherever the beauties er the sublimities ef the coon try are susceptible, taking the teraa in an aavi pie signification, as embracing earth, aad ocear and sky. It is expected of him

who puts his bands en tbe !fg4 of Vhe lyre; that "his fine spirit be touched to fine issues, by tne glory ef the sea and moon b j countless combinations, either of calm er storm, into which the winds.the clouds, and tbe waves are wrought by tbe savage graedeur of rocks and mountainsby the amenity of green wood bowers, and SBHiotb-slkriag riven, and glassy lake by the tints of odors of flowers by the voices of birds, and animals and Insects and bj hundreds of other objects from without; alt of which were "doJTd aside" by tbe rhyme of Qeeen Anne's and the first George's time; er if alluded to at all, the picture was aet drawn from the originals, but from Virgil pastorals or some other time hallowed exemplar for common place books and common place memories. The imagination also was ia these times allowed to be dormant, as far as respected its magical dealings with out-of door materials. In the poet; ry of the wits, we can

expect none of those impalpable gossamer links, which are too fine for the touch of reason; but which wave visibly before the eye of fancy, and form perceptible connexions between ideas tbe must romote. Tbey knew nothing of that feeling which makes us love the moonlight for better reason than that of its allowed Us to dis pense with a lantern which aees some thing beyond much valuable timber, while we rove ia mid -day darkness, beneath tbe extravagant arms of a western forest, and which can exalt a daisy or a primrose into a potent talisman, having command over the treasures ia the cells of memory or affection while to the true prosaid man, "a primrose by a river's brim, A yellow primrose is to him, And it is nothing more.
