One Andrew Homer, n resident in Curlis'e, '
went to tilasgow to publish a volume of poems,
much admiied by himscK Oddly enough, on
his wny homo, lie strayetl out of the direct mad
into Ayr, where he met with Hums at u public
house, nnd soon boon Companions ect the poet
errant, nnd the 'poet resident (whoso fame was
then nnninde) to try their strength in a tnntch
of versc-nmkinnr. An ctvirram was the subject
chosen, because, ns Andrew internally argued,
'it is the shortest of nil ki. iiis." In compli
ment to him the company resolved that disown
merits should supply the theme. lie com- j
nieneed, I
"In seventeen hnii. ler thr. -tty nine"
nnd he paused. lie then said, "Ye sec I was
born in 17H!t, (the real date was some years
earlier.) so I nuk thai the comnienceme:i'."
lie then took pen in hand, folded his paper with
n conscientious mr of nulhorship, stpmred him
self to the table like one who considered it no
trifle oxen to wnU n letter, nnd slowly put
'own, in giKid round hand, ns if he had been
mnking nut a bill of pi reels, the line,

The subject of this stinging stanza had thegood
s.'iise mil to be offended with its sntirc, cheerful-
ly paid the wnger, set to for a iiiyht's revelry
' with his new Iriends, and thrust his poems be-
j tween the bars of the grate, when "the mint'
j hours" came on to four in the mnruiii". As his
, isetio rival then kindly rolled 1111 the hearth
' ruir in a on iet corner of I he room, to servo as a
pillow for the vanquished rhymer, then, literal-
ly, a rurnl kniuht, the old man, better prophet

u ilhy once said: "I tell you, honestly, what I

inaudi.ing, ami shilling, and stimulating the di
1 epstive nrenns to excess, thereby creating irn
It.tion. The state of their minds is another
grand causc-tho fidgeting nud discontenting
themselves about that which cannot ho helped
passions of all kinds; malignnnt passions and
world's cares pressing on the mind, disturb the
central actiun, and doa gr en ideal of harm."

call out a figure of a reel" in (Ieorgia :
"Ha ncc to the gal with the yellow shawl on

In passing through Anderson district, some
yenrs since, I heard Mrs. Stephenson, a vene
rable matron, who had heen the youthful nc
(pinintnncc of Oen. Andrew Jackson during the
revolutionary war. I was induced by curiosi
ty. ns well ns respect for the chnractcr of this
estimable old lady, to visit one who had been
the companion of our illustrious Kx-President,
in the days of his boyhood snd obscurity. I
found Mrs. Stephenson all that she had been
represented to be nn intelligent, kind heart
ed and fine looking old matron full of conversa
tion nnd anecdotes of the "old war." She was
horn in the neighborhood of the Wnxsaws, in
Iioieester district S. C. and there grew up with
the future "hero of New Orleant." The mo
ther ot Andrew Jackson, and her three sons,
were well known to Mrs. Stephenson. Andrew
wns the youngest, and about her own ngc.
They were sent to the same school, and their
parents lived very near toench other. Thcfa-
ther of Gen. Jackson died before Mrs. Stephen-
sons recollection, j:id shortly after his settle
ment in South Carolina. He and his wife wcrc
mth from Ireland. At the commencement of
the revolutionary struggle in South Carolina,
Andrew was going to grammar school, kept in
the meeting house of Wnxsaw neighborhood,
As the contest grew warm the school was tlisi-
oiiimued, and the meeting house burnt down
11 the mean time, one of Andrew's brothers
lied, and the other entered the services of his
country. I luring the war this other brother
also died with the small pox.
The axsaw neighborhood, at one period of
the revolution, wns the sent of war in the South-
r it country, and wad laid iilmost entirely deso
late, and lei! without inhabitants. It was du
ruiy this distressing period thnt Andrew him
self, then a youth of 1 1 or !." yenrs of age,
j lined the army. The pnrticulnrs of his ser
vices were unknown to Mrs. Stephenson. She
understood, however, thnt he wns taken priso
ner by the Rritish, nnd heard thnt he hud re
ceived a blow from nn oflicer with his sword,
t'or not performing some menial office during
his imprisonment. There wcte two cousins of
Amltew'g in the army with him. One of them
wns killed and the other tnken prisoner.
Whilst a prisoner of war in Charleston he was
taken sick, nnd his aunt, Mrs. Jnckson lost her
life in nttcinpting to visit him. She fell a vic
t m to the climate and sorrow, and her nephew
soon followed. This left Andrew without a re
lation on this side of the Atlantic a boy and
utmost n stranger in a new country. The lit
tle property which his family possessed had
hern plundered nnd destroyed.
When the country was restored to pence, he
found himself in no very ngreenble situation
destitute ot a home, relations, friends and mo
ney, l.'mlcr these circumstances, he made the
hou-e of a Mr. White bis home. White was
the uncle of Mrs. Stephenson, and n saddler by

The Mule Coqaettf,
There is nothing on earth more despicable:
than your ncknowledged mnlc coquette. He ia
nn anomaly in the human character, a mon
ster in tho world. He plays a part for which,
nature never designed him the Joan d'Arc of
civil life. Coquetry, with a female is pnrdon-
ublo for it is nnturnl. We believe till the sex
nrc ntore or less inclined to it. It. is not con
fined to one country nor one religion: It is per
ceptible in the tawny Indtnn girl and the dark
faced African. It flaunts in the atmosphere of
fashionahb extravagance, and looks out from a
pair of roguish eyes, beneath the drab bonnett
of tho Quakeress. It is a pnrt ot the femnle)
chnractcr, -and, with some restrictions, a very
excellent part. It promotes personal neatness
and decorum ol habit it bends every faculty of
the mind to the desire of pleasing it devclopes
every Intent charm of intellect. It is that which
renders the conversation of women, even of or
dinary talents, frequently far more agreeable
than thnt ot a man, whose mind has been highly
cultivated, and whose powers of fancy are bril
liant and superior. Woman's wit is seldom ex
erted for tho mcro purpose of shining in con
versationit is rather called forth by a pre
dominant desire to please, and this is co
quetry in its legitimate sense, in its proper
spere. The idea ot La Rochefoucauld "ic
f mnu pciivenl moinc surmnnlrr Irvr oujurl
leirr, que hum passions," is not true, at least
so far as our observation has extended. Co
quetry and passion arc almost always united in
the femnle heart. They hold a natural anil salu
tary check over eachother. And it is well that
they do so. They prevent alike premature and.
disgusting fondness, and cold-hearted vanity
nud self-love.
Hut your man coquette (Heaven forfend m
from him)- he is undeserving ofthe least cha
rity. With him the words ofthe Treacher are
verified, "Vanity, vanity all is vanity." It in
a cold and selfish purpose a hallow hearted
love of triumph a brutal carclcssnessof wrong
ed and outraged feeling a morbid desire 0! in
teresting in himself, hearts, of whose pangs and,
struggles ho recks not whose affection ho
would call forth, that the multitude may envy
him its possession, not to meet its full flow of
confiding tenderness, by the sympathy of his
own colli and indurated bosom. It is nn un
profitable monopoly ot that attention from tho
other sex, w hich he scorns to repay with hon
orable love.

beside myself while a bachelor, I should never
have been placed in this situation."
