Tilgh man was quick tolverceive this, and it greatly ela ted him. In the exultation of his feelings, he said to bin:l:self—. - " VII show this Columbus man that rm worth a dozen of him. .!,, The boldest wins the fair. I would not give much for his engagement," - Tilghman was a merchant, and visited the east twice every ydar for the purpose of buying goods. Last,Auguskhe crossed the mountains as usual.— Some usea.Mien they leave home and go among strangers,leave all the little good breeding they may happen to have had behind them. Such a man vvo Illghman.' The moment- he stepped hate a stiunboat, stage, or railroad car, the every one-for-himself principle by which he was govern ed, maniiested itself in all its naked deformity, and it was: at once 'cunciuded by all with whom he came in contact that, let him he who he would, he was no gentleman. ' On going up tee ricer. on the occasion referrfid to, our gentleman went on the Gee and easy prin ciple, as wasusual with him when in public convey • ancea ; consulting his own inclinations and tastes alone. and running his elbows into any and every body's ribs that h appened" to come in his way. He was generally first at the table when the ball Meg, and, as he had a good- appetite, managed, While there, to seedre a full share of the delicacies provi ded for the company-- . ..: - , , " Every one for himself," was the thought in his Mind on these occasions; and his actions fully agreed with his thonghts. , ' On Cros,sing the mountains in Stages as far as Cumberland, his greedy. selfish, and sometimes downitht boorish propensities annoyed his fellow passengers, and particularly a young Tan of quiet, refined, and gentlemanly . deportment, who could not, atlimes, help showing' the disgust he felt.— Because be paid his half dollar fur meals st the taverns on the Way, Tilghman seemed to feel him- • self licensed to gormandize at a beastly rate. The moment he sat down to the table, he would seize eagerly upon the most. desirable dish near him, and approppate at least a half; if not two-_ thirds: of what it &attained, regardless utterly of his fel low-passengers. Then be would call fortho next most desirable dish,-.if he could, not reach it, and help himself after a like liberal fashion.,. In eating he seemed more like a hungry log, in his eager mg than a man possessing a grain of decency.— When this time come to part company with him. his fellostr-travellers rejoiced at .being rid of, one whose utter selfishness filled them with disgust. 'id Philadelphia and New York,, where Tilgh man felt:tint he was altogether unknown, he in `dinged his tniciyilized prapensities to their full ex tent. At one of the hotels; just before leaving N. York to return to Baltimore, and there to take the care for` the West apiti, he met the young man referred to as a travelling Companion; and tonlorh ed the fact that. he recognized frequently air 'fervid him. ~.Under thus observation, as it seemed l i teihave iainehiog sinister in it, Tilghman felt, at times, ii little uneasy, and, at theotel table, rath- • er Curbed liis greediness when individual was present. • - 1 , .. : - ' - - , . th F r ..,p: ' i; be ieft, New York in the twelve o'clock. boat, toollio pass on g toto HAlG:nose in the night ine „ train Philadelphia, and experienced a sense ,train relief in getting.rid of the preseace of one who Appeared to, know, hien and , to have taken a prejtv, dice against him.

But he thought of nothing but securing hie provender. At length he received his turkey, when he ordered certain vegetables, and then began eating greedily, while but eyes were every moment glanong along the table to see wbat else there was to tempt his palate. " Waiter !" he called, ere the first mouthful was fairly swallowed. The waiter came. " Have you any oyster sauce I" u No, sir." " Great cooks I Turkey' without oyster sauce I Bring me a Slide of ham." "Bottle of ale, waiter," 'awn after issued froth his lips. The ale was brought, the cork drawn, and the botttle set beside Tilghman, who, in his baste. poured his tumbler two-thirds full ere the contace l of the air bad produced effervescence. Tim con sequence was that the liquor flowed, suddenly, over the glass, and spread its creamy foam for the space of four or five inches around. Several per sons. sittingnear by bad takers the more interest m our young gentleman who was looking after 'num ber one than in the dinner before them ; and when this litttle incident occurred, could not suppress a titter. • Hearing this, Tilghman became - suddenly coo scinus of the ludicrous- he made, and glanced quickly from face to face.

Tilgh man as the death-blow to all his hopes of winning her for his bride. With the subsidence of hishopes went his appetite; and with, that he went also— that is, front the table. without so much as waiting . for the dessert. On the forward deck be ensconc ed himself until the boat reached Amboy, and then 'lie took good are not to push his way into the la dies',car, a species:of self-denial to which he was noo accnstomed. Six months afterwards—he did not venture to call nn Miss Walcot—Tilghman read the announce ment of the young ladies' marriage to a Mr. Walk er, and not long afterwards met her in company ivith her hnsand. He provecltobe the traveling companion who had been so disgusted with his boorish eguduct when on his last :trip to.the east.. Our young gentleinan has behaved himself rath er better since when from home; and we trust that ' some other young gentleman who are too much in the habit of "taking care of number one" when they are none strangers, will be wamesl by his mortification, and cease , to expose themselves to 'the . ridicule of well, bred people. WOYAlefi Coxsrarter.—The N. Y. Sun gives the following incident: Some four years since a young man, residing in this city, formed the acquaintance of a younglady, and after visiting her some time, it was mutually agreed that they would be joined together in the bands of wedlock. The day was determined un and wall anxious hearts they-looked forward - to the time when they should be made one. About a -week before this period arrived, the young man was called upon to deplore the loss of a fond and affectionate parent This unforteen event render. ed it necessary that the marriage day should be postponed for some months. A few weeks before this time had passed, an advantageous business ere gwmiint was proffered to the intended groom to visit California. • On consultation the bride and her , friends came to the conclusion that a. second postponeinent'Of the day would prove beneficial in the end. After spending a year in San Francisco, the young man determined to settle there •permantly, and in ac cordance with this determination wrote to the lady and requested her to join him in California ; at the same time naming the'dav for the consummation of their &lions hopes. With greittloy the lady made doe preparation for her doparture. and in ' course of time reached California. Imagine her sorrow on arriving there to find her intended hus band lying at the point of death from an attack of brain lever. Months passed by and through the providence of God the sick man was sufficiently restored to be enabled by the advice of the medi cal attendant to return to the United,States. Once more the bridal clay was named, and with joyful hearts the lovers started-for , home, deeming it advisable rot to be united until they should reach New:York... On reaching Panama, the hero of our tale Was attacked with" the Isthmus fever.. After ti f iri months of delay hem,_he recovered sufficient ) to his-journey to this city—not however ur til the fifth appointed time had passed by. 0 Tuesday last the lovers were united in one o .th up town churches.

On coming home to dinner yes terday; Mr. Tucker- met met a iimn of unprepossessing upp!anuice. in his entry. and, inquired rather un graciously what had pi*nred hiin the.honor of such an untimely visit. The person to whom this in quiry was addressed, after a moment's hesitation, took from under his fagged round-about a pair of handsome cut-glass lamps, and informed Mr. Tuck br that bking a little "hard up," at present, owing to the prevailing scarcity of silver, he was willing to sell " them . thingutaliobs for what they would fetch.". Mr: Tucker's eyes sparkled at the prospect of a good trade, but like a cunning men of business, he professed to have no use for any article of that sort; there were " more lamps in his hobse already than he knew what to do with," but as he- had.a feeling fur any nersonzhat was," hard up," he pro posed to pay one dollar for the illuminators, which ho judged to be about a fifth or iixth part of their value. The offer was accepted, the- money was paid,-and -the lamp-seller, taking a hasty leave of his customer,Misappeared -like the shadow , of- a fleeting cloud propelled by the vernal breeze.
