attractions that -were felt tei be of a most weighty
tham,cter, hy certain young nien of the town, who
made themseliesns agreeable to her as possible.
/ Among thele was'Lawrence Tilghman.
" Larry," said a friend to him one day—they
had been talking, about the young lady—" it's no
ed , tise for you to play the agreeable to Helen Wal

''"You will I"
1 " Certainly. Helen Will be,worth a plum when
dieold man, her father, dies ; and I've madame
, mind to handle some of his thousands."
, " But certainly, Larry, you would not attempt
t* interfere with a marriage contract I"
,1" I don't believe any contract exists," replied the
yriung man. "Anyhow, while a lady is single, I
regard her. as in the market, and to be won by the
baldest." ,_
r Still we should have some respect - for the
rights of others."
,l Every one for himself in this world," replied
Hlghman. 'That's my motto. •If you don't take
care of yourself; you'll be shoved -to the wall in
double quick time. , Long ago, I resolved to put
some forty or fifty';-thousand dollars between my
self and the world by marriage, and you may he
sure thAt I will nOt let this opportunity slip for
any conideratioii. i Helen must be mine." `
Additional evidence of the fact that the young
husky,: wins under engagement of marriage soon came -
In the ears of %Vim= The effect Ras to pro
duce a closer attention on his part to Helen, who,
greitly to his uneasiness, did not seem to give him '
much encouragement, although she always 'treated
him With politeneas and attention whenever he
called to see her. But it was , riot true, as Tilgh
man had. heard; that Helen was engaged to a
Young man' in Columbui; though it was true that
She was in corresponde+e with a gentleman there
named Walker, led - that their acquaintance was
intimate; and fast rippreathirg a love-like charae- '
ter Still, she was not iediffereitt to the 'former, and
as lie showed so_strong a preference fur her, be
gan gradually tUfeel an awakening interest.. 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

At length he brought up - at the _lower end of th
table.
" Waiter r he cried, as soon as he had foind
new position—" waiter, I want some. of that-roast
turkey 1"
The waiter did net hear, or was too busy with
some one else to hear. -
" Waiter, T. say 1 Here 1 This way r'
So loudly and earnestly was this uttered, that
the observation of every one at that end of the to- ,
ble was attracted toward the young man. 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. The Sist countenance
his eye rested upsin was that of the young man
who had been his stage companion ; near him was
l i e
a lady who had tilt wn back her veil, and whom
he instantly Tempi das Helen Walcott She it
was who stood bell' 1 him when the clerk ejected
him fromhischair„ nd she had been both an ear
and eyewitness of his sayings and doings since be
dropped into his prcs•ent place-ittethirtable: - fia
much had her condnet affected her with sense of
the .ridiculous, that she could suppress the smile
that curled her, lips: smile that was felt by. 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. The young lady has cer ' I
given a most satisfactory exemplification of wi
mans constancy.

occurred between Uncle Nat and Mistress Riker.
"Sle::Elit,"titaid the gOod lady," why, have you

pap us a dar‘ say, she would be pleased
to spend day or two with us, and I would en

" Why, to tell ybu the truth, Mrs. Riker," ,said
Uncle Nat, "I have been thinking about it furiome
time, but then ishe is so very deaf as to render con
versation, extremely difficult—in, fact, ,it requires
the greatest effort to make her bearanything that

luctant to mingle in the society of 'strangers."
"Never mind that," replied the importunate Mrs.
Riker, " I have a good strong voice, and if anybo•
dy can make her her hear, I can."
"If you think so and will rislc it," said' Uncle
Nat." she s hall accompany me on my next visit

•
It was finally settled hrietween the ivickedpstraittio
that the fact tlmt both theie.wives amid heartyAT
enough should be kept a profound secret, 'until dis
closed by a personal interview of the ladies them
selves,
The next time Uncle Nat was about to visit - the
farm. be suggested to his wife that a ride into the,
country Weald be of service to her ; -that Mrs. -Ri
ker, who had never seen her, was very anxious to
receive a visit from her, -- Tind preposed that she
should accompany them on that -occasion. She
readily consented. and they were soon on their
journey. They had not,.howover, proceeded far
when Uncle Nat averred that he was very sorry
to inform bertha Mrs. Riker was extremely deaf.
and that she w*ld be i tinder the necessity of ele
vating her voice tri-the highest •pitch,iri order to

she would . able to make her friend hear. In a

to the dour z- 'country •maesitin,t and Boss Riker

In the meantime Uncle Nat! and Boss Kale had'

the window, listening to the boisterous, conversa

the same elevated letter of the staff for some time.

How M.B. TUCKER BOUM'? a CHEAP PAIR Or
LAwra-..--Idr. Lemuel Tucker is a gentleman of thrif
ty and economical habits, and is particularly fund
of a -goal bargain. 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
