At this moment Pippin, with eounsenance
interned with indignatioa, enter sii the room.
"1 really wish," said he, that we had never
helped the stranger out of the ditch. He has
no politeness Did you notice his mocking
smile when I proposed to my poem?"
"And when you did read your beautiful ode
he did not hear three words of it," said Miss
Spindle.
"He continually ogled Missßosa, wko sat op

- fie Liu no cute for literature," continued
Pippin, -I pity him 'from the bottom of my

be has not displayed ibem here, that is oortain.
"Flo has no manners "

"No refinement "
"If he goes to witnem the ceremony, to mor

"Thank God!" exclaimed Van Dam, "the chil

ed the room, "I am glad that you have come.
Tell us, does the young gentlemen in the city
resemble this Mr Eager!!!
"All who pretend to be well educated."
"Indeed'.-
"Ile i. ; low fellow!" said Miss Spindle.
"Ile mak.a bread balls!" exclaimed Mrs

necessary that a person should close his eyes
when the blessing is asked. It is only expected
that he should behave himself decorously dur

fun, give zest to the entertainment. In short,
evi-r)thing which would contribute to the dis
comfort or restraint of a guest in the family

whin• indignation, at the word madam, knew nu
bounds. "Some people find nothing interest
ing in reasonable conversation There was a
time when old age was respected, and a man
like m) brother, the Burgomaster, would have
beeu heard and admired. Good evening, sir "
She preformed a deep ourtesy and made her
exit from the room.
"I hope that your sister is not angry with
me "
"You must know, Mr. Eager," said Van
Dam, "that my sister is no madam. She is
Miss Charlotta Spindle," and the worthy Post
master, brimfull of wrath, took his departure.
"It was only an innocent blunder," said &-
ger Ihrnlug to Pippin.
"Only an uneducated man blunders," said
Pippin, and, with lofty strides he left the room.
"Such things are excusable in i chreeful and
ucidl circle of friends," continued Eager.
•"We do not meet, for the purpose of being
gay," said Mn. Holtakof, "but to eejoy the
bountirs of God, with due gravity," and she al-

"It Is necessary that we should forego Zhu
vanities and pleasures of this world," staid' Mrs.
Edelnur, and she followed her friend.
"Not the pleasures, certainly," repled Eager.
"If it was not for the Governor," thought
the Burgomaster, as he pulled his wig firmly
over his forehead, "I would give him a piece of
my mind also "
Roes approached Eager, sad unobserved by
her father, she whispered: "Yon rapidly
winning the of the whole family. Speak ,
to my father ere it be too late " Then with $
flattering heart ands trembling lip she hasten
! ed from the apartment, and sought her own lit
' tle room to wait anxiously the result of her
lover's interview with her father.
"Well, Mr Eager," said the Bargoatamer,"
we will Dow speak of the ram —" •
"Oh, sir, if you should mpeak to me of every

I have a hope, a desire which lies near my
heart."
"I love your daughter, Roes "
"Indeed!"
"I wish to marry her." •
"0, sir, you bower me "
"I have some property now, and have good
prospects before me. "
"I congratulate you."
"One thing only remains to complete toy hap
piness. May 'depend upon you?"
"You may command me, sir "
"I am a man of a few words, I will state my
ease to you honorably, and expect to /i.,eove an
honorable answer from yon."
"Do you imagine, Mr. Eager, that I alone am
to decide. It is my duty to consult with my
brother, sister sad friends, in this matter It
shall be concluded by their *dries."
"Speak with them immediately. I will go out
into the garden and anxiously wait the result."
After Eager had departed, the Burgomaster
held the following ..01iloqui:
"Let me see, let me bee Lovers seem to
rain down upon my house. Is this the manner
in which a man should propose for the hand of
a Burgomaster's daughter? He should be
visiting terms at least six months with the fami

it wasn't for the Governor, 1 would soon rid my
house of him. But then I wish him to carry a
report of to-morrow's ceremony to the city, that
all may know that the Burgomaster of Snooee
stadt knows how to administer justice impartial

He proceeded to the window, and calling to
Margaret, direeted her to request his Siiter, his
brother, Mrs Holtsitoff, and Mrs Edeluarr, to
come into the parlor immediately, at he had an
important matter to place before them. In a
few momenta they appeared, all eager to Ivan]
what it was be wished to impart to them
"Here we are, - said Miss Spud' , ,

"I wish a family coosultetteu
"What about'" inquired Mrs Ifoltidioff and
Mrs. gdelnarr in one voice

"Gentl.-men from um city do not always make

"At another time, ladies, if you please," said

for the evil which the telegraphic ree.ird would
cause to live after him He was a brave man for
his country iu war, as well as a desperate one iL
defence of his own perhaps too sensitive honor, in
peace He was prompt, gallant, and distin,:ui4-
ed in the Volunteer Service in Mexico, in 1847,
under General Taylor He was the first to scale
the Black Fort at Monterey, and for his intrepi
dity in placing the Stars and Stripes on its cap
tured walls, was marked and pierced by the ene
my with wounds under which Le suffered the
most agonizing pains for five or six months, and
chafed that he could not be rid of them to bear
his part on the field of Buena VlA**, within a few
miles o' where he was invalided
The personal s•ory of Col. McClung, though a
sanguinary one, is not without its reliefs. He
was called a desperate duelist; not that he was
by nature blood-thirsty, or loved the practice for
the rot renown it brought him, but because
when he did fight in this way, which was not
often, he made no compromises for the chances of
life; and exacted as well as granted, the extreme
terms of the code, as practiced iu Mississippi, fif
teen or twenty years ago, when extravagance, and
desperation in every department of life, appeared
for a season to run not —His first meeting was
in 1833 or 1834, with a min by the name of
Allen: The weapons, pist , .ls, to be fired at ten
peaees, or while advauciug nearer 'o each other,
and then the use of the bowie-kuife Allen fell.
The second meeting was five years afterwards, or
more, with young Mennifee, at Vickbnrgh, the
brother of Richard 11. Menuifee, member of Con
gress from Kentucky, in 1838—'39. The weap
on, the rifle; both parties excellent shots, but
Mennifee fel at the second fire. There may have
been'other altercations in which he was engaged,
but they are not now remembered These two
fatal transactions gave a notoreity to the man
which he was far from being proud of, and the
public recollection of which he endeavored to
deface, in his riper years, by political and mili
tary service, first as the head of the whig press to
Mississippi it' the Presidential campaign of 1840;
then as Marshal of the United States for the
Northern District of the State, and afterwtrds as
a volunteer to Mexico, the Lieutentint Colonel of
his regiment. ' After the war he was the political
friend of General Taylor, not to the exclusion of
Mr. Clay, of whose neighborhood in Kentucky
McClung was a native, but in default of his no
minadon at Philittielphis. Under his administra
tion be was appointed to a diplomatic station as
Charge d'Affaires to Bolivia, South America, the
Cipital of which, far in the interior of the cotm
try, he no doubt had too much &Scully to find
to be impressed by its greatness or captivated by
its mobil or political attractions. He returned
to the United States after a two years residence
near the Bolivian Government, in the year 1861,
since when we bad heard little of him until the
present dreadful announcement of death by kiss
own hand. His age roust have oettn about 45
years.
