THE BACHELOR'S BUTTON-
Sotno years n^o, when I wns a single
mnn nml tlronmin^ (as some single men
tlo) of double bliss yet destined to nr-
rive, I went to n concert nt Musical Hall
in Hostnn. Mueio is poetically and
proverbinlly ‘the food of love/ and in
my sentiinentul state, I consumed a
grout deni of it ; not tlint I Imd tiny
object in view. Mine was abstract love ;
I cultivated it, I increased my atook, ho
tlint I might have n good dual of the
tender pniaion on hand, whenever I
saw an eligible opportunity of investing
it. Well, to rotuin to tho concert, it
wns crowded to excess, and tho rush on
leaving, to reach culm and carriages,
whs very great. I wore, on this memnr-
ublo night, it blue coat with brass but
tons, and lbiltered myself there were
worse looking men in the room. I tell
you candidly, I admired myself, und next
.to myself tho other party 1 was struck
with, was n girl, with dark eyes und
black hair, who sat with some young
friends a few forms distant. I hoped
she noticed me and my h'tio coat with
black buttons. I looked »t her often
enough to attract her attention to both ;
and being, ns my fritnds would say, in
rather a spooney state, worked my
self In a towering passion—of h,ve.—
Hut libw wns l to count to the object of
my mini ration, for I was as dilli'h
You could have brained nto with my 1
Indy’s Tan. I snw nt n glnncohow mat
ters stood—in tho excitement and Hurry
of undoing the loop from my button, the
lu.ly had undnno tho clasp of her own
bracelet, which hud not unnaturally,
(alien into the coat skirt wills which she
was engaged, and doubtless, on missing
it instead of regarding mo in a romantic
light, she put it down that I was nuo of
tho swell mob, and hud purposely en
tangled myself In her dross to rob her
of her jewelry.
lloru wns an anti-heroic position to
find one's self in, when I wished to bs
considoied the most devoted of knights,
to ho romotnherad only as the most ex
pert of pick-pockets. Was ever nn
honest lover in such a plight ? And to
mnku it worse, i could not sec how 1
was to escape from this inevitable dilem
ma. I must go down to the grave re
membered only in tho dear omi's mind
ns the nefarious purloincr of her braco-
let. To find her out wns impossible,
but a blight idea struck me, ns my eyes
lighted on a newspaper lying on the
ci fieo room table. I sut down and
wrote an advertisement, in tho following
won Is:
‘If the Indy whoso dress got onlnnglod
in a genlcmun's coat button, mi leaving
I ho concert last Wednesday, will call at
: or send to the Trent out lintel, she wilj

THE DUEL BETWEEN GEN- JACKSON AND
MR. DICKFREON.
Tho following details of tho duel be
tween Andrew Jackson and Mr. Dick
erson were related by Dr. James Over
ton, an old resident of Tennessee, re
cently deuunsed. Gen. Jucksdft wns
never oomiiiunioutivo upon the subjuc of
thu duel, and the doctor related it as he
heard it from hi* own uncle, Gen. Thorn
es Overton, a neighbor nnd bosom friend,
ns well as second in this nfluir, of Old
Hickory.
Gen. Jackson and Dickerson's father-
in-luw, named Erwin, had some misun
derstanding, probably about Imrsos nml
horse racing. The son-in-law (Dicker-
son) undertook to resent U«o nflront.—
Hu, already a good shot, repaired to
Natchez, und there spent six months,
his chief employment being practice
with a pistol. Returning to Nashville,
Dickerson di.ipntched one of his friends
to Jackson, with n letter extremely abu
sive of tho Gcnsrsl, and reflecting
thu virtue of his beloved wife.
3 lie messenger staled that if tho Gen
eral would not reply with a challengo
tho letter would bo published in the
newspapers. The challenge was sent.
Col. Arlhibald Overton, who was a
brother lo the relator ol these pni tiehluis,
and who at that time studied law ia
General Jackson's office, saw the let-
tor of instructions given to tho General's
second, Gen T. Overton- It concluded
in these winds : 'Accept no apology;
nothing but his blood will aullsfy tin*.’
Time nml place wore Appointed, and
tlm affair, it seems, was well known in
Nnslivifo, for tinning oilier fuits to give it

Jacks.m's family had no knowledge
whatever of the tiff dr. Un tho appoint
ed day Gen. Jackson nml Overton,
Without saying a word or creating any
suspicion about tho mm of their jour
ney, started for the rendezvous. Dick
pTson nml Ids second, Dr. C'ultiil, were
not no the ground, alul they waited n
c.om-ideiublo tune before they arrived.—
Gen. Overtun, who was as imperious
as (’tioar, and as stormy aa a tempest,
walked up to ruciuvo them : ‘Gentlemen,
why did yon let us wait so long; or is
it your manners to let old men wnit for
ymiugones ?’
His policy was to confuse Dickerson,
but lie could not succeed. ‘Dickerson
was one of the bravest of men, and his
handling the pistol the most skillful I

at pleasure turn up head or tail. The

upon him, and he ordered the two an

word. Dickursuu tired, and Gen. Over
