All tliese jthings combined, soon soothed my ntindinto la sweet and indescribable calmness, anil I Isoon began to indulge my usual propensity | for waking dreams. In a few moments the i objects around tne began to grow dim and in j distinct, and to float and mingle together in istraugedisorder ; and, finally, a mist seemed !to gather before my eyes. Soon, however, it j melted aw ay, and left my vision perfectly clear, but every thing seemed to have under 'gone a magical change. The carpet was al tered into a beautiful variegated lawn, —the toilet into a delightful arbour, clothed with ! vines and foliage,—the phials seemed trans formed into little sylphs, or faries, who spor ted merrily among the leaves and flowers; the lavatory appurtenances sunk into the earth, and became a clear crystal fountain ; and the bed assumed tits appearance of a flowery bank, where every thing beautiful in the botani cal creation grew in great luxuriance, in the midst of which the fair Olivia reclined, appa | rently in a sweet slumber. ! As I was gazing upon Iter, she awoke, but did not appear to observe me. The sylphs in stantly gathered around her, and each prof fered its aid to restore the bloom and loveli ness which sleep had partially cltsse I away. One brought water from the fountain, and sprinkled it upon her eyes, which straightway a-sumed a most fatal brilliancy; another gathered lilies and roses, and shook them over her pale cheek and brow, which quickly res tored the former to a brilliant whiteness, and the latter to the loveliest carnation glow; and another nestled in her hair, arid with small white fairy fingers drew up the long dis hevelled tresses, and twisted them into lux uriant curls. Presently the lady arose tran scendently lovely, beyond the dream of a po et,and surveyed herself in the fountain,while a blush, and a triumphant sinile overspread her countenance. At this moment a little winged boy, whom 1 recognized as the god of love, came flying joyfully around her, and drawing an arrow from his quiver,lie beckoned her to follow. She obeyed, a...1 was soon out of sight. As I lost the last glimpse of her form, 1 breathed a deep sigh, when one of the little beings came up, and after regarding me for some time, burst into a hearty laugh, and, going to the fountain, dipped up some water in a pearl colored shell, which he brought and held up towards me. I looked into it, but instead of the reflection of my self, I beheld the fair Olivia. She was sea ted upon a rustic bench upon the bank of a streamlet, and under a large tree. A small, pale, intellectual-looking young man, was seated by her side. It was evening, but the moon shone bright upon the scene, and 1 could easily observe what passed. The youth took her band, and as lie looked into her eyes her face was overspread with a crimson blush. Presently be knelt down and from the rapid motion of bis lips, and the ardent glance of liiscye, seemed to be talking to her of love. The color of the beautiful Olivia changed rapidly front red to pale, like the tints of a morning sky, as lie proceeded ; at length, he clasped her hand which he held in both his, and drew it unresistingly to his lips. The lady bent down her head, the youth looked up into her eyes, their lips met, and a kiss, “A long drawn kiss, a kiss of youth and love,” was exchanged between them. At that mo ment, the svlph threw down the shell, and, running to the bank, plucked a flower, and threw it into the fountain ; she then took up the shell, and again dipped it into the water, and brought it to me. t looked in, and a gain saw the fair Olivia, but the scene was changed to one which I instantly recognized to lie the parlour of her father’s house. Another person was seated bv her side, in whom 1 recognized a young member of the bar, an acquaintance of mine. He seemed lobe upon a very intimate footing with her, and front the lender air with w hich lie regar hied her, 1 conjectuied what was to follow. ; lie soon apparently commenced unburdening his mind, and did it much in the same style as I had seen him when lie made his debut in court in a very delicate cause. The lady sighed, blushed and smiled, and finally al lowed him to kiss her fair' hand, just, as the sylph again thie.v down the shell. Another scene was presented to me, in the same manner as before, and a person ap peared as the lady’s suitor, not dissimilar in appearance to Mr. Simpson, in Sir Croesus Mushroom. 11c knelt down with more court ly grace than 1 could have anticipated, and the lady received his addresses with a smile of triumphant gratification. Again the scene changed, and a young mer chant appeared, whom 1 knew to possess a handsome fortune, and a character of sterling I worth and integrity, with good sense, and an accomplished and cultivated mind. He told his tale with a mixture of respeet, arid admi ration, and love ; but 1 could not ascertain whether his oilers were rejected or accepted. The. next was an elderly gentleman, who bad retired from business, with a large for tune and the gout. His suit was made some thing after the fashion that T beard him drive a bargain upon ‘Change; and, from an occa sional resort to his fingers, he appeared to be ![rjvintr hes an inventory of bis worldly effects, j Her answer did not seem to phase him; and die presently arose and walked oil', apparently |tn something ofa passion.

Presently the lady Olivia appeared, and threw herself listlessly on the bank.—She seemed somewhat vexed, and did not look altogether as lovely as when I had before beheld Iter; Cupid, who had followed, seemed to partake, ,iu some measure, of her sullen humor, and he stood leaning upon his bow, chewing the feather of one of his arrows. 1 “Come hither, inf little love.” said the la i <ly,“t have an account to settle with you.” The boy approached carelessly, and placing one hand upon her knee, was about to kneel down, when she drew him upon her lap. “You are a false traitor,” said the lady. Did you not promise, that, with the aid of my charms, you would pierce the heart of some j gallant youth, who would make me his bride.” ! “Ave, lair lady, I did even so,” answered the bov, “and have I not fulfilled my promise. Instead of one, a dozen have been sighing at thy feet, within a brief period.” “ True, but there was none among them suited my fancy. Did vou not promise me i that?” “And pray, let me ask, what have I had hut thy own commands to guide me? Have not j all, save one, been those whom thou hast ! pointed out tome/—Wherever thv bright eyes ' have rested, tiierc has my bow been bent,and ' a look from thee has winged the arrow to its merle. Thou wilt not deny this? I “.No: but— “ Dot tliincown fickleness, vanity, and in constancy,/.ave prevented tliee from fixing up on any. The conquest of a heart was only the signal for thee to cast it off. Nothing but continual change and novelty could please thee. Thou hast spurned all who have knelt to thee, even those whom thou didst most long after! And now thou dost quarrel with me, ! who have been the humblest of thy slaves. 1 But I will be so no longer.” ! “Nav, but sweet hov, be patient,” said the lady: which of my suitors would you have me accept.” “Either of them would have had the worst |of the bargain, unless marriage cured thee of thy coquetry and love of change ! Even old j Punctual, the merchant.” ■ “What! a man old enough to be my father. “The better chance of his quickly leaving I thee a gay young widow, with money enough to buy ;t young husband. But if not the old .one, why not the young merchant, Henry Wallingford, lie is handsome, sensible, gen teel, and richer than yourself.—What more | could you expect or desire ?” “Yes, but—” j “Nevermind the buts—if you would none of him, why not Sir Hector Grecnturf, the Englishman—There was wealth and rank, i two things which iiate an especial favor in j the eyes of woman ; and surely, you might ’ have dispensed with the of rank and | gentility.” “Would you have me marry a fool?” “Few of your sex would make it an objec tion : but why not young Merival, the lawyer. He is a promising young man is now in the legislature, and is talked of for ! congress. lie may be President of the U. S. vet ?” “Yes, but ho was too hasty ; and beside?, lie ttould not be sufficiently devoted to his wife. Ambition would contend with love lot ; the mastery.—Surely, you would not advise me to unite myself with one whose heart was I not wholly given up to pure love?” I “Humph!” answered the boy ;—then where is young Percival, the sentimental youth, who improvised sonnets to your bright eves, by moonlight, and swore yon were fairer than the goddess whose dutiful son 1 have the hon ,or to be. He was in love deep enough, Hea ven knows, for nothing short of it would ever have made him commit the absurdities iri rhyme which he has.” A deep blush overspread the face of the fair Olivia, as the boy was speaking; and, af ter a pause, she answered in a tone that seemed to indicate a slight degree of shame and regret— “He is, as you say, a sentimental youth, which is an insuperable objection ; and then he is poor, which is still worse.” “And yet lie told you so, and you made a very pretty speech in reply, setting forth that you did not sell veur heart for gold, and that his love was a prize beyond the power of wealth to increase, or some nonsense of the , same nature. But he is no longer poor nowJ He is rich.” “I am schooled, dear Cupid,* said the lady, | “and I will reform ; and, as you say Percival is rich, bring him back to tnc, arid I’ll take him.” 1 “Aye, but when I said he was rich, I forgot to mention how became to he so. You sure- J ly cannot be so mad as to suppose a poet could ! become rich by his own industry ; —he is married.” “Married !” “Aye, as soon as he found that you grew coin towards him, he first wrote a most la mentable long ode upon the falsehood of wo man, and then went and offered himselftotbc j oldest daughter of old Nicholas Nankin, the rich meichant at P ; she is very pret ty, bating her red hair, and tiirued-up none, and the slight bend in Iter shoulders- Time, however, had been so unmannerly as to give some symptoms of Imr being on the wrong side of thirty, and the old gentleman thought, that a poet might, perchance, t»c better lor a hus band than iiuiu. Bo Mr. P:rciiat became the lord ol Miss Nankin, and a handsome fortune.” “The base, mercenary wretch !” said the lady. ■ f “Nay, you do him injustice,” answered the hov ; “it is the way ol the World. He loved thee, and won thee by moonlight; under the greenwood tree, after the fashion of the olden time : but when he found ti c • false, and thy vows broken,lie improved upon the exam ple of the lovers of old, and sought relief in the altar instead of the lialtar. He gave rent to bis misery in octosyllables, and then sought another bride. This wealth procures him ad mission into that society, which his genius never would, and he can now write verses in his own parlor, instead of the fourth story of a boarding house. Ho can rhyme about the miseries of human life over a bottle of LaKttr and a lobster sallad , and of his blighted hopes and crushed affections, with Ins' wife looking over his shoulders.” “Well, since there is no hope of the poet, suppose i take the lawyer.” Unfortunately, be has since he has been at Albany, been smitten with the charms of .Miss Katrina Van Dunderspeigle, the daugh ter ofa rich Dutchman.” “Well, there is the young merchant Henry Wallingford.” “Aye, thetc is some hope ; but he has late ly been close in his attentions to the bcatiful daughter of the widow Catclihusliand.” “Then there is no chance ; for she is the most artful and managing creature in the world.” “Art and managing are dangerous terms for lovers to hear,” said Cupid gravely, they should he managed without knowing it. is there no one else?” “Sir Hector Grecnturf has gone to England, so 1 see nothing better than to take up with the old merchant, plain Peter Punctual.” “I am extremely sorry,” said Cupid* with a malicious sinile, “that you are doomed to be disappointed here, also. The old gentleman vt'as so affected at your rejection of him, that lie went home,and tlrank three hotilesof Ma deira with his dinner,which brought on anew attack of his old complaint. His housekeeper, to whom 1 Was under some obligation, as she was very pretty in bet youth, attended him with so much care and solicitude, notwith standing she knew that she had been remem bered in his will, that I resolved to reward such a rare instance of disinterested benevo lence. Just as lie recovered, and was thank ing her for her attention,! aimed a shaft at him with all my strength ; it took effect, —and Miss Dolly Jones is now Mistress Dorothy Punctual. The face of Olivia became clouded as he was speaking, and she began to betray evi dent sy tnptoms of regret and alarm. In a few moments, she rallied her spirits, and said, with a forced smile, “Well, there are men enough in the world, and Ido not despair of winning one to suit iny fancy.—You must stand my friend yet. little love.” The sylphs gathered around, and performet their various offices, as before, ami jrmuedi ately a number ot figures, of various descrip tions passed before the fair Olivia. Cupid aimed a dart at each in succession,but most fell back powerless.—Some were struck, and ap proached to woo the lady—but as their ap pearance did not promise much, she repelled them. There, likewise appeared to be a grad ual falling off in these, arid among the last who appeared, there were none of a very respectable appcatance. While this was taking place, another figure had appeared in the hack ground, in whom I recognized that venerable old gentleman, called Time. Ho approached the fair Olivia, and his presence seemed to counteract the efi’ect of the little beings who were still en deavoring to beautify the lady. He waved his wand over her, and the rosy hue of her cheek slowdy faded, an odious wrinkle gathered up on her brow, and a few white hairs showed themselves among her glossy ringlets. The sylphs seemed surprised that their spoils lost their power. Presently, Olivia rose, ami sur veyed herself in the fountain, arid started back, chagrined and terrified. The little god of love heroically drew his bow, and aimed an arrow at old Time, but upon beiirg regarded with a stern and freezing look, lie lost courage, and flew away. The scene suddenly changed, and once more assumed the appearance of the room in which I was. Olivia stood before her dress ing-table. and seemed to he making u/e ofa new stock of articles,which I had ootokserved before. Time still stood by her, and seemed to take a malicious pleasure in counteracting her efforts; still site increased her exertions to appear beautiful, but the hand of time was too powerful, and she at length sunk into a chair, and burst into tears. After a short time, she arose, washed the rouge from her checks, gathered up her hair, and drew over ita plain muslin cap, and making some other alterations,appeared in the guise ofa respec table maiden lady of 40. As she finished, she turned round, aud for the first time, bent her eyes upon tne. She approached me with a severe, vinegar look, which made me trem ble for my ears, when I suddenly awoke, and beheld the fair Olivia, who had just returned from Iter walk, standing before me in all her loveliness, and looking at me in astonishment. I started up, and making tile best apology I I could for my intrusion, retreated, making an oath to myself, never to intrude again with in ‘lie aacred precinct- ofa Lttdy'n Chamber. J. It.

One day last week, after our “Red Breth ren” had risen from a dinner table to which they had been invited, they retired to an ante room to seek repose. Among the gentlemen present, was one who requested an introduc tion, for the the purpose of having n religous conversation with the 30ns of the forest. Young Hawk, sometimes called Tommy Hawk, had just thrown himself on a sofa, w he n the object cf the visiter was made known to him through the interpretei.

Extract ofa letter from Black Hawk, Chief of the Holy Alliance of Sacs, Foxes, Pottowattamies, &c, to liis illustrious squaw Dekibit llubts, or the Star of Night : Pa-Bouchian, (New York,) Fifth Moon. My Sweetest : I am now on my wav home. I am glad, for I begin to be tired of being stared nt by thp white squaws,who, I believe, all want to marry me. 1 believe all this admiration is owing to my having killed a few Long Knives, and burnt up some of the women and children in their wigwams ; for there is nothing tliese peo ple, especially the women, run after with such eagerness as a murderer. Thcv hunt him as we do a Buffalo, and see him hung up with tho samq pleasure as we do dried meat. They are a very curious people, and asked me many questions which I answered with a grunt. One of the Black Coats {came to convert me, but 1 told him, as soon ns they could all agree among themselves, if they would send me word, I would take the matter into con sideration. You can't think what a great man 1 have become among these people, in con sequence of having burnt some wigwams and killed a few Long Knives. Though they boast of their power and numbers, 1 can see plainly enough they stand in great awe of me, for when they come into my presence they stare like so many stuck pigs. The great Fatherat Washington was mighty civil, andmade me a long speech, of which I did not believe one word; hut I 1 was even with him, fori made another, in which there was not a syllable of truth. I believe they think the red men are fools; or like some of the long eared dogs, 1 see here, who, the more you whip them, the more they crouch and lick your hand. This also the case with the young pappooses ; and abject submission to a system ol tyranny which has been called treedom, was reconciled them to be ing treated like slaves.— Cour. ami Enq. The original Jack Downing complains thus in the Courier, of the men who steal his name: “Now I think out,there is the most rascally sot of fellers skulking about somewhere in this part of the country that ever I heard of, and I wish you would blow ’em up. They are worse than pick-pockets. I mean them are filers that’s got to w riting letters and putting my name to ’em, andfsending’em to the prin ters. And I heard their was one gassy feller last Saturday down to Newberyport that got on to a horse and rid about town calling him self Major Jack Dow ning, and all the soldiers and the folks marched tip and shook hands with him, and thought it was me. Now my dear old friend, isn’t this too had? What would you do, if you was in my case/ I say again, they are worse than the pick-pockets.
