by the back Of the neck, he led him to the
bed, and forced his face down upon it,
I" look at it," continued the enraged Ten
nessean, " examine it-smell lido you
call that bed dirty, you puppy r. Then
going TO the door, he called to a servant to
bring horsewhip and informed the ter
rifed dandy, that unless he undressed and
went to bed instantly, he should order his
negro TO horsewhip him. In vain the NOR

" but the question is one in which you can
have little interest; for you must seek a
meal elsewhere
Surely, my dear sir, you would not

The dandy refined up his stecd, jumped off,
and found that his girth was indeed under
his horse-where it ought to be.

"Who is that young man p inquired the
judge of the circuit court, as the stranger
rode of.
" He is Philadelphia Dun," replied the
landlord. :,

honor.
Have you lived in this country so long,
and not know this race of men? Sir, they
are the collectors, sent out by eastern mer-
chants to collect their debts. Although
they come from different cities, they all 60
