A ROMANTIC ADVENTURE.

An English paper says, the following adj
venture has OF late been the subject of much
conversation. On an evening early in March
last about dusk, commercial traveller was
proceeding from Cheltenham to Gloucester
in gig, when he was accosted by respec-
tably dressed lady, who informed him that
she had been disappointed by the coach, and
requested him to give her seat in his gig
to Gloucester. Commercial travellers are
proverbially gallant and good natured, and
the gentleman of the road in this instance
possessed all the best characteristics of his
order He was happy at the opportunity
afforded him of being of the least service to
the lady, whose petition was couched in the
most moving terms: and, delighted rather
than otherwise with his good fnrtnno, which
had thrown such companion IN his way to
beguile the solitariness and tedium of his
journey, he at once granted the request, and
handed the lady to the seat at his side.
The lady's proportions were somewhat of
the largest, and the arm which the traveller
assisted as she sprang into the vehicle APP
peared capable of defending its possessor
from any improper liberties. Whether this
circumstance induced the traveller to cast
his eyes downwards, TO observe whether all
proportions correspondent, or whether, like
MANY other gentlemen of his craft, he boast
ed of being a connoiseur in fine ancles, we
do not know; but the story goes that, while
his eyes did wander towards the feet of his
companion, his sight was far from being
! gratified by detecting something which bore
very much the appearance Of a mans trou-
sers peeping from beneath silk cloak and
| founced petticoat.
AIlth comfortable "reminiscences of past
dangers, and all the anecdotes which he had
ever heard or read from the "Newgate Cal
ender," came fresh to his recollection. He
had no doubt he was riding cheek by jowl
with second Dick Turpin, who was only
waiting suitable opportunity to rob, and
perhaps to murder him. A lucky idea rose
in his mind; he drew his silk handkerchief
from his pocket; it fell into the road; it was
splendid 'swipe," and as valuable as the
one that an Egyptian gave to Othello's moth
err; he could not think of losing it, but his
horse was too hasty temperedto allow hin
to trust the reins into strange hands
thousand apologies, but would the lady bs
kind enough to step out, and pick up ahe
handkerchief, which was now some yards
in the rear of the gig. The lady readily as
sented, and while she was performing th
} errand the commercial gentleman gave whiI
TO his fiery courser, and soon left his suspi
cious fellow Uoydger far behind him. WheI
he felt it prudent to moderate his speed, b,
discovered that the lady had left in the sea
when she dsmounted, a handsome muf, an
putting his hand inside of it, he found brac
of pistols, loaded, capped, and balled; an
with the rnuff and its formidable content
the traveller arrived safely in Gloucester
congratuIating himself heartily on the nal
row escape which he had experienced.

THE USED UP.

The jig is up-I have been flung
Sky highland worse than that,
The girl whose praises have sung
With pen, with pencil, and with tongue,
Said o,''-and felt fiat!
Now / will neither roar nor rant,
Nor my hard fate deplore;
Why should fellow look asant
If one girl says she won't or can't,
While there's SO many morea
strove my best-it would not do;
told her she'd regret;
She'd ruin'd my heart and chances, too,
As girls don't like those fellows who
Their sralking papers get.
In truth loved her very well,
And thought that she loved me
The reason why 1 cannot tell,
But when | wooed thispretty belle,
Twas a mistake inme.
She's blue of eyes, and her sweet smile,
Like some of which I've read,
Is false; for she, with softest guile,
Lur'd me 'mong rocks, in loves bright isle
And then she cut me dead.
My vanity was wounded sore;
And that hate the worst;
You see naughty look wore
And thought that she could but adore
Ofall men me the first.
Well, thank the fates. once more I'm free
AT every shrine I'll bow,
And ifagain girl cheats me,
Exceeding sharp she'll have to be,-
I've cut my eye-teeth now.
On, like the humble bee, I'll rove,
Just when and where please;
Inhaling sweets from every grove,
Humming around each flower love,
And dancing in each breeze.
