A CHAPTER ON BUSTLES.

Bustles-what are bustles? Az, reader,
fair reader, you may well ask that question.
But some Of you at least know the mean
ing of the word and the use of the arti-
Gle it desgnates. sufficiently well, though
thank heaven! there are many thousands OF
my Countrymen who are as yet ignorant OF
both, and indeed to whom such knowledge
would be quite useless. Would that
were in equally innocent ignorance! Not.
reader, that am of the female sex, and
use the article in question, but my knowI-
edge of its mysterious uses, and the mate
rals of which it is composed, has been the
ruin Of me. | will have inscribed on my
tomb, Here lies man who was killed by
buster
But before / detail the circumstances of
my unhappy fate, it will perhaps be proper
to give a description Of the article itself
which has been the cause of my undoing.
Well then. a hustle is-an article used
by ladies to take from the character of the
Venus of the Greeks, and impart to it that
of the Venus of the Hottcntots! That
ladies should have a taste so singular, may
appear incredible; but there is no account
ing for tastes, and know TO my cost that
the fact is indisputable. ! made the dis
covery a few years since, and up to that
time | had always borne the character of a
sedatc and promising young man-one
likely to get on in the world by my cxer-
tons, and therefore sure to be helped by
my friends. ] was even, | hatter myself,
a favorite with the fair sex too; and Justly.
| for was their most ardent admrer; and
there was one most lovely creature among
them, whom | had fondiy hoped to have
made my own. But alas! how vain and
visionary are our hopes of human happi-
ness: such hopes with me have fled forever!
In an unlucky hour was at ball, seated
at little distance from my fair one, my
eyes watching her every air and look, my
ears catching every sound of her sweet
voice-when | heard her complain to a
friend, in tones Of the softest whispering
music, that she was oppressed with the heat
of the place. "My dear" her friend re-
piled, sit must be the effect of your hustle
What do you stuff it withl' "Hair-horso
hair" was the reply. "Hairl mercy on us?
says her friend, lit is no wonder you are
oppressed-thats hot material truly
Why, you should do as do-you do not
see me fainting, and the reason is, that

indeed it was not necessary, for at thai
time had not the slightest notion of what
they meant. Time, however, passed OF
most fayorably to my wishes-anothel
month, and | should have called my Eliza
beth my own. She was on visit to my
sister, and ! had every opportunity to make
myself agreeable. We sang together, We
also talked together, and we danced togeth

ments-she has for the first time known the
fatigues of being obliged to do domestic
employment-she has for the first time
looked around her on home destitute of
every thing elegant-almost of every thing
convenient, and may now be sitting down,
exhausted and spiritless, brooding over
prospect Of future poverty"
There was a degree of probability in
this picture that l could not gainsay. so we
walked on in silence.
After turning from the main road up
narrow lane, so thckly shaded by forest
trees as to give it a complete air of scclu-
sion, we came in sight of the cottage. 1t
was humble enough in its appearance for
the most pastoral poet; and yet it had
pleasing rural look. A wild vine overrun
one end with profusion Of foliage; few
trees threw their branches gracefully over
it, and | observed several pots of flowers
tastefully disposed about the door, and on
the grass-plat in front. A small wicket
gate opened upon a footpath that wound
through some shrubbery to the door, Just
as we approached we heard the sound of
music. Leslie grasped my arm. We
paused and listened. 1t was Mary's voice,
singing in style of the most touching
simplicity, little air of which her husband
was peculiarly fond.
felt Leses hand tremble on my ARM
He stepped forward to hear more distinct
ly: his steps made noise on the graveled
walk. A bright, beautiful face. glanced
out at the window and vanished; light
footstep was heard, and Mary came trip
ping forth to meet us. She was in pretty
rural dress of white; few wild flowers
were twisted in her fine hairs a fresh bloom
upon her cheek; her whole countenance
beamed with smiles. had never seen her
look so lovely.
"My dear George" cried she, Il am so
! glad you are come. | have been watching
and watching for you, and running down
the lane, and looking out for you. have
set out table under beautiful tree be-
hind the cottage, and I've been gathering
some of the most delicious strawberries,
for know you are fond Of them-and we
have such excellent Greenland every thing
is so sweet and still here-OF' said she
putting her arm within his, and looking up
brightly in his face, 80! we shall be SC
happy"
Poor Leslie was overcome. He caught
her to his bosom-he folded his arms rounc
her; he kissed her again and again; he could
not speak, but the tears gushed into his
eyes; and he has often assured me, tha
though the world has since gone prosper
ouslv with him, and his life has indeed beer
happy one, yet never has he experienced
a moment of such unutterable felicity.

MY COUNTRY'S FLAG.
MY CouNTRY's FLAG love to gaze
Upon thee, bathed in freedoms light
love the very breeze that plays
Among thy folds, on yonder height.
Thy Stars and Stripes! love them we'll,
For all the high-born truths they tell
They DER my spirit cast spell,
That seems by angel-impulse given,-
II savors less of earth than heaven.
MY CouNTRY's FLAG love to think
OF thee, as of heaven. born thing,
The Christians COP it was, who gave
The hand to rear thee, strength to save
And made thy champions bold and brave,
To lift the Stars and Stripes on high,
And tell their freedom to the sky!
My CouNTRY's FLAG a sight of thee
Shall wuken liveler gratitude
And many youthful heart shall see,
That to be great is to be good.
That noble being oil must love,
Who, rising in grandeur far above,
Meanwhile was gentle as the dove
And wrapt around his towering mind,
The chords that bound him to mankind.
MY CoUETRY's FLAG wave, wave on,
Till aristocracy shall cease,
And every eye shall greet the dawn,
Of Liberty, the morn of peace!
Till every being of our soil
Shall eat the free rewards of toll,
And every chain, and serpent-coil,
Before the silken folds shall flee,
And Gods own imrge stand forth free.
