ELEGANT TOM DILLAR.

CHAPTER l.
 To speak of Tom DIar in any other way than by his pseudonym of Elegant, would be like speaking of Harold Barefoot, Edwin the Fair, the Black Prince or Louis the De- bonnaire, without their distinguishing adjec- tiycs. Tom Dilar was known to his ac- quaintances only as Elegant Tom, and he was well entitled to the cpithet, for he was elegant in locks, manners, and style. He was one of those happy persons who seem to have come into the world for the sole pur- pose of eating the sunny side of ripe peach cs. There were no deficiencies in elegant Tom Dillar, and if one could have the or dering of his own antecedcnts, they could not be superior to Toms. On the side of his father, he was connected with the best English families in the State and by the mothers side, he could boast of the purcst Dutch descent. He inherited large for tune from his father, and, what was much better, a healthy constitution and hand some person. Being independent in his cir cumstances, he was not educated for pro- fession but, being apt to learu, he was taught good many accomplishments that arc not generally bestowed upon American youths. He could dance much better than most professors of that elegant art, and in music he was something more than prof. cient upon the guitar, the piano and the vio- lin. Then he had fine voice, delicious tenor, ana those who had the good fortune to hear him sing used to boast of it, as though piece of rare luck had befaen them. Tom was good-naturcd too, and as amiable as though it were necessary for him to conciliatc the world, that his presence might not be considered an intrusion. But of all men, he was least likely to be consid cred de trop in the world.
 He went abroad, aud came back as ami able and unpretending as he went, but with more accomplishments than he carried away He was invited everywhere, and he might have married any girl he chose to honor 1T ; that manner; but, as often happens ln suct cases, he seemed never to have been touched ln hls heart by any of the beautiful crea lures who surrounded him. There was Fan ny Ormo'u, the only daughter of the grea, anctioneer, who. they used to say, was dy ing for him ; and it was said that her fathe, was so fearful of the effects of Toms indif ference on his daughters health, that he wa guilty of the indelicacy of offering to settl' a hundred thousand dollars on him if h' would marry her. But Tom had nevc known what it was to want money, and, lik an honorable, high-minded fellow as he was refused to sell himself, even at so high fie ure, and to SO beautiful purchaser.
 I They say that old Omolu was so exaspe' ated and indignant at Toms refusal, that n swore he would have satisfaction for the ln suit; and he was as good as his word. Fl did not challenge Tom, nor, indeed, perml him to know that hs entertained any ilf'viI

TWO LOVERS

TWO LOVERS. A skiff swan down the Danube's tide, Therein bridegroom sate, and bride,
 He on one side. she the other. Tell me, my dearest heart, said she, What present shall make to thee? And back her little sleeve she stripped. And deeply down her arm she dipped. He did the same the other side, And laughed and tested with his bride. Fair lady Danube, give me here, Some prettygift to please my dear" She drew sparkling sword aloft, Just such the boy had longed for, oft. The boy, what holds he in his hand? Of milk-white pearls costly band. He binds it round her jet black hair, She looks princess sitting there. "Fair lady Danube, give me here. Some pretty gift to please my dear!" Once more she tries what she can feel; And grasps helmet oflight steel. On his part, terrified with joy, A golden comb fished up the boy. A third time clutching in the tide, Woe she falls headlong OCT the side. The boy leaps after, clasps her tight, Dame Danube snatches both from sight. Dame Danube grudged the gifts she gave i; They must atone fort in the wave. An empty skiff glides down the stream, And mountains hide the sunset gleam. And when the moon in heaven did stand, The lovers foated dead to land,
 He one side, she the other.

CHAPTER IL.
 The ruin of Thomas Dilar, Esq, was complete Wall-street nev CT witnessed more decided cleaning out than in the case of my elegant friend. It was SO smoothly and rap idly doue, that he was like the man who didn't know he was decapitatcd until he at tempted to nod his head-so sharply, so adroitly. and so quickly, had the blow been dealt. But it does not take long for per son to find out that he is poor, and Elegant Tom Dlllar immediately began to have a realizing sense" of the true state of his case He had nothing in the world left but his watch, and a few articles of jewelry, ny which he could raise money enough to dis charge the few debts he owed, and whicl, were demanded with rude pertinacity that he had never known before. He had to abandon the hotel in Broadway at which he had been living, and take cheap lodgings in Beekmanstrcet; and. instead of having more invitations to dine than he could ac' ccpt, he suddenly fonnd himself without any invitation at all; as to evening parties, al though he had made up his mind not to go to any more, he had the modification o' being cut by all his old friends, and soon ceased to expect any attentions from them. Heretofore Tom had skinned the cream ol human existence; he had visited only in the best circles. eaten the best dinners, drank the best wines, read the most amusing books worn the best clothes, and had known noth ing of the infelicities of human existence, ex cept by hearsay. But now his turn hao come to feed on husks. and taste of hyssop What Tom had suffered, or how he had struggled, none knew but himself, for he wal too proud to complain. and, to all appear ances, he wss aslight-hearted and cheerfu IS eyer he bad been in his most prosperous

CHAPTER "


 The reappearance of Elegant Tom Dillar in what is called society, was topic of uni versal conversation in fashionable circles, and once more invitations began to pour in upon him, so that he might, if he had had the capacity. have eaten three dinners daily at the very best houses in town, and have danced in the most brilliant company that New York could afford, nearly every night. But great change was perceptibe in Toms manner. He was the same Elegant Tom Dillar he had ever been faultless in his manner, refined in his conversation, incred- ible in dress, and handsomer, if possible, than before his retirement. But he is so subdued in his style," was the remark of ev- cry body. He never danced, and when be was slpressed to sing, he always eyaded the request by pleading slight hoarseness There used to be 8 slight dash of friyolity in Toms ccpversation apd conduct, and he

CHAPTER III,


 It was about three months after I parted from Tom in the cheap restaurant, that, as I entered the vestibue of the Astor House. I met him coming oat of that hotel I start cd back with amazement as Saw him, for Tom was now dressed with greater splendor than had ever before seen him; not obtru- sivcly made up, but with all air of studied elegance that was new to him. Certainly he never looked better, nor better deserved to be called Elegant Tom Dilar. He ap, peared little embarrassed when he first caught my eye, but his old manner soon re- turned. Il owe you trifc, think" said he; "let me pay it." And he pulled out a silk purse which seemed to be full of gold and silver, and reached me half-dollar.
 "That is the principal" said he; 'now do me the favor to accept this for interest," and he took handsome seal ring from his finger, which he put upon mine. A our i,l- iatials were the same, do not know whcth CT he had had it cut for me or not; but, see ing my cipher on the agate, fancied he had and did not refuse it. keep it among my most precious mcmentoes of past friendships for Tom Dillar is one of those persons whose acquaintance regard as feather in my cap.

JOHN II. WHITE, we are told, refuses to be
candidate for Recorder, or any other station. We
regret it, for be would make good officer.

accept the Recordership if rendered him. Prob

and experience with undoubted integrity

They have fixed things exactly to our liking in
the Worcester District, Massachusetts,. Mr.. G..
f. Bailey has been nominated for Congress by a
Republican Convention, and Mr.. Thayer had been
previously rerominated, by requisition signed by
five hundred Republicans, and has accepted. Now,
the que sions on which Nr. Thayer is at issue with
other Republicans in his district will be brought to
a fair and square issue before the People, and de-
cided on their merits. The District cannot be
lost; in fact, it is doubtful whether there will be
third candidate; and while Mr.. Bailey has a de-
cided advantage in being the Irregular" nominee,
Mr.. Thayer will probably have to balance this, the
syDpathies and votes of most of the nti-Repub-
licaLs. Let the People hear both sides, and they
will render a just judgment.
