Wake, vslint Whigs, tawughoat the nation, Ariae and take yoj proper station j Oh ! know ye npl tb bout is coin Tu sound the note of preparation 1 Come one, come all, your country's call, Bids pji-h one be her bold defender, United in the people's choice. And in a cood cause ne'er turrmder. ' Hut rah, hurrah, for Rough fend Ready, Harrah, hurrah, fr Rotigh tnd Ready, Comr all trim Whlgn, your strength unite, And pull for him, both strong and ateady. In manhood s morn, how aelf-re'ylng, 'Mid scenes f d'inger deeply trying, Will) twice ten men his post he kept, Four hundred u.ivnye fiws defying; Tho' Taylor but one lift run boast, That life he plcJged on freedom's altar, And when fierce dangers piesk'd liioi most, His heart or hand ne'er knew to falter. Hurrah, hurruh, &e. That brave defenpc let all reiueinl tr, And Vule for Zach in neit iSovembur, That he ihe nation'a hi lin may uide, And from mhiriilvanJ Irauil defend her; And now, as in all coming time, W ith pride wilt irteniory fondly cherish, The deeds which ghined, In southern clinic, For him a name that ne'er will perish Hutruh, hurrah, &c. Like Wobhington, o'er all hj towers, In smiling pvuee, or whta war lowers, And first in nil brave hearts is he, Throughout this broad free land of ours; From youth to nue, his star or fame, Hath shone with brlght'nlng luBtrc ever, Nor can detraction o'er his name Fwn glorious truth and honor sever. Hurrah, hurrah, for Rouh and Ready, Hurrah, hurruh, for Rough nnd Reedy, Although to foernen he is rovgli, To mercy's call he's ever remly. And e'en in age, when men require From Kill and hardships to retire, . Our hero still his country serves . With teal, winch nought but death can tire ; From victory, on 10 victory, still He marched, bright laurels elust'ring round him, "Till luena Vista's closing scene, - With wreaths of deathless glory crown'd him. Hurrah, hurrah, for Rough and Ready, Hurrah, hurrah, lor Rough and Rwuiy, Let all the Whigs their strength unite, For Tavlor pull, long, ttrong, and ttcaily. P. W. Alexandria, Aug. 10th, lfi4fl.

Very iutcrioiis, indued!1 said Mrs. Brown ' Altogether beyond my comprehension! snid Mi-.- Willowbough 'Mysterious! do tell me all about it Saul Mrs Jones, who had just entered the room, ttntl heard enough of the eonversa - tion to convince her that scandal was its subject, a, indeed, one might have known had she beej! tieaf lor what other subject had been started at Mrs. Smith's for a twelve -month V 1 Have you heard nothing of the rnyste- rious Mni!r;er T asked Mrs. Brown. 'Nothmg'' Who has been here ever since the day . ' 1 1 ii l . before yesterday morning ( uuueti 'i's S. 'Not a word 1 how remarkable !' 'And whose name no one can discover1' continued Miss Willowbough Wonderful ! wonderful !' exclaimed Mrs Jones ' But what is lhe peculiar uiys lerv about him V A great deal,. I assure you,' answered Mrs Smith. ' In the tirst place he weais a black coa and drab pantaloons and then, again In -he indeed Ins whole appearance has an air of very peculiar mystery.' BU-ss me ' what are we all coming to ! But is there no way to find nut who he is?' 'I expect Miss Vinegar here every mo ment,' said Mrs Smith. ' and if any one know anything about him. she does.' ' What, thai old inuid ' Uh, 1 detest her, said Mrs. Jones, 'she is so terribly inquisi tive I nevor mold hear an v one who is eternally prying into the alhnrs of their neighbors "Then yo'T can't find out even his name I would give anything to know. But here comes Miss Vinegar : perhaps she can tell us ' Miss Vinegar poked her sallow visage into the room She looked the very mcar naliou of scandal, and well bhe might, fior it bad been. her daily food for more than thirty yCers. Miss Vinegar was not of a certain, bul of a very uncertain ag vary ing from twenty five to forty, according as you took her assurance, or the family bible for your guide ; and the whole of that time ha bad passed in the laudable occupation Df investigating and regulaLfle the affairs of her neighbors She had a gene-iai orer- siB-ht of iha whole villatf. She knew ey- ,wnr a nr. 1 II iTV' I II .I I I I i : ' .: K - - - , . 'i ! ,- 1848. Whole No. 387. live of great many things tjmi wver did happen. Like the glorious sun, she shone on all alike Nono so elevated as to be above the reach of her tongue ; none so low 96 escape the Tipilnnce-of her con descending scrutiny. This alaa the most distinguished powers are sometimes com pelled to be inactive from the want of prop er" bjcw for tLeit-exertiona. She seemed to be the inevitable fate of Miss Vinegar. Possessed of every faculty and blessed with every mchnauan for her manufacture of scandal!, she was alarmingly deficient in the raw material. She had worked up every character within' her reach Willi 'he intuition of genius she had seized upon every incident susceptible of expansion, and hail stretched it to its utmost extent. She hail done, everything thnt could have been done, but, alns! who can make bricks wnliout Biraw V Her best exertions met with no encouragement Nothing troW happen out of the regular course of events everybody went to church on Sun days Nobody was extravagant in dress or dinners Nobody was getting married, or like to be ; poor woman she fell sure of that. In fact, there was nothing worthy the attention of Miss Vinegar, nnd people began to d-nr that, for want of any other shewo ilil attack her own character. Nev er did anything occur 111 belter time than lhe .'ipp' aranco of ihe mysterious stranger. Miss V wiejrar's researches laid not been attended with that success which usually rewards persevering industry. 'The landlady knows nothing about him,' she said, as she entered 'I have ascer tained thai he rises at eight and drinks two cups of coffee without cream ' 'Without cream!' echoed Mrs. Ione. 'Yes, without cream. I was very par ticular in my enquiries, and the informa tion may he relied upon.' 'Very singular, indeed! Now I think cream is all the beauty of coffee.' 'I should not be at all surprised, said Miss Vinegar, 'if he should prove to be the bank robber, whom we saw advertised.' 'But he is a dark man, xvith black hair,' said Miss Willowboi.gh, 'and the stranger has a very light complexion.' 'Nothing eaHirr than to alter the com plexion, as you must know, Miss Willow bough,' retorted Miss Vinegar. Mic Wil lowbongh enjoyed the reputation of im proving her complexion with peatl powder hut she blushed through it all, and con untied, 'but then the robber is a large man, and the stranger is tall and slim ' Nothing easier than redticmg the size of the waist,' nnswered Miss Vinegar sharp ly, antl glancing at Miss Willowbough's hour glass form ' Really the conversation was becoming quite petionul. bo at least thought Miss Willowbough, aa she answered: 'But there is one thing he could not al- ter. He is evidently not more trrun twen- ty-five-years old, while the advertisement describes the robber as over forty; and your own experience, Miss Vinegar, must have convinced you of the impossibility of any one's appearing twenty years younger than he really is. jyiHS Vinegar began to mutter nbotit 1 y()mp people,' and -some other people.' but i was interrupted by an exclamation from j m,8 Smith, which drew all eyes to the ' window. J 'There he goes, as I live !' ; 'See,' observed Mrs Jones, as the 'mys- tPri0U8 stranger' took a long step to avoid ja muddy spot, 'see how mysteriously he i lifts his foot.' , rnan ne jjnP knew the interest le : . . ...

'Nor a woman old enotijrh to be his grandmother,' retorted Miss Willowbough. 'There, did you we Mr White He bowed to the stranirer, so he must know him.

'Oh, he, he was a stranger' Well what is his name?' was tbs mfef question, as they all pressed around hfm. But none of thern observed the miscbievotis smile that played upon his lips, af biah' swered with aaimmeI hesitancy, '1 really do not know as I onght to irt fact, I do not exactly recollect binanM. '' 'Oh ' bm you must tell ul"n shall goad farther. 1 nssuro yon.' '1 sho'tld hke to tell you ; but, but, real ly, there; nre some peculiar circumstances', which' 'But you rertamly would not hesitate to inform us.' said Mrs Smith, 'I have not the least cwrviutif m the world, but I merely wish to know tint's all ' 'He has a very hard name,' said Mt White. 'Hard name what is it, Ston?' 'Oh 1 no, Harder' 'Harder than stone ? then it is Iron, ( suppose".' 'No, Harder yet.' 'Harder than iron? impossible Ada mant?'

At last they ar rived at the conclusion that his name mtJst be Diamond; and with this opinion, the la dies separated. Again the ladies) were in conclave, at the house of Mrs Smilh. Again Mr. Dia mond, so they haTiamed the stranger, passed the window; and again, all eye were directed toward him 'There' he has dropped a letter in the street,' said Alixs Viregar. 'Send someone for it, while 1 keep waich.' Mrs Smith s maid was immediately des patched for the important documentwbile Miss Vinegar stood sentinel at the door, lest some more fortunate individual should secure the prize But her caution was needless; the maid picked up the letter, Mrs. Smith received it at the street-door, and, without looking ai it, bo great was her hasie, bur it iu triumph to her anxious guests. 'Now, we shall know his name,' said Miss Vinegar ' Mrs. Smith held up the letter, nnd read the superscription : " Wil liam Hakdek, Ksqutre." Peddling Wilhont License.
