THE GAM II LRU'S FATE- Another glat-s ol Uurncoa end then fur Si. JamuV," aul Russell 10 his friend Has vour lengthened residence 1111 the com tneni imbued you with much taste fur cane or roulette. "No," replied Melvil, "ever opposed. bo'li hy inclination and education to the vice nf :niuhliiig. I linve stiidioti-ly avoid I the magic circle 111 which the fickle goddess enthrals her votaries. Surely you do not play?" Very little," responded Russell, care- less'v, "and ineiely for amusement ; to night, however. I have a- 1 told you before, an appointment to be kept. You will ac- cotnnany me, I hope? you need not play." I it part with each other so boon, and after so long a separation, with sn much to talk about, and so many friends to enquir.; lifter, requires more philosophy than I can boast nf possessing; so ns your appoint ment must be kept, and I have no fear of my resolution failing in one night, I will accompany ynu. Were 1 superstitious. ihoueh, 1 i-hutild not do en ; for 0 scotch nrofessor of second sight once told mo that I should bitterly rue the action did I ever cms-) the threr-hold of 11 gambling I'nuse." Russel smiled sarcastically. "Pos-tbly 'eur nich seer spoke from experience Who knows tair that some cunning duel had wnn a grout from lino at a fair, and he thought the like might hap to yon ? Nev ertheless. I thoiild like to understand thi second sigln, ns yon phrne it. very well, seeing tint it would prove on able auxiliary at hazard." The Curncoa was drunk, the cab order ed, and llm scene was changed. One hour afturvvatds he wai deeply engaged in t lit mysteries of play, and Melvil occasionally looking on, and anon chatting with some lordliiigs to whom his friend hnd introduced him, patiently awaiting llm termination of an nrniif etnent for which he entertained no small degree nf distaste. Russel won largely. Seated at the same table with him wa one of those professed players who nightly haunt the gaming table. lie was a man of nnddli1 nge, nf gentlemanly man iters, and seemed well known to thnso bv whom hn wns surrounded. "What, losing again ! night, Mawkes?" said one nf llie hy'anders, addressing htm wn have descnbed "This is bad: ynu linve lost night's losses to repa alremlv." "True," replied the persun addressed : and nftdvil. well versed in human nature, noticed a peculiar ininnatinu in the voice of the speaker, which displayed fierce inter nal agitation of mind, although to a com niun observer it might have been imnr ceptible. "True," I must; and you will soe lliai 1 tnnit win presently." Indeed !" exclaimed the other, "well, well, wo shall see that." In effact the prophecy of the player ap peared magical lor atiou the luck chatiL'ed Rnssel's high pile of gold dwindled rap idly away : each successive throw of the dice contributed materially to reduce it, whilo that nf Ilnwkes speedily became the larpesl on the board. 'Rusel.' whispered Mclvil, 'leave this dangerous pastime, the luck you see has changed,' 'And will chnnge again,' replied Russel 'I know my adversary well ; good fortuno rarely nbid" with linn.' I am clad to hear ihnt ynu know ltim,' replied Melvil. gravely, 'for really 1 hnd susnecied snme foul play. Pray, who is he ?' lie is a man nf good family, nnd one of largo properly, all of which ho has di-iinn-ind at piny. Ho married IJI.niehe Yan, he with whom it was said hy village giw. sips, you once had an nffttire de itcur in early life.' 'I don't recollect her.' snid Melvil. 'Not recollect her,' snid Rusel engerlv. 'not recollect her? Why. Melvil. I could nluiOfl feel templed to say that the lack of memory w'iik intentional. Not remember B'nneh'e Vine ? .-tie whom wc used to col' beautiful nianche?' Melvil colored slightly. A crowd of recollection-! pressed to Ins heart, but they pasnd nwny with llie moment they were engendered; there was a little rounnce in his own bosom. 'I th remember Hint cog noinen.' he answered coldly as he turned nwnv from the table. Hall 1111 uuur elapsed ere IYIclvil again approached. The gambler's lace wns fliti-hetl with success ; that of Russel wa pnle and dieluibcd. Hu had lost very con stdernbly. 'One more throw for double 6takes,' cried he, 'and I have done.' 'Agreed,' replied Hawker. Melvil with some difficulty made bis way to the opposite end of the table, nnd wnlch cil with engle eye Ins every motion. They threw nnd Ru-el lost The scarlet blood mounted 011 Melvil's brow; he suddenly bent forward, and violently seized the wrist of Mawkes. 'Contemptible scoundrel! you have dice in vour sleeve." Univorsal confusion followed, and groups of per-ions flocked lo the table. While Mawkes proudly shook off ihe grasp of Melvil. and bared his arm calmly, saying 'Prove your charge, sir.' This was impossible : and although per. fectly satisfied himself ns to the truth ol Ins allegation. Melvil was obliged lo ac knowledge he had no means of sustaining it. Mawkes demanded his card; it was given. 'You arc wrong,' whispered Russel: 'you had bettor apologize; he i9 a capital shot.' I was nol wruii", nod I will no I opulu. gize,' answered Mclvil, quietly. Ere the latter had left the room, n meet ing hnd been arranged fur tho following morning, by Russel and some friends ol Ilnwkes. Five persons met, early on a damp, mis ty, gloomy lo iking morning, in IJattersea fields; they were iho duelists, their sec ends, and a surgeon. Mclvil was cool and collected. 'Russel, if I fall promise to give up for ever your fearful pursuit.' 'May heaven avert such a calamity ns your hetng wounded even ?' 'Will you promise to mo what I have asked ?' I will do more: I will swear !' answered Roel. Toe ground was soon measured the combatants look Iheir places the signal was given and as previously arranged, both fired together. Melvil remained un hurt ; the gambler fell. God' jaculated Melvil, "I have destroy ed hint !' They rnhed on to tho fallen man. and while his second raised und supported his head upon his knee, the surgeon examined the wound. It wns in the left side, 'Spcnk s'leak !' exclaimed Melvil, 'am I a murderer ?' Fly, lly wiih your best speed, gentle men,' said tho surgeon ; 'the wound is mortal ; he cannot live many minutes.' As the pnii-uncd arrow of the Indian warrior festers in the wound of his enemy ; so did ibis sentence enter into the verv heart of .Melvil. nnd there fester and cank er his hoper, of future huppiness. The dy ing man heard the reply with assumed I'orti Hide. It is well,' he snid faintly, "nay, i' iu?l. Ynu,' uitire.sMng nieivii, 'ynu were right : but hear my ju-iifintiiioii. Mich as 11 u' hnvo a wile children ; I shall never see 1 hem more. I lovrj them belter Ihan inv, elf. A run of ill luck had left me penny- less, and llieni starving.

'He is dying 1 said the 6urgcon; 'fly fur your lile; gentlemen.' lie who supported the head of Ilnwkes, lowered it gently in Ihe grnss, and di-np. pearetl neither of the others moved. The million of Ins head appeared lo muse the fast fading recollection of the unfortunate lueltst out Ins mind wandered; Blanche, my wife my sweet heart another choneo fur lliy snke! Throw throw -no' give mo the box. Down go the dice ah ! deuce ace tho game is up!' A convulsive contraction of ihe litnhs followed then n slight shudder, and the gambler 'slept tho sleep which knows nn waking. Russel and Mclvil made a lour to Swit. zorland together. Doth were melancholy the former for a season, tho latter for ever. The Female Eve. A modern writer gives the following enumeration of a female eye: 'The glare, the stare, tho invitation, lie defiance, the denial, the ennsent, the gauc" 01 inve, uic Misli ol rage, the spark liig of hope, iho langnishtneui of softness, III' sriliint ul'susillciuil. llm firn of innlnuyv. anl the lustre of pleasure.'

POLITICAL. From tho franklin iMeitener. To Martin Van Buhbn. Sin The promise I made ynu in my Inni to write yon ngam soon, I now take the liberty lo fulfil. I was faithful to vou in prnsporty, and in adversity wi'l not desert you. and ynu shall realize Iho truth of the saying that there i a friend that stickulh elisor than 11 brut her. I will however, no furt her upbraid ynu, until I have pointed out as clearly and as coolly as lam able in what yiu have so grie.vonly oflVndcd In order to do ibis we must take a bhort retrospect of thn past. When South America revolted we were it pence with Spain. Her colonies tired of foreign r ti 1 0 rose in nrnis against their oppressors, nnd nitr citizens lent their oid to the colonies. Munitions of war in large qontiiitie!- were purchased in nur country and shipped to Smth America, while many of our citizens actually engaged m the con test. Spain complained, but they were told the net of 1 he citizen was not the act of the government. When Greece, revolted, wo were nl pence Willi Turkey. The coolest wns long nnd bio uly. nn. I 1 he whole sympathies of the people, were enlisted for the land of the pbllo-npher nud I hi? poet. Doiintlong were collected for Greece 111 every part of the nation. Snips, clothes, provision nnd 11111 nitioiis ol war, were sent them in large q'lniu'Uies. Even in Congress sir, they mustered courage enough In express an opinion on the affairs oi Greece, nnd yul we were nt pence with the (irand l urk. When Texas revolted we were at pence with Mexico, Our citizen) engaged with spirit in the- conte.-t uiunitiuns nf war were supplied them men were enlisted in every part of the South for tlieTexian scr vice, and every effort was made lonnl their cau-o The contest wns principally car ried nn, and the revolution effected by American citizens. You. sir, was then high 111 authority, and had your share in ibi national councils. Mexico complained, hut what, was done by the governmntit ? Did the admnislraiion nsk for more severe ennetnipnts, in order lo enable 1 horn to stop our citizens who were going to Texas? Were the militia called out, nr did any ol nur Governors trot like Marcy and Mason about their respective stales to prevent our ciiizons from interfering in the rebellion of Texas? No, the President issued his proc lamalion nod sent his circular to the officers of the government, and this ended the mat ter. These revolutions have been gomg nn for nearly twenty-five years, and has our government during the whole of that pe ed been treacherous in its policv has it been violating the laws nf nations, and Iho obligations ot treaties, and giving just caiis of war to Turkey, to Spam, and to Mexico.' it this is true, ihun we hove had for more Ihan twenty. five years the most landless uoverniuenl upnn earth. Where was you sir, during the Texan content? You wns high 111 office, high the confidence of the administration and the people, and if the course of the o-nv ernrnen was wrong, why did not you come nut upon ihe subject. Why did you not express your views wuli regard to the in terferenco of our citizens and the dutte of tho administration lean answer fur you, you were loo bii'ily engaged in those pittlul political intrigues uy which you ob mined your present elevation lo nl tenil to the concerns of the country. The pcoplo of llie south had set their hearts on Ihe independence of Texas and had you taken any mea-urus to prevent 11 yon might have lost a vote for the Presi dency, and tins with you was sufficient In outweigh any other consideration. Thro' all these revolutions our laws have re. inained the same, and our government has frequently declared that they had done all they were hound to do to preserve our neutrality. Tins at last, o far as it relates lu Texas' ynu have sanctioned by your, s-Heiice. It these declinations were true if nur government had done its duly by other nations, why dn inoro lo fuvur England? If the old law did cmw up to the mark, why go bvoml it nn her account? Do we owe mure In England than to other Counlrie.-? IJ the law of nations to re ceive one construction where England is interested, and another where it concerns Mexico, or have wo any treaty with Eug laud that binds us to assist her in main laming bur bwaynver her colonies? Why have yon been calling for stronger laws, nnd pulling ihn con 11 1 ry to such immense expense, to aid her gracious majiy ihe Queen 111 her contest with her subjects? We may make the best answers we can lo ihen inquiries, hut the whole civilized world will entertain but one onini.iu upon th'jsuhject They will believe your con duct proceeded from cowardice. They will sny Mexico wns weak and yon could beard her courageously, Enelmul wns strong and you truckled to her. You may not. feel this as degrading in the least.

Their food consists of black bread, cabbage and other vegetables, with, out the addition of any butler. Poland. In Poland the nobles are tho proprietors of the laud, and tho peasants are slaves. A recent traveller says. "I travelled in every direction, and never saw a wheaten loaf lo the eastward of the Rhine, in any part, or north Germany, Poland, or Denmark.'1 Tho common food for ihe peasantry of Poland "Ihe wotking tnan"is cabbage and potatoes; some times, but not generally, peak black bread and soup, or rather gruel, without tho addition of butter or meat.
