Robert -) tells, as a prominent feature in 'his own gaming experience. When he war * : only a Georgia colonel," (by virtudKbf a law ;S ' license and .a very commanding figurfr,) he was on a visit, one day, tp a friend of his, onoJvTeal Greer, in the neighborhood of Ath;* * " enfcfGa. It seems that about this time, the i \ ' -Athens Branch Railrond was 1n rather a P "* ' shaky condition. "A good deal of money . . had beeit paid. in, aria a good deal of work '. * .^Aad been done ; but times were getting tight, ythe stock holders were g'-tting restive, (and . cost tve,J'-and tlto niml was" regarded as any Ti1 ' - thing but a " fixed fact." Perhaps the esti, H* _ mule hml been made too low, and theft* 1 V v? was a prospect that till the money wuuld be v. expended, white yet a good -deal of road '* ' .* jfemaiued unbuilt. At any rati-, the stock , t* wa? "J>elow par," and the holders thereof etyt'&vheart. Sitting in the piazza with his ' - - old cTitfm, Bob, (the aforesaid cohaic),) Nwl ?. ? picked vp hn "Athens n'ewspa]H:r, and glair-' ? * feci^ Wki ng^y < ,U a:: m check blamli^d; rtnd with his ?j? qoivering4ie t-jaculated: iiuu wuiuiwum iu ua a email '.circular- thro^ini ?r boot, and p^peni; and ? taking a pack- of cardb from a small drawer, j he took a seat and invited Bob to M face" < him. l Bob counted out $2,250 iu band notes, laid them on the tabic, and plaeotLa weight . : upon them and the scrip, and was^drawing 1 jup his chair, when Mm. Greer, muct? excited. ? rushed into tho piazza. (She had been ' watching the proceedings of the gentlemen from a parlor window whore nlie sat sewing.) , " Gentlemen," she exelaimed, M for heaven's sake don't go to gambling here. Re- * member you are old friends?school-mates ?college-mates. Don't-, I entreat you, go ' to gambling with each other for large stakes like?" " Madam !" shouted flrcer. as the perspi- j ration streamed down his forhead, and he ^ shook with an ague of excitement. "Mad- i am ! go ami superintend your ducks and ? I ! lnnlr fiftnt* VAtir i\ii? oa.,1 I 1 - ? 1 ? ? I" * I'.?serves, and your dairy, and nil that?but j don't interfere with my railroad stock* 1 Don't madam," he continued, with his teeth i set rind hissfngliis words out? "don't, I say, 1 for this is the only chance I ever had, or ever shall have, to- get off tho cursed ' stuff at par, and I'll do it or dio.1" MI implore you, then, Col.?," said the good lady, w to refuse to continue this scenc. J You certainly do not wish to win anytliijng , from my husband, and I am sure ho does not wish to win from you?" - ^ " Madam !n roared Greer, " leave my railroad stock; and go look after your poultry ! I tell you I'm not gambling, but I will not lose this opportunity of trading my stock ( off at par!" r ? Mrs. Greer went away sadly, seeing that j her interference only irritated her husband, and the playing commenced. Fortune ^ vouchsafed her favors very eauallv for some little time, and it stood at length Bob six to Ned five,j?nd the hands were dealt for'the final struggle. Before either party, however, took up the his cards, Ned's eyes sought n farewell glance of his scrip and the hank notes, when of a sudden his expression changed, and, making a grab at the scrip, , with desperate emotion, lie exclaimed : " Oh, by thunder, Bob, mv stock is pretty dead, but it aint ni//k us dead as that, yet ?" pointing to the roll of bills; which were the promises of the "old broken bank of Macon /" a large amount of which had come into Bob's possession professionally. At tea thatevenincr Hob remarked fn Mn Greer flint she reared sucli quantities of poultry she ought t6 send her surplus to Athens to sell. " Fin afraid. Colonel D.," she remarked, in a quiet way,glancing from Bob. to her husband, " I should prove but h poor hand at getting my stock ofl at par, j especially while there is so much worthless money in the country." . Bo^nughed, but Ned didn't; and that's the end, of tlie story about railroad stocky? except that I 'believe Greer did finally get it i off at parr?Mobile Register. Not Bad.?The Piscataquis Observer is responsible for th?* following: A gentleman called at a hut in the Aroosttiok vallev and requested .some dinner. The i lady, her spouse being absent, refused to supply his necessities for money or for the love of humanity. * .
