"Ha! ha! He's just the greenest chap you ever dealt to.

Which you did, of course, ha! ha!" Of course I did." "Well, what then f "Why, nothing, only I'm satisfied he's a good subject to victimize, that's all!" Well, that's enough! Let's victimize him!" -Well,let>! Ha! ha!" "Well, as you're on intimate terms with 1 him, invite him to our room, and perhaps we can induce him to take a hand.' "I'll do *!" And he did; and there you see him when -we first introduced him, making one of the party of three, engaged in an "animated game or brag," as a "sport" would say. "My deal!" he exclaimed, after one of hie competitors had "raked down the pile," and passed to hira the "deck"?in sporting parlance, a pack of cards. The cards were dealt again. "Pass to come in again!" exclaims one. "Brag," save another. "Paea out, sings out the third. The two that were "in," appeared rather shy of one another. Thoy were cantious, and therefore the betting was not very extensive. "I raise you lire," says one. "Call," says greeny, and be took the pile ?rather a small one, however. like all other games played \? ith cards, in that of "brag," the dealer has an .opportunity to "stock" them, as it is termed?that is, dealing himself a winning hand when he feels disposed, end at the seme time know exactly the "figures" in his opponents hand. Ana iliia wan the game they were playing I 22 the "chap from the South." letting him j win occasionally. jnat to keep hie spirits up, bat confident to eventually squeeze from his purse a pretty round sum. The game wee en animated one. as we aid before. One would win, and then another?the "chap from the South" sharing an equal amount of luek. Champagne was freely quaffed, and gaod cheer predominated. As it grew late, however, the game became more animated?the beta were larger?"the chap from the SouthV, winning's Mere uofrequent. Still bis ioeere did not ?leant to a great deal. The last dw.1 finally same the moetaniMstad ef any of the previous ones. "Pass out," save ens of the gamblers. "Brag," says the ether, as be "socked up" i * V. "Sake von ten," eathuafcntteally exclaims | Iks chap from the South, Me countenance tightening up, ^ and Me fingers nervously 1 better!" eeetty says the ^Tbe chap from the South evidently began le "euijlt n misc." He examined hie sards ; mns mors, and finally went n V better. bat s very small portton of his b?ts?thcii amount being carefully registered on a piece of paper that laid or the table, which, among gentlemanly "sports," Is equivalent to beinf put up. ' Show you hand ? What have you gotT says the gambler. "Two bullets and a bragger !" says the chap from the South. "Won't d"l Two bullets and a braggei here, and I've got the age of you!" excluimi the gambler, spreading out nis hand upon the table, and taking down the atakes. 'I he chap from the South caved in?aaid he guessed he'd quit, which the other partic: readily acquiesced in, and of course, the game waa "broke up." The figures being added up, it waa die. covered that the chap from the South waa indebted to hia opponenta just 9'J50 ! "Here's a check on the State bank," aaya he, "for 55CC. As I have net the amount in money, you will do me a kindness to take what I owe you from it, and give me the balance." "Certainly, air, certainly P* aaid the gambler. The check waa endorsed, the balance ( 360) paid over to the chap from the South, and after imbibing a quantity of lleidseick imoking two or throe regalia?^took his leave. "Ha! ha! Two fifty isn't bad to take' is it, Faek !" ext (aims the one who had acted as 'roper in," after his victim had gone. "Pretty fair n'.ght's work. Bob," sava the ither, and before they retired to bed that light, they indulged in a considerable mount of good humor and ioking at their ixtraordinary streak of gook luck. The next morniug, quite early, they were Wakened by a loud knock at their bed-room "Who's there P* sings out one. "Only me, ash! a letter for one of you jen'leraen," replies one of the darkey waiters. ^ The door was opened, and the letter han"Dear Bui take an early train for the Soutl^^^^Birning, it will be impossible for me vSFfil^ you.

In future, remember that Alabama data are not aa easily 'done' as you irangine." It is needless to speak o&the astonishment of the two gamblers. IVrabns of ordinary imagination can readily conceive their amazement. But in justice to them, we must say that they took the affair philoaiphically and :oolly. just as members of their profession generally take everything. "Sold!" "Regularly sold!" "A good joke !" A a n good joke!" Were the exclamation* that followed the perusal of the note.

He bad been detained from borne one night until tolerably late, and when he arrived there, just as he got upon the steps of his door, he happened to turn his bead, and there, not ten steps from the bouss, he spied a large black snake basking in the beams of the moon.? Obadiah had, in common parlance, a Mhou*efull of children," and he loved thew dearly and cherished them tenderly; and all the anxiety of tbe parent for his offspring was aroused in bis bosom, lis shuddered at the thought that one of them might be bitten by the ugly serpent; and for once the parental anxiety for his children overcAD)? bis constitutional iufirmitv ?at least to some extent. But he would be cert in that it was a snake before he proceeded to execute any of the many plans that floated confusedly through his brain, and for this purpose h< fixed his eyes steadily upon it: and sur< enough he saw it move. This was enough He sprang to tbe door and began to bat ter it witn his fist and call loudly for hii spouse, keeping his eyes all tbs time fixed upon the snake, lest it should make iti escape. His wife was asleep?theservan girl who slept in the house was asleep ? the children were all asleep; and Obadiat was in a "fix." What if the horrid thine .1 i J * iiuuiu cume at nimi Jtlo almost jumpec out of his skin at the bare thought; ant he kicked the door lustly end bawled foi bis wife with all the power of bis lungs. The kick and the squall broke the spel of Morpbeous, and his spouse arose, alarmed at the unusual conduct of h?r "lord.' She knew he was too good a Temperanet man to get "tight," And at once gueaseti that he had seen a snake. Hut no sooner did she answer his call than he enlightened her: "lly gun! my gunj?quick!?here ii a great snake right in the yard, and it might bite erery one of them. Oiee m< my gun?quick!" His gun was quickly in his hands, ant! in a tnomen he let fly a large load of shot at the "pesky critter;" and knowing h< had now done all he could do, he bonnd ed into the house, slammed to the door and went to bed. n s * j&ftriy next morning, be aroee end open ed tbe door very cautiously to eee the ef (ret of hie shot.

There 1 is not an extraordinary amount of business before the Court, nor is there a ease of any material interest, excepting to those personI ally concerned.

The following, from the Camden Juurnal, was accidentally left over from last week's paper. Hearing but little said recently, about the Railroad, we have inquired whnt were our prospects. All that we can give our rfpders from what we could gather, ap< pears to be this:? The subscription from Camden, amounts nominally, to nothing. It appears that the subicribers there, annex this proviso to thcii subscriptions :?That the Road must be continued to Concord, or sonic other point in North Carolina. Of course, as the Charter now stands, the Road, in event of being built, must connect either at Camden, Chester or Ridgcway, from Lancaster, therefore, the President, Directors and subscribers,? have no jurisdiction in the matter. We understand thst the Charlotte Railroad Company intend making us a proposition ; what it will bo, wo are not preparod to say. Lancaster Rail Read. The sum of $47,750 haslteen subscribed to the Lancaster Koad by individuals of the toon and district, which, together vrHhertresiim of .U.iiU U our was (Juuncil, iiintwetlie su|p of L7,750. Whether this will secure the enterprise or not, it shows that there is at least a disposition on the part of some of our citizens to keep Camden up?to continue her "ft place in the picture." There is a strong probability that as soon as the Lancaster ft ail It. tad is commenced at Camden, a movement will bo made at one? by North Carolina to extend tlit road frotn Lar.cater to Conoord, or some other point, l?v which a continuous line will he made from Charleston connecting finally, with the central Rail Road from Raleigh. This is one of the anticipated results which the present movement i? expec.ed to effect. Of course the Roac must first be made, or started to Lancastei before North Carolina will take hold of it That they would do so, hardly can U doubted.? Cnuxlen Journal. The Tree thatHever Fades.

Mr. Editor :?Since my last letter wc have been favored with visits from two mem. bers of the Cabinet, Messrs. Dobbin snd Marcy. The former came on official business and during his aojourn hers, made a formal inspection of the Br^k'yn Navy Yard, lis > left this city for Boston, where he is at present staying. The chief object of Mr. Marcv'a viatt. ia aniH In K? lk? t? i his presence, of the conflicting wing* of hii party : to what extent he suceceeded has nol transpired. Before leaving the city, he visit ed Vanderbilt's famous steam yacht, the Nor them Star, which has just returned from making the maretime tour of Europe. It , has consequently been reinored that Government intend* purchasing this vessel for the purpose of sending out the minister to Chi. on, and letting it remain therefor his use and at his disposal. As the auptirfluous funds I in the Treasury, have already excited no little discussion and are likely to cause some trouble, before they arc finally disposed of, it would not be n bad plan to invest in this way, a port'on of the overplus?especially as . it seems to nflbrd the only means of getting a representative to the celestial empire, in time for his negotiations to do us any good. The quiet village of Tarrytown, which lies on the Hudson River, nbout thirty miles n bove the city, was thrown into an unprecedented state of excitement, on Thursday last, > by the dcdecation of a monument, to consi mcmornte the spot w here Major Andre was ' captured, Sept. *iSd, 1780, by three American Soldiers, Paulding,Van Wert nnd Willinms. Governor Seymour was present, and pronounced the dedicating Address. Mr. Raymond, ofthe New York Times, delivered the oration of the day, w hish was a highly , interesting one, filled with reminiscences of that trying period. The military turned out in great number*, both from Westchester, and the adjoining counties, nnd made a brilliant display. The monument is twenty six feet in height, and consists of aconical shaft, mounted on n square pedestal. The marble is from a Sing Sing quarry, and is the gift of the Ststo. The erection, which It is supposed will cost $15.00, has been undertaken by the people of Westchester County. The miMsmit stands vn tlie_exact spot where mo capture took place ; WniTam"TTiytor, ? colored man, who owned the ground, having presented it to the Association, to be thus commemorated. The Cuban Residents of this city, and oth* i era who sympathize with their revolutions ry efforts, held s meeting last Saturday, to take measures for procuring and presenting 1 a testimonial of their respect to the Hon. D. 1 M. Barkixger, late American Minister to ' Spain. This gentleman has peculiar claims ' on their gratitude, in consequence of u the I efforts he so successfully made to alleviate , the sufferings of their countrymen, when | prisoners in Spain and Africa, as well as his r patriotic exertions in favor of Cuba," A . committee has been appointed to draw up an > appropriate address to be presented to Mr. Bnrringer, along with some more substantial evidence of their respect. John S. Thrasher, so long s sufferer from the tyranny of Captain-Generals, took a prominent part in ' the proceedings. J Several important additions have been late ;r tn.ide to our current literature. Profess* or Tilliman, of Yule College, has issued,-? . through the medium of Putnam's Press, hie i visit to Europe io ISA I. Like Sir Charles ' Lyell, in hie American tour, he views most that meets his eye through scientific specticles, ever sniious to obtain a nd record information on those subjects to which he has de' voted his life. Yet he lias gathered much I that will have its attractions for the miscellaneous reader, and need not fear a eonipnr* . isor. with the thouaand-and-oue tourists who - have proceeded him. Another book of trav1 cU has also made its appearance from the ' Harpers' gigantic establishment, entitled " Men and Thin: s in Europe." It is from J the pen of the Rev. Nicholas Murray, better r known in controversial circles as Kirwmm, the Protestant Knight Errant, ever ready for . a tilt with the partisans of papacy. ThssuI Ik? 1- v *--? - ??* i i mvi, mm wm iu uu r* pmca, win nn views I of things from a religious aland point, ilia wanderings through England, France, Italy and Switzerland, form the subject of this . volume. Mr. Headly, the fainons author of "Washington and his Generals," die., has likewise taken the held with a new book.? It is a his ory of "Our second War with England," and is written in Mr. ilsadley'c i brilliant,but incorrect style. It is a pity ' that the author had net studied grammar,? " not rhetoric, a little mors carefully before | presenting himself at the tribunal of literary I criticism. Among graver works, we have an American Reprint of Sir William llam| ilton's works, without which no mas of contemplative mood or metaphysical tendeodcncies, eaa deem his library complete.?

The \ cry eight of his multifarious knives, sharp, glittering and murderous, ia enough to make the flesh creep,*nd to call forth feeling jeremiads on the frailty of poor human nature. If the peace societies would only make a display of those formidable in* \ atrumcnta on the tattle field before an on' gagement, they would accomplish more than by all tho eloquence and speech-making in the world. May you and 1, good reader,? never have occasion to make a more intimate acquaintance with M. Channere and his tools 1 than we now possess. In illustration of the costume oi the French Peaaanta, we have in the fair quite a ' collection of Sabots, or wooden shoes?of all sizes, to suit cither the over-grown mem' ber of a grenadier, or the tiny foot of one of tho lovlioat of Eve'a rural daughters. How the latter can endure such clogs on their grace and agilitv is a sroblenv WK?? ?? 1 compartments for a rustic dance! With ' auch literal drawbaeka, how can the peasantry of France be such devotees of Terpsichore ? Some of these Sabots, howevcr,arc very neatly finished ; the bost-favored among them bear quite a resemblance to leather. A Florentine sculptor named Pusquale Romnnclli has sent one of the finest pieces of Statnary in tho Exhibition. It represent! the son of Tell, immediately after his fathers arrow has picreed the npple on his head. Tho boy's ficc is a miracle of lovlineas, and his attitude is faultless. lie is rifting from hie kneeling poeWre; the bandage has fallen from his eyes, and his head is half turned to ascertain the result of his father's shot. An expression of lively admiration and plsoaure lights up his face, as he beholds the apple pierced by the arrow, and piuned to an adjacent tree.
