The Railway Trateler's Farewell to Hb Family. T'mi business call*4 the Father to tnvil by the rail; His eye was calm, bia hand was firm, although bis cheek wag pala. Ho look his little boy aad girl, and set them oa bis knee, Au 1 tbeir mother liung about bis neck, and her tears flowed fast and free. I' I'm going by tbe Hail, my dears?Eliaa, lore, don t cry? Now, kiss me bolli before I leave, and wlah pnpn good-by. J hope 1 eball be back again, lliia afternoon, to tea, and then, I hope, alive and well, that your papa you'll sec. I'm going by the Rail, my dear*, where the engines puif and hiss, And ten to one the chanoea are that aomethiag goes amiss, And in an instant, quick as thought?before you could cry "Ah!" An accident occur*, and?say good-by to poor paps! Sometimes, from scandalous neglect, my dears, the sleepers sink, And then you have the carriages upset, as you may think. The progress of the train, sometimes, a truck or coal-box checks, And there's a risk of poor papa's and everybody's necks. Or there may be e sorew loose, a lieok, or bolt or pin? Or else an ill-mado tunnel msy give way, and tumble in, And in the wreck tbo passengers, and poor papa remain Confined, till down upon them oomes the next Excursion train. If a policeman's careless, dears, or if not overbright, When he should show a red flag, it may-be he shows a white, Between tno trains in conssquence, there's presently a crash, If poor papa is only braised, he's lucky in the smseh. Points may bo badly managed, as they were the other day, ftccause a stingy Company, for bands enough won't pay, OvcrTlnd over goes the train?the engine off the rail. And poor papa's unable, when he's found, to tell I the tale. And should your poor papa escape, my darlings, willi his life, May ho return on tiro legs to his children and his rrlfp? With both his arms, my little dears, return your fond embrace, AhdsAturn to you, unaltered, erery feature of f' " bis face. I hope 1 slinll come back my denrs?but mind, 1 am insured? So ia case the worst may happen, you are so fee all secured. An action then will alse lie for you and your Matnmn? And don't forget to bring it?on account of your poor papa. ADVENTURE IN A GAMING HOUSE. It was in the Spring of 18?that I found mysolf gliding upon the waters of the mighty Mississippi, and hound for the Crescent City, ' New Orleans. With a single exception, I had formed no travelling acquaintances on board the boat, although I had been nearly two days apsn my journey, whioh was becoming somewhat monotonous.^ klhp individual with whom I, singularly ftaternixed, eeemod, like myself, to have bnt Utile inclination to extend his acquaintance among the passengers, though he iMliT^hfVr "j upon the lookout for some one, and from the close manner in which he tegarded the operations of two or three individuals, whose profuse display of vest chains and jewelry, and profioisncy with cards at the tables in the saloon, betrayed their profession, 1 more than once set him down as some sort of a police detective in disguise. He called himself George Thorn, of Kentucky } so his card read, whioh he gave me in exchnngo for mine. In trnth he was a noble specimen of the Due Grass State. Full six feet lu height, a clear intelligent blue eye, broad forehead, and light curly hair, muscular arms, and the.chest of a Hercules, he challenged the admiration of mors than one of the passengers, as, with his serious and never smllimr f*M paced tbo promenade deck, or sat apparently buried in thought in the saloon. 'Did ycu ever play at cards V said I to him, aa be led a group tbat were standing about a table of four players, and noting the progress of the game. I had frequently seen him in Tiled, but be invariably, like myself, refused to participate in the game. <0h, yes, but where is the use of playing hereJ tboso fellows (nodding towards the players) can tell every card in the pack by the hacks, and they are trying hard to plnck some poor pigeon from among the passengers, bnt with indifferent success ; beware of them, sir.' I thanked him for his friendly warning, and at the same time expressed my astonishment at his affirmation. To convince me of the traih of it, be called the steward of the boat, and ordered him to bring him a fresh paok of cards, which were brought, and he handed the pack to me, bidding me to shuffle them. I did so, when he immediately selected nearly every ace and king from thejpack without looking at the face of them. Next he dealt them in two parcels, one to mo and one to himself, when, npon examination, I fennd that the eards of real value in the game were in his hand, and I could not detect the least unfairness as he dealt them. You ate,' said he, smilingly, st my look of astonishment, 'the advantage an expert in these matters has over even n skilful player.' 'I do, indeed,' replied I, astonished at my fellow traveller's dexterity, and beginning to think he might be a reformed gambler, or playing possum' for some purpose or other ; but, as he did not nrge or even invite me to play, nor had played with any one else, and threw the cards aside with an ? ??i- 1 disgust too natural to be assumed, I came to the conclusion that my suspicions vers unjust, and my travelling acquaintance was n riddle ' yet to be solved. < Early the next morning the beat arrived at ' New Orleans, and, amid the hurry and bustle ' of debarkation, I lest ay friend the Kontaek- 1 ian, not even seeing him to bid him adieu. ' That same evening, however, after visiting the 1 theatre, I was enjoying the oool sir and a fragrant Havana, io the rotunda ef the St. Charles t Hotel, and conversing with a friend from the o North, whom 1 had fortunately met, whea I whom should I encounter but my steamboat no- v quaintance 1 After lb e usual greeting^ our conversation '1 turned upon sur trip <lo?u |he rivgr, our ftl- I lew passengers, is., when J fcllsw Ir-iveller remarked that if I would like to witness lbs t Interior af a gambling bouse, or 'bsll,' as it is r soma times more appropriate!/ callsd, ha would r be plsased to show li te gs es spa sf tbs sights a or 'liens' of the oil/.

We had passed through I two apartments, and reached a third, in which were bat four players, playing Iq< pairs at different tables. As we etolerwd, we sat down at an unoccupied table fur a moment, when, t as we did so, we heard one of the two men t nearest us say to his opponeni? That's the last dcllar; hick is yours, aad I'm cleaned out.' - 'But you wear a good ring,' said his oppo nent. 'See I I will give you a chance for renege. I'll back my ring against yours oa the I next game. It's a ring I won at play from a Kentucky boy that came to New Orleans to sea the sights,' said be carelessly. I How little did he know those words, ao i lightly spoken, had sealed bis doom. ] No 1' said his opponent, rising, I'll meet I yon to-morrow night. 1 won't pledge my i jewelry yet.' As the player, who was sitting with bis back i partially tarned towards ns, mentioned Ken- I tucky la his conversation, 1 saw Thorn listen I with osgerness, and as ho twisted the ring he offered to bet upon bis finger, I saw the Ken- t tuoklan turn deadly pale. His eyes glowed t like fire for an instant, then his countenance t strain resumed its usual r?lm nnrl nUci.t ? and, to our amatcment, he rose, mod walked ' across the apartment to the player, Who hod i just been left by hie companion, courteously < proposed to try a head or tyo with him If i agreeable, and If wfe, hie Meads, would cxcuie \ him far a short time. Of eouree we assented < so did the gambler, who appeared at first eomp- 1 what surprised at the proposition, but proh- i ably resolved to try his sUUl upon the new < comer. The cards were dealt, aad the game pre- i eeeded. We were aufflcietttly ndSi*Ho see that 1 the piece of gold whioh constituted the first i stake was won by our friend's opponent, so, t also, was the second. Ths third siahe Thorn I gained. And thus they went en alternately t winning and losing, till at last Thorn carelessly I observed : 1 'That's a pretty ring you offered to bet, a while ago, stranger. Will you sell it Tf I Well, aa to that,' said the other, 'jt'e pretty ' enough, and cost me enough?for a young fei- I low pledged it to me some three years ego aa a < sort ef note of hand, which he promised to re- t deem with five hundred dollars that he awed I ms?a debt of honor, sir?but he never paid < it, so 1 retain ths ring. No, stranger, I gueae * I won't sell it.' 1 'But the owner f You should have made I bim pay. Five hundred dollars is a dear price 1 for sueh a bauble.' 1 Why, as to that" said the player as he gathered np his cards for the next hand, '^e ' couldn't come to Ume very well, tot 'he paid 1 the debt of nature,' aa they say, the same 1 night, and that cancelled my obligation. Ah ! the stake'a mine?there's luck in this ring, 1 sir, I believe,' said he, as he drew the money ' towards him, 'suppose we try a larger stake,' and he prepared to shuffle the cards again. 1 'As you like,' said Thorn. 'Well, what shall it be V said his opponent, ' anything from one to five hundred f and be- 1 'threw a bank note of that denomination eart- ' leesly, as if in bravado, upon the table. To our surprise Thorn draw.a wallet from bis pocket, and produced an equal amount of ' money, then sweeping the cards they had beCn 1 using from the table to the floor, he called far a fresh pack, and pasting them, as the atlea- ( dant brought them to him, rapidly through his hand, be gave them to his adversary, remark- ] ing to him as ha did so, to'mind his deal this time,' fixing upon him a searchiag glance as ' he went through that operation. The game j was that known as 'bluff,' or 'poker,' I know 1 not which, but at any rate oae on which the ' players bet upon the eards they hold. Thorn J and bis oppontnt haring tack gUnced at thair , eards, eotnmenoed the game. -A*. 'I'll go yon one hundred,' said Thorn, commenoine. 'Two hundred better than that,' aaid hia opponent. 1 'Another hundred,' continued Thorn. 'n'm'ml three hundred better!' said the , gambler, producing the notes from bis poeket , book. 1 Three hundred more,' said Thorn, quietly. j The game was getting exciting to us as spec- , tat ore. Three thousand dollars lay upon the table te be deeided by the cards held by the 1 players, each of whom seemed from bis beta to beoinfideatof success, though their countenances betrayed not the least emotion. f One hundred more, said the gambler, again. I call yon,' said Thorn. ( 'Ah I three king$'and an ate/' aaid the sharper, triumphantly. ?

They were tcareely.aix paces apart after springing from Iheir chairs, and both drew their weapons as Lhey rose. 'Die I liar 1' shouted the gambler, discharging his weapon tho moment he gained bis feet. The bullet ripped open Thorn's waistcoat, and bis watch flaw in fragments from (he pocket, laagUog by Its chain , at the Mm* moment his trm, which was slowly rising, became rigid as that of a statue?the pistol he held exploded, ind the gambler fell back a corpse upon jhe Murpet. This all passed so suddenly ere we could interfere, that we stood as^Ifalmos paralysed for in instant, while the servants, tlarmed by the noise, and the police, came rushing into the apartment. Thorn quietly surrendered himself, merely turning to us and the other two who were in the room, saying, as be did so, 'Qeatlemen, bear witness, I fired in self defeoce, snd tbst I received that villain's first fire here,' and he pointed to his shalterod watoh with a smile, ind turning, left the roo-a with the officers. He was tried and acquitted, as it wss clearly proved that his adversary fired upon him first. The fact of the gambler being a notorious rascal, whom the community could well afford :o spare, might have had some influence with the jury.
