Campbell had a littlo more bibli? cal knowledge than his antogonist, and asked him if the clan of the McLeans was before the flood. "Flood I what flood ?" asked Mclean. "The flood," you know that dronwed everything in the world but Noah and his family," said Campbell. "Pooh 1 you and your flood," said Mo Lean "My clan was afore the flood." "I have- not read in my bible," said Campell, "of ihn names of McLean going into Noah's ark." "Noahte ark L" retorted MoLean in de? rision, "Who ever heard of a McLean that hadn't a boat of his ain ?" ? Custom without reason is no better than ancient error. AXD THE WIDOW^S GrAINl At nightfall on an autumnal evening, when tho stars were just beginning to twinkle overhead, like diamonds on a can? opy of azure, two young men were stand? ing together, engaged in conversation, on tho steps of the JBlack Eaglo, a fashiona? ble hotel in one of the principle streets of the gay and colebrated eity of Vienna. One of them woro the rich uniform of an Austrian hazzar?tho other was clad in the civic costume of a gentleman. rtSo all is completed at the Ministry of "War, oxcopt the signature of tho commis? sion^ and tho payment of tho purchase money ?" said the soldier. "Exactly so." \ "And to-morrow, then," continued the huzzar, ft am to congratulate you on tho command of a company, and salute you as Captain Ernest Walstein." Tho last speaker was Captain Christian i : Steinfort, an officer who had seen somo I two years' service. i "Ah! my boy!" continued he, twirling j his jet black moustache, "your uniform will be a passport to the smiles of the fair. But you already seem to have mado your way to tho good graces of Madame Von Berlingen, the rich widow who resides ati this hotel." "Bah I sho is forty," answered Ernest, carelessly. "But in fine preservation, and a beauty for all that," said Captain Stoinfort. "Tho "Baron Von Dangorfield was desperately ! in love with her, but within a very few \ days the widow seems to have cut him. j You are the happy man, after all." "Undeceive yourself, my dear Chris? tian," said Ernest, blushing. "I have only flirted with the handsome widow. My hand is already engaged to a charm? ing girl, Meena Altenberg, the playmate of my infancy, adopted and reared up by my father. I am to marry hor as soon as I get my company." "And what is to support you, Captain Ernest?" "My pay, of course, and the income of tho moderate dowry my father proposes to give his favorite. So you see my lot in life is settled." "Precisely so," roplied the Captain. "But since you are free this evening, I ongago you to pass it with mo. Have you got any money about you V "A good deal. Besides the price of my commission, which is safely stowed away in bank notes in this breast pocket, I have a handful of ducats about mo, with which I propose purchasing somo trinkets for my bride. But I havo a gold piece or two that I oan sparo if?" "Pooh! pooh! I'm well enough provi? ded," answered the Captain. " Youknow this is pay day. Come along." "But whithor?" "You shall see." With these words the Captain thrust his arm within that of his companion, and the pair walked off at a rapid rate. After passing through several streets, Steinfort halted and rang at the door of a stately mansion. It was opened by a servant in handsome livery, and tho young gentlemen entered and wont up stairs. Walstein soon found himself in a scene very different from any of which he had ever dreamed in his simplo rustic lifo up? on his father's farm. Around a large deal-table covered with cloth were seated more than a dozen of persons of different ages, all so intent upon what was going forward that the captain and his friend took their seats unnoticed. At tbo head of the table sat a man in a gray wig, with a pair of green spectacles upon his nose, before whom lay a pile of gold, and who was busily engaged in paying and rccciv ing money, and in giving an impetus to a small ivory ball which spun, at intervals, its appointed course. Walstein soon learned that this was a rouge-et-noir table. The gentleman in the gray wig was the banker. "Make your game, gentlemen," said this individual, "while tho ball spins. Your luck's as good as mine. It's all lack, gentlemen, at rouge-et-noir. Rouge et-noir, gentlemen, the finest in the world. Blaok wins?yours, sir?twenty ducats, and .you have doublod it. Make your game?black or red ?" "Try your fortune, Ernest, said the captain. Ernest mechanically put down a few ducats on the red. "Eed wins," said the banker, in the same monotonous tone. "Make your gamo, gentlemen, while the ball rolls." Why need we follow the fortunes of Ernost on this fatal evening, as he yield? ed, step by step, to the seduotion to whioh he was now exposed for the first time in his life? Long after Steinfort left the gambling house he continued to play. I His luck turned. He had soon lost all winnings, and the money set apart for his bridal presents. He had broke the I package of bank notes, the money he had ; received from his father for the purchase of his commission, and though he saw bill after bill swept away before his eyes, he continued to play, in the desperate hope of winning back his losses. At length his last ducat was gone. He rose and left the room, the last words ringing in his ear, being: "Make your game, gentlemen, while the ball rolls." Despairing and heart-stricken, the young man sought his hotel and his chamber. On the staircase he encounter? ed Madame Von Berlingen, but he saw her not?his eyes wore glazed?he did not notice or return her salutation. He threw himself upon his bod without un? dressing, and toward morning he fell into an unrefreshing and dream-peopled slum? ber. When he arose late the next day he looked at himself in the glass, but scarce? ly recognized his own face, so changed was he by the mental agonies he had un? dergone. When ho had paid some little attention to his toilette ho received a message from Madame Von Berlingen, requesting the favor of an interview in her apartments. He mechanically obey? ed thb summons, though ill fitted to sus? tain a conversation with a lady. The widow requested him to be seated. "Mr. Walstein," said she, with a smile, "you are growing very ungallant. I met you last night upon the staircase, but, though I spoke to you, you had not a word or a nod for me." "Last night, madam," answered the unfortunate young man, "I was beside myself. 0, madam?if you knew all.'1 ?I do know all," replied, the lady. "What! that I had been gambling* that I had thrown away?yes, those are the words?^every ducat of the money my poor father furnished me with which to purchase my commission.' "Yes?I know all that. But the loss is not irreparable." " Pardon me, madam. My father, though reputed wealthy, is unable to fur nish me with a similar sum, even if I were base enough to accept' it at his hands." "But if some friends were to step for? ward ?" "Alas! I know none." "Mr. Walstein," sa*d the iady, "I am rich; a loan of the requisite amount would not affect me in the least." "Ob, madam " cried the young man, "it you would indeed save mo by such gen? erosity, you would bean angel of mercy." "What is the amount of your loss ?" inquired the lady calmly, as she unlocked her desk. "Three thousand ducats," answered Ernest. "But I can give you no security for tho payment" "Your note of hand is sufficient," 6aid the lady, handing tho young man a pack? age of notes. "Please to count those, and see if the sum is correct. Here are writing materials." Ernest did as he was bid?counted tho money, and then sat down at tho desk. "Write at my dictation," said the lady. Ernest took up a pen and commenced. "Tho dato," said tho lady. Ernest wrote it. "Received of Anna von Berlingen the sum of three thousand ducats." Ernest wrote and repeated?-"tfe reo thousand ducats." "In consideration, I promise to marry! the aforesaid Anna Von Berlingen." "To marry you!" exclaimed Ernest. "Ay?to marry me!" said the lady. "Amideformed?am I ugly?am I poor?" "I cannot do it?you know not the rea? son that induces me to refuse." "Then go homo to your father apd con? fess your guilt." Ernest reflected a few moments. He could not go home to his father with the frightful tale. It was a question between suicide and marriago; ho signed the pa? per. "Now, then, Baron," said tho widow to herself, as she carefully secured the prom? ise, "you cannot say that you broke the heart of Annie by your cruelty. Take the money, Ernest," she added aloud, "go and purchaso your commission." Ernest obeyed. His dreams of yester? day morning had all been dissipated by his own act; he felt a degraded and bro? ken-spirited criminal. He had sold him? self for gold. "Hero comes Captain Ernest 1" cried a youthful voice. And a beautiful blue eyod girl of nineteen stood at tho garden gate of a pretty farm-house, watching the approach of a horseman, who gaily at? tired in a huzzar uniform, was galloping up the road. At her shout of delight a sturdy old gray-haired man came forth and stood beside her. I "Captain Ernest!" ho repeated, "that ' sounds well. When I was of his age, I only carried a musket in the ranks. I [ never dreamed then that a son of mine I could ever aspire to tho epaulette." Ernest, waving his band to Meena Al? tenberg and his father, rode past them to tho stablo, where he left his horse. Ho then rushed into the farm-house, where his father met him. "What is tho meaning of this, boy?" he said. "How wild and haggard you look! And you have avoided Meena?and this, too, upon your wedding-day." "My wedding-day?0, heaven ! I shall die I" said tho young man, sinking into a seat. As soon as ho could collect himself, he told his father that ho could not marry Meena, and tho reason?that he had pledged himself to another. The old man, who was the soul of honor, burst into violent imprecations and drove him from his presence. As he left the house, the unfortunate young man encountered a person whom he at once recognized as the baron Von Dangerfiold, the reputed suitor of Madame Von Berlingen. "I have been looking for you, Captain Walstoin," said the Baron, sternly, i * "And you have found me," answered tho young man shortly. "Yes?and I thank heaven yen wear that uniform. It entitles you to meet a German noble, and answer for your con duct." "I am answerablo for conduct to no living man," retorted Ernest. "You wear a sword." "Yes." "Very well; if you refuse to give sat? isfaction for the injury you have done me, in robbing me of my mistress, I will proclaim you a coward in the presence of the regiment upon parade." "Oh, make yourself easy upon that score, Baron," answered Ernest. "Life is of too little worth for me to think of shielding it. If you will step with me into the shadow of yonder grove, we can soon regulate our accounts." The two men walked silently to the appointed spot, and, without any prelim? inary, drew their swords and engaged in combat- The struggle was not of very long duration, for Ernest wounded hiB ad? versary in the sword-arm, and disarmed him. "Are you satisfied ?" he asked. "I must be for the present," replied tho Baron, sullenly. "When I recover, you shall hear from me again." "As you please," said Ernest, coldly. "In the meantime, suffer me to bind up your arm." The young man bandaged the wound of hiB adversary, and as he faltered from the loss of blood, led him toward the farm house. As they approached it, two la? dies advanced to meet them?one of them was Meena, the other was Madame Von Berlingen. "Dangerfield wounded V* cried the lat? ter, bursting into tears. "0,1 have been the cause ot this; forgive me, forgive me, Dangerfield, or you will kill me." "You forget, madam, that you belong to another." "I am yours only?I can never love another?nor does th6 person you allude to," added the lady, turning to Ernest, I "cherish an attachment to me." i "My only feeling for you, madam," said Ernest, With a meaning, "WOuld be grati? tude, wore a certain paper destroyed*'* * What is the meaning of all this 7" ask ?ed the father of Ernest, coming forward. "It means " said Ernest, tearing to atoms the promissory note he received from the widow's hands, "that I had very ugly dreams last night. I dreamed that J. played at rouge-et-noir, and lost all the money you gave me to purchase my com? mission with, and then that I made up the loss by promising?" "Hash!" said the widow, laying her finger on her lips. "Then it was all a dream/' said the old man. "Look at my uniform," replied the'Cap tain. "And what did you mean in the story you told me just bow ?" "Forget it, father," said Ernest. "Dear Meena, look urj, my love. It is our wed? ding-day ; and if you do but lovo me I'm the happiest dog ?hat wears a sabre -and a dollman." That very day, two weddings were cel? ebrated in the farm-house, tboso of Cap? tain Ernest Walstein with the fraulion Meena Altenborg,-and Baron Von Dan gerfield with tho yet beautiful and Weal-, thy widow. Tho Captain never tried his luck again at any game of chance.
