with the expression of his countenance.
His lips we're slightly compressed; his
brow shut down (f may use the term)
over his eyes, which were fixed like those
of man in fit.

There was a single explo,ion. The
Englishman sprung from his chair, and
fell heavily on the floor, his pistol going
off as he came to the ground. The ball
from the pistol of my friend had entered
his antagonists eye and lodged in his brain
instantly depriving him of life.

that appeared to ME unnatural and revol-

must answer for that mans death. 1t was
you who set him on-you have followed
me for a whole week with insults which |
was at last compelled to notice. Are you
satisfied, gentlemen, or would you like to
avenge the death you have causedP and
as he uttered these words, he surveyed
the groupe of Englishmen with an express
sion of countenance in a manner so con-
temptuous, that it was, as indeed he de-
signed it to be. an insult to each and ev-
cry one of tn persons addressed, one of
whom Immediately took it up and chall-
enged the insulter.
1t was in vain that protested, and ap-
pealed to my friend and his antagonists
to put stop to this wholesale murder.

The explosion followed the utterance
of the word two, and the EnslislIman
was dead-shot in the same place.

the same insulting calmness-'time pres

INFATUATION OF GAMING.

In the reign of queen Anne, MIR. Potter
owned one of the best estates in the county
Of Northumberland, in England. But he &C.
qured such passion for gaming, that, at a
single hazard, he staked and lost his house q
lands. After this was done, and as he was
going out of the gaming house, he turned a
bout aud insisted that the person he had been
playing with should give him chance 10 re-
cover his estate, or fight him. lie proposed
that bis carriage, the uinkets, and the loose
money be had in his pockets, should be staked
against his estate, His friends he;e inter
posed, but he would not listen TO them. He
PLAYED again and lost. He then conducted
The winner 10 his carriage, and informed the
coachman that he was his future master.
Being now houseess wander er. he worked
about the stables as q groom, and was same
times employed as maker at tie billiard
tables. He thus managed 10 earn miseI-
able livelihood, despised and jcered by ali
who formerly knew him. His cloths by this
lime were in rags, and his toes protruding
through his boots, and he was altogether
most loathsome sight. While he was in This
plight, former friend took pity on his con-
diliou and gave him ten gulneas. Will
five ofthis he bought himselfa suit oil clothes
and with the rest he repaired 10 the gaming
table Success followed afterwards until
he had amassed the enormous sum of thirty
Two thousand dollars, which was nearly
double what his estate was worth. But he
could not stop here. He continued gaming,
until by repeated losses he had lost his a
in about as short a space oil time as lie had
gained it. He died shortly afterwards in
misery.

Overthrows the temple of reason, ,undcmincs
hope, puts the blighting hand of death upon
faith: browns charity in the vortex of sem
suality; robs the mind of mercy ; throws
wide the gates of vice; kills the finest sen
sibiitics of our nature, and gives to its vic
tins the character of monsters. 1t has tri-
umphed in the sacrifice of man; has dstroy
ed enough Of human beings to raise noun
tains far more mighty than the lofty range
of the Andes or the eternal peaks of Him
malah; caused rivers of blood to flow; the
widow to mourn, and the orphan to vail.
1t sinks reason, ama5 ination, affection, con-
science and truth into the mirc of that unso
cial, selfish, slavish and sordid Indifference
which narrows the affections, contracts the
mind, and clogs up those channels through
which God, and nature designed should flow
the milk of human greatness. at home it
is an enemy, abroad n curse; in solitude a
thorn; i'll Society a devil; to genius a
poison; to vice guide; to virtue an enc
my. Under its influence what is man? a
splendid slore, vacillating between the digni-
ty of all intelligence derived from God, and
the degradation of brutal passions.
