Yes said Mrs Darling, "you seem to have

thus far had Mudaw proceeded, and know
not to what length she would have "allowed

Col Philpot interrupted her. He being q per-
son OF whom she stood some what in awe. par
tIcuIarly 'Just at this time, she broke off in the
midst OF her TRADE, and casting look of inef-
fable disgust at Mrs. Darling, retreated TO her
own doninons, to vent her fury upon poor Pep
gy, who had done everything wrong during her
absence.
While Col. Phil pot was expressing his ex
IRENE satisfaction at seeing Mrs. Darling, Mrs
Phpot emerged from the library, where she
had been shaking in her shoes during the inter
view between that lady and Mudlaw.
matilda, my DEAR" said the Colonel, '.ths is
quite an unexpected pleasure, for really Mrs.
Darling, we began to teor that you did not intend
to cultivate.
Il did not come for that purpose" replied Mrs.
| Darling, who, now that she saw through Col
| Philpot, dcspised him thoroughly, and was not
not afraid to let him know it notwithstanding
he belonged to the arstocracy of our town. Il
came on an errand, and your cook has got very
angry with me for some reason, scarcely know
| what"
"Poor Mudlaw," said Mrs Philpot, anxious to
screen her main stay from the CoonePs dis
pleasure, yet feeling the necessity of some apol-
ogy to Mrs. Darling. "Poor Mudlaw! | don't
think she intended to be rude"
"What! has the cook been rude to Mrs. OAR
ling?" exclaimed Col. ?.
"Not rude, exactly, dear, but you know she is
so sensitive about everything connected with her
department, and she tancied that Mrs. Darling
called her skill in question, and became some
what excited.
"Quite excited, should call it, said Mrs D.
with smile
Aud she has been rude to tIeat Mrs Darling
rudely!" said Col. p, apparently much agta-
ted. shameful disgraceful the wretch shall
suffer for it to thirk that lady like Mrs. Oar
ling, should be insuIted by q cook in my house,
too ="
"And lust before election too; it is a pity 7"
said Mrs. Darling quietly, as she rose and wished
them good morning, departed, leaving Col. Phil
not lost in establishment. Her last remark rem
deYed necessary some explanation from Mrs. F.
She was compelled to repeat some part OF the
conversation that had taken place in the kitchen,
which, though softened down as much as posi-
bic, was sufficient to rouse the Coonel's indig-
nation to the highest pitch, for he saw at once
that Darling was lost. He gave his silly wife
hearty blowing up, bat upon Mudlaw his wrath
fell heaviest No in,reaties Of her mistress could
save her; she was commanded to quit the prem
ises, to troop forthcitb, "ior being rude TO ysi-
tors" But AIudlaW knew we'll enough the real
reason Of her dismissal, and whom she went forth
in rave and sorrow, she found some consolation
in spreading it far and wide, thereby making Col.
Philpot very ridiculous in the eyes the commu-
nifty
"Wel, I'm surprised Hester" said John OAR
ling Latter his wife had given him circumstantai
account of her visit And I'm right sorry too,
to have any good opinion of a man knocked in
the head, 40, for did think we'll Of Colonel Phil
pot. Ireally believed we couldn't send better
manto Congress- But it wont do. a man that
can stoop to such conduct isn't fit to 60 there.
! can't vote for him; and my influence, what
little have; must 90 against him. 1t he gets
there, it must be without any help from John
Darling"
Col. PhApot did not 90 to Congress, and what
made the defeat the more aggravating was the
fact, that his opponent was elected by the small
majority Of three votes. And so Col. PhiipOt
lost his election; and Mrs Phjlpot lost her cook:
and Mr. Darling lost his esteem for Col Phil
otand all through the over-Poliiness of the lat
ter.
And was there nothing gained Q yes Mrs.
Darling gained something. Not much intorma-
ton in regard to the potato pnddlng, certainly;
but she gained some knowledge to the internal
arrangements of Mrs PhllPot's household which
proved of great service to her, for she confessed
TO John that she was never 50 contented with
her own household, and her own husband as She
has been since she made visit to the house OF
Col. Philpot.
GAuBLNG.-A taste for gambling is easily
excited, but when fairly aroused, is too strong to
be readily allayed Nor is it alone IN dram-shoPs
ana riotlng.houses that this accused passion is
first stimulated TO action. The following facts,
given by a correspondent of the Western RecoT-
der, show that customs and practices have been
introduced within the vesubule of the Christian
church. which are directly calculated to inspire
the novice with a taste for games Of hazard;

minister to converse with his son, who had for
