NrThe st. Louis correspondent of the savannah
Georgian furnishes an item illustrative of the
terrible fascination Of gambling. he says that a
singular mode of betting is resorted to on Sundays,
on the Western waters, on which day there is no
card playing allowed. The gamblers sit around a
table. each having before him a lump of sugar;
a stake isput up by the players, anu he upon
whose lump a fly lights first wins the .tpile.1-
They also make side bets among themselves upon
this important event. The excitement often wakes
high, as the hyhovers over and around the sweet
moryels undecided upon which to feast.

street Etiquette.

A correspondent of the Yankee Notion inquiries
" Should lady, walking with gentleman,
pcct him always give her the wall Which arm
shodld lady take generally" To which the ed
itor replies thus:
A gentleman should, generally, give the lady his
right arm and if he does not give her either arm as
is usually the case with young people, he should
walk at her left side the same. Here is the rea-
SON. In meeting people in the street, it is rulablo
to turn to the right, and thus a gentleman will
more easily protect his lady from being elbow-
ed, than he could do if he he walked ON her
right.
The practice Of changing SIDES every time you
cross the street, in order that the lady may walk
on the inside, consider o most absurd and ludi.
crous custom.
A few days since was tempted to laugh i'm
moderately on seeing party Of six couple cross
the street and change sds after the other with
scrupulous precision, like soldiers obeying the or
der Of officer.
There can be no rule upon this subject however.
Young people should avoid affcctation. and uso
their judgment. Let gentleman change sides with
lady even if he places her at his left the wall.
or to show her novelties which she could not sec
so we'll at his right it is act ofpoliteness which
shows his discrimination and kindness of heart
tor which he should feel thankful. But the prae-
tice of giving the lady the inside unfortunately.
has no foundation in reason, and requires to be re-
formed by the few sensible young people who ara
too independent TO follow fashions which are man.

We should make it point of principle to
extend the hand of friendship to every man
who discharges faithfully his duties, and
maintains good order; who manifests deep
interest in the welfare of general society
whose department is upright, and whose
mind is intelligent without stopping to con-
sider whether he swings hammer or draws
a thread. There is nothing SO distant from
all natural claim as the reluctant, the back
ward sympathy, the forced smile, the check
ed conversation, the hesitatng compliance,
the we'll off are apt to manifest to those a
little down, with whom in the comparison of
intellect and principles Of virtue they frequent
ly sink into insigniicarce.

1t is better to tread the path of life cheer
fully, skipping over the thorns and briers
that obstruct your way, than to set down un-
der every hedge lamenting our hard fate
The thread of cheerful mans life spins out
longer than that of man who is constantly
sad and responding. Prudent conduct in
the concerns of life is highly necessary-but
if distress succeed, detection and despair will
afford no relief The best thing to do when
evil comes upon us, is not lamentation, but &C
tion; not to sit and suffer, but to seek the
remedy.
