The subjects of the Landgraye Of HON.
bourg, says late foreign letter, are forbid
den to gamble at Hombourg, Just as the
ieges of the Landgrave of Nauheim are for
hidden to play at Nauheim. But the HON.
bourgers are at liberty to play at Nauheim,
and nothing prevents the Nauheimers from
trying their luck at Hombourg. The two
towns are an hours journey from each
other. 1t seems that a money-changer, of
Hombourg, had exhausted his stock of gold.
which is worth a small premium. The
broker conceived the plan of attempting to
obtain change for l,0o0-franc bills at the
bank OF the Kursaal, and thus cunningly
avoid paying the customary discount. As
he could not personally carry this ingenious
project into effect without infringing the
ordinance above mentioned, he determined
to manage the affair by aid of some obliging
stranger.
Selecting very gentlemanly-look
player, the broker called him aside, ex-
planned his desire, and asked the gentle
manly-looking player to procure rouleau
of fifty Napoleons, in exchange for the 1000
franc bill, to which the other readily as
sented. But it SO happened that the gentle
manly-looking player had, but a moment
before, lost his sole remaining Louis, and,
as he approached the table, the demon Of
hazard whispered in his ear that the chance
of making 1000 francs on turn of the
cards, was not to be stupidity thrown away.
If he won, he would hand the rouleau to
the broker, and slip the bill into his own
pocket. Ifhe lost, the demon suggested an
admirable mode of clearing his skirts of
blame or responsibility. The demon tri-
umphed, and the gentlemanly- looking player
made his way through the crowd to the ta-
BILE, and tossed the bill upon it. A moment
afterward the l,000-franc note was raked
away by the croupier. With the most per-
feet GOODNESS, the gentlemanly- looking player
turned around and exclaimed, in a loud
voice. "My poor unfortunate Mr..
giving the brokers' name), your 1000
francs are dishedl It's your own fault l
told you color would lose, but you were OBJ
stinately determined to bet on color, and
now you see the consequence of neglecting
my advicel"
So the broker lost his 1000 francs, and had
also incurred the penalty of heavy fine for
.transgressing the laws.

A READING BORE EFFEorUALLY SILENcEp.
The bore who is the greatest of all bores is
he that reads to you aloud. If he reads his
own composition he deserves death. A Par
isian gentleman, afflicted with the presence
of q young poet who was given to this trick,
shut his mouth forever, in the following
manner: The bore had read poem an hour
long. At its close he was overwhelmed
with compliments and fluctuations, for there
is some remnant of lip-politeness yet extant
in Paris. But people looked into each others
cOuntenances with silent gloom. Was this a
precedent for future inhictions2 If So the
reunion might as well be. broken up at once.
The host, a gentleman of exceeding tact,
OWNED what was passing in the minds of
his guests, and restored confidence by
stroke worthy of a Talleyrand. Approach
ing the youthful poet, modestly awaiting
the anticipated tribute to his genius, the gem
tleman seized both his hands, and in a de-
lighted tone exclaimed, "My dear sirl You.
can not imagine how much am pleased and
astonishedl thought you were tenor,
when, in reality, your voice is very fine
baritoneP The incipient bard is not likely
to read any more verses in that house, as
may well be imagined. I,

SINGULAR ENCOUNTER BETWEEN Cows AND
GERsE.-We cut the following from the
West Highland &c. W. Journal of late
date: .-
On Thursday afternoon, a flock of about
twenty geese, belonging to Mr.. F. Hogg,
farmer, Blythe, wandered from the Links,
where they usually feed, into a field near
Crofton, where four cows were grazing. The
cows, on seeing them, beloved flriously,
and presently setting themselves shoulder to
shoulder, like soldiers, they made run at
the geese. This they repeated several times,
when one of the geese, getting detached
from the flock, was run upon by the cows,
one of which caught upon its horns and
tossed it up in the air. After it fell, the four
cows set upon and killed it. By this time
an alarm was given by some persons who
had witnessed the strange scene, and two
men went to the rescue with dog. While
driving the geese out of the field, the COWS
again gave chase after the dog, men and
geese, and it was with some difficulty that
they got clear Off

The Southern Fire-Eaters' Opinion Of their

commercial Allies In New York.
The Charleston IS. C.) Mercury of late date
says:
The merchants of New York, under the
alarms of the New York Herald, are making
gigantic efforts to buy off, and frighten of,
the people of the State from carrying out
their political views and sentiments Just now,
in the election of Lincoln. William B. Astor,
we are informed, has contributed one mill
ion of dollars and another million has been
raised from the first half-dozen merchants
that were applied to. This is but a sample
of what they are doing. These men really
suspect that the South-or a small portion
OF it at least, is in earnest about opposing
the election Of the representative man Of the
legal and constitutional majority. Are the
moneyed men of Gotham given to panics
that they should bleed themselves so freely,
and in so hopeless a task, as diverting, by
gold and gable, the people of great free
State from the vindieation of their political
convictions2 Are the people of New York
so timid and so prohigate in political senti-
ment, that an attempt so uncemplimeutary
to their integrity and intelligence should be
gravely attempted 1t is, indeed, an argu-
ment against their capacity for selfgovern-
ment-an insult to the cardinal principle of
republican government, and a horrid slur
upon the rural population of the great En-
pire State. In fact, we are astonished at the
audadity, not to speak of the immortality Of
the attempt.
We presume, however, that as fear is un-
scrupulous, under the higher-law plea of
necessity, these bad practices are reconciled
to the consciences of terrified merchants. To
their morbid apprehensions, as a matter of
policy, it seems better to contribute large
share of what each is worth, than to lose the
greater part of their property in the depre-
citation and panic that must follow, at the
North, the dreadful dissolution of the Union.
But who is it that is cruelty terrifying
these Northern princes, and making them
come down to the work of defeating Lincoln?
Has the South got them by the pockets, that
they should display such ZEAL and do they
know it Is it the disunion braggadocio at
the South that induces them at this late day
to make such Herculean exertions2 We ask
for information. Maybe twas the disunion-
lists of the State-rights Democracy that
elected Mr.. Buchanan in 1856, by pitting in
terest against inclination at the North. In
this instance, however, we are sorry to be-
lieve the New Workers may save themselves
the trouble. The city is not the State, and
the people of the interior of New York are
too many, if not too honest to be bought,
nor can they be frightened by Southern
thunder.

AARON BURR AND HENRY CLAY The
Cause Of Their Efmity.- The Louisville
(Ky.) Journal says:
When Aaron Burr was arrested in the
West for treason, he applied to Henry CLAY,
then young man, to defend him. Having
heard the leading circumstances from Claws
own lips, we eau state them correctly. Mr..
O. loved his country too we'll to be willing
to undertake the defense of a man whom he
believed guilty of treason. Before he would
undertake Burr's case, he sought private
interview with him, and appealed to him to
say contidentially and upon his honor
whether he was or was not guilty as charged.
Burr gave his most solemn assurance that he
was not, and Mr.. Clay defended him and
procured his acquittal. Afterward, how
ever, Mr.. Clay became convinced from
various facts, and especially, as he said, from
seeing letter of Burr, in cypher, that he
had been deceived by B., and he afterward
refused to speak to him, and upon one occa-
sion rejected his preferred hand. Mr.. Clay
was not able to read the letter in cypheT,
but he was convinced that Burr was guilty
Unprotected treason by the fact of his resort
ing to such covert mode of communicating
with individuals.

The Diplomatic Corps Mt Washington r idI-
cule the idea of DisuniOn-NIr. BrecIxin-
ride Nearly Crazy About his NOmina-
tiOn.
A Washington dispatch to the New York
Times of the 29th ult. says:
One of the most prominent of the foreign
diplomatic corps closed his dispatches to-
day, to his Government, in these words
There will be an election, but there will
be no disunion." The foreign diplomatists
here ridicule the idea of disunion, and ex-
press every confidence in the perpetuity of
Government, while all classes of our own
people are apprehensive of serious danger.
1t is understood here that secession can
be accomplished peaceably, as the Admins
tration is unit in its opposition to any at
tempt to hold the Union together by force.
The peaceable secession of one or more
States, it is said, would not disturb the OPP
eratiOns of the Federal Government, while
a single blow to prevent it would rend the
Union to atoms.
The confidence of several of the largest
bidders for the Government loan is giving
way, and considerable alarm is expressed. A
gentleman passed through here yesterday
with $25 900 in Virginia bonds, for the New
York market, and predicted that in ten days
100000 in Southern bonds would be offered
IN Mall-street, IN exchange for gold.
We have rumor from the West that Mr..
Breckenridge is nearly crazy at the ruin his
nomination has brought ON the Democratic
party, and charges that he was over per-
suaded to accept by President Buchanan and
Senator Slidell. .-.....--.
Advices received to-day from New York
encourage the fusionists to believe they will
run Lincoln very close in that State, if they
do not beat him. Democratic stock may be
quoted with slight advance.
General Houston will be rendered the War
Department by Mr.. Lincoln. So say proni-
nent Republicans here.

An UnErntefuI Count aad n Devoted
Actress-The Injured Woman Brings
Suit for Her Annuity.
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Express says:
A suit has been instituted by MademoiseIle
Antoinette H., against the Count de NJ: the
other by MademOiselle Lucie P. against the
Niscount de L. Years ago, when Antoinette
was young and fair, she was a favorite actress
and has more than once appeared behind the
foOt-lghts in the company of no less a
celebrity than Rachel. She became devot-
edly attached to a young officer, who, at that
time, possessed little fortune save his sword.
10 him the young actress sacrificed her
youth and professional prospects. He had
served in Africa, and returned to France
with shattered health and serious wounds.
In order to be near him, to watch over him,
to attend upon his ed-side, Antoinette left
the theater, and sold her stage wardrobe to
procure the means of adding to her invalid
lovers comforts.
The young soldier belonged to an aristo-
cratic family, but his father, the Count de NJ,
had long since cast him of, in consequences
of this liaison with an actress. Under the
tender care Of his disinterested nurse, the
officer recovered his health; and, in the over
flow of his gratitude, spontaneously bound
himself and his heirs to pay her alife-annuity
$4,000 francs. The old Countde NJ, touched
by Antoinettes idevotion, became recon
ciled to his son, and indorsed the paper which
provided for the payment of the annuity.
Time passed on the once lovely Antoinette
faded, and a separation took place.
A project of marriage was set on foot be-
tween Monsieur de NJ. and a lady of his own
rank; and then the father and son set about
attempting to economist their $500 per an
mum paid for the support of the ex-actress.
Antoinette appealed to the tribunals, and OBJ
tained full confirmation of her rights. In
addition to the loss of the suit. the Count de
NJ. has brought discredit upon name trans
mitted to him untarnished by long line of
ancestors, who, whatever their faults, would
have undoubtedly scorned the meanness of
endeavoring to escape from debt OF graft
tude. ..--

The PROVINCE OF POETRY AND FIcTIoY-
Mrs. Botta, in her Handbook of Literature,
Defines in the following extract, the appro-
pirate place of fiction and poetry In litera-
ture
Fiction borders closely on the province of
history, which, in its broad and comprehen-
sive outline, must necessarily leave uuno-
ticed many of the fine lights and shades of
human life, descriptions of motives, private
characters, and domestic scenes. To supply
these in the picture of humanity is the dis
tinct Office of fiction, which, while free in
many respects, should be essentially true.
The poetry and fiction of the country should
be the worthy companion to its history
While the historian describes events, and
the outward lives of men, the poet penetrates
into the inner life, and portrays the spirit
that moves them. The historian records
facts; the poet records feelings, thoughts,
hopes, and desires; the historian keeps in
view the actual man; the poet the ideal man;
the historian tells us what man has done;
the poet reminds us, either in his dreams of
the past, or in his visions of the future,
what man can be; and the true poet, who
fulflls such destiny, is as necessary to the
development of mankind as the historian.
