(iAtfHUNG FOU HUMAN LTFK; But perhaps tho most tragic, soul-harrowing seeno lliat ever took place at a gaming table transpired at a public house in I'ort au I'rinro joins years ago. Several parties were waiting about ihci room for tho gamo tocoin mencd. Among ttio crowd of loiterers was a Captain &l. Evei'y, a iioted gaiitester, dead ly duelist and well-khott'n iiiah (jf pluck.

Astonished at the sight of to much wealth; the C.iptnin drew back, fclyiug: "Gentle men, I rhould bb wanting not only hi coin' Hum honesty; but eveii in good maimers; were I to appropriate the sum, thd -Tinning of which I never expected in the) least de giee, for I thollght I was playing for the trilling stake lying on tho table, I cannot, therefore, take tho enormous suiri aslny own by light;" " Sir," said Captain St. Hvcry, "ybti must take it, for if you had lost you would have been obliged to pay the talno sum." "You ale lilistakcn, sir; if you think so. 1 do Hot conceive my honor endangered in reference to paying a debt of honor which I never contracted, nor in refusing to accept of so largo a turn wliicli I never expected to win." " Monsieur lo Commandant," shrieked Captain St. Every, raising his voicototho highest pitch, "if you had lost you should have paid. I would havo made you do so," This was firo to tho guupowder, Intended to provoke a challenge, and it accomplished its purpoo. "Sir," said Captain St. Every; "I don't wish to take any iidvantago of yoti which my acknowledged ability in thouso of tho sword and jdstol gitos me, sd I oiler terms of equality." "Bring us a pistol herb' at once; load It; and the' chance of the dice sl'all determine which shall blow ccch other's brains out.'1 "Agreed;" said tho nothing-daunted frig1 nto commander. A shock of Horror rail through tile veins df thd assembled crowd at the barbarity of tho blotfd-curdliiig; nflair. Bomo shrank from tho room; others, more hardened in tho eights of horror; crowded nearer tho gamiHg-table, Jtirfoctly cogmiaht of the des jwrate character of St. Jlvery, arid inwardly lauding tho bravery of tho unknown.

"Bo lt did mine!" was tho reply. "Good morning." "Morn ing;" aud straightway they departed.
