The cloth was drawn, the wine and dessert were put on, and Frederick Willis, seated at the head of his table, looked on as men,: a set of fellows as ever wete gathered around mahogany. The master of the feast was twenty-two years of age, and possessed twice as many thousand pounds as he numbered years.• To be young is pleasant enaugh.4but to be both young and rich is. extreme happiness. The father of Frederick Willis not Only gave his son life, but bequeathed him money enough to enjoy life. If it be uitlawlal to pray for the soul of such a father, it is a great deficiency in the Pro testant religion, and a sad'ilenial to grateful heirs. A very rational mode of gratitude indeed -it is to bask in your sunny destiny, and spiritedly spend the money ; heti an occasional libation to the donor in Heaven is graceful and gentleinanly. It can do you no harm—and who knows what good it may do you ? Your rich uncle may be pleased. Frederick Willis had but lately begun his career. So far he tied proceeded with moderation and good sense ; but a danger threatens' him this evening.— On his right hand is seated Captain Fitz Osborne, a newly made acquaintance, add one net very 'Crei,l - • ' Captain Fitz Osborne was a tail and stout man. His countenance was comically ferocious. Nature 'had intended Mini for a foot only—but he had4i2C-' seeded, by much study and pains, -in soperadding the bully. He had a loud voice, a swaggering gait, an imperious eye, and a large aid well-dyed pair of black mustachios, which he had a habit of continu ally twirling with his thumb and fore finger. He was a soldier by profespiorr, and a gambler (( as au amateur. He could 'not live on his pay, and i e thought dexterity in 04 , as'easy and creditable a way of increasing his `income e ci's any other. The result proved ,his judgment correct. His purse was always well stored, and he was 'received without scruple into the beat society. Just about this time, LoWeier, suapleions `were' whispeied "about, in a very low tone Lik ed, that the gallant Captain was 'indebted more his finesse, than to his dexterity or good fortune for his success; and that in fact ho was little better than a blackleg. As these suspicions were whispered in -so low a tone, the Captain of course was not oblistd to hear them; but though he betrayed no cognizance of such disagreeable reports, he was too well aware of their circulation, and felt that the time had come for a grand coup de main, and retirement. He marked out' Frederick Willis as the victim. Forty thousand pounds were Ties in the hands of a very inexperienced keeper, rind lie hoped that it would be no difficult matter 'to transfer this snug for- . tune to thr cuistotly of orie who wel' knew its value —even Captain Fitz Osborne. He contrived to get introduced to young Willis, and soon afterjte con trived to lose to him mit.less;Cibto than three thou sand pounds.. It was eller , dinner and much cham pagne, at the Citptainza.pliiii-. lodgings, that this art ful loss took place, and ,Fitz Osborne could scarcely lorbear laughinp as be saw , Willis depart in a deli rium of joy at this his first successful stroke in gam ing. The Captain was incited by Willis in return. Two or three friends, he said,.would meet him, but this would not prevent hirit . from giving him his re venge. Fitz Osborne assented to this arrangement cheerfully, He made up his mind to lose, again, but to a small extent, so as not to excite attention in those present; then, witb another quiet evening at his own lodgings, he calculated _ on finishing the hu- Balms. hives essentiato be prompt; for though Willis, he trusted, had t yet heard the reports to his prejudiee;there was e ery dangerthiit le would , do so before long. . And now the second evening of this well-arrang ed series was in progress. The cloth was drawn— the wine and dessert were put on, and alter dinner had commenced. Jest, laughter and song 'followed. At last ap- peered coffee, and Frederick, knocking ton a plate with the handle of a fruit 'knife, by way of obtain ing silence, kid': - 'Gentlemen, if you please, we will adjourn to the 4rawingroriiii, where you will find card tables, chess tables, and all other Sorts of tables. My [Hind, the captsib, is so- enamored of the sound of a dice hos, that he is resolved to hear its music for half on hour or so in company wiih me--I,thoUgh I assure yorithe other evening the tune roust_have been any thing but pfcasant to him: So allow, end each to his vo• cation.' ' Vshoit of apprtival was the answer. The host and the guests, deserting the dining room, in a few moments were seated at cards, or whatever ether amusement they preferred: Fitz Osborne and Wil lis took up their position at a small table by them selves.

THE ficorm AND TUN YANKEZ.—We were great. ly amused, not long since, at a dialogue we heard between a down easter and a Hoosier from the west. they were respectively cracking up their own localities, and running down their opponents.
