My husband is such a queer fellow,

He looks so much like a great dog,

At dinner he's peevish and glum ; '

How To Make Gamblers.
The following short Eistory of the school
ing of Green, the gnat gambler, written by
himself, ought to be a warning to others,
Although 1 belong . to the despiser! frater
nity called gamblers, I have always made it
it tale to advise young wpm to shun the gam
bling table, that they might avoid the rock
upon which 1 split ; and 1 will now olli!r,
through your paper, some suggestion to the
heads id families on the subject of social
card playing.
. 1 was at least twenty years of age, and
had lived sonic months in New York, before
I even knew the Mimes of the ordmililry
playing
curds ; but the importance of a thor
ough t.•ductition in the science of games was
soon inivie apprent to we, and 11l a quarter
whence 1 least expected it,. Boarding in
Broadway, 1 gramiany lormed au acquain

families. By one pat Lliebv 1 was invited to
attend a social party.— heads of this

my sin prise, when 1 made my entree into

together with my pious iriends deeply en

but the plays of depraved gamblers. The
father of the faintly was engaged ut chess,
while his wife presided ut a card table ;
their children were among •the whit 'play

The Old American Flag
The American standard is thus describ;
ed. Tlfe colors of the American flag have
a snake with thirteen rattles, the fourteenth
budding. described in the attitude of going
to strike, with this tnotto.L--"Don't tread on
me.' It is a rule in heraldry, that the wor
thy properties of the anklet! in the crest
bone shall be considered, and the base ones
cannot be intended. The ancients account
ed a snake, or a serpent, an emblem of wis
dom, and, in certain attitudes, of endless du
ration. The rattle-snake is properly a rep
.reseritative of America, as this serpent is
found in no other part of the world. The
eve of this creature excels in brightness
that of any other animal. She has no eye ,
lid ; and is,therefore an emblem of vigilance.
She never begins an attack and never sur
renders. She is therefore an emblem of
magnanimity and true courage. When in
jured, she never wounds till she gives no
tice to her enemies of their danger.
No other of her kind shows such goner
' ()shy. When undisturbed and in peace,
she does not appear to be furnished with
weapons of any kind. They are latent in
the roof of her mouth, and even when exten
ded for her defence, appear to those who
are unacquainted with her to be weak and
contemptible, yet her wounds, however
small, are decisive and fatal She is solita
ry. and associates With her kind only when
it is necessary for her preservation. Her
poison is at once the means of digesting her
food, and certain destruction to her enemies.
The power of fascination attributed to her
by a generous construction resembles Amer-
ica. Those who look steadily on her are
delighted and involuntarily advance towards
her. She is frequently found with thirteen
rattles, and they increase yearly. She is
beautiful in youth, and her beauty increas
es With her age ; her tougue is blue and
forked as lightning.—
Filial Affection
A dutiful and obedient daw , hter aIWaYS
makes a devoted and faithful ;rife. Let no
man, as he values his own happiness mar
ry a woman of an unfilial nature. In spite
of the guile of lago, there was much wis
dom in his remark to Othelfo, when exci
ting the Alcor to suspicion of Desdemones
integrity : "She has deceived her father,
and may thee." There is no trait of endear
ment more pleasant than the confiding ten
