himself.) : -.

He brisk. K.ncnocTic AMD rRVFT! The world
isTfulI of boys (and men teu,) who drawl through

and let things tske their own way. Such pen.
pie are dull stud" on the earth. They hardly
deserve as much credit aa the wooden trees; far
trees i all the srecx liey een, in merely grow

trawling, draggling boys do not turn their ca
pacities In prollt, half as far ss they might be
larned ; they arc-unprofitable, like a rainy day
in harvest lime. Now thv brisk enrriretic hot
will be constantly awake, not merely with his
bodily eyes, but with his' mind and attcntiiln,
during the hour of business. After he learns
what he lias todii, he will take pride in going
it punctually and well, and would feel ashamed
to be told, what he ought to do without telling.
The drawling boy losea in five minutes the most
important advice; the prompt wide-awake boy
never baa to be taught twice, but strain bard to
make himHf n to the mark, as fast aa possible
out of his own energies. The third-rat boys

one is worth a hundred ot the poor draggling
creatures, who can bard I v wash their own "hands
without being told, each time, how If is to be
done.' Give me the bov who does his 'work

Tlie following very remarkable circumstance
is vouched for by Green, the reformed gambler,
which we eondene from hie work on gambling.
There e degrro of romance attached that in
a manner relieves it of the horror excttvd by
the catxastrocato. It occurred at New Orleans
eorsjsj yearrsge. , .l
A sr CapiaisTWaa in the habit of frequenting
Roulplte Table, kept by a Frenchman in com
pany with party of Gsmbler. Green remarks
that they flayed with more regard to fairness
then, than i customary or general with them
now. The Captain was evidently influenced in
hi visit more by a wisfi to kilt time than by
srjy passion for the sport. It had visited the
plsce on the night in quest mil. - . -
The sea Captain having placed hia bet upon
the red, set with his head leaning upon hi head,
as if to await lh result of the game. The ball
f-ll into the column, knd he was the winner.
The wheel starred again, but the Captain did
wot move, and, contrary to nstial " practice, the
amnunt of hie bet was doubled. He won the
second, third, fourth, filth, the 'sum doubling
each time. Thns it went on In the eighth lim,
when the gamblers began to be excited, and ut
tering toud curses exclaimed 'lie wins sgain !'
At this, many who where in the room gathered
round :the table. The result ot the ninth and
tenth being the same, one cried 'We is a ford !
why don't be make sure of what he haa won T
The eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth brought
the same result, snd msny exclaimed 'He is
mad !' But the game went on and the Captain
coatinued beedlessv The fourteenth was in
his favor. At the fifteenth, thousands were si
stake, from the small beginning of twenty Jin
reals, and all eye seemed fixed in amazement
Still be woo. The sixteenth was the same.
The bankers vociferated enrses upon the heel
player. Other urged the Captain to withdraw
a part of bis winr.mga, Sixteen thmt$and dot
lars was at ; etske for tire seventeenth. The
bill flew like lightning,' but there was no
change. The money was piled up before the
Captain in heavy bank notes, he moved not a
finger, nor uttered a' word.' ' At this juncture, a
voice in sea men'a phrase, was heard 'Haul in
old Csptsin .' you don't bet all that pile against
thi set of land pirates! haul m! and a band
was stretched forth from one at tbe table, creep
ing the money and depositing it in a hat It
was the first mate of lha Captains vessel. Ha
viog thus secured the money, he seised the
Captain by tbe ahoulder, saying Tome you
have a full cargo, its lime to hoist sails;'
when horrible to relate, the corpse of the Cap
tain fell against Iihu. He bad been sitting
with bis head upon hia hand through all Ihisex
citing scene ; having died in the act of betting
I ho first quarter. . The male eall.-d for water
snd dashed it into bis face ; and then for spirits;
but all eAoria to resnsciste him were in vain.
Life waa extinct.
' Green goes on to detail the result: ' "
The gamblers then demanded tlmt (he money
should bo refunded but the mate had rolled it
up in a handkerchief, put ii into tbe hand of a
cabin boy and charged him to run with it fur hia
life, In the ship, and deliver it to the clerk, aad
summon .the crew to the gambling house. Tlie
tumult aud confusiua waa so great that the boy
alipped away unnoticed. '
When the corpse was laid on the plank, the
gamblers again demanded the money of the
mate, staling, that ae the Captain had tindonbt
ly died betting the first qoartcr. jnstiee required
that it should be retorned to the bank era. The
mate, in a tone of deflancei replied, the orphan
children of the Captain needed the money, and
should have it. Force waa threatened, if he re
fused to deliver it op. fleeing that their threats
were unheeded.-ihey rushed upon him w ith vio
lence, seized his hat and bore it ofT, supposing
they had thus secured the money ; but tn their
surprise the hat waa empty. A large number
who were present took the put cf the mate, and
great excitement prevailed throughout the
house. An ssdautt waa made upon the, rnale.
Hume rricd one thing, and eom atioihcr. 'Down
with Ium !' 'Gel the money !' 'Let him alone 1'
'You have nu right la rob him '.' mingled with
oaths, and imprecations and cuise. At (hi
luomeut twenty or thirty uf tlie ship' crew, ru
shed in, and ooe word from the mate brought
I hew to hi rescue, and the gambler were
made to etaod at a distance. KomeUiiag was
said respecting the money, which led the sai
lor to believe that the mats had been robbed,
acd they were about I ashing 00 Muneieur Grain

Ait Kngllsh Oak. , J
A correspondent of the N. Y. Commercial
A4vertiser thusdeecribes 'Chalsworth,' the resi
dence of the Duke uf Devonobire :
This, I believe, is srknnwedged to be the
mot splendid mansion in England. It is in the
Grecian style, of Portland atone ; it fronts shout
seven hundred foet ;. the windows are of plate
glass, equal in Size te many of the largest in
Broad way, and most of the Hame work is richly
gilded.' ' ' 1 '
The private entrance, which, was built a short
time before the visit uf the present Queen, is
an elegant arch of stone, with iron gates cover
ed w ith gilding. On ringing ihe bell a servant
in livery made his appearance, and conducted us
across an open quadrangular court into a spa
cioua hall, paved with Italian marble, the walla
being nf the ssme rich material. Soon the
housekeeper made her appearance, a very lady
like person, and by her we were conducted over
this immense residence.
The flrght of Heps which we ascended in
proceeding from the hall to the grsnd staircase
passes between walls of variegated alabaster,
aod being ornamented with gilt balustrades, haa
a magnificent effect. From' the entrance hall
we passed through the picture gallery, the door
of which is of highly polished oak, inlaid in the
most beautiful manner. One thousand paint
ings nf ihe beet masters enrich the gallery. I
shall not attempt a description, for, were t able
to write one, it would swell this letter to a grea
ter length than Jrour column will allow,
. The chapel i in keeping with the , building.
The panel work is of cedar, and aa e entered
gave a most del:ghtful fragrance. The whole
is richly nrnamcuted. The ceiling and every
part not other wU-o decorated, are embellished
by ihe pencils of Yt rrHi and Lsgtirm The or
naments in Wnnd are said to be the Work of
G bbun ( lb rich alter was sculptured by Cib
ber. ' ,
The next room looked at was the 'Velvet
Chamber," appropriated to Queen Victoria
when she visited ChatBWorth in 1813. Tho
wslls are covered wtih rrim-hn Velvet, bordered
with gold ; the ceilinrf Is of stucco-work, Cover
ed with gilding; the (lour is of polished inlaid
oak ; the paintings s re very good, and thu fur
niture ot cnniHHi and gold, tn one Corner i an
elegant rosewood piano, obtained for her Ma-j'-eiy'e
use. , . ;
The next a par! men I w.-re a suite of, roooia,
the wails nl which ate cover od with rich em
bnsseil leather, finely gilt. In these wore the
coronation chairs of several of the former kings
nf Euuland, which came into the possession of
the Duke of Devonshire by hie being tho Lord
Chanrell-w at the time of ihe coronation.
The library is only excelled by one other in
the kingdom. The rooms appropriated to sculp
ture contain some nf the finest pieces of statua
ry in the world ; the door case and table are
of alabaster from the Teak of Derbyshire.
The rooms are so constructed that ori any
great occasion a suit of apartments can be
thrown open to the length of aix hundred feet
The park,' gardens, jets of water, fountains,
Ate. are on the same scale with the building
The 'conservatory' is a gls structure contai
ning seventy-eight thousand square feet of glasa,
and ia kept warm by pipe equal fa th length
of six miles; it is three hundred and thirty feet
long, on hundred aod thirty feet wide, and sixty-five
feel high. Tho immense 'hot house' is
liJItfd w nh all the tropical tree which Ihe wealth
of Ihe Duke bases Wed bun tu obtain ; and so
auxiuus is he to excel all others, that 110 price,
however high, prevents bis obuining every

Rrssa Bleintaln Maid.
'Twaa on a boautiful spot wh ere the vine co
vered cot of tho mountaineer stood on the edge
of the wood. Thnre the foreat birda echoed alt
the day long, aod tbe mouatam at ream played
in the edge of the shade, while the grateful
young faWn cropped the herbage at dawn from
tbe wide spreading lewn. 'Twa a beautiful
spot 'twa a beautiful cot, and surely there
ne'er was a maiden more fair, nor a maiden
mors rare than the msid that dwelt them. Sh ill
1 picture Ibis maid of tbe greenwood and glade
aa she was in the dsy when rid "Allen" he'd
sway, while hie Irott nerved men were the prido
of the glen 1 ,Sho wits neither too tall, too ho:t
or too small, nor an light or so airy as the form
of a fairy. But lha pride of the glade was thu
rosy checked maid, with eyes quite as blue ss
the summer sky' hue, and tresses of brown
floating gracefully down, and nestling below on
a bosom of snow. She eould warble and sing
like the songstress of spring; she could spinand
could sweep, could mow snd could reap could
ride the gray steed at the top of hia speed, and
had sported a trifle with ber old father's r-fle.
And this bouncing young maid of the evergreen
glade wss cbnte and refined, and she had sue h
a mind as you seldom will find among tbe gay
maids of haughtier grades.
A lover she bad who would have been glad
to capture her heart by his scheeminfT snd art
O'llandy his name, and a dandy by fi.tne, who
Ihourh wrinkled and parched, was whiskered
and starched, and displayed quite a rare and ci
tified air. , ,i
Well, ho knelt at her feet and began to en
treat,' while his great bosom beat with unmer
ciful heat; and he told such a tslu aa he deem
ed would not fait to make her believe (hat ho
could not deceive.
While thus he knelt pleading, while thus in
terceding, he thought by her smiling that hia
words were beguiling. But he (bund the con
clusion a hopeless delusion ; for the maid was
unlinking hia icheeming wis thinking; and
she thought in a twinkling she'd give him a
sprinkling of the well peppnred ointment of
black disappointment Ere he drew to a close
she turned up her nose, as you may suppose,
just as high as she chose; and scorning his
prose, through big pleading site broke, and thus
'twas she spoke !
"U, great is your fame; O'llandy your namo
from the city you came, wi'h your heart all
in flame i and you thought in the shade of the
mountain or glade to capture a maid by pomp
snd parade. O, save all your tears, your hope a
and your fears, your ducks and your dears for
some other ears. All men are agreed you're a
nice bird indeed, but your figure's too lean;
you're ton gaunt and green; nd that is not all,
you're excessively tsll ; your nose is too b p,
you've a voice like a pi,', and you wear a big
wig, while your upper lip seems jus, the shado
of your dreams. Now my answer you know
there's the door, you may go."
Still he lingered to plead his luvo and bis need
and boaitcd and told of his titles and gold of
her station in life whom he chose for a wile.
But he found 'twaa no part of tbe mountain
maid's heart, to bear insult or wrong from an
eye or a tongue.
The maid could not brook such word and such
look, and ahe Caught down the broom that hung
in the room, and she hit him a blow that made
the blood flow not gracefully slow. He lit on
all four just out of the door, alt covered with
gore. Then ho sprung to his ftet and consi
dered it sweet to beat a retreat, to cover defeat,
hd ho fled from the place in shame and din.

every year, is enormous, snd ia equal to the
