Silence never shoWs itself,to so great an advantage as when it is made the re ply to calumny and defamation.

The cloth was drbm . m, the wine 'and dessert were put on, and Frederick Wil lis, seatedst the head of the table, look ed on . as merry a set of fellows as ever were gathered round mahogany. "The master:of the feast was twenty tWo years of age; ancl r pOssesed'ut about as many thousand !kiwi& as 'he nilin= bered years.' To b6'') , '"(i'u . rig" A pleasant enough ; but 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. ' Frederick Willis had' lately heg.un hls career.' SO - far he had proceeded with moderation and good sense but a dan ger threatens' him this evening. On his right is seated Captain Fitz Osborne, a newly-made acquaintance, and one not very creditable. Captain Fitz Osborne was a tall and stout man. His appearance was comi cally ferocious. Nature had intended him for a fool only, but: he had succeed ed, by much study and pain, in super adding the' bully. He 'had a loud a swaggering gait, an imperious -eye, and a large and well-dyed pair of iblacl, moustachins, which he had a habit of continually twirling with his thumb and fore-finger. He was a soldier by pro fession, and a gambler as an amateur. He could not live on his pav, and fir thought desterify in ,play as easy and honorable a way of increasing his in come as any other. The result proved his judgment correct ; his purse was al ways well stored, and he was received without scruple into the best society. Just about this time, however, suspi cions were whispered -about 7 in a very low tone indeed, that , the gallant cap- Jain was more indebted . to his fißesse than to his dexterity. or good fortune, and that, in fact, he was little better than - a blackleg. As. these suspicions were whispered in so low a tone, th captain, of course, was not obliged to hear them ; but though he . betrayed no .cognizance of such disagreeable reports, he was too well aware of their circula tion, and felt that the time had come or a granl cry - eh main, and retirement from play. He marked out Frederick Willis as •, the victim. Twenty thousand' pounds were here in the han4S of a very. inex perienced keeper, and he hoped that it would be no difficult matter to transfer this snug fortune to the custody of him self, who well knew its7yalue: He con trived io get introduced to young Wil lis, and-soon after he contrived to lose to him no less than three thousand pounds. It vas folkiwing dinner, and Much champa4zrb at the captain's own lOdgings, that this artful loss took place, and Fitz Osborne could'scarcely forbear laughing, as he saw Willis depart in a delitium`of joy at this hisfirst stroke in gaming'. The. captain was' invited by Willis in return. "Two or three friends," he said, " wduld meet him„, but this should not prei,.ent him from giving him his revenge." Fitz Osborne - assented to this arrangement cheerfully. He made up his mind to lose again, but to a small extent, so as not lo excite at tention in those present ; and then with another quiet evening at his lodgings, .he calculated on finishing the business. It was essential to be prompt; for tho' Willis; he trusted;'had not heard the rt. 4 ports to his pijudice,' there was every danger that he mouid do'ao before long. And now the second evening of this well-arranged series ''‘vas , in progress. The cloth Was driwn,the'wine and des se'it ,uere put on, and after-din'ner 'had ' commenced; jest, laiighter, and song connived.'

The host and guests, deserting the di ning-robm, in z few moments fete seat ed at they or whatever other amuse ment they preferred. Fitz. Osborne and Willis took up their ptrsition at a small table by themselues: There .were two thingi that caused the captain some regret; firstly, be had taken too much wine : and, secondly, Willis had not taken quite enough. Still affairs went on prosperously. He lest, and Willis won, as he had intended.-- But he could not account for a quiet sarcastic sort of smile . , which he detect ed, after some short time, on the:,coun tenance of his antagonist, and which teemed very unlike the unrestrained ex pression of- triumph - he had evinced when they last played together. h€ was throwing and cogitating,, Fred erick, suddenly addressed him : How much have I won, captain ?" asked " Oh, dear fellow, a trifle'" rf • plied Fitz Osborne. ." Two hundred or thereabouts ; but 1 mean to win ii back, I can tell you." "I play . no more !" exclaimed Wil lis, throwing himself back in his chair,- and folding his arms. • " Oh, as you please—as you pirate, certainly," said Fitz Os'iorne. " But Why bautk your good fortune, when you have it all your own way l" "I believe I won three thousand pounds of you on Wednesday evening?'' said Frederick, ir.3t attending to the cap tain's disinterested inquiry. Ytl; my dear friend, about that," said Fitz Osborne, looking rather dis turbed. But what means all this ?" " There is the money 1" said Freder ick, presenting three bank notes. " The two hundred pounds which I have just won, I decline to receive." What does this mean, sir ?" ex claked the captain, in a tone which be trayed the struggle between dismay and MEM "It means, sir, that I have discovered your clever little plot," replied Fred erick, smiling contemptuously. " The only thing required for success was, that I should be as great a fool as you thought me. So ypu lost purposely ; an t. nn doubt ? when yo u has excited me enough, I was to pay at least five hundred per cent. for the loan. Sin, I had not been seated with you three minutes this even ing, when I discovered plainly that you were cheating me." Captain Fitz Osho.rne rove slowly from his chair—twirled his left, and then his . - right moustache—locked fiercely and defvingly at the bys'anders, and turning to Willis, exclaimed in , a loud voice, " You shall repent this, sir. I am: a man of ,honor; and, whilst I have an arm, no man shall question that honor with impunity. .You 'shall hear from I me, sir." " I am no duelist," said Willis. " What, sir, are you a coward as well as a sl-anderer I" exclaimed Fita Os borne, strutting up to Willis, and scowl ing fearfully. "Do you refuse to meet me, sir ?" ~... I r. fuse either to shoot you, or, be shot by you," said. Willis : " though in deed, alter descending to be a gambler, I might well go a little lower, and be come .a duellist. Still,, robbery is better than murder ; and; whilst I swear to re trace the steps that led to the one, I. also swear to,take no steps that may lead to the other. A man of ,honor, indeed :" exclaimed Willis,, losing his tone of calmness, his cheek flushing, and his eye flashing; ,you are a swindler with out honor, or mind to comprehend what honor truly is. I know you now, sir, - and the world shall know you"' • ' ' With these words;and before the by standers could interfere or suspect his intention, he threw himself on his burly antcvnist; , -and iii• ad-instant had' borne him to - the ground. - Fitz ~Osixirne- , macie,.a decimate at tempt tO, wallow, something,,but ; hie I hand was arreav3—torn open ,hy main, force--and•FrederiCk Willis starting to his feet, held up to the gaze of all—a loaded dice. Captain Fitz Osborn may now be met with at Boulogne, weals a somewhat military costume,though be is no longer in the army., He attends all the billiard rooms and ball-rooms, and is said to be on the point of marriage with - an heiress from. Bloomsbury-square, who could not resist his large black ) moustache, linow ledge of fashionable society, and strict observance of the law of honor. Shnlspeare's Mirror for Women. BY MARY cownEN CLARITY. As to the tall glass called a Psyche, a lady gains a full-length view of herself, so that no point of a person may be left disregarded, so, in Shakspeare's mirror, a woman may obtain a psycholcwical re flex of her nature that may-aid her to its spotless array, and to the utmost per fection in adornment of which it is sus ceptible. She may learn how to pre serve its intrinsic graces of purity and innocence, at the same time she is in structed how to deck it with becoming ornament of accomplishment and re fining culture. She may be taught to perceive how native charms are height ened by suavity of demeanor ; hOw a fine uhderstanding, and a capacious mind are set off by modest bearing how ex ternal beauty is enhanced by sweet man ners and cheerful "ease; how intellect and good sense consort , with forbearance, and affectionate submission, how gaiety of heart and the gilt of wit are tempered with gentleness; how highest dignity shows itself mosttruly in courtesy, generosity, charity, kindliness. From the lady of the, highest tank, to humblest among women—from her who is " croicn'd the most imperial mon arch" to her who " does the meanest chares," we all may read in his respec tive deleniations our feminine resem blance. From the virtuous majesty of a-Hermione or a Katharine of Arragon, down to the homely coarseness of an Audrey or a Mopsa, each es entially !pars the generic stamp of women. His sceptred queens, his princesses, his duch eses, his gentlewomen, his yeoman's wives, his young maidens, his serving damsels his country wenches, his hos tesses ; his most delicate lady, his most .blushing girl, his most reserved vestal, hisirrantast coquette, his wildest. spirited sparkler, his sedatest thinker, his most loving and • loveable female impersona iioo, or his vilest and most odious one, however infinitely they may vary; have all 'one feature in .commhn—they are womanly in all they do and say. The wit of Rosalind and Bea trice, the ambition of Lady Macbeth, the conjugal faith of Imogin, the wick edness of Gonerit and Regan, constancy of Helena, the. recticence of Cordelii, the intellect of Portia, the.wilesorCleo patm, the innocence of Miranda, the charm of Viola, the gentleness'of Des deinnna, the sanctity and moral purity of Isabella, the -anguish of Constance, the maternity of Volutimia, the shrewish ness of Cathat ine, the affection of Celia, the flippancy of Lucetta,the passionate love of JuAiet, the sprightliness of Nt-r -rissa; the insanity of Ophelia, are all as markedly contrasted as day and-night; but they are all in themselves and in their action and circumstance true to the spirit of womankind.
