T,-a IA ALM' 1r . A LOUISVILLE ROMANCE. THROWING DICE-A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AGAINS A LADY'S HAND. A Louieville (Kentucky) correspondent of a California paper tells the following improb• able story There lived on street, in an unpre tending establishment, surrounded by trees and flowers, a young lady who was celebrated for her beauty and accomplishments. She was a blootitveith—l- And—eyes, white teeth, and a heavenly smile—had the prettiest hand and foot that ever was seen—and was tall, lithe, and elegant. Her wit was delicate, pointed and spark 3 log, and her mind as sit perior as her person was lovely. The town was at her feet, and her suitors were as int portanate, if not as many, as Penelope, like whom she was continually wooed and never yet won. In the midst of her success came the war, the end of which found her faaiily impoverished, and herself reduced to want for the necessaries of life. But she was still the same proud, impert• ous mistress of hearts as before, and she re fused in quick succession the many offers of mnrriage that were now made her She had not thought of matrimony as a resource, but had other and totals, different prospects in view. She proposed, in fact, to teach a school A fellow-townsman, a gentleman of wealth and position, and a bactidor, had long been a silent - worshipper at her shrine. lie had houses and lands—estates in the country and, lots in the city—stocks, interests and invest. [Dents wherever they would pay, and his pri• vale establishment on street was simply palatial. Seeing how the case stood with her whom he loved with his whole soul, he re. solvA, atter many sell comm»nings and' much reflection, to ask her to be his wife. proposal, 'I said she, in answer to his proposal, do not love you, and cannot marry you.' 'Think the matter over, my deur,' said he, 'and in one week frocr, to day, give me your answer.' .Upon his return ; on the day set, she said to him: 'Sir, you have wealth and I am poor; you live in a palace, and I, as you see, in a cot tage ; you are desirous of having my hand, and I would like very much to be rich. I will make you a proposition. I will throw the dice with you—my hand against $lOO,- 000 ! Is it a bargain ?' `lt is,' said be. Aod thereupon they, plede ed to each other thar words to abide ,the haz ard. It was arranged that but three persons should be let into the secret ; that each sho'd select,a friend; and that the two selected Friends were to choose a third. Miss named the Hon. Mr —, a prominent trem bar of the bar, as her friend; Mr. chose .Rev. Mr: pastor of the fashionable ch web on street, as his; and these two made choice of Dr. an eminent profes sor of the Medical College, as. the friend of both parties. .liy these gentlemen the re liminaries were arranged, and the progvamme was this : SMITEL'S q Tho Doctor was to give a party at his house on a certain specified Friday evening, at which were to be present all the best peo: pie of Lluisville • the • Hon Mr --•-•• was to • have a license in blank, ready to be filled at a moment's notion, and was to hold Check for $100,000; and the Rev Mr. was to be in waiting to perform the marriage ceremony, if trilled on to do so.

By agreement of the parties themselves they were to throw poker dioe,and to cut cards for the first throw. The• gentleman cut a queen and the lady a jack, and now came the tug of war. Lie was cool, calm, and pale; she was stat u esque, im• perious, and collected. His lips were com pressed; per's were formed into an extended arc, spanning the whole mouth and comple ting the bow. The twain sat on opposite sides of a small table, and the umpires stood overlooking them. The dice-box being set before him, Mr. placed his fingers over the top, and with the thumb clasping the side, he gave it a shake and threw two fours and two deuces. Putting aside the fours, he threw again, and threw another four. Then throwing the two remaining dice, he threw two fives He had thrown, therefore, a full—three fours and two &ea. And now came Miss —'s turn. It was a thrilline , moment, and the rustle of her silk dress in the stillness of that room sounded like tree tops in the wind. She began by drawing off her right glove exposing a hand of exquisite beauty and delicacy, on the fore finger of which sparkled a diamond. Then, taking up the box quickly, she gave it a long shake in the air, and, turning it down upon the table, she threw—nothing ! A cloud thereupoe_passed peer her face, tied the are of her lips assumed a still more bowlike cur vative. But, nothing daunted., she at once retook the box and threw again--this time turning up our deuces! - and the fifth-dih-e -'cocked ! Terrible mischance! Miserable luck! Again she threw, and th - rew two deuces and two trays —Puttine,;_alLthe dice back into the I box, sh,e had left but one . other and last throw, upon which now rested her only chance. For the first time since she sat deice she spoke and asked• for a glass of water.— Having drank a tumblerfull, she sat for a moment pressing together her eyebrows be tween hor thumb and forefinger, and then all of a sudden, she snatched up the dice box and shook it vehemently, and throw— three fours and two sixes, and won ! And did she take the money ? you ask me: I answer most emphatically—she did. Unwilling to be Shot . Emotional insanity having beets so often pleaded successfully by husbands in Oali fornia in defence of shooting .or knifing of suspected gallants, the San Francisco News Letter says: • 'All men's wives who have hither enjoy ed the advantage of our acquaintance are hereby notified that this ceases to day, never to be renewed: It is with deep grief that we disrupt the social relations which promise so much but we feel impelled thereto by the first law of nature.

We have taken considera ble pleasure in their society—a pleasure which we flatter ourselves has been mutual but this thing can no longer be permitted to go on. We' trust that our motive—Which is pure cowardice—will not be misconstrued.

Why must our feeble band be playing with the lightning, and kiting loose the hurricane ? Rather let us imitate God. Does lle brand the heretic with his nurse ? Does He pour the elements in fury around his dwelling ? Does be set a mark on him, that any one finding him may slay him ? Bee, the situ• shine still smiles upon his roof ; the shower still refreshes his field; the charities and hopes of life are still poured upon his heart. And cannot we cheer with our human love the creatures whom our rather disdaineth not to bless? Are we so sinless as to stand apart io our holiness from the being pith whom the Magisty of Heaven can °node mod to dwell, whom Infinite Purity stoups to cherish ? At least let us wait for the dis closure of those Bono counsels which we dare to scan. It will be time enough to hate when God condemns, to shun when God drivoth away.
