Is scarcely looked upon As a vice in Spain and Young Solano saw Iio Huig unusual or blame Able in the count s indulging in his afternoon jag of or in his losing his Money if it so pleased him and if be thought an hour or two s excitement Worth the Large sums which it usually Cost him. J circumstance of their visits to the gaming j room appeared to him so unimportant that it never occurred to him to mention it to i i father or sister and they on their part never dreamed of inquiring in what Way the Young men passed the few hours of Day during which they absented themselves from their society. The Monte table which Valleja was in the habit of frequenting wus situated on the third floor of a narrow Street leading out of the Calle Alcala within two or three Hund red Yards of the Casa Solano. Amongst the persons to be met there were Many of the richest and highest in Madrid generals and ministers counts and Marquise even Nies. After standing for a few minutes at the table and staking a Doubloon which he in stantly lost Rafael Solona took up a paper and threw himself into an Arm chair while Valleja remained watching with keen at Tention the various fluctuations of the cards. For some he did not Joia in rather to the astonishment of the other play ers who were accustomed to see him take his Money As soon As he entered the room equal to that which he had a Chance of carry ing off. At the this one where the players were All More or less known to each men of rank name and was not unusual to play this sort of decisive coup upon parole and in lost the Rooney was invariably forthcoming the same Day Vallija smiled bitter y. I thought i had been sufficiently known said he to be admitted to the same privilege As other players.

Will you have the kindness to fetch them for me i do not wish to interrupt my observation of with pleasure replied Rafael taking the key to oblige his Friend. And continued Valleja smiling detaining him As he was about to hasten out of the room perhaps you will not object to Tell these gentlemen that until they re with the Money they May take Louis ther notes nor any thing else of value by astonished at this Bank at Ose fell swoop to produce a sum Nee of carry a few worthless papers same time in societies like and in spite of his repossession in favor of the count feeling his suspicions a Little roused by what he could hardly consider an oversight he hurried Hack to the Ramonte room where his arrival served As the signal for the catastrophe that has been related. The same evening the amount lost was paid by Rafael Solano into the hands of the win ners. The following Day the count was privately interred. After the lapse of a few weeks there came a letter from Mexico in reply to the one which Don Jose Solano had written to announce the arrival of Valleja. His mexican correspondent wrote in All haste anxious if still possible to preserve Don Jose from be coming the dupe of a swindler. The Conde de Valleja he said was the last and unworthy unhesitating boldness and Confidence half an hour passed in this manner and the hence of Valleja was beginning to be for Wuenche suddenly Drew a heavy Rou Leau of Gold from his pocket and placed it up on a card. The game went on Valleja lost and with his usual san Froid saw his stake thrown into the Bank. Another followed and a third and a fourth. In four coups he had lost Thiee thousand dollars. Still not a sign of excitement or Dis composure upon the handsome countenance of the mexican Only an officer who standing by him a pack of thin Spanish cards which he had patients Ano a lawyer without clients. We Are glad to perceive that the subject is e attention throughout the country. The press has taken it up in Earnest and the eyes of Many will no doubt be opened to the truth. The Pride of parents is too frequently a curia o their children. Instead of fitting them to wrestle with the hardships of the world they often bring them up in such a Way As to Ren Der them victims of Idle Naves. The Savannah is publican of a late Date alluding to the medical profession and tha evil and error to which we have at rented Why is it that a bring men will close their eyes to desert other respectable pursuits to choose a life of almost suck car Tain a Varty and dependence 7 is it because they Are averse to honest labor or by cans grandee of Spain were in the habit of repair ing thither to Thile away the Long Winter evenings or the Suu riness of the summer Day and the place was proportionate to the High turn Valleja s word for sum he wishes to most assuredly i answered the Young Man hastily and i am Only sorry that the Senor Maiquis should have thought it advisable to put any thing resembling a slight upon a Friend of mine and my father s. Gentlemen he continued to the Bankers i Oser you my guarantee for the sum count Valleja is about to the old Marquis bowed his head. That is quite sufficient Don Rafael said he i have tie Honor of knowing you perfectly Well. His senoria the count Val Cija is Only known to me As count Valleja and i am certain that on neither ill Usu Umkh-igv4 uhf rank and great opulence of most of the play he a been holding in his hands fell to the ground j be nor you Wuh blame me for acting As i do torn completely in half by one Violet wretch. The four High stakes so boldly played and so rapidly lost riveted the observation of the gamblers upon Valleja s proceedings. Everybody crowded round the table and. Even the slight Buzz of conversation that lad be fore been heard totally ceased. His Atten lion attracted by this sudden stillness Rafael i sauntered to the window humming a tune be when so heavy a sum is at j Don Rafae left the room. The formal Marquis removed the piece of Money from the pack arid took up the cards with As much dry indifference As if he were in no i Way concerned in the result of the important game that about to be played. Valleja the Bank was held As is customary in Spain by the person who offers to put in the largest sum the keeper of the room being remunerated by a certain tax upon the cards a lax which in this instance was a heavy one in order to compensate for the luxury Dis played in the decoration and arrangements of the establishment. The three rooms were fitted up in the most costly manner the Walls lined with magnificent pier glasses the floor covered in Winter with Rich carpets and in summer with the finest Indian matting the furniture was of the newest French fashion. Splendid chandeliers Hung from the ceiling musical clocks stood upon the Side Gil. Balconies were filled with the rarest exotics and flowering plants. Two of the rooms were devoted to play in the third ices and refreshments awaited parched throats of the feverish gamblers. In a scorching june afternoon about a month after Valleja s arrival at Madrid the mexican and Rafael left Don Jose s dwelling and Bent their Steps in the usual direction. While ascending the Well worn stairs of the gaming House Young Salona could not for Bear addressing a remonstrance to his Friend on the subject of Bis losses. Although the of the Bank seemed to glance at the increased wealth and the eagerness with which be awaiting Valerja s movements made him conjecture what had occurred. You have said he to the count and heavily i fear. Come that will do for let us replied the mexican a Mere trifle which you shall see me win and then turning to the banker was just commencing a Deal. Said he the King against the for Tho uninitiated in the mysteries of Monte it May be necessary to state that by uttering these words Valleja bound if an Ace came up before a King equal amount to that in the Bank count s perfect command Over himself and his countenance made it very difficult for so Young and inexperienced a Man an Rafael to judge of what was passing in his mind the latter nevertheless fancied that for three or four Days past there had been a change in his Demeanour denoting uneasiness and it was not that he was duller or More silent on the conversation was perhaps More b Rill Tant and varied Bis and More frequent than usual Bat without asking for any in Inlet wat Ai to i laugh louder but there was a hollowness in a strained tone in the conversation As if he were compelling himself to be Gay in order to drive away painful himself with Many words and forced merriment. Rafael attributed this to the annoyance caused by his heavy losses and now urged him to Dis continue his visits to the Monte table at least fora time or until his better. The count met the suggestion with a smile. My dear cried he. Gaily you surely a not suppose that the loss of a. Few miserable ounces would be sufficient to an Noy me for a moment As to abandoning play we should he puzzled then to pass the Idle hour or to o following the siesta. Be sides that u amuses me. But do not make you Aeu uneasy i Shalli do myself no to pay As Well As All the winnings of those who had backed the Ace. If on the other King won the whole capita of the Bank was his As Well As the stakes of those who bet against him. Copa Al t6ere.wab a general murmur of astonish ment. The Bank was the largest that had been seen in that room since a certain me Morable night when King Ferdinand himself being out on one of the nocturnal frolics in which he so much delighted had come up in disguise with an officer of his household and lost a sum that bad greatly advantaged the Bankers and sorely diminished the contents of his Catholic majesty s privy purse there were at least Twenty thousand dollars on the table in Gold and paper and besides that scarcely had the mexican uttered the name of the card he favored when on the strength of his previous ill Luck some of the players have ii his Teeth and stepping out pushed the awning a Little aside and leaned Over the Balcony. The banker began to draw the cards one alter the other slowly and nearly half the pack was dealt out without a King or an Ace appearing. The players and lookers on were breathless with anxiety the fall of a pin would have been audible the tune which the count continued to hum from his station on the Balcony was heard in the stillness that reigned As distinctly As though it had been thundered out by a whole orchestra. Another another was drawn and the decisive on appear the silence was immediately exchanged Ifor a tumult of words and exclamations. Ques is so said Valleja turning Hal round and smelling As bespoke at a Superb Flower which he had just plucked from one of the plants in the Balcony what s the the person nearest window who then paused arid hesitated. Said Valleja with a sneer scion of a Noble Anil once respected family. Front his Early youth he had made himself remarkable As Well for the vices of his character As for the skill with which he concealed them under a mask of agreeable accomplishment Anil fascinating manners. His father dying shortly after he became of age had left him the uncontrolled master of his Fortune which he speedily squandered and when it was gone to lived for some time by the exercise of his wits and by preying Miall who were sufficiently cred bus to confide in him. At length baling exhausted every no Man of Honor would speak to him and no usurer lend him a a raved at any rate of had by an unworthy artifice duped the very last person out of a few Hundred dollars and taken ship at Vera Cruz for Europe. It is scarcely necessary to add that the let Ter was a forgery. Misprints often strike what Are termed unlucky blows. The omission of a t makes the mortal the moral and the immortal poet stands praised As the immoral poet. We read a Short time ago a Lamenta Ion on the frightful increase of morality in be Metropolis and once saw the advertise ment of a treatise on the blessed Imp Noral y of the soul we have met with the glory f4 turned into gory by the drop of the consonant our loyalty has.

The Dif Ference in their solar Ashu Manity can discern is attributable solely to the difference in their Choice of tha one was. Trained to Industry and frugality while the bother compelled to no appearances in genteel circles was forced to hazards of gaming and finally ruined. Tb.9 Case Here mentioned is but one of the Many which every reflecting Man s experience will attest As being Only too common in the land. We allude to it not for the purpose of Cellec Ting upon any of the Learned professions whose members generally Are entitled to great respect on account of both their intellectual and moral attainments it is refer red to Only for the purpose of.

Having done this with much deliberation he let his hands fall upon his fences and least Back in his chair with a countenance expressive of Nexha ustate patience.
