once cjllcd in to ball a fellow with whom
I had loriij been on term of intimacy.
We played a game or two at backgam
mon In 1 16 spungitig house. 1 threw
sixes, one on one side the board, one on
the other, lie protested it wa. against
lue rule ot tbe game, ana minted on
my throwing again. I took up my lint,
left the room, and suffered my fiicnd to
go to prison. Did I not serve him right
ly? Tho only objection I ever heard against
backgammon was its want officiality, on
ly two can play at it. Tliii is the objec
tion my erv good friends, the whist (day
era. Hut f don't eouidcr it an objection ;
far from it it is an advantage. There it
acldoro more than one person in a com
pany tliat jrou care to concern yuurvclf a
Iwut ; a friend, perliaps or a twi.etlieart.
If a friend, how delightful an opjiortunity
it affords you fur a tete-tt-ttte ! You go
on playing and joking, rattling the dice and
nquihbiug off puns, an pleasantly as .sun
shine in a hay-field. The game no more
interrupts your thoughts than a gnlc dis
turbs the serenity of the deep. It is to
your discourse .what the accompaniment is
to a song ; it is as animating as a Irumtict
to a war-horse, or a view-uollo lo a fox
hunter, or a pair of bagpipes to a Scotch
man. In tlw cum; of a sweetheart, the
game ii positively invaluable. To the
lady herself what opportunities it aftorda
for the display of a well turned arm ; how
dantily her little fingers curvet about a
mongst tho men ; how brilliantly glance
her bright eyes, nulling over soino lucky
throw ! and lo you a ftlr-rhampttre, or a
ball gives uot half tho facilities. 1 never
was in love but once in my life, and then
I always used to pay my addresses through
tho medium of tho backgammon board.

We have " not the tMjiers to show the
fact, hut from general information which
memory has in her binary on the subject,
we believe we arc authoriiu'd in saying,
that a greater numlicr of unhappy marria
ges aic lontructed in thcte latter days than
formerly ; and that in consequences mote
applications are m.,de and granted for di
vorce. The principal reason of this is,
that the old fashioned wedding has in n
great measure given tiny to a modern ntcth
od.dctitutcoffurni, fdeinnicy and religion.
The Squire's office has been substituted
for the church ami the altar, the statute for
the the prayer book, and the Justice of the
district for the iiastor. It requires no nerve
to take " a .solemn vow ; " for the man
who can make au affidavit to .in " car
mark " can stand tipleforohis Honor, and
take a woman " fur better or worse."
Matrimonial alliances are thus easily
made, anil quite as easily broken. The
limbs of the law have found out that the
whole matter is a mere legal contract, like
the buying- and (selling of produce ; and it
has been decided in the good old Keystone
.State, mi the iicrs inform us, that a wed
ding on Sunday is not binding, because con
trary to the proviss'um of law in relation to

generally in vogue, leave no trace of moral
beauty or obligation on the mind. The re

and as a matter of course, they told
their ininatdTriends, und ench relutetl
tlie tnnttcr with pome of their own
dressing, until it wns generally believ
ed by till, that Dennis nnd" llridget
would soon become as one. lliitlgct
prided l crself 01. the good fortune of
receiving so many kind attentions' from
Dennis, who seemed to be a general
favorite nt every wake and fair ', and
at one time, llridget actually went go
far ai to ask a neighbor about the style
and cost of a wedding gow 11.
Now as the lasses of the pnrisli be
lieved, bom Jitif, that Dennis was soon
to be married, they did not exhibit the
reserve they otherwise would have ;
nor did they keep aloof from him as
they had done of yore, but said many
sweet things to him, because, if event
ually, he should become a widower,
they still might have an opportunity of
winning his second love.
Some tui6ecn Ariel informed Dennis
of Hridget's unwarrantable and to him
unpleasant conclusions ; which he could
not willingly comprehend. However,
by dint of deep and rcsenrchinrr reflec
tion, and deliberation, lie understood
vilmt llridget would have him do nnd
immediately, and as he supposed con
clusively, X'etovi her will, and turned
his maflcablo attentions unto another
hif3. The stubborn and unyielding
conclusion of Dennis near broko the
tender heart of llridget , and out of
malice (for women have it as well as
men) Dndget put her ingenuity to tttfk
to form a net to entrap the bird she
lain would call her own.
She well understood tho nature of
the 6caii ideal, and knew that he had
a natural fear of the reptiles which St.
Patrick had banished from the oogt.
She had heard, by some neighbors who
had attended market, that a menagerie
had arrived at the market-town, with
all kinds of animals, and in the collec
tion was to bo found several maktt,
from whose mouth the turner hud ex
tracted their fangs i and all this she
kept secret, with an old maid's cunning.
llridget had often persuaded Dennis
that their situations would be cnhaueid
and happier, if their fales were united ;
iiinl very impressively and emphatically
minted him ill-- mono, " Unitnl tc tUind
.lividrd wt full." Dcnni was inexora
ble, and the only Untried power by which
she might possibly arrive at tho g al of
her wishes, was force.
Therefore our undaunted and unyijld
ing heroine wended her way to the town,
where the menagerie was exhibiting (or
a limiud lime; and inquired fur the ex
hibitor nf the animals, (who, by the way,
wns a kind-hearted man, although it fill
to his lot to exhibit fvr cious lions, tiger,
hyena, Ac, for a livclihtod) and arked
of him the loan ol one of his small
snakes, fur a short time. As a matter
of course, the man refused lo comply
with her request, until llridget made b:.,o
acquainted with her misfortune", with
lobbing words and tearful 'ye. He
sympathised with llridget, and loaned
Iter the cnake, on com!, (ion that il would
bj returned uninjured, by a ejK.-eifted
time.
Having ','ne srrpent we'd pla-ed within
a small wicker tvrrk-batkel, she turned
her step homeward with h1 r jirottgr.
ilridet railed iton an attorney i-i the
I village before she left, and procured a
marriage contract, or rather a pledge lo
bind the signer to do the tame, a I reg
ularly filled, except the man's name.

and another man, foilowid llridgei' ! p

lh.unia, llu leaHi finui his U'd with
told swe.it on his I row, the snake still
coiling over hinii nnd signed the jxin'r,
which llridget had placed on the tiililu
when she fust euteied the hoiwe. Then
lliidpt't tiik the snake fmni the lssly of
Dennis, utl'l replaced it iu the bin-ket I and
at this moment, the two men, whom wo
left looing in at the window, entered, and
plated their liatnes u- witlic-sc lo the ngrw
