Sam "Oglivie was a gambler by profession and practice; but among planters who frequented his faro bank (and all of those of any wealth standing within 100 miles of Sel- nta took a turn at it when they could) there was only one who would entertain a question as to bam s bon esty. In that little white cottage, almost hidden by the surrounding grovei 'none but the fairest of faro was dealt, none but the squarest of poker was bet on. When the chips were brought and the cards cut, each one felt . that Tvhat fortune meant the pack to bring him would be interfered with by any man ipulation or the cards. But, alas! when was humanity be- yond temptation? Adam fell, 'Cesar fell, Warren felr.-(at Bunker'-Hill), even Beecher is suspected. One Sam was tempted and he But let me give the details. Judge Humphrey, Col. Swam, old Andrews (whose plantation . was measured by the thousand acres), Sol. Lovett, of St. Louis, were sitting in Oglivie's front parlor play ing a snug little game of draw. All heavy letters when they held cards; but Just then the cards were running light, and so were the bets. Sam, who cared very little for poker, had sat by watching the game rather than going into it. He held hand, of course, but his thoughts were rather on the lay out in the room than on the cards in his hand.c': Several times he had .hinted abandoning the game, bnt each the others had insisted on go ing on, so Sam had politely-stifled impatience ana naa Kept his Beat the table. . ; As ;the clock was telling 10 Sam called from the table, and excu sing himself f orrthe moment;, left the room.

The Russian couriers, or pony ex- pressmeu,' or mail carriers, as you may choose to call them,: travel nei ther on foot nor on horseback, ion will find that in this matter, as in al most every custom and habit of ev ery people, nature compels man to alter his arrangements, to suit: her conditions. In.. Tartary they have fine horses, great wide deserts and splendid roads, ', and, .naturally,. the couriers there are mounted; in im gland, where the roads are bad, run ning through bogs and "marshes, the old couriers were footmen; in Rus where snow lies on the ground nearly the whole 'year; "sleighs are used by the couriers.

While certain forms of table eti quette may seem altogether conven tional, even fantastic, the forms usu ally observed are founded on good sense, and adapted to general con venience. The table etiquette is not, as is often allcgded, merely a matter of fashion, although some things that were in vogue, a gener ation or two ago, are no longer deemed polite. The reason is that manners and table farniture have undergone so many changes; have really so much improved as to' re quire, mutual readjustment. For example, everybody was accustomed twenty or thirty years since, to use the knife to carry food to the mouth. because the fork of the day was not adapted to the purpose. Since the introduction of the iour-tined silver fork, it has so entirely supplanted the knife that the usage of the lat ter, in that way, is not only super fluous, but is regaided as a vulgar ism. ;: '." -Another example is the discontinu ance of the custom of turning tea or coffee from the cup into the Baucer, Although small plates were frequent ly employed to set the cup in, they were not at all in general use; and even when they were used, the tea or coffee was likely to be spilled up on the cloth. The habit, likewise, of putting one 8 knife into the butter arose from the fact that the butter-knife proper had not been thought of. Such customs as these, once necessi tated by circumstances, are not ob liviously inappropriate. , Certain, habits, .however, are reg ulated by good taste and delicacy of feeling, and the feeling to adopt them argues a lack of tine percep tion or social insight. One of these is eating or' drinking audibly. No sensitive person can hear any one taking his soup, coffee, or other li quid, without positive .annoyance. Yet, those who would be very un willing to consider themselves ' ill- bred are constantly guilty of .' such breach of politeness. -J The' defect is that they are1 not so sensitive as those with whom they come in' con tact . -Ihey would not be disturbed by the offense: thty' never ' imagined therefore, that any one else can be.
