AN UNCOMMON PARTNER AT CARDS.
(from the British Magazine.)
Ill our regiment, whilst in the East Indies,
were several wild young fellows, none more
so than I; and us our life there was very
monotonous, the officers betook themselves to
gaming. One day after dinner, cards were
brought, nnd all of us entered with such en
ergy into the fascinating game that every
thing else was in a manner neglected. At
length we changed it, und betook ourselves
in couples to seperate games. 1 and Ensign
A , as gay and rakish u rascal as ever
turned out from England, that we might pur
sue our game uninterruptedly, ordered the
servant to carry out into u sort of oummur
house, it decanter or two of wine, and the
cards: and thither we soon followed. We
played with intense eagerness for several
hours, till it grew so dark that wc could hardly
see what whs before us, I lmd been the gainer
ull the evening. “Come, A ,” said
I, addressing my companion, “1 am sure it’s
high time we should quit the cards and return
for we’ve a good d -ul of regimental business
to do to night.” “Stay, , and finish the
game, you will not move an inch till then.”
“ I tell you, A——, 1 must und will he gone ;
why should wc thus make toil of pleasure,
and beside gain another rebuke from the Co
lonel 1 I’ll away,” “ Stay nnd try one more
game,” said A , laying his hand on my
afin—“ nnd I’ll win back what I’ve lost!”

will," “ Then," replied my companion, “ if

panic, nnd a pleasant companion to you—
farcwel!” said 1, nnd left the room. I hasten
ed to my own apartment, where I had a good
deal of regimental business to transact. 1
had not been so engaged long, when the door
was Hung hastily open, and iu rushed Ensign
, and his eyes starting with horror and
his check as pale ns marble. He sat down
on a eliair, looked fixedly on me, but without
peaking a word. I called for wine, nnd got
him to swallow a little. The cold perspira
tion burst from Ins forehead, and his eyes
glared inlo every corner of the room, ns
tho' apprehensive that some wild beast vvas
ndy to spring upon him. “ Why, A ,”
said I, shaking him, “what is the matter
with you ? Are you mad ?” lie made no an
swer except hy n faint mourning kind of in
distinct whisper. “ Are you frightened—oi —
or wluit 1” continued I, motioning to the ser
vant to leave the room. By degrees my com
pi.iiion became composed. “ Oh, T
said he faintly nnd slowly—“ I am a lost man
—a dead man !” “ Pshaw, my good fellow,
what is the matter with you ! You’ve been
too free with the wine , and that, added to
your heated spirits, has nenrly overturned
your brain.” "No, T lie replied, “ I
am sober now, if I never wns so before iu my
life. But my days on earth nre numbered!—
Next Thursday I shall he no longer an inhab
itant of this world !” There was something
so indescribably nfTectiiig, I may say shock
ing, in the deep deliberate tone of voice with
which he uttered this, us well as the steady
ashy Ime of his countenance, that I sat down
by his side without speaking. At length tak
ing his hand in mine, I asked him, in ns
soothing a mnnner as I was able, what had
caused his terror. “ I)o you remember whnt
I said, T , on your leaving mo to-night?”
—“Faith, yes; was it not that you would
play if you had the devil for a partner!”
Yes,” replied A , with a sickening smile
—“ I did so—and he took me at my word!
he continued, gasping, as if for breath.™
Why—why—stammered I partaking of
his fright—-“ Why, A , you don’t mean to
suy that ” “ i mean to say simply this,"
replied toy companion, with dreadful calm
ness, “that Satan has taken me ut my word.
A few moments after you had left me, I lean
ed iny head on my hands, and shut my cyei
Immediately 1 heard n rustling among the
cards on the table before me, I started, and—’
nconvulsive shuddering shook his frame
there sat opposite to me, iu the clmir which
you had just left vacant, a tall, pale man,
dressed in black. Why, how in the
name did you rome here !” said I, in amaze
ment. “ To finish the game, with you, ns you
wished said the stranger, deliberately, ;it the
same time arranging the curds. 1 saw that
his hands were as white ns alabaster, and he
put the cards in order with amazing care and
skill. He offered me the pack. “ Why—why
who are you, and whence did you come
stammered I, at the same time that mycycs
seemed dancing in my head, and my knees
smote together with agitation. “I am come
to finish the game with vou, at your own re
quest,’’ said the stranger, precisely in the
Sinurtone und manner as before. I would
have answered, but my tongue clave to the
roof of my mouth- “ Why do you nut take
the cards'.” said the stranger, in u hollow
tone—-“ Will you finish the game according
to your promise!" “N-o'” I contrived to
SAND STORM IN THE DESERT.
[The following terrific description is by
Mr. Fraser the traveller in Khorasan.]
“ It dawned at last; and morning found tne
still in a wide and trackless waste of sand ;
which as the sun arose, was only bounded by
those flitting vapours which deceive the thirs
ty traveller with the belief thut water is near;
and have thence obtained the name of the
water of the Desert. In vain I looked for
the marks hy which my friend Selim had
taught me to recognize a place of refresh
ment. There was hut too tnuch cause (o
fear that I was now in one of those terrible
tracks of dry und moving sand, in which no
water is ever found, nnd which sometimes,
when set iu motion by the wind, swallow up
whole carrnvans and their conductors. Alas 1
the morning light, so earnestly expected,
only dawned to prove that 1 was surrounded
by dangers 1 had never dreamed of.
The wind which had blown so piercingly
nil night, lulled, ns it generally does,towards
morning; but tho hazy vapour, loaded with
light particles of sand, through which the sun
rose red ns blood, gave warning thut the calm
would not continue long; not had I pursued
my course another hour before the roar of
tllf; lJuitort M'intl wna ItunrJ) «olwn«no of ducL
began to rise in the horizon, nnd the air be
came gradually filled with driving sand.
“As the wind increased, the whole plain
around me, which had been heaped by for
mer tempests into ridges, like the waves of a
troubled sen, now gut into motion ; the sand
blew from off their crests, like spray from the
face of the waters nnd covered myself and my
horse with its dense eddies ; while often unable
to dcstinguish the true course, my horse toil
ed over the ridges, sinking up to the very
girths in the deep baffling substance.
“ I continued for some hours to persevere,
struggling against the fury of the gale, when
my alarm mcreused hy observing that my
horse, which hitherto had stood out with ad
mirable perseverance, even when his progress
! was the most painfully impeded hy the deep
j sand, now became terrified and restive. He
snorted, rcul'ed, nnd appeared unable, as well
ns unwilling, to face the sharp drifting of the
still increasing storm. In vain 1 soothed him,
or urged him on with heels and hand ; the
animal, which hitherto hud obeyed my voice
almost like an intelligent being, now paid no
attention cither to caresses or to blows. In
the several squalls tlmt'drove past atintcrvuls,
he fairly turned his hack to them und would
not move : nnd even when the wind lulled
for a little, he could hardly he forced to ad
vance a step. *
“ I scorned to yield tny life withoiwn strug
gle, yet saw not the means of preserving it.
To abandon my horse would have been, in
fact, to give ip hope; fori could not have-
proceeded a single mile on foot, yet to re
main stationary, as I was forced to do by the
terror of the animal, involved manifest des
truction. Every thing that offered resistance
to the torrent of sand, whicli sometimes pour
ed along the earth like a rapid stream of 'wa-
I ter, was overwhelmed hy it in an incredibly
I short time ; even while my horse stood still
for a few moments, the drift mounted higher
than his knees'; nud, as if sensible of the
danger, he made furious efforts to extricate
hiusclf.
Quite certain that my only hope of safety
lay in constant motion, and in the chance of
gaining the leeward side of some hillock or
mass of rocks that might afford a shelter till
the storm should blow over, I gave up my
true course, turned my hack to the wind,
nnd made ull possible efforts to press forward;
and at Inst, just when both man and horse
wore exhausted, during u partial lull, I obser
ved something like a rock'or mound of earth
looming through the dusky atmosphere. On
approaching it, I discovered that it was tho
bank of an inconsiderable hollow, which wus
now nearly filled with sand, and on the op
posite side of which, being exposed to tho
wind, had hy the same means become mere
ly an inclined plane: beneath this batik I
fortunately retired, resolved U trust to its pro
tection, rather thun run the risk of u further
progress with the imminent peril of perishing
in the drifting sand, where vision could not
extend for a space of many yards.
CHEERFULNESS RECOMMENDED.
The editor of the Western Review, (Mr.
Flint,) in one of iluJ articles in the last num
her of his interesting publication, thus recom
mends a cheerful disposition.
" Weeping philosophers may tell us, as
much as they will tlmt to smile is a fault, and
to laugh a crime, which God has forbidden.
We believe no such thing. Wc arc with Ctt-sar
in his estimation of the lean and gloomy Bra
tus. Rogues muy look gloomy from an evil
conscience, and want of self respect. Hyptv-
crites may affect mystery and gloom, for tho
authority and consequence it mny give them
iu the eyes of their blind admirers. They
who want intrinsic material to create respect,
may assume solemnity of deportment, to pre
serve their dignity unimpared. We believe,
that God requires of us to labor for cheerful
ness, and that an honest and benevolent man
ought to smile as often ns be innocently can.
Heaven knows, that these sunshines of the
mind will lie sufficiently few and far between
at the best. We are not afraid of smiles ; but
we always beware of Knights of the woeful
countenance, and them of the long and trist
ful vitaep "
