MISCELLANEOUS. ^ WHICH IS THE BRIDEl OB A SUMMER AT THK SPRINGS. A worshiper in fnsnion’* train, I sojourned, at Saratoga Springs. It was not a place 1 felt happy or contented in, for divers reasons the most potent of which was that there Emma Some i lon wan not ? and though I had often (ighed to her that she was * all the world tome, still “all the world” of fashion were pltylohydrocal, (coinugo of words is no felo ny,) then how could 1 he away 1 I had remained [ about two woeks, and the garden of my digestive powers had been welt watered at the Congress Fountain—the aeeds of renovated health began to i sprout out in full bloom, no I felt much inclined to [transplant myself to some other hot bed of fashion. I While dubitating which way lo direct the head of my tandem leader, circumstances which I am about | to relate, occoiioned my detention, 1 was seated waiting the return of my servant, i whom I had sent to the post-office to see if Emma [ hod thought of answering my last, when 1 found myself soliloquizing in something like the follow. I ing strain : I “This is probably the last season of my bachel. orship—next summer the goedian knot will be tied, | and 1 enrolled a Benedict! Oh, Etntnu Somerlon, what do 1 sacrifice for your love ! No more the look oblique, the leer amatory, or the sigh indes- [cribable, will be lavished on me—farewell the 1 crowded ball-room, the 1 spirit-stirring’ cotil lion, ’the lieart-piercing’ waltz, and ‘all the pride, I pomp and circumstances of glorious’ bachelorship, farewell! Othello’s occupation’s gone !’” I wus I interrupted by the entrance of my servant. I “No leltervwir; but n young’ lady lias sent up her , card,” said Simon, handling the embossed and I crowquilled article lo me. 1 “Misa Suaan Wheatley”—ah, what brings the charming Miss W. to my apartment ?—"Show her up. Simon.” Off he went—I mechanically drew my fingers through my hair, cast a furtive glance at the mir- vor, and satisfied that all was right, and that I look ed sufficiently killing awaited the approach of my lair viailor. “My dear Miss Wheatley, the condescension—” “Oh, Mr. Jenkinson, I shall expire !” "Be sealed, pray.” “How rude in me ! what will the world say 1” “How can I servo the amiable friend of Miss Somerton 1” Such was our first expressions at meeting. The young lady was evidently much embarrassed, and after various prefatory attempts at introducing bu- •vineas, at length commenced. “Mr. Jenkinson,everybody knows your kindness --your attention to our sex—your—” “Oh. why," thought I, “ has nature made me ao irresiatuhle ! Poor Miss Wheatley—she’s gone, I see.” “And it is that knowledge which has induced me *o apply to you under very peculiar circumstan ces.” “My services. Madam, are at your disposal- command me.” “Oh . sir!—you are too good—would you believe *'* **r, I have run away from pa. Ho would have me marry that odious English Mr. Basil, and so— •o—l ran away, expecting to meet a young—don’t * uu k at me so, air, or I shall never he able to tell you—to meet a young gentleman here, air—but l find lie has gone, and pa will be here this after, ’“’on. as he traced me—that abominabb old Mias Trampton, I suppose (old him—now, air, if you •ould only consent, in case he ahould find me he. “tre Chatbot cornea, juil lo—to" “What, Mias, .marry you myself, and ao prove four natural protector ?” “Oh, la, sir, out for the world! I beg pardon, air, I don’t mean that you are not a very nico young •wn. hut I’ve promised poor Charles, you know !” “Vcs, and I’ve promised Emma Sonterion, you **°te. and that renders it impossible.” “Certainly, but if you would only be my husband » Httl« whllo ” “Misa!" “I mean pretend—only lit a joke, you knew, air; *ny pa could notflaaaa m back to New York, and ** »ooo as Chartoa comes, he can etailjr lab* the *»H*t off yout head*,” •» up to the door—I saw the steps opened by the obsequi- ou* servants, and my city friend, Mr. Faulkner, alight. I expeoted next to see him turn round and hand out his charming daughter Julia, who by the way had been an old flame of mine ; but a little to my surprise, the carringo door was closed, he was solus. I turned from the window to go down and meet him when, sans ceremnnie, my door was opened and Miss Julia Faulkner herself stood be fore me. “Oh, my good friend !” she oriod breathless with affright and haste, “ I am in such terror—in such an equivocal situation.” •Actually so,” thought I, for the young lady had turned the key in the lock ! but whether through agitation, inadvertence or what, 1 could not pre sume to say. “Olt, sir! do pitly and relieve me !” “How, my dear Miss ?” speak your wishes, and whatever a friend of yours, and the betrothed of Miss Erritna Somerlon can in honor do, shall be willingly performed. “Oh, sir, could’ntyou act as my hushand a little while ?” “Why I could try.” “Well, will you then, my dear sir?” “Why, really Miss Faulkner, 1 have no objection —that is—I have no " “Oh, sir you hesilato and I am lost! but, sir, you know my father’s clerk, Edward Gaines, him, you remember, you was so jealous of two years ago, when you thought yourself in love with me. Weil sir, he promised to meet me hero yesterday, and we were to have eloped together, and been married ; ho has not arrived, but my father has ; and if we are torn asunder! Oh ! consider my situation!” “How can I relieve you ?” “Why, father doesn’t know who I was going to run away with ; 1 left a note on my table at home, saying simply, * with the man of my heart now sir, couldn’t you he he ?” “With the greatest pleasuro imaginable ; so let’s boldly sally forth and meet the foe; stay let me first unlock the door.” “Oh, sir, how could you be so Imprudent as to lock the door? She wns not aware that the im prudence had been Iter own! As she opened the door, Mr. Faulkner was passing; ho caught a glimpse of his daughter, and rushed into my apart- nient. “So, Mias, you’re found, are you; and with the man of your heart loo ?” "Pardon, papa 1” “Pardon you, Jezebel! never, never!” “Olt, don’t be so cruel, papn !” and my second wife clung to mo for protection. I now thought 1 had received my cue to speak ; so turning to her, said : “Never fear: I will protect you, most delectable of y«ir sex ! ’ “Delectable of your sex be hnnged !” was the father’s echo. “Come, sir! ’ rejoinod I, “ no protection can be more potent than your gray hairs, and your pater- nal relation to my most beautiful Julia ; but if you forget yourself, I shall be compelled, houever re- luctanlly, to assort my prerogative as this lady’s future companion.” “Prerogative ! your prerogative! and. pray, what claim can you assert 1” “Claim, Sir—why that of husband, sir.” “ Husband ! what, already married ?” “ Yes, sir, already married ; by whom, sir, when and where, my lovely Julia can inform you.” And if she couldn’t, I’m sure it would have puz zled me tc have done so. “Married—this is really sudden, and interferes materially with my arrangements ; but as ’tis done why l must take the heat of what I trust is not a very bad bargain, and so, sir, there is my hand— you are forgiven, and in taking my daughter, you, sir, have found us good a girl as the Slate of New York can produce. I suppose, sir, you enn spare your bride for a few moments, nnd she will not be grudge a minute or two for the purpose of putting Iter futher’s room in order, and making it as com fortable as she used to do the back parlor in Broad, way for me.” A ready compliance, of course, was the conse quence, and father and daughter left my apartment. “Bigamy nnd polygamy ! thought I as they re- tired ; well, fortune has showered her favors on me pretty liberally this day ; two wives ! ha ! ha ! the denouement will be capital, 1 wonder on whom the laugh will rest.” A prefatory rap, and Simon entered again, with news—Oh, sir! sir! Colonel Somerton’s barouche hasjust driven up, Miss Emma and her mother in company. “Who ? Emma Somerton ; death and the devil! here’s a catastrophe : what will she say ? No mat ter, though I am worse off than Macbeth, for I am tied lo a double stake, yet bear-like, I must fight my course ! Simon, let the family know, 1 shall be pleased to give up my room to them, which is one of the best the house affords, and it is much crowd ed.” My trusty valet soon acquitted himself of his mission, and Col. Somerton, lady, and my Emma were receiving the bows of their most obseqnius humble servant. The conversation which ensued being irrelevant to my present story. I shull not nl tempt to delineate ; suffice it to say, I was loung ing along one of the fashionable promonudes with Emma under my arm, and had almost forgotten, in the rapture of the unexpected meeting, the two la dies who claimed my most lender sympathies. I was acting at Ganymede to my betrothed one, and handing her a goblet of medicinal waters, w hen I was suddenly roused to setion, by the upproae.li from opposite pnthe, of my two cara spotas, each pnder protection of pa and papa! “Olt, Mr. Wheatley, I am rejoiced to see you,” .aid Mr. Faulkner, u Nothing can equal my surprise and satisfac. .ion," replied Mr. Wheatley. “My dear Julia, this is Miss Wheatley,” contin ued Mr. P. “Susy, this is Miss Faulkner,” rejoined Mr. W. “ Happy ta make acquaintance,” &o. This vaseof course, followed by mutual intimation that u was a mistake lo use tha term Miss. “Mils no lodger," said Mr. f. “Oil, yon know, it* ft, all about it ah ? I can't • \y I’m sorry.” “Sor. y—why I’m delighted.” 'Oh, you’re too kind.” "Well, don’t you think him a fine fellow ?” “Certainly ; but Susy, you must keep a sharp look out, for see how affectionately Miss Emma Somerton is banging on your husband’s arm.” !‘YourSusy’s husband,’ rejoined Mr. F. " whoit do you mean ?” “Mean, why, that that gentleman is my Susy’is husband.” "Poor! nonsense, friend Wheatley—this is n»y Julia’s husband.” "Your Julia’s ! ’tis my SusyN.” “Your Susy’s! ’tis my Juliu’s.” Emma iookod at me : a sort of flash, such as w e denominate heat lightning in a summer, visible, biut noiseless, wet gathering in her eye. I began To tremble for myself as her arm withdrew from mime, although my vanity was gratified, to think that I should be a bone of contention between two ladies, to be bone of my bone ; but the young Julia acid Susan cast imploring looks upon me ; at length. I broke the pause of universal astonishment. “Mr. Faulkner, my good friend, and Mr, Wheat. ■ ley, my much esteemed good sir, promise me one thing, and I will relievo all your curiosity.” “Promise ; this mystery.” “Well, then, each promise to grant my first re quest, be it what it may,and I will unfold.” After some little demur, the promise was given and I candidly related the facts as they had trans pired. r “You hussy,Susy !’’ roared Mr. Wheatley,“wo’Cl back to New York, and u boarding-school slmhl teach you belter manners.” "Softly, my dear sir,” interrupted I, “remembev your promise lo grant my first request.” Name it, sir.” “Firs', then, Mr. Wheatley, your consent to the- marriage of Miss Susan with her admirer Charles., and secondly, Mr. Faulkner, your consent to tha marriage of Miss Julia with Edward Gaines.” The ladies’ eye brightened, the consent was giv en slow and reluctant—I was triumphant, and film-- ma slyly pressed my hand in hers. Not to pro- • long my story, that day fortnight a clerical gentle-- man of Albany performed a triple marriage, and leave to the reader’s sympathetic imagination to find out who were the parlies. jtl leavening ho sought the restuurat fyr the third Mime, The same’set’were again there, but look* ogam it tg somewhut crest-fallen. After Joking them for S' »me time nur hero gravely addressed the cute gen- tTeman from whom he had purchased the ring. af. It tr this fashion : ‘Well, my dear fellow, 1 have had my laugh out u f you, and don’t want the ring. Marquand hns of fered me three hundred nnd fifty dollars for it;you • ! ball hove it for two hundred and fifty, and you enn go to him to-morrow if you like and make a cool hundred out of it.’ The offer wns too tempting lo be refused. The • bulk bit, and the Southerner received two bun- d red und fifty dollars worth of gold for fifty cents > vorth of paste. The next morning tho Carolinian ' vas non esl inventus; and the overreached sharper f bund lying on his table a beautiful little billet,seal, tid with perfumed wax, and stamped with a figure i >f Mercury, the god of thieves. On removing the envelop, the note was found to contain only three words, viz : Diamond cut Diamond. This was a puzzle; but the first jowellor to whom oi Jr ’sporting man’ showed the ring, explained the 7 ... - . , n tystery.

DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND. When there is a scarcity of natural pigeon s sporting men, by wny of keeping their liatujp ins occasionally pluck one another. A rich case of this kind in whiclt two of the fraternity, one a southerner and the oilier a New Yorker, figuroi I pretty conspicuously, occurred in thlb city last week , We will give the facts ns they were related lo us— - indeed, they need no amplification. The wholts sporting world of Gotham has had a pain in ilssidn for several days past, in consequence of the parox ysms of laughter into which it was thrown by the de nouement. We omit the names of the parties, but in other respects the statement may be implicitly relied on as full and faithful. It appears that in the early part of last week, Mr.——, of South Carolina, no “upper crust" gambler, arrived in town with plenty of the fluid, for the purpose of betting on the approaching raco between Puytona and Fashion, and of picking up any thing verdant that might come in his way. Soon after landing from the Philadelphia boat, he wend ed his way to a certain well known restaurat in Park Row wiiere blacklegs most do congregate, and for the purpose of meeting some of his old acquain tances and making some professional inquiries. He had just lighted his cigar, and was in the act o!' raising a glass of brandy and water to his lips, when the flash of a large jewel on the little finger of one of the craft who was performing the same op eration arrested his attention. 'That’s a fine diamond,’ exclaimed the southern er, sitting down the tumbler, and stooping forward lo obtain a closer view of the jewel. •Yes,’ remarked the other, 'it ought to be—I gave five hundred dollars for it, and got it cheap at that. I wish I had the value of it now, though, for I got regularly cleaned out at ’sin Barley street, yesterday.’ ‘What’ll you take for it, cash down,’said tho southerner, who, like most of his tribe is fond of showy bijouterie, and having a pocket full of rocks, felt himself remarkably self-complacent. Well,’ said the New York laud.shark speaking slowly, and taking a puff at his cigar every second word, ‘os I want money, and you are n pretty clever fellow, 1 don’t care if I let you have it for four hun dred und fifty dollars.’ Say four hundred,’ was the reply, 'and it’s a bar gain;’ The ring was transferred and the money was paid. By this time, the parties had become the centre of a little knot of knowing ones upon whose faces sat a sneering expression, which tho south erner, who, like all gamblers, was a good physiog nomist, perceived and did not relish, When tho transaction was completed his keen ear caught the sound of n sniggering whisper, which ran round the little circle, and he at once concluded he was done. Ho showed no symptoms of suspicion, huw. ever, but calling for champagne treated the com. pany—declared himself delighted with his pur. chase, and bidding his friends good evening left the place. Proceeding to the store of an eminent jeweller in Broadway he placed the ring on the countre and asked the value of‘that brilliant.’ The jeweller looked at it and smiled. ‘It’s paste,’ said he, ‘and worth about fifty cents.’ ‘Have you a real stone about the same size and shape ?’ said the southerner. 'I have,’ was the reply, and a bcautifol little dia mond, of which the mock stone seemed n fac simile was produced. The price was four hundred dollars. The south'- erner then explained that he wished to borrow it for a few days, and would leuve the value in the jeweller’s hand until it was returned and pay twen ty.five dollars for tho use of it. The proposition was agreed to, the diamond substituted for the counterfeit; and the South Carolinian left tho store. On the next evening ho paid another visit to the restaurat, and found the old party assembled. They all began lo quiz him, declaring that he had been regularly ‘sucked in,’ that his ring was not worth •% dollar, &c., the former owner of the trinket appear ing to enjoy the joke more than any of the rest. Well gentlemen,’said tho supposed dupe in a self sufficient tone,‘you may Mini; what you please, I know it’s a diamond, I’ve travelled some, and I’m not lo he taken in quite so easy ai you think for. I’ll bet you a hundred dollars .this is a real brilliant.’ The bet was taken up in an instant and others of. fered to the amount of five or six hundred dollars more, all of which wus promptly met by the south, erner. The stakes being put up, out sallied the sportsmen to find a jeweller. The first they ques tioned' pronounced the stone a‘fine diamond and worth from four to five hundred dollars,’so said the next, and the next, and the next. The better stood aghast!—it was a diamond, and uo mistake ; aod as the southerner pocketed the ‘tin,’ he coolly ob served. “I told you, gentlemen, 1 have travelled some.” The following dey he took the atnno back to the jeweller of whom be had borrowed it and had the composition counterfeit replaced in the ring,aod in GAMBLING IN GERMANY. Wiesbaden, in tho Duchy of Nassau, is the most famous watering place in Germany, and is des- itribed as a very pleasant spot. It is, however, ns i tuch places are apt to be, polluted by somo crying ’rices, among which is tlmlof gambling, which is practised to a frightful extent. A correspondent ’>f the New York Observer gives a graphic des. ijription of some of the gambling scenes ho wit. i jessed there. The extract below is from his des- cripliun. Tho Kur Saal spoken of is a magnifi cent hotel at Wiesbaden : “In the public rooms of the Kur Saal are roul ette tables and other apparatus for gambling, which after dinner, und especially in tho evening, ore sur rounded with persons of both sexes, most of whom stnlto more or loss money. Directly opposite me at dinner sat n young man whose countenance in. stantly attracted my attention. He was very pale and thin, while his cold bluoeye, high cheek bones, and ulmost marble whiteness and lutrdnc^s of fea tures, together with a sullen morose aspect, made me shrink from him ns from some deadly thing. Added lo all this, when he rose from the table, 1 saw he had an ugly limb, which tnado him seem more unnatural and moiister-like than before. “Wundering soon after through the rooms, see. ing whnt was lo be seen, I enme to a roulette table around which were gathered gentlemen and Indies of all nntions and ages, some of them staking small sums, apparently for mere amusement. Just then, this sullen cudaverous looking young man came limping up, and deposited a roll of twenty Napoleons, or about eighty dollars. A single turn of wheel, nnd it was lost. He quietly drew forth unothor roll, which wns also quickly lost. With out tho least agitation or nppuront excitement, he r.lius continued to draw forth one roll after another t ill ten of them, or about eight hundred dollars, were ^ Ho then as quietly, and without saying a word, limped away. Ho had not spoken or chang ed* a muscle tho wiiole time, and manifested no more anxiety or regret thun if lie had lost only so on.iiiy pennies. ‘There,’ said I to myself, as he Mi’jmered away,‘goes a professed gambler, and he has: all the qualities for u successful ono. Perfect, ly cool and.possessed under the most provoking re verses, he does not get angry and rave at fickle perverse fortune, but takes it all as a matter of bu. einess.’ I then knew for the first time why I feltsuch an unlipathy towards him. A gambler carries his repulsive soul in his face, in his eye, nay, almost in his very gait. He makes u chilling atmosphero aiound him, that repels every one that approaches him. Gambling seems to metamorphose a man more than any other crime except murder. ‘At night the Kur Saal is thronged with persons of both sexes, and ns 1 strolled through it 1 came again upon a gambling table, arouud which were •ittiug’gentleman and ladies of every age and na. lien. English girls were tensing their ’papas’ for a few sovereigns to stake on the turning of a card, and old men wore watching the changes of a game with all tho eagerness of youth. One lady in par ticular ntlrncted my attention. She .vas from Bel. giuin, and her whole appearance indicated a 'per- eon from the upper rank of society. To aa ole. gant form she added a complexion of incomparn- ble whitenose, which contrasted beautifully with her rich auburn tresses, thntflowed in ample ringlets uround her neck. Clad in simplo white, and adorn ed with a profusion of jewels, she took her sent I jy the table, while her husband stood behind httr chi jJ r and, with her delicate white hand on a pile of 010 ’ ney before her, entered at once into tho ex e.ito- ment of the game, As she sat,and with her small rake drew to her, or pushed from her, the money she won or lost, I gazed on her with feeling:; with which I had never before contemplate d a • roman. I did not think it was possible for an eleg ant und well dressed lady to fill mo with feoMngs \,f such utter disgust. Her very beauty became Holiness, and her auburn tresses looked more u nbedomin” than tho elfin locks of a sorceress. I j er appear- anco und her occupation presente d si Jc p a „ ut t or contrast, that she seemed infinit ely tn>|ier In me limn the cold-blooded endeverous Ice jking gambler l Imd seen lose bis money a few hours before. While I was mentally comparing t'nem, in became, limping towards the table. I was half tempted to peep round and seeifhehad n ot a cloven foot. With the same marble-like foatur es and forbidding as. pect, ho approached and lui d do wn a roll of twenty Napoleons. He won, an-d pu (ting down another, won again ; and thus he f;ontit jued winning, one af. tor, another till he had go t bar ; k tho ten ro ,| s he hnd before lost, and two in ad. Ji,j„ n . Then, without wailing for fortune to t urn against him, ho walked away without saying -a wc ,td.” MR. POLK AND MAJOR LEWIS, Another Rilraufrutu a Letter if Gen. Jackson’s the lalq Editor of the Globe and the present Ed itor of the Organ. I ho ink was scarcely dry on the pen, with which we wrote our article about the proscription of Gen. Jackson's bosom friend, Major Lewis, before we opened the Nashville Banner, nnd found another evidence of Mr. Polk’s magnanimity! It seems that the President is not content with decapitating Mnj. \V. B. Lewis, but his millions must sustain iiim in his prescription, by vilifying the character of Gen. Juckson’h best and dearest friend. If tho people of this oounlry, huve ever before doubted the want of gratitude or magnanimity in James K. Polk, we think those doubts will no lon ger exist, after reading the letter of Maj. Lewis, and the extract of ono from the Hero, which will be found subjoined lo this. We are rather inclined to think too, that it riot only places his Excellency in an unenviable position, but ulso, is calculated to make some others who are not n thousand miles from the seat of Government, feel uncomfortable. It will be seen that the rumors which were rife nt first, about tho dissatisfaction of iheclmnge of Or. ganists at Washington, were not altogether fulsc rumors. We should like very much, in connection with the letters which follow, to give the renders of the Whig, aye, the whole country, the remarks of tho Nashville Banner, (lie editor of which has been u close observer of Mr. Polk's conduct ever since 18,14. As wo are denied, by the wunt of room, lo publish the Banner’s remarks, and the extract of the letter lo which Ma j. Lewis refers, we enn only’ promiso to give them to-morrow that all may see the game the administration is playing.—Rich mond Whig. “I Aod tint Mr. Blair «nd tl* into some difficulty about Jb* Gl^ a. its Editor) being the axecMimotwtn ■ “ eaident has got into vrW difficulty flie Pre no result but injury to bim,~«nd ooj ses on the President’s part for ft.; J Blair haa become unpopular with part oti racy—ha in. opened hie cars to bed edtrieem.

This muy have been so, hut 1 doubt it, and I think the public will doubt it, after rending the extract from one ol the General’s letters to me, which I enclose you herewith for publication. I am particularly desir. oiis that my friends nf the Democratic puny shall know what a devoted friend James K. Polk wns to that wise and patriotic man—in what respect and veneration ho held his sage counsels, and how anr- ious ho had been, after his advent to power, to grat ify his wishes nnd smooth his descent lo tho grave, into which it was well known he was rapidly sink ing, as some return for having elevnted him lo tho highest station in the gilt of a great and free peo ple ! I beg therefore, that they will read this ex tract from liis letter, every word of which is in his own hand writing, and judge fur themselves thn extent of his friendship for the General. From his own words, it seems that his course had “vexed him sorely." Yes, well do I know, lie wus mortified und sorely vexed; nnd I have other letters which show haw greatly lie must have been disappointed in his expectations. I make no apology for' publishing the enclosed extracts from the General’s letter. As my friend, ship for him has been doubted, I want the public to understand how those who doubt it have n right themselvos to be considered his friends. Betides, the people expect and are onlitled to see every line the Goneral ever wrote on public affairs, and soon, er or later, they will be gratified by their publicQ. lion. I have several hundreds of his letters, run ning hack to the time of the Inst war with Eng land, written in the freest and most unreserved manner, and there is not ono ol them thnt would not do credit both to his head and hie heart—not a line that does not breathe the sentiment* of a pure, ardent, and sincere patriot, I am, sir, with much respect, Yourob’i, servant.
