Among Hio thousand of jrold seekers who
landed at Sienmcato in the Rummer of the
y;ar 1819 on tl cir way lo tho flaocrs on
the SouthJU’ddlo, and North forks of the
American ’ivor, was n preposis’ing'noklng
centlcman by the name of Ilardie. Ilia on

fourteen years, l ut who.notwithstanding his
oY'reine jon'h, W”s sharp, sbrowed and in
tcl’igent, JLr Ilardie was what might )>■

for gaming rnih’ca him. He was not a pre
f s ional Indeed, ho looked wi b contempt,
upon all who kept games es chance, but his
perif nal dislike fiir fU-h did not
prevent him risking lis rnOiev oa ihc turn
of a ckrd or cast off a dice. His s)p, lolly
aware of his father’s only fading, sought
ow ry possible means to keep him from the
table, in tho h p-, vain though it was, that
the passion would lose its held upon him,
and that eventually he would be tlofough
ly we ate 1 from cards.
Ilardie landed in Fncrnmento with about
one hundred dollars iu money, the of
h : s once amp'e fortune, snd wi'heutan hours
delay pushed for the njim s which had just
been discovered tt the wrs'warJ of Co'oaia
(fc ruierly iStiifter'ville,) wher-’ if was rumor
ed very rich vws had Icon dissovorod
By a chance Ilardie nd bis ton uade the
acquaintance on the road of two honost-
I eirted, advcnt&rous sailors, and they di tor
mined to ‘inspect’’ (Lo counfiv t-gether.
Oa the fourth day from tl eir L aving Sac
rament i the lit lo c< tnpnny entered a gulch
which suh--rquen ly became femous cs tho
“Oregon, ,T at and there succeeded a claim that
amply rrpiid the adverturers for their time
and labor. At tho ext iration of four rriwntliK
the company had rea ized twenty thousand
dollars. This was equally divided, one
halt being handid to Ilardie and his gen,
while the other was retaired by their co
lahi ri rs. V\ lien the division had been sat
isfact rdy made,lla die bre-amo suddenly
rest,'ess. He ii t : mated a desire to return
to Sacramento, there to eng-ge in some
mercantile pursuit for which bis early e.U
,ueation had fitted him, and he (ff.rcd to
sej! his own and his son’s iu'e est lo the
soil oh. These men were rfluctaLt to part,
with him. The lad was also adverse to the
proposition; but Ilardie persisted in his
resolution, and fiually disposed of his claim
for twenty five hundred duliars.-
On returning to Hacrametifo, Other and
sop, the read'T perc-'ivos, had the snug little
ctq itakof upwards of twelve tlionsjsn.i dcl
lurs to bigin with llud lluFdie, as he
honestly lutcnded when at Oregon canon, at.
once embarked in trade, he could Lava in a
few ranutbsfrtblnd, if not quadrupled b ; «
capital, ami peril p , in the eeutas of«'ouple
of years, returned to tho Atlantic Htures
wi’h a fntnne qui e as large as he was mas
ter of bt-fjro the uuhia fir gembling came
up wi him.
-Uof’cnuatcly for h : m 1 ostver, before I e
had fully arranged t i-t ruorcuQtie! pr jnets,
ho rt newed Ids aeqn;iotaoee with a gontle
mh.n,vhitikc lim elf had loon addicted
to gambling, atd was by him iudueed to
visit the Kmpi'e Ba.IL on at that tucc the
<rf the town, whore faro,
nmn e, iogue et F.tiir, and other ganns of
oh ire; wore ep-nly pla}o-i—u “hell,”
where (hirer i, after in uths of exp sere,
perhaps of sivkoQSs, and always of hard la

at the gluring tulle.
Ilardie had hard’y en’ered the sdloon,
whi u the tLirft to urnid to him, and iven
before he was fully onscious of his actions,
he found Lioisolf sia ed at a faro tabic.
L’uf ittinately igsin fir llatdie, be iO;e
fn til it, wi inir of one thousand dollars.
The ]«i stou for gambling at onoe aroused
in the man and lo e uld uo in >re restrain
himself from indulging iu if than a bruk n
down, thirsty trqor can keep Lis lips
from tasting the fi.rv potutio'. tlist stimula
tes and poisoDf.
The ncxr night, and the next, Ilardie
was at the tabic—now however acenmpan
ii cl ly hie su, who with tears in his eyes
stQid Ly the chair an which his father sat
and trembling saw their little capital pass
into the hand, of lh* bankers of the game
llc, poorb>y, entreited his parent not
t • indulge in the wild intoxication, to save
money, arid if he would not engage in some
legitxuirte Ludness, either to return to the
mines or ais home in the far off East. He
might as wi ll have trie tl to persuade tho
hardened wretches who were swindling his
fa’her to return to the path of rectitude—of
honest deabrg.
Oo the third night Ilardie found hiruself
the owner of fvo hundred dollars. llis
thousands Lad already passed out of Lis
hands.
1 will win all back owloose tho remain
der before I rise, ho muttered. -“Poor
George" he added, as lie glauced at hia son,
l ought nut fur the boy’s sake to have given
away to my besetting sin, but I could not
help it.
The next momcDt Lis mind was ab. orb
ed in the game. Fortune seemed to be
agaimt him —in a few moments, ho had
but cue hundred dollars left. This ho bold
ly j I iced on the quc'eD, and calmly awaited
the result. Thus waiting, he leaned his el
bow of his left arm on the arm chair, and
while the caids weie being ahefiLd, hid his
faui iu the open palm of his baud.
A number of spectu ors were at the fable
bukniujof them ventured so heavily uh
Uardie, and took their losses and winnings
with some ilegrce ol equanimity
A few seconds of silence folk wed the
placing of the “deck” iu the faro-box, and
h:n amid the silence might be heard the
noi:e of the cards as they were drawn there
from anddioppid upon their operate piles.
Lost said the dealer, in a low smooth, tone
and ere the sound of the vuioc had died away
■ll the table were either paid or swept to
the other side of the banker. “The queen
wins,” he added, in the same indifferent
tone.
But before the announc ment ihe queen’s
win, had been made ‘lie son observed that
his father’s body slightly quivered s with
emotion, and then remained passive as ber
fore. Yes! Ilardie had won- Fortune had
ngniu smiled upon him. His bet hul b>cn
added to by tho bankerp but he did uot at
tempt to remove it. Was he about to try
his luck the secoud time? Yes! he made
uo i e,alive movement.
Again tho c> ids were dealt from the box,
on 1 again Bardie’s firtifnc was ii. tbeascen
dant— but to the surprise of all he permit
ted his winnings ij lemaij ou the ljrtuuatc
card.
“ I'he nnn is either nsVep, drunk, ora
fool,” whispered a looker-tm, just os the
winning osrJ turned up for tlie lightb time,
or he would not ri-k so much.
“Eather, father” whispcrid tlie hoy as he
saw with nervous exoitemi wt the weilth
which was at each moment increasing fn
his parent’s side at the mine time dreading
with those around -him i’s sudden loss.
Again and for the last time tbe queen
turned up to the utter ameaement of the
spectators oa iheskie of the bitter.
Fur nine successive deals the queen turn
ed up favorable to tbo batter, it was ex
traordinary— arrange tho pack as the dealer
might, the curds at each distiilmtion on
which ilardie Lad placed bin last hunred
do'lan would turn up in his favor, Tbe hun
dreds had rapioly iuereaßjd to thousands of
dollars. At last so rxoecding'y hiavy had
the bets become, that the entire company
iu the sdoou gathered around tho table, and
wondered at llio temeiity of the man wlu>
dared so uiueh-fir as all knew, ois adverse
card and the bank would again have in its
possession the enormous pile 1 1 gold aud

ed over aud completely obscured the quecti
For a moment the bankers and dealers
consulted together, aud then the latter said
iu n calm but somewhat unsteady voice—
“ The bank will rrc-ivo uo more Lets tu
uight. It is closed.”
The announcement that the hai k had
been broken seemed to ruleaso the tongues
of the spectators, who instantly set up u
cheer at the unwm ted event.
“Father, father,’’cried the lad, “the bank
is broken, all this is yours ! (Joint!
There was no movement.
A “'ranger took bold of the hand llai'Jie
had pi 'ccd on the table, and with an oath
declared the man was slspidly drui k, rnd
did’nt. know what he was abou“. As he
attempted io remove bis hand, he suddenly
started back, and before h t could nprn bi«
lips to express his ait nvit-hment, HardtuV
head fell heavily on the table.
A slight examination told the talc. The
poor gambler was dead.
Subsequent inquiry proved that he hud

The bankers not forgetting their in'erost,
set ap a elaim for the nronuy thry had h s K ,

The Snleriiipled Marriage.
BY WILLIAM COMSTOCK.
A couple of young girls, seated on a dwell
rssii a pleasant culture ou the outskirts ol
Ha Seilie, a pretty village ristufed on the
lowest point of tl ti Bay es Touh n, discussed
a subject which seemed to be to them of the
high' at importance.
“Thou art mistaken, Z pbyrine,” cried
the younger, whoso eyes and hair were very
dai k, and who wort-a white silk frock, wiih
pink garnitures ; “the long veil aud orange
wreath are g 'ing out of fasho n, aud Blanche
will be married iu white crape, trimmed
with jenquilf,”
* 1 Lope she won’t go back to the style in
which our grandmothers were married, and
put on the amadis, troin and all ; but let me
tell thee, l’aulette, that I don’t think Blanche
is happy, whatever may be her dress and coif
fure, or however splmdid may be tros
seau and curb'dllc.”
“J/a fui! Zephyrine, thou dost not sup
pose tlmt Blanche herself with
dr amsi”
. “Docs she mt ? Then, why did she call
on old Madame Dclarme, who lives in the
hut by the seaside, aud pay her five fraues

“Asd what did the old Lu’.dame till hci?”
“Why, thou knowest that on aeo uot of a
strange dream,. Blanche has been troubled
with a fear thaf something would interfere
to prevent her oiairiago. She has got the
promise from Aladamo Dclarme that no man
or woman living shall thwart her wishes.”
“Then she ought to be content.”
“Truly she ought, unless she fears that
some ghost shall come from the churchyard,
or h’om the morgue, and interfile between
her and her affianced.”
“She is safe, if no living person interferes
with her. Yet she is content ?”
“She is more sad than ever.”
“I have never learned the nature of hci
dr am,” sail Paulette.
“That is the mystery, She has never told
h(sr dream ; she seems to hold it iusui!: hor
ror that she is afraid to hear it from her own
lips."
“Truly, then, she places little confidence
in ths eouthsayi:!.”
‘ It is possible,” said Z pbyrine, “that the
words es (he soothsayer do not reach tbr
case. Her dream, it seems to me, muit
have touched upon the supernatural, and
may have lo relatiuu to a living man or
wornsr.
“Mun I)itu ! but that is absurd. Blanche

could always be ruled by an understanding,
we shuuld s.- ilom indu g - in gl . my forbo •
ings ; but, we have flash, blood and apiii , as
well as intellect, and few of us are ruled by
reason.”
While the last speaker was pronouncing
these words,a young lady entered tbe cot
tage, and with a sort of dancing step aprcacb
cd tho apartmeitin which Paulo te, Z
ine was seated.
She was about the m (Idle height, oxqui
sitely formed, though some might have
thought the sylph predominated too much.
As who swum into the room, her pink eoloi
ed garments fl atfd around her in a cL ud
of gossamer, one might almost have imagin
ed that the Ia 1 j s. al gh’ed from the char
iot of tbe. tuii.
“I am g)ail to see ytiii so lively, my dear
Blmche,”sa and Zephyrine, “especially as tho
time is very near. Lo pore Guiohuad is iu
:he next room.”
“I feel relieved, child, Ixciusc the time
is s > near,” lisped the f tiry Blanche.
“True dear, there can be no intt rfcronce
now Your forebodings wort without cause.
They say that girls who are about, being mar
ried are often nationsL Some think thoy
are going to die, and often imagine that
somatMf’gis going to happen,”
“Bah ! ’iwas only a ilrean —but it made
so<-h an impression upon me !
“And I observe that thoso arc the dreams
which are never fulfi.hd," cried l’aulo'te ;
' ‘they are a sort of nightmare caused by lato
suprera ”
“Let that pass! said Zephyrine. smilim?;
“we will talk of something else. You goti
I’a'is iuino diately after tlie ceremony.”
The pii-'at entered the apartmout, followed
by llio brideiroun and a ten‘an's Tbe hap
py pair stood side by side and the ccii niohy
was about to proceed, when a terriblo crash
was hoard, as if ths roof was bio 1 en in,thr
ceiling overhead gave wav, and the uiortcr
aud dust covered the pioliahcd floor.
Almost at the smic moup n*, a quivering,
mangled corpse fell between the bride and
low companion, and the white garments of
tho forn er were *Hed »i>h blood.
“Ul’, horror! he has come! ” shrieked
Blanche; and she fell lifeless upon tie do»d
body.
“.Mercy !” screamed Zq-hyrinc, “it is her
brother ! It is Edward ! ’
The mother of the bride was borne fniot
ing from the roum, and fer somo moments
no one seemed to know what to do, or to be
able to guess what had oecuried.
It wiih not long, however, before half a
i! /en e entry people cniiio running up to

“He fell here ! It was over this house
