THE ACCOMMODATING JUDGE.
There is a spirit in the sons of the fur
west which wo can trace through nil
ages and alomst every clime, as having
peculiarized those living midway be
tween savages and civilized life; and
though their fearless renconteis with
death must rank it under the name of
chivalry, there is oft a mixture which, in
polite society, we would term fe!o lious,
or mayhap, something harsher.
The incongruous compound may belter
he explained by the following anecdote
in which I shall consider myself in the
place of a deceased friend from whom 1
heard it.
While on the frontier of Texas several
years since, I stopped at a small town,
and put up at a tavern where the luxury
of the table more than compensated for
the smallness of the house. My supper
was prepared and I seated myself to par
take of it. I had hardly done so, when the
huge mass of a man entered. His head
was bound by a check handkerchief of
cotton tied in a bow-knot in front, and
from beneath its edge behind stuck a
rough and bristly mass of jet black hair.
His body was protected from the weath
er by a tight-fitting buckskin hunting
shirt; with leggins anJ moccasins of the
Sime material enveloped his legs and
feet; a belt of undressed deer hide buck
led roaund about his waist supported two
pistols of huge dimensions, and from it
was suspended a leather scabbard con
taining a knife, the handle of which was
afearful token of its length.—lie placed
his rifle in a corner, and took off the belts
which hung over his brawny shoulders,
suspending his shot pouch and a powder
horn, which were curiously wrought
and told of a Mexican artist. Having
thus partly unburdened himself, he pulled
a stool near the fire, for the night was
damp and chilly, and slapping his muscu
lar hands on his thighs, seemed to peer
with his keen eyes into the crackling
fire, which roared up the wide chimney.
Naturally unobstruslve, I noticed him
no farther and was fully engaged in my
meal, when the knife and fork fell from
my hand as I heard his thunder voice
fall upon my ear, and, in spite of myself,
a tremour stole through my body as 1
heard the awful tone with which he
spoke the last world.
“Landlord, gi’ me someliquor—l have
money.”
The landlord glanced at his guest and
hesitated a moment, but the stranger rai
sed his eyes; the effect was magical, in
an instant, the well filled whiskey-bottle
and tin tumbler were at his elbow.
“Landlord, hang that on the rifle; but
stop, gi’me the knife first,” and he han
ded the waist-belt, pistols and scabbard
to the host, while he thrust the knife into
the bosom of his hunting-shirt. As the
innkeeper was obeying the bidding of his
strange visiter, the latter poured the turn
bier full of whiskey and tossed it off at a
swallow.
“Landlord,” he cried again, “I want
something to cat —I’ve money for that
too.” There was a deep tone in his
voice that disturbed me mysteriously.
The additional plate was placed on
the table, and the stranger seat id him
self opposite to me. He had a fine ace
—a careless independence on it; but the
courteous manner in which he asked, ‘I
hope I aint one too many here, stranger,”
excited my surprise, i assured him that
I was pleased rather than otherwise, as I
disliked eating alone.
“Enough said,” answered he, “there’s
mv fist,” and we shook hands over the
table. His appetite was in proportion
to his bulk, and we discoursed but little
until after supper, when he commenced
a conversation in which he evinced a
sound mind, although his language was
rough and full of piovincialisms.
During our talk 1 ingratiated myself
in his favour, and in return for my polite
ness, lie recounted many deer, wolf, and
bear hunts, with such power that 1 was
delighted. The conversation, howcAer,
flagged, as 1 fell into a train of musing
on ihe very important business which had
brought me to that country. A gloom
gradually settled on the face of the stran
ger, from which I tried in vain to rouse
him. He answered me courteously, to
be sure, but very short; and every now
and then had recourse to the bottle, till it
was emptied.
“Landlord, fetch me more liquor,” he
called authoritatively, and he drank more
and more till finally he fell from his stool,
and, as 1 retired to bed in another corner
of the room, 1 heard his snoring ring
through the cabin.
Being much fatigued, having travelled
forty miles on horseback during the day,
} slept till I fell a band grasp my arm—
opening my eyes, ! beheld the sail shining
through the window, and the stranger
awaking me.
“Stranger,” said he, “excuse me, but I
saw last night that you was a whole-soul
r ed fellow, and I want you logo with me.”
e “Where to?” I asked.
| “The magistrate,” he replied.
“What for?”
“I’ve got something on my mind—
B must out—l tried liquc-E last night; but
1 could’nt keep it down. I aint a drinking
man no how, and feel like a dog.—Come
i along with me and be my friend.”
' There was a bold frankness in his
manner that I could not withstand. I ac
• cordingiy arose and equipped myself,
and we walked lo the house of a magis
trate, who sent word that he would be up
in a couple of hours.
“l!ut toll him,” said my companion to
the servant, “I want to see him on a mat
ter of life and death.”
“D i’s no use o’ dat,” grinned the slave;
“massa don’t care ’bout life and death till
he frit he sleep out.”
We left the house, but John Rox, as
he called himself, did not allude to his
pressing business n ore lhan to say,
“W ben we see the you’ll know all.”
We returned so breakfast, and I ob
served mv companion refused the mor
ning dram presented to him l;y the land
lord, and eat sparingly. Something wasev
idently preying on his mind, and I anx
ious y awaited the hour to hear it devel
oped.
The time Came, and we were admitted
to the presence of the dispenser of justice,
whew, s a man of wealth, good e-pints,
and rotundity of person.
“ Well,” said the Judge, “what’s the
matter ?”
“Why you see,” said Rox, “ day be
fore yesterday 1 staid at *C.’ all day, and
hadn’t a confounded cent, and as 1
wouldn’t chisel, I went without eating.
Yesterday morning 1 started off as bun.
gry as a panther, and as 1 rode along,
thinks I what am I to do? I’m above
cheating any man out of a dinner, but din
ner I must have. Just then u fellow came
riding along the road. 1 talked lo him
and tried to borrow, swearing to pay him
at such a place in a week , but the crit
ter told me he paid his way out of his own
pocket and he’d too little to divide.”
“ How much have yon got ?” says 1.
“Two fifty,” says he.
“Now,” thinks], “ that is too little to
divide.” So, while he was looking anoth
er way, I shoe's him through the head
and gin him as decent a burial as I could
under an old log, and took the two dollars
and a half. But it won’t do, mv con
science misgives me. Jam sorry for it,
and wish the lel'ovv and h.s money back
if he could only be alive; but between
you and J, as it’sioo lale for that, ! think
1 ought to be hung.”
The judge called his black boy, or
dered three pipes and tobacco, and wc
smoked in silence.
“Then you really think you ought to
be hung,” he asked with some compass
ion, as he whiffed a cloud of smoke to
wards the ceiling.
“1 do, in fact,” answered John, emitting
a similar volume of the same gas.
The judge smoked and considered
again.
There was gratitude in John’s eye, as
he answered,
“Think you, that’ll case my con
science.”
The judge knocked the ashes from his
pipe and spoke,
“Well, come bore in half an hour.
I’ll try to get a jury.
Rox and myself laying our pipes on the
table, were about leaving, when the
judge asked us to take a drink, which
having done, we bade him good morning.
In halfan hour we returned, when we
found twelve men smoking and drinking
with tlie magistrate, awaiting us. We
were politely requested to sit down.
“Now,” said Judge 1’ addressing
himself to Rox, “tell these gentlemen
what you have already fo'd me.”
Whereupon, Rox made the same state
ment.
“Now, gentlemen,” continued the first
speaker, “I wish you to say if this gen
t!cmm —Mr. Rox your name is—eh !
w ll—there’s some fine old brandy,
make yourself perfectly at home—whe
ther, gentlemen, you find John Rox guilty
of murder. In addition to what he lias
said, 1 have sent out and found the body
just as he has described. ’
The jury smoked, rose up, took a lit
tle brandy and water, and smoked again,
until at last one <>f them, who appeared
to be the fori man, said,
“The case is tolerably clear, and we
rather think he’s guilty.”
“There’s more tobacco on the table,”
said the judge to Rox, “the best you can
find any where —you’ve heard what these
gentlemen have said—w 11, 1 don’t like
to tell you in my own house but —”
“Let there be no hindrance,” replied
John, lighting his pipe.
“Well then,” said the j idge, “come
here at twelve o’clock to-morrow and IT.
have vou hung.”
John looked disconcerted, and appear
ed mortified at the idea of asking a favor.
“You have been so kind to me,” said
lie, “lhat 1 hardly dare ask you for any
think more.” .
“Not at all,” said the judge, “out with
it. you are welcome to it before you
ask.”
“Well.” said Rox, “to-morrow is my
ague dav, and the shakes come on at
eleven —if you would be so good as to
bang me at ten.” „
“With the greatest of pleasure, an
swered the good hearted judge, shaking
John’s hand, “ten let it be.”
Accordingly, John returned to the inn
r —paid up his bill—and the next morning
was hung as the clock struck ten

’ THE CHINESE DUCK.
On the lakts and rivers there are of
course many kinds of wild-ducks and oth
er waterfowl, in their natural and unre
_ claimed condition; and the manner in
which these are often captured is inge
r tiious, though well known. The sports
. men incase their heads in laige gourds or
calabashes, with holes for sight and res
piration: they then walk or swim deeply
in the water, so that nothing but the fruit
is seen above the surface; and the un
conscious ducks, accustomed to floating
1 *
and innocuous calabashes, approach them
without fear, and are respectively [mlled
under water, for the purpose of having
their necks wrung, and being fastened to
a poulterer’s girdle. On the banks of the
Yahg-tse-kiang, and along the shores of
the Po-yang-hou, during the progress of
Lord Amherst’s embassy, wild ducks and
geese occurred in large flocks on both the
lake and river, and were so tame lhat
they might be approached within a few
yards. If is well known that prodigious
numbers of tame ducks are kept in tin
vaiious provinces. The peasants hatch
the eggs in ovens or in Jung, and putting
the young ones into hoots carry them
clown to the sea shore a low water; and
as these boats keep company, there are
consequently several flocks of ducks, not
only near each oilier, bit frequently in
termingled, while searcling for shell fish
or other marine predictions. Yet no
sooner does the guardiai strike upon a
basin, than each flock flaps awav to its
own boat. Indeed, amrng the more sin
gular sights to be seen in the neighbor
hood o' Canton,particularly about Wham
poa, are the duck-boats, which not only
contain the aquatic bipeds, but a re used as
the dwellings of their owners. The ducks
inhabit the hold, while the keepers are
accommodated in the upper portion ofthe
vessel. These boats are very abundant
about the rice-fields near the river, just
after the harvest has been gathered in,
the birds at that period being able to gle; n
a plentiful supply of food. Each owner
moves about Bom place to place accord
ing to the favorable opportunities that
may offer for ike feeding of his broad
billed flock. “On the arrival of the boat,”
says Mr. Rennet, “at the appointed spot,
or oi.e considered proper for feeding the
quacking tribe, a signal of a whistle causes
the whole lo wa idle in regular order from
their domicile across the board placed for
their accommodation, and then rambling
about undergo the process of feeding.
When it is considered by their keeper
that they have gorged sufficiently, anoth
er signal is made for the return of the
birds; immediately they congregate and
re-enter the boat. J'he first duck is re
warded with some paddy, the rust is whip
ped for being dilatory; so that it is ludic
rous to see the last birds (knowing by sad
experience the fate that awaits them)
making efforts en masse to fly over the
hacks of the others, to escape the chas
tisement inflicted upon the ultimate duck.”

and Descriptive Account of China, Vol. 3.
The Gamester.— by Godwin.
No man who has not felt, can possibly
imagine lo himself the tortures of a game
ster; of a gamester like me who played
for the improvement of his fortune; who
played with the recollection of a wife and
children, dearer to him lhan the blood
that bubbled through the arteries of his
heart ; who might be said, like the sava
ges of ancient Germany, to make those
relations the stake for which he threw ;
who saw all my own happines and all
theirs, through the long vista of life, de
pending upon the turn of a card.
All bodily racks and tor nents are no
thing, compared with certain states of the
human mind. The gamester would he
the most pitiable, if he were not the most
despicable creature that existed. Ar
range ten bits of painted paper in a cer
tain order, and he is ready to go wild
with the extravagance of his joy. He is
only restrained by some remains ofshame,
from dancing about the room, and dis
playing the vileness of his spirit by every
son of freak and absurdity. At another
time his hopes have been gradually
worked up into paroxism, an unexpec
ted turn air.ves, and he is made the most
miserable of men. Never shall I cease
to remember the sensation 1 have re
peatedly felt, in the instantaneous sink
ing ofthe spirits, the conscious fire that
spread over my visage, the anger in my
eye, the burning dryness of rny throat,
the sentiment that in a moment was
ready to overwhelm with curses, the
cards, the stake, my own existence, and
all mankind.
How every malignant and insufferable
passion seemed to rush upon mv soul!
What nights of dreadful solitude and des
pair did 1 repeatedly pass during the pro
gress of my ruin ! It was the night of
ihesoul! My mind was wrapped inn
gloom that could not ho pierced ! My
heart was oppressed with a weight, that
no power human or divine, was equal to
remove! Mv eyelids seemed to press
down with an invincible burden ! My
eyeballs were ready to start and hurst
their sockets! i lay motionless, the vic
tim of inneffable horror! The whole
endless night seemed to he filled with one
vast, appalling, immoveable idea! It was
a stupor, more insupportable and tre
mendous, than the utmost whirl of pain
or the fiercest agony of exquisite pcrcep
, tion.
