An Ameiican gentleman, who was so passionately fond of backgammon, that, even to be a spectator of it, much interested him, happened to be surveying a game in which one of the players showed an evident inferiority
to the other. As the game proceeded, he was;
wrought up to a pitch of perfect fury at the bad play of this individual, who on the other band, maintained, under all his reverses, a
coolness perfectly admirable. "Can you bear that?" cried the American at every hit made by the good player. " Why not?"' said the cJicr with perfect indifference. At last, on the good player gaining an advantage of a particularly brilliant nature, " Can you really besr that?" exclaimed the American. Whv not?"' drawled out the loser, with his usual philosophical coolness. " Well," cried the American, "if you can, I cannot ;" and veiziiig the board, he threw the whole, dice, Kien, and every thing, into the fire. M ilri mntxiiU FtHcih. In the Legislature
