Better than Gold.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
Of tho sons of toll when their labors close;
Better than gold is the poor man's sleep,
And the balm that.drops on his slumbera deep.
Bring sleeping draughts to the downy bed
Where luxury pillows his aching head ;
His simple opiate labor deems
A shorter road to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is a thinking mind,
That in tho realms-of books can lind
A treasure surjja>siug Australian ore,
And live with the great aud good of yore. *
The sage's lore and tho poet's lay,
The glories of empire pass away.
The world's great drama will thus enfold,
And yield a pleasure better than gold.
Better than.gold is a peaceful home,
Where all tho fireside charities coma ;
The shrine of love, the beaven of life,
Hallowed by mother or sister or wrfe: .
However humble the home* may be,
Or tried with sorrow by Heaven's decree,
The blossings that never wore bought or sold,
And centre thcro are botter than gold.
THE FATAL CARD*
SOME years ago the Mississippi River
was famous for its "floating palaces,"
as the large steamers plying between
New-Orleans and the potts above vere
called. Those' fine boats, were, in many
ways delightful ; but they never ceased
to be objects of dread to timid people,
for there \\ as sure to be one or more en
counters, between the more lawless por
tion of the travellers, in which pistol
but lets would fly rather too thick for the
comfort of a steady-going people. The
cause of such disturbances was generally
a quarrel over the gaming table. The
regulation of the boats usually required
that all such amusements should be con
ducted in a saldan provided for thal pur
pose in thc officer's cabin, situated on the
hurricane deck ; but thc sporting gentle
men where by no mean? careful to ob
serve this rule, and the gaming was most
commonly carried on at the draing table,
in thc main saloon of the steamer, to the
great annoyance of two-thirds of chose
on hoard.
Many professional gamblers used to
make these bftats their homes, traveling
to and fro with, them, fleecing all who
were foolish enough to fall in their clutch
es. So well, indeed, was the system
managed, that the^various members seem
ed to have their different steamers marked
out for them by common consent, so that
no one would trespass upon the domain
of the other. Of course these men were
warm friends of the officers of the boat,
who were too sincere iii their friendship,
to put a stop to the practice, or too much
afraid of the gamblers to care to provoke
a quarrel with them ; for in those days it
was a common affair for such men to rr-'
sent any fancied insult with a pistol shot.
One of thc most remarKable men of
this class was named Daniel Sturdivant,
a Frenchman, the son of a broken-down
scion of nobility, who had settled in New
Orleans before the transfer of Louisiana
to thc United States. ^ Sturdivant had
been reared a gentleman by his father ;
but on coming of age, and finding his for
tunes very bad. had taker: to cards as a
means to better them. His success in
this field was so great that he was induced
to continue it. until at the time of which I
write he was one of the most notorious
gamblers between St. Louis and New
Orleans.
Ile was a man of fine personal appear
ance, and of great physical strength. Ile
was also noted for his personal courage.
As a gambler he was most expert and
successful. ; There were dark. stories of
deeds which he had committed while un
der the influence of play and liquor; and
it was said by sonic that he had killed half
.o-dozen men in his lifetime. Yet no one
dared to speak those stories openly, for
no one dared to bring upon himself the
anger of such a man.
About fifteen years ago, the time of
which I write, he had attached himself to
one of the magnificent steamers- plying
between New-Orleans and Vicksburg,
and had publicly announced to shoot any
man who encroached .upori his scene of
operations. Of course this left him un
disputed possession of the field ; and he
reaped a goldeii harvest during the one
brief year he conducted his operations
thet*.
It was my lot at the time to be compell
ed to make frequent trips between New
Orleans and Vicksburg, being heavily en
gaged in cotton speculations. I preferred
the steamer of which Sturdivant had ta
ken possession, inasmuch as it was not
only the most comfortable, but also the
swiftest, and time was of the utmost im
portance . to me. It was known that I
carried large sums of money, and I was
also apprehensive lest Sturdivant should
ask me to piay.
I had fill ly made up rny mind to refuse
him, and if he attempted to draw mc
into & quarrel, to shoot him without mer
cy, as f knew that the only chance foi
my life lay in getting the advantage of
him. Strange Lo say he did not make
any such'proposition to me ; and I gave
him no chance to do so.
Ono night we had started out from
Vicksburg, and were heading merrily
down the river, when Sturdivant'came
up to the group which had gathered
around the stove. He had been drink
ing, and was smoking a fine cigar as lie
approached. All made way for him.
II Well, gentlemen," he said, in an un
steady tone, "you seem to bc terribly
dull. Who wants to play for twenty
dollars?" '
There was no reply. All present
seemed to know the man, and no one
cared to . volunteer to place himself in
Iris clutches.
" I'mph !" he exclatmod. with*an ex
pression of contempt; "afraid to try
your luck with Dan Sturdivant, eh ? Or
may be you want a little coaxing. Some
?ii' you must play with me. I can't stand
such treatment. Come, let's see who it
shall bc.*'
He glanced around tlie crowd as if to
select his victim. For the first time, I
noticed thc gaze of one of the group fixed
/steadily.upon him. He was a stranger
.to me, and was dressed in a plain suit of.
homespun ; and his face was partially
concealed by a broad-brimmed sombrero,
which was drawn down over it. He was
a small, but powerfully made man ; and
In the decided expression of his w??l
sbapad bead I read an' unusual 'firmness
?nd intensity of purpose.
" Are you Daniel Sturdivant, the gam
bler?" he asked, in a-calm tone, without
rising.
Sturdivant flushed darkly and gave the
stranger a keen glance.
'OSyme persona call me so behind my
back," he said, insolently; "but no one
would care to -pply that term to me be
fore my face."
" Nevertheless," said the stranger, qui
etly,. " I want an answer-r-yjes pr no?"
" Well, then, I am," said the gaojbjer,
angrily, '"and what of it?"
"Simply this," replied the stranger^
" I have heard it said that you claim to
ie the beet C?rd?pl*yer io the South-1
West. I.have come two hundred miles
to prove .you a liar."
Sturdivant strode forward a step or
two, and thrust his hand into his breast,
as if to grasp a weapon.
"Stop!" said the stranger. " If you
shoot rne, you will simply prove your
self afraid of me. .Take your seat at
the table, and I will soon make mv words
good."
There was something in thc calm, stern
manner of the stranger that seemed :to
render the gambler powerless. He hesi
tated a moment, and then said, bullying
ly, " I never play with a man whose face
I cannot see."
" Never mind my face," 9aid the stran
ger ; M if you are not afraid of losing, you
ahull see it when I have done with you."
" But how do I know that you have
money for such sport?" persisted Sturdi
vant. " You look seedy enough, my fine
fellow."
" There !" said the stranger, producing
a roll of bank-notes; "I have ten thou
sand dollars there. If you can win it
you shall do so."
With an oath, Sturdivant placed him
self at the table, and bade his challenger
to do likewise.
Those of us who had listened to this
singular dialogue now gathered around
the table, expecting to behold a scene of
more than usual interest The ?tranger
had not raised his hat-brim, and none o?
us had seen his face, but we all felt, from
his general air and manner, that Danit'
Sturdivant had at last met his match. .
It tl id not take long to show us that
thc stranger was an unusually good play
er. For an hour or more the playing
went on in silence. The stakes were
high, and the oontcst marked with rare
skill. Sturdivant exerted himself as he.
had never done before ; but in spite of
all his efforts, he lost steadily. By the
expiration of the time indicated above,
he had lost over two thousand dollars. I
noticed thc Mush upon his face deepen,
and a strange light come into his eyes.
At last, with an exclamation of tri
umph, he drew towards ..him- the heap-of
notes.
"That was well done," said the stran
ger. " You arc an expert in cheating.
But go on ; lean beat you whether you
play openly or dishonestly."
Sturdivant said nothing, but dealt the
cards again. The hand was played, and
Sturdivant was about to seize the stakes
again, when the stranger laid down a card
and checked him.
The gambler uttered a sharp cry and
sat motionless, with his eyes fixed on thc
card, a worn and faded ace of hearts,
with a dark stain across the face. Stur.
divant's features worked convulsively as
he gazed at it ; and the spectators gath
ered more closely around the two. won
dering at the strange scene.
"In God's name, who are you ?" nsk'ed
Sturdivant, with his eyes still fixed on
the card.
,; Look at me," said the stranger,.quiet
ly/ -
As if powerless to resist, Sturdivant
raised this eyes to the speaker.
The- stranger raised his hat and sat
looking at the trembling man, with eyes
which blazed with fury. Sturdivant ut
tered a groan and sank baok in his chair,
with his lace white and rigid. The-stran
ger with one sweep gathered up the raou
ey from the table, and thrust it in his
bosom.
"The ace of hearts is an unlucky card
for you, Daniel Sturdivant," he said,
coolly; "you played it once when you
thought it to your advantage. Now,
beaven help you, for that play is return?
ed."
As he spoke, he raised a pistol which
we had not seen, and before we could
stop him, aimed deliberately at the trem
bling man,?and hied. The gambler fell
heavily upon the table, a corpse-and
the bright blood streamed over it, hiding
the fatal card from sight.
" Gentleman," said the stranger, rising
to his feet as we stood paralyzed with
horror at the dreadful scene, " that man
ruined my wife, and tried to murder mc.
I have been hunting him for ten years."
Ile walked slowly by us down the.
stairway to the lower deck. Just as the
steamer touched at the landing, he sprang
ashore and vanished in the dark woods.
I never learned the history of the mys
terious affair, for the dead gambler was
beyond all human questioning; and .1
never'saw thc stranger again; but 1 shall
never forget the impression it made upon
me at thc time.
Live Within Your Means,
We don't like stinginess. We don't
like economy when it comes down to
ra<is and starvation. We have no sym
pathy with thc notion that a poor man
should hitch himself to a post and stand
still, while the rest, of the world 'moves
forward. It is no man's ditty to deny
himself every amusement, every luxury,
every recreation, every comfort, that he
may get rich. It is no man's duty to
make an iceberg of himself, to,shut his
eyes and ears to thc sufferings of his fel
lows, and to deny himself thc enjoyment
that results from generous actions, mere
ly that he may hoard wealth for his heirs
to quarrel about. But. there is an econo
my which is every map's duty, and which
is especially-commendable in inc man
who struggles with poverty-an economy
which is consistent with happiness, and
which must be practiced if the, poor man
would secure independence. It is almost
every man's privilege, and it becomes his
duty to live within his means; not to,
but within them. Wealth does not make
the man we admit, and should never bc
taken into the account of our judgment
of men; but competence should always
be secured when it can be "by practice of
economy and self-denial to only a tolera
ble extent. It should be secured not so
much for others to look upon, or to raise
us in the estimation of others, as to se
cure the consciousness of independence,
and the constant satisfaction which is de
rived from its acquirement and posses
sion.
Ax'Irishman a short time in this coun
try, was eating boiled green corn. After
eating off all the corn he passed the cob
back to the lady who sat at the head of
the table, saying, " Would you piase be
so kino ns tQ pitt some more beans on
tho stick ?"
Josh Billings correctly remarks: "Suc
cess in. life iz very apt tew make us for

vi just so with the frog on the jump ; he
kan't remember when he was a tadpole
-but other folks kan,''

A Fearful Story of Murder and
Revenge.
A shocking story of brutal murder
ind swift lawless punishment, among t
)arty of miners travelling on foot ovei
,he Rocky Mountains to the Sweetwater
nines, is reported in one of our Westen
?changes. Hess, a Frenchman, ant
Armstrong, a Nova Scotian, had quat
.elled, but apparently became reconciled
tvhen Armstrong reopened the disagree
ment, and threatened Hess for takuij
jome of his. tobacco. During that daj
the party entered a dangerous and didi
cult canon, through which they \voun<
along a narrow ledge of rock, severn
hundred feet above the bed of the stream
which ran along at the foot of thatfearfu
precipice.
At the point of the greatest danger
where the party had to travel in singl
file, and several yards apart, Armstroiij
watched his opportunity to dodge behm
a ledge of rock unobserved, and thus fal
behind the others. Hess was the firs
man in the file. As he drew near th
place where Armstrong was secreted, th
latter stepped forth and followed his core
panions without seeming to notice hire
Presently he knelt down as though to ti
his shoe, and Hess.' unable to pars, stop
ped within a few feet of him. The nex
moment, turning about to pick up hi
bundle, which had been thrown asid
upon the ground, by a sudden change c
movement he seized the unsuspectiiij
Frenchman and hurled him over the etlg
of the terrible abyss.
Some twenty or thirty feet down fron
the face of the precipice the wretchet
man lodged in the. branches of a scragg;
hemlock troc, which grew out of acrevic
in thc rocky wa!!, and might from ihenc
have been rescued if assistance had beei
nigh. But there was none. How.tb
murderer could summon thc hardihoot
to stoop down and watch the fall pf hi
victim, fron) the dizzy height we carmo
imagine. Yet Armstrong did look dowi
the cliff, perhaps to assure himself thu
his murderous work was well done, ant
saw poor Hess still.desperately maintain
mg his hold upon life, instead of lying ?
shapeless mass at the bottom of the canon
The fiendish spirit manifested itself stil
further. He got fragments of rock ant
cast them down upon thc poor man unti
his lifeless body toppled over the yawn
ing abyss below ; then Armstrong aro?
and pursued his journey.
The whole aot was seen front a distano
by another of the party, who was apar
.hunting for game ; and after they had go
into camp at night he told the story, whet
Armstrong was seized and charged wi tl
the murder, and he did not deny it. A
part of the company were in favor o
taking him with them through to the set
tlements to be tried by the civil anthon
ties, but the majority wore determined t(
allow ihe murderer no chance for escape,
and so about an hour before midnigh
Armstrong was conducted to thc top o
a clilf which rose like a wall to thc hcighi
of one hundred and eighty or two hun
dred feet, half a mile in 'he rear of thc
camp. Having bound his hands and feet
they cast him over into the black abyss
out of which no cry returned.
Adventures of a ?ressiug Gown.
A lady was anxious to make her hus
band a present on thc occasion of his
birthday, and it happening to fall in thc
winter she thought a dressing gown would
be a most useful acquisition to his do
mestic comforts. So she went and pur
chased a fine Persian pattern, one well
wadded. Not remembering the exact
height of her husband, she thought it best
to purchase one rather too long, than two
short, to make sure of its usefulness.
Tho day was wet, her husband returned
in the afternoon, and she presented him
with a new article of comfort; and he
fancied it indeed a great comfort after he
had put off his wcC garments. But it
was about ten inches too long.
" Oh ! never mind," said -the affection
ate wife, " ? can easily shorten it to suit
you."
They had a party in the evening, and
were very merry ; and every one admired
the beautiful dressing gown. After they
had gone to bed thc wind and rain made
such a noise that the wife could not sleep;
her husband, however, snored musically.
She arose without disturbing him-took
the dressing gown and commenced her
work, cutting'ofl' about the length of ten
inches to make il suit her husband's stat
ure and then went to bcd again. In the
morning she was np early to some ar
rangements willi the house-keeper, as
several friends were expected to ?dinner
that day. Scarcely had the lady left the
room, when her sister-a good natured
old lady who lived with them- stepped
in on tip-toe, in order not to disturb the
side pe-, took thc dressing gown, and has
tened to her own room, ont off about ten
inches, as she knew it was too long the
night before. An hour after, thc gentle
man a'voke, and was now anxious to sur
prise his affectionate " wife. Hinging for
the servant, he was told to take the dress
ing gown to the .tailor and have it made
shorter by ten inches. The good wife
was detained longer .than she expected ;
and scarcely had the dressing gown re
turned from the tailor's, w hen she came
in the room. Her husband had just risen,
and proposed now to surprise his wife
and enjoy his comfort. But how surprised
was his better-lia)f to sec licr3iusb'and in
ii fine Persian pattern shooting jacket in
stead of a comfortable dressing gown !
THE VICTIMS OF A' MANIAC.-A horri
ble incident recently occurred in the City
jf Trebizond, Turkey. In the space of
i few minnies seventeen victims fell un
der the knife of a madman, each victim
receiving but a single wound, which in
ill cases was aimed at thc heart. The
assassin commenced his butcheries at
sight o'clock in (he morning, armed with
i knife sharpened on two edges, the blade
>f which was about six or seven inches
n length. Having fastened thc knife to
lis hand with a cord, keeping the blade
leneaih ins arm, thus prepared he com
nenoed walking slowly up the street;
;eizing his opportunity to stab every one
yhoul he found within his reach, and
quickly concealing his weapon after each
nurderous blow, left his surprised vic
ims totally unconscious of thc hand that
Icalt their death wound, and unable to :
lenonnce the assassin. An end was finally
>Ut tq the bloody work by a baker, who
iucoeeded in felling tue assassin to the
:arth with a well aimed blow from a
?er.vy stick of wood, when he was im- ,
nediately seized, disarmed and handed
>ver to the authorities. Thc excitement '
md horror created amo.ig the ..mliro pop- ]

quare and beheaded in the presence of t
he whole population of the city.
AN UNGRATEFUL WIFE.-Mr. Patrick g
)'Flaherty said that his wife was very r
ingrateful, for " whin I married her she
ladn't a iag to put on her back, but now
he is covered with 'em."
Who are Masons.
At a late Masonic celebration, the Rev.
lr. Alger declared that four qualifica
ions were indispensible for a good Mason,
first, he must be no scoffer, but a man
if a reverential spirit; second, he must
>e no dry poser, but a man of a living
imagination; third, he must be no bigot,
)ut a man of liberal mind ; fourth, he
nust be no selfish worldling, but a man
>f a generous -heart. Whether genuine
Christian mon, consistent American citi
jens, have reason to fear and oppose Ma
sonry, or to trust and befriend it, the
speaker thought would appear clearly
snough from a glimpse at the chief char
acteristics impersonated in its worthy
disciples. These characteristics he illus
trated with some detail under four heads.
First,, every true Mason is a pilgrim in
search of light, traveling toward the goal
of his destiny. Secondly, every true
Mason is a warrior, fighting for innocence
and charity against every form of evil.
Thirdly, every true Mason is a patiiot,
bound to love and serve his native land,
pledged to rayere her laws and promote
her weal.. Fourthly, every true Mason
is a spiritual architect, required to build
an indestructible house Oi charaoter out
of "the rude material of his being. Under
the rough outworks the moral edifice goes
up, little by little, until it is complete.
Then death tears off thc scntTolding of
flesh and bones, and tho pure temple, not
made with hands, mounts to God.
A Radical paper says .thc niggeis in
the Alabama convention were in excel
lent spirits," and closed their service? by
singing, <: We're goin to.Hebin a relin an
a rock i ii." That's pretty much the way
Grant coes to bed.

a YEAST OR BAKING POWDER, that will
always give satisfaction and NEVER FAIL.
You can got this by asking your Grocer for
Drew's Infallible Baking Powder.
Not like the ordinary Hop Yeast, which has to
he put in the Flour, and Lakes all night to Raise
it, but with DREW'S INFALLIBLE BAKING
POWDER, you can put it right in your Flour,
and FIFTEEN MINUTE'S time is all that is required
to make delicious Tea, Batter and Buckwheat
Cakes, Corn-bread, Biscuit and every description
of Pastry. While this Baking Powder not only
is the cheapest, it is also the BEST and HEAL
THIEST preparation of the kind ever mode for
Culinary purposes, and cannot be excelled in
quality by any other Manufacturers.- in this coun
try or elsewhere.
The Eating of Hot Bread or Biscuits made
with this preparation, causes no flatulence, or
other injurious effects, and is particularly recom
mended to Dyspeptics. It is made from a vege
table preparation of perfect purity, and of Snowy
Whitene-s.
More Bread of tho finest quality can be made
from a Barrel of Flour, by using this Baking
Powder than by any other process yet known.
