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 get the time when we wasn't mucH. lt, vi just so with the frog on the jump ; he kan't remember when he was a tadpole -but other folks kan,'' " Yon night de oder day, ven I vns been avake in my shleep, I hears som tings vat 1 tinks vas not jus right in my barn, und I ust out shumps to bed, und run mit te barn out, und ven I vas dere coom I sees dat my big gray iro'i mare, he .vas been tied fuse and runs mit te stable off, and every pody who vii him back bring I ust t>o much pay him a9 vot bia customary," 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- ] Cation of Trebizond vas "sb great thal j he government was obliged to Hasten ' he execution, and aftei a summary 'trial * he culprit was taken into the public i, 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. 10,000 Yards WHITE GOOD 5 KEDXJCED Consisting of PLAID SWISS, PLAIN JACONET SATIN STRIPE SWISS, PLAID JAGONET, TLAIN SWISS STRIPE JACONET,. 5-1 SOFT FINISn CAMBRIC, NAINSOOKS .
