My Methodist friend was especially indignant, and believed it would be a good plan to hang every gainbier. As soon as the true character was discovered I agreed with him entirely. One young man from Cincinnati was particularly distressed in the sudden disappearance of the blackleg, for he had, unlllT fllM illlllixiwo of ....l-.o.. ..?* i J V. Mil vuniwrtv; ill UlilllUV, staked ami lost a halt' eagle, which his mother had given him just before her death. It was not the money that distressed him, for he had plenty of that, but it was the associations connected with the coin itself. | There was a history belonging to it, he | said, lie would give the gambler double j the value of it, if he would return it, with a little ring attached to it. That evening, to the disappointment of all on board, who were prepared to deal with him in a summary uvnner, the black- ,j leg did not appear. Man or devil, he had l tlie means of knowing of the indignation his acts had caused. There was a strange mystery about him. 10very part of the steamer was searched in vain for him.? And il seemed certain that he could not have pone ashore. The next day I was talking with the Rev. Mr. (jlojiisles, not about the gambler, but | on general topics. Of course, his life, as ! ^ an itinerant, was full of interest to me. Me | ' told me chiollv how he lived and travelled i from place to place ; that he was often bun- I grv, and never had more than ten dollars at . n once. " I hive only five now," lie said; and to j verily liis statement, lie took from his pock- | ct a half eagle. | 1 glanced at it. There was a hole in it, j with & ring attached !
