The Railway Trateler's Farewell to Hb
Family.
T'mi business call*4 the Father to tnvil by
the rail;
His eye was calm, bia hand was firm, although
bis cheek wag pala.
Ho look his little boy aad girl, and set them oa
bis knee,
Au 1 tbeir mother liung about bis neck, and her
tears flowed fast and free.
I'
I'm going by tbe Hail, my dears?Eliaa, lore,
don t cry?
Now, kiss me bolli before I leave, and wlah
pnpn good-by.
J hope 1 eball be back again, lliia afternoon, to
tea,
and then, I hope, alive and well, that your
papa you'll sec.
I'm going by the Rail, my dear*, where the engines
puif and hiss,
And ten to one the chanoea are that aomethiag
goes amiss,
And in an instant, quick as thought?before
you could cry "Ah!"
An accident occur*, and?say good-by to poor
paps!
Sometimes, from scandalous neglect, my dears,
the sleepers sink,
And then you have the carriages upset, as you
may think.
The progress of the train, sometimes, a truck
or coal-box checks,
And there's a risk of poor papa's and everybody's
necks.
Or there may be e sorew loose, a lieok, or bolt
or pin?
Or else an ill-mado tunnel msy give way, and
tumble in,
And in the wreck tbo passengers, and poor
papa remain
Confined, till down upon them oomes the next
Excursion train.
If a policeman's careless, dears, or if not overbright,
When he should show a red flag, it may-be he
shows a white,
Between tno trains in conssquence, there's
presently a crash,
If poor papa is only braised, he's lucky in the
smseh.
Points may bo badly managed, as they were the
other day,
ftccause a stingy Company, for bands enough
won't pay,
OvcrTlnd over goes the train?the engine off
the rail.
And poor papa's unable, when he's found, to tell
I the tale.
And should your poor papa escape, my darlings,
willi his life,
May ho return on tiro legs to his children and
his rrlfp?
With both his arms, my little dears, return
your fond embrace,
AhdsAturn to you, unaltered, erery feature of
f' " bis face.
I hope 1 slinll come back my denrs?but mind,
1 am insured?
So ia case the worst may happen, you are so fee
all secured.
An action then will alse lie for you and your
Matnmn?
And don't forget to bring it?on account of
your poor papa.
ADVENTURE IN A GAMING HOUSE.
It was in the Spring of 18?that I found mysolf
gliding upon the waters of the mighty
Mississippi, and hound for the Crescent City,
' New Orleans.
With a single exception, I had formed no
travelling acquaintances on board the boat, although
I had been nearly two days apsn my
journey, whioh was becoming somewhat monotonous.^
klhp individual with whom I, singularly
ftaternixed, eeemod, like myself, to
have bnt Utile inclination to extend his acquaintance
among the passengers, though he
iMliT^hfVr "j upon the lookout for
some one, and from the close manner in which
he tegarded the operations of two or three individuals,
whose profuse display of vest chains
and jewelry, and profioisncy with cards at the
tables in the saloon, betrayed their profession,
1 more than once set him down as some sort of
a police detective in disguise.
He called himself George Thorn, of Kentucky
} so his card read, whioh he gave me in
exchnngo for mine. In trnth he was a noble
specimen of the Due Grass State. Full six feet
lu height, a clear intelligent blue eye, broad
forehead, and light curly hair, muscular arms,
and the.chest of a Hercules, he challenged the
admiration of mors than one of the passengers,
as, with his serious and never smllimr f*M
paced tbo promenade deck, or sat apparently
buried in thought in the saloon.
'Did ycu ever play at cards V said I to him,
aa be led a group tbat were standing about a
table of four players, and noting the progress
of the game. I had frequently seen him in
Tiled, but be invariably, like myself, refused
to participate in the game.
<0h, yes, but where is the use of playing
hereJ tboso fellows (nodding towards the
players) can tell every card in the pack by the
hacks, and they are trying hard to plnck some
poor pigeon from among the passengers, bnt
with indifferent success ; beware of them, sir.'
I thanked him for his friendly warning, and
at the same time expressed my astonishment
at his affirmation. To convince me of the
traih of it, be called the steward of the boat,
and ordered him to bring him a fresh paok of
cards, which were brought, and he handed the
pack to me, bidding me to shuffle them. I did
so, when he immediately selected nearly every
ace and king from thejpack without looking at
the face of them. Next he dealt them in two
parcels, one to mo and one to himself, when,
npon examination, I fennd that the eards of
real value in the game were in his hand, and I
could not detect the least unfairness as he
dealt them.
You ate,' said he, smilingly, st my look of
astonishment, 'the advantage an expert in these
matters has over even n skilful player.'
'I do, indeed,' replied I, astonished at my
fellow traveller's dexterity, and beginning to
think he might be a reformed gambler, or
playing possum' for some purpose or other ;
but, as he did not nrge or even invite me to
play, nor had played with any one else, and
threw the cards aside with an ? ??i- 1
disgust too natural to be assumed, I came to
the conclusion that my suspicions vers unjust,
and my travelling acquaintance was n riddle '
yet to be solved. <
Early the next morning the beat arrived at '
New Orleans, and, amid the hurry and bustle '
of debarkation, I lest ay friend the Kontaek- 1
ian, not even seeing him to bid him adieu. '
That same evening, however, after visiting the 1
theatre, I was enjoying the oool sir and a fragrant
Havana, io the rotunda ef the St. Charles t
Hotel, and conversing with a friend from the o
North, whom 1 had fortunately met, whea I
whom should I encounter but my steamboat no- v
quaintance 1
After lb e usual greeting^ our conversation '1
turned upon sur trip <lo?u |he rivgr, our ftl- I
lew passengers, is., when J fcllsw Ir-iveller
remarked that if I would like to witness lbs t
Interior af a gambling bouse, or 'bsll,' as it is r
soma times more appropriate!/ callsd, ha would r
be plsased to show li te gs es spa sf tbs sights a
or 'liens' of the oil/. Never having witnessed ?
an/ thing of tbs kind, both I and mj friend ?
assented, and after a abort.walk, found aur- a
salves within (he precincts of ons of thoae j
glittering and gorgaensl/ furnished establish- 1
ments?vestibules to tbe infernal regions-?
where men are engaged in various games of J
osnru. fl
The ioterior of a gambling hodie hu been i
too frequently desonbed to need repetition, t
The Faro Dank with its crowd of betters, the 1
Rouge et Ifoir tth'.c with its anxious circle, sad 1
groups of players et other games of which 1 i
was ignorant of the name, were alt busily en- i
gaged as we entered. We had passed through I
two apartments, and reached a third, in which
were bat four players, playing Iq< pairs at
different tables. As we etolerwd, we sat down
at an unoccupied table fur a moment, when, t
as we did so, we heard one of the two men t
nearest us say to his opponeni?
That's the last dcllar; hick is yours, aad
I'm cleaned out.' -
'But you wear a good ring,' said his oppo
nent. 'See I I will give you a chance for renege.
I'll back my ring against yours oa the I
next game. It's a ring I won at play from a
Kentucky boy that came to New Orleans to sea
the sights,' said be carelessly. I
How little did he know those words, ao i
lightly spoken, had sealed bis doom. ]
No 1' said his opponent, rising, I'll meet I
yon to-morrow night. 1 won't pledge my i
jewelry yet.'
As the player, who was sitting with bis back i
partially tarned towards ns, mentioned Ken- I
tucky la his conversation, 1 saw Thorn listen I
with osgerness, and as ho twisted the ring he
offered to bet upon bis finger, I saw the Ken- t
tuoklan turn deadly pale. His eyes glowed t
like fire for an instant, then his countenance t
strain resumed its usual r?lm nnrl nUci.t ?
and, to our amatcment, he rose, mod walked '
across the apartment to the player, Who hod i
just been left by hie companion, courteously <
proposed to try a head or tyo with him If i
agreeable, and If wfe, hie Meads, would cxcuie \
him far a short time. Of eouree we assented <
so did the gambler, who appeared at first eomp- 1
what surprised at the proposition, but proh- i
ably resolved to try his sUUl upon the new <
comer.
The cards were dealt, aad the game pre- i
eeeded. We were aufflcietttly ndSi*Ho see that 1
the piece of gold whioh constituted the first i
stake was won by our friend's opponent, so, t
also, was the second. Ths third siahe Thorn I
gained. And thus they went en alternately t
winning and losing, till at last Thorn carelessly I
observed : 1
'That's a pretty ring you offered to bet, a
while ago, stranger. Will you sell it Tf I
Well, aa to that,' said the other, 'jt'e pretty '
enough, and cost me enough?for a young fei- I
low pledged it to me some three years ego aa a <
sort ef note of hand, which he promised to re- t
deem with five hundred dollars that he awed I
ms?a debt of honor, sir?but he never paid <
it, so 1 retain ths ring. No, stranger, I gueae *
I won't sell it.' 1
'But the owner f You should have made I
bim pay. Five hundred dollars is a dear price 1
for sueh a bauble.' 1
Why, as to that" said the player as he
gathered np his cards for the next hand, '^e '
couldn't come to Ume very well, tot 'he paid 1
the debt of nature,' aa they say, the same 1
night, and that cancelled my obligation. Ah !
the stake'a mine?there's luck in this ring, 1
sir, I believe,' said he, as he drew the money '
towards him, 'suppose we try a larger stake,'
and he prepared to shuffle the cards again. 1
'As you like,' said Thorn.
'Well, what shall it be V said his opponent, '
anything from one to five hundred f and be- 1
'threw a bank note of that denomination eart- '
leesly, as if in bravado, upon the table.
To our surprise Thorn draw.a wallet from
bis pocket, and produced an equal amount of '
money, then sweeping the cards they had beCn 1
using from the table to the floor, he called far
a fresh pack, and pasting them, as the atlea- (
dant brought them to him, rapidly through his
hand, be gave them to his adversary, remark- ]
ing to him as ha did so, to'mind his deal this
time,' fixing upon him a searchiag glance as '
he went through that operation. The game j
was that known as 'bluff,' or 'poker,' I know 1
not which, but at any rate oae on which the '
players bet upon the eards they hold. Thorn J
and bis oppontnt haring tack gUnced at thair ,
eards, eotnmenoed the game. -A*.
'I'll go yon one hundred,' said Thorn, commenoine.
'Two hundred better than that,' aaid hia opponent.
1
'Another hundred,' continued Thorn.
'n'm'ml three hundred better!' said the ,
gambler, producing the notes from bis poeket ,
book. 1
Three hundred more,' said Thorn, quietly. j
The game was getting exciting to us as spec- ,
tat ore. Three thousand dollars lay upon the
table te be deeided by the cards held by the 1
players, each of whom seemed from bis beta to
beoinfideatof success, though their countenances
betrayed not the least emotion. f
One hundred more, said the gambler, again.
I call yon,' said Thorn. (
'Ah I three king$'and an ate/' aaid the
sharper, triumphantly. ?
Twain a ens add a eiso !' said Thorn, '
quietly, as he displayed his own cards, and n
with his eyts fixed steadily upon his opponent t
folded up the money and and orammed it into
bis pocket. s
Fortune favors you,' said tbo gambler, stoically,
too well schooled to betray any emotion
>r chagrin at the result. '
'So it seems,' said the other. j|
But 1 hope to meet you again, sir, for I must 1
bare my revenge after so heavy a run of luck 11
u Ibis, rakl Thorn's opponent, <114 I have no
loubt yonr friends will join us in a social sit- m
lown, for if yon are as good at cracking a botle,
singing a song- or telling a story as boldng
a band at cards, those who are your friends li
,re fortunate.' w
I must confess,' said Thorn, 'that I am not K

ooaiionally tell a good story. 1 have a Hula ?

U wm bow loag paat midnight, absorbed ia
heexoitement of the game, we had scarcely
lolioed the flight of time, or that the adjoining
ooma were nearly deeerted by their eoeupanW,
,nd that the tero other player*, at the- other
nd of the apartment in which we were, had
inished their own game long since, end been
peotatore'of that between Thorn and hit op.
louent,' andTwere now apparent'jr Interested
istenera.
'About three years since,' began Thorn, 'e
owng man in Kentucky, the confidential
,gent of a large business Arm, was entrusted
rith a sum of moDey and commissioned to
ransact some business in New Orleans?it was

beats, or immediately upon hit nrrivalta
<ew Orleans, he felt in with a profeMlonal man
-a man of play, I mean?you understand?'
The gambler nodded, and Thorn continual:
By the mansgemet of this 'professional,'
he young man was enticed to a 'hell,' induced
o play, plied with wine, stripped of his money
?in short, to use a 'professional' word,
pinched'?' w
'Ha! ha ! tho old story,' said the gambler,
the fate of pigeons.'
'But I hare not finished, that which (post
interests jo? is yet to come.'
'Indeed 1 Qo on.'
'The young man was perfectly sobered by bis
oss ho returned to his hotelstung with rooaorse
and half crasy with excitement, he
plnced a pistol to his bead and blew out his
irains, leaving a tarnished name as an inleritance
for his wife and innocent child.'
'But what is all thin to me,' said the gambler,
iow pale as ashes beneath -the flashing eye of
he speaker; 'is it a moral lesson you're about
o read here, or a sermon you have to preach ?'
What is it to yon 1' eoolinued Thorn, his
roice quivering with excitement. 'Ah 1 I'll
ell you. This meeting of you and me lo-'nlght,

that the young man I apoke of rushed madly

for that deed of blood?the amount

/ov art hi* A?*a*iin/'\ , ,
Thorn pronounced those | words inw-firm,
ringing voice, and as he concluded, brought
bis hand down with a blow upon the tabla at
which tbey wore sitting, which was instantly
iverturned, as be and hia opponent started
timultaneously to their feet. They were
tcareely.aix paces apart after springing from
Iheir chairs, and both drew their weapons as
Lhey rose.
'Die I liar 1' shouted the gambler, discharging
his weapon tho moment he gained bis feet.
The bullet ripped open Thorn's waistcoat, and
bis watch flaw in fragments from (he pocket,
laagUog by Its chain , at the Mm* moment his
trm, which was slowly rising, became rigid as
that of a statue?the pistol he held exploded,
ind the gambler fell back a corpse upon jhe
Murpet. This all passed so suddenly ere we
could interfere, that we stood as^Ifalmos
paralysed for in instant, while the servants,
tlarmed by the noise, and the police, came
rushing into the apartment.
Thorn quietly surrendered himself, merely
turning to us and the other two who were in
the room, saying, as be did so, 'Qeatlemen,
bear witness, I fired in self defeoce, snd tbst I
received that villain's first fire here,' and he
pointed to his shalterod watoh with a smile,
ind turning, left the roo-a with the officers.
He was tried and acquitted, as it wss clearly
proved that his adversary fired upon him first.
The fact of the gambler being a notorious
rascal, whom the community could well afford
:o spare, might have had some influence with
the jury.
I have never met Thorn since, but the recollection
of that fearful scene is yet fresh snd
rivid in my mind, though many yeaas havo
parsed since it was enacted.
