Gambling.
Gambling is one of the wide-sprenU vitcs
?f the land. The rich the pi or and a
closes engage in it- 1> often happens t at
,1,0,6 who wear the finest clothing anu move
in best society, are the most inveterate tre(incnters
of the card talde. . .
Gambling generally begins by playing foi
amusement. First, they only play a social
game of cards, in that ?hey become deeply
intonated, and so keep practicing, and after
a wljlc II.' |

around the card tabl;, tiiey play lor hours

j successful. By tins time bo fce'.s that he
lms foun I a chance to accuuinlate a fortune.
But, uIhs ! things turn, lie ha? lost more
than he lias ever won. still he continues;
ho can't give il lip now. Like all other bid
habits, it is hard to get out of. When you
fut I n gambler you most always find a maa

lie docs not wish to be in what is
called moral or refined society. The barroom.

arc more congenial to him. lie slays from
home day and night for perhaps weeks,
months and longer, partly because he fears

v mo wish to be "tackled on or all >ut
his bid habits, now tlint they have a strong
hold on him. and lie has not sclf-contr.il
enough to withdraw from them.
My advice to th so who have never gamble
1 i?, never allow yourselves to bo enticed
to the sociable card table rr the gambling
room. l>i not indulge in tlie jirxi gla?s of
strong drink, for that is the glass that often
lend? to gambling 1!.c ^.unoier is in dau|
ger almost every where. If in the gam1 ling
I room he is in d inger, for it is a place m
! which excitement is easily aroused, and a'l
j moral and penal law is defied : nnd en the
streets he is in danger fiom his victim*. I
j once read of a young man of high standing
whose father was a wealthy merchant, and
lie the only son. lie married a fine lady ;
one that such a man was not worthy of.?
After his marriage his father gave him
twenty thousand dollars ; he began to gamble.
and s >on spent and gambled ;t away.?
lie had then to wander from place to , lace,
limbic to pay his debu. W'hi'e his neglected
and disgraced wife would ho about her
lab rious home duties, he would be off at
his profes?ioii(?) (Heaven save the mark)
trying to win perhaps, unsuspecting some
victim's money. At last lm was killed while
playing for a large sum. He left a heart,
broken wife and two children thrown upon
the charity of their friends. Oh, young men,
and o'd ones, too: if you regard your own
happiness nnd the happinc-s of your families
and friends, and the saving of your own

As has been said, one day of the cmven- ' <
