Gambling is one of the widespread vises | #f the land. The rich, the poor and all classes engage in it. It often happens that those who wear the finest clothing anu mote | in best society, are the mast inveterate frequenters of the card table. Gambliug generally begins by playing for amusement. First, they only play a social I game of cards, in that they become deeply interested, and so keep practicing, and afier ? while they play for little tbiogs, such as r-i-'-n' t-' -y ?V-won* r'varoVevafUS. ute. wD'.??'?^T>lay again, The loser thinks he must try again, to aee if luck will n^t change. So, with his associates congregated around the card table, they play for hours before retiring. He feels now that he can play safely, s? he plays again, and is again successful. By this time he feols that he has foun t a chance to accumulate a fortune. But, alas! things turn. He has lost more than ho lias ever won. still he continues; ho can't givs it up now. Like all other bad habits, it is hard to get out of. Wliea you find a gambler you most always find a man that occasionally or constantly drinks in- ; toxical ng 1 quors to excess, disgustingly profanes God's holy name, and cares little er lotlrng for God, His church or the serviocs lcld therein. Ho has little rospcct for Sun- j lay. Ho does not wish to be in what is ailed moral or reQned society. The bar- i dom, gambling hell, and debased society, rb mere congenial to him. lie slays from isne day and night for perhaps weeks, C ldfcths and longer, partly because ho fears ? is hi other, sister or neglected wife would . sfc 'oVa-aSSr f is bad habit*, now that they have a strong ^ old on him, and he has not aclf-ooutrol () tough to withdraw from them. ^ My advice to th^se who have never gain- o) oJ is, never ollow yourselves to be enticed ^ i the sociable card table or tbe gambling ( torn. Do not indulge iu the firxt glass of ^ rung driuk, for that is tbe glass that often w ails to gambling, lhe gambler is in danir almost every where. If in the gambling nm lie is in danger, for it ia a place in ^ liich excitement is easily aroused, and all oral and penal law is defied ; and on the W( recta he is in danger from his victims. ] ce read of a young man of high standing ||(j xiao father was a wealthy merchant, ami ill* only eon.
