Thackeray on Cliri*trna8,
The play is done-the curtain drope.
blow filling at the prompter's bell ;
A moment yet the actor stops.
And looks around to say farewell.
It is an irksome word an! task;
. And, when be'3 lammed and said his say,
"iHe shows, as he remove* the mask,
A face that's anything but gay.
One word, ero yet tho evening ends
Let's close it with a parting rhyme;
And pledge a han,! to all youug friends,
As Ats a merry Christmas lime;
Cn life's wide-soene you. too. have parts,
1 bat fate ere long shall bid you play ;
Good-night 1-with honest gentle hearts
A kindly greeting go alway!
Good-night 1-I'd say inc griefs, the joys,
Just hinted in this mimic page.
The triumphs aud defea s of boys.
Are but rep ated in our age;
I'd say your woes were not less keen,
Your'hopes more vaiu, than those of men
Your pangs or pleasures of fifteen
At forty-five played o'er again.
I'd say we suffer and we strive
Not less nor more as men than boys
With grizzled beards at forty-five.
As erst at twelve in corduroys;
And if. in time of sacred youth,
"We learned at home to love and pray,
Fray heaven that eariy lovo and truth
May never wholly pass away.
And in the world; as in tho school,
I'd say how fate may change and shift
Tho prize be sometimes with the fool,
The race nt?t, always to the swill;
The strong may yield, the good may fill,
The great man be a vulgar clown,
The knave be Ulled over all,
The kind cast pitilessly down.
Who knows the inscrutable design ?
Blessed bo He who took and y ave 1
Why should your mother. Charlea, not mino,
Be weeping at ber darling's grave ?
We bow to heaven that willed it so,
That darkly rules the fate of all,
That ?ends the respite or the blow,
That's free to give or to recall.
This Crowns his feast with wino and wit
Who brought him to that mirth and state?
His betters, see, below bim sit,
Or hunter hopeless at thc gate.
Who bade the mud Bom Dive's wheel
" To spurn tho rags of Lazarus?
Come, brother, in that dust we'll kneel,
Conics sir g beaven that ruled lt thus.
5 o each shall mourn, in life's advance,
Dear hopes, dear friends, untimely killed
fc hall (?neve lor many a forfeit chance,
And longing passion unfulfilled.
Amen 1-whatever fate be sent,
Pray God the heart may kindly glow,
Although the head with cares be bent,
And whitened with the Winter snow;, '
Come wealth or want, come good or Bl,
Let young or old accept their part.
And bow beiore the awful will, - ?
And bear it with an honest heart.
Who misses, or who wins the prize
Go, lose or conquer as you can;
But if yon fail, or if you rise.
Be each, pray God, a gentleman.

THE HAVANA LOTTERY.
How lt U O po rated-Enormous Profits
Demoralizing Tendency of thc Institu?
tion. ?
A Havana correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce writes :
' Probably most of your readers who have
been in this city, and many who have "not,
know something of the Havana Lottery, but a
brief description of tho modus operandi may
not be amiss. It is an old institution, from
which the government hos long derived a con?
siderable revenue. At present the drawings
are held ever; seventeen days, and the scheme
is as follows :' For each drawing there are is?
sued by- the government 26,000 tickets, at $20
each, amounting in tho aggregate to $520,000,
of which snm seventy-five per cent, is distrib?
uted in priies. Ihe tickets are printed in
fraction?, having on them the consecutive num?
bers from one to 26,000. The prizes are-one
of $100.000; one of $50.000; one of $20,000: one
of $10,000; twp of $5000; twenty-four of $1000;
-"""?fifty-eight of '$500; one hundred and two ot
$400, and two hundred and twenty-five of $250.
There are, besides,-approximation prices, as
follows: The ninety-nine remaining num?
bers of the hundred in which the highest prize
faces are each entitled lo $200 (for exam?
ple, if number 12.564 grains the $100,000, tko
numbers from 12,504 to 12,600 each gain $230) ;
in the same manner there are riinety-nia* ap?
proximation prizes of $150 to the one of $50,
000, and ninety-nine of $100 to the $20,000, and
twenty-seven approximation of $200 each to the
remaining number of tho tens in which the
.prize of $10,000 and the two of $5000 fall, lb"?"
_ " r?"prui5e, amotBitlii* to $390,000.
The tickets are bought by fue billeteros or
street venders from the office at $20 and retail
fed at $2125. A considerable number bf men
and women, probably two or three hundred,
thus gain a living in this city, where they are
to be seen in all the principal thoroughfares,
cafes, and other places of resort, as also in all
the cities of the island. . Tho day before the
drawing they are especially importunate in
their solicitations, nourishing their tickets,
and rShouting lustily "Le juega manana.!"
(played to-morrow.) " *
The drawings are held publicly in the court
of the treasury building, and aro superintend?
ed by several officers ol'the government. In
a large globe (having a shoing door big
enough to admit a man's arm) are placed 26,
OOu bits of ivory of tho size ot a dime, hr.viug
on them the consecutivo numbers from uno to
twenty-six thousand. In a smaller globe are
placed similar bits of i^ory having on them
the various prizes from $100,000 down. Atter
the globes have been revolved and the bits of
ivory well shaken, two small boys (from tho
orphan asylum) perform the dr?wiug. One
bey inserts his h\nd into tho largo globe and
takes out A number which he exhibits to the
inspectors and then calls out. At tho same
time the other boy draws from the other
-globe a prize which Yxj also exhibits to
- the inspectors, and calls -mt. A man who
"stands in readiness writes ok a blackboard,
placed in view of the spectators,x>aacli number
and prize as they are called. And so-tho draw
j mg is continued until all the prizss are <lrawn
from the smaller globe. To a physiognomist
it affords no little amusement'to watch r>e :
crowd of eager expectants, and the boys them- -
solves so mechanically and indifferently uLM vi?
and call out numbers and prizes iu their shrill
tenor. 1res mil ?tos cientos cienteocko ! pipes
one; Cuatro cientos pesos ? responds tho other;
and instantly ou the blackboard is written No.
3228-$400-and so on to the end.
I have never heard any fraud charged, and
do not think that any exists in tho manage?
ment of the lottery. The best evidence of tnis
is that the large prizes often fall to persons
who could not, by any possibility, be in collu?
sion with the managers; and the fact that gov?
ernment officials, merchants and others, who
would soon detect fraud if tbtre were auv,
constantly buy the tickets.
I have heard some curious incidents rotated
of tho lottery. A commercial house of this city
? -had subscribed for several years for a whole
ticIt??^of a certain number. At length they
becamo^uroived, and having to pay suddeniy
about $S0,?ce-^were unub'o to commaud the
amount. The tiny before the drawing the
..ticket seller went as- uaual to their counting
i room with the ticket. Or?e of tho partners told
"Mm to go and sell it to nome one else-that
tb^vould not tike, it any longer. He did so,
??? ne?t m<>T>n2 tUa.t ticket drew
$100,000, bml the houso failed.

tery may be regarded as ono of the woivSn^'-'Z
of raising revenue. The teadoncv is dcm o3?s
izing, and is particularly injurious to th"
groes, Lbmo8e, am other poor ptODle. ?iv an w
easy calculation it will bc found that the bold?
er of a ticket, or fraction of one, bas but one
chauce in thirty-five of gaining anything. It is
true that by this means a few are made inde?
pendent, but many poor persona speud all their
earning in vain, and aro kept in penury by pay?
ing constantly for thebare possibility of gam?
ine fortunes.
The existenco of tho lottery is, no doubt, one
great cause of the squalid poverty BO common
m Havana.
BOILS-"A COMPOSITION."
A boil ia generally very Bmali at first, and a
fellow hardly notices it, but in a few days it
gets to be the biggest of the two. and tho chap
that has it is of very little account in compari?
son with his boil, which then :'has him." Boils
appear mysteriously upon various portions of
tho human body, coming when and wboro
"they daru please,'' and oiten in very incon?
venient placo?. Sometimos a solitary boil i3
the sum total of the'afnictiou, but frequently
there is a "rubishin' lot of em" to hcip the firet.
one. If a boil comes anywhere on a person that
person always- wishes it h?id como somewhere
else, although it would puzzle bim to tay just
where. ' . .
Some persons call'them "Damboils," but
such persons aro addicted to profan?v-thc
proper name is boil. If a chap has a boil he
generally pois a good deal of sympathy from
others-"in a horn." Whoever asks him what
ails him, laughs at him for his pains to answer,
while many unfeeling persons maleo game of
him, or of his misfortune, or boi'. It ia very
wicked to rnako sport of persons with boils;
thv/j" oanuot help it, aud often feel very badly
about it. Physicians don'c give boi? patients
much satisfaction as a general thing, oj though
yoting physicians who are jost beginning to
practice aro fond of tryiug their lancets ou
them. Boils arc said t? bo "healthy," and,
judging from the way they tpl-c hold and har g
on, and ache, and burn, and grow, and raise
Cain generally, there is no doubtthat they are
healthy aad have good constitutions. They
are generally very lively and playful at night,
and it is very funny to eoe a chap with a good
large one prospecting arouud his couch for a
place where his boH will fit in "without hurt?
ing." Boils tend to "purify the blood,"
strengthen the system, calm the nerves, re?
strain thaprof?mty.tranquillize tho spirits, im
provi the temper, andbeautify the appearance.
They oro'good things for married men who
spend their evenings away from home, as they
give them au opportunity lo rest their night
koys^nd get acquainted with theirfam'Ues. It
is.said tint boils save thc patient "a flt of sick
ness,"but if the sickness is not tho best to have,
it must be an all-fired mean thing. It is also
said that a person is better after he has had
them, and there is no doubt that one doos feel
much better after having got rid of them.
Many distinguished persons have enjoyed these
harbingers of health. Job took the "first pre?
mium at the County Fair for having more
achers under cultivation than any other person.
Shakespeare had (hem, and meant boils when
iie said, ''One" woe doth tread upon another's
bee], so f*6t tbev follow."
There are a great many remedies for boils;
most of which aro well worth tryiug, because,
if they don't do any good, they don't hurt the
boils. If a chap goes dova street with a boil,
ovc-ry.iuan he ntestawill tell bim of "a good
thing" ?Ci" it, among which are-Shocmakcr's
wacks, Mrs. Winslow's Sirup, Tris, Spalding's
GIuo, Charlotte Russo, Gum Drops, Wat or
Proof Blacking, Ni.'ht Blooming Cereus, Chlo?
roform, Kisscitgen, &c, &c.
THE I ND.
TUE NEW BREECH-LOADER.
The work at the armory, in relation to tho
manufacture ofiho uew breech-loading mus
l?et, is advancing in a very gratifying manner.
This is moro especially observable in the rapid
literation of thc tools and machinery for the
?onversion of the old muzzle-loading musket
into a breech-loading ann, according to an
improved plan. This plan was adopted by
Secretary Stanton and General Grant, upon the
recommendation of a board of experienced
sincere, which was convened carly in- tho pre?
sent year in the City of Washington. Tho ad?
vantages, which we believe will result from
meir action, may be briefly stated as follows :
First. Tho form of thc breech-block has
jeen so altered as to secure additional
strength, and ai the fame time, less weicht.
Second. The* c?.?n latch has boen widened,
hereby more effectually protecting tho spring,
iud preventing it from becoming foul.
Third. All the nuts and screws, which were
iablo to become loosened, andaometitnes lost,
iave either been abolished or replaced by
ivets.
Fourth. Tho weight of tho piece has been
'ery materially reduced by cutting off four
aches o? the.-barrel; the stock aud rammer bc- j
?g correspondingly shortened.* '
Fifth. A sliding sight, graduated from ono '
inndred to one thousand yards, has been sub
titutod for the sight formerly used, and great- :
r accuracy of aim has boen found to be thus '
ttained. . \:
Sixth. Tho "Ltvmson Extrader"1 has been
dopted, which the Board of Examination, above
?entioned. when contrasting it with old
>rms, characterized as "simpler, cheaper aud

PHYSICIANS wonder at the extraer imarv power o?
RADWAY'S RENOVATING RESOLVENT in curing
the worst iortus of Scrofulous, Syphiloid, Chronic
Skin Diseases, and its raa-velous power in resolving
ralculous coocretions, atl'ordingimmediate relief and
consequent cure of Diseases of the Kidut-y, Bladder,
Liver, Lungs, Pancreas, Spleen. Its rapid influcrco
iu the cure ol' Diabetes, Incontinence cr scanty, tur?

?caoy in stopping itching aud painful discharge ol
urine, aud ils singular power in curing dis-charges
from the Uterus and tirctbra, L'ucorihoca, Bloody
Unue, and ctber unhealthy and weakeniuz dis?
charges;-and inquire wherein the SAllSAPARIL
LIAN used in the Renovating Resolvent differs irom
ordinary Sarsaparillas : b'ars iparillian is the only
principle in Sareapardla that possesses euradN
properties; all other parts ot the root are inert and
useless. Ono ounce ol' the extract obtained under
Dr. Rad way'a new process far extracting the curativo
properties from vegetaKo substance?, contains moro
of the true principle of cure than tweuty pounds of
the ordinary roots.
SARSAPARILLA IN is only one of tho ingredients
that forms this truly wonderful medicine; and it is
the only compensating remedy that communicates
its purifying, cleanske and reinvigorating proper?
ties through the BLOOD, SWEAT, UBINE, and
other secretions, securing a harmonious functional
action of every depraved organ and gland in the sys?
tem, ii the blood is corrupt, tho Resolvent will
make it pare, ir the Lunas are ulcerated and ?ore.
secreting thick phlegm and prurelcDt matter, the
resolvent wiil loosen this deposit and rc nair tn?
wasting lung with sound and healthy material, if
thc Skin is covered with pimplest, spots, postul?e,
sores, ulcers, Ac, the Resolvent will quickly reniovs
these annoyances. D' mercury is d .-posited in the
bones aud has accumulated in die system, tho Re?
?oivent will drive it out. If the Thioat or Broncmal
Glands are ulcerated, tho Resolvent will cure these
signs ol au early waste. Direct remedies, possess?
ing only exclusive properties, ara hurtful, as they
increase thc functional secrctions'of on - organ by
suspending the constituent secretions of othciv;
hence, a compensating remedy like thc Resolvent is
thu only means of a permanent vu re.
BEAR IN MIND THAT EVE RX DBOF OF BLOOD
