W he re i u< i ustry and tli r lit prevail, gaming has but tew petron% and gamblers are scarce. An honest vocation add diligent attention lo business, are sureties against temptation to ovil habits. "Idleness," as the old school books used to say, "is the parent of vie*," and every man of observation endorses the sentiment. It was with extreme pain that wo liave boon recently ibrceu to tho conclusion that gambling is on the increase in our ktate. Wealth and fortune have come in npon our people, as a remuneration to honest mdmjtry nriH onffii-nrisn nnil wft ft>nr Mlft Vift?n?r generation will reap tho bitter consequences which usually follow. Our lueu of leisure and means are increasing, and idleness or the lack of employment, will lead men to seek something to engage their attention. Usu ally a resort is had to sources of ainusomcnt, generally vicious and degrading. Business pursuits they deem unfit for their position, and the paths of literature sr benevolence, although tho y lead ao rich pastures of pleasure and felicity, present no inducement to the rich, idle and unbridled youth.? Poor young men who hare ever inducement to lal>or and enterprise, anxious to cultivate social intercourse with what they have improperly learn ed to consider a higher class, are drawn off by this iuflucnce and cngulphed. Perhaps, the most pernicious man in any community, is the decent, wellclad respectable gambler. His very respectability makes him the more dangerous, because the more influential. Many a mother's heart has been made to bleed, and many a father's I grey-hairs have been brought into sorrow to the grave, by the winning, seductive influence of such a man, upon tho unsuspecting, confiding youth.? Dacent well-bred young men could never he drawn off info those mwAPt. ble purlieus of hell, called gambling, saloons, by worthless, degraded inert, I \vl?o seek to plunder ana filch from thc:n, what perhaps, has been accumulated cither by their own or father's industry. The mischief is done by the gentleman of leisure, who professedly takes a game in his parlor for amusement, or who whiles away an hour at an evening party in the senseless, timemnrdering practice of gaming. IIow many a noble youth has been led off into this practice by such men, and hopelessly ruined in this way. Is there no help for it 1 What can bo done to arrest | the spreading evil i It is a crying sin upon our noble old Commonwealth? j a blur upon her well-earned reputation J for honesty and industry?a blot foul aiul debasing, upon the character and name of a cbristain people. The time was when tlieso things were ; done in ac >rnor. When men who even indulged in it for past time, got behind a screen, to sJieild them from the public ga/.e. How is it now? In most of our villages, towns ami cities, billiard sal oons, card tables, tea-pin-alleys, cct., arc j unblushingly paraded. The l>oy not' out of his 'teens, young men and old men with coats ott' ana sleeves rolled j up, engaged in the soul-destroying work, it lias almost become genteel to gamble. The youth, beginning in childhood to throw the dice?to learn the names and value of jthc pack, or to pass hours absorbed in the game of back-gammon, or cards with a nice young lady, starts upon the road to ruin, and lie is found to be an accomplished black-leg. And yet no one j speaks out mantnlly against it. The guardians of the public peace wink at , it?the strong arm of the Jaw has bo- j come powerless, because too often the J makers and executors of the law are the guilty partners in the crime. The result is, our most promising young mon, sons of professional men, <4* merchants, of mechanics, yea of farmers too, are being drawn into the ! whirlpool. What is to be the end of) tliist Why, idleness, poverty, intemperance, libertinism, an early death-1 lied, and hell at last. What must be d'?ne, we ask? The pulpit and tlici press, tlie conservators of public opinion must speak out upon the subject.? JSlotiioiM ana uithet-? must bo on the alert?the boys arc out. [TV. C. Christian Advocate. In tlio year 1780, a very dark day occ ?red, which was long remembered | as such. A lady neighbor sent her son to a doctor, to know if he could tell her the cause of the obscurity. \My dear child,' said the doctor, 'give my compliments to your mother, and tell Iter thut 1 am as much iu the dark as she is.' It was a proverb among the Greoks that a flatterer who lifts you up to the donds has the same motive as the eft- j gle when he raises the tortoise when he wishes to gain something by your full. Tficro arc two eventful period* in the life of womnn r One, when sue wowlera who she will Unvo ?the o.'lu-r who will have her. The first ooctir* nt sixteen tho eecond ?t for. Vb I * limn III mill i * Fashionable Friends. The lfcrdest'frtarof fhoae^ditftt from affluence end honor to poverty and obscurity, '? the discovery that the aU*v;li.4?ou5 of so any in wjjom thej' confided was a pretence, a mask' to gain their own ends, or was a miserable shallowness. Sometimes, doubtless, it is with regret that these frivolous followers of the world desert tin use upon whom they have fir.vrted; b*t they soon forgot them. Flies leave the kitclieu when the dishes are ouiptv. The parasites that cluster nlioiit the favo'Uc of fortune, to gather his gifts and climb by his aid, linger win* the sunshine, but scatter at the approach of a storm, ns flic leaves cling to a tree in tho summer weather, but Wop off at the breath of and leaves it naked to tho stinging blast*? Liko ravens settled down for a banquet, and suddenly scared by a noise, how quickly at the first sound of calamity these superficial earth lings are specks ou the horizon. . But a true friend sits in tho centre, and is for all times. Onr need only reveals him more fullv, and binds him more closely to us. Prosperity and adversity, are ln>th rovealors, the difference being that in the former our friends know us, in the latter we know them. But notwithstanding the in sincerity and greediness prevalent among men, there is a vast deal more of esteem and fellow-vearing than if ever outwardly shown. There arc more examples of unadulterated affection, more deeds < f silent love and magnanimity, than is usually supposed.? Our misfortunes bring to our side real I friends, before unknown. Bencvolepl impulses where we should not expect them, in modest privacy, enact many a scene of beautiful wonder amidst the plaudits of angels. And, upon the whole, fairly estimating the glory, the uses, and the actual and possible prevalence of the friendly sentiment, wc must cheerily strike lyre and lift the voice to the favorite song, confessing, after every complaint is ended that "There is a power to make each hour As sweet as Ilea V'ort i! ><iurnf?r! If Nor need we ro.nn to l?rin>? it home, Though few there l>c that find it!

Wo hoard a young married couple, from tlio country, of course, who re cently attended the exhibition ot itis solving views. The bride, being pretty, attracted jtlie attention of a stylish city gen; who happened to occupy the same seat | with the twain. During the cxhihi tion, the audience part of the hall being already obscuredly 6omo accident the light was entirely extinguished.? Pending its recovery, which occupied some little time, the city gentleman (perhaps accidentally) gently pressed the hand of the bride, who was too much alarmed to offer any resistance. This bold act was followed by one still I bolder, certainly not accidental: for j the < ity Lothario actually kixtted the i bride! This was too much, and the jyoung wife resolved to tell her bus band, which she did, when the follow ing whispered colloquy took place: "John 1" "What ?" "This follow here's a kissing me !" "Well," said John, who was a little shy of the citizen, "tell him to quit!*' "No, John, you tell him!" "Tell him yourself!" "No, John, L don't like to tell him. The gentleman is iv perfect stranger to me 1" Our informant did not know whether the city gentleman ultimately received a "notice to quit" or not?but was under the impression that the unlawful salutes were repeated several i times before the lamps were relighted. Can i>o Tiiniu own Kissing.- -Not a [thousand miles from this village, lives I a very exacting landlord. Jle makes his tenants "come to time" on tiie very dav the rent comes duo, and will only relax his stern decrees when n handsome woman is in question. Not lontr since, he called for his irut of 11 worthy mechanic, who, by the way, rejoices in the possession of a pretty little wife. The husband was not at home when Shvlock called, and he was enchanted with the pretty little wife ot the tenant. Sue could not ihpiidatc the ainout due, but the landlord becoming rGallv enamored, told her lie would give her a receipt iu full for just, one kiss. "Sir," said she, boiling with indignation, "myself and liusband are very |>oor ; perhaps we cannot pay our rent; but I tell you, sir, we're not so poor but what WO win do our own kissing!" Am t tliat a glorious con eolation for poor folks ? The liprdlued creditor may take all their propeoI ty, but he can't deprive them of tlie I privilege of kissing. . > (Kin*'en Gazette.
