LIFE’S BUWNY SPOTS* 1
8V WM. IiBOOCTT.
Though life's a darkand thorny path,
its goal the silent tomb.
It yet sumo spots of sunshine hath;
That smile amid the gloom.
The friend who weal and wo partakes 1 -
Unchanged, whnt’er liis lot.
Who kindly soothes the heart that aches,
Is sure a sunny spot. -
Tlift wife.who half our burden bears, v
And utters not a moan;
Whose ready hand wipes offour teats,
' Unheeding all her own;
.Who treasures every kindly word.
Each harsher one forgot,
And carols blithely as a bird—
, She’s, top, a sunny spot.
1 Th 6 ehild who lilt*, at morn and evo,‘
. In prayer,-its tiny voice; < .
Who grieves, whene'er its parents grieve,
And smiles when they rejoice;- '. .
tn whose bright eyes young genius glows,
Whose heart, without a blot,
*■ Ijesh and pure as summer's rose—
lliat child s a sunny spot.
.There's yet, upon life's weary road,
. One spot of briuhter glow,
Whdre sorrow has forgot Ms load.
. And tears no longerflow ;
.Friendship may wither—love decline,
Our ciiibl. his honor blot.
But still, unditnm'd, that spot will shine—
- Religion lights thst spot.

THE LAST QAMBI
' ORf-GAMBLING ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
BY PALCONBRIDOB,
Whnt p great change has civilization and fefine
hienl wrought every where upon this great continent
. of ours, during tile past five and twenty years; and
. ho where hut a more rapid and astonishing progress
bteeh made, in actual 'morality, in the course of ten
or fifteen years, (lun in the glorious soulh>wcs(, ond
(especially upon (he great Mississippi river and along
' Us shores.
- Why, I remember when a dead man’s body found
floating in the Mississippi, or . lying even in the
streets of or Natchez, would
otlracl os little notice a* the a'iJead dogl
or woman was found in' a situation that actually
Required hiding sake of common decency or
convenience, they wore buried as they were found,
and no questions asked! 1 remember when the
Mtssinsippian hilled Hogan, the editor of the Vlchs*

..ted murder in reality, over the river, opposite Vicks*
borg, the affair, upon the people, had just such an
bnecl as a horse or a yacht race, or a fist fight now
A days.
Long before Mr. Hogan and tils adversary came
bver'to the duelling ground—rich with the blood of
tclf-sacrificed victims to rum and false, notions—
from three to_ five hundred people had collected to
4ee the murder *nd bet upon the result! Yet. In full

Out my, purpose now, is not to note, duclling.’but
to (ell a story of gambling,' the incidonls of whicli I
once Witnessed upon a steamboat between'baton
Rouge (the bloody slake) and Nalbhoz,'on the Mis.
•ippt# Twelve years ago, I don't recollect having
seen a single'Mower country", bout, coming up or
going down the river, on which thoro was a scarcity
of “ black legs," and oven when the hot weather and
"yaller Jack" made the travelling on the boats dull,
and consequently victims scarce, the gamblers would*
. Mill hang about the social hull, while away the time
by fleecing the officers of the boat; and frequently
descend to the deck, and extract the hard oarnvc
sweat coined dollars of the deck hands and firemen ;
and, twelve years ago there were, but few white men
employed upon the decks of the steamers, and I then
never saw a while fireman. None but:niggers,
thorough southern ouffys, could then, U was suppos
ed, atund a Climate that would boil eggs in the sun,
and melt the brass buttons from a coaMail, in front
of those wood devouring furnaces, under the boilers!
Hut since that time, either the climate “ ain't what
R used to was," or, while men are gelling used to
It, for white men have nearly supplanted the darkies;
cuffy's occupalion's.gonc, and you seldom hear the
harmonious jargqnal, plantation chorus, or the boat*
men's song now a’days, or now o'nights, as you
steam up and ddwb the Father of Waters. |{ is
really enough to make tho departed spirit of poor
Miko. Finks boatmen'weep, to sue tho innovations

But to my -story. I was bound down tho river,
. early in the fall, before travel had sot in, or citizens
and strangers had began to (look into llio Crcqccnt
City; 1 was on the “Porn," a large, finely built
boat, but not much noted for her speed, although sho
could chaw up About as much wood, in running from
tme wood-yard to another# as would.pul a Polasol*
(Icmcnt through a lung winter* f ti j ,
We had a heavy freight on, the water, Wfls lqw,
and about half our time was spent on sand-bars, and
taking in wood! Oh! sho was a crowder ;on wood
piles!—tho Peru was. Wo had but a-few pqssan*
gers—half of them were ‘Megs," who had dropped
on from several ports after wo had loft tho mouth of
the Ohio; they tried to draw the captain In—he had
given up playing—he bud! The dorks had po.dmo, 1
And the rest of (ho officers had been so long in Lou*
»sv|||o that they wore all cleaned out! Two jiasWn* l
gers lost a few fives and tons','and*then the "legs”
fell afoul of cad) other, h '•
It is’ said dog won't bill it's not tin

It Was whispered about among the “ legs'* that soino
of tho "dock hands" wore rather flush, and It was
not long before sororol of the sharps were on (ho
lower deck seeking' whom they might devour thoro,
VVo wore between Natohcz ami Baton Rouge—
Jdght had closed in—a “wood yard/’ had boon
transferred to the deck of tho Peru, and she 1 was off,
booming and coughing like an amateur thunder
storm. Among the deck hands, or (!rdmen; was a
tremendous b)g negro, a perfect Hutoulos In ebony.
He had boon a slave on a plantation, but at last, was
pul upon a steamboat, os fireman, by his maalorj
owing (o his refractory disposition, which made him
a bad example to bis follow slaves, and the master
would rather have him out, of the way, and in somd

or on old .‘duck to a mud puddle. T)ho darky had
learned to play a pretty stiff game of “Eucre,” and
cord playing in all Us intricato phases, to him had
become a, perfect and uncontrolablo mania! The
o/acAr had been fleecing his fellow deck hands, on
the trip down', and together with his own wages) re
ceived a few days before, hod on hand a genteel pile,
say a couple of hundred dollars at least, and that was
something to >“ legs” when business was dull. A

It was an awful hot night, nota breath of air
seemed stirring, a few stray flashes oflighlning glan*
ced aboilt the horizon,'and now and then a distant
roll of - thunder answered the echoing “ caugh!
caugh!”. of tho old Peru. On a wood wiieolborrow,
in front of the blazing, roasting fires of the boilers,
wore two persons, strangely contrasting, as they sal,
the cool looking quiet ‘‘leg,” with his big brimmed
hat, blouse, satin vest, and strings of gold chains
drooping down, from his ncck,whilo the .diamond
rings and breastpins wcrcglaring in the strong light I
of the furnaces. The poor, infatuated negro,in. a*i
