THE DEAD GAMBLER.
BY 4A3,11 , ,S BF,Y:,.;CILDS
Amon; thi; iliUtLialliiS of gold seekers
who landed in Sacramento in the summer
of the year 1849, on their way to the
placers on the south, middle and north
forks of the American river was a prepos'
li . ess i Ds 4t )o kibg gelotieurari by the name of
Hardie. His only companion was a sou,
a lad of some fourteen years, but who, I
notwithstanding his extreme youth, was
sharp, shrewd and intelligent. Mr. Far*
die was what might be called as the iitsh
ionable phrase goes, a "reticent luau."
He had once been wealthy. but his pas
sion of gaming had ruined him. He was
not a professional; indeed, he looked
with contempt upon all who kept games
of chance, but his personal dislike fer
gulch characters prei;ent him from,'
isking -his' money upon the min of 'a
card or the east of the dies. His son,
fully aware of his father's only failing.
sought by every possible means to keep
him from the table, in the hope. vain
thought it was, that the passion would
lose its hold upon hint, and that eventu
ally he would be thoroughly weaned from
cards.
Hardie lauded in Sacramento with
about one h andred dollars in money, the
last of his once ample 1'o:it:In - :, and, with
out an hour's delay. pushed to the mines
which lord just been discovered to the
eastward of Column (formerly Sutterville,)
where it was rumored very rich veins had
been discovered.
By a fortunate chance, - Hardie and his
son made the acquaintance on the road of
two honest-hearted adventurous , sailors,
and they determined to ••prospect" the
country together.
Ori the fourth day from their leaving
Sacramento, the little company entered
the gtdelt, which subsequendy bec a me
famous as the "Oregon,'• and there :iue
ecedeci in securing a claim that nmpiy re
paid the adventurers for their time and
labor. At the expiration of four months
the conlpany had realized twenty thous
and dollars. This was equally divided,
one-half being handed to _Hardie and his
son, while the other moiety was retained
by their co-laborers. When the division
had been satisfactorily' made. Hardie he
came suddenly restless. lie intimated a
desire to return to Sacramento, there to
engage in some mercantile pursuit, for
which his early education had fitted him ;
and he offered to sell his (Me and his
son's interest to the sailors. These num
were reluctant to part with hint. The
lad was also adverse to the proposition,
but tiardie persisted in his resolution,
and finally disposed of his claim for twen
ty-five hundred dollars.
On returning to Sacramento, father and
son. as the reader perceives. ha the snug
little capital of upwards of twelve ther , -
and dollars to begin with. Had Hardie.
as he honestly - intended, when at Ore
,,on canon, at once embarked in
tratio, he could have in a few months
trebled, if not quadrupled his capital.
and perhaps in a couple of years
returned to the Atlantic States with a
fortune quite as large as he was master of
herore the mania of L.:ambling came upon
Unfortunately for him, however, before
he had fully arranged his 311cm/utile
projects, he renewed his acquaintance
with a gentleman who, like himself, had
been addicted to gambling. and was by
him induced to visit the Empire Saloon,
at that time the leading ••hell'' of town,
where titre, monte. and other games of
chance were openly played, a •' hell - where
miners, after months of exposure, perhaps
sickness, and always hard labor. would
lose their• hundreds of thousand of dollars
in a single night.. and then be compelled
to return to the diggings with saddened
hearts, to win from the rivers and hills
those smiles which fortune had denied
them at the table of the gamblers.
idardie had barely entered the saloon
when his thirst returned to hint; and
even bet'ore be was fully conscious of his
action, he found himself seated at a faro
table. Unfortunately again for Hardie,
he ro-e from it the winner of a thousand
dollars.
The pa;-sioti fin' gaming once aroused
in the man, and he could no more restrain
himsoll from indulging in it than a broken
down, thirsty toper can keep his lips from
tasting the fiery potation that stimulates
and poisons.
The next night and the nest, Hardie
was at the table; now, however, :tennis

partied by his son, who, with tears in his
eyes, stood by the chair in which his
father sat, and trembling saw their little
capital passing into the hands of the
"bankers . ' of the game. lie, poor boy,
had entreated his parent not to indulge
in the wild intoxication, to save his
money, and, if he would not en; age in
legitimate business, either return to the
mines or to his home in the far off east.
He might as well have attempted to
persuade the hardened wretches who
were swindlim , • his father to return to the
path of rectitude—of honest dealing
On the third night Hardie found him
self the owner of about five hundred
dollars. llis thousands had already pas.s•
ed out of his hands.
••I will win all back or lose the re
mainder before I rise, - he muttered.
"Poor George." he added, as he glanced
at his sou, "I ought not, for the boy's
sake, to have given away to my besetting
sin; but I could not help myself."
The next moment his mind was
absorbed in the game. Fortune seemed
to be against hini: In a few moments he
had but one hundred dollars left. This
he boldly placed on the I Ineen, and calmly
awaited the result. Thus waiting, he
leaned the elbow of his left arm on the
chair, and while a fresh pack of cards
was being shined. and hid his face in the
open palm of his hand.
number of speculators were at tl:c
table. but none had ventured so heavily
as 'Hardie, and they took their losses or
their winnings with sows degree of equa
-1 nimity.
.l few seconds of silence followed the
ldaciag u' the •'deek" iii the litro box, li and then. amid the silence, might be
heard the noise of the cards as they were
drawn therefrom and dropped on their
separate idles.
"Lost " said the dealer, it: a low,
smooth. monotonous tone. and ere the
sound of his voice bad died away all the
bets on the table were either paid or
swept around to the other side or the
banker. "The queen wins," he added,
in the same indifferent tone.
But before the announcement, "the
queen wins, - had been made, the boy oh.
served that his titther's body slightly
quivered as it with suppressed emotion.
and then remained passive as before.
Yes Hardie had won. Fortune had at
length smiled upon him. His bet had
been added to by the bankers ; but he
did not attempt to remove it. Was he
about to try his luck a second time ? Yes:
He wade no negative movement.
Again the cat de were dealt from the
box, and again Ilardie's fortune was in
the ascendent! But to the surprise of
hankers and spectators, he permitted hi s
winning to remain on the fortunate card.
For nine successive deals the quern
turned up favorable to the bettor. It was
extraordinary. Arrange the pack as the
dealer might—an expert at the game—

Hardie had placed his last hundred dol

Vast Voting Ladies.
In order to be a fast young lady ; it is
necessary to lay aside all reserve and re
finement--everything that savors of wo
manly weakness; to have no troublesome
scruples, but to be ready to accord an ap
preciating smile to the broadest joke.
There must be no feeling of dependence
on the stronger sex; but by adopting. as
far as decency permits. masculine attire.
masculine habits, and masculine modes of
expresssion, accompanied by a thorough
knowledge of slang. and a fluency in using
it. these ladiesshow themselves to be above
all narrow-minded prejudices. There
must be no thinking about other people's
feelings; if people will be thin skinned,
let them keep out of their way at all
events. Should "mamma" raise her
voice in a feeble remonstrance, the fast
young lady impresses upon her that, —she
is no judge of these matters. In her old
school-days, everything and every one
were slow, but it is quite changed now.''
In short, to sum up. to be a fast young
lady, modesty, delic.tuy,retittement. respect
for superiors, consideration for the aged,
must all be set aside; and boldness. inde
pendence, irreverence. brusqueness and,
we fear, too often, heartlessness, must
take their place.
The Departure of a bride.
You have surrounded her youth with
unspeakable tenderness—the exhaustless
tenderness of your paternal and maternal
heart; and she in return, has appeared to
pour forth upon you bosh au equally
inexhaustible gratitude; you loved her
beyond all the world, and she seemed to
cling to you with a proportionable affec
tion. But one day. an ill-ouieued day, a
man arrives. invited and welcomed by
yourselves; and this man of your own
choice carries off to his domestic circle
your gentle dove, far from the soft nest
which your love had made for her. On the
morrow you look around you, you listen,
you wait, you seek for something which
you cannot find. The cages is empty;
the tuneful linnet has flown ; silence has
succeeded to its melodious warblings; it
does not come, as it did only on the
previous morning, fluttering its perfumed
wings about you pillow, and awakening
you by its soft caresses.
Nothing remains hut a painful calm, a
painful void. The chamber of the absent
darling offers that,only thattlisorder which
Is Melancholy for a mother to contemplate;
not the joyous and impatient disorder of
occupation, but that of abandoutheut.
Maideuly garments scattered here and
there; girlish fancies no longer prized;
chairs heaped with half-worn dresses :
drawers loft partially open and ransacked
to their remotest corners; a bed in which
no one has slept; a crowd of charming,
trifles, which the young girl loved, but
the wife despises, and which arc littered
over the carpet , like the feathers dropped
by the linnet when the hawk made the
timid bird it, prey. Such is the depress
ing sight which wrings tears from the
mother's heart. Nor is this all: from
this day she occupies only the second
place in the affections of her departed
idol; and even that merely until the
happiness of maternity shall have taught
her for whom she weeps to assign to her
one still lower. This man, this stranger,
unknown a few months, it may be but a
few weeks, previously, has assumed a
right over those affections which were al
most entirely - her own; few hours of
fleeting and it may even be of assumed
tenderness have in a great degree sufficed
to efface 10 long years of watchfulness, of
care. of selfabnegation; and they have not
only rent away her right to be the first
and best beloved, but they have also de
prived her of the filial caresses. the gentle
attentions and the adored presence of the
heart's idol, whom she has herself' given
to hint for life.
Nothing is left to the mother but the
attachement of respect. IT she loves 'din,
she leaves her home without regret, to
follow his fortunes to the end of the world;
it' she does not love him, she will still
perform the same duty with resignation.
Nature and law alike impose the obligation
on her, and her own heart must decide
whether it will constitute her joy or her
trial; but in either ease the result to the
mother in the same. Nor can that mother
! reproach her with this painful preference,
for she has reared her in the conviction
of the necessity of marriage; she has
herself offered to her own person; Heaven
itself has pointed it entil.s a duty, whose

The influence of imagination not only
cured a girl of a painful malady, but also
proved the means wherewith to wipe off a
tavern score which had been run up by a
set of graceless and moneyless young
gents. This case occurred in the early
manhood of Chief Justice Holt. One
day, for a youthful frolic, Holt and a
number of his young friends had put up
at a country tavern. At, a time for their
departure they f mnd themselves with
empty pockets; not a penny could they
muster with which to meet the claims of
I;enitace. For a while they were at a
loss what to do in such an awkward pre
dieament. Holt, however, perceived that
the inn-keeper's daughter looked quite
unwell, and on inquiry as to what was
the matter with her. was informed that
she had the ague Holt now passed him
self off for a medical student, and assured
the girl and her parents that he possess
ed au infallible cure for her complaint.
lie then collected a number of plants,
mixed them up with various ceremonies,
and inclosed them in parchment. on which
he scrawled divers cabalastie characters.
When all was completed he suspended
the amulet around the neck of the young
girl, and, strange to say, the ague left, her
and never returned. The landlord, grate
ful for the cure which had been effected
on his daughter, not only deelin
et. to re
ceive any payment from the young men,
but pressed them to remain free of charge
as long as they pleased. Many years af
ter when Holt was on the bench, a NYOIIIIIII
was brought before him charged with
witchcraft • she was accused of curing the
acne by charms. All that she said in de
fence, was that she did possess a ball which
was a sovereign remedy in the complaint.
The charm was produced and handed to
the Judge, who recognized the very hall
which he had himself compounded in
his boyish days, when, out of mere fun,
or for the purpose of paying off a tavern
Score, he bad assumed the character of
The Founder of Methodism.
At the recent session of the Troy An
nual Couferenee, a committee was appoint
ed to raise the necessary funds and erect
a monument to the memory of Philip Em
bury. the founder of American Metho
dism. The remains of this man now lie
in a beautiful cemetery in the pleasant
village of Cambridge,Washington County.
A hundred years ago, in his own house
in New-York, he organized the first Meth
odist society in America. Be also erected
with his own hands the first Methodist
church in this country, and ministered in
its pulpit until a regularly organised
' clergyman was sent from England. Then
he moved into the section of the State
which is now Washington county. and
while at work in the field with a scythe
injured himself so that he died of the
wound. For a long time the whereabouts
of his grave was uncertain, but twenty
years ago it was brought to fight, and the
remains removed to the burial ground of
Ashgrove Church, which then stood in
the town of Salem, and last year, when the
Conference held its session at Cambridge,
the bones were exhumed and with fitting
ceremony, conducted by Bishop Janes,
deposited in their present resting place.
Now it is proposed by the Conference to
erect over them a monument worthy' of
the man, and one which will point out his
grave to the children of the Church fbr
generations to come.
Boys vatic}; Tol)acco.
A strong and sensible writer says a
good, sharp thing, and a true one, too,
.tbr boys who use tobacco: "It has
utterly spoiled and utterly ruined thous
ands of boys. It tends to the softening
and weakening ache bones. and it greatly
injures the brain, the spinal marrow, and
the whole nervous fluid. A boy who
smokes early and frequently, or in any
way tt , es large quantities of tobacco. is
never known to make a man of Innen
energy, and generally lack muscular and
physical, a , well as mental power. We
would particularly warn boys, who want
to be anything iu the world, to shun tobac
co as a most baneful poison."
The laws of health are infallible ; the
relation between transgression and the
penalty is invariable. and the infliction of
the latter is certain to follow upon the
Curtner. There is nothing about which
young persons are more beguiled and de
luded, than the belief that they can
transgress natural laws and jump the
penalt:y. l'unislnnent fur a. violation of
natural law is just as certain as that the
sun itself shines, and none can violate
law of his body. or any part of it, that
there is not registered in him a penalty.

There is now an experiment in the Bos-

use of petroleum oil as a steam generator

It should always he borne in mind by
those who inanufiteture the article, that
butter is ranked in domestic economy as
a luxury, and only when it is such in re
ality can it command the highest price.
In its perfect condition. it should be in
color a fine golden yellow, not white,
streaked, or marbled. The grain should
be firm, and neither spongy, "soapy," or
"salty." It must be fine flavored and
not too salt. To have butter answering
this description, the cows must run in
sweet feed, the milk vessels be perfectly
clean, and the milk and cream kept in
cool, dry cellars. The butter should be
entirely free from buttermilk, but not
worked so much as to injure the grain.
Above all, the right kivd of salt should
be used ; for unsuitable salt is the chief
source of poor butter. Walter Carr S:
Co.. of New York, extensive dealers in
butter, in theif. circular of May 2d, en
join upon "all makers and packers of but
ter the use of Ashton's Liverpool Sack
Salt. To give butter that desirable and
salable flavor no other should be used.
It makes a decided difference in favor of
good prices and quick sales. Every mer
, chant and butter dealer throughout the
country should keep a supply of it on
band, and strongly urge its use upon the
dairy community." Most kinds of salt
used by butter makers contains lime,
which being a powerful alkali, decom
poses all greasy compounds, and therefore
changes the condition of the butter to a
soapy substance. The Ashton Salt amal
gamates with the whole mass, and even if
highly seasoned with this salt, butter put
down in June will be found fine flavored
and high toned throughout the seascu.

Favorite and Feejee were treated in the

came two weeks earlier than the others,
bore all the season, and was of good quali

there is no information in all this except
the superiority of the Feejee, which we

Tree tomato is distiziet in habit, and more
acid than most of the others and is not
likely to be cultivated except on account
of this habit, which is rather singular.
We have found all kinds to be nearly

that by selecting perfect specimens of the
old red variety and selecting again the
best of that product, he has raised a to
