Eran Gambling on the New haven Road—hlow it is done—A Young Man invited to Play-- Ile wins and exposes the Itoimes. NEW If.t.vwx, Conn., Jan. L'6, IS6II. Raving business at New Haven, Conn., I took the early train over the New York and New Iraven Railroad, and soon . found myself past the tunnels and dark holes, through which we must necessarily go, be• fore we get away from the din and noise of the city. Passing the bridges and squatter huts that environ the wonderful Gotham, and being out fairly upon the smooth run ning road of all roads east of Pennsylvania, I began to look around me, and pry into the secrets as well as the general "make up" of its "running gear." Aly first attrac tion was the very unique inventions of a Mr. Baker, by which the ears were heated. It consisted of a boiler and the regular steam apparatus and pipes, now used in all pt iic buildings, by which they are heated and kept much more comfortable than it has ever been possible to have them through the agency of the old fashioned and dan gerous stoves, The cars are kept warm —and the traveler's feet, and "foot handles" never sutler front cold, le, the pipes pass directly under the seats along the sides of the carriages. It would do well for some of our Pennsylvania and Western roads to follow the example, and likewise lOok to the comfort of the traveling publit The next attraction was that of an iron bridge of net-work, connecting the ears just above the couplings, by which a pas senger can pass from car to ear without the slightest danger of being hurt or meeting with the slightest accident. Another very good idea,—to be sure,—and one which should be considered by our home railroad men. • On we speed, by the beautiful villages of NeW Rochelle, Mamaroneck, Stamford, Darien, Norwalk, Fairfield, Bridgeport, Stratford, and Milford, and was rapidly .nearing New Haven, when I noticed two .gentlemen (Pi enter the car, one dressed in suit, V7hHe the - other'Were - ari English zebra-striped bosom and collar, with sandy Nt hiskers and pecular expres sive eye, suggesting to any 000 the real nature of his composition. A side glance told plainly •their • calibre; and having traveled not a little among such would-be "snarpers," I was one bled to anticipate their will and intentions, and enjoy a few min utes in their company, to which I was sum moned by a gentle Lap and whisper: "Brave if game of euchre, sir ?" Of course I accepted. (I had already weighed my men.) A car seat was reversed, and the three confederates sat down to " fleece" a stranger. Before I took the seat, my mind was fully set, and my intentions decided upon. I had hail a dozen winks and sug gestive looks reein the pa,scngers, who, no dog,lit, felt concerned Its to lily fate, but they were Id I passed unnoticed, as I sat dealing the cards on an overcoat spread across our knees for the purpose. Num ber one, on my lett, was fortunate enough to secure the deal. I noticed he "stocked" the cards, giving himself a "straight" in "poker." and to me 1/'Cr «c.c.s% Ofcourse bet was suggested oil the "poker" hand—u 'slight div . ersion from the original euchre game first proposed. I declined an accept ance of the e ager, hut feeling sure of suc cess, and seeing rattly through the ruse, I was persuaded in my own mind to put up a small sum, which was immediately taken, and doubled by expert. number three, on my right. Of course, be lost—so did 1, and the money was pocketed by expert num ber one. Two more deals of the cards passed, and each time I was dealt a jail band, (of course, as a hait,) and won the stakes. It came to my deal, and as I pur posely handled the cards awkwardly, at tracted but very little attention. Of course the cards were all marked, and noticing them particularly, I "stocked" them, and dealt myself three ace, and two kings—the same, I knew, would call any hand out. Number one held three queens. Number two three knaves and an eight and nine; and to number three, two pairs—all very good hands to wager open. Before the betting was over finly-firr dollars lay upon the folds of the coat upon our knees. um her three " called "--and the stranger won again, ver.y much to the surprise of all engaged. I had then, forty five dollars, not honestly mine, but belong ing to the experts who had attempted to "fleece" me. Throwing it down, and ris ing ix my seat,l bade them divide it aunong themselves, and at the same time reminded them, in a voice to be beard by all around, that I had perfectly known their calibre from the first—saw them "stock" the cards, and fully understood their aim ; that I had "stoeked" the pack myself—a thing they had not noticed, and that the money was not fairly mine. I looked for u disturbance, of course, but feeling confident of the sympathy of the passengers, I continued my little speech, and as they passed out, reminded them that they should be careful in future, and when u game of euchre is asked for, to confine themselves to that.gunio, and not engage in some other they knew so little about. Bidding them adieu, after handing them my card. I kindly solicited their bet ter acquaintance, fully - satisfied with the part I had foolishly, (but not without H. point,) taken in a game of " euchre" on on the New Haven Railroad. As soon as the "sharpers" had departed, I received the hearty congratulations of my friends, (in seeming); who not little pressed the manner in which I exposed the gamblers. Among them were many ladies, whose expressions of delight not only grat ified me, but gave to a stranger most excel lent company to and from the " City of Elms."

Ask yourself if twenty-five cents cannot be bet ter invested in something else. Put it back in your pocket, and give it to the little crip ple who sells matches on the corner. Take our word for it you will not be sorry. Wait, madam—think twice before you decide on that hundred dollar shawl. A hundred dollars is a great deal • of money; one dollar is a great deal, when people once consider the amount of good it will accom plish, in careful hands. Your husband's business is uncertain ; there Is a financial crisis close at hand. Who knows what that hundred dollars may be to you yet? Wait, sir, before you buy that gaudy amethyst breast-pin, you are surveying so earnestly through the jeweler's plate-glass windows.

Wait, and think the mat- ter over. • Wait, mother, before you speak harshly to the little chubby rogue who /MS torn his apron and soiled his white marseilles jacket. He is a child, only and "mother" is the sweetest word in all the world to him. Needle and thread and soap-suds will re pair all damages; and if you once teach him to shrink from his mother, and hide away his childish faults, that cannot be re pa i red. Wait, husband, before you wonder audi bly why your wife don't get along with family cares and household responsibilities, "as your mother did." She is doing her best—and no woman can endure that best to be slighted. Remember the nights she sat up with the little babe that died ; re member the love and care she bestowed on you when you had that long lit of illness! Do not think she is made of cast-iron! Wait—with silence and torbenranee, and the light will come back to her eyes, the old light of the old days. Wait, wife, before you speak reproachful ly to your husband when he comes home late, and weary, and "out of sort." He has worked for you al i day long! he has wrest led, hand in hand, with care and eel ish alld greed ; and all the demons that follow in the trails of money-milking. Let home he another atmosphere entirely; let him feel that there is one place in lime world where he can find peace, and quiet and per- feet love. Wait, bright young girls, before you arch your pretty eyes, and whisper, "old maid" as the quiet winter steals by, with silver in its hair and crow's feet round the eves. It is bard enough to lose life's gladness and lasticity—it is hard enough to see youthe drifting away, without standing to the bit ter cup one drop of scorn! You do not know what she has endured ; you never can know until experience teaches you ; so wait , before you sneer at the Old Maid. Wait, sir, before you add a billiard-room to your house, and buy the fast horse that flack and White and all the rest of the fel lows covet.

Yon think that is impossible; do you remember what Hazel said to the seer of old: "Is thy ser vant a dog that he should do this thing?" \Wait, merchant, before you tell the pale faced boy from the country "that you can do nothing ihr him." You can do some thing for hint; you can give him a word of encouragement—a word of advice. There was a time when you were young and poor, and friendless! Have you forgotten this already ? Wait, blue-eyed lassie, wait before you say "yes" to the dashing young fellow who says he can't live without you. Wait, until you have ascertained "for sure and certain,' as the children say, that the cigar and the wino bottle, and the card table are to be your rivals in his heart; a little delay won't hurt hint; whatever he may say—just see lilt will. _tud wait, my friend in the brown mous tache; don't commit yourself to Laura Ma tilda until you are sure she will be good to your mother, and gentle with your little sisters, and a true, loving wife to yon, in stead of a mere pup-pet who lives on the breath or Mshion and excitement, and re gards the sunny-side of Broadway :is second only to Elysium !

EDITO7tS.—As publishers of a newspaper, the main object of which is to furnish entertaining and instructive read ing, and from what you publish, it may be taken for granted that you are not an enemy to this class of publication. Nevertheless, you might consider yourselves faithless to your duties, did you not point out to your young renders the mischief, nay, danger of permitting the newspaper to form the sole,: or even chief stock of their reading mater ial. Modern science and individual ex perience both teach the impropriety of a diet exclusively rich and luxurious. le . fact, it is well known that food composed of the essences of the most nutritious meats and drinks is altogether ;unsuited to a healthy development of the human frame. It would speedily undermine and destroy the most robust constitution. The nurture of the mind is strikingly analogous to that of the body. Like the body, the mind regularly rejuires nutri ment of a varied, and—so to speak simpler, severer. eharaerer. To no field of literal ore are those remarks more applicable than to poetry. Of this di vine ollspring of human genius it may be truly said then.; is WI 111 iddlo degree. Poetry must be of the first order of merit, or be unworthy of the name. Time is utterly lost in reading bad poetry ; on the other hand, even the poorest prose writings gen erally furnish something of worth. In order to remedy some of the evils of this rending, bruited to works of fiction and " newspaner poetry, - I hope by degrees that von will enlarge the space in your journal devoted to instructive and substan tial mutters. I hope, also, that you will set apart a portion of your columns to choice extracts from our classic poets, ac companied by brief biographical notices.

An ingenious mechanic 1 / 1 14 perfected an invention for the detection of hidden defects in iron eastiiil;Z Tile r invention is one of the most powerful, and at the same time useful of modern times. A small magnetic steel bar is so supported that besides being able to turn in a horizontal plane, it can also turn in sec•tiotnal planes. It points northward urid downward with an Melina- lion of seventy degrees, This needle tra verses the shaft or bar, denoting the flaws or bad places by an irregularity in the top of the needle. The invention has been test ed in every conceivable manner. In one instance a heavy shaft of iron was drilled, the whole filled up with interior iron, then plugged up, and turned off so smoothly that the plug could not be detected. The com pass needle indicated the spot at which the st rength of the shaft was not reliable. • 1 Libel Suit. The editor of the San Francisco Build in has just - passed unscathed a trying libel suit.

You cannot stop history-making, you cannot muffle truth. The press is the organ of truth in the body politic. If you cannot bear its power, stand from under. This victory is not mine or I might vaunt my self and taunt you. It is simply a step for ward of journalism. It is the shaking off of a pa rasit which might have disturbed but could never have choked up the ave nues of free expressions.

We desire to supply the publiowith the best practical information In reference to the farm, garden.and household. The Farmer on the Sate Side. The farmer is tape to think the profession al man, or the merchant, lives an easy and luxurious life. In many instances their families may do so; but with the eminent end successful man of law or scienco—the artisan or merchant himself—sucha suppo sition is a great mistake. There is not un der heaven's broad canopy a more htborous class of men than these. Laborof body and mind are theirs, arid that incessant. See them early, late, in season and out of season, their whole energies devoted to their several callings without rest or intermission, and far too frequently to the premature wasting of life itself. It Is no wonder that such in dustry directed by good edtteation,X by tilbi term education I mean the entire training of the boy in manhood in its most extended sense), fuel Stimulated by a !audible ambi tion, should lead to success. , Yet with all these appliances the labors of such men are often disastrous; and if not so, after a life of anxiety; their_ toils too frequently end with but the means of at slender support. Compared with these, the toils of the farmer are light. Physical labor he endures, it is trne, and oftentimes severe labor, but his mind is easy. He enjoys sound rest, anal good health. He has much leisure; in trnmy eases more than is for his good. He has abundant time to discuss politics, law, religion—everything, in fact ; but on what rebates to his own profession, I lament to say his mind seems less exercised than on any other subject. Now let the same early education be given to the young far mer of an equally acute intellect, that is given to hint who chooses professional, me chanical or mercan ti le pursuits,educate each in his own line; let Wens start fair; apply the same thoughts, hivestigations, energy and toil, each in his particular sphere, and beyond all question, agriculture will, in the aggregate, have thead vantage—and for this reason. if for Do other, there are but few contingencies connected with agriculture. Its basis is "thy lirm-set earth," stamped with the Divine promise, that while it re mains, seed time and harvest shall continue, while commerce and trade, mechanics and arts are liable to extraordinary and contin ned.accident. Look at the devastation by flood and tire—of ship and cargo upon ocean, lake, sea and river; conflagrations in towns and cities, and the thousand other casualties Mach almost daily occur, all of which are a dead weight upon labor and capital not agricultural, and the risks of the husband- UM man are senree ono to ten in comparison. Rely upon It then, fat mere, you are on the "safe side." Continue iu your noble call ing and Mite your position among the sons of men, as the second creators of wealth: The Potato Speculation. We would not say a word to discourage the introduction or dissemination of new varieties , of fruit or vegetables. They have niubli foi - 'tbeliriners Who groW and in many cases everything for the for tunate ones who originate and introduce them. This is the ease with grapes, apples. pears, strawberries, potatoes—indeed al most everything the farmer grows. We have had the Goodrich seedings, the Early Settee, Rose and other varieties of potatoes —each of which has been called the best, and yet we are threatened with another relapse of the potato fever the coming spring. A party recently showed us a single potato— which wits carefully wrapped in tissue pa per and put away in a nice box in his desk —for which he had refused fifty dollars ! It was one of but very few which are to be put into the market in limited numbers the coming spring at fifty dollars per pound ! Another gentleman who has become some what concpieions from his connection with the " potato fever," will place before the public in March his " Climax" potato, a seedling of the Early Goodrich, of which he says, "it is, all things considered, the most promising early potato with which lam ac quainted,"--and this while the Rose has been before the public but a single season and is still sold at one dollar per pound ! It this does not smack pretty loud of specula tion we are no judge; and while we do not say the introducers of these potatoes and other seeds, roots, vegetables, are de ceiving the public and tilling there own wallets, we do think a little prudenceon the part-ol' purchasers will not be amiss, and that it is best, at any rate, to invest moder ately in such stock. If part of the care and attention bestowed upon new and much lauded varieties were given to old, and good but neglected suits—we think farmers would be quite as well Mt as they are now to pay enormous stuns for articles that are in a few years sure to be superseded and overlooked.—Mutne Forster.
