THE GAMESTER'S STAKE.
Tbe Mnrciais Angelo Foscnrini bad
been tr.ivtlliig tLrougliov.t Europe for
sorcral yrors, ranltflry measures judiic-
ing Mm to visit Parts. To the guy me
tropolis ho was nccmpanled by bis
daughter, tbe beautiful QlrnipUi,,ehe be
ing tbe only Issue of three most uubap-
iy marriages.
TIiq disnppoinlment of Foscnriui's life
bad bevu iu not'bnring l.ryil an heir. II
wonld have Ueti hi furluue, almost LU
life, fi-r n sun one lio could pcrpotu-
ute tbe nobla-namo of Fuicariril. Ills
life was' pAPsed In orgies and crery sort
of dissipation. Uo luvetl Olyropia, not
asi a father should have loycdliM divngh
ter. but rather becattse sbe -was bettutitul
nml one of tbemost precious of Jiis pes
sessions, lie kept ber always with him,
and bad refused ber band in marriage to
some of the most distinguished nobiemeu.
in Austria nnd Italy. '
"Remain with me,"' be saidj "von will
have plenty of tlma to marry wheu I am
dead." . j-
After a night of dissipation nnSejcite-
ment it was Ms habit to t'sin 'tt tiKth In
tbe Seine, in order to rcTiTelbi'cilnUst.
ed energies. ' '
One day, while bnthinp, liB irciaelzed
with crsmp, and had not some' oto ruaii
ed to bis rescne be would have beeu
drowned. I his preitrrer he rtcngnizi-d
nn officer of tbe Tr,bKns,onB,.-w,hora,be
una met at ricuruont, aniPnltctwnMs at
VIeuun, and whoie'assldnititsTd'OIymp.
la had given him some nueasjiicss!
The yonug officer, ou diibotcrlpg thai'
tbe man wboe life, be haeVsn'red'.wns no
other than the M.irriniH Fuscnrinl, at once
reqursted p rmis3iou to iaU ' uporj Mm.
self and daughter.
To this rcqnesMhe mnrquis most cold
ly acqnusced it' being Impossilile, nnder
the circumstances to veuture a refusal.
Stephen Lo Itoy at once .embraced the
advantage afforded by the position, and
within a month after the accident the
Marquis and te ltoy w;re insep iral.lt).
Lo Itoy was deeply In love with Olvmp
ia, but now wisely aud cautiously
pressed any manifestation of his fetliugs
-norcover, had expressed himself to the
m.arqnis no beings entirely cured of his
extravngnnt passion.
Ha addressed .Olympia without any np.
parent trembling orenib.imismcnt, p'y
ing her only the ordinary c."mi lituents
permitted by .society., ThemnrquiH.feel
ing'enttrely 'reassrireil, aud having per
fect confidence, maile Le Hoy bis friend
and cenflilatit. While tbe old nobleman
was mislead, the ymtng people, neverthe
less understood eaoh other, nud in all
respects Olympla assisted ber lover in
his scheme,
Thus Le Roy was enabled to pas every
evening nt (he hotel of the marqnis, and
in order to hnmor tbe nobleman' becamo
a .devoted gambler. Iu one mouth be
had lost two month a pay and all he conld
borrow.
Olympla had advised Mm to play in
order to Ingratiate himself wilh ber lath
er. Sbe lent bim gold which be lost,Hnd
the more lie lost .the more foud the old
marquis became, for he knew nf no emo
tion sre in piny, no hnppincss exctpt
that which lie derived from gain. At
length, the lack tamed in favor of Lb
Roy night after nlaht he wou. Th
ma qui was devoted tolioaillotte; Ihis
game he had tangbt Stephen, who, al
though iDilitftreut to its merits neverthe
less expnssed admlmtfon tor tbe game.
One evening Le Roy came half all hoar
earlier to the hotel than was bis custom.
On this occasion be bronght with him
fifty luuls. It was nil tbe money Olyrop.
la bad still in her possession, Le Roy
was without means, and was obliged to
yield to circumstances, asallure to play
would have called forth the ill-will of the.
marquis and deprived them of meeting,
This is all that remains," said Olymp
la sadly.
"Sboold L lose it,,thi life of.deception
mast end," responded Le Itoy. I will
then go to tbe'mirquH aud'recjueit yonr
hand in marring."'
.'And if refused?" replied the young
girl.
Then I will blow, out my brains,'' was
the qnlet rejoinder.
Olympla shuddered al the words, for
she well knew that Le Itoy wonld keep
hi row faithfully. '. '
"There U happiness in life," the mur
mured. Yes there is happiness jn life if that
lifs.be, shared i by you," ha . responded, .
'but deprived of, that hope I ictus to
live."
Live ana Let Live."
PA.f SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1881.
''And death I Hare tou no fo.i.- of
death T
"No, Olympia," be replied, thought
tuny, -a cto not rear, l believe In a
great power. Wo of this world are forced
Uto liff, not of our own free will, but
tbrough.tho will of others. This exist
ence with its suflering, its hopes and its
fears, is oar punishment; its disappoint
ments onr curse. This Is tbe life of the
flesh, that which is corruptible! beyond
Una the life of the soul."
"But what may the soul not snffer in
the great hereafter? What may it' not
endnre?" 1
"Nothing except It bo happiness," res
ponded LeRoy. "Our misery is here,
our peace is beyond, the, grave."
" And the grave ?' inquired the girl,
with a shudder; "the gravt?'
Is what we mortals most dread, be-
can o'it possesses horror. The hereafter
is nu unknown land; but let na forget
this for tbertdeut. Whether I lose or
wiu, this night I am determined to speak.
We have too lone; yielded to deception.
Let the lasuo .bo what it will. Iam resofv.
ed.to boIvo it; if happiness is to be ours,
we win. tnatiKbeaven for tbe boon, it rot
we will say farewell."
this instant the Marquis Foscarini
entered the room, and Le Roy accom
panied him to the table, where they seat-
d themselves to play, others being as-
semblrd. At the gaming table there was
a Purls banker, a captain of an English
vessel, nnd two planters from Ilavnuna,
all ubsoibed in the chances of the game.
Le Roy commenced by throwing down
teuiduU, then ten more and so on until
bo lost'' nearly alt As he pushed tbe
money Vis'ido he shivered, nnd bis head
sank upon his breast.. Foscarini laid Lis
hand nponliis'arrri:
"Why. what is tho matter.'Le Roy? ' he
asked in surprise.
Nothing," responded the young offio-
er. as he onco more, placed ten louis up
on the board. This time he gained 100,

captalu 20,000 and, the planters 130,000.
It was the, Marqnis Foscarini who bad
lost all this money. Much .excited the
gamesters drank together, and promised
to meet again in,n few hours.
At the solicitation of Olyrnpia, LeRoy
postponed speaking to ber father, whose
lo bad been very great.
The- meeling of tbe parly again' took
place as arranged, and Foscarini lost all
be possessed in the world his palaces
io Florence and Naples, his villas at the
foot of Vesuvius and in the neighborhood
pf Rome, there remained not a vestige
or .nis large fortune. Ha was rained.
Through, tbe closed shutters and crirnson
curtains thftday was 'piercing! 'rind tnade
tbe dying candles' ldok'still more pale,
Of 'these six gamblers, four resembled
fctfltues.. Tho immense losses of their
host amazed tbem, acolislomed as thev
were to loss'as a result of gaming.
Two men alone among thctn seemed to
retain their silf-possession, and they were
itoy aim ioscnrlnl. The latter was
searching his pockets in tbe Tain hope of
Hading something to stake, but not even
his watch remained. His countenance
was terrible to behold.
"Oeutlemen," he at length said, "nil I
once bad is now yours, nud you can with
authority bid rue quit this house, which
is no longer iniue."
"Maiquis " exclaimed Le Roy.
Nay, listen to me," continued Fos
carini, addressing Le Roy. Yon once
loved my daughter, aud I refused yon her
band?"
You did."
"Po you lore her still?"
"Yes, fervently."
"Again, I repeat, are yon snre that yon
love ber ns you onco professed?"
"I'tR"'
"What say yon, then, to play for hei?"
At these' terriMo words all the games
ters arose, bnl wi re incapable of speak
ing, so great was their astonishment In
gesture .they implored Le Roy to refuse
"Did you bta.r me?" continued Ftmca
rlni; "Will vu pUy fi r tbe possession
of my daughter?''
'Will you not accept me as your son,
in-law, Monsieur le Marqnis? If so, I
beg to restore to yon all that chance has
given, ani that you bare lost through
me.
" I refuse most positively," responded
the Marquis.
"iiifit,! a pt to r proposition, re
plied Le Roy, coldly; ' now listen to
mine."
All present expressed horror. nt sncb
an arrangement. Foscnrinj returned tbtlr.
gaze with oue of sovereign contempt nnd
indifference. Then turuing to Le Roy,
he said:
"Be it as yon wish.
"I play for your danRhter'replied the
young officer, "ugalnst al that. I possess

"It Is well," responded tbe Marquis,
as he. speedily threw three cards on. the
table tbey were three aces. Le Roy
also' threw cards tbey wire three tens;
ha drew a fourth card it was a ten. He
had won.
All arose, Sealring lo depart- As they
saluted tbe Marquis tbey saw that he was
weeping. Tbe loss of his child and his
millions bad reduced him to a state of
wretchedness beyond even tbe misery of
mendicity.
Le Boy approached the Marquis. For
an instant he paused.'
' 'Mon leor la Marqnis," he said,' "this
has been a horrible dream you hare lost
nothing and gained nothing."
"What do you mean?" inquired Fosca
rini. "Yun say I have lost nothing. Ask
those who leave this house laden with
my gold if I have lost nothing. Oh, so,
my tears and emotion are as naught to
you.
Thus speaking be passed from the room,
a04.no one, attempted, to prevent him bo

alone in the aprUant.

apartment, accompanied by his dangh
(er Olympia.'
'Monsieur," ho said, addressing Le
Boy, ' I am jiware, of my position, but
even now I tell you that yon cannot be
my son in-law."
" Why ?" demanded LeRoy; " I have
now not only tho right of her preference
aud my qwn, but the right of honor a
debt of honor on your part."
"And yet I sny it cannot be. You, al
though an officer in the army, areof bum
ble birth you are not noble. Olympla
omnot be your wife, at least not while I
live. Your wife she cannot be, yonr mis
tress she shall not become. Neverthe
less, as you Bay, in point of honor' she
belongs to yon, yet while I bold my claim
I still hate something to gnmbl for, and
we have not done with each other,"
These horrid words chilled his listen
er to the soul. Having spoken, the Mar
quis locked, the door and placei the key
in bis pocket,
"And now for my revenge," he contin
ued, drawing two pistols front his' pock
et, " Yon see they are both alike, and
both unloaded, I will lead one of them.
Olympla shall, while onr bacls aro turn

shall then choose, and we will fire at the

daughter returns with. me to I'a'y. If, on

Le Boy would have spokn or left the

qnii anticipated him
" If you take one stop," ho exclaimed,
"or ntter one word, I will fire upon you
and then upon Olympia."
At these words Ihe young girl nttcred
a wild cry and fell fainting at his feet.
"Have jou.no mere?'' asked LeBoy.
None." responded Foscarini. "Since
I must act I will do so. He at once

fifty mllJiov)S tbe receipts pf any previous-
year. The aggregate amount was $220,
225.522.4C, of. wl icb more than three-
fourths was in gold.- Over $0o,000,000
in bullion were received from Europe
alone, and the' coinage facilitlos of tbe
various miuts were taxe'd to their fullest
extent in converting it into American
money. Director Burphard reports that
$78,733,801 iu $5 $10 and $20 gold pieces
were made during the year, and that no
fewer than 27,C37,0 55 standard silver dol
lars were struck off, although' the num

required. for actual circulation. Ia ad

A Hong Kong correspondent of the
Boston News tells an interesting inci
dent, lie .bad been Intrusted with pack-
ages for a young man from his frienda in
the United States, and alter Inquiry
learned that he might probably be found
in a gambling boose. He went thither.
but, not seeing him, determined to wait,
in expectation that he might come in.
The place was. a bedlam of noises men
getting angry over their cards and fre
quently coming to blows. Near him sat
two men one young, the other forty
years of age., They were betting ami
drinking in a terrible way, the alder on
giving utterance continually to the foul
est profanity. Two game had been fin
ished, tbe young man losing each time.
Tho third game, with fresh bottles o'
brandy, had just began, and the yoaup
man sat lazily- back in his chair, while
the elder shuffled the cards. The roan
was a long time dealing, the cards and tbe
young man, hokiog carelessly about the
room, began to hum a tune. He began
to. slug that beautiful one of Picnbe
Cary's:
"One sweetly solemn thought
Uouief to me o'er snd'o'er,
I'm nearer to my Father's bouse
Than I've ever been before,
"Nearer tbe bound t f life,
Where'wo lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving my cross,
Nearer wearing my crown."
At first, says the writer, these words
in such a vile place made mo sbndder. A
-'abbath school hjmn in a gambling deal
Dot while the young man sang, the elder
stopped dealing the cards, staring at the
singer a moment, and throwing the cards
an the floor, exclaimed:
"Harry.where did you learn that tune?"
"What tune?"
"Why, the one you have just been
singing. "
The young man said he did not know
what be bad been slnglug.wheu tbe elder
repeated the words, with tears in his
eyes, .and. the young man said he had
learned them in a Sunday school in
America.
"Come," said the elder, getting up;
"come, Usrry; here's what I've won from
you; go and use it for some good pur
pose. As for me, as Ood sees me, I have
played my last game and drank my last
bottle. I hare misused you, Harry, and
I am sorry. Give me your hand, my
boy, andlny that' for old America's sake,
if for no other, you will qnit this infern
al business."
Tbe writer says those two men left (he
gambling house together and walked
away arm-in-arm.

The "Hatters' Gazette" says: An ex
change paper says that tbe plug bat is
virtually a sort of guarantee for the pre
servation of ptace .and order. He who
puts one on has given a hostage to tbe
community for his good behavior. Tbe
wearer of a plug bat must move with a
certain sedateness and propriety. He
cannot rup, or jurap, or romp, or get in
tcr a flight except atUhe peril of his head
gear. All tbo hidden influences of tbo
beaver tend toward respectability. He
who wears one is obliged to keep the rest
of bis body iu decent trim, that there may
be no incongruity between head and
body. Ha is apt to become thoughtful
through tbe necessity of watching the
sky whenever be gora out. The chances
are that he will buy nn umbrella, wbioh
is another guarantee for good behavior,
and the care of bat and, umbrella -per
petual aud exieting as it mtist ever be,
adds to the sweetness of bis character.
The man who wears a ping bat natural
ly takes to the society of women, with all
Its elevated tendcuui' s. He cannot go
hunting or fishing without abandoning
his beloved bat, but in tbe moderate en
joyment of ercquet and lawn tennis be
may sport his beaver with impnnity. In
other words, the constant nse of a ping
bat makes a man composad lu manner.

companion of the ladies. The inevitable
result is prosperity, marriase aud chnrch
