My . Old Dear Home
Between broad fields of wheat and corn,
Is the lovely home where I was born ;
The peach tree leans against the wall,
And the woodbine wanders over all;
There is the shaded doorway still,
But n stranger'b foot has crossed the sill
There is the barn—and as of yore,
I can smell the hay from the open door,
And see the busy swallows throng,
And hear the pee-wit's mournful song;
But the stranger comes—oh! painful proof—
sheares,are plied to she heated ruof•
There is the orchard the very trees,
Where my childhood knew lung hours of ease,
And watch the shadowy moments run,
Till my life imbibed Inure shade than sun ;
The swing from the . hough still sweeps the air,
But the stranger's children ate swinging there,
There bubbles the shady spring. below,
With its bullrush brook where the hazel grew;
'Twas there I found the calmuS root,
And watched the minnows poise and shoot;
And heard the robin leave his wing,
But the stranger's bucket is at the spring.
Oh! ye that daily cross the sill,
Ntep lightly, fur I love it still,
And when you crowd the old barn eaves;
Then think what countless harvest sheaves
Have passed within that scented door,
To gladden the eyes that are nu mute.
Deal kindly with those orchatcl trees,
And when your children crowd your knees,
Their sweetest fruit they shall impart
As if old memories stirred the heart—
To youthful spurt still leave the swing,
And in sweet reference hold the spring.
The barn, the trees, the brook, the birds,
The meadows with their lowing heards,
The woodbine on the cottage wall,
My heart still lingers with them all—
Ye strangers on my native sill,
Step lightly, for I love it still.

Gamblers and Gambling.
nir HENRY W. BELCHER
To every young man who indulges in the
least form of gambling,' I raise a warning
voice ! Under the specious name of amuse
ment, you are laying the foundation .of gam
bling. Playing is the seed which comes up
gambling. It is the light wing which brings
up the storm. It is the white frost which
preludes the winter. You are mistaken
however, in supposing that it is harmless
in its earliest beginnings. Its terrible blight
belongs, doubtless, to a later state, but its
consumption of time, its destruction of in
dustry, its distaste for the calmer pleasures
of life, belongs to the very beginning. You
• will begin to play with every generous feel
ing. Amusement will be the plea. At
, the beginning the game will excite enthu
siasm, pride of skill, the hive of mastery
and the love of money. The love of money, at
. first imperceptible, et last will rule out al
the rest—like Aaron's rod—a serpent
swallowing up every other serpent. Gen.
erosity, enthusiasm, pride and skill, love of
mastery, will be absorted in one mighty
feeling—the savage lust of lucre.
There is a downward climax in this sin.
The opening and ending are fatally connec•
. led and drawn towards each other with
-ahnost-irresistable attraction. Ifgambling
is a vortex, playing is the outer ring of the
Maelstrom. The, thousand pound stake
the whole estate put up on a game—what
are these, but the instruments of kindling
that tremendous excitement which a diseas
ed heart craves T—What is the amusement.
for which you play but the excitement of
the game ? And for what but this does
thet• jaded gamblers play T—You differ
from him only in the degree of the same
feeling. Do•not solace yourself• that you
shall escape because others have ; for they
stopped, and you go on. Are you as safe
as they, when yen are in the gulf-stream of

perdition, and they on the shore ? But
have you ever asked how many have es
caped.—Not one in a thousand is left un
blighted !—You have nine hundred and
ninty-nine chances against you, and one for
you ; and will you go on ? If a disease
should stalk through the town, devouring
whole families, and sparing nut one in five
hundred, would you lie down under it quiet
ly because you had one chance in five hun
dred. Had a scorpion stung you, would it
alleviate your pangs to reflect that you had
only one chance in one hundred? Had
you swallowed corrosive poison, would it
ease you conyulsion•to think there was on
ly one chance in fifty for you ? Ido not
call every man who plays, a gambler, but
a gambler in embryo. Let me trace your
course front the amusement of innocent
playing to its almost inevitable end.
SCENE FIRST.—A genteel coffee house—
whose humane screen conceals a line of
grenadier bottles and hides respectable blush
es from impertinent eyes. There is a quiet
little room opening out of the bar, and here
sit four jovial youths. The cards are out
the wines are in. The fourth is a reluctant
hand ; he does not love the drink, nor ap
prove the game.—He anticipates and fears
the result of both.—Why is he here ?—He
is a whole smiled fellow, and is afraid to
seem ashamed of any fashionable gaiety.---
He will sip his wine upon the importuni
ty of a friend newly come to town, and is
too polite to spoil that friend's pleasure by
refusing a pelt in the game. They sit,
shuffle, deal ; the night wears on, the clock
telling nu tale of passing hours—the pru
dent liquor-field has made it safely dumb !
The night is getting hld ; its dark air grows
fresher , the Mist is grey ; the gaining and
drinking and hilarious laughter 'ere over.
and the youths wending homeward. What
says conscience? No matter what it says
they (lid not hear, and we will not. What
ever was said, it was very shortly answered
thus: •This has not been gambling; all were
gentleman ; there was no cheating.; simply
a convivial evening; nu stakes except the .
bills incident to the entertainment. If any
body blames a young man for a Hide Moo
cent exhileration on a special occasion, he
is a superstitious bigot ; let him croak !"
Such a garnished game is made the text to
justify the whole round of gambling.
Semen Tus: SECOND.—In a room so silent
that there is no sound except the shrill cock
crowing the morning, where the forgotten
candles burn dimly over the lung and
lengthened wick, sit four men. Carved
marble could not be more motionless, save
their hands. Pale, watchful, though wea
ry their eyes pierce the cards, or furtively
read each other's faces. flours have pas
sed over them thus.—At length they rise
without words ; some, with a satisfaction
which only makes their faces brightly hag
gard, scrape elf the piles of money ; others,
dark, sullen, silent, fierce, move away from
their lost money. The darkest and fiercest
of the four is that young (rived who first sat
down to make out a game ! He will nev
er sit so innocently again. What says he
to his conscience now ? I have a right to
gamble I hnve a right to be damned too, if
I choose whose business is it I ,
SCENE THE Tnnus.—Years have passed
on. I le has seen youth ruined, at first with
expostulation, then with only silent regret
and finally he has himself decoyed, duped,
and .stripped them without mercy. Go
with me into that dilapidated house, not
far from the landing, at New Orleans!—
Look into that dirty room. Around a bro
ken tables, sitting upon boxes, kegs. or rick
ety chairs, see a filthy crew dealing cards
smouched with tobacco, grease and liquor.
One has a pirate-face, burnished and burnt
with brandy, a shock of grizzly, matted
hair, half covering his villian eyes which
glare out like a wild beast's from a thicket.
Close by hint wheezes a white-faced, drop
sical wretch vermin covered, and stenchful.
A scoundrel-Spaniard, and a burly negro,
(the jolliest of the four,) complete the group.
They have spectators—drunken sailors, and
ogling, thieving, drinking women, who
should have died long ago, when all that
was womanly died ! 'Here hour draws on
hour, with brutal laughter, sometimes.;
with threat, and oath, and uproar. The
last few stolen dollars lost, and temper, too
each charges each with cheating, and high •
words ensue, and blows; and the whole
gang burst out the door beating, biting,
scratching, and rolling over and over in the
dust and dirt.—The worst, the fiercest, the
drunkest of the four, is our friend who be
gan by•making up the game.
SCENE TUE FOURT/I.—UpOn this bright_
day, stand wiiih — ine, if you would be sick of
humanity, and look over that multitude of
men kindly gathered to see a murderer
hung! At last a guarded cart drags
on a thrice-guarded wretch. At the gal

The prayer is said, the noose is fixed, the

the crowd as he swings freq. After a mo
