A BEAUTIFUL CHARACTER,
We extract from a volume of Lectures
and Essays, by the Rev. Henry Oiles.the
following beautiful picture of a join man.
The two volumes are filled with similar
passages of eloquence and truth t
"A just man is always simple. Heim a
man of direct aim! and purposes. There
is no complexity in his motives, and hence
there is no jarring or discordancy in his
chary:ter. He wishes to do right and
in most cues he does it t he may err, but
it is by mistake of judgment, not by per.
versity or intention, The moment his
judgment Is enlightened, his aetion is eor.

clear and worthy end, he will never pur
sue it by any conoesled or unworthy
means. We may carry our remarks for
illustration, both into public and private
life. Observe such a man is his home

them. We remembered him in the prime
of life as a gentleman gambler. We make
that distinction between a professional
gambler, who cheats at.cards, and one who
plays skillfally but botatinnbly. He had
some consideration in easel. for his oc
cupation was not generally known. He
had respectable acquaintances ; gentlemen
moiled to him in a friendly,way ; his man

was neat, without being flashy. lie led
the life of a gambler. however—to-day
rich. to-morrow poor—with all the phases
and changes incident to that oiling. We
saw at once that in his descent he had gut
as low es a billiard market-, and could not

no'longer - any mittney,to bet with.

"I don't complainehi should I ?" he
replied. "I never had any certainty iu
my professional life. If I had thousands
one day, I was without a dollar the next.
Now I am sure to get seven dollars at the
end of a week, and I am contented,"
"I)o you know," said we, taking a seat
along-side of him on the ceshion settee,
"that I haven curiosity to learn what was

"One night I won thirty thousand dol

"Prodigious ! Thirty thouand dollars
do you say ?"
"Yes. I played all night and lost it all
back excepting eight hundred dollars. I
should have lust that. but it was Sunday
morning, and I heard the bells ring for
church ; and recollecting that I hail pro
mised my wife to go to hear the bishop

unnatural or unreasonable. If you win
you have something to give thanks for :
if you lose, you can pray for better leek
in future." This is the consolation of the
gambler'a life !

"Did you never forswear gambling P'
we inquired.
"Oh i frequently ; but always broke
my oath. One night I lost three thouaand
—all I had in the world—and went home
quite melancholy with ',a fritSnd. It was
past two o'clock and I invited him In drink

the bitter oaths I could remember that I
never again would handle cards. While
