Repine not thou when dark days come,
For come they surely must,
Nor let misfortune's surging storm3
Prostrate thee in the dust ;
But bravely stem the rising waves,
With hope within thy breast
Remember with a faithful heart,
That all is for the best.
Have courage in the darkest hour,
And tears and moans despise,
For oft thy sorrows and thy woes
Are angels in disguise.
Let hope and faith within thy soul
Re each a welcome guest,
To whisper thee "Cheer up 1 cheer up 1
For all is for the best."
Then fling away all foolish fear,
Be foremost in the van ;
Trust like a child in Heaven's God,
While acting like a man.
Confide in Him, and freely tell
The sorrows in thy breast,
Hope and be happy in the thought
That all is for f lic best.
A TYasliinstoza Gatnblic;? ZZoxsse.
A Washington correspondent gives the
following interesting "inside view" of one
cf the many gambling hells of that city :
Of the thousands who come to the cap
ital on pleasure or business, very few
indulge in the perilous luxury oi gambling.
Want of means deters come, and fear keeps
others' in the honest path; but high moral
principle is the ruiiug habit with many.
Before the war the gambling houses here
wero thronged, and no wily arts were
needed to entice the foolish to their ruin;
they came uf their own accord, and wheu
plundered went away only to. come again
when wealth enabled them to attempt re
venge. Now, however, unle?s a Congress
ional session brings a crowd of immoral
people from the North, there is but slight
business for these fascinating hells. Re
cession has almost ruined their owners,
and the exodus of the chivalry from
Washington has caused many a complaint
among its gamblers.
The most prominent of these houses are
located on Pennsylvania avenue. Nothing
outside indicates the business pursued
within, and honest men who walk the
pavement in front never know their close
proximity to vice. Animated by a lauda
ble desire for. knowledge, your correspond
ent lately made a tour through some of
these places, and now sends a description
of what he saw.
One of the houses I entered was being
ltQtted, in anticipation of the next meet
ing of Congress, Irom which a rich harvest
was hoped to be reaped. Not being in
full, operation, of course it will scarcely
bear description. Not very far off, how
ever, was another in full play, and ready
for editorial cricicit-m. An entry was
entered, the street doors, an outer and an
inner, bc-ng passed through, and a third
with movable blinds was approached. ly
its side a cord and tassel hung, which
rang a bell inside. A young negro, after
first ascertaining who wa there by peering
through the blind slats, opened the door
and admitted the party, and passing up
stairs, 1 was ushered into the presence of
the gamblers.
The entire second floor was occupied,
being divided into two rooms, each brill
iantly lighted, (for these things are only
done at night.) and elegantly furnished.
The back room had u sideboard on which
were a prolusion of well filled decanters and
cigar fctands. This was the refreshment
saloon, and in the other room the busiuess
of the place was carried on. A large turo
table, with the various cards pasted on its
niscd centre and the banker behind with
a box lull of checks bv his side, was in the
centre of the room. Three men were
there, two playing and one gazing at the
others. The game was faro, and as the
banker drew his cards out of the box, the
other carefully marked on a printed card
board those which lost or won, and each
time the first .shuffled, threw his stake up
on a particular card, on which he risked
his money. The gamester soon gave up,
he had lost all his money, and his bets
h id one after the other been swept into
the bank. Later in the evening the
banker told me the man was a poor player,
and that he bad been drawn on by tempt
ing bets UDtil bis ruin was accomplished.
The table was not idle a moment, four
officers of the army entering the room and
proposing a game of poker. The. "chips"
were made worth twenty-five cents, and
at work they wont. I watched the deluded
soldiers for half an hour; saw the apparent
carelessness of the two gambling-houso
keepers, as they fixed the cards to suit
themselves, and the angry countenances
of their victims as, one after the other,
EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 80, 1802.
they lost all their money. The game was
deeply interesting. Some of the stakes
were high, but almost every throw the
officers lost. The half hour was over, and
after drinking with those who had robbed
them, they, too, left.
I had a length' conversation with the
two men who kept the house. They told
many of the secrets of their business how
thirty-three- per cent., after all expenses
wero I aid, was the usual price paid by
Washington proprietors to those who acted
as stool-pigeons how each man played
his money separately, and how they pro
tected the interests of a third party, who
was absent, by not risking Jiis. Nothing
could exceed the liberality of these gam
blers; they were lavish with their liquors
and cigars. To hoar their story, they were
the most honorable men in the world.
They said they never played with men
who did not know how to handle cards,
and oue of them said he had always been
steadfast to one great principle, never to
play cards with any one when he brought
him there himself. Speaking of one cf
the cScers, thcy-callcd him a "cold-blooded
scoundrel," because be left oil playing
when luck was against him.
These men were most strenuous in their
politics, each having the strongest opinions
and to hear them talk of the morality
of all their dealings, almost made me wish
that Jefferson Davis, instead of rebelling
against the Union, had only got up a con
spiracy to repeal the gambling laws. "You
see," said the taller of the two, explaining
the game of faro, "you see when the cards
are marked down on that pasteboard, you
can alwas tell which ones arc left in the
box, by looking at the numbers that are
net marked ; we couldn't cheat you, if we
tried." Of course he couldn't do it in
that way, but pcrlwps he might in another.
IJoth now complained of the dullness of
business, am! bewailed the war, because
it prevented Southern gamblers coming
to Washington. They longed for the
Congressional session. "Why, how' is it
you don't get along," said my friend, "the
theatres are full enough ?" Pshaw!" was
the reply, "any one can get in there for a
quarter." So they can, and when they
come out they are sure they have not paid
any dearer. .With great nonchalance
those men wondered why Congress had
not taxed gaining house.?. One of them
advocated such a tax on the ground that
it was an impost upon luxuries.
Washington is full of such places as
these. There is plenty of Jaw, but no one
in power to suppress ihem ; and when
Congress meets, there will be no means of
calculating the amount of money which
will find its way into the faro banks of
Pennsylvania Avenue.

The "Washington CJironuIr, of recent
date, gives the following description of the
work on the National Capitol. Tho noble
dome, conspicuous for many miles around,
is progressing rapidly, and elicits the ad
miration of every beholder. On the pe
destal opposite the ui-j of Freedom
stands proudly, as if anxious to be elevated
to her. lofty destiny.
The massive steps leading to the new
Senate and House of Representatives are
also advancing, and daily observation
proves that the work will correspond with
that on any other part of the edifice.
The exterior of the old centre section of
the' Capitol wears a bright and beautiful
appearance, IniiTg much improved by the
pure white paintiug on which our mechan
ics are engaged. Those who have recent
ly visited the rotunda have admired also
the fine taste displayed in its renovation.
This is the great national exchange,
for here are assembled daily citizens from
almost every State antl Territory friendly
salutations frequently transpire, anl ex
pressions of patriotic devotion often fall
upon the car as our countrymen and
women stand in survey of the "Declara
tion of Independence," the "Surrender of
Cornwailis," the "Resignation of Ccneral
Washington at Annapolis, December 23,
1783," the "Baptism of Pocahontas," the
"Kmbarcation ot the Pilgrims," oe.
The first places sought for by visitors
are the old Senate Chamber and the Old
House of Representatives. The former
has been transferred to and refitted as the
Supreme Court room of the United States.
The semi-circular gallery immediately
over and around the principal entrance
has been removed, but the splendid Ionic
columns said to be after those of Minerva
l'olids still adorn that memorable cham
ber. The venerable Hall of Representa
tives, although disrobed of furniture and
principal decorations, retains much of its
original nppearance. The beatiful Amer
ican eagle, copied from nature by an Ital
ian arli.st named Valaperte, and tho
entablature so much admired, now occupy
other appropriate positions. The fine life
like portrait .' Washington, by Vuupulyn,
and LaFayette, to orrespond, by. a French
artist, which, so many years adorned the
right and left of the Speaker's chair, now
most appropriately occupy recesses in the
new Hall.
The venerable hall is of the form of the
ancient Grecian theatre. The chord, of
the largest dimension, is 9G feet. The
height to the highest point of the ceiling
cf the dome is GO feet. This hall is sur
rounded by 24 columns of variegated mar
ble from the banks of the Potomac, with
capitals cf white Italian marble, carved by
Anadrei, after the Corinthian order.
Over the main entrance from the rotunda
the clock attracts attention. This repre
sents History recording the events of the
nation.
She stands on a winged car traversed by
the signs of the Zodiac; the wheel of the
car composed of a clock. This was exe
cuted by Iradella. The building now in
course of construction opposite the cast
front of the Capitol, is for the use of the
architect, Thoj. U. Walter, Esq., and
will be very convenient for all having bus
iness therewith.
ESebcl Ilaid iulo Xevr Jersey.
New Jersey, according to Vanity Fair,
if not actually "invaded," at least is
seriously "threatened" by Stuart's Rebel
cavalry. Witness :
Various rumors were afloat, yesterday,
in the neighborhood of Communipaw,
N. J., with regard to a cloud of dust eeen
moving in the direction of that place by
a boy who happened to be seated upon a
road-side fence, whittling a switch of dog
wood with an old two bladed knife a
brass-mounted one, we think our reporter
stated.
The boy, on being brought before the
authorities of the place, cried a good" deal
at first, and stated, gratuitously, that his
parents were, although afflicted with com
parative destitution, persons of unimpeach
able integrity. His father, as our reporter
ascertained, is a designer cf shoe-pegs
his mother an embroiderer of bass-wood
mats. He has cousins in the cranberry
business, and oue of his aunts is married
to a most respectable hogs-bristles for
shoemakcrs refiner, living iu the English
Neighborhood.
On being asked to describe the cloud
seen by him, the hy s-id that he thought
it must have been !u: le by horses. There
were horses' heads sticking out of one end
of it, and horses' tails out of the other.
The horses' heads were sticking out of
the end nearest Couimunipaw.
The boy had neglected to count the
horses' tail, for which he was severely
reprimanded by the first person of Com
munipaw. He also had his hair pulled
by a brother-in-law of the oldest inhabi
tant cf Communipaw for having omitted
to count the horses' heads.
On account, of the confused character
of the evidence elicited from the boy, l
alter a. cross-examination ot seven nours,
it was deemed proper oy the autuonties
to have hiui locked up for the night. The
constable of Communipaw was then or
dered to a larjre boulder, from which there
is a view of the country for miles around ;",
but as it came on rain immediately af:cr .
he was pOctcd there, and continued to rain
at the time our reporter! -.-ft, of course
nothing like a cloud of dust made its ap
pearance. The fact of the horses' heads being
toward Communipaw, however, has con
vinced the auihurities of that place th:;t
the cloud of dust seen by the boy con
tained Stuart's rebel cavalry, on their w;sy
to murder, pillage, devastate and burn up
the community.
They have made their preparations ac

Silver snake mystery, which, a few years
ago, so much excited the people of West

hotel at Silver Lake, in Perry, Wyoming
county, recently took fire, and in removing
some rubbish, the neighbors eauie across
what they supposed was a large India
rubber hose. On stretching it out, it
showed the form of a snake, some fifty
feet in length. It seems the owner of the
hotel hit upon this expedient to redeem
his failing fortunes, and after reaping the

came tsee the wonderful serpent, lie.

In his "Five Lny Sermons," Dr. Drown
thus talks of th5 masculine prerogative :
"I am for beards out and out, because
I think the Maker of the beard was and is.
This is reason enough ; but there are many
others. The misery of shaving, its ex
pense, its consumption of time a very
corporation existing for no other purpose
but to shave mankind. Campbell, the
poet, who had always a bad razor, I sup
pose, and was late of rising, said he
believed the man of civilization who lived
to be sixty, had suffered more pain in
littles every day in shaving, than a woman
with a large family had from her children.
"This would be hard to prove; but it i
a process that never gets pleasanter by
practice ; and then the waste cf time and
temper, the ugliness of being ill or unsha
ven. Now we can easily see advantages I
m it ; the masculine geuuer rs mtenucd to
be more out of door?, and more in all sorts
of weather than the smooth chinned ones,
and this protects him and his Adam's
apple from harm It acts as the best of
all respirators to the mason and the east
wind. Resides, it is a glory; and it must
be delightful to have and stroke a natural
beard, not like beanstalks or bottle-brush,
but such a beard as Abraham's or Abd-el-Kader's.
"It is the beginning ever to cut that
makes alMhe difference. I hazard a the
ory that no hair of the head or beard sho'd
ever be cut, or needs any more than the
eyebrows or eyelashes. The finest head
ot hail I know of is one which was never
cut. It is not too long, and is soft and
thick. The secret where to stop growing
is in the end of the native untouched
hair. If you cut it off, the poor hair does
not know when to stop; and if our eye
brows were so cut they might be made to
hang over our eyes and be wrought into a
veil.
"Resides, think of the waste of substance
of the body iu hewing away so much hair
every morning, and encouraging an cndlers
rotation of ca-ps. Well, then, I go in for
the beards of the next generation, the un
shorn beings whose beards will be wagging
when we are away ; but of course they
must be clean. Rut how are wo to sup

Correspondence of The" Allegianian.
,
Knowing that a word from the soldier
boys is never unacceptable at home, a
few of the leisure hours of picketing on
the Potomac will now be devoted to that
end ; and, although few things of interest
have recently transpired in our tented
home, yet I know how gratified anxious
mothers and sisters are to receive tidings
of cheer of their absent loved one3.
Our home is tLll near Sharpsburg, but
we have been moved about one-fourth of
a mile from our former location, with a
view," doubtless, to the comfort and sani
tary condition of the men. The brigade,
which was for a time huddled together
promiscuously, is now separated into reg
imental camps. The change, if we remain
here any lengt h of time, will prove highly
salutary to the men. Resides, we now
have room to "spread ourselves," which
is occasionally done to a laughable extent.
In Co. F, there are quite a number un
fit for duty, but none dangerously sick.
The list, I am gratified to adTl, 13 rapidly
diminishing since the appearance of cold
weather. The prevailing disease is in no
wise of a dangerous nature, only one (of
Co. G) having died out of a thousand and
nine men since we entered the service.
Yesterday, before moving to this place,
our brigade was honored with a visit from
the Deputy Secretary of Pennsylvania,
who, as representative of the common
wealth, presented to each regiment tho
beautiful emblem of our nationality, with
the number cf the regiment inscribed
thereon in letters of gold. A few appro
priate remarks were made by our distin
guished visitor, and responded to by the
regimental commauders, when the regi
ments filed off to their respective quarters, ,
vowing never to abandou the Hag while
life remained. -
The invasion of our noble old State by
the rebel Stuart, doubtless through the
treachery of some wolf -in sheep's clothing,
was mortifying intelligence t : the Perm
sylvania boys here, and a look of revenge
even now rests on the face of the hist one
of them. Every Pennylvanian should
feel that this foul blot tiiij insult must be
wiped cut.
Yesterday evening the papers came in,
bringing the cheeriug intelligence of tho
endorsement of the Administration by the.
State. Many a loyal heart awaited with
painful suspense the result of the election,
aud you may barely conceive its effect on
all such. Intense gratification 'illumined
their countenances, and 'many a hearty
cheer was given. It will unquestionably
have a good moral eflect on the rebels,
also, and add, as it were, to the prestige
of the Union cause such as the triumph
of our arms could scarcely secure. The
iJca that the rebels would be embittered
and the contest protracted by thus endor
sing the policy of the Administration is
simply absurd, and he who maintains suck
belief has jet to learn the magnitude of
the efforts put forth as compared with
tlveir real strength. The shifts resortel
to to sustain the cause of the ragged rebel
horde thus far are well knowu ud.duly
appreciated. The late acts of the Admin
istration, from the tenor of their own
organs, have evidently struck terror into
tho heart of the rebel government, and
niu.'ii, in a measure, unnerve theicwhole
army.
The news has just come in of the result
of the election in Cambria, and it is as we
expected. Of course, as good citizens,

spirit that .actuates Cambria in the army, ,
it would be more creditable to Iicr people:
