A MORNING WITH GAMBLERS
BY REV. JOHN MCCLINTOCK, D D.
In the earlier years of my ministry I
formed a special fellowship with a very in
telligent and pious family. The father and
mother were of the vigorous Scotch-Irish
stock ; claar-headed-and-sound-hearted — pen•
ple. The children inheriting strong health
of mind and body, and were all quick
s wited
and lively. I loved them all dearly, and
came at last to make their family destio ies
-h .
One of the sons, Edward, was a fine,
young fellow of eighteen, exuberant in both
life-and-strengt h r lau t n ess —an d
good humor. - Young as he was, he showed
great talent for business, and was already a
trusted clerk in a large mercantile house, with
a liberal salary for those times.
I was cal:ed out of bed, one morning, at
about four o'clock, to see this young man.
Ile was in great distress, and could hardly '
tell his story ; but it came out at last, and
was bad eunugh when it came

I found on questioning him, that he had
been gambling for two or three months. He
had begun by learning to play cards of a fel
low clerk, played at first, mei cly for the plea
sure of it, but soon found that a 'small stake
was necessary to give interest to the game.'
Iu short, he had gone the road which thou
sands have trod before him From innocent
card playing, to betting at whist, and from
the whist table to the faro-bank. Of course,
I was very angry with the boy. But I was
sorry, too. as I looked into that fair young
tace, agonized with fear and shame—lorry for
him, and still more sorry for the proud father
and fond mother, who must soon know of
their dishonor.
But I bad to brush away these emotions
and answer the practical question.
'What shall 1 do r'
It was plain that the first thing to be done
was to get the money back, if possible. I
dressed rapidly, went to the house of a le
gal friend, aed woke him up. His advice
was soon given.
Don't try law with these peophi. Go to
them yourself, alone, and demand the money
on the ground that they won it from a min
or. I decided to try.
I confess that this decision made me nor•

professed gambler, 'Moreover it was not yet
six o'clock in morning, I went borne,
swallowed a cup of coffee, and set out on my
strange errand.
Edward had lost seventy dollars at Frank
lin's gambling house, one hundred and fil ty
at Hodgsou's and one hundred and thirty at
Dufour and Clark's. He gave me each ad
dress, street and number; my task was to go
to these men, talk with them face to face,
and get the money—if I could.
Franklin was my first man. It was seven

was no ball to pull A maid admitted. me,
atter some parley, and led the way into a
back room, where I found Franklin shaving
before a little glass hung at the window. Hia
appearance was not preposessinf , , a bullet
head covered with a heavy shock of irongley
hair, and set strongly on a pair .of brawny
shoulders; a bull dog expreseton of face; the
whole figure indicating animal force, brutal
ity and obstinacy. •
His gruff 'What do you want at this hour
of the morning?' did not tend to •reassure
me. The npshotrof my conference with him
was a blunt refusal.
'The fellow took his risk and must stand
by it.'
With this I left him. '
Hodgson was my next man. His 'place

of business' was shut, but a negro who was
hanging'aboat told me where he lived, in a
distant part'of the. city.- A carriage soon
set me down in front of a grocery store; with
the sign 'W. B. Hodgson, family Grocer
ies.' A decent, even handsome woman, with
a good h 3isest face presided at the desk.:- , -
The place Was in perfect_ order, with all_ the_
air, of prosperous trade. She told me that
Mr. Hodgson had gone down town on busi
ness. (I must see him this morning, Mad
am, on private business. _
The word 'private' arrestedlier; an expres
sion of fear and trouble gathered rapidly
over her honest face. It was clear that she

ly.
'You will find my husband at, 'firs plsce'
by this time, and he will give you the mon
ey '
I found Hodgson a man of five•and-thirty,
or thereabouts, with the look of a well-to•do
tradesman, and an open, frank__ expression.
My story was hardly begun when he ask
ed—
'Do you recognize me ?'
'Well,' said he, 'you paid me my wages
many a day, when I worked in the Metho
dist Book Concern, and you were then cash
ier.'
fie - told - me - the steps - of — his — fall, — h - o - re - d
'some day to give up this part of his busi
ress,' and born the lecture I gave him with
the best possible feeling
'As for poor Edward,' said be, hive
often warned the boy not-to-come—into—lbis
or any other such pluce. Here is the mon

dollars.
I told him of my failure with Franklin
'Go first to Dufour & Clark's— you
gory - our money there; they have 'no prin-
tell Franklin the t both Hodgson and Dufour
have paid up, and say firm me that BE FIAD
BETTER.
There was an emphasis on the HAD BET
TER which was full of meaning.
In five minutes — l had reached Dufour's.
He - was not at home, but I would find Jiro
at 22 Jones street.

ee that the '' around-floor room was
nearly, full of men ; the secgind c stoly con
tained a similar lot; and 1 confess to a little
tremor when I was told to go a story higher.
Here, again, the baize door stopped the way;
but the door keeper called Dufour out.
'Well, what do you—want with me ?' be
asked.
. .
'Come down stairs; I will tell you my
business b9low.
A little to my surprise, he put on his hat
and earre quietly down to the front door.—
Here he stopped, and demanded my errand.
'Walk on with me.' said I.
'Not a step until you tell me what you
want I'
13e was a young man, apparently about
twenty-five, of good person and manners. 1
put my arm within his and said :
• -Now, if you will walk quietly with me,
like a gentleman, towards your place, I will
tell my errand as we go; if not, I will call
the police.
hly grip on his arm was pretty firm. He
looked at me for a moment, and submitted.
At fiu st lie scouted my demand for a return
of Edward's money, but by•and-by he soften
ed and told me his own history. It was the
old story of temptation and weakness, with
the old excuse and palliations. . He gave me
a half promise to reform, but would not fix
a time to begin. We reached the door of
his den, in the second story of a very good
house. Without rapping he walked in; and
I followed. A stout,, ruddy man, of thirty
or so, sat at a table writing or casting up ac•
counts.
'Well Clark,' said Dufour, 'we must shell
out freely for last eight's work.'
Clark looked tip from his desk, and saw
me behind Dufour, and in a sudden access
of cowardly fright, ran out of the door and
hurried (lawn the stairs. In a moment more,
I saw him scaling•the fence of the back lard.
Dufour burst into a heavy laugh.
'He's off I Ile took you for a judge or a
policeman, to say the least. But that won't
stop our settlement.'
He drew out a drawer of the desk, and
counted the money in gold, and handed it
over.
'Tell your young friend never to enter this
place or any other of the sort again.'
'And let me tell you,' I ref lied, 'that the
place is just as bad and will be just as fatal
for you as for him'
The poor fellow seemed softened and sad-
dened as he bade me good bye.
It only remained to.see Franklin again. I
told him that the other two had disgorged.
•What is that to me 7 You will get nothing
here,'
'Mr. Franklin,' said I. 'Hodgson says that
you BAD BETTER pay up'
lie looked at we for a moment, ope Ced.
his pocket book, and counted out seventy
dollars.
By ten o'clock in the morning the money
was in Edward's hands, and he was spared
the shame of acknowledging himself a de-
faulter. But I made it a condition that the
facts should be made known to his parents,
and to his employer, With strong promises
for the future. One would think such a les

Oliver Dyer, of 'Wickedest man' celebrity,
is authority for the assertion that two hun
dred thousand people below Twentieth street,
in New York, live in cellttrs. lie has ob.
tained the actual figures pf the liquor shops
5,248 There are 1,678 billiard saloons
in the city, and 40,000 destitute and orphan
less children. If these figures are correct,
benevolent minded people need not go abroad
to ameliorate the condition of weak and suf
fering human nature. They will find a
'right smart chance' to attend to at home.
A LAZY CLUB —A club called the Lazy
Society, has been formed in East Bridgeport,
Connecticut. It already numbers several
hundred members. Two members have been
discharged—one for striking a mosquito,
which lighted on his face, and another for
gaping too quickly and opening his jaw too
wide. A third member was censured for
.running down hill, but was let off on the plea
that he was too lazy to hold back. The
society is in perpetual session. • .
It is said that Frank Reno, one of the ex
press robbers lynched the other day at New
Albany, Indiana, alone knew of the place
where was deposited ninety thousand dollars,
the proceeds of one of his maiiy robberies.
Ills sister visited him some days before he was
hanged and tried to induce him to tell where
his hoard was •concealed, but he refused ,
telling her that if he could not live to enjoy
it no one else should. The secret died with
him.
An old minister enforced the difference of
opioion by argument : 'Now, if everybody
had been of my opinion, they would all have
wanted my old woman.' One of the deacons,
who sat just behind, responded: AYes, and if
everybody was of my opinion, 'nobody would
have bad her.'

-Beecher on Rings
Hundreds of people went away from Ply
mouth church unable to get inside the house
last evening. "Abhor that which is evil,"
was Mr. Beecher's text. lie said there was
a growing tendency among church members
and others to allow wickedness to grew and
flourish from a mistaken idea that every man
should attend to his own business. Others
compromised . wit t err consciences anti
they became indifferent as to whether the
guilty were brought to justice or not. New
York has nearly as many churches as dens
of infer*, yet the pulpits of that city al%
lowed all kinds of corruption to grow within
its borders until it is second only to Sodom
and Gomorrah. Business men who stand
high in the church set examples before their
clerks that ought to make every honest man
abhor them from the bottom of his heart.—
Ministers are supposed to be the mouth
piedes of God, yet they grow fat in the ser
vice of the devil, by keeping silent when
they should lift up their voices and expose
the wickedness of corrupt men in high places.
Justice is bought and sold, or knocked down
to the highest bidder. Th e very word
'Judge' stinks and could some of these min•
isters of so called justice be placed under pa
rental rule once more, to have the scenes of
their childhood renewed, it would be a bless
ing to them and to their country Were all
the villainies of men in 'high places brought
to light, they would include all the crimes
known to Sing Sing and Auburn. It is time
for some one to thunder,' or society will be
overwhelmed with the corruption of its mem
bers. The foundations of the Government
are supported by votes. When these votes
are bought and sold, the GoVernment rests
on quicksand. This is bad enough ; but
what stall we say when Legislatures are put
into the market ? The only difference be
tween Now York and. Albany is, that the
latter place is 150 miles further up the river.
The people must rise up and show their ab
horrence of these wicked men: Until the
church and its members do this, we are at
