rough, bashonest reproof, which the Edi-
tor of the New York National Advocate
applies to excessive gambling on Races,
oil which we have lately seen too much:
I'm trial of speed, in reasonable
bets, sufficient to excite an interes; in
the contest. there is nothing reprehensi-
BILE; but it adds little, if any thing, to
our national character or our domestic
reputation and prudence, to stake
10000 dollars On the swittness of two
horses, and. the tens of thousands of con-
tlngent bets which necessarily must
grow out Of stakes so aIarmingly high.
In this case an evil is to be apprehended
on both sides. The winner, flushed
with success, goes on doubling his risks,
and the loser pluuges deeper in ruin,
To retrieve his loss. Persons become
excited by the competition-yenture
more than they can afford to lose, which

instead of prudently retreating--then

through their patrimonial estates, and

Another evil may be traced to the
running, breaking down, and efectually
destroying fine colts. by pushing them
before they have sufficient wind or bot

marks may appear to the gentlemen in.

A shoot from the willow that shades
Napoleon's grave at st. Helena, is pre-
served in one of the hot houses of the
King of England's gardens OF Kew. 1t
was cut from the tree, and the slip put
into earth, where it took root. On
reaching England it was presented to
his Majesty. 1t is about foot high,
and thrives well. The foregoingis the
substance of paragraph from an En-
glish newspaper, all of which is natu-
raj enough, except that this slip should
have been presented to the King, and
by him have been preserved. Properly
considered, this shrub can be no other
than a reproach to the head of the Bril-
fish nation, living memento OF the ty-
ranny, oppression and persecution ex-
perienced at the hands of the British
government by distinguished hero and
statesman, whose days we're unques-
tionably shorte ned thereby. The page
of history will make that government ac-
countable to posterity for their gross
violations of the ties of humanity and
philanthropy.
