"From this glorious meeting of the true wealth,

Gambling Houses at Nea0 OrZeans-A wr
ter in the Knickerbocker, has the following
eloquent reflections upon the gambling houses,
and those who have come and gone from them,
(how different in their feelings in each case y
in the great emporium of the South and West !:
These rooms are very splendid richer than
any private apartments at the North more
luxurious. Sofas, couches, mirrors paintings,
fountains Of nectar, and the music of seraphs,
enchant the senses How many wretched forms
have reclined upon these very couches! How
many haggard faces have been reflected from
these mirrors Here, sitting where my form
rests, the suicide thought of his beggared wife
and the boy-the first born of his union-and
burying his face in his hands, formed the awful
resolution. Here too the old and respectable
planter has sat in mute despair to contemplate
his bankruptcy and loss of reputation but he
did not think of suicide. The old love life
though they know it to be pain and sorrow-
Can splendor, and music, and gaietv, and youth
throw even a CLEAN of joy over apartments SO
accursed2 The air is death Men will not
grow wise by any thing but their own expert
ence. Though all the dead bodies of suicide,
and all the mental pangs personifed. sat by to
warn the gambler, he would not stop. Yes! all
goes on now as before-The cards that are
handled to-day and the dice that rattle so merri-
ly, and the spots so well drawn. have been hand
led and ratified, and seen by fingers and eyes
that now clasp the worm, and furnish nest
for the coiling reptile.
