LADIES SOMETIMES GAMBLE.

We zee by an exchange paper thst a story has
been published in New York about certain lady
who was in the hahi, OF frequenting hell In the
lower par, Of the city, in disguise--and who vas
said to have lost 500 or So 900 there.
The truth Of this matter was doubted at tho time
bu, an adventure recently occurred that tends %
confirm the belief that he fair sex do occasionally
and on the sly indulge in The beautiful passion of
gambling. For some weeks past, man Of youth.
tul appearance, wearing mus,aohes, was to be seen
bs an occasional vislcr to well known house III
Park Row, where he played with various success
but for moderate stakes. At length, on night
week or two ago, he rendered check for two
hundred dollars to the banker and in under tone
requested counters. II had been remarked HAT he
scarcely ever spoke but in the same subdued man
Der. AS he was recognized os frequent vlsitcr,
and appeared respectable his request was at once
complied with, and for time fortune seemed 10
crown his speculations. At last, however luck
turned and he lost oil. His agitation had been
continually increasing, and losing his last coun
ter ne dropped scnsecss on the floor. He was
Immediately carried into private apartment, where
every humane attention was paid to him, and prop
er rcstorativcs applied, but he reapsed from one
ut TO another and at last, on unbntcnng his col
| lar and throwing open his vest the man turned
out to be a woman. medical man was sent for,
and at last the young woman was restored to com
parative self possession. Consciousness, however.
only increased her agitation, for strange to say, she
recognized in the medical geniemansa friend both
of herself and husband-for she was a married wo-
man. An explanation took place md 1t is due to
state that the owners Of the establishment nj once
commiserated the situation of tho unhappy woman
and without moments hesitation. returned The
check, which was subsequently admitted TO have
been signed with the name Of her husband.

Franklin. 1t is supposed TO have been addressed
TO Thomas Paine.
DEAR SrR-I have read your manuscript with
some attention. By the argument which II con-
tains against particular Providence. though you
allow general Providence, YOU strike at the foun-
daion of all religion. For, without the belief of
Providence, that takes cognlzance of, guards and
guides, and may favor particular persons, there is
no motive to worship deity. TO fear its dspleas-
ure, or to pray for protection. will not enter
into any discussion of your principles, though yoo
seem to desire it. At present | shall only give
you my opinion, that though your reasonIngs are
subtle, and may prevail with some readers, you
will not succeed so as To chooge the general SEN
timenis of mankind on tina, subject, and the
qucnce of printing this piece will be great deal of
odum drawn upon yourself, mischief to you and no
benefit to others. He that srits against the wind
| spns on his face.
| But were you TO succeed, do you imagine any
! good will be done by it, You yourself may find
it easy to lead virlaous life without the assist
ance afforded by religion you have clear percep-
tor of the advantages of virtue and the dlsadvan-
iages Of vice. and possessing strength Of resolu'
ton sufTicen; to enable you 10 rcss, common temp
tn,ions. But think how great portion OF man
kind consists Of ignoran, men and women, and o
inexperienced, noonslderae youth Of both sexes
who have need Of the motives of religion TO restrain
them from vice, support their virtue, and re,sii
them in the practice Of II I'LL il becomes habltusl
which is the great point of it's secnriiy And per
haps you nre indebted 10 her originally, that is Il
your religious education Tor the habits Of yirtu
: upon which you now justly value yourself.
You nigh, easily display your excellent talent
of reasoning upon a less hazardous subject a.

U to burn this piece before it Is seen by any oiht

THOSE LAUGHING EYES.

You make them glance about,
Ard roll them round so earelessiy,
fear you'll drop them QUIT
And Il you should, the little gems
Would cap,isate the world
Dot useless would they he without
The sockets where they whifled.
Those Laughing eyes--,hey saved you once
A heavy blow at school,
When Master redagogue no Ounce

Had singled out little Miss
Who owned those laughing eyes,

And babe thee ego, he wise :"
And once, DO remember we'll,

Those laughing eyes all roueish still,
Transfted the creature through

Aud let him hope an hour
Then sent the fellow homo to weep,
And own their matchess power.
Those laughing eycs-I saw them oncej
My heart was full Of fears,
saw thee sad-those rcguish eyes,
Were swcllcd with PHYS Tears
Oh. then how beautiful they seemed
brighter charm was given;
And while around they sadly bcamed,
Those eyes were full Of heaven.
Those laughing eyes my little coz,
fear they'll hur, thee yet,
II thou should take it in thy head
Awhile to play coquet
They're given thee for noble ends,
rich, glowing prize,
To charm, and no, TO wound thy friends
Those laughing, rougish eyes
Those laughing eycs-ev'en now they beam
With witchery own wiles,
And cast around rndien, CLEAN.
Like houri's angel smiles;
And ifthcy speak the mind Alright,
In glowing words they tell
That may revel in their light,
And In thy favor dwell.

had subsisted only on water. And often
she had passed whole weeks without even
drinking that. The longest time she has
gone without anything passing into her
stomach is 2ls' days. At The time of wri
tiny this which is on Fast Day, she has
gone nineteen days withou, any nourishment
whatever, not even a swallow of waler.. 1t
