The FATE OF A GAMBTER. The course of
Riley of Bath is not at all unused to our pages.
The career Of such professor is homily against
his profession, and never had career so pointed
moral as his But we are compelled reluctantly
to give way to those who have better claim to
the attention of our readers. Let it suffice to
say that Riley lived life of the most gorgeous
luxury ana exravagance-that he was the COM
panion Of sovereigns-that he squandered money
with protusion amounting to insanity, and won
it by good fortune that seemed connected with
the supernatural; nor was he free from generous
and daring sentiments. He, on one occasion.
rsked an entire colossal fortune on the hazard If
the die against Russian estate, the slaves ON
which he was DESTROYS of restoring to freedom.
He succeeded in his attempt and accomplished
his desire. Subsequently he ran brief course
/ of dazzling splenJor; he lived in palaces, contin-
ued to play, became unucky, and found fortune.
wealth, and friends deserving him. AT length
the once possessor Of millions was seen wander
ing through the streets of London naked fanisb.
ed, and penniless: and finally, he who had feast
ed emperors and Jared sumptuously every day
died OF absolute starvation in one Of the misera
BILE alleys of the great metropolis. Such is the
course OF a ganesteri- Church OF Rnelond

FLANNEL. This article was first used in Bos
ton, as a dress next the skin, by Lord Percy's
regiment, which was encamped on the Common
in October, 1774. There was hardly flannel
enough thenin the whole town for that one regi-
ment. Some time after Lord Percy had begun
with flannel shifting, Sir Benjamin Thompson
lord Rumford) published pamphlet in Amer
lea, assuming to have discovered this practice.
He might, perhaps, have suggested the use Of il
to Lord Percy. Flannel has not been in general
use ill within some thirty years.

The man who adopts for bis motto, !" will not
be imposed upon" and who resolves to resent
any and every Infringement Of this maxim, paws
dear for his infiexibility by constant succession
OF boisterous feelings within his own breast, and
as frequent collisions with his fellow men. We
must learn TO submit now and then to wrong.
rather than give offence TO fellow creature. We
must not keep too strict an account of debt and
credit with our neighbor This truth commends
itself to every one who would g live happy, die
happy, and be saved''

DIsTINGUIsHED OPPONENTS OF TIE Ga,
Lows. Hon. Robert Rantoul, Jr, in bis grafton
lately before the Massachusetts, Society for the
Abolition ofCapital Punishment, as we learn rn,
the Prisoners Friend, stated some facts yvb;ch
will be new to most readers. For instance Il ~ =
stated that all distinguished lGtoyers in Francs
had petitoned Tor the total abolition offhe deot5
penalty. This must be convincing evidence tbat
Capital Punishment opposers are not all Non. Re-
sistants, as the enemies OF the cause would Gain
have us believe. Another fact Of great inror'
lance was, that Wicklife, the great Retorper
was decidedly opposed to Capital Punishn,snt
and this was one OF the heresis Of schich he ,oas
accused before the Pope.

DEGENERATION OF POTATOES. 1t has been
repeatedly asserted that the reason why the DO
tato is now suddenly attacked by maady, which
at one'time threatened its extinction, is that it
has degenerated; and on all sides we hear of
recommendations that new varieties of the potato
should be Immediately raised from seed
In this, as in all other matters, it is easy to
make assertions; but before we give assent to
them, we must ask for some proof of their truth.
DO the gentlemen who clamor for new varieties.
know which are the old varie les now cultivated
and which the new? Have they any proof that
the old varieties have suffered in any peculiar de-
gree, or that the new varieties have escaped p
Can they point out any one instance among pota-
toes in which facts support their views! We
think not.
DR. Maclean, gentleman skillful in all horti
cultural affairs, raised but the other day, seed
ling potato of great yigor and excellence its pro-
duction is so recent that few persons vet possess
it at ALL With this variety, portion OF an old
meadow newly trenched over, near London, was
planted in the autumn of 1874 and spring of 1916,
no manure being used The crop as so much
attacked by the disease, that not a single potato
was found worth preserving.
In reality there is no proof in any part of the
vegetable kingdom that the races Of plants wear
out. Such an opinion was entertained indeed,
by the late Mr. Knight, and his views have been
adopted by some Psychologists. Yettheee is not
oily no proof of their correctness but the strong
est presumption to the contrary 1t is superhu-
Gus to say that the Golden Pippn apple is the in
stance on which this theory mainly turns. 1t is
said that it has worn out, and can no longer be
cultivated. But the Golden Pippin still appears
adundantly in Covent Garden Market; trees as
healthy as ever are to be found in this country;
we ourselves have seen it in Ireland, where there
is no symptom of its decrepitude, ana in Madeira
it is in robust health. The wearing-out theory,
therefore, falls to the ground.-Proj. Lin Ed
Gard Chron.
