companied by meanness and all The rts.y

8. The man who hopes TO enrich HIM
self suddenly, without honest industry,
differs little from the gambler, whose for
tune is .taked upon the cast of a die. Vir-
tues without number hedge the path of
the industrious aud persevering laborer.
Perhaps fond wife and children are to
be supported. Prefaced thus. we give this
maxim: Let gambling in all its forms be
Stunned; from il no virtues spring, but on
the contrary. all the vices. Changes IN
lotteries and inoTdinate speculations are
other names for gambling. and are alike
