vile, was drowned in the canal, about

WHBAr.-We hear much complaint
about the winter wheat in this region,
being damaged by the rust. The warm
weather. accompanied with showers, which
has continued during the past three or four
weeks, has been the cause of the result.
The fields which were sown early, we
learn viii yield well. Farmers should
regard this. for the early sown wheat, in
nine cases out Of ten, yield the best
Spring wheat looks promising, and If the
weather should continue favorable there
will be an abundant yield.

A CROCODILE STORY.

Prince Puckler Muskau, in his new
work on Egypt, relates the following:
1t is not long since man from Berber
settled here, and was known TO all Of
us. One morning he led his horse TO
the Nile to water, and he fastened The
rope by which he held it round his arm,
and while the animal was quenching
his thirst he knel, down to prayer. At
this moment when he was lying with
his face upon the ground, crocodile
attacked the unhappy man, swept him
into the water with his tail, and swal-
lowed him. The terrified horse exer-
ted his strength to run away, and as
the rope, which was attached TO the
arm of his dead master in the stomach
of the crocodile, did not snap, and he
could not disengage himselffrom 1.-THE
affrighted animal not only pulled the
crocodile itself out of the water, but
dragged it over the sand to the door Of
its own stable, where it was soon kill
ed by the family, who hurried to the
spot, and afterwards found the dead
body Of the victim entire in the belly Of
the horrid monster. = l. * = -

GAMBLERS.

1t is mentioned in an exchange pa
per that there are now within the linn
its of Arkansas l thousand individuals
who are protested gamblers. A great
number, certainly, for the little State of
Arkansas! Greater, far greater, in
proportion to population, than in New
York or any other northern State.
We here have a few who follow
gambling as profession. The calling
isn't considered quite as respectable as
it is in some other parts Of the country,
anc hence persons are unwilling to
have it go abroad that they are pro-
fessional gamblers.
That the man who sits down by
himself and deliberately coneocts a
scheme which he intends shall operate
for his own political or pecuniary ad-
vancement-who is Indifferent in re-
gard to the interests of others, and in
tent solely upon his own-who COM
munes only with himself, lest he be
thwarted in his plans-who loves not
his fellow man and is destitute of hui
man sympathy-who looks upon his
species with the same feeling that the
gamester does upon his cards-as
things he can use for he attainment of
his own desires-that man is gam
bier. Il
In matters of trade there is a vast
deal of gambling. The buyer wishes
to obtain articles at the lowest possible
price. He does not care whether the
yender makes fair profit or no profit;
he is perfectly willing he should lose
by the sale, and feels rejoiced at the
preparation Of a wrong, so long as he
is the gamer by it. The seller, on the
contrary, is intent upon obtaining the
highest price. He is willing to mis-
represent the goods, as well as their
cost, if if he can make few pennies
byit; and it seems to do his very soul
good to get little start in trade. The
dealer who says to his customers, my
goods are so and SO, such are the prices,
and you can take them or let them a.
lone, is no salesman at all. He must
be skilled in the tricks of the trade-he
must be proficient in gambling-in
oder to be considered a good business
man.
The world, in our opinion, is pretty
much made of gamblers. We have
them among all classes, all trades, all
professions. Some are more bold and
braze nj faced than others; some pursue
the business in the face and eye of the
world, while others steal into garnet
or some .bye.place TO carry on their fa-
vorite vocation.
Who are the gamblers They are
those who strive to accomplish by
lrickery and deception what they can
not by open-handed, honest means
Whoever attempts to impose upon a
fellow creature, no matter how he does
it or why, is gambler-a gambler in
the sight Of Heaven-a gambler ac-
cording to the import fthe term among
men. Any man who will take advan-
,age ofanother's ignorance; any man
who knowingly disregards the golden
rule that which requires US to do unto

What might be done if men were wise
What glorious deeds, my suffering brother
Would they unite,
In love and right,
And cease their scorn of one another?
Expressions heart might be imbued
With kindling drops of loving kindness,
And knowledge pour
From shore to shore,
Light on the eyes Of mental blindness.
All slavery, warfare, lies and wrongs,
All vice and crime might die together;
Anc wine and corn,
To each man born,
Be free as warmth in summer weather.
The meanest wretch that ever trod,
The deepest sunk in guilt and sorrow,
Might stand erect,
In selfrespect,
And share the teeming world tomorrow.
What might be done? This might be done,
And more than this, my suffering brother
More than the tongue
Ever said or SING,
If men were wise and loved each other.
