CURED OF BETTING.
By WILLIAM MELVILLE.

MARK HANscoM was an inveterate hand
at betting. 1t had become second ma
ture with him. He had arrived at that
point of habit where even the most tri-
vial affairs called out his besetIing SIM
In no way could he express his firm belief
in anything, but by offering to bet on it.
Did anything come against his conviction,
his first words were, Come, | II bet you
something on that" Sometimes he
would be taken up, but oftener his antag-
onst would only smile at his ardor. For
Mark was ardent in this. When he said
"bet," he meant it, and he would stick to
it. At first this fault had not been fol-
lowed by any evil consequences, for he
was then careful, and won full as much as
he lost When we say eul consequences,
we mean results which he could feel'--
But as the habit grew stronger, he was
less careful in his bets, and at length he
offered wagers with utter recklessneSs.-

to find him Win at least dozen bets
with at lsasi IS amy individuals And
in all this he was perfectly conscientious.
He would as iiefbeen caught stealing, as
to sneak away from paying wager which
he had fairly lost.
Mark Hanson was now thirty years Of
age, and halter by trade, though he
had now opened store in the city, and
might have done good business. AS it
was, he made money enough for a good
living, and enough over to have laid up
two or three hundred dollars year,
could lie have kept it from slipping
through his fingers. He had wife and
two children, and surely there could not
have been a more kind and attentive hus.
band, nor a more fond and affecionate
father, SO far as his natural impulses guild
ed him. For be it understood, Mark sell
dom gave way to any other rule but that
of his own impulse.
"Well. well, Molly, here's a fifty spot
won to day." Mark said this to his wife,
one evening, as they sat alone in their
cosy sitting-room after supper.
"And who lost ?" Mary asked, with
cloud upon her handsome features.
"Sam Lowell"
"Samuel Lowell ?" repeated Mary,
with interest. "He is hardly able to
lose fifty dollars"
"That isn't my look out. bet him
fifty dollars that Popwell would be elect
ed, and he bet Popwell wouldn't be
elected, and Popwell is elected. and Sam
lost. But he faced the music like ma
jor,-paid up square,"
"Poor Hannah!" murmured Mary.
"And who is that 7" asked Mark,
slightly elevating his eyebrows.
"Lovell's wife. She was telling me,
only few days ago, that her little girl
was suffering for a cloak, but that she
didn't like to ask her husband for the

MOTHER, watch the little feet,
Climbing o'er the garden wall,
Bounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar, shed, and hall,
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time it costs
Little feet will 60 astray,-
Guide them, mother, while you may.
Mother, watch tie little hand
Picking berries by tho way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay,
Never dare the question ask
"Why to mo this weary task ?"
These same little hands may prove
Messengers Of life and love.
Mother! watch that little tongue,
+ Prattling eloquent and wild,
What is said and what is sung
by the happy, joyous child,
Catch the word whilo yet unspoken.
Stop the vow before it's BROKEN
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings on a Sayior's name.

Wholesome lessons now impart,

LOUIS NAPOLEoN's IDEAS ABOUT WAR Be-

Paris correspondent Of the n. Y. Herald, under
date Of Nov. 18th, says:
Our alarm has, in great measure, passed away,
and the language used by Napoleon at private
Soiree at ST. Cloud last night, would seem TO dissi
pate the smallest ground for fear. "Such war,
were his words lis not to be dreamed Of tor a mo.
ment. The whole Christian world would cry shame
upon il. We are in alliance with England for good
and i'll, but England would cut off her right hand
rather than strike blow at America" His Males.

An American party in 1899.

The Virginia Legislature seems to have been
in council in 1899, and to have spoken very dis
tinctly upon the foreign question. IT then,
these fearless hearts thought there was sufi:
Gent ground to apprehend danger to our insti-
tutions, from the presence of foreigners in the
councils of the nation, what would they now

Is it any wonder, (says the obile Meas

which passed the celebrated Virginia Resolutions
of 1898 and the Report OF l799-the great plat.

tons passed December "a, 1898, and the following
twenty-sx days after:
Preamble and Resolutions passed By The LegisLa-
tire of Virginia, on the 18th dag Of january,
1899:
'That the General Assembly, nevertheless con-
curing in the opinion with the Legislature OF Mas
sachusetts that every constitutional barrier should
be opposed to the introduction of foreigners into
our National Council:
"ResolUed, That the Constitution ought to be so
amended that no foreigner who shall not have ac

the time OF making this Amendment shall not there.

Thus spoke the Mother of States" upon one Of
the great principles of the American party, viz:
That foreigners should not be permitted either to
frame our laws or administer the same. They are
entitled to all the privileges of American citizenship
save the power to hold Office and dispense justice
In all other respects, they cheertuly accorded
by the American party the protection OF the same
laws they enact for their own protection. What
more, in the name of modesty, could they desire!
If there is foreigner throughout this broad land
who immgrated here with a view Of becoming an
Office holder or a law-maker, we would like to see
him pointed out! He would be perfect California

The South by a wise moderation, that will sacri-
fee nothing for which it has a right to contend,
whilst it sedulousy avoids unnecessary antagOnism
to the prejudices or wishes Of the North has the
power at the present session to strengthen immense
iy the cause of Union and sectional peace -Bditi-
more ABteric,u.
This is a pertinent reflection We heartily enc
dorse it Upon the only question which threatens
TO disturb the tranquility of tie Union, the South
now presents an uubTOken frlnt. IL is unity.
Let it see that the strength which this indivsiby
unity assures Is exerted with tact and patriotic
forbearance In the sectional controversy so dark
/ lv impending, the South plants itself immovable
upon the existing legislation, and demands only TO
be let alone Its position is purely aud exclusively
defensive one, and it has quietly yet firmly resov
ed to maintain it. It's attitude before the nation
and the world is bold, digniiei, and manly. We
wonld not have it change or abite this attitude by
hairs breadth. But beyond The most unfnching
fidelity 10 itself there lies a vide margin of policy
on which just, conciliatory spirit may hold the
excited chOrts of the North il party and away
aggression before our citadel approached. We
hope that such a concatory spirit will occupy this
margin effectively IL is madness to buster or
exasperate The times too critical for this. The
South requires but mastery self control to con-
vert the exigency into national blessing. IL needs
only wise discretion to fortifi its own rights i'm
pr-gnably, and with them the existence of the
Union itself An ancient poet has said that no
other protection is wanting, provided one Is under
the guidance OF prudence. IL becomes the south Ia
the present crisis aud in all future crises, to realize
the force of this saving Lou Jour.
