the cold hands are crossed in silence and move
less forever; yet we know that "up there" he
shines with steady glory and we shall once again
see the beaming of those dark eyes, and feel the
clasp of his fingers, and hear him say again

! GAMBLING EOR GRAvE.-A correspondent
of the Boston Mail says that n few years since,
when the yellow fever was raging fearfully in
Florida, manager Forbes, with his theatrical
company, was performing in the town Of Apa-
| lachicoa, and the business of the theatre was OF
course ruined. Many of the performers were
stricken down. There were two of the number
whose cases were considered hopeless, after their
admission TO tho hospital. The grounds of that
Institution, at that time were cut up for graves
and our two actors, having become cony alescent
were allowed TO walk through the cemetery, for
such had the grounds become. Mound after
mound met their view, the newly turned earth
telling of recently inhuned victim of the
scourge. At last, two unoccupied graves were
before them. They were dug very each
other, yet over one only swayed large willow
giving mourntully picturesque appearance to
the spot The two friends were conversing to-
gether over the grim habitations, when, singular
as it may appear; a relapse occurred to each
They became as it were derious, and both
words ensued, but the sudden quarrel was stay

the raging of their feverheated brains the game
was played, the proposer of the game won the
stake, and the next morning his lifeess body
was laid beneath the willow. The loser at that
time is yet participant IN the game of life
