the gambler is preemnensy uch one. His
calling is the most disrrpusable known, and no

of a gamblers bosom, indeed He'll lights up no
81 CHI ravenous fame within earthly precincts as
burns within that lurid and sitting bosom. Is is
the persuasion of many persons, that, WHEN men
die, or 60 into the spiritual world, they find law
universally operative, which makes the outward
aspect of man ihslIibly attest to other eyes bis

masks of 81 mulated virtue, and whatever delusive
shows of success he msy have passed through life,
will drop his masks one after another. snd finally
stand forth an imsee of loatbsome deformi'y and
decrepi,ude. If our readers share these pbilo-
sophie persuasiops, we would rather trust to
their imsgina,ioIs than to our own feeble pen, to
paint the outward llneamenss commensurate with
the foul and yenomous nature of the professional
