Mr.. Broderick soon aseertained how il had

The First Lesson in Gambling.

Where there are great collections Of
people there are always bad and foolish
people among them. 1t was at Bridge
port, where the State Fair was held last
week. Outside the grounds, behind or
within tents and booths, were many who
gambled, and led others to do so. Now,
it is very simple thing to gamble, so
simple, and so often appears so fair, that
many boy is led to take his first step be-
fore he knows it.
There was behind one oyster stand, cir
Gle Of men and boys; on the ground sat a
poor, degraded, dissipated man, poorly
clad, looking sick and weak. He held in
his hand several iron rings, and before him
was board with large nails driven in it,
which stood upright. A clear-faced. bright
eyed, handsome little fellow, we'll dressed
and well-behaved, stepped up to him. He
was just such boy as is prompt at day
school; and always has his lesson at sun
day school and such a boy as will always
be a favorite with his companions, for his
good heart, his kindness and unselfshness.
He showed this all in bis face as he stepped
up to the man and said, ''What's that
for?''
"Give me a cent and you may pitch one
of these rings, and if it catches over a nail
I'll give you six cents"
That seemed fair enough, SO the boy
handed him cent and took the ring
He STEPPED back TO the stake, tossed the
ring, and it caught one of the nails
''Will you take six rings to pitch again,
Or six cents"
''Six cents" was the answer and two
three-cent pieces were put into his hand,
and he stepped off, we'll satisfied with
what he had done, and probably not having
any idea that he had done wrong.
A gentleman standing near, had watch
ed him, and now, before he had time to
look about and rejoin his companions, laid
his hand on his shoulder.
"My lad, that is your first lesson in
gambling!''
Gambling, sir?''
"You staked your penny and won six.
Did you not?"
eyes, / did,
"You did not earn them, and they were
not given you; you won them, just as
gamblers win money You have taken
the first step in the path that man has
gone through it, and you see the end
Now, | advise you to go and give him six
cents back and ask him for your penny,
and then stand square with the world, an
honest boy once more"
"He had hung his head down, but raised
It quickly, and his bright, open look, as he
said, ssI'll do it, will not be forgotten.-
He ran back, and soon emerged from the
ring looking happier than ever. He touch
ed his cap and bowed pleasantly, as be ran
away to join his comrades.

That boy was HoNEsT-honest to himself,
honest in his impulses, honest in his inmost
soul. He did not stop to think-that gen
tleman does not know me, and I shall
make a better use of the money than that
poor gambling vagabond so I'll just say
nothing about it, but keep it, but keep
what | have fairly won. No, he was true
to his inmost soul and he did right, as if
he was used to doing right, and as if it
were no hardship. That is true honor and
honesty-not, whether it is necessary or
not, whether anybody will know it; but
to be honorable for honor's sake, truthful
and honest for the love of it. Who does
not love transparent characters anywhere,
everywhere, in boys or girls, in young or
old.-H0mesteod.

Eloquent and Patriotic.

In the United States Senate last week,
during the discussion of the bill to admit
Minnesota into the Union as State, Sen
ator Crittenden made a truly noble speech
After powerfully opposing the proposition
to defer further action upon the bill until
Kansas should be ready for admission, he
gave expression to the following senti-
ments:
With all these arguments and views and
in almost every argument and controversy
that l now witness on this floor are min
gled, to give them strength and point,
either prognoities of the overthrow of this
government, threats against its existence.
Ihls is the common strengthening means
now thrown into every argument, here
While we prize the Union, while we would,
L am sure, and the very gentlemen who
use this language would do all they could
to preserve and perpetuate the constitution
and the Union, there is not a day that we
are not doomed to listen here over and
over again to the threats OF its overthrow:
predictions thrown out, little prophecies
made that tomorrow, or at some day near
at hand this government is to be no more.
Sir, this is the most unfortunate and ominous
signal that exists in the whole country, in
! my opinion. If such language can be fa-
milary used and thrown into every argu-
ment as make weight-as dust in the
balance, if these threats can be made here
against the existence Of the Union, and if
| they can have any effect upon the people
OF this country, then indeed, sir, we may
we'll apprehend that it cannot last long
| | hope it will last forever and if no body
threatened it until [ did, it would last for
| 4 I VI,
| sir, and will last much longer than gentle
fection, and meditation, believe to be SO
near at hand and it would last much long
er, perhaps, but for these medtatons-
/ They prize it SO highly, that the remotest
| danger affects them; and they forthwith
! begin to prophesy that its end is near at
hand or they are provoked at something
| which they think is adverse to the inter
ests Of the Republic and the Union, and
then they threaten; but all this is promot-
| ing the very purpose and the very end
against which [ know, in their heart, they
are opposed and with their hands would
oppose.
We should do well, think to throw out
| Of our ordinary course OF argument these
threats and these prophesies [ believe the
! Union is to live, not because | wish it, or
YOU wish it sir, but it is to live for ages
| believe it is enshrined in the hearts of the
people, and they will be its sustainers and
maintainers even if we are recreant to
the part we are to act and desire its over
throw. 1t is not in our power--thank
God it is not in the power OF the Senate
or of the Congress OF the United States, to
overthrow this government and l rejoice
in it.

Honesty the Best Policy.

Nothing is more essential to the busl
ness man for success in his mercantile pur
suits, than the establishment upon sub
stantial basis, his business position and
his character for honesty and straight for
ward dealings. This position once attained
in the community, success is always sure
to follow his business operations. With
out it he becomes like the consumptiye pa
tient, always ailing, and subject to the at
mospheric changes of the hour. In the
morning he lives-is known in the even
ing, dead-torgotten. lie is only referred
to as a warning to others, avoid his mis-
tekes and steer clear of his errors while
the honest merchant prospers from day to
day, becomes beloved an respected by the
community in which he moves. Success
crowns his labors, and when the hour Of
his earthly departure comes he dies regret
ted, and his memory ever remains green,
as monument of worth, of honesty, and
the three elements of success. The old
proverb, that "honesty is the best policy"
is verified over and over again through
out the world, and no man who has adopt
ed the principle from the love of it, has
ever repented for his choice While thou
sands upon thousands have too late seen
the mistake of neglecting its admonition,
and thereby pursued the shadow for the
substance.
Honesty is the best policy, and the more
thoroughly it is brought into every minute
transaction of life the greater the success,
, both in worldly as we'll as spiritual gains.

perience has shown to have been not un-
wisely bestowed. He left order where he
had found confusion, harmony instead Of
discord, a Government of law where he had
found one of influence, and for divided
counsels and the weakness Of separate ac-
ton in the States he substituted union Of
them all, and com bined a sufficient strength
to accomplish the purposes Of their gener-
al welfare and their common good: The
constitution was placed in his hands dry
parchment, a skeleton form. He breathed
into that form the life which gave it mo
ton, and organized a social system which,
was fitted to the healthy discharge of all
the functions that are necessary to a high
and progressive civilization. Well might
he leave it to such deeds for themselves,
and to posterity to assign him his rank and
his order amongst the great names which
are the consecrated objects Of human love
and admiration in the pantheon of history.

limestone formation under the soil. Parts
Of families have emigrated to those regions,
and the result in the next generation has

who left Massachusetts than in those who
