CHARLES LAMBS WARNING.-Charles
Lamb tells his sad experience as warn
ing to young men, in the following Ian
guage:
"The waters have gone over me- But
out of the black and dismal depths, could
| be heard, [ would cry out to all those
who have but set a foot in the perilous
flood. Could the youth to whom the flavor
of his first wine is delicious as the open
ing scenes of life, or the entering upon
some newly discovered paradise, look into
my desolation and be made to understand
what a dreary thing it is when a man shall
feel himself going down a precipice with
open eyes and passive will-to see his
destruction and have no power to stop it,
and yet feel it all the way emanating from
himself; to see all goodness emptied out of
him, and yet not able to forget time
when it was otherwise; to bear about the
piteous spectacle of his own ruin; could he
see my fevered eye, feverish with the last
nights drinking, and feverishly looking
for to,night's repetition of the folly; could
he but feel the body of the death out of
which 1 cry, hourly, with fecbler outcry,
to be delivered-it we're enough to make
him dash the sparkling beverage to the
earth in all the pride of its mantling temp
tation." s-.....' ....'-
If you have young friend who may be
in danger of acquiring an appetite for strong
drink, invite his attention to Charles
Lambs dreadful experience.

How Sal Disgraced the Family.


A traveller in the State of Illinois, some
years ago, came to lone log hut on the
prairies, near Cairo, and there halted. He
went into the house of logs. 1t was a
wretched affair, with an empty packing
box for table, while two or three old
chairs and disabled stools graced the re-
ception room, the dark walls of which were
further ornamented by display of dirty
tin ware and broken delf article or two.
The woman was crying in one corner,
and the man with tears in his eyes and a
pipe in his mouth, sat on stool, with his
dirty arms resting on his knees, and his
sorrowful-looking head supported by the
palms of his hands. Not word greeted
the interloper.
"Well," he said, "you seem to be in an
awful trouble here; what's up ?"
ooh, we are most crazed, neighbor,"
saie the woman; "and we amt got no pa
tience to see folks now"
"Thats all right" said the visitor, not
much taken back by his polite rebuff; "but
can be Of any service to you in all this
trouble Z"
DWELL, we've lost our gal our SAILS
gone off and left us, said the man in tones
of despair.
"Ah, do you know what induced her to
leave you ?" remarked the new arrival.
"Well, we can't say stranger, as how
she'd so far lost as to be induced, but then
she's gone and disgraced us" remarked the
afflicted father.

it as is her mother, but there want a

mother.
"Who has she gone WITH" asked the
visitor.
DWELL, TIERS the trouble. The gal could
have done well, and might have married

Can the Dead Win at Cards.

A very curious law case came recently
before a German court, arising from the
following circumstances
A gentleman sat at faro table in the
town of Kothen, in Saxon, playing with
the usual attention and silence. Several
plays were made, and the cards which the
gentleman continued unchangingly to put
forward, won repeatedly The gold push
ed towards the winner by the croupier,
however, was not drawn by him, and after
several more accumulations had made the
pile inconveniently large, the keeper of the
bank rather angrily requested the FORUM
ate man to take in his money. With his
eye fixed on his card, the player took no
notice of the request.
