The Young Victim-A
Sad Story Of Gambling.
$50 YOUNG, AND YET so LOST.

Young men, read the following narra-
tive, and let the solemn warning never be
forgotten.
We have already given one Or two il>
lustrations Of the sad effects Of gambling.
Their publication has, we have reason to
believe. not been without salutary effects.
The vice is, generally speaking, praetised
in secret, aud therefore it is that tie ruin,
despair, crime and suicide, which it so
Frequently causes, escape public notice
the surviving relatives and friends of the
victims being anxious to draw the veil
of the oblivion over the errors and infrm-
tiles Of the tempted and the lost. We
have, however, heard Of another case,
which seems to us fill of admonition.
1t bears, too, more particularly Upon the
errorr.ih which so many. indulge, that no
harm can arise from card playing merely
for amusement, or with triAe only at
stake.
A few years since, Mr.. Green, the re-
formed gambler; took passage on board a
steamboat at'Louisville, bound for New
Orleans. A short time after the boat
pushed eff, twas discovered that there
were no less than twenty gamblers on
board; and much dissatisfaction was ex.
pressed, because so many had chosen the
same boat. 1t was soon agreed that ten
or fifteen should return ashore at the
first opportunity, and wait for anosher
.boat. Sbertly after, this determination
was carried into effect, and it was while
sMr. Green was standing on the hurricane
deck, noticing the landing of portion of
.his old friends, that his attention was ar-
crested by young man, looking anxious.
;ly upon the departing gamblers. He
was pale and .agitated, and a. tear>drop
;Iylisteaed' in his eye, His whole appear
auce was so remarkable, that even Green
became excited and interested. He
sought the youth, and asked him whittier
he was goings lie replied that he "knew
not where" and, as if to sbun further no.

Confederate prisoners pass along Broadwa!
New York, en- route for Richmond:
Nc Haunting banners DER them wave,
No arms flash back the suis bright ray
No shouting crowds around them throng'
No musictcheefs them on their way;
They're going home. By adverse fate
Compelled their trusty swords to sheath;
True soldiers they, even tho dsarmed-
lUcroes, tho robbed Of vicory's wreath
nrove soutl.erners! with sorrowing hearts,
We gaze upon them through our tears
And sadly feel how vain were all
Their heroic deeds through weary years;
Yet mud their enemies they move
With firm, bold step aud dauntless nlen;
Oh, liberty, i'll every age,
Such have thy chosen champions beer.
Going home! Alas, to them the words
Bring Visions fraugIrt with gloom and woe
Since last they saw those cherished homes
Tic lcgions of the invading foe 81
Hath swept, like the simeon, along,
Spreading destruction far and wide.
'rfhey found garden, but they left
4 bowling wilderness behind.
All, in those desolated homes,
To which the ''fate ofwar has come;
Sad is the wccomc-poor the FEAST
That waits the soldier'e coming homo;
Yet loving ones will round lin lhrong,
With smiles more tender, if less gay,
And Joy will brighten paid cheeks
Al sight ofilse dear boys in gray.
Ave, give them welcome home, fair South.
For you they've made deathlrss name;
Bright through all after-time will glow
The glorious record Of their fame.
They made nation. What, tlWug! soon
Its radiant sun has seemed to set;
The past has shown what they can DO
The future holds bright promise yet
