the colors or the numbers, without any sont-
ment or idea of the wrong Working men
aud servants, as | thought, brought their
earnings TO try the chances of the table
Some men aud some ladies would play for
hours, aud not leave the place till the bank
closed, or till their last cent was gone. The
bankers sat with umoved countenances, and
as fast az each throw was decided would rake
in the lost money, aud push out that which
had been won On every throw hundreds
and thousands Of francs changed hands Some
played with perfect coolness some with cx-
citement that could not be restrained. some
with wild desperation. One young man
stood at the table with his young wife, both
extremely interesting in their appearance,
aud played heavily and swiftly. or on many
numbers at once Almost every turn would
double his stakes, and he had filled his own
aud his wiles pockets with silver aud gold in
very few minutes The delight Of success
fairly crazed him. He played deeper, aud in
few minutes all he had was gOne. Then he
took from his wife again aud again. She
tiled to persuade him to stop, but stop he
could not till every cent was lost. Then his
wife led him off. Ia the evening he came
again with his wife and one hundred francs
The first throw it was all gone,--thc very best
thing that could have happened to him Two
young men, Russians, have been playing very
deeply for two days and have lost all they
have staked. One young man, of humble
means, played a thaler at a time, until not a
cent was left A lady played until she had
filled her pockets, and then with unusual self.
possession rose and left the table. 4 girl Of
seventeen years, who had been hutterng
round the table all day with few franc pieces
in her hand, yentured to stake it at 10 O'Clock
in the evening. She won. and again and
again She tried her luck, till she had won fifty
francs, and her mother then dragged her away
from the table, against her most excited pro-
test She has got her taste formed, and her
slight success will make her a gambler for
life. From what have seen | can readily
believe all the stories that are told Of the in
fatuation and desperation of gamblers. This
is not q low place Of gambling, but a govern
ment institution Here the rich, the beauti-
ful, the princely congregate All the apph-
ances Of art arc used to enhance It's pleasure
aud TO increase It's respectability. Public
sentiment sustains it. II is accompanied with
the most fascinating pleasures and surround
