Stricken Dead in a Gambling Hell.
A MAN FALLS DEAD IN A KENNo RooM-A
PITIABLE SPECTACLE.

elFrom the New Orleans Picayune, June 2O,l
About halfpast nine O'Clock last night an
unknown man fell dead at the gambling
house No. Go st. Charles street. AS usual on
Saturday night, the house was crowded 10
suiiocatlon. The young and the old, the rich
and the poor had gathered In to spend the
earnings of the week. The light of MANY a
brilliant gas-jet flashed over crowd of men.
earnest and eager in the passionate excite,
ment OF the game. Suddenly a tall, dark
looking man from one ofthe centre tables rose
from bis seat and walking few steps unstead-
ily fell back on the floor. One convused shud-
der passed through body and limbs. and the
man was dead; died from heart desease or
the excitement of gambling. For a single
moment a stiffness like death fell upon the
crowd, and then some one said he'd only faint
ed, and the game went on. But life was ex-
tlnct. Hes dead" some one cried and then
. men rose hastily from their seats and left the
room The game was stopped, and a little
circle gathered around the dead man on the
noor. The face had grown waxen ; the death
look had settled darkly around him. 1t was
foreign looking face-an Italian or Spaniard
and In life had been handsome, but now its
rigid lineaments wore sacred expression. as
lithe heart had struggled vainIy to live to
get out OF that bad place. Suddenly, all un-
prepared, the man was hurried into the pres,
inv " iais mdncI, ucdu, WIN the gameSter'S
passion fierce in his heart, with ali his evil
thoughts and guilt about him.
The. lights were turned low in the darken-
ed room, and the coroner's jury gathered
around the nameless dead. Below, in the
halls, the rattle of dice, the noise and strife of
gambling, broke. sadly on the ear. What a
contrast None seemed to heed the specta-
Gle above them, or take warning of the awful
Judgment SO suddenly pronounced. The
games went on, and the low voices Of the iu-
ry and the Witnesses were scarcely heard in
the uproar beneath. Men could not pause in
that eager strife of hazard. What if dead
man lay above? They were hazarding the
earnings that should be devoted to a family's
necessities-the bread, maybe, of their chill
dren. What need they care? ? The insanity
OF gaining ran riot in their veins. The pale
wites tears, the childfen's wall were harder
far to meet, ard yet meet themthey must,
for they had put their all upon the hazard
OF the cast. One can reconcile it to his
feelings to see death upon the battlefield:
death by flooe and pestilence; but death
IN gambling house seems out Of place
VINO cares for the dead man ?" some one
will say. "Take the fellow out-go on wish
the game" Atlast the inquest was over, the
dead man removed, and the brillianely light
ed halls again resumed the excitement of the
game; aud one entering the;e an hour after
wards would never suspect that death had SO
recently snatched victim from among them.

Miscellany.
The sin Of Tatilins.
By HENRY WARD BEECHER

A family have a sacred right TO privacy. In
guarding the delicate relations of the house
hold, secrecy becomes virtue. Even IL by
chance the private affairs of household are
laid open to a stranger. honor would require
him to turn from them, and if a knowlege of
them were forced upon him, they should he
locked in sacred silence.
A double obligation of silence and secrecy
rests upon one who is a guest in a family.
The turpitude of betrayal OF family history
by visitor, is far greater than theft would be-
TO pocket half dozen silver spoons would
do far less damage, produce far less suffering,
and be less immoral, than tale bearing. 1t is
a thing SO scandualous that it should degrade
person, and put him out of good society.
10 betray the secrets OF the household is not
only an odious immortality, but it is a sin and
shame to be On good terms with those who
are known to commit such outrages. They
.ale miscreants. They put themselves out of
the pale of decent society. They should be
treated as moral outlaws.
These hungry eyed wretches who sit in the
unsuspicious circle of parents and childfIn,
treasuring their words, spying their weakness
cs, misrepresenting their innocent liabilities OF
the household, and then run from house to
house wish their shameless news, are worse
than poisoners of wells or burners of houses.
They poison the faith OF man in man. If one
opens MS mouth 10 tell you Sucn things, with
all your might, smite him in the face! There
are two actions which justify you in instantly
knocking man down; the one is the act Of
pointing gun at you in sport, and the other
is the attempt to tell you a secret, which it is
disgraceful tor him to get, aud for yoa to hear.
Make no terms with such people. Tale-bear-
ers have no rights. They are common ene-
mics of good men. Hunt, hurry, and hound
them out of society ! They are the worst of
pests save one, and that is the listener to the
tale-bearer. 9Na.
There could be no tatling ii there were no
one TO hear. 1t takes an ear and tongue to
make a scandal. Greedy listening is as dis
honorale as nimble tattling. The ear is the
open market where the tongue sells its ill-got-
ten wares. Some there are that win not re-
peat again whatthey hear, but they are will
ing to listen to it ! They will not trade in con-
traband goods, but they will buy enough of
the smuggler for family usel
These respectable listeners are the patrons
OF tattlers. 1t is the ready marketzthat keeps
tale bearing brisk. 1t is shame TO listen TO
i'll OF your neighbor. Christian bene sOlence
demands that you do not love i'll news. A
clean heart and a true honor rejoice in kindly
things. 1t shonld be pain and sorrow TO
know of anything that degrades your neigh
Dor in your eyes even if he is your enemy !;
how much more il he is your friend?

MARRIAGE AFTER A Thirty THREE YEA RS
q FaAt ~ sffi ENG AG EAfEN,r NJ s. ~


Ees ~ sA ENGAGEMENT
[From the Grecnville Is. G. Enterprise, June 10
+ On Sunday last Miss Matilda Griffith, who
has long been a respected resident Of Green
vile, and Mr.. John Grant, of Ireland, were
married at the residence of the former by Rev
Z. I. Buist, d. ID.
Y The incident is pleasing one; a romantic
history attaches. Thirty-three years have fed
since the parties became engaged, nor have
they seen each other in that time, and during
long portion of it were ignorant of each
others whereabouts. They were both attach.
ed when mere children, in their native Ire.
land; but when the engagement became
known the families OF both were opposed 10 Il
from opposite religious views and that OF Mis-,
Griffith contriyed to send her, against her viii
to the United States. Mr.. Grant, all discon-
solate, enlisted in the British army, not being
aware at first whether the lady had gone. His
career as soldier continued tWenty-sx years
in the meantime he fought through the treri-
BILE Sepoy rebellion IN India, making as many
hairbreadth escapes Sin the imminent deadly
breaches as Othello.
de returned TO England some three or fouI
years ago, and having in the meantime had
some correspondence with the lady by letter
for his devotion never faltered-saiIed for
this country. She was on her voyage at the
same time to old Ireland and the ships pass
each other. He found his way to tie great
West and having been prostrated by cholera
and loosing the means brought with him, he
went to Montana to recruit. Last Friday he
arrived by the cars in Greenvile, suddenly
and unheralded, and forthwith sought the
house OF Miss Griffith, who knew him in
sstantly on sight, but he did not recognize hel
IN the same manner, for she had changed
from the fragile girl to the mature woman
OF course she was agitated and overjoyed as
he was, and, there being no longer any i'm
pediment, an immediate marriage was deter.
mined on. The result was their union on
Saturday, as before stated. They both have
the congratulations and the kindest wishes
OF the community and the good prospect
from apparent vigorous health, Of enioyina
many years OF happiness to crown their mu'
tuai and rare conslancy.
