Gambling,

The Chicago Times for once hits
the nail on the head, when, in criti-
cising the bulls and bears Of Wall
street, it says: call these operators
are gamblers, in tho fullest sense of
the word; and their transactions are
gambling, pure and simple.
"The difference between, say, a
game of faro, as played by John Nor
rissey, George Holt, or John G. Hee-
nan, and a game of stocks, as played
by Vanderbilt, or Fisk, is all IN favor
Of the former. The matter of fair
ness, the chances of not being robbed,
the prospects Of not being reduced
to beggery, all lean to tho game in
which you bet on the layout of Nor
rissey, rather than to the onein which
you bet on the layout of Vanderbilt.
Why? Because the game of faro, as
dealt by square" gamblers is one in
which the outsider knows precisely
how many chances are in his favor,
and how many are against him. He
invest his money on ascheme in which
he bets that 100 chances will not be
overcome by 116. But when he
places his money on Mr.Vanderbilt's
table, he knows absolutely nothing Of
what percentage of chances he has
to overcome. The dealer has no re-
strictions whatever upon his actions.
"In view of this state of things, it
is but justice to say that, of the two
classes of gamblers, Messrs Morris
sey, Holt, and Heenan are vastly less
injurious to society than Messrs Van
derbilt and Fisk. Still because the
world has fallen into the absurd prac-
tice Of calling the former gamblers,
and tho latter operators, these are
considered honorable, and those dis
reputable.
"Were people to call these bulls and
bears Of New York, and their kim
dredeverywhere, by their right name,
-gamblers,-it would do more to-
ward remedying the wrongs they
perpetrate, than any amount of SER
monizing or adverse legislation.
There is q vast amount of reforma-
tory force in name. Let the term
gambler be inexorably applied to
every man who is engaged in betting
on stocks, and fuctuStlons in value,
and Mess than year three-fourths of
such men would be driven into some
honest occupation. These gamblers
flourish and are tolerated simply be-
cause they pass under an alias that
has no suggestion OF their real pro-
fession."

THE FouNDER or Tur Fn1ro. !

The FOUNDER OF THE Fulton ST.. |
PRAYER MEErINa.-"The Hermit IN
New York" writes to the Trov
Times!
The 28d Of September is q bapnv
day at least to one individual. Tb;s
is our dear friend Jeremiah Lanphier
who founded tho Fulton street noon.
day prayer meeting. Yesterday |
might have said he was in his glory,
but this term does not apply to n per.
son Of humility. Brother Lanphier
II one OF the worms that God uses to
thresh the mountains. When the
Almighty was about to shake up the
religious word he passed by the d.
DIS and the big guns and took. the
poor street missionary, Yesterday
was the twelfth anniversary of tho
Fulton street prayer meeting, and
leaving Wall street l made my way
to the old church where it is held.
What 9 contrast to the gold room !!
Here all was peace and tranquility,
only broken BY the fervor Of piety.
The church was crowded. Old Doc.
tor Dewitt and others of what are
called "eminent men," sat at the head,
and while l was iu, Mr.. Anderson,
the Baptist clergyman, was holding
forth, but the master spirit of all was
the tall, attenuated and calm faced
man who led the singing. If brother
Lanphier dies before me ask him to
remember me in his will to the fol-
lowing effect:-His gift of sacred
music, his unearthly philanthropy
and his happy frame of mind. His
piety he will take with him, but he
has shown to me and to thousands of
others where it is to be obtained.
These requests would value above
silver and gold, as brother Lanphier
himself does. Lanphier has shown
how much can be done by humble ef-
fort. He was bred to the tailor
trade, and carried on business for
years, but was never in his element
till he became missionary. Among
the first things he ever did in this
new field WAS to found the Fulton
street prayer meeting, which has
made him famous, and had he been
like other men would have made
him proud.

The Kissing Deacon.

III one vi our purltanlcal Towns OF |
New England, says an Eastern pa.
per, lived Deacon Brown, a very dig
nified sort ola Christian, a perfect
model Of ptopriety. Deacon Brown
had the misfortune to lose his wife,
and at the age of forty had found
himself with family Of four small
children, without q mistress to his
farm house. As he could not imme-
diately take another wife and avoid
exciting scandal, and could not get
along without some enc to. tnke
charge Of the kitchen and nursery,
he hadrecourse to employing a young
woman as housemaid.
Nancy Stearns was a laughing,
romping beauty who delighted in ex.
perimenting upon the Deacon by
way Of testing the strength of human
nature. For q long time the Deacon
was invulnerable +; but at last, in q
moment Of unguarded weakness, no
was led into temptation, and commit
ted slight indisoretion' with his
beautiful housemaid. When he re.
covered his wonted GOODNESS and
presence ofmind, he was Mortified at
the enormity Of his sin. In vain he
repented and grieved Of lost virtue.
Finally. as last. effort of easing his
conscience, at the services on the fol-
lowing Sabbath morning he arose
and requested the forbearance of the
brothers and sisters for few mo-
ments, whom he electrified them by
making the following confession:
"My christian friends, you know
that / lost my wife some months ago,
(sobs and tears), and that Nancy
Stearns has been keeping house for
mo. And you know that l have a
little child not q year old. Well,
sometimes that child would cry in
the night, and it would be q long time
before l could quiet it, and last Tues.
day night-God forgive mol-the
child cried so hard that Nancy arose
and came into the room, and leaned
over the bed to hush the child-and
brothors and sisters, herleaning over
me there made me forget Christ"
"What did you dor" demanded the
minister sternly.
M-I-ki-ssed herl" stammered
out the deacon between his sobs, "but
have been very sorry about it, and
prayed to be forgiven, and I want
you to forgive me, brothers and sis
ters."
As the Deacon bowed himself upor
his seat like the mighty oak before
the tornado, Deacon Goodfellow arose
and astonished the audience still
more by seying:
brothers and sisters. you have
heard what brother Brown haze said
now he wants our forgiveness. Fol
my part I believe brother Brown il
truly pertinent, and l am willing Il
forgive him with my whole heart
And brothers and sisters, l will ado
still further, that if I had no wife, ant
q pretty girl like Nancy Stearn
should come into my room, and leal
over my bed, and lean over me, IL
kiss her, sin or no SIM"

The late W. r. Stearns. n nrom,

The late W. r. Stearns, q prom,-
nent lawyer of Springfield, Ill.,, left
directions, written week before his
death, in regard to his burial. The
body was to be clothed in linen, then
wrapped in sheet, and paper col
lar with black ribbon capped around
the neck, and laid in coffin made of
plain boards, without paint, stain, oil
or varnish, but covered with cheap
black cloth, with black handles. and
no sllver-headed nails. A cheap
plate and some flowers were to rest
upon the top. He wished to avoid
al unnecessary expense, for he says
in his manuscript that vny funds re.
naming would be needed by tho liv-
ing, and the good clothes had bet
ter be for them.
