The New York Star, in an article
on betting, relates the following:
A distinguished physician called TO
attend an inveterate better, who was
attacked with a sudden and dangerous
illness, After a careful diagnosis, the
doctor assured him that his condition
was extremely critical, and his chances
OF recovery very doubtful. Thereat
the patient rallied somewhat, and the
following colloquy ensued:
eflll bet you hundred dollars, doc
tor. that / don't die.
Ny dear sir, you may not; but /
think il proper TO advise you that, in
my opinion, you will"
"Well. doctor, if l die will l go 10

Well now. doctor, when you die will

Il trust so. sir. "
And viii you have wings, too?"
Yes, l suppose I will. D
We'll. then. doctor. I'll bet you a
hundred dollars [ will out fly you"
The man died, but the doctor, who
has n ot yet taken the bet, is still living.
If, as some theorists hold, we take
with US into the new world the same
propensities which we have in this,
we have no doubt that all the betting
yOung Americans, and old ones too,

running around to make bets on the

whose ruling passion was strong in
death. .U

Change or symDatby,

The following article from the
Western C7s1astian Advocate, very
briefly and forcibly gives our views
with regard to the present status of
the Franco Prussian war:
THE CHANGE OF SYMPATHY. Pho
public feeling of this country, from
the beginning of theiwar Ia Europe.
was strongly inclined to sympathizs
with Prussia. There was substantial
reason for this, and the time has not
yet come for transferring our sympa-
thiss to the other party. True, the
circumstances have changed /; the EN-
pire has fallen, and a Republic has
been proclaimed; but then the Repub-
lie. although the only de fdcto govern
ment 10 France, aud entitled TO the
recognition il has received. Is only the
outgrowth of the calamity Of the ma.
ton, and has given no evidence Of
having a foundation in either the
intelligence or patriotism Of the
people, as o permanent thing.
It is natural for Americans TO hail
with delight every movement loot-ine
toward the establishment of liberal
governments, and the displacement
Of despotisms. but In following this
laudable impulse it is we'll TO exercise
wisdom and prudence, rs we'll as to
cherish liberal sentiments. The glory
of republics Is in their perfect reali-
cation of the ideal of their wisest
statesman. Ifthey fail ia this, they
fall short of their design, and every
abortive effort to establish them de-.
lays the period OF their ultimate
triumph. We believe In giving this
French experiment fair trial, and
ardently wish it might prove success
ful IN establishing civil and RELIGIOUS
liberty In that fair land, but we are
not ready to shout over its achieve
ments. As we said last week. Ill first
step, on which it seems to stake ito
very existence, was q blunder. g It es
Poused the war and the quarrel of
Napoleon, and ayowed its ability and
purpose to drive the invaders from
the soil Of France. There is reason
to suspect that the enemies of repnh-
hoanism went into the arranReme,,t
of q temporary republic. with the ex-
pectatioE of its failure, and a. fha
best means of accomplishing the rcs-
toration of the Bourbons. q -
The requirement that King William
should Pause at once. and seek for q
adjustment, as soon as Napoleon was
taken, seems to as unreasonable. II
could hardly be expected, under the
circumstances that he would do less
than follow up his victories until
Paris Is invested, and his forces "a
disposed that he can control fba' ST.,
alton without special hazard Of fail
ure.. This accomplished. it will fban

70 THE READER.

The above map explains itself.
The idea OF this is not original with
me, but is borrowed from the Tribune
and other great metropolitan journals.
| claim no other merit for this pro-
duetien (if may so cali IT'D, than that
it is accurate. The main bIemish of
the city paper maps, of which it is an
imitation, is, that in them more atten-
ton seems paid to artistic picturesque
ness than geographical reliability.
Inasmuch as this is the first time l
ever tried to draft and engrave map,
or anything in the line Of art at all,
the concentrations the work has re-
ceived and the admiration it has ex-
cited among the people, have been
very grateful to my feelings. And It
IS touching to reflect that by far the
most enthusiastic of these praises have
come from people who know nothing
at all about ART.
By an unimportant oversight 1
have engraved the map 50 that It reads
wrong end first, except to left-handed
people. forgot that in order to
make it right in print it should be
drawn and engraved upside down.
However let the student who desires
to contemplate the map stand on his
head or hold it before her looking
glass. That will bring itright.
The reader will comprehend ct q
glance that that piece OF river with
the High Bridge over it got left out
to one side by reason Of slip of the
craving tool which rendered it neces-
sary to change the entire course of the
river Rhine or else spoil the map.
After having spent two days in digging
and gouging at the map, would have
changed the course OF the Atlantic
Ocean before | would have lost so
much work. u
I never had so much trouble with
anything in my life as / did with this
map. i had heaps of little fortifca-
tions scattered all around Paris. at
first, but every now aud then my in
struments would slip and fetch away
whole miles of batteries and leave the
vicinity as clean as if the Prussians
had been there. "a .er -ea
The reader will find it well to frame
this map for future reference. SO that
it may aid in extending popular intel
ligence and dispelling the wide spread
ignorance of the day. E 81 &. Il
