into the tomb, and that ALL Of them
who got rich by speculation died poor.
The gambling spirit once acquired can
never be checked and must end in ruin
and the spirit of the rings is that of
the gambler. There died recently in
Europe in extreme poverty, Garcia,
who was once the most noted gamester
of the world and almost equal to the
Rothschilds in point of fortune. For
several years before death, he was
a waiter in hotel.
A wiser man than Beecher has
taught the same lesson. "He that h; s.
eth to be rich hath an evil eye and
considereth not that poverty shall
come upon him" Again, Solomon
says: :" He that hasteth to be rich shall
not be innocent" or, as the margin
renders it, shall not be unpunished.
The wise man teaches that the seem
ing prosperity from ill-gotten riches is
but the prelude to a shameful down
fall: 1.-The prosperity of fools shall
destroy them" There is that
maketh himself rich yet hath nothing"
p" He casteth away thesubstance of the
wicked"
Honest poverty is preferable to the
sharpers wealth. The substance ac-
quired by honest industry is generally
an enduring inheritance that acquired
by dishonest means is transient and
perishing.-1he Southern Home.

NEVER TENT A MAN.

The late celebrated John Trumbull,
when boy resided with his father,
Governor Trumbull, at his residence
in Lebanon, Connecticut, in the neigh
borhood of the Mohegans. The gov
ernment of this tribe was hereditary
in the family of the celebrated I'm
cas-. Among the heirs to the chief
tainship was an Indian named Zacha-
ry, who, though brave man and an
excellent hunter, was as drunken and
worthless an Indian as could we'll be
found. BY the death of intervening
heirs, Zachary found himself entitled
to the royal power. In this moment
the better genius of Zachary assumed
sway, annd he reflected seriously.-
How can such drunken wretch as |
am aspire to be chief of this noble
tribc2 What will my people say?-
How shall the shades OF my glorious
ancestors look down indignant upon
such a successor? Can | succeed to
the great Uncas? Aye-I will drink
no moreW And he solemnly resolved
that henccforth he would drink moth
ing stronger than water; and he kept
his resolution.
Zachary succeeded to the rule of
his tribe, 1t was usual for the Gov
ernor TO attend the annual election in
Hartford, and il was customary for the
morgan chief also to attend, and on
his way to stop and dine with the Gov.
crnor. John, the Governors son, was
but boy, and on one of these occa.
sons, at the board occurred scene
which | will give in Trumbull's own
words
"Onc day the mischevous thought
struck me to try the sincerity of the
old mans temperance. The family
were seated at dinner, and there was
excellent home brcwed ale on the la
bic, | thus addressed the chief: Zach
airy, this beer is very fine will you not
taste it?" The old man dropped his
knife, and leaned forward with stern
intensity of expression, and his fcrvid
eyes sparkling with angry indignation
were fixed upon me. John, said he
you don't know what you are doing.
You are serving the devil, boyl DO
you know that | am an lndian2 II !

stop till got TO rum, and Ishould be
come again the same drunken, con
tcmpiiblc wretch your father rcmcm-
bers me to have been John, never
again while you live tempt man to
break a good resolution"
Socrates never uttered more yalu-
able preccpt. Demosthenes could not
have given il with more solemn clo-
quence. was thundcrstruck. My
parents were deeply affected. They
looked at me and then turned their
gaze upon the venerable chieitain with
awe aud respect. They aiterwsrd fire.
quently reminded me Of the scene and
charged me never TO forget il. He lies
buried in the royal burial place OF his
tribe, near the beautiful fall of the
Yantic, in Norwich, on lands owned
by My friend, Calvin Goddard, ESD.

above his mouldcringrcmaius repeated
to myself the inestimablc lesson.

THE OLD lIoNEssEAD.
ny ISABEL KNOWLES.

I've wandered far in foreign lands.
I've crossed the deep blue sea,
But found no place on earth SO dear
AS my old home to me-
1t was cottage old and low,
Upon grassy hill;
And right below, noisy stream
Carried tho busy mill.
Close by the house tho old barn stood,
The orchard just below,
And rich, ripe frult, bright red and gold,
Just like the sunset glow;
The old woodshed, with It's low roof
The courthouse, too, was near,
The water there, from the old well,
Was ever cool and clear.
And often when q boy I've roamed
The fields and meadows low,
And cullcd the tiny buds OF spring,
The tiny violets blue.
I've searched the pastures far and wide,
With eager, busy feet,
And found amid their bright, green leaves
The tender berries sweet.
All those happy days of childhood,
Once so free from care and pain,
And the many boyhood pleasures,
They will never come again.
But though away in distant lands
Wherever may roam.
I'll not forget that dear old place,
My childhood's happy home.

GREELEY AND THE DEMOCRATIC

GREELEY AND THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.-Gov. Randolph, in speech
before the New Jersey Democratic
Convention, made this point:
II know that we shall be charged
with placing our fc-long opponent at
the head of our column in the day OF
an almost assured victory. All this
is true, but it is equally true that Mr..
Greeley will only take the leadership
of the party that elect him, after he
has pronounced himself fully in favor
of such fashioned Democratic
principles, as hostility to centraliza-
ton, opposition to Federal interfer-
cnce in State and local affairs, con-
dcmnation of the suspension of the
writ of habeds corpus, full support of
amnesty rigid adherence to civil re-
form, opposition to bayonet election
laws, and the like. Now, if Greeley
can accommodate himself to such un-
compromising Democratic views as
these, we can accept the conversion ;
and if it be triflle sudden and unex-
peeted, so was st. Paul's, you know,
yet, no one questioned the sincerity of
st. Paul's conversion, nor had occas-
ion to doubt it ever after"

BUFFALO BlLL.-There was a very
excellent audience at Washington Hall
last night to witness the first represent
alton of the sensational melodrama
entitled Buffalo Bill" considering the
Indictment state Of the weather. The
play abounds in good points and start
ling situations, but the stage here is 50
small that but little could be made OF a
drama that depends so much for success
on scenic effects as this one. We are
satisfied that Washington Hall stage
and scenery are not calculated for
meloirama. 1t was simply ridiculous
to be obliged to represent the city o. st.
Louis and the wilds of Kansas and
Minnesota with the same scene. The
play contains real merit, and with
proper surroundings would be very
attractive. 1t will be produced for the
second time to night, when W" hope to
see the house crowded.

CAN II Be POSSIBLE Pin yesterday :
Intelhigenccr we find the following, that

apology. In speaking Of tie mass
meeting Of the Odd Fellows Mutual
Aid Association, to have been held
last night, the Mts!ligcacer says:
THE wives OF those members who
are so fortunate as to be married have
been invited"
Is it possible that there are members
who have wives and are yet so unfortu-
nate as not to be married? We knew
that Odd Fellows generally are au odd
set, but we didn't think that there was
one of them who had a wife TO whom
he was not married, or that, if it were
so, the fraternity would be so ex-
elusive as to invite none but those
wives who are so fortunate as to be
We have thus far held the
fraternity Of Odd Fellows in high
regard, but now we shake our head and
sigh. IT'S a sad, wicked world"
