Grand Charity Csncerty and Ora
matte Concert.

: The Plymouth Glee Club will give their
Second Annual Charity Concert and Ora
matte Entertainment, at Balcony Hall, on
Thursday evening, January LIST, 1874.
The musical part OF the entertainment
will consist of the newest and best music
to be obtained, and the dramatic part is
in tue hands of our best amateur perfor-
mers. AS heretofore the entire proceeds
of the entertainment will be distributed to
the poor and needy of the city, by COM
mittee of well-known citizens. No free
tickets will be issued even the performers
will pay their own admission the same as
others. 1t is desirable that the receipts
be smaller to the highest possible point,
as "desolation far and wide" is kneeling
at the door of destitute humanity" Ev-
cry person in the city who can raise half
a dollar, should purchase at least one tick
ct, whether they attend the concert or
not. Those who are "afraid OF the hall :"
can thus aid worthy cause equally with
those who attend. Tickets will be for
sale few days before the concert.

Singular Wagers.

THE passion of man for games of hazard
is almost universal, and finds expression
in the most reckless, singular, comical,
| and not unfrequently silly wagers. A story
is told of well-known sporting character
in New York who was very low with fe-
yer. The doctor was standing by his bed
side watching the Pickering pulse, and
solemnly remarked to the weeping friends
that he would hardly live an hour, when
the dying man opened his eyes, the pas
sion of his life asserted itself even under
the shadows of death, and feebly whisper
ed his challenge to the physician "rll
bet you an even fifty that I'll live an hour
and quarter"
Hardly less curious and better authenti-
Gated instances of singular wagers can be
given. In 1856 a gentleman in New York
made a bet of $1,000 against $25 that his
opponent could not throw three skies of
dice twenty times in succession. He
threw them eleven times, and was offered
81 900 to withdraw, refused it, and missed
on the twelfth throw. About the year
1870 Lord Mountfort and Sir John Bland
staked twenty guineas a side upon the
lives of two men then in public life, the
former backing Beau Nash to outlve Col
ley Cibber, the comedian. The latter liv-
ed to 1867 and Beau Nash till 1851. A
quarter of century before the principals
of the wager had each died by suicide; but
the stakes were paid over to the heirs of
the winner
About the year 1900, when Internal ma
chimes, poisoned food, explosive grenades,
and other assassination plots seemed to
render the death of Napoleon almost
certainty, a party of English gentlemen
met at the house of Sir Mark Sykes, and
the conversation turned upon the PROBABLE
tiles of his speedy death, which some of
the company secuted as improbable. Sir
Mark, on the contrary, believed his early
death almost certain, and finally offered,
if any one would give him one hundred
guineas, to pay one guinea day as long
as Napoleon lived. The Rev. B. Gilbert
accepted the Offer paid his hundred
guineas, and for three years received the
guinea day, as stipulated. But after that
time the baronet grew tired of the in
cessant drain, and refused to longer pay.
An action was brought to recover, when
the court decided that as the wager
created an undue interest in the preserva-
ton of the life Of public enemy, and on
the other hand held out strong induce
ment to plot his assassination, it was
against public morals and therefore IL
legal.
Wagers have also proved fatal some
times to the unconscious subjects of them.
Sir Thomas Hoste of Ashton, riding home
from the chase one day with some friends,
began Boosting of the punctuality of his
| cook, and was so extravagant in hispraise
that some one proposed to bet fifty pounds
that he would not have the meal ready to
serve when they arrived Sir Thomas
greedily took the bet but on arriving home
was chagrincd to find that for the first
time in his life the cook was behind time
with his dinner. The baronet was so en-
ragged by the jeers of his friends that he
made his way to the kitchen, seized the
cleaver, which was lying upon the table,
and with one blow killed his unhappy
crVant.

a while. The world was made in six.
Have we made each others acquaintance
in that time?
/ am not sure If this be so. We have
talked together and laughed together and
possibly enjoyed ourselves together a
great deal We are, in a certain sense,
intimate. have had occasion to snub
him rather violently once or twice; he
has, within the bounds Of decent gal
lantry, done the same to me. have been
the recipient of few sweet speeches
from him-no coarse peppermint-drops
of complaint, if you please, but the rarer,
subtler, French bonbon description, made
palatable by all skillful devices on the
confectioner's part And he has met
gracious enough return, now and then, for
such courtesies.
Well, spite of all this, ! cannot SPY that
we are intimate; we know so little about
each others personal affairs as yet. Per
haps he, for his part desires no change in
this respect Or perhaps he is Quietly
letting matters take their own course.
Who shall say but that this afternoons
walk will make us know each 9th tr i'm
mensely better at its termination? don't
presume to think yes; but of I nth i
can't help sincerely hoping yes.
