The Louisville Lottery.


Tie managers Of the drawings IN Louis
vile for the benefit Of the Public Libra
ry. OF Kentucky" admit that for thor
fourth drawing, which took place in that
CITY last Tuesday, they sold -. 900 tickets
at f ty dollars tickets. Their receipts
therefore were s2,250, 900. One.half of
this large sum they claim to pay out in
prizes. The other half, Sl,l23, 900, re-
miIns in their hands. Deducting Tor their
expenses in commissions to agents, &c..
$3.50 900, We may fairly assume that the
net p-otit Of this fourth drawing will amount
to s750,000.
Tnis three quarters Of Q million dollars
has been gathered from the toi,ing classes
in tie several states under the sanction of
Kentucky law to establish a public libra
ry from the profits oil system Of gambling
The isnoran. and the superstitious are lev
led upon to found literary institution in
ture of the men and women OF Kentucky
in general, and of Louisville in particular
The process is \ heavy drain upon the
scaRty means Of the poor, and they can see
for themselves tina. one of their number
who had been benefited by 1t is az bard to
ind as a greenhorn enriched by playing
with professional blscklegs. They Iay
thsi. EloneT and ge. nothing in return
This does not preveat them from investing
again when arttully appealed to. The same
passion that carries the dupe back TO the
s~ea'-cloth controls them, though a differ.
ent name is given TO it, aud it is cultivated
by legislative enactment.
No doubt if the shelves CT the public H.
brary in Louisville were examined by ex-
ports, The opinion Of our correspondent
uoiId be confirmed that they contain about
ffisen thousand volumes of mainly wort h.
less books. Yet these books, with the lib
rary bnilding. represents the profits Of the
three previous drawings. The $750,0G0
profits Of the fourth drawing, If juiiciously
expended, would render the library one of
the largest and best in the world, But
when the next drawing comes around the
improvements in the library will probably
not be reraeptab!e. Besotten by system
Of s~indlins, which is beyond the reash of
daylight, it Is an absolute sham, and eunless
it can be sustained by come other means
than by robbing the masses, it viii stand
as a monument Of shame.

Sunday Night.

Fix M the parlor. Kindle the fire. there

Smooth the siikcn hair and wait. A step.
All! little sirl-you know whose step =
The heart trembes Ike q little birl-tle
e.es wander from object to object, and
then to your own LITTLE self. A rap on tie
door what a timd little rap! And you
pretend not to hear it, thosgh the tap of Il
feather would be audiable. Another rap
Oh! y hard listening, you distinguish the
the sound. Singular ! and how surprised
you are to be sure! Never dreamed Of his
coming, Take caro-, little one Eyes talk
!ouder than do liy.H
The paFlor looks CHEEKY. Two Of the
pickets are called in from the sides of the
ron. CT course youi guest must be eD-
teftained. Time lies-he counts the beads
off his necklace of minutes wonderfully
fast the clock in the other room ticks
away the moments its hands slowly craw
mp AS If to pass over the door. The fire
burnes and cTackes in its p,ison. The old
folks file to bed, to wonder what YOU arc
taking ab0u', ard to think of their spark
ing days. The cl,ck talks its "take care,''
.tuke care - sake care :" now ibnd, nov

The times are hard. Grim panic stalks
through the Land. The lamp wastes oil.

cannot sre as plain al when the chairs come
closer together. lIark The faithful old
clock, with its hands over lis face 80 as not

will 20 down into each others mystic
depths. Oh, why does time hy so fast,
The wood Lo1 is cmpty! The largs lamp
has draak down the oil most wonderfully,
and the wick looks AS if drenched in pow

crevices you wonder where the hours have
fed. Listen. The old clock says louder
than ever, "take care !" bu, :galn the eyes
speak what the lips have no. time to, and
out on the old ocean Of time floats Sunday
