MORALITIE.S OF GAMBLING.
Brooklyn Eagle.l

Tho fact is tina, the proprietary
gambler, like Morrissey, is, i'll the
sense OF the term, 90 gambler at all.
He simply provides the means for
other men to gamble without TAX
ing any risk himself ard he receives
his profits with precisely the same
certainty that the broker has or the
merchant who sells on commission.
BE provides tab'eand implements
If it is faro, his business is to take
and pay bets made between the
players, rcserving to himself the
profits of splits which recur wi h
a certainty that is marked with a
fixed percentage. His risk is n
most nothing, his certainty Of gain
fixed.
There are few live men who have
not at some time bet money. The
practice Of gaming in a small way
is almost as common in a communi-
ty as that Of eating. All classes,
except a few conscientiously strict.
play the national game Of poker.
No disgrace or reproach is implied
in it. We do not argue that pro-
viding a gambling house, as Nor
rissey does. is not rcprehcnsible. 1t
is highly so. The law forbids it
and the Hon. John is called fright:
full names because he breaks the
law, and does it openly. Yet PEG
pie who thus characterize him
should remembe: that after all it is
not Morrissey who breaks the law,
but the mel who patroEize his house,
and in obedience to the demands of
whom his house is open.
The writer has seen at one time
in Mcrrisseys gambling house three
cIergymen, interested spectators Of
the game Of faro. They though,
they wesc incogni,o. One was a
professor In a well-known college,
Another the principal Of a large
seminary. a third was and is the
pastor Of thriving church. They
were not.thcre simply for the pur-
pose of learning the facts Of wha,
they would depounce. They re-
manned too long and exhibited too
keen an interest in the game and
the excitement. Their names shall
be kept sacred secret. But by
their presence there, through mo-
tives OF curiosity, they were parta-
kers with the proprietor in break
ing the law.

We we're yesterday informed by
Mr.. Smith living on Quapaw Ba~

were out in the woods on Monday
afternoon last, driving up their cat
tie, their attention was attra ctcd
by the bIeating OF calf some dis
tapce from them. Thinking proba~

They had gone but a short distance
down the bayou when they discov-
cred a yearling, in the coils Of a
huge snake. the body of which was
suspended from the limb Of black
gum tree about twenty feet from
the ground, and which projected
from the bank Immediately over
the water. MIR. Smith and his son
were almost terror stricken at the
sight, and stood specchless for sew

Not long ago, on an Eng

father nor mother, brother
nor sister, friend nor protec-

or crew. Who was he ?
Where did he come from ?

The mate suspected some Of

pretty roughly. Day after
day he was questioned about
his coming, and it was always

Work is a BLESSING.

Many young men have fathers
that are well of, and they have no
ambition and no particular pros
pect. They scorn to work. The
man too well born is born for the
gallows! Thousands of parents
who, by industry, have gained a
position which enables them to de
stroy their children take the surest
means to accomplish their destruc-
ton by encouraging them in idle
ness, and allowing them as they
grow up, to feel that it is disgrace
full to work at what ever labor best
suits their talents, no matter if their
father is a minister or lawyer, Sena-
tor or President of the United
States. Many young men are look
ing forward upon life with the gen
eral idea that they are going to en-
joy themselves. They are provided
with all the needed physical COM
forts, and they mean to be happy.
They have no business. They
slight their profession. Their
whole governing principle in life is
to shirk anything like work, and
they expect to have enjoyment
without industry. You must work
if you are going to be a happy man.
/ know you think it is hard; but if
God had meant that you should be
butterfly, you would have been
born a butterfly, and as you were
not born a moth or miller, but a
man, you must accept the condition
of your manhood. And if there is
one principle that is more impor-
tant at the very threshold of life
than at another; it is that man was
born to work.
