steeds. At night, when he dismisses

enters up in little book the telegraph
10 reports Of the receipts Of the
various railroads which he owns;
he does not go to club to carouse, to q
banquet TO steam up with champagne,
or to Q theatre; he retires to the recess
Of peaceful library, and, with his
young sons about him, reads the Latin
classics, the world forgetting, but not
by the world forgot-by large major
itys The next morning early he has
the telegraph doing lightning service,
and he is sending an electric shock
through Wall street as soon as the bulls
and bears come into that field for pas
ture. Mr.. Gould is liberal man, al.
though when he makes bequest he
does not have the information written

Tho YOumg aau.-Ns. Q.

' .
The thirst for happiness among al
classes, especially the young, seek graf
iacation in many other vicious ways.
Gaming, for example. This like
drinking comes on gradually, and the
young man who becomes addicted to 1t Il
fatally ensnared ere he is aware Of
the danger. At first q game Of cards
or billiards was indulged in through
the solicitation Of some friend, merely
for amusement, or 10 while away the
time. There was an idle moment. What
to do with 1t was the question.
Time dragged heavily. But why did
II seem so irksome II was the vacan.
cy within, the absence Of enjoyment,
the uneasy feeling Of q want for an un-
known good. Like the Athenians wor-
shipping the "Unknown God," ignor-
antly seeking to fill some vacant place
in their hearts, the young man sought
in hts games for that which neither
games nor any other vicious practice
can impart. He found momsntary en-
joyment in the excitement and the COM
panionship Of the hour, but 1t soon
passed away, and the uneasy feeling
returned, becoming more clamorous
than before.
The experiment was repeated until
gaming became habit. Time was lost,
idleness grew on him, bad company vas
sought, and passion for gaming was
the only result. No happiness came as
the reward Of this practice-nons but
the hilarity and excitement usual
among boon companions. In due time
betting was proposed and accepted, all
for fun, of course, only for fun. He did
not mean to becoms gambler, any
more than the tippler ever meant to
become q drunkard.
But this practice repeated grew into
habit, and the soul that ever revolted
at the idea Of gambling soon parted
with all its scruples. Mark 1t we'll,
young man, and believe the old mans
word, the first cent gained with the
gamblers implements is the gate to
the gamblers life Of shame and his end
Of ruin. Think, dear, young friend, Of
something that Is better adapted to fill
that aching void within. Cleanse your
way Of this dangerous vice.

Tho Irish Rent Troubles.

Late advices from several important
points in Ireland indicate better feel
ing prevailing, and there is reason to
believe the eliminating point of the
agitation has been passed. There ia
now marked increase in the disposi-
ton Of the tenants to pay rents, and it
is believed that but for the terrorism of
the lawless anti-rent leagues, the ten
antry would very generally respond to
the extent Of their ability. The reports
Of the alleged agrarian outrages have
been vastly exaggerated, and there is
no extraordinary demand for relief At

From the ClOyerport (Ky.) News.
A certain young lady, whose name
We suppress for obvious reasons, resid-
ing near the Breckenridge and Hancock
line, who is quite the belle, toast and
fashion Of her neighborhood, has among
her many suitors two young men nam
ed Ballman and Hall. These two grew
exceedingly jealous Of each other, and
finally engaged in serious quarrel, the
result Of which was that they agreed to
meet at a certain spot near Pellville on
Wednesday Of last week, and fight the
quarrel out "fst and SKULL" the best
man to take the girl. They met &C
cording to agreement, Ballman going to
the battle-ground alone, but Hall &C
companied by one Of his brothers and
an outsider.
Ballman and Hall stripped and went
to work on each other without unne-
sessary delay, and in few minutes the
latter getting as much as he wanted yell
ed Enough !" Ballman at once de-
sisted, when the other Hall jumped in
to the fracas, only to get whipped in
shorter order than his brother. The
outsider, without a word of warning,
then struck Ballman two savage blows
on the head with club, one lick lay
ing the scalp open on the top Of the
head, and the other taking effect just
above this left eye, knocking the brow
entirely loose from the bone. DR.. Ma
son, of this city, was sent for, and
dressed the wounds. He says that
while the injury to Ballman's eye is
very severe, he apprehends no more
serious result than the repudiation Of
both lovers by the young lady whose
name they brought into such unenvi-
able notoriety in the neighborhood by
their encounter.

He advocated such improvement of the
