THE CURSE OF eAMnLING.
What MIR. Taima.c Knows About
Gigs" and Horses aud other
~ sinful Devices.

What the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage
knows about gambling IA fully and
freely told to a congregation which
crowded the Brooklyn Tabernacle yes
terday morning. The preacher was in
his happiest mood. His countenance
never writhed to better advantage, his
voice never piped in shriller keys, his
body, wrapped in black broadcloth. was
never more elastic, MOI his legs more
inspiringly nervous. New black-rim-
ministerial nose. He rushed directly
to the fray. The gambling evil IN our
times, he said, has taken on imperial
airs. 1t has attacked and outraged the
people, and is sending thousands of
victims to financial and moral ruin.
The time has come to put it down, and
down it has got TO go. The one absorb
ing question of to day is the question
of this monsters destruction and how
to insure it. The gamblers vile estab-
lishments are raised all around us, and
the proprietors are insolent. They die
tate to politicians and vaunt their
power. Men trim to please them and
profit themselves. In Long Island City

A London correspondent says: The sec.
Ond summer meeting at Sandown was

day. when the weather was perfection,
che temper ature delightfully."- cool, though
bright sunshine illuminated the pretty
lawn and the ladies' dresses These were
something to wonder at and admire.
The intense heat of the preceding days
had results in an inclination towards the
coolest and most diaphanous of fabrics.
and to the universal adoption of miles Of
lace as trimming. l have never, even
here, seen dresses in better taste or artistic,
in the true sense of the term.
Pink was, of course, prevalent, but not
so much 40 as might have been expected.
Ladies excuse their present passion for
this color by declaring that it washes
80 well" but those who find blue becom-
ing declare that it washes equally well.
ANY one who likes it is at liberty to be-
lieve that thif is the real reason that pink
is 80 much worn. Every woman loves
pink at heart, and one of the pangs OF
growing old is caused by finding that
pink no longer suits the complexion. at
which time has been throwing white
roses" as the autocrat of the Breakfast
Table POLITICALLY puts it.
There are some elderly persons, how
ever, who wear pink in defiance Of age.

We must not only think in words, but we
must also Try to use the best words, and those
which in speech will put what is in ourminds
into the minds of Others. This is the great
art which those must gain who Wish oteach
in the school, the church, at the bar, or
through the press. To do this in the right
way they should use the short words which
We learn in carly life, and which have the
same sense to all classes of men. When
a man steals, ,.and We call it ."dcfalcation,' -
We are at loss to know if it is u blunder or
a crime Tfhc does not tell the truth, and
we are told that it is case of "prevarication," !"
it takes us some time to know just what we
should think of it. No man will ever chca.

4 GRAY DAY.

Forth from a sky of MINDLESS grcy
Pours down the soft, persistent rain,
And she for whom ! sigh in vain,
Who makes my bliss, now makes my pain
Being far from me this autumn day
So far away.
Upon the waters void and gray
No floating sail appears IN sight
The dull rain and the humid light
No wind has any heart to smite,
This dreary, weary, autumn day,
With love away.
Where she is may skies not be gray,
But sunlight thrill the vital air
All were she here, or were there,
Skies might be dull, or might be fair,
And / not heed so she this day
Were not away.
No gull wings out twixt gray and gray
All gray, aS far as eye can reach;
The sea too liStless seems for speech,
And vaguely frcts upon the beach,
As knowing she this autumn cay
Is far away.
All, like that sea my life looks gray
Like u forgotten land il lie,,
With no light on it from her eyes,
Lovely and changcful rs those skies
Meath which she walks this autumn Cay
So far away.
Bla they shall pass, these skies of gray,
An she fCr whom sigh IL vain,
Who makes my bliss and makes my pain,
Shall turn my gray to gold again,
Being not, as now. that future day,
So fir away.

Soring. Ballad of a city Farmer.

The yellow ochre blossoms now adorn
The tall and stately oaks,
And from her nest in yonder pumpkin tree
The tuneful crocus croaks.
rhe caulifiower slowly seeks his gloomy cell,
The suns too warm for him;
And purple daffodils, all mellow-ripe,
Hang from each burdened limb.
The plumaged cabbage pipes merry lay
Beside the turtle dove;
The crow IS warbling in the tGrnip vine
His melodies of love.
Oh, come, then, lady, omeand stroll with me
Where streams of cider flow,
Meath the umbrageous sweet potato tree
Ill whisper soft and low.
Well talk of ensilage and cows and swire,
And you shall share part
OF countless other May-time joys that thrill
Your farmer-iovers heart.
