The Mistake He Made.

The Rev. Mr.. S. was recently visit
ing the Jail, to minister to the spiritual
wants Of the prisoners.
On entering the Jail, he met two men
in the corridor. who looked as if they
might need a little good counsel. Being
a prompt, outspoken man, the minister
went to business, first addressing the elder
of the two men, when something like the
following dialogue occurred
Chow long have you been in heres"
asked the minister.
ssAbout two hours
The minister looked at him curiously
for q moment, then he turned to the

much about the business. But has a mar

Gambling at Monaco.

There is no one about to show the
novice the game; no one is solicited.
You play or let it alone, as it pleases you,
but it generally pleases you to play, just
to try the efficacy of a system con-
fded to you in a happy moment by some
sanguine tyro. and warranted certain to
break the bank sooner or later, g halluci-
nation which amounts to a mild form Of
lunacy, most common in and about Monte
Carlo. r.
Palsied old men, with their noses on
their chins, and ancient DANES who have
outlived the charms of more gentle pas
sions, are the most persistent gamblers;
but the ubiquitous American never fails
to be represented at some of the tables;
many E%nglishmen and a large percentage
of young Englishwomen-from the girl
who makes a lark of hazarding her five
francs to systematic gambling women
are all to be seen, but all as silent as a
company of spectres.
At eleven o'clock, promptly. the Group
iers get up, shake down the legs OF their
trousers with the air of clerks let off for
a holiday, the lights are put out, tbs
great doors closed, and by twelve O'Clock,
to all appearances, Monte-Carlo is deco
rously fast asleep.
