go after all other treasures are lost, and
if his crown in heaven were put into

A young man in London on coming
of age received a fortune of one hun
dred and twenty thousand dollars, and,
through gambling in three years was
thrown on bis mother for support. An
only son went to a southern city; he
was rich, intellectual and elegant in
manners. His parents gave him on his
departure from home their last bless
ing. The sharpers got hold of him.
They flattered him. They lured him
to the gaming table and let him win
almost every time for good while,
and patted him on the back and said,
First rate player" But, fully in their
grasp, they tleeced him, and his thirty
thousand dollars were lost. Last of all
he put up his watch and lost that.
Then he began to think of his home,
and his old father and mother, and
wrote thus:

TAKE WARNING.

LAM NAINlNU
Take warning! You are no stronger
than tens of thousands who have by
this practice been overthrown No
young man in our cities can escape
being tempted. Beware of the first be-
ginnings This road is u down grade,
and every instant increases the momen-
tum. Launch not upon this treacher-
Gus sea. Split hulks strew the beach.
Everlasting storms howl up and down,
tossing unwary craft into the Hellgate.
/ speak of what l have seen with my
own eyes. | have looked off into the
abyss, and l have seen tie foaming,
and the kissing, and the whirling of the
horrid deep in which the mangled vic
Tins writhed, one upon another, and
struggled, strangled, blasphemed and
died-the death stare of eternal des-
pair upon their countenances as the
waters gurgled over them.
To gamblers death bed there comes
no hope. He will probably die alone.
His former associates come not nigh
his dwelling When the hour comes
his miserable soul will go out of q mis-
cradle life into a miserable eternity
As his poor remains pass the house
where he was ruined, old companions
may look out moment and say,
''There goes the old carcass-dead at
last" but they will not get up from the
table. Let him down now into his
grave. Plant no tree to cast its shade
there, for the long, deep, eternal gloom
that settles there is shadow enough.
Plant no 'forget-me-nots" or eglan-
tines around the spot, for flowers were
not made to grow on such Il blasted
heath. Visit it not in the sunshine, for
that would be mockery, but in the dis
NAL night when no stars arc out and
the spirits of darkness come down
horsed on the wind, then visit the grave

came to New Orleans over weight. At 8
o'clock IN the ante room of the Olympic
club faithful friends were engaged in the
task of reducing the New Zealander.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 14.-The arrange
ments for the fight could hardly be bet
ter. In the main building of the club
the principals h d a room each, far from
the crowding, curious mass below, and
distant from each other. Box holders
were admitted through the club house,
general ticket holders through gate on
another street. There were half dozen
other gates, but they were kept locked
and guarded, being intended for the pur-
pose of egress only. All along the paths
and aisles were strong guards of police
and the steady procession was kept going.
The amphi hitheatre was built ON a lasting
plan, higli walls making it solid and en-
during aud holding up the trus roof, so
constructed that 1t can be removed in
case OF warm and dry weather, or used
as protection from cold and rain. The
somewhat chilly weather of late led to

just loose enough to be springy. The
ropes and stakes were padded and it is al
together an ideal place to fight Four feet
from the ring is another enclosure with
barbed wire instead of rope. Between
the two rings were chairs for the seconds
and the wire fence insured the pueilistic
parties from outside interference.
Fitzsimmons was the first Of the con

fine condition as also was Dempsey.
