The street sweeper advances the Inter
ests of society by the cleanliness effect
ed. The cat pays for the fragments it
eats by cleaning the house of vermin.
The fly that takes the sweetness from
the dregs of the cup compeasates by
purifying the air and keeping back
the pestilence. But the gambler gives
not anything for that which he takes.
I recall that sentence. He does make
a return, but il IS disgrace to the man
he tleeces, despair 70 his heart, ruin to
his business, anguish to his wife,
shame to his children and eternal
wasting away to his soul. He pays in
tears and blood and agony and dark
ness and woe. What dull work is
blowing to the farmer when in the
village saloon in one night he makes
and loses the value of summer har.
vest! Who.will want to sell tape and
measure nankeen and cut garments
and weigh sugars when in nights
game he makes and loses and makes
again and loses again the profits OF a
season. John Borack was sent as
mercantile agent from Bremen to
England and this country. After two
years his employers mistrusted that
all was not right. He was defaulter
for $4,000. It was found that he had
lost in Lombard street, London,
$4,000; in Fulton street, New York,
s1O,O and in New Orleans, S3, 600.
He was imprisoned, but afterward eS-
capped and went into the gambling
profession. He died in lunatic asy-
Ium. This crime is getting its lever
under many a mercantile house N
our cities, and before long down will
come the great establishment, crush
ing reputation, home comfort and i'm
Hortal souls.
The whole world is robbed. What
is most sad, there are no consultations
for the loss and suffering entailed by
gaming. If men fail in lawful busi-
ness, God pities and society commiser-
ates, but where in the Bible or society,
is there any consolation for the gam
bier? From what tree of the forest
oozes there a balm that can soothc the
gamester's heart2 In that bottle where
God keeps the tears OF his children are
there any tears of the gambler? Do
the winds that come to kiss the faded
cheek OF sickness and to cool the heat

and cheer to the emaciated victim Of

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. Secretary

recently effected union of three Of the
Central American states, and although
Senior Rodriguez, the regularly accred-
tied representative OF The Greater Re-
public of Central America" has been
in Washington for almost a fortnight,
no arrangements have been made for
his presentation to President Cleveland.
1t is not understood that any discOurte~y
is intended i'll this delay, nor any lack
of interest in the newly formed union,
for the president has cherished the idea
, that the consolidation of the smaller
Central American republics would tend
to the benefit of their citizens. But SO
far the state department has not been
assured as to the exact combination that
has been effected between them, and
besides, regards it essential that the
United States, by recognition of this
new republic, shall not abandon any
privileges enjoyed under the separate
treaties it had with the individual
states, nor sacrifice the claims for i'll.
