or hell Who cares?"
When a young man makes up his
mind to live beyond his income, satan
has bought him out and out, and it Is
only question of time when the goods
are to be delivered. The thing is done.
You may plant in the way all the bat
teries of truth and righteousness; that
man is bound to 90 on. When a man
makes 81, 600 a year and spends 81, 200,
when a young man makes $500 and
spends 81, 700, all the harpies Of dark
ness cry ont, "Hal hal we have himW
And they have. How to get the extra
5000 or the extra 81, 600 is the question.
He says: "Here is my friend who start
ed ont the other day with but little
money, and in one night, so great was
his luck, he rolled up hundreds and
thousands Of dollars If he got it, why
not l: 1t is such dull work, this adding
up Of long lines Of figures in the count
ing house, this pulling down Of hun
dred yards Of goods and selling rem
nant, this always waiting upon some
body else when l could put 500 on the
ace and pick up 81 600"
An Insidious Sin.
This sin works very insidiously.
Other sins sound the drum, and faunt
the flag, and gather their recruits with
wild huzza, but this marches its process
sion Of pale victims in dead Of night, in
silence, and when they drop into the
grave there is not so much sound as the
click Of a dice Oh, how many have
gone down under i'll Look at those men
who were once highly prospered. Now
their forehead is licked by tongue Of
fame that will never 20 out. In their
souls are plunged the beaks which will
never be lifted. Swing open the door Of
that mans heart and you see a coil Of
adders wriggling their indescribable
horror until you turn away and hide
your face and ask God TO help you to
forget it, The most Of this evil is unad-
yertised. The community does not hear
Of it. Men defrauded III gaming estab-
lishments are not fools enough TO tell OF
it. Once in awhile, however, there is
an exposure, as when in Boston the po-
lice swooped upon a gaming establish
ment and found in it the representatives
Of all classes of citizens, from the first
merchants on State street to the low
Ann street gambler; as when Bullock,
the cashier Of the Central Railroad Of
Georgia, was found to have stolen
$lO3, 900 for the purpose Of carrying on
gaming practices; as when young man
in one of the savings banks Of Brooklyn
many years ago was found to have sto-
len $40, 600 to carry on gaming prac-
tices; as when a man connected with a
Wall street insurance company was
found to have stolen sos, 600 to carry
on his gaming practices. But that is
exceptional.
