Beau Nash ms N Gambler

When the late Earl of I'd was q
youth, he was passionately fond of play
and never better pleased than with
having Mr.. Nash for his antagonist.
Nash saw with concern his lordship's
fOible and undertook to cure him,
though by very disagreeable remedy.
Conscious of his own superior skill he
determined to engage him in single play
for very considerable sum. His lord
ship, in proportion as he lost his game,
lost his temper, too, and as he ap.
preached the gulf seemed still more
eager for ruin.
He lost his estate Some writings
were put into the winners possession.
His very equipage was offered as a last
stake, and he lost that also. But when
our generous gamester had found his
lordship sufficiently punished for his
temerity he returned all, only stipulat-
ing that he should be paid e5, 0O0
whenever he should think proper to
make the demand. However, he never
made any such demand during his lord
ships lifetime, but some time after his
decease, Mr.. Nash's affairs being in
(sic) the wane, he demanded the money
of his lordship's heirs, who honorably
paid it without any hesitation.

Deafness is caused by an infamed con-

infamed you have rumbling sound

entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its

cape From Death.
Some years ago there was a runaway
down at Shelter Island in which a
young girl was left in the boat with a
gale blowing She tried to throw the
sheet loose. but it was frozen and her
fingers were too cold added to which
the sheet had fouled the tiller, and she
could not bring the boat up into the
wind to stop its way. the sail being so
set that the boat continued running
right along at a terrific rate of speed
Occupants of the other boats soon
realized the position and made chase,
gaining slowly. one boat finally being
far in the lead of the others by the time
the end Of the island was left behind.
Right in front lay the end of the ice
broken short by the action of the tide
water, and there the breakers rolled in,
throwing up the anchor ice dashing it
down. and then retreating, sucking it
under the foe and packing it up for an
other break
For some time it was a question as to
whether the chasing boat would catch
up with the girl before she was carried
over the edge to certain death But at
last the boats came together for one
brief second the girl was snatched by
strong arms to the pursuer S yacht. the
sheet was eased off in flash. and, spin
ming round in its own length it was
set right before the wind instead Of
reaching into it, just as the runaway
dashed over into the anchor ice
A short, sharp crack gave notice of
the parting of the ice beneath the very
runners of the now homeward bound
savior, and with a long stagger which
only her speed enabled her to with
stand, she dashed across the fast open
ing crack, safe, to be brought up into

runaway danced. wreck, among the
