THE PELLO THAT LOST HIS GRIP ,
It's a long hard road to travel ,
The one I've journeyed on.
Over the rough , sharp gravel
From weary dusk to dawn.
But now I am overtaken ;
Booked for an outbound trip ,
All shattered and torrow-shaKen- *
A fallow that's lost his prip.
I was always counted plucky
And Independent too ,
. Till I became unlucky
Then cv'rythlng fell through :
I never did any shirking
But somehow missed my tip ,
And it kills a rcan for working
When he feels he's lost his grip.
> Ve're all of us men and brothers
While there's an even race ,
I struggled like the others
But couldn't make the pace ;
Afld now in a stranger city ,
My life , like a sinking ship ,
Soes down , with none to pity
The fellow that lost his grip.
ind to-day I heard the clinking
Of rain-drops on the glass ,
Their patter through the chinking ,
Made some dull moments pass
More quickly , for they brought me
Belief in their cooling drip.
Borne little patience taught me
A fellow that's lost his grip.
I've been a wandering rover ,
A stone without the moss ,
If I could live it over
Would life be such a loss ?
Would misfortunes still befall me
Till thev had me on the hip ,
4nd would the world then call me
The fellow that lost Ms grip
swift the time is flying ,
tThe goal is almost won ;
'i am dying , diiuir , dying ,
Bewept , bemoaned" by none.
hear the surf on unknown strands ,
I feel my moorings slip ,
Dhrist ! reach me out thy saving hands ,
I'm a fellow that lost his grip.

THE GAMBLER'S ' DAUGHTER ,
A True Story of Love and Bum
A Pathetic Romance of
New York Life.
I sing of love and rum , temperance ,
fanaticism and death.
Listen !
Among 1113early friends was the man
aging editor of a great newspaper.
English born , graduated from a uni-
rersity , a fair linguist , fully equipped by
uitnre , he was my beau ideal of a chief
executive. I will call him Boyd. Play-
Ing about the office was his nephew , a
boy ten or twelve years of age , his
name-sake , to whom he was greatly at
tached. The boy ran my errands , at
tended me on my reportorial why not
reporterial ? duties , and wound him
self about my heart as a vine clasps
some sturdier growth.
Time wore on.
The developments of the war induced
the uncle to leave journalism , and to
enter a field of governmetal labor which
bade fair to be most remunerative , and
was for a time very profitable , though
ultimately ruined when fhe Cabinet of
ficer , in whose range of supervision the
duty was , concluded it would be better
to engraft the service upon the govern
ment itself. Down to this time the
nephew , whom we will call Aleck
Boyd , had done nothing but run er
rands and play about the office , being
supported entirely by his uncle. A
change now occurred. Mr. Boyd was
in trouble and pecuniary distress. The
action of the government embarrassed
his company , and young Aleck was
told to look out for himself.
Naturally he turned to reporting.
He was tall , handsome , nineteen.with
big blue eyes , great physical strength ,
but not much mental activity , full of
life and push and go in everything but
work. He was very fond of girls and
developed into quite a beau. I put him
in the post-office , but he was too lazy
to work. I put him in the fire depart
ment , but the work didn't suit him and
he left. I got him a clerkship , but he
was careless and inattentive and left.
Always an indulger to an extent in in
toxicating liquors myself , I failed to
totice the early beginnings of Aleck in
his line , and being very busy and hard
work getting or writing news , I con
tented myself by greeting him pleasant-
jr when I saw him , giving him good
) dvice , lending him money , getting
him something to do , until one day he
staggered halfseas over into my room.
1 was thunderstruck.
Had he been my own brother I
couldn't have felt more keenly the dis
grace , I couldn't have reproached nry-
self more bitterly for neglect. I talked
with him like a good uncle , sobered him
np and engaged him as a reporter.
From that hour his life was a contin
uous tip and down. He went as a re
porter one day on a Sunday-school pic
nic and made the acquaintance of a
meek faced , demure , quiet little lady ,
iaugter of Danser , the gambler. They
were mutually impressed. She was a
Christian woman , with character of
most desirable strain dominating her
entire life , permeating every thought
and action , literally going about doing
good. Her father had three passions.
&e loved his daughter , he loved to
make money , and he hated liquor and
all who used it. He was rich beyond
the dream of avarice , a fact unknown
to his family" . He was a hard , harsh ,
btilletheadcd man , who carried his life
in his hand , ready with alertness to
meet friend or foe , cool , clear to the
: ore. His purposes were always clean
cut. He knew to a hair's breadth the
path he trod. Success followed every un
dertaking. He made and held enormous
sums of oney. He had the intuitions
of a woman , and when he saw his pret-
ty daughter brought home by this stal-
wart , handsome youth , ho read her
heart and judged the man. Parental
decree sent her to her room , and her
escort turned away as though a pail of
water had been thrown in his unexpect-
intface. A few days thereafter I re-
; eived a visit as editor of the paper on
which this young man was employed ,
Irom the gambler. I saw in a moment
that he was angry from head to foot ,
and had come to settle the affair with
me havin"failed , as I subsequently as-
ertainedt ° to convince the daughter of
the impropriety of Jier accepting as an
iscort this young man whom she had
never met before. I was as blunt as he ,
and although not as fond of Aleck
Boyd a ? he was of his Mary , I champi
oned Aleck's cause. I showed Danser
tho possible course that lay before the
young man , assured him of my entire
confidence in him and my intentions to
farther his prospects all that was in my
power. "But , " risked I , "why make
a serious matter of it ? The young
people have met but once. He may
never think of her again or she of
him. "
"Ah , " said he in reply , "you little
know that girl. This young man is the
first person I have ever know her to
feel the slightest interest in as an indi
vidual. I have had such a scene in my
house as I care never to have again. "
Quick as flash , turning to me after a
moment's pause he said , "That man
drinks and'I hate a druckard. "
What could I say ?
THE OLD TALE RE-TOLD.
To make a long story short , for the
interview lasted over an hour , I per
suaded Mr. Danser to keep , his hands
oil' , that if the young man called to see
his daughter , she being quite old enough
to determine , let him do so. If he
didn't why there was an end of it , and
1 assured him that in the meantime I
would speak to Boyd and would let
him ( Danser ) know "how the boy felt
The "boy , " by the way , had got
ten to be twenty-one years of age ,
and Miss Danser was fully that , if not
older.
In the course of three months Boyd
and Miss Danser were engaged , and
Aleck did very well in his worklapsing
occasional ! } ' into drink.
One week I missed him.
The woman with whom he had
boarded said he had been drinking very
heavily and had gone out one night ,
since which time she had heard nothing
from him. I sent to Miss Danser. She
wrote that he had called upon her in an
intoxicating condition , and had behaved
so badly that she , thinking her father
would iind him , had compelled him to
leave and she had heard nothing of him
since. I felt alarmed and sought the
aid of Supt Jordan. Aleck was found
on Blackwell's Island.
A QUEER HOME FOR A GAMBLER.
On his release he came , naturally , to
me. I braced him up , encouraged him ,
gave him work , and at his request call
ed upon Miss Danser. I found her in
Elizabeth street , I think , in a quaint lit
tle house , pictures of religious subjects
on the walls , hymn books and Bibles ,
tracts and a .volume of Mrs. Ilcman's
poetnon the table. While waiting
for her I took up Mrs. Hemans and
found that she had marked ,
And was His mortal hour beset
AVith anguish and dismay ?
How ma } ' we meet our conflict yet
In the dark narrow way 1
flow , but through Him , that path had trod
Save or we perish , Sou of God ;
and others , but that particular verse
underscored half a dozen times. Well ,
now , just imagine the position.
A gambler's home , a gambler's
daughter , a gambler with the reputa
tion of being the sharpest of his class ;
cruel , crafty , merciless to all his vic
tims , but enveloping this one child
with the holiest of sentiments , the
sweetest of affections , the care , the
thought , the love , the protecting yearn
ing for his daughter and his daughter's
good ; and here in this room , the room
of the gambler's daughter , within call
of other rooms less sacred , were these
emblems of her faith , these indices of
her thought , these flowers upon the
pathway of her existence.
I had a painful half hour with her.
She admitted with tearful protesta
tions her love for Aleck ; she told how
greatly she desired his happiness here
and hereafter ; but through it all it was
painfully evident that as a Christian
woman she believed with a faith that
could not be turned. It would be a sin
for her to link her life with a man who ,
under the influence of liquor , yielded
up everything that was true , everything
that in her judgment was worth living
for.
for.Yet
Yet I made as good a list of it as I
couid , and finally secured her promise
that if Aleck would sign and keep a
pledge of total abstinence for a month
she would receive him , and that mean
while he might write to her once a
week. Of course I knew that ended it ,
for the moment a man and woman , sit
uated as they were , begin to write , look
ing forward to a meeting , the veriest
blind man must be able to see the cer
tain end.
The end came.
They were reunited and a day was set
for their marriage , against which the
father made most vigorous protest , but
yielded , as fathers generally do , aided
somewhat toward that step by the fact
that Aleck had taken'.and had kept his
pledge for three consecutive months.
In an evil hour the young man was
sent to report a French ball.
The city editor instructed him to re
main until the closing of the doors , not
to be content with the ordinary routine
report , but to supplement it by a truth
ful and provable record of the later
scenes and the hurley-burley which
generally attends the breaking up.
Bright and handsome , dashing and full
of life , he was a favorite in the com
mittee-room , and , yielding to the
pressure of hospitality , took a glass of
wine. Thoughtlessly he took another
and landed in the station-house.
Reckless , he plunged into the vortex.
He was not content with that dis
grace , but , wildly tempting his fate ,
dove to the dregs. Danser , with an
outburst of passionate fury his daugh
ter had never seen before , swore to kill
him at sight if he ran across his path.
My favor could not longer shield him in
the office , and he sank , little by little ,
to the depths of a dirty , loathsome va
grant. Time and again , in the early
hours of the morning , when the city
was asleep , he crawled into the publi
cation office , his stockingless feet in
rubbers , scantily clothed , so foul and
disagreeable as to be absolutely offen
sive , and begged for the least pittance.
Danser went on blithely and bravely
through life. His daughter thinned
down. Her face" was like parchment ,
her eyes , always large , stood so prom
inent under her arched brows "as to
seem distorted. Her lips became thin
and puckered. Uever strong , always
puny in appearance , she literally shriv
elled. Dauser grew old and strong and
stout , and very , very rich. He tempt
ed his daughter with money. He beg
ged her to go abroad , he sought in
every possible way to distract her at.
tention and divert her thoughts , but
with a manner almost dustnut she
pushc'l h m gently one side and devot
ed all her sharpened intellect , all her
time and all the mom'y .she couldret
from her over-generous father , to the
onoings of her church , her mission
or her school.
THE DREADFUL EXD.
One day shortly after Tyrou rovr was
pulled down to make way for the new
building of the StaalJ Zeituny , when
the entire triangle fronting what is now
known as the Brooklyn bridge entrance ,
wis oceup'ed with timber and stone ,
standing with a friend and looking
from the window of mv office idly , my
attention was attracted to a ligure bent
nearly double , sitting on a long joist.
It was a man.
On his dishevelled head was no hat ,
on his feet no shoes , on his body a
ragged shirt and a worn and holey pair
of trousers , held in place by one dilap
idated suspender. Newsboys plagued
him , newsgirls jeered at him , a loaiing
policeman , swinging his club , looked on
approvingly.
Had he been a dog I think I should
have jumped into the ring.
It was no dog.
It was my old boy , Aleck. Quick ,
quick we hucfhim in an ambulance , quick
we drove him to an hospital and there ,
washed and cleansed and fed , the
poor fellow lay until the spirit passed ,
leaving him littcrally the remains of
what might have been a man.
You recall the story of the Dansers ?
Of the great robbery , the extraordinary
detection of the thieves and recovery of
the property , the death of the father ,
the quick fading away of the girl and
the vast sums left to churchly hands
after her obligations were paid and her
monument creeled ?
The moral points itself.
Had Aleck been a sober man what
happiness was in store for him and the
girl who loved him.
Had Danser been the drunkard how
differently this story might have run.

A ITaine Romance.
When a young girl she fell in love
with a poor fellow who returned her
affections , but didn't have money
enough to pathe parson for marrying
them. It was decided that he should
start for China to seek his fortune.
She made a vow that she would not
marry for three yoars , and if at the ex
piration of that time he had not re
turned she would be at perfect liberty
to act at her own pleasure about matri
mony. Six months passed and the girl
heard not a word from her lover. A
year went by , and no letter. The girl
grew almost distracted , for she came to
the conclusion that he had either gone
back on her or was dead. A second
year went by and nothing was heard
from him. At this time another gen
tleman began paying his attentions to
the lady , and finally asked for her hand
in marriage. The girl thought of her
vow and said no , not until the three
years are past. The second man urged
her with all his power to many him.
Ho offered her wealth and luxury ,
but she was true to her vow , and said
that she would not marry-until the ex
piration of the three years. Long be
fore this she had supposed her lover
dead.
The end of the third year was draw
ing to a close , and she had promised
the ardent suitor for a year and a half
that when the time was up she would
marry him on tho following day if her
former lover did not return. The day
came and the man didn't return from
China. On that very day the wedding
bells were rung and they were united
in marriage. Hardly had the marri
age ceremoney been performed when a
ship came into the bay from China , and
on board was her lover , who had left
her three years ago to gain a fortune
for them both returned. Imagine if
you can her grief when she saw him.
He came back , abundantly rich , to
claim her as his biide , and she had
three clays before married another.
The blow nearly crushed them
both. But six years wore away , and
in the meantime the man married and
went out West" to live. In a few years
his wife died. He had not heard one
word from his old love for many years ,
and one day. merely for curiositj-
addressed a letter to her brother , in
quiring if she was alive , and if so ,
where she resided. He received a let
ter shortly after that she had been a
widow for several years , and was living
near Portland. The gentleman left for
Portland on the next tram , and in less
than a week's time they were married ,
and to-day they are living happily to
gether in the suburbs of Portland.

The Revolver in Paris.
A Paris corresponent of The London
Telegraph , writes : "The era of the
revolver is still continuing in Paris ,
and the impunity with which the dead
ly weapon is carried about and fre
quently used with telling effect is sug
gestive of the wild freedom of Colo
rado. Miniature Colts and Derringers

quence is , that the collegian or gavroche
apes his elders in the perilous art of
settling amatory or other disputes by
the bullet. This was the case , for in
stance , with a boy of 16 , named Doulet ,
who fired two shots of a revolver at a
young girl about his own age , named
Duperche , this morning , in the Fau
bourg St. Martin. The girl , a seam
stress , was proceeding along the street
with two companions when Doulet
lired. Tiie bullets hit her in the back ,
and she fell bleeding on the pavement.
The 3'outliful criminal was arrested
immediately , and while in the hands of
the policeman attempted to shoot him
self , but unsuccessfully. He then em
braced the girl , who asked the police
men to let him off. Another case of
firing with a revolver occurred yester
day in a suburban wine shop , where a
drunken workman discharged six bul
lets in succession from the barrel of
his weapon on a group of companions
who were carousing with him. Luck
ily no one was hit , and the mail was
