To many tht re is a :ompleio fa-cinati:i in gan:es C'f h.-i.e.i'tl tr Hie risking of money on po --sibiiiticH. It seems ::s ii.iHiral for them to !et ;ta to cat.

It is absurd for (hose of us wiio havo never fell the fascination ef tho wager to s.-eak clightingly if the tem;tntio7i. It has skiin a multitude of intellect u:d and meiral gianlJ, men and women Ktronger t!::iii you tir I. Down under iti power went- glorious Oliver (b.ild: mho. end Ciib bon, tl:o l;;.itorian. and Ch:ult.s l-'ox, the statesman, and in o!d"U tiiue-s famous ftriatora of theUnite-1 bitate-i, who u.-.d to 1x5 a:S regularly at tho gambling hou-e all night rs they were hi the halls e.r legislation by day. Oh, the trngedics of the faro tabled i know p-v.-oiis wiio be g.i!i with a slight Bhtko in a hniies' par lor and ended with tho w:i( ride's pistol .:L ?.Io:U- Carlo. They played with the .s: jur.ro pieces of bone with black marks on them, not loio.ving that Satan was playing for their bones at tho same tinv end v;n .tare tt sweep all tho ? takes oh' on his side of the table. The la.-1 New York legislature nanetioned the migk'v evil last spring by passing a law for it-; defense at the race tracks, and many young n:en in these eishs lost all theii wages at C'onej- Isle.r.d lids summer, and this fail are borrowing from the money till", of their employers or arranging by moan of false entry to adjust thir de moralized finances. Every man who voted for tho Ires pool bid has on his h-inds and forehead the blood of these souls. lint in this connection pome young con verts sny to me: "Is it right to play cards? Is there any harm in a game of w hist or euchrt -ir" We ll, I know good men who play whi.;t and euchre and either styles of game? without any wagers. I had a friend who played cards with his wife and children, iiin't then at the close said: "Come, now, lot us have prayers." I will not judge otiier men's const ieue'es. but I toll you that cards are, in my mint.!, so ass;ciated with the temp-oral and eter nal damnation of splendid young men that I should no sooner say to my family: "Come, let us have a game of cards," than I would go into a menagerie and say: "Come, let i have a game of rattlesnakes," or into a cemetery, ami sitting down by a marble slab, say to the gravediggers: "Come, let us have a game of skulls. "' Conscientious young ha lies are silently saying to me while I speak: "bo you think card playing will t'o r.s any h:unu" Perhaps not, but how will you feel if in the great day of eternity, when we aro askod to give an account of our influence, Rome man shall say to you: "1 was introduced to games of chance iu tho year 1S87, in Brooklyn, at your house, and I went on from that Sjort to something more exciting, and went 0:1 down tuitu I lott ray business and lost ray morals and lor,t my soul, and these c-h?.ins that you isc? on my wrist:? and feet are the chains of a gajnctster'u doom, and I am on my way to a gambler's hell." llonev at the start, eternal catastrcpe at tho lad. Stock gambling conies into the same catalogue. It must be very exhilarating to go into Wall street, New York, or State street, Boston, or Third street. 1 hik-.elclphia, anil ele-posiiing a small sum of lucney rim the risk of taking out a fortune, llany men are doing an lionet and safe business in tho stock market, ar.d you are an ignoramus -if j"on do not know that it is jurt as legitimate to dc:d in stocks as to eleal in coffee, or sugar, e r flour. But nearly all the outsiders who go there on a little financial excursiem lose all. The old spiders eat up the un-su-m vcting flics. I had a friend who put his hand on his hip pocket and said to me in substance: "I liave there the value of 150,000." His home is today pcunik-ss. What was tho matter? Wall 6iret-t. Of the vast mjority who are victimised you hear not ono word. One great stock firm goes down, and whole columns of newspajK-rs discuss their fraud, or their disaster, and we are pre sented with their features and their bi ography. But where one such famous firm sinks 500 unknown men sink with them. The great steamer goes down and ail tho little lxuit.? are swaliowed in the same engulfment. Gambling is gambling whether in stocks or breadstuifs, or die? or race track betting. Exhilaration at' the start and a raving brain, and a shat tered nervous system, and a sacriliceel property, and a destroyed soul at tho lust.
