FROM THE NEW.MONTHLY MAGAZINE
AXECDOTEM OF GAMBLING.
Who ever thought of relieving a poorcreature
Buffering under hydrophobia by preaching to him
a sermon “ On the enormity of allowing onesell
to be bitten by a mad dog?” Who in his senses
Vould expect, by serious remonstrance, to cure
» patient afflicted with madness next in degree
to it—with that disease of the mind which, for
want of a better term, 1 shall take the liberty to
rail confirmed gamblomania ? The atlCrinpt were
hopeless. The poor deluded being is not its
master hut its slave: his disease is as a passion too
Wrong for his control: as a craving which his na
ture cannot resist. The confirmed gamester who
stakes his guinea, and another, and another, in
the hope of retrieving hundreds los*, is like the
lunatic who shows you the bits of straw which
he is, presently, to convert into gold—an object
more deserving our pity than our contempt. But
not only is he invulnerable to solemn exhorta
tion; ridicule, which, in most other cases is ef
fee live, falls powerless upon him. What then
can be done to save him I Nothing nothing.
When the passion, or, rather, the mania, has
/airly taken hold, it is never to be eradicated.
Nothing but the loss of his last shilling, and his
total inability to procure another, will cither in
duce or compel the Confirmed gamester to ab
stain from risking one stake more . Eveh then,
si':- r all is lost, you may see him pale, haggard,
<roe-begonc, like a spectre, haunting the scene
of his ruin: and with the experience of many a
bitter night to counsel him of the hopelessness
of the pursuit, still indulging in mad and infalli
ble schemes for the recovery of his losses, should
Fortune ever again bestow on him a guinea.
“Sir,” said an elderly Frenchman lo me (an en
■tire stranger) one night at Frascati, “Sir, I have
discovered a system by which I can, infallibly,
break the tables.”—“Sir,” replied t, “I wish
you joy of it: for my own part I never play. ’
“Sir, so confident am I of its success* that with
in these four months I have embarked eighteen
thousand francs in the game —they arc irretrie
vably lost, unless really', I -HaVe the
kindness, Sir, to lend me of Napoleons
for a minute or two, and you shall see me make
an example of these rascally croupiers. Hav
ing in inc too much of the milk of human kind
ness to assist in a scheme ot such desperate re
venge; and this, besides, not being the first re
quest of the kind 1 bad been honored with, I de
dined compliance with it.
But, seriously speaking, it never was my in
tention to he serious on the subject of gaming :
a long face is seldom an agreeable object, and
least of all, when it is exhibited to no good pur
pose. All I designed, in this paper, was to
throw together, in a desultory way, a few anec
dotes of gaining, which have occurred within
my own observation. 1 give, nsit were, the raw
material: if it fail of effect in the plain shape of
warning, I am convinced that no salutary result
would be obtained by working it up into pre
cept.
Though I never in my life won or lost five
pounds at play, I was a frequent visiter at Fras
cati. I went as a looker-on, and, to confess the
truth, for the purpose of indulging in the excite
ment occasioned by watching the various chances
and changes of the game, and their effects up
on those who were more seriously interested in
them. To a mere observer this excitement is
intense: to the player, deeply involved, it must
be fearful. 1 remember a very old gentleman
who was daily carried by his servant to the
Kougc.rt.noir table. There he sat playing from
three o’clock until five, at which hour precise
ly, the servant returned and carried him (for he
had entirely lost the use ofhis legs) back to his
carriage. He was a man of large fortune, and
Ihe stakes he played were not considerable; yet
he was elated by every lucky coup , and at every
reverse he gnashed his teeth and struck the ta
ble in rage. No sooner, however, was the mo
ment for his departure arrived, than he regained
his equanimity, utterly regardless as to whether
He had been a winner, or a loser, by the pro
ceedings. “I have outlived all models of ex
citement,” said he, “save that of gaming; it is
that that takes the fastest hold on the mind and
retains it the longest; my blood, but for this oc
casional agitation, would stagnate in my veins
1 should die.” Here was a man provok ag this
conflict of the passions simply for his diversion:
how must it be with him who sets fortune, life,
honor, at stake!
Upon one occasion I absolutely grew giddy
from anxiety, whilst watching the countenance
of an officer of the Garde Royale who stood op
posite me, and wailing the turn of a card which
was to decide whether he should, at once, re
turn a beggar|to his home, or his certain fate be
deferred till a few' hours, or a few nights later.
It appeared to be his last stake. The perspira
tion was falling from his brow, not in drops, but
in a stream. He won; and a friend who accom
panied him dragged him out of the room. Some
lights afterwards I saw this person again.—He
was loosing considerably, yet he endured his
losses with apparent calmness. Once when a
large stake was swept from him, he just mutter
ed between his teeth, whilst his lips were curled
with bitter smile, “C’est bien; tres bien.” Af
ter this he silently watched the game through
five or six deals, but did not play. I concluded
he had lost all. Suddenly and fiercely he turn
ed to the dealer, and in a tone of voice almost
amounting to a scream, he exclaimed, “C’est
inon sang que vous voulez—le voi a.” He, at
the same time drew from his pocket two notes of
five hundred francs each, and, dashing them
down on the table, he rushed into a corner of the
room, hid his face, covered his ears with his
hands, as if dreading to hear the announcement
of the result of his speculation, and literally yell
ed aloud ! It was awful ? After a few seconds he
returned to his place. His last stake was lost!
He twice drew his handkerchief across his fore
head, but he ulfered not a word. Presently he
asked for a glass of eau-sucre, and having swal
lowed it, he slowly walked away. The next
morning his servant found him sitting in an arm
chair, with his Sword, thrust to the very hilt,
sticking in his throat.
This is not the only tale of the kind I could
relate; but as they are all nearly alike in their
progress, and differ in their terminations only by
substituting for this extraordinary method of
making an exit, poison, the pistol, Or a plunge
into the Seine, I consider this one sufficient for
my purpose.
Yet let me not be set down as an alarmist—as
one anxious to inculcate a belief that all con
firmed gamesters terminate their career by be
coming their own executioners ; —such, howev
er, I take to be the current opinion amongst
those who live “ remote from cities,” and know
nothing what is passing within them but from
hearsay. A gentleman from the North of Eng
land came to see a sight at Parisi He was on
what is disagreeably termed the wrong side, but
which, for the sake of good manners, I shall beg
leave to call the venerable side of sixty. He had
for the greater part of his life inhabited one large
town which was Newcastle ; and he had fre
quently, in the course of it, visited one large
city, and that was Dublin. He came to Paris-,
therefore, with a mind admirably blank for the
reception of a strong impression of its wonders.
Os the Palais-Royal, its play-houses, its coffee
houses, its eating-houses, its gaming-houses, dec.
and of the amusements and the horrors therein
enjoyed and perpetrated, he had heard much ;
and had formed of the place a notion most amus
ingly extravagant. Scarcely had he swallow
ed hi* first dinner when he begged i would show
him the Palais-Royal. —Thither we went. It
was evening, and the place was at its gayest.
The tafes and shops were all illuminated ; mu
die bufst upon us from the Salons above and
from the cellars beneath ; and the garden and
arcades v*ere thronged to a degree which would
have satisfied a cockney. Yet Mr. gazed
about him with an air of disappointment. He
asked which were the gaming-houses. “ there,”
said I, pointing to a row of windows, “ there is
one.” He took a seat immediately in front of
the building. I left him ; and, returning in
about half an hour, found him still there, his
eyes intehlly fixed on the windows. “ Are you
sure," said he, doubtingly, “ that that is a gairi
ing house ?” I told him, the place being pub
lie, he might convince himself by entering.
To this he objected, on the ground that he
should not like to be close to any one when
he did it. I imagined he meant no more thah
that he did not care to see play. Presently a
window Was thrown open, apparently for the
purpose Os airing the room. “ Now, now !”
cried Mr. , “ now he’s coming !” But no
body came, nor could I clearly comprehend
who it Was my old friend expected. At length
the drums beat for clearing the garden, and we
withdrew. It was manifest he had suffered from
disappointment. After a few minutes’ silence,
ho said : “ I trust you have not been fooling me.
I have been credibly informed that it is no un
common thing to see two or three of those un
happy wretches, when they have lost their all,
loss themselves out of a window' ; and that if
you are there but early enough in the morn
ing, you may be sure of finding five or six of
them dangling from the balustrades. —Between
ourselves, that is chiefly what I came to Paris
to see.” —Now, although I am satisfied that the
gaimirig-housescontributc largely to the Morgue*
yet, for the consolation of all fathers whose
sons are incurably addicted to play, I declare
that I have known some confirmed gamesters
who have lived on to a very disreputable old
age. I saw' the Chevalier de C (a descen
dant of the oncc-celebfated romance-writer)
when he was nearly ninety. The mode of life
of this old man was singular. He had lost a
princely property by the scheme which my poor
friend Frederick is still pursuing. By a piece
of good fortune, of rare occurrence to game
sters, and oh ? unparalleled generosity ! the
proprietors of the Salon allowed him a pension
to support him in his miserable senility—just
sufficient to supply him with a wretched lodg
ing, bread, and a change of raiment once in
every three or four years ? In addition to this
he was allowed a supper (which was his dinner)
at the gaming-house. Thither, at about eleven
at night, he went. Till suppef-time (two) he
amused himself* in watching the games and cal
culating the various chances, although he was
S destitute of the means of playing a single coup.
, At four he returned to his lodging, retired to
bed, and lay till between nine and ten on the
following night. A cup of coffee was then
i brought tel him ; and, having dressed himself, at
1 the usual hour, he again proceeded to the Salon.
This had bean his round of life for several years;
’ and he told me that during all that time (except,
i in? on a few mornings about midsummer) he
had not beheld the sun !
Perhaps the most unhappy event that can be
fall a person who visits the gaming-table for the
first time, is, that he should retire from it
, winner. There appeal's so little reason why
that which has already so easily been done,
should not with equal facility be repeated, that it
is is all but a certainty the fortunate player will
’ make the attempt. I strolled one night with a
friend into Frascati. He was no player any
more than myself; however, he threw out a
» The melancholy receptacle for the bodies of those
who are found dead in the streets, or in the river, and
I where they remain rill claimed by their relatives or
friend?.
i bait of three or four Napoleons to Lady For
i tunc ; she was kind; and in less than an hour
his pockets were crammed with gold. He wise
-1 ly resolved to march off with the spoil, and, in
that laudable intention, desired the dealer toex
i change his gold for notes. After receiving four
I thousand five hundred francs in paper, there
still remained three unlucky Napoleons. “ Let’s
see what I can do with these,” cried F . He
lost them. That was provoking. Resolved to
recover them, he changed one of his notes —
then another. In less than ten minutes he left
i the room without a franc in his purse. Reflect
ing on the difficulty only of quitting the gaming
table a winner, he never played again. The
fate of poor G m is remembered by many.
He was one of the most estimable men I ever
knew. In him were combined the best quali
ties, both of head and heart; he was sensible,
witty, good-humoured, benevolent. With theso
qualifications, and one other which seldom ope
rates to a man’s disadvantage—a clear income
of three thousand a year—lhe best society in
Paris was open to him. He had been a visiter
in that Capital about a month, when he received
an irivitation to one of the splendid dinners, gi
ven weekly at the Salon. As he riever played,
he hesitated about the propriety of accepting it;
but, on the assurance that it would not be ex
’ pected of him that he should play, and, moreo
ver, as he might not again have so good an op.
portUiffy of visiting an establishment of the
kind, for the satisfaction of his curiosity he
went. He had a few stray Napoleons in his
pursli: to throw them —just for the good of the
house, as he considered it—could hardly be call
ed play, so he threw'them. Poor fellow ! he left
off a winner of fourteen hundred Napoleons.
There is no harm in fourteen hundred Napo
leons- —and so easily won ! —He went again—
again—and again ; but he was not always a
winner. The end of poor G mwasby no
meaiGof so romantic a character as that of the
officer of the Garde Royale-, which I have rela
ted ; therefore to notice it after that may, per
haps, be considered a pathos. Within fifteen
mdhtiis of the moment his hand first grasped the
dice-lox, he was lying dead in a goal !
But the termination of poor, foolish B w’s
career is still more contemptible—it is ludicrous.
This young gentleman, being a fool of the first
water, and possessing a properly of about four
hundred a year, strutted and swaggered about
the good city of Paris, as a foolish young gen
tleman has an undoubted right to do. He dis
dained to creep into a gaming-house w r ith half a
crown in his hand ; no—he went into Frascati,
dash, with five hundred pounds, resolved at once
to break the tables. At one period of the eve
ning ho was in a fairway of carry ing his threat
into execution, being a winner of thirty-eight
thousand francs, (about 1600/.) and somew'hat
abated tlie ferocity of his first intention, declar
ing that he should be satisfied, for that night, as
soon as lie had made his thirty-eight and eveu
forty : he walked home without a shilling. He
reiterated this unfeeling experiment against the
devoted tables with terrific rancor. Now. when
it becoiries a decided struggle, and one party is
fully bent on destroying the other, it is tolera
bly evident that, in the end, one of the two must
come off second best. How it fared with the
tables will readily be guessed ; but the gallant
assailant may now be seen brandishing a yard
measure behind a linen-draper’s counter in
street.
Break the Table ? paltry private fortuhe—pnlK
ry however large—tarried up, in driblets, to
contend against a joint stock of wealth enormous !
Bend a body of a hundred men, in detachments
6f five or ten at a time, annihilate a compact
army of a hundred thousand ! —Blockends !
Calculations 1 It is notorious to you that the
calculations are already made, greatly, and con
fessedly, in favor of the brick wall against which
you are sapicntly knocking your head.* But
you are right: you expect that the whole doc
trine of chances will be subverted in favor of
your own especial schemes. —bolts !
Systems? Observe two players on opposite
sides of the table. Each has his infallible sys
‘ tern by w hich he must win. Playing on opposite
sides, the curd which is favorable to one, must of
* necessity, be fatal to the other ; yet mark the air
i of security with which both (playing on infalli
i We systems) place theii mortey on the board !
Can one conceive an act exceeding this for de
liberate stupidity !—ldiots !
Talkingwith H C , (agentleman well
known in the sporting world,) of the Obvious
i absurdity of systems for winning at games of pure
1 chance—ls “ I *ere resolved to win,” said I, “ I
should go very soberly With a hundred Napole-
I ons, and be content with winning one” “ That
would never do,” was his reply ; “ you should
i go, very drunk, with one Napoleon, resolved to
win a hundred.”
; In a personal conflict betw'een tw'o men ofe
. qual stature* strength, and skill, of w’hom the one
is irritable and impatient, whilst the other is cool
i and collected, the victory must be with the lat
t ter. Now ye profound calculators, ye ingenious
system-mongers, admitting your theories to be
i as rational as, in fact, they are absurd, admitt
» ing that you encounter your antagonists on e
) qual terms, instead of Conceding, as you do,

; you this one tremendous point, sufficient in itself
. for your destruction, according to the various
i turns of the game, you are elated, depressed,
