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, i weighty odds in their favor —there is still against ; you this one tremendous point, sufficient in itself . for your destruction, according to the various i turns of the game, you are elated, depressed, . irritated, perplexed ; your systems —yourcalcu- > lation—where are they ?—The table has no ; passions ? i O, thou, the vetlefable father, whose son e t vinces a propensity for . But, begging your . pardon, I must postpone my solemn address to ; you till another opportunity. I have an anec - dote apropos of fathers, which, if I relate it not j now, may be lost to the world forever. In the meantime, for any serious bur pose, see my Es . gay It is not long ago that a certain gentle ; man was sitting, tete-a-tete, with a friend, at t wine. “ See here,” said the former ; “ here is r a letter from the tutor of that foolish boy of , mine, at Paris. He tells me that Tom has lost t nine thousand pounds at play. What a sum ! 1 I’ll never forgive him.”—“ Pounds !” exclaimed i his friend, on looking at the letter ; “ Nine • Their splendid mansions, thrown open free of ex -1 Venae, to all visitors, their dinners, suppers, and balls, gratuitously provided; a tax of many thousands paid 8 annually to Government for permission to hold the ta- e B. i 8 it out df theif own losses, or youris, ye deep r calculators, that the contractors derive the means of da fraying these enormous expense; T thousand Ucrcs; not Uvres sterling, but len-pen ces.”—“ What! only ten-pences ; Hurra! fill your glass!
