Is Old Slodge a Game of Chance ?
A ovel case in jurisprudence re
cently armsc in New Hampshire. The
scatutus of Unit State make it a mis
demeanor to engage in playing games
of chance i r money In one of the
smaller towns, a • disposition had
arisen, among the inoje staid and se
verely resocc’able portion of the in
habitants, to enforce this law, which
had become practically a dead letter,
and it was determined to make an ex
ample of two young men, delected
while engaged in the game of Seven
Up. They were, accordingly, duly
indicted, and all preparations made
for a speedy trial a>d conviction.
Bob M , —, a rising young limb of
the law, had undertaken the defence.
Bob was ;a general favorite in the
town, and had the repntati >n of never
having lost a case. But here was a
poser. The facts were too evident
and too easily proven to be denied,
the law was plain, and success nppear
edhop' less. His intimate friends en
deavored to prevail upon him to aban
don the defence, representing that it
would be a pity to spoil his record,
which was now so good, by underta
king a case in which he could not
help the prisoners, and v! ich could
only result in failure’ But Bab, con
fident in his own resources, was firm
in his refusal.
The case came on, and, having ex
cited much comment, a great throng
of interested spectators was in atten
dance, composed of the supporters
and opponents of card-playing.
When the prisoners were arraigned,
Bob stated that Ins clients admitted
that they had played the game of
Seven Up, and that one of them had
won and tne other lost the sum of
two dollars, t s charged against thorn,
but that they denied that Seven Up
was a game of chance.
The p: scouting officer smiled, and
the judge pooh-poohed the idea; bul
Bub was not to be put down. The
fact, h said, must be proven, like arty
other fact; the rights of his clients
were not to be trifled with. Seven
Up was a game of skill, aud not a
game of chance.
The judge endeavored to ridicule
him out of his position, but Bob was
not to be moved so.
Deacon Mudgett was called to the
stand, and testified that the sinful
game of Seven Up was, undoubtedly,
and beyond all peradventure, a game
of chance.
Bob, however, was ready with a
cloud of witnesses to show it to be a
game of skill. The case, he said, if
tried in this way, would consume the
whole term of the court; that no other
business cmild be taken up; that, as
the circumstances were peculiar, and
ns it was almost night, lie would sug
gest that the question be submitted to
a struck jury, composed one-half of
those holding Seven up to be a game
of chance, ..nd one-half of those be
lieving in the skill theory.
Th c court and prosecution assented
and the jury was selected. Deacon
Mudgett, foreman, Parson Brown,
Deacons Wnkitts, Bagiev, Smith and
Slocum, all chance men, and six old
votaries of the game. Cards and can
ule.s were supplied, and the jury re
tired, leaving the audience with num
bers undimiuished, and interest una
bated.
At the end of half an hour a mes
sage wtis received from the jury-room:
Deacon Mudgett desired to borrow
three dollars fiom a friend. (Applause
in court.) Shortly thereafter, Parson
Brown requested the loan of a small
stake fram the Judge—(groans among
the chance men) —and at the end of
three hours the jury returned with a
verdict, read by Deac >ll Mudgett,
which we give verbatim:
“We, the jury empann led in this
case, do unanimously agree, that the
game known as Seven Up, lsdist nctly
and emphatically, a game of skill, and
not a game of chance; in witness
whereof, we show that during the
evening the six chance men have nev
er won a game, and never turned a
Jack; and furthermore, that all the
money and other personal valuables,
lately in possession of the chance men
tire now owned by the opposition par
tv; and we further certify, that the
dOctrn e that said game of S*veuUp
is a game of chauce, is false aud per
nicious, and calculated to inflict great
pecuniary loss in any community tha
takes stock in it.”
In a Dublin newspaper ap
peared the following: “A number of
i t 1 .>'.qi'oi lqbt” postponed ”
Flirting.
It is delicious fun ! There is an ex
citement and pleasure to be found in
it, very, very tempting, indeed ! It ap
pears innocent —as innocent as eating
peaches and grapes But it is a dissi
pation. Like wine-drinking, card
playing, liorse-racing, and similar dis
sipations, it has its dangers. One
writer, speaking of it as an amuse
ment, says, “the only caution to he
observed is, not to go too far.”
So we might say of those other
“amusements.” The sweet and exil
erating glass of wine; for that may be
good as medicine, but there never was
and never will be good in flirting. A
vivacious essayist, trying to define it,
says :
“It is more serious than talking
nonsense and not so serious as mak
ing love; it is not chaff and it is not
feeling; it means something more than
indifference, and yet something less
titan affection; it blinds no one; it
commits no or>e; it only raises expec
tations in the individual, and sets so
ciety on the lookout for results; it is
a plaything in the hands of the expe
rienced, but a deadly weapon against
the breast of the unwary; and is a
tiling so vague, so protean, that the
most accurate measurer of moral val
ues would be puzzled to say where it
exactly ends, and w here serious inteu
tio is begin.” ,
Ah, but that’s not the whole story.
Young people cannot indulge in this
fascinating amusement and keep the
bloom on the fruit. We would not
give much for the moral delicacy and
purity of a flirt.
Now for her truth: You cannot
flirt without being guilty of white lies,
of deceits innumerable, of false looks
and tones, subtle smiles and twists of
the mouth and glances of the eye —all
—lies— deceptions.
Now, if the successful practice of
deception be an amusement worthy
of the attention of high minded young
ladies and gentlemen, the exciting
game may he played without discred
it. But who would wish to take for
a life.partuer, one so full of guile as a
successful flirt must be? The check
that has blushed, the eye that has
lingered, the baud that has fondled,
the lip that has whispered, for amuse
ment, is not to be trusted iu the
solemn earnest of long life reality.
Besides, who shall guarantee that
these bewitching dissipations never
were carried “too far!”
When you marry don’t marry a
flirt— male or f male.
How to Grow Fat
If any one wishes to grow fleshy, a
pint of milk taken before retiring at
night will soon cover the scrawniest
bones, Although now-a-dajs we see
a great many fleshy females, there are
many lean and lank out s who sigh for
the fashionable measure of plumpness,
and who would be vastly improved in
health aud appearance could their fig
ures be rounded with good solid flesh.
Nothing is more coveted by thin wo
men than a full figure, and nothing
will so arouse the ire and provoke the
scandal of one of those “clipper
builds” as the consciousness of plump
ness in a rival. In cases of fever and
summer complaints, milk is now given
with excellent results. The idea that
milk is “feverish” has exploded, and
ts now the physicians great reliance
in bringing through typhoid patients,
or those in too low a state to be
nourished by solid food. It is a mis
take to scrimp the milk pitcher.
Take more milk and buy less meat.
Look to your milkman, have large
sized, well-filled milk pitchers ou the
table each m til, and you will also
have rot u ! flesh and light doctor’s
bills.
Rules for Poor Farming.
Oue of the roads to poor farming is
well traveled but not generally ac
knowledged—invest all your capital
for land aud go in debt for more.
Hire money at a heavy interest to run
the farm; have very little faith in
farming, and always be ready to sell
out; buy the cheapest and poorest
kind of stock and farming machinery,
feed poor grain and hay to your stock
and you will have less repairs to make
on your rickety fences and farm ma
chinery, as tine horses and fat stock
make sad havoc with the old wagon,
plow, cart aud fences. Use the oil of
hickory whenever your oxen need
strength; it is cheaper than high feed
ing, keeps the hair lively, and pounds
out the grubs. Never waste time by
sitting out fruit or shade trees, as
leaves rotting around a place makes
it unhealthy. Sell the best calves,
lambs and stoats to the butchers as
they will brim* a little more, and the
thin and p or ones will do well
rponorJl to keep.
82.50 A YEAR
English Women.
An American lady in London, who
has seen too much or too little of her
English sisters, propounds the follow
ing conundrums:
Why is it that English women seem
born to a heritage of mammoth feet
and thick ankles, its naturally as a
baby elephant ? Why is that the fe
male Briton has such an inextinguish
able lust for white lace that she deco
rates herself with it, even in the
street, as lavishly as the boiled limb of
a defunct porker is decorated with
white tissue-paper at a banquet of the
city fathers? Why does she wear
feathers in a mourning-hat, crowning
all t he crape symbolism of woe, as bri
dal favors would enliven a hearse?
Why does she wear gaiteis so low that
her ankles bulge over the tops of her
boots, like the capitals of Doric pil
lars ? Why does she drape those pil
lars in dingy gray, instead of the pure
white that her American sisters con
sider a prime essential of decency ?
Why do even young girls, richly dres
sed in velvet, looped and puffed over
pretty quilted satin peticoats, encase
their ample feet in these same gray
stockings? Why hasn’t the average
wofnen of the English middle class
grace? Why hasn’t she beauty?
Why hasn’t she taste ? Why hasn’t
she the dimmest shadow of a shade of
that je, ne sais quo, the aerial dainti*
ness of charm, of the French and
American woman wl ich is as ilusive
to the searcher after the secret as is
the mystery of life to the physiologist ?
Cremation in Siam.
A writer says: “During a residence
of several years in Siam I neither saw
or heard of a single burial in that
country, nor did I meet with more
than three Siamese tombs. They
were the ‘Tombs id' the Three Kings.’
said to be centuries old, and all that, I
could learn of their history was that
beneath those gorgeous mou unfin ts of
black granite, exquisitely chisled and
adorned with mosaics in gold, silver,
copper, ebony, and ivory, reposed the
ashes of the three famous warrior
kings wiio had ordered the bodies to
bo buried instead of burned, in order
that the singularity of the circum
stance might keep the memory of their
virtues and bravery ever fresh in the
hearts of their subjects. Burning is
now, and has been for centuries, the
universal custom in Siam- preferred,
it is supposed, because of the facility
it affords for removing the precious
dust of the loved and lost. In old
aristocratic houses I have seen ar
ranged in the family receptacle mas
sive golden urns containing the ashes
of eight, ten, or twelve generations of
ancestors; and these are cherished as
precious heirlooms to descend thro’
the eldest male branch.”
The Sailor’s Bride.
A seafaring man, who was recently
married, gave the following descrip
tion of his bride and her apparel,
which will put some of the regular
“society” papers to the blush:
My wife is just as handsome a craft
as ever left the millinery dry-dock; is
clipper built, aud with a figure-head
not often seen ou small crafts. Her
length of keel is five feet eight inches,
displaces twenty-seven feet of cubic
air; of light draught, which adds to
her speed in a hail-storm; full in the
waist, spars trim. At the time we
were spliced she was newly rig
ged, tore and aft, with standing
rigging of lace and flowers, mainsail
part silk, with forestaysail of Valen
ciennes. Her frame was of the best
of steel, covered with silk, whale-bone
stanchion®. This rigging is inteded
foi fair-weather cruising. She has al
so a set of storm sails for rough weath
er, aud is rigging out a small set of
canvass for light stjualls, which are
lik< ly to occur in this latitude sooner
or later. lam told in running down
the street before the wind she can
turn around in her own length if a
handsomer craft passes her.
J®“Never try to poison a young
heart. Never tell it of all life’s sor
rows and crimes before experience
has come with its cruel teaching. Too
soon we all roust learn that goodness
dwells not in every man, and that
there is treachery and duplicity in
many a heart; but let th se fresh
enough, pure enough, sweet enough
to believe in angels, keep their faith
as long as possible. Let them /be
happy, too. Never darken their lives
with sad revelations. We are none
of us free from care too long. If all
men are not models of innocence,
what good will it do the boy to know
it? If all men are not faithful lovers
and husbands why force the truth up
on a oving girl ? The very know
ledge of crime sometimes sullies the
soul. The longer one is kept iguo
! rant of it, the more likely is that one
1 to be permanently good and innocent.
