gfre ConafHwtwiuittst. AUGUSTA, Friday Morning, November 12, 1875. Haunted Lodgings. Dear love, I feel your face Close, close to mine, though we are far apart, heart, throb like some wioked It purities the place. I hear your low roh-=>s glide Now in, now out; some angel it may be Bearing a blessed memory to me: And bright as eventide. i hose stars, which are my fanos, lour deep, deep eyes shine in my lonely room. Gilding the airy castles of Its gloom, And glittering on its chains. I know that you are true; These are not baseless images I see; Perhaps your dreams are reaching out to me. As my heart yearns for you. Dream on, though years go by! Rise not, sweet love, from the unworthy them©, Let m© be ever pleading in a dream, And you dream on for aye. 1 Graphic. Gambling. [Cincinnati Gazetted If the passion for gaming were con fined to the rich it would be unpleas ant to contemplate, but when it Is re membered—though faro and the little social game in the club over a bottle of wine, at which thousands change hands in the course of an hour, ar© frequent enough—that the keno rooms on the other hand absorb the earnings of hun dreds of clerks, students, young pro fessional men and laborers, week after week, while those who are dependent upon the vast majority of these spend thrifts'remain in poverty, are forced to the verge of starvation, if women, not unfrequently into that abyss of crime from which there is no rescue this: side of the grave—when it is remembered that for one club room there are twen ty balls in which the poor man loses his all, certainly it will be felt that the monetary aspect of this gigantic evil is one not lightly to be mentioned. It is all very well to say that these men are their own masters, But it will be found cheaper to exercise a guardianship over these children in the clothes of men than to support the people whom they will leave to the care of the public. For the sake of convenience, and to allow sufficient margin in the following estimate, we have given each game ten minutes, making six games for every hour. During the day we have aver aged the number of players at fifty, these playing from one to five cards apiece, estimated at seventy-five cards being played. These, at ten cents a card, make a pool of §7.50; at twenty five cents, §18.75, which the winner re ceives, less 15 per cent. —the profit of the proprietor. For six hours of the night we have estimated on© hundred cards and seventy-five players ; Satur day night, one hundred and seventy five cards and one hundred and fifty players. These estimates were made after visits to the houses at different periods, and a careful comparison with the judgment of many of the gamblers themselves. Although it is not as serted that they are exact, they are sufficiently accurate to afford some idea of the extent of the traffic now carried on within the city limits. In most of the rooms of the city each card costs 2;> cents. At one place, however, the trifling sum of 10 cent© only is required. The following table gives some notion of the money handled there: Pool of 100 cards at 10 cents $ 10 00 For six games, or one hour 60 00 For six hours, or one night’s play 360 00 Pool of 75 cards at 10 cents 7 50 For six games, or one hour 45 oo For fifteen hours, or one day’s play 675 00 Total for one day and night $ 1,035 00 Total for five days and nights.. 5,175 00 Poof of 200 cards at 10 cents 20 00 For six games, or one hour 120 00 For six hours, or Saturday night’s play 720 00 For i5 hours, remainder Satur day’s play 675 00 Total play for one week $ 6,565 00 Proprietor’s discount, 20 per cent. 1,313 00 $5,352 00 In the other keno rooms, where 25 cents is the price of a card, the pro gramme is something like this : i' >ol of 100 cards, at 25 cents $ 25 00 For six games, or on* hour 150 00 For six hours, or one night’s play 000 00 Fool of seventy-five cards,' at 25 cents 18 75 For six games, or one hour 112 50 For ten hours, or one day’s play.. 1,125 00 Total for one day and night $ 2,025 00 For five days and nights 10,125 00 Fool of 175 cards, at 25 cents 43 75 For six games, or one hour 262 60 For six hours, or Saturday night’s play 1,575 00 For ten hours, remainder of Sat urday’s play 1,125 00 Total play for one week $12,325 00 Less 15 per ceut. proprietor’s dis count 1,923 75 $10,901 25 Amount of pools of 10-cent game for the week 6,565 00 Amount of pools of four of her keno halls, 25 cent games, for the week 43,605 00 Total amount of one week’s pools $50,165 00 Profits accruing the proprietors.. 9,038 00 $41,157 00 Not more than one-fifth of the above amount in the pools Is In actual circu lation; the profits of the proprietors show about that amount. It is turned and returned through the hands of the players until, in all likelihood, it con siderably exceeds the given figures. Sunday has not been included in this calculation, though it is well known th at day is not absolutely on® of rest with gamblers. With the exception of the ten cent card room, only ten hours have been calculated in each day. Faro, roulette and poker are con ducted less openly, and an estimate of the money employed in them would be less satisfactory, and attended with greater difficulties. The profits of the banks are in the losses of tho players, ad the chances usually run In their favor. Beta are extremely large, often involving hundreds or thousands of dollars. Not Afraid of the Dkvil. —A colored man named Nelson Is owing a butcher on Beaubien street, five or six dollars, and after trying in vain to collect the money, the butcher and a friend put their heads together the other night and laid a plan. About midnight they culled at Nelson’s house, and he was awakened by a rap on the window. “Who’s dar?” he called out. “The Devil!” solemnly repliGd the butcher. “You is, hey ?” “Yes. i want you!” “Whot fur?” "You refuse to pay your butcher, and I am sent to take you to the bottom less pit!” “You is ?” “I am ! Come forth at once !” “Ize cornin’!” replied the negro as ho jumped out of bed; “I can't pay dat six dollars half easy In any odder way, an’ de old woman Is so mighty cross Ize glad to get away from home.” The butcher and his friend didn’t wait for Mr. Nelson to come out. — [Detroit Free Frees. “Courtship is bliss,” said an ardent young man. “Yes, and matrimony is blister,” snarled an old bachelor. It is high time for the usual trlohina howl. TAKE SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR For all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Spleen.
