Oil! there is a dream of earlyyouth,
And it never comes again ;
’Tis.a rision of light, of life, and truth,
That flits across the brain;
And love is the theme of that earfy dream, » •’.
So wild, so warm, so new.
That in allpur after year* I deem, •
That early dream we rite.
Oh ! there is a dream of matprer years,
Mo're turbulent by far;
!Tis a vision of blood, and of woman’s tear*.
Fortbe theme of thatdrcnm is war;
And we toil in the field of danger aod death,
And about in the battles’array, ’ - • i
Till We find that fame is 1 body lets death, ^ ■
% That vanquished away.
Ob ! there is a dream of hoary age,
’Tisa dream of gold in smte—
Ofsums noted done on the figured page, .
TO be counted o'er and o’er; ' " • •
And we fondly trust in fir glutei itigdusi.
As a refuge from grief and pain.
’Till our limbs are laid on that lam dark bed.
Where the wealth of the world is vain. »-
And is it tbuafrnm man's birth to‘bi.*grave—
Jn the path which a Bare trnading J
I* there nought in that longrareer to save.
From the remorse ana ielf-upraiding 1
O yes, there's a dream so pure ami bright.
That the being to whim it t, siren,
Hath bathed in a seapf living it^bt—.
And the theme of that dream is Heaven.
,r . THE GAME STOPPED.
A great many methods have been adopted
fo-r the purpose of putting an end to the prac
tice of gambling—a practice universally look
ed upon with horror in most civilized commu
nities. Gamblers, however, from ihe French
woman who gamble in stocks on ’Change
down to the prudent Yankee who ventures to
play ‘pin on the hat,’ lo a certain extent, will
flourish everywhere. Some gamble for fun,
some for excitement, some for gain. There
are-more ways of gambling llian one. They
who seat themselves at the card table for a.few
hours diversion—nay, those who make a busi-
nes9 of swindling upon • a small scale all their
fellow men who do not happen to be ‘up to
snuff’ are not the most dangerous gamblers in
existence. The wide spread misery which
owes its origin to the stupendous system of
bank-gnmbling has no parallel in this or any
oilier land. - Compared with those who have
annihilated the capital of the United States
Bank in their gambling operations, minor de
predators sink into utter insignificance. There
is a ’deep damnation’ in ihe tear shed by ihe
widow and orphan over their ruined l opes,
which can never be equalled by the blustering
curses of ihe poor fobl who has suflered himself
to be roped in by ihe small' fry of black legs.
But we have been well niglt betraved into a
homily, when we were only aboat to tell a brief
sior\', for- which we are indebted to a (not
6ear</-less) Iriend of ours.
A certain town in a neighboring «$tate Was
Doubled by the frequent visits of h very noted
character, of the class lo which modern refine
ment, in its zeal to avoid unnecessary offence,
has given the name of Sporting gentlemen.
His presence seriously annoyed those who just
ly look upon the games of hazard as impious
and profano (ippeufs to tho author of all good
“Happy to see you gentlemen,” said the
gambler, with his blandest smile. “Please be
seated.”
The preacher mechanically sank into a chair,
wondering what was to come next. The Judge
very carefully locked the door, and placed the
key in his pocket. •*
•‘Now Tom,” said lie to the gambler—‘‘al
though you and J have had many a pleasant
game, I am determined that you shtifl leave
town.. Our people say you have pestered them
“ Another friend told me that he had occasion
to look through the probate offic 1 , a few years
since, and he was sin pused to find ihnt over
90 per cent: of all the estates settled ihere, were
insolvent. And, within a few days, I have
gone back tn the incorp imiioti of our banks in
Boston. I have u list ofthe duectorssince lh“V
s’arted. This ia, however, a very unfair way

Whenever ihe gambler wasitt town, therefore,
they watfclied him with ceaseless vigilance, un
til they were able to detect some overt act
With full and complete proofof guilt they would
then wait upon the magistrate, und secure the
utmost vengeance of violated law—tbe iufiic
lion of a fine of two hundi cd dollars. The pr<
fessional gentleman had seve*al times been
mulcted in this round sum in the course of two
or three years, but all to no purpose; he slid
persisted in his evil ways, to the great and over
whelming sorrow of those who loved honesty,
and despised all the ways of vice.
.- One morning, Judge Smith, the magistrate
of the district, was waited on by a zealous
yopng Methodist preacher, who had just been
plucod upon that circuit. Judge Smith was a
man of considerable shrewdness, and like ten
thousand others, much ntore disposed to preach
against vice than to ptaelice'upon the maxims
'he doled out so cheerfully to others.
I call upon you, Judge,’said fhe parson, ‘to
speak about this reprobate gambler who has in-
ft sted our village for thiee or four weeks to the
great detriment of the morals' ofthe rising gen
eration, whose tender minds are easily led a-
stmy from the paths of'virtue.’
‘What is to be done?’ said 'he magistrate
♦I believe there is a law for the punishment
of gaming. Is there noi?
‘Yes, the penalty is a fine of two hundred dol
lars,’ ‘ t s
Cannot this man be arrested and fined?’ in-
quirt.'ii the |nv,-teller.
•Yon are not aware, perhaps.’ replied Judge
Smiihi ‘that it is necessary to prove that money
has been lost or won before ihe fine can be in
flicted,’ *
Yes, I am,’sqid the preacher, his pale and
thoughtful countenance lighting up for a mo-
ment wil b a faint smile of anticipated triumph.
Yes, 1 am, and have taken care that witnesres
shall be provided. Two persons are ready to
swenr that thegnmbler wou money of a certain
well known judicial functionary no longer ago
than yesterday.’
The magistrate did not blush—perhaps be
cause be could’ni; after looking the minister
full in the face for nit instant, he burst into a
hearty laugh and exclaimed—
•Fairly caught, parson; I give in; but the truth
is, I am anxious to drive the fellow from the
town as you can be, though we may go to work
different ways. It is useless to fine him, if our
desire is merely to clear him out.’
‘Will you not enforce the law?”
Ceitainly, my dear sir, certainly, but there
are nq ny avuvs of doing it. No one has a
stronger desire to maintan the mujesiy of the
law ilmn I hav^. You see, parson, this law
was intended to drive gamblers from the Stale.
Those who so administer it ns to come nearest
to the accomplishment of the design prove them
selves to be most sensible.”
•I cannot say that 1 discover the drift or
force of your observations,” said the parson
rather displeased.
“If you will keep p rfectly cool, my good
friend, I will demonstrate their force to you.—
Just go with me.”
The worthy inagistaate just put a pistol into
each pocket, thrust a well filled pocket book
into his hat, and taking the preacher by the arm,
sallied iorth. In u few minutes they were at
ihe door of the dwelling occupied by the game
ster. A pecul'ar knock, which the Judge ap
peared peifecily well to understand, procured
them instant admittance. The gambler was a>
lone.
‘•Allow me toinlroduco you to my friend, the
Rev. Mr, Jones.”
game with intense and overwhelming anxiety.
The crisis was really approaching, fortune ap
peared to have declared in favor of the Judge
—the pile of money before the gamester was
rather diminishing, while Ins countenance un
derwent as many changes as the shifting clouds
during a thunder storm. A t last the Judge
made one desperate set upon a single spot.—
The hand of the gambler tremb.ed us he turned
the card.
‘•Devils and furies! you have won ? lam
broke, flat 1” exclaimed the gambler,
“God be praised !” fervently ejaculated the
preacher.
“ Pay your debt,” said the magistrate
calmly. * V
“Hav’nt got monny enough,” said the gam
bler. “I’ll pay you all I fcav9 with the excep
tion of enough to cany me from this infernal
place.”
The next morning the gamester was missing,
und never was seen in that village afterwards,
As the Judge and his companion walked
thoughtfully homeward, the former remarked—
“I told you, my reverend friend, there wete
difierent modes of administering ihe laws; some
of which, sir, are much more effectual tlnn oth
ere. The fine heretofore has done no good
but you may depend upon it, I have .fixed the
fellow’s flint this time !”
2?“ How often will the expected blow fall
quite as heavily as though it had been dealt
without forewarning! How often may the
tempest announce itself in the blood-red streaks
of gorgeous sunset—the tornado sends its fierce
notice in advance, and not the less devastation,
ruin—havoc be at hand, and not the less mise
ry and devastation follow in its train. Even so
with the heart of man! Strong in his belief of
timely preparation, lie may think to steel his
soul against ihe storms of passion, or the tu
mults of despair ; but when the anticipated mo
ment comes, how often will every prop and stay
fall with the first blast of affliction, which in one
moment casts the trusted bulwark prostrate on
the ground!

CHANCES OF SUCCES8 IN ME RCANTILE LIFE-
Tee above is the title of an article in the No
veptber number of the Merchant’s Magazine.—
The article furnishes strong testimony ag inst
the chances of success in Mercantile Life in
the United States. We think, however, that
it would be unphilosopbical to generalize the
conclusion to which it leads, by extending it to
other parts ofthe world. Thu chances of suc
cess in Mercantile Life are much greater in
Great Britain than in the United Slates, and
much greater or) the continent of Europe than
in Great Britain. The British and American
merchants are more speculative than those of
France, Holland and Germany, and in the
United States we have, in this' respect, far
transcended our British ancestors and models
Our country and its institutions favor specu
lation in all (he departments of life and occupu-
tion. We have a virgin soil of boundless ex
tent and fertility. Our free form of govern-,
ment imparls the widest scope to the principle
of competition. . The frequent division of es
tates gives additional force to the operation of
strenuous rivalry in industrial pursuits. Our
banking system fosters the speculative disposi
tion which thesecirciimstances engender. The
situation of the United States is, therefore, pe
culiar, in nursing and aggravating a spirit of
speculation, which measurably extends to agri
cultural as well as mercantile pursuits. To
form, then, a general inference on this subject—
to conclude that mercantile pursuits iu general
cannot be brought within a reasonable calcula
tion of chances—is. unphilosophical. But to
the particular subject cf these remarks.
It appears that Gen. Dearborru who was for
nt arly twenty years Collector of Boston, and
was therefore enabled tojudge of the vicissitudes
of trade, is reported to have stated in a lecture
delivered in Bosion, that among one hundred
merchants not more than• three in the city of
Boston have acquired independence." This
induced the ed:tor of the Merchant’s Magazine
to investigate the authenticity of the statement,

HARD CASE.
It will be remembered that some two monlhs
ago the steamer Enterprise blew up in the Rio
Grande, killed several persons, and severely
wounding a good many others. The coires-
pnndent of the New Orleans Delta says, af er
ilte Whiteville came alongside and took offthe
wounded, he looked around to see what hsvoo
was made of human life.
While passing through the crowd of sufferers
my attention was directed to one whom I tho’t
must certainly be dead. He was swathed in
bandages from head to foot—the blood oozed
ftom his numerous wounds in thick, muddy
streams, and his face was actually burned to a
crisp. At first view I thought his eyes were
scalded out—but I was mistaken. For a mo
ment I stopped to view this awful spectacle of
human agon;.’, and just as I was about to attend
to some other duty, I heard a voice saying in a
feeble yet resolule tone—
“Hello !—old feller—what have you got in
that tin cup 1”
Thinking the question proceeded from some
persoti indignantly said—
Yes, that’s allers the way ! A feller gets a
little hurt, and jist like a porpoise that’s wound
ed, his feller creatures rries to kill him !
To my utter astonishment I found that this
was addressed to me by the person described in
the above ns having been so terribly wounded,
“What can I do for you my friend ?”
“What are you got in that are tin cup? Is
it Yot-gut or molasses!”
“It is Whiskey. Wil!you have some?”
“You’re the feller. Jist open my teeth and
pour a little ddwn. I can’t sec well but I think
bitiers will do me good.”
I did as I was directed, and he drank tho
whole contents of the cup—about a half pint of
raw whiskey, and then said—
‘‘Thankee, old feller. Ye see I was asleep,
and when the burst-up took place I was on the
biler deck, and I believe I was blown through
one ofthe flues—but never mind, I ain’t much
hurt, and I’m more used to it than a good many.
I've been bloiocd up four times afore."
That man was decidedly the “hardest case”
I ever met with.
