There I beheld ma-' nyofthe idlers who daily infest our ex change, and vagabonds and ,swindlers Trim gain a livelihood by plundering the youth of! our city. The games are diversified and eve- 1 ty system of hazardous plunder is adopted tb the ruin ot tho weak and unsuspecting mind. l Kot alo.mdo Wfcderire the benefit as it is termed from tin; sagacity of our own country- 1 men, but all systems that our sister states ! and foreign countries can produce, are with . the necessary accompaniment to suit the! 10-j utilities transmitted to our favoured c.ilv | I’heso no n have their routine in business:' they have choice of victims • and our vo'injr planter wlio luit. seldom visits the metropolis I "I tb" state i,- the first to rank in their favour;! tin'll t!ie young mid unexperienced merchant e chosen ; he, who should sei k to make, and j not com, but who too often bv Jiis ambitious projects yields himself a willing victim tot ' ■; ■i of th* ip in not discovers j his error until liif ruin is complete ; borne up by the instinct of hope which was planted in our breasts to a good end, he nightly hazards his little, and ultimately becomes a i ank rupt, in lortime and reputation, it is cer tain the accomplished and finished gambler will the moment that he sees these remarks.; light his segar with them, and thus in a cloud j blow them away ; hut still the reasons remains j on hi.-; mind, and ho is satisfied of the truth of - observations.

It is locked in my brain; sullico it, ■ that he may see ids own picture, contem plate the miseries that await a continuance in j the course he has taken, repent, and fly from ' the vice for ever. , Not to me shall he nwd i the horrid effects of the finger of scorn, for ; one so young, cannot ho totally lost. Poor j boy, I said within myself, too soon, has thy ; parent sent thee from beneath his wing; thon j art like t lie young sent forth by a loving 1 parent, proud of the early appearance of the | |d;mies of re.asoit, to he fledged and plucked by the hawks that fly above thee, around | thee and.with thee; and thy foolish fancy' | blinds thee from their carnivorous intentions. “Look,” said mv friend, “another;” at that : moment J saw the unhappy youth fling down ! a note double in value to the first he had | changed ; and the words,“two mouth’s oarn ! digs,” fell from his mouth. “Better luck bye i and ,ye,'”1x11110 from another voice.

Never shall I forget, the couti- | tcjiance ©f the lad. He tried to -smile, but ! alas ! he could not : he wished those about : him to think that in: cared not lor the loss;! hut lie was a novice in the deceptive art, and j he more plainly showed his misery. The j ! bud of health hud vanished from his check;, and I thought i could read in his counte-) ; nance haggard despair, and the dread of pov | erty. He sat musing; but it was painful to. ! read the iir<lox of his mind. I saw there de* | picted the pangs of druukomiess, tlie ulcer of ; sen-mil deha-emenf, the curse of a parricide by vile conduct, and suicide in madness.— J He rose from his seat, gave a look of deep 1 hatred at the joinder; tried to look chocr ; ful, yet looked horribly melancholy, and left : the room. As he descended the stairs, 1 ; heard him say, “bad luck to night.” and at I ! (he next moment a stripling of about eigh-j j teen years, vv.-t to tlte skin from the- storm,; worn with fatigue, took the place wf the un [ fortunate being wito had left it. “Ah, how] I do you do f” was the greeting of the pander: 1 this was answered with a familiar curse, and ! an apj ea) to the Deity to [irosper liis chances, j fie did not play the game of the novice; he - played cautious, and for a time was success j lid ; iiut fortune ultimately forsook him. 1 ! saw him deposit his last S-"> aft* r a venture j : of three hundred, and midnight found him a penniless, miserable wretch. He left the j table, and venting curses struck the pander j and called him an onticer, and in hasty con - fusion departed. It was then l bethought ine j of the crimes attributed to this {Hinder, and saw the inward satisfaction of his malignant j soul: and it did appear to me there was a thirst in him tor these vile crimes, which noth-! ing couhl appease. 1 could not help at thej moment of surprise, using the name of the Deity in exclamation: lor licit the shrunken ; sinew <>! inv arm grow tnf, and for a moment. j pas-ion had mounted tiie bulwarks of mvrea-i 1 ;o:| . I could have strangled the wretch :my ; passion was like the heat of the winters sun,] which, though it may save'nature from entire ] destruction, by cheering tiie aspect of crea tion, yet its rays are too feeble to penetrate) the frozen zone, and therefore its influence is j of short 'duration. The pander laughed, the others smiled,ami my friend and i went our way. 1 have since thought that man certainly was formed for hapjun* ss,and not for misery;! or the creatoreotild have accomplished lii>! purpose to a fuller extent; our senses would i hate been our plagues; and rationalities our dor pest atlbetioiis. \\ ho will deny that they are our chief pleasures and'yield us the grat ifications of life ? Why the sweet scent from the bed of (havers ! or why the beautiful va riation ol the seasons to mingle and give di versity to our pleasures and enjoyments ’! i Surely' not to curse. \\ lienee the delights ot music; the pleasures ot sculpture and of imijipng > Do these not blessimrs which cn- rich the soul ! NY tiy then should man, by the tacit acknowledgement ot a few vicious, yield tiie benctits of these orders of I’rovidence, and take in tlioir stead loathsome practices, alike destructive to the reason, and admit be ing like the pander to walk abroad in sonic- j tv, and not he pointed at as something to he j shuried ? We teach our children tear o. the ] snake; we know it possesses a poison, which ‘will stop the eurrenhof human life. YN by then, not bran the wretch who lays in wait, 'even like the concealed snake, to poison the minds of out 'feliddrcn, and lead them to j worse than death < Better were it i sav, that j children were unborn, than being horn, they I should be lead to that bourne of evil, where j honesty never looks,’ and humanity never 1 treads. Grimes like gambling are the actual ieflect of halgt; and are spread among us by (example; lie who leads to the path should therefore he coriHcmed eternally to the coil* i tempt of honest men. Gambling is an evil to | society for many reasons: it leads man astray j from the path of justice, and establishes a looseness of habit Which terminates in the l complete prostration of all the mental f.icul ties:—energy never reigns where tlie sloth of vicious habits bus once placed her fangs’. It is an injury to society generally, for the reason that its votaries, who otherwise would have been valuable -members" cf society, bc eoMio disqualified in every respect to dis charge the duties of citizens and of men. — Gambling is an injury to private society; to tho family where’to the follower belongs, for if often creates hy ith partial success a spirit of extravagance, that is ncyer found to exist among the orderly rich, and therefore most j frequently leaves the votary a penni less beg gar, and in want. And therefore do I won ! der, that in a community’wide art extensive ! as ours, affording unlimited opportunities hv its commercial ami general sjdrit of eri ! terprize to encrease the sources of human i happiness, £hat these evils are allowed to ex ist.

IIAPTM NESS—v rn veil ext. “The se'enes ofinv life have been sad,’” said a poor Frenchman, who had scrambled tip one of the most precipitous mountains of North YVitles, ahd was now pensively lean ing on his stick, and casting a mournful look ! towards the wide expanse of the wafers, which ] hounded ins. prospect —“The scenes of my j life have been sad,” repeated he, and a tear | silently stole down his cheek, as tiie painful ; recollection of the past struck upon his soul ] —“I have pursued the bubbles of happiness ; all over the world, and have lived to find- it i hut a phantom of tlte brain I' have stitlered ! the torture of the inquisition in Spain—l ; have been ahained to the guHies in Italy—l i have starved on the mountains of Switzerland j—l have groaned as a slave in Turkey —l j haveliinguisited henealh the republican ty | runny of fnmee—'and, lastly, 1 have been ; whippet! as a vagabond in England—and 1 am groWn grey id misery, and old age has ov ] ertakeit me in wretchedness!” —The tears j streamed plentifully down the checks of the nnfortunriro old onin, as this painful retro spect presented itself to his mind. The sun was just easting ids last rays over tiie wafers, and the west was tinged v>. ilh bright streaks of vermiilion and gold. Not a breath of air ruf fled the face of the deep—not a sound in va ried the car—all was stillness and serenity, ! except when the last notes of the ascending sky lark sunk on the air, while the leathered t songster himself was lost in distance. lie insensibly felt his spirits tranquiiized by the universal harmony which seemed to reign around—The halm of peace descended upon his son!—lie looked upon the wanderings of his past days with a calm, but melancholy re gret—lt was too late to begin life anew; and, after having spent his youth in toil and vexa tion, he now felt that a little rest was necessa ry. YVhen the sun had sunk beneath the horizon, lie laid himself on the turf, and soon dropped into a sweet and uninterrupted slum ber. Iu the morning lie arose refreshed.— Beneath the wide spreading branches of a ven erable tree, he constructed a simple hut.— his meat was supplied by the roots and the herbs of the valley ; and the crystal spring, which bubbled by his dwelling, afforded him a wholesome beverage. Every evening be held him sinking peaceably to repose on his bed of leaves, and every dawning day saw him rise refreshed and cheerful. In a short time he discovered that he was happy--The dis covery astonished him, lie was isolated— an outcast —depending on the spontaneous products of the earth for sustenance, and on ly , sheltered front the inclemency of tlte weather, by a cabin, over which the den of the wild beast possessed many advantages. Under such circumstances, that he eoulji be happy, was to him incomprehensible. After musing for some time on the strangeness of the fact, lie found out that all the miseries of his past life were to he imputed to himself;' that they arose from his own'fostlcssness ami ambition; and that the true philosopher’s stone, which converts every thing it touches into gold, the real source of all human happi ness, is contentment. HINDOO WOMEN. The forms of the women of the high castes are delicate and graceful; their eyes dark and and languishing; their hair fine and long; their complexions glowing, as if they were ra diant; and t!u ir skins remarkably polished and soft. The only feature about them that <loes not quite harmonize with European no tions of female symmetry is the size and pro jection of their ear; but, with this exception, nothing can he more lithe and Sylphlike than a genuine Hindoo beauty. Their dress is very elognnt, and upon a tine form is more classical than the fashionable bundles of knots, tatters, and bead dresses as broad as the tun bn 11a over a palanquin. 11111011 in the present year, DM, gives the belles of America our outline, which if it should please nature to till tip with biood, wottd certainly render them ofal! created beings the most shapeless, or at any rate the most unmeaning in shape, either for use or ornament. The close part of the Hindoo fi tnale dress is a jacket with half sleeves, which fits tight *0 the shape and covers, but does not eftueeiil the bust, and the in females of rank is made of rich silk. This •remainder of the dress is the sholiee, a large piece of silk or cotton, which is wrapped round j the middlan*! contrived to fall in graceful! folds, till it falls below the ancle on one log, j while it shows a part ol the other. It is gath- j ered into a bundle in front; and the upper end crosses the breast, and is thhnvn forward a-; gain over the shoulder, or over the head like ; a veil. The hands and feet are always adorn ed with rings and other ornaments, and some- ] times a jewed is worn from the nose. Even I tiie working trirls have their anciets and | armlets ol glass, tin, brass, or tutenag, and j sometimes of silver. The higher classes wear a kind of slippers or sandals, which are long, 1 turned up, and sometimes ornamented at the] points; hut the poorer classes go barefooted. The ornaments that are worn upon the person are the oulv eostlv articles in the establish ment of a iiindooV but they :lre of a nature not soon to wear out, and they never become unfashionable.

From Mr. Gait’s new novel of Bogle Corbet, we have extracted the following interesting sketch of an encounter with an Island of Ice: “A fresh breeze came sharply from the north, and so cold, that, the sailors said it must he Wowing from an iceberg. YVc saw nothing, although the moon was high; hut, at midnight, one of the men descried a bright ening aloiur the northern horizon, which left no doubt of the fact. At last thq brightness began to assume outline and features, and the wind rose as piereeingly and rude as Decem ber, while the enormous mountainous mass was evidently nearing. By its apparent ex tent, the captain conjectured we should pass to the windward of it without didicultv; but as it came nearer and nearer, the feelings of danger mingled with the eb'llness of the wind, and we behold with awe and astonish ment many streams of beautiful water leap ing and tumbling from the clift's and peaks,- as it drifted in the sunshine towards us. The wind, as the iceberg approached, slack ened, and we saw with the telescope, 011a point that projected from the side, a huge white hear couelmnf, vviiieh the sailors said, was..watching fur lish. No sight, could be more solemnly linj resstvc than the evidently advancing mass; at last it came so neai that we .feared it would he impossible to escape. ‘ Tiie vast peaks, cliffs, and pinnacles,were like a gorgeous city, with all its temples and palaces, shuddering as if shaken by an earth quake, The waters dashed from terrace io terrace, and every point and spire was glit terring and gleaming with countless flames kindled l>y tho sunshine. Terror confounded every one on board. A huge mass, which projected far aloft, and almost, ready overhung* the ship, was seen to tremble; and, with a crash louder than thunder, it fell into the sea. The whole dreadful continent, for such it seemed, visibly shook. T 1 v peaks and moun tains were shattered with indescribable crash ing ; as, with a sound so mighty that it can not he named, it sundered as if several islands had separated; and we saw through the dread ful chasm a ship under full sail beyond, coasting the weather side. Still the dili'er ent masses floated iu view; ami all day long we had our eyes fixed upon them, as they appeared to recede—fearful that another variation of the wind would bring them again around us.” ku>ui;i:n< r:.
