“Tn 1884 Hillson’s luck turned. His
t Anniissions as a wool buyer did not
furnish the wherewith to gratify his
elegant desires. He had sailed with
a more swelling port than his faint

means did grant continuance.
“He had friends,” continued John
Pondirj “who would have loaned him
$5,000. He was too proud‘to tell why
he was poor. Hillson became tired of
the struggle, and one June day he left
Philadelphia for Niagara Falls. No
body knew where he had gone. As
soon as the train reached Niagara he
gave a liackman $5 and simply said:
“ ‘Drive to the falls.’
“Once there.he laid off his coat and
ended it all by one wild leap into the
angry, death-dealing current of the
river. His body was never found. The
horrified liackman found a hill of sale
for his furniture, covering the rent then
due his landlord on Chestnut street,
and a note asking the same person to
give a colored hoy . he had around his
office his last $5, enclosed. The last
page of his letter read thus:
“I have called the turn. I have
missed the call. Tell the boys Pin in
hard luck and they will not blame me
if I leave the ills I have and fly to oth-
s hat I know not of. It is best so.’ ”
John Pondir rose up sadly, lit a fresh
cigar and said: “Young man, as I told
you before, never gamble.”

But he suddenly stopped. A far
away, whither-am-I-drifting look had
come over the girl’s face, and his heart

The 1 -ratic Career and Tragic End of a
Man Who Woe* v Hhe Goddess of

A balance in hank. Ho has tried all the

to Y e up, and, last of all, cribbage, and is
not much the worse for wear for his par
ticipation in some of the greatest games
of chance ever played on the American
continent. The clover blossom in Pon
dir’s buttonhole looked drooping and
rfaint with the heat of the day, and the
Alert and alive New York broker
tossed aside a cigar he had smoked to

Do you know Ed Hillson, a wool

iV h ?” some one asked. “We both met
t- ,.rty years ago at Joe.Hall’s game in
Walnut street.”
“Indeed I do,” replied Pondir, “and
thereby hangs a tala. No man ever
lived who was fonder of all games of
chance than poor Hillson. He lived in
Philadelphia for forty years, and was,
1 think, from Alsace or Lorraine, for he
was certainly half Frenchman. Hillson
never had the Napoleonic courage or
nerve needed to make a great gambler,
but with him it was the fatal passion
for cards. Men like Thomas A. Scott,
ill nerve, with a will like Bessemer
teel, make gamblers (when they do
ay), of whom the professional game-
er is always in terror. And I have
ard it told by a prominent Philadel
i.ian that about the time the Girard

Hurry and Dispatch.
Public Opinion.
Among the many causes of poor and
inefficient work is the habit of hurry
which takes possession of some busy
people. Having, or imagining they
have, more to do in a given time than
can be done properly, they grow con
fused, agitated and nervous; and under
this pressure they proceed with the
work in hand without requisite deliber
ation and care, perhaps omitting parts,
producing at last an imperfect and in
ferior performance which can neither
be permanent nor satisfactory. There
is hardly any employment, from the
simplest manual work to the most com
plex and difficult manual labor, that
does not suffer from this cause. The
dwelling house in process of building
is to be finished at a certain time. With
proper forethought and system it would
have been done, hut the time approach
es and the work is still incomplete.
The future occupants are impatient,
the contractor is anxious, the workmen
are driven, the work is hurried through
and annoyance, dispomfort, and some
times danger, ensue and repairs are soon
found necessary.
The business man undertakes more
than he can manage, the days are not
long enough for his needs, he is agitat
ed by the constant pressure, driven by
conflicting claims, his business suffers
for the want of a clear and cool head,
his health suffers from continual and
unrelaxed exertion, his family suffers
from his deterioration, and general dis
aster ensues. The physician, with
many other calls to make, hurries
through the visit* neglecting some im
portant symptom, and the patient dies
the lawyer hurries through his plea
and loses his case; the preacher hurries
through the preparation of his sermon
and fails to make an impression; the
artist hurries on his picture to comple
tion and his jaest conception is not there
the teacher hurries through a prescrib
ed course of instruction and the class is
left destitute of the more important
elements of knowledge. It is not too
much to say that a large proportion of
the unhappiness, the ignorance, the
loss of property, and even the loss of
life that is endured in the world is to
be directly'traced to the hurry and
drive which characterizes so much of
the labor performed.
