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 “Earth has no balsam for mistakes; Men crown the knave and scourge the fool That did his will; hut ttiott, O Lora, Be merciful to me, a fool!” 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.” had loved you less I could have told you that I loved you long ago. If ” But he suddenly stopped. A far away, whither-am-I-drifting look had come over the girl’s face, and his heart sank within him. “If my words are displeasing to you, Miss Penelope,” he went on in his brok en tones, “if I said what I ought not to sav, or you ought not to hear; if I “Not at all,” interrupted Penelope, looking wildly about her, “but I liaye certainly lost my spectacles.

The 1 -ratic Career and Tragic End of a Man Who Woe* v Hhe Goddess of Cha. Jce. Lone Branch, N. J., August 12.—On m (lie south side of the West End piazza [the other night yat John Pondir, still a l New York broker, with a comfortable A balance in hank. Ho has tried all the •fames from poker and seven-up down 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 the hitter end and seemed in a reminis cent mood. Do you know Ed Hillson, a wool hi ker of Chestnut street, Philadel- 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 use was built there was a big game ro going on there, and Mr. Scott t-^recl in, saying he didn’t mind ‘ing or losing $20,000.

It never be- i^es the one absorbing passion of life.. )e to the man who becomes this pas s’s slave. With Hillson it was the |* grand passion, and faro was his Lrite play, a game always full of fas- £ ion to men of high intellectual en- fnents. Hillson seemed to begrudge | ours spent in the ordinary avoca- l of business, albeit he was recog- l as the best wool buyer on the ret. e had aplomb; was possessed of a fi intellect and a wonderful fund of nation, but he could never resist . sight of a pack of cards. pllson had no domestic tics of itAi anybody knew.

Mr. Ransom Montgomery states the ( following: For twelve long weary months I was afflicted with Diarrhoea. tried several physicians and various remedies, all to no effect. I was re duced to a mere skeleton and gradually sinking every day; indeed, I was upon the brink of the grave. I heard of I)r. Biggers’ Huckleberry Cordial, and I used one bottle and at once felt the im provement. The second made a final cure. 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. rood for a had paint- The population of the United States is now estimated at $61,000,000.
