[Concluded.] Bat to what end, I would ask, is all this mental labor expended? I think any of uk that play can answer that question. I know I can, and do it cor rectly. It is expended to no end nor purpose whatever. It is expended in a fruitless effort to solve a problem that has no solution, namely : to tell which of two or more "hands" at cards is the best without seeing any except one; or to tell which of two cards will come out of alot without seeing either. We all know that the mental excite ment occasioned by this guessing work is so strong that it will enable us to keep ut it for from ten to forty hours, and perhaps longer, if we have money to pay'tor our guesses. And of what avail is it if we do guess well for a night, a week, or a year? Our experi ence has taught us that we will not quit after we have guessed well for a we wh time, but that 1 continue, and that sooner or later that portion of our winnings which we have not squan dered will all go to pay for our bad guessing. So that in the end we will realize nothing from the whole guess mg transaction except that reward which every man must eventually take • <► from the gambling table—our own dis appointment. The social and tinancia destructive ness of the habit is beyond 1 doubt the most objectionable feature I of tiie practice t«» those that billow it, and it i* till- (.IK- tlmt nlviuld make us »top following it.

It obliterates tin* recollection j of every righteous lesson of onr boy hood's better days; smothers the de sire and makes us absolutely unlit to mingle amid the home scenes of thejor permanent and better portion of the community where we are living, ^t invariably entails destitution while it occasionally begets crime. It causes us to lost* the confidence of ^ our em ployers and often our situations; and beyond doubt or exception it is the most destructive agent of any named in the calender of bad habits; of that moral stamina and iron will so essen tial for every one of us to possess who have no inheritance on earth except our hands with which alone? nnd un aided we must work ont mir destiny in life. Let me ask, did any of us over go to the gambling table and stake otir all (say, for instance, just one hundred dollars) and after losing it get up and ço forth to do battle with the world with the same moral cour age in our spirit, the same firm aud manly resolve in our hearts that wc would yet carve out an independence; that wc might one day live for our sp/ucs, if only for a little time, before we die; I ask, did any of us ever feel as strong for duty alter wc had made our losing, as before? I think not; and I have done that samç many, mauy times. It is not because we place a greater value on one hundred dollars, in itself f or perhaps so great as he who bas oountless tliousands; nor is jt because we have just one hundred dollars worth of moral courage and good re solves in our composition, so that when wé lose our hundred dollars we 1 are bankrupt in these good qualities, •Iso* Thért ore two reasons, how* flty«r r fftt ' Hs - demoralizing effect, a small one sad tbs true ones. great one, and I think The Äfft is, after we have lost our money the stubborn and unpleasaut fact is forced upon us that we must return to the scene of our la bor and there do just one hundred dol lars worth of that labor without any compensation whatever. However, this is no great reason for our dospon deucy, because the earning of one hun dred dollars in itself is not an under taking of any great moment. The great reason is that at the time the conviction is brought home to us in all its bitterness that wc have been earn ing this samd identical one hundred dollars for ten or fifteen years, and that as yet we have not realized one dollar of it; the conviction that we have lived in vain ; that so far onr lives to all «»nr friends and toourselves lius been a complete failure. This is the thought that paineth; the one that makes the heart and brain grow sick, and to some extent weary of life itself —occasionally entirely so, as wag the case with Mr, Thompson. You may sa y, Hli, well, tl» s feeling will wear away in a few da vs, ami we will be reconciled and eoiiteiit<*d again. I un derstand all about that; there is no feature of the practice in which I am So thoroughly v* nu*d as this one; few men of my years have worn it out ofiener than myself. But when once worn oilt and we .»re reconciled, why stay so? is it l*est E* » èf* ' °| 1 wear ''»tf this feeling mit tititil life itself is worn out? \Ye all ku»»w it is not. if it i» <lw r«-.l ilmt our lot ln,,M ^ *'*' ,,,M ' "f servi t'Kir, would it Dot bv* far liettcr to make tlmt s«»rvittide to sn,,,u extent vo|iiniH«*y o»stead of in voluntary, an it u.*si undoubtedly it ul pr«rs«*i»t?

If there are none who choose to join me in this, there is yet one recourse (and the only one for any pian) available for my own purpose. I hope and think that I have enough force of character yet remain ing to stop gàmbling, and 1 intend to do it. I don't publish this as an item of public interest as I am aware it would be a poor one. However, it don't hap pen to bo tlie public interest so muoh as my own that I am looking aller in this connection. Gambling has kept me destitute for years, and it has kept every working man I ever knew who followed it in the same condition. And it will continue to keep us so to the end of our lives if we continue following it. I wish it fairly understood that mv remarks are directed only to men with legitimate callings, and more especially to those who work for wages. With those'men who make gambling the business of their lives, I don't see that we have, or ought to have, any thing to do, except to Id them done. If it was not for ourselves and thousands like us, we would have none of them here or elsewhere throughout the land. In other words, if there were no "pro dtioing gamblers," there Would be no "professional pamblqia." A word farther !tt regard to the UU happy fate Of Mr. Thompson, and I have done seribblifigforever, ae I hof* I bave gambling, as I quit the one to the other to * We that have known* Mr. Thompson and associated with him; that have frequented his house and sat at the card table with him, should be the last of all to pass a harsh decree on his past career. He was unfortonate in the uttermost * sense of the term, not so much in life as in "death," and as such we should judge him with leniency Remembering that up to that eventful night wherein he came to a violent death by his own hand, he did nothing more than many of us have done who have gam bled in Pl&cerville during the peut two years. The only, yet material, difference in his case was that he em barked in a nefarious speculation on a larger scale. He was unfortunate in having friends that loaned him larger sums of money, perhaps, than any oth er poor man in the Basin would be entrusted with. He was an unfortu nate player, and became deeply in volved—staking his own money he lost—then borrowing his friends' be staked it with his own honor and lost both. He kept repeating this until the last final and dreadful losiog wherein he lost tlie one remaining tie that bound him to his fate—his hope. His friends and his own money—his honor —and his hope—all, all were gone. He was indeed bankrupt Then 'mid the silence aud gloom of the night, while braver hearts Slumbered, alone with the wreck of hia life strewed around him. traced there on the black scroll of despair, he read the word. "Death." Death would cancel all and. set him free. He paid the fearful forfeit of his life and his account on earth was squared. But oh! it was a poor, , poor, deed—God grant that we never know another of its kind. Most of us that had been his asso ciates were present at the funeral ser vice and witnessed the solemn cere mony performed by that worthy order, the Odd Fellows. Nobly have they discharged their last obligation, and paid their last sad tribute of friendship to their departed. Brother. They have borne his ashes hence from among the living, and laid it to rest in the silent City of the Dead. Whereto the recollection of hia follies and his faults should follow, and be forever mantled by those shadows which hover round that Farewell Spot where Life and Love part hands with Death Forevermore.
