0V& GAMBLING TRAGEDY.
[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

and it i* till- (.IK- tlmt nlviuld make us

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

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,

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,

ner of gambling for money, for one
year or forever, while we are associated
in these camps. 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."

*
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.
