heavily, -an-1 had lost a good deal of Toney
Ire had just laicl a large amount on a certain
car(1, to w;n on his last turn, or, in gambling
parlance, i.f.alled the turn': ---and won. The
dealer asked him to take ep his cheeks, '
and then it wasdiscoveted he Wa dead.
Standing , -with one hand resting on the
shoulder of a friend,. also engaged in play

upon him, and without. a struggle or even a
sigh, he died. Sn sudden and so noiseless
eta his deatl., that no one was aware of it,
until attention was attracted to him by the
fact of his not taking up the checks when
he bad won.
4 The number of persons who have died
suddenly in gambling houses in this city
during the past year has been remarkable.
17, Ann at., is a gam hl ing hell kept
bra man generally known among the fra-
texinity as .Uncle John:. One night about
six Months since, a young.man, dressed in
the height of fashion; with gold watch, and
diamond pin, and rings, entered and began
to gamble. He wasAmlucky, and rapidly
lose his Money; then staked his watch—
that followed his Money. His ,diamond
rin(r was next risked, but still fortune was
against him. Then he took from his finger
a ring—a beautiful solitaire diamond—and
for -which he was allow .d $1-00. And now
he won. -Fortune seemed to have changed
and .w.t.s smiling :upon him. Every bet he
made he won, .until his 'stick' of _ checks was
larger than that held by the 'band !' Sud
denly his head dropped forward on the table,
and all was excitement and •confusion a-
round the table,. during which • time -Uncle
John quietlii raked in the checks,thereby
saving himsely over $6,000i*hich the dead
man. had, won. , Uponjthe, inside of the ring
miss engraved the yelling man's nante. He.
was ot a good fannlyli and was to have been
tnarried the next week ---his .friends were
, notified, aidtot, his WO -3,A*, sand it
was jiven outthat he rigd died":3fiddenly of
'disease:while Adding a Tif3WsPatiler at

of tlie. poor thitir ho died- -atiddenly;'' in. a

There bave:. been at least half a dozen other
sudden deaths in faro banksin thia City
during the past year, to say nothing of three
who have committed suicide there. It is
'estimated that there ale no less than two
hundred faro banks in this city.. Add to
this the sixlinndred -cpelicy' shops, and other
modes of gambling, And thelexhibit is truly
startling." •

Discovery of a New Manuscript of the
Pentateuch.
Most of our readers are Aware that the
originals of the Books of Scripture .are not
now in existence. :Copies in manuscript,
technicaliy..terined caiees._ are all that we
have. no' to depend on: The .'earliest codi-
,ces of -the Old Testament eXtant . are he
Spanikb. They may be,attributedsto the
.ninthor tenth centuries, and are : beta in
high 'esteem bY the Jews, as it is asserted
they were corrected by the- gedOX Rifle), a
mantiscript Supposed to have beeu- of great
antiquity. -Nevertheless the •Hebrew
scholar has often- wished from the bottom
of .11.iS _•heart that- a copy of the. .aneient
scripteiesanight be found, which . helonged
to tlie halcyon...days of thesacred tongue,
when every king was eominandedto write
him a copy of the law in a book. -:Perhapi..
thia,wisli may lie gratified tkt an early day,
80 fa 1,as regards the Books of MotMki•
ore w as originally written in a e di frereii
charaeter from that one now, in, use, though
cOgaate to it.. When or why- the change-
WaS , made is an undecided, cpipstion. Most
likeilyr during the fleabylonian Captirity, the
children of Israel- learned', to write :their
language,: which was )ike the Chaldaic
Shemitic, in the Onddaic character, and
continued to rise that (Tharacter after their
i•eturn to their ov n country. But -scholars
Ape not altogether agrekttPupon the matter.
The Samaratiaiii—a nfort'grel • people Who
inhabited Santa:lie- after the'. ten tribes . had
been carried away, with very little israel-
itish in their - veins, but Who mixed
tip„Judaism and idolatry. Worshipped in -a
temple on Mount clerizini, which they built
in opposition to, the one on .Mount
received, it is said through. a Levitical
.priest- sent td them .from Babylon; a eOpy of
the Pentateuch written in the oil Hebrew
character. This manner of w Thing they
ever preserved. It appears now on coins,
medals, some minor writings and in the
Samaritan Pentateuea in Walton's, cele-
brated Polygtot7 The latter, -however, is
not considered pure. \ There are also in -the
Britisn'Museurn several volumes of Sa-
maritan that include the Pentateuch and
some liturgies and ceremonials. Of their
age we cannot speak;' -but they are all in
the ancient character, whieh 1--Iavermek
says, is " identical with the 'old Hebrew"
Owing to the exclusiveness of the &marl,
tans, and the jealous spirit with which they
have alwilys secluded their writings, until
within the last twenty yeat.s, it has been a,
difficult matter to obtais. any of their manu-
scripts. Withia the period referred to,
however, a change has become over the
spirit of the Samaiitans ; and the vcSlumes
now in the British Museum, have been ob-
tained. Germany; likewise, has p roc u i•ed
Some inanuscripts,Ithrough Protessor Patter -
man, of Berlin. Among them is a Penta
teauch. But, a feii years since, a discovery
of great importance was made. Dr. Basil-
tus a distinguished member of
the Russian establidiment in Jerusalem,
"got h91d," sve are infoimed. "of it large
seized Yeliatra Samatitan. Pentateuch., de-
factiVe in a few leaves at the beninning
and end, and which appears to have I ee
written during the days of the firsit fernole,
which --was destroyed B. C. 588. A state-
ment, in a marginal observation, that the
volume escaped aperil of fire during the
time'of Zeruboabel, B. C. 530. This work
of Dr. Lavistion's, wi 1 li should be far ad-
vanced now, is of great importance, and can-
not fail to awaken the li iclie t interest :
mongst those who search the SsriptureS in
the original. The learned Professor avet s
thao he has "noted down ten thousand vari-
ations" from the received Hebrew text.—
text. He does not inform us with regaisi to
their importance. The age of . the manu-
scripts from which the Samarit4in Pentat-
euch in the Walton Polyglot: is derived is
quite uncertain. Some scholars have at-
tributed them to the Macedonian period.
The one in possession of Or. Lavishon, thus
far, seems to be a veritable antique, and
May be expected to shed some light upon
those which' have preceded it. Indeed a
copy of the Book of Moses written when
the first House was in its glory, is no small
addition to literature, and must be regarded
with emotion. —I I ...eppleot 0.ms' s Journal.
The Emperior Napoleon generally goes
hunting every Saturday this winter,- in a
queer old post -chase, with a jolly party of

driving in the Bois de Boulogne apparently
quite free from care,.on any -pleasant day.
