Bonner in a late issue of the Ledger: "Mr. Bonner. do 3"ou ever bet? Do you think it helps business, tests a man's sincerity, aida IPS morals, or, in the long run, fillb his pockets I HOW is it with Dexter,, Startle, and Pocahontas? Do you think a, bet on their performance would get two seconds lessout of theml" And then he goes on to argue the qu:sti°11There'iulissanothrnatterBeting on elections. Can anything be wore foreign to good sense, sound principles, and real pitriotisaythan to,turrr" politics into. a huge gambling canie? are they not bad enourrh bal- ready'6I)o they not stir up the passions of men enough,. without this Greek: fire of betting? There are two kinds': the larger betting, which -means real business, which is carried out in the expec- ' taticn of making money. There is another minor betting—for a hat, a suit of clothes, a supper, or .any. other -small ,matter. This, is mere pander to the other. It breaks down ° the principle'und smothers the con- science. A man who bets five dol: jars may not be stimulated as Much by that small risk, as if be had planted five thousand; but he is as really a gambler. If it is right for a respectable man to bet on election. a pair of gloves or a dozen oysters; then it is right to make up a bank for $50,000. It seems to me that every right- minded man, who has hitherto made bets on the results of political cam- paigns should loOk upon this matter more seberly, and refuse to 'add a spark to the fire which already burns fiercely enough. A betting man is always on the side of bad' company, That way lies all manner of knavery. A man who never bets is on a plain open and unquestion- able ground. Only a brutal fellow would bet on mother's chances, if she was critically sick. No man would bet on ins brother's life, if be was on trial for treason, or on his children's chances, if a mortal disezise should break out among them. Why not Even a, brute would feel that such betting was dishonorable. - Why shonld one bet ea that which should be to every honest man as sacred as his own -household, namely the affairs of the . common- wealth—the interests of patriotism? The virus of gambling is hard to ex- pel wheu once it is in the blood. Attacked by a Rat. that relatina to the • buxoth widOw of the late Joseph Read, a gentleman who had acquir- ed a large fortune in. Washington Market. ,The widow was decidedly taken with young Fagan. on his first appearance in the house, and watch- ed his work with an apparently deep interest. In fact she followed him from room to room, scarcely leaving him alone for a minute. This made Thomas a little nervous,. and, being rath7 sensitive, he imagined the widow suspected him of dishonesty, The longer Thomas remained in the widow's domicile the closer she watched him. Finally it made him so uncomfortable that he resolved to stand it no longer, He informed his employer of this state of affairs; and another man' was Sent in place. This did not suit the widow, :Andl,when the new paint- er made his appearance, she bade •him return to the. s rop and send Fagan to do the-woik,,saying that she wanted. -bim and none other to work for her. Faga. was accord- ingly sent to finish th job. While Fagan was 'busily work, Mrs. Read stepped up to hi and asked him, whether he _ was arried. On being answered in th negative, she said :—" Then 1 am_ going to take advantage of the leap -year, and make you a proposition of ruarriage." But, my dear ma am," said the youn.g man, blushing o the roots of his hair, "you DI ust sur ly be joking ; we are strangers, and am sure you do not tnean what you say." '- "If you think I' am joking and do nOt mean what I say, just go with me to my lawyer and I will make over to you $50 000 worth of of property!' said t e bouncing widow. Young Fagan, cony .manner that wa. straightway accona pani lawyer, and a. deed w. giving to Fagan. $50, need by her in earnest, her. to the s drawn up 00 worth. of property, which he .w is to become possessed of on the da of the mar- riage. Fagan, after • e agreement had been made, gave t p his work. He can be seen daily fding through the city behind a fast hors, which draws a stylish turn ut, and he is one of the best dresszd men to be seen on. the street. henever be meets one uf his old Churns, he bails him and says, " Well boys this is .better than. painting, h Slot.

It held on with such dei,ermination that Mrs. Conklin had some diffi- culty in shaking it off. Very soon afterward the wound began to in- flame ; the hand swelled grew numb, and sharp pains extended almost to the shoulder. She went to a 'phys- ician, who cauterized theu wond and treated her otherwise so that she has experienced relief. _ Poison v. -as set out in the hope of killing the ani- mal, but it shunned the tempting bait, and OD tire day foil:coxing made another attempt to bite Mrs. Conk- lin at the pantry shelf.
