they were growing rich, and freely imparting
their riches in acts of hospitality, they had ren-

these wild and trackless regions, ions have been
erected, where the bewildered traveller may find
some refreshmeiit and a temporary place of re-

dogs to traverse the steep and rugged foot paths.
These (logs commonly carry, fastened to their
necks, by an iron chain, small bottles, filled with
spirits, which they reach to the traveller, whom
they ‘find lying. exhausted with fatigue, in the

GAMBLING.
Robbers of time are more dangerous enemies’
than robbers of money; because they take away
that which no money can purchase and replace,
And one of the most notorious robbers of time is
gaming at Cardu ,- for it tends to no improvement;
either of body or mind.
Is it the part of creatures, who are capable, by
iiitellectual and moral improvements, of rising-
continually in the scale of being; is it consisted;
with their rank, to spend their time in shullling
and distributing anumbercf pieces of spotted pa-
per, to the entire exclusion of all ideas, excepting
those few which belong to the game?
is our span of life in this world too long? Havg
we time more than enough ? VVhy else should any
waste their iinie with more prodigality than even
the spendthrift wastes his money 3 Why elsc
should they contrive to annihilate time by turning
their existeiire into a mere blank?
But besides that gaming is a waste of time’ it
has in ii manifold view, a Vely pernicious tenglnné
0.? 3 and accordingly, in every civilized state, it is
either totally prohibited, or limited by law.
It seizes and uvei‘poiw'.-‘rs the minds of people,
m“ 3 5°” 0" enchalllmem. and vviihdraws their
atteiiiion from the various necessary duties of
life. =lt irritates the passion, sours the temper,
II‘ ads to contention, to profane swearing, to ihtlfln.
‘pet-ate thinking. and to a general dissipation of
property and profligacy of manners. By anxiety
and excessive night-watchings, it injures health,
' Gatnbliiag for money is the highway to every
kind of villainy. The successful gambler obtains
his money at the expense of every moral princi-
ple. The unfortunate gamcster, stung to the
soul with the sense of his losses, atid rendered
