 need we inquire : he pays his losings cheerfully, and 

 without a murmur. Let others, of whom this was 

 expected, from their position in society, take a hint : 

 for it matters little who or what he is, the man who 

 has honesty enough not to risk more than he can pay, 

 brings no unpleasant feelings to his family or friends, 

 but, in accordance wdth his position in life, enjoys the 

 respect of all who know him. 



I make not the least doubt but that those who are 

 in no way advocates for betting, and many who have 

 suffered by those who are so, will cordially join me in 

 asking how such a man as I have described, as bet- 

 ting on the colt and losing his money, could have the 

 folly to mix himself up with a pursuit of which he 

 had not the necessary knowledge for his guidance ?
