EPITAPH ON A GAMESTER.


Here lies a gamester, poor but willing,
Who left the room without a shilling.
Losing each stake, till he had thrown
His last, and lost the game to Death;
If Paradise his soul has won,
'Twas a rare stroke of luck i'faith!

Suicide is very common among the New Zealanders: thus, a woman who has
been beaten by her husband will perhaps hang herself immediately.
