FOR _BETTER_--OR WORSE.

[At the Anti-Gambling Demonstration recently held in Exeter
Hall, Sir RICHARD WEBSTER, the Attorney-General, said that it
was supposed by many that it was impossible to enjoy athletic
pursuits without becoming interested in a pecuniary sense. He
should therefore like to add, not for the purpose of holding
himself up as an example, that, during his entire interest in
sports of all kinds, he had never made a bet.]

Ah! these are days when Recklessness, bereft of ready cash,
Will strive to remedy the void by speculative splash;
It is a salutary sight for Bankruptcy and Debt--
Our good Attorney-General who never made a bet.
