Like all the rooms in the house, the library is bright and sunny, with broad large pased windows coming from the ceiling right down to the floor. Upon the marble mantleshelf are vases bolding fresh-out flowers, whose fragrance fills the room; a few choice landeoapes and family portraits are on the walls. Lining the walls, between the airy lace hung, vin dows, are book shelves from floor to ceiling, upon which rost some three thousand carefully selected volumes, consisting largely of English comment aries on the Scripturies, and other helps to the comprehension of sacred writ, Next to these, the most notable thing in the library is the great number of volumes rointing to art, and the immense quantity of sketches and engravings, bound in magnificent folies and quartos or lying loose in portfolios. Among them are Cruikshank's works, of which Mr Gough has perhaps the finest collection in the world. It numbers nearly twelve hundred of the best etchings of the hamorous and highly moral pencil-advocate of teetotalism,

In this country Mr Gough is a temperance lecturer only; and it is true he is that preeminently in the States; but there he is also one, if not the chief, of the lyceum speakers, who spread all over the country every winter, addressing such hosts of people as English lebtare. Than e'er was drawn in sand through audiences can scarcely conceive. John B. Gough's usual fee is two hundred dollars, or about forty pounds. In some of the larger cities he receives eighty guineas per night, the profits of the assoolation which manages the lecture belog often quite equal to the lecturer's hopforarium. Multiply these figures per night by one hundred and fifty nights his yearly average of lestares and it will be seen that Mr Gough's income is equal to such a home as Hillside.. As a matter of fact it is equal to much more; and a less open-handed giver than Gough would be at his age wealthy. Gough has this home, and that literally Gough has an accumulated no com- petency upon which to retire from his arduous work, His charities have been boundless, though always anostentatious Fle means to die in harness, and retire ment from his active life is a thing that has never for a moment entered into his scheme of existence.

For thirtysix years he has been, except during the summer months, incessantly travelling. The distance he has journeyed would have afficed to carry him a dozen times around the terraqueous globe. He has delivered nearly sight thousand speeches; he has been heard by more human beings than any preacher living. Spurgeon began to preach nearly ten years later than Gough, and has spoken not more than half as often; Henry Ward Beecher was not heard of until six years after Gough had become the recognised king of teetotalism, and was in demand as lecturer from a thousand platformas every

That, in my life's remoter times,

Their dances and their songs were valu.

winter.
It is impossible to converse long with Mr Gough without his passing to the subject of temperance. For thirty-five years this theme bas formed the staple of his discourses. There is not an actor on any stage who can approach him in versatility. In illustrating his lectures he will play with equal sase the rollicking Irishman, the unbending Scotch descon, the frivolous coxcomb, the shoulder bear ing Frenchman, the brutal husband, the

If a man does not get drunk, he can never fall into the commission of those ghastly and incom prehensible crimes which only drunken men are guilty of. The Anglo-Saxon,' says Mr Gough, is not a brutal creature. The Anglo-Saxon is a tender-hearted man, who, in his normal condition, especially loves his children-plans for them, toils for them, pinches himself to provide a life insurance for them; lies awake at night pondering how he can advance their position in life. But what does the dranken Anglo-Saxon do? He puts his baby on the fire and roaste it; he ties his unoffending lame boy to the bedpost, and whips him, with a strap till the blood comes; he takes the blanket off the shivering body of his dying wife, whom he dearly loves, and goes and pawns it for a few penge to get a glass of gin,'
The comparative freedom of the Unit ed States from the cure of drink must be in a large measure attributed to the active, persistent, untiring efforts of John B. Gough.

THE SLIGHT ON MR GLADSTONE. Last year the World noted the strange mission of Mr Gladstone's name from the list of the invited to a State banquet at Windsor.

One day when Harry Hunt was down from London on business connected with the table, the governor said, "Come, Johnny, and I'll show you a few strokes." He did not know what I could do at all, and must have expected my play was very moderate. After about a dozen games, of which I won nine, he laid down his oue, and crossly said, "This Yon't do you've been idling your time and must go to a trade." So I did, and learned carpentering for two years. Then I felt I must be a billiard-player, and left home; and ever since that time I have been associated with the game,
THE SPOT HAZARD,
Mr Lee Birch, a member of the Union Club, Manchester, taught me the spot hazard. He had been in London, and had seen it played there, and being one of the best amateurs of His day, soon became so expert in its accomplishment that he could answer for a dozen or more hazards whenever he got into position at the head of the table. I saw that the stroke gave many points of advantage to whoever could perform it with anything like certainty, and for six months I prac- tised it incessantly. Hundreds of hours were apunt on that single hazard; but I have since reaped the full benefit that always rewards perseverance. It was easier on the old tables, because the elbows were more out away; but I never equalled the break made against Dufton, in 1862, which included 104 consecutive hazards.
