NEW GAME.

Godey's Lady's Book has the
last new "social game Here it
IS
A small piece Of stick is lighted
at one end, and the blaze is blown
out, leaving sparks. 1t is then
passed from one of the company to
the next on his right hand, and so
on round the circle, each one say
ing, as he passes it to his neighbor,
'Jack's alive" The player who
holds the stick when the spark dies
out, must consent to have delicate
moustache painted on his face with
the charred end Of the stick, which
is then re-lighted and the game
goes on. Should the wearer Of the
moustache have Jack die a second
time on his hands, an imperial whis-
kers, or exaggerated eyebrows may
be added to his charms. While
Jack is in lively condition, with his
sparks in fine brilliant order, he is
passed carelessly from one player
to another; but when he shows
symptoms of dying it is amusing to
see how rapidly he changes hands,
for each player is bound to receive
him as soon as his neighbor pro-
nounces sJack's alive" In case
the moustache decorations are objec-
ted to, forfeit may be paid instead,
by those who hold slack dead"

TEE HouR OF PRAYER.-How quietly the

last golden ray, which fingered SO long upon
the eastern mountain, as Sif parting were
sweet Sorrow" hos disappeared. The last
rosy tint is fading from the evening cloud.
A deeper shadow settles over the valley
One by one nights unwearled watchers"
shine out in their star off depths" The
bird folds its weary wings within its little
nest. The murmur of the bee is still. "The
busy hum of man" is hushed. For brief
space the restless world reposes. it is the
hour of prayer and meditation-tbe Sabbath
of the lay.

Secure, that naught of evil could delight

II breathes its own blessed quiet over the
christians spirit, and disposes him to deep
and earnest communings with himself, and
with his Father. The world loses its hold
upon his heart; wealth, pleasures, honors,

vexations, which, herhaps, too much oscu-
pied his mind, and rufiied his temper during

He lifts his eyes 10 the magnificent firna-
ment above him, and feels he is but speck

som paid for it, and knows it outweighs the

TOY KISSED ME.
BY mss yoer 9. 8uyr,

You kissed ne. Ny bead had dropped low on
With feeling Of shelter and infinite rest;
While the holy emotion my tongue dared not
speak,
Flushed up, like fame, from my heart to my
cheek.
Yeur arms held me fast-ohl your arms were 50
bold,
Heart beat against heart IN their passionate hold!
As the sun draws the mist from the sea to the
skies,
And your lips chung to mine I'LL prayed in my
bliss,
They might never unclasp from the rapturous
kiss.
You kissed me! My heart and my breadth and
my will,
In delirious Joy for the momsnt stood still,
Life had for me no temptation, no charms,
No vista of pleasure outside of your arms,
And were l this instant an angel, possessed
OF the glory and peace that are given the blest,
would fling ny white robes unrepiningly down,
And tear from my forehead its beautiful crown,
To nestle once more in that heaven of rest,
With ysur lips upon mine, and my head on your
breast.
You kissed me! Ny soul in bliss SO divine,
Reeled and swooned like foolish man drunken
with WINE,
And thought 'twere delicious to die then, if
death
Would come while my mouth was yet moist with
your breath,
'Twere delicious to die if my heart might grow
cold
While your arms wrapt ne round IN that pas
sionate fold.
And these are the questions ask day and night:
Must my life taste but once such exquisite de-
light?
Would you care If your breast were my shelter
as them
And if you were here would you kiss me again?
