MISCELLANEOUS READING.
FOUR ACES AGAINST FOUR KINGS

FOUR ACES AGAINST FOUR KINGS
Last Friday morning a Mr.. Lindsey arrived
at Cincinnati from Louisville minus hun
dred or two dollars, which he bet on four
kings and lost. his opponent holding the four
spots" The Cincinnati Gazette tells the
story, which we copy:
1.-The evening previous to the arrival Of the
boat he was invited into the saloon to take Il
hand nj small game fpoker Just for amuse-
ment' Thinking that the time would pass
less heavily, and that the ante would be small
and consequently he could not possibly
change much money he concluded to accept
seat at the table The others of the party
were Otis Forester and Daniel Ward, two
individuals who travel for game but whom
Mr.. Lindsey took to be business men. The
'keerds' run about even for a time, neither
party getting much the advantage and the
game appeared to be really one for amuse-
ment only.
Presently Mr.. Lindsey raised his hand.
as the cards were dealt to him, and one king
followed another until he held four crowned
heads! There was but one other hand in the
pack could beat his, and that was four aces.
By this time the Mound City gentleman had
got to be a little loser, so he resolved to make
up his loss and something over on his big
hand He bet cautiously at first, just to
draw on his opponents, who finally raised
him almost out of his boots by putting up
money to the amount of Sl02, which Mr.. Lind
sey was required to cover. He did SO, al
though it very nearly sized his pile, not en-
tertaining the slightest suspicion but that he
should rake down the funds and enjoy n
good laugh at his new-found friends. What
was his astonishment-to draw the descrip-
ton very mildlv-to find that Forester was
lucky enough to hold the only hand in the
deck that could beat his own-the invincible
four aces!
The Mound City gentleman was no fool,
though he exhibited slight degree Of yer
dancy in sitting down to play cards with
sharpers. and as the stakes were swept of the
table he began to smell large-sized mice,
and, after making an inquiry or two about
his new friends, the animal, tail and ALL was
fully developed. He was satisfied that he had
been plucked by sharpers, and swore out 4
warrant againt both Ward and Forester for
grand larceny, and they were required 10 give
bonds in $500 to appear for examination on
Thursday next, when the question will BE-
determined whether even four aces can't be-
beat, when played against the hand ofpolcc
court justice"
Subsequently both Forester and Ward
were arrested, charged with being common
gamblers, and also with being Migrants
Cpon both these charges they were held TO
bail to appear and be tried.

PEACE AND LOVE AT HOME.
Though cruel war and strife may rage,
There always should be peace at home:
Where sisters dwell and brothers meet,
Quarrcls and strife should never come.
Like little birds within their nests;
The gentle lamb and turtle dove;
So, all the circle of the house,
Should live in harmony and love.
An answer soft, and mild, and calm,
The course of rising wrath will turn,
While harsh and hasty words will make
The fire Of anger fiercely burn!
