MISCELLANEOUS READING.

THE GAME OF EUcHRE AND LIFE.-There
ID genuine humor in the idea that an ArkaD-
sas man finds the most natural expression,
even OF parting advice to his son, in the
language OF the card.table, and the manner
in which the terms of the game Of ''euchre"
are there fitted to the game Of life is in gen.
ious
Bob, you are about leaving home for
strange parts. You're going to throw me out
of the game, and 20 it alone. The odds is
against you, Bob. but remember always that
industry and perseverance are the winning
cards; they are the bowers Book farming
and all that sort of thing will do to fill up
with, like small trumps, but you must have
the bowers to back 'em, else they amt worth
shucks. If luck run agn you pretty
strong, don't cave in and look like sick
chicken on rainy day, but hold your head
up and make 'em believe you're flush of
trumps; they won't play SO hard agin you.
I've lived and travelled around some,
Bob, and Pvc found out that ss soon as folks
thought you held out weak hand, they'd
back agin you strong. So when you're sort
er weak, keep on bold front, but play eau
tious, be satisfied with pint. Many's the
hand I've seen euchred cause they played
for TOO much. Keep youreyes we'll skinned.
Bob; don't let 'em mig on you; recollect the
game lays as much with the head as with
the hands. Be temperate; never get drunk,
for then no matter how good your hand, you
won't know how to play it; both bowers and
the ace won't save you, for there's sartin to
be miss deaP or something wrong. And
another thing Bob (this was spoken in c.
low tone,) don't go too much on the women;
queens is kinder poor cards; the more you
have Of them the worse for you; you might
have three and nary trump. don't say dis
card 'em all; if you get hold of one that's
trump, it's all good, and there's sartin to be
one out of four. And above all, Bob, be hon
est; never take a mans trick wot don't be-
long to you; nor slip cards. nor mig for
then you can't look your man in the face,
and when that's the case there's no fun in
the game; it's regular cut throat So now,
Bob, farewell, remember wot tell you. ana
you'll be sure to win, and if you don't, GER
yes you right to get skunked!
