One of the most. singular wagers we ever
heard of, says The Buffalo Courier, was made
in Chicago on the day before the municipal
election in that city. The bet was between a
Water-street merchant and Ned Osborn of the
fremont House, the largest cigar and tobacco
dealer in the city, and was to the effect that
if Wentworth was not elected, Osborne should
have the privilege of kicking the Water r-street
merchant aforesaid from the fremont House
to Springer street. The day after the election,
the merchant, having lost, came to Osborne's
store, and presented his person to him for the
contemplated kicks, and demanded that Os-
borne should take the stakes. Osborne had
been training his right leg all the previous
day, and had armed his foot with heavy
cowhide boot, with soles as thick as two clap
boards. The merchant started up by the
fremont, Osborne delivering heavy kick as
he started, but drew back his foot with a spas
modic action and paroxysm of countenanee
absolutely pitiful. He tried another one, but
the loser f1inched not, and kept on his way
undisturbed by the volley he had received.
The result of this was worse than the first,
and he fairly curled up on the ground and
howled with pain. The merchant stopped
and calmly inquired: esWhy don't you take
the stakes3" "What have you got in the base
ment of your pants ?'' cried Ned. ssMilwau-
kee BRICKS" shouted the merchant, sand we
arn't within mile of Springer street yet"
Osborne subsidized, paid the champagne, and
has been wearing list slipper ever since.

PICTURES IN THE GOALS.

Sitting by my pleasant freight
In the dark and dull December,
Making pictures in the ashes
OF slowly dying ember-
Lo from out the ashes rising,
Touched as by the sunset CLEANS,
Is the village of my childhood,
That ever see in dreams.
There, between the rows of maple,
Is the broad and grass-grown street;
There, behind the shadowing branches,
Stand the houses, plain and neat.
There, beneath yine-covered porches,
Are forms that never more will como,
For those hearts have ceased their beating,
And those lips are cold and dumb.
But upon the sunny hillside,
Where the village church does stand,
The shadow of the spire is pointing
As the finger of a guiding hand
Wandering ever in the graveyard,
From morning red till set of sun,
Pointing where we. too, shall slumber
When our little life is done.
Yonder is the dim, blue mountain
There, upon the plain below,
Stands the farmhouse, with its windows
Blazing in the sunset glow.
A mist now rising from the valley
Shuts the blue-stream from my sight,
But know upon the surface
Float the water-lilies white.
Tonder are the clover meadows,
Where the twinkling air is seen;
There my happy little schoolmates,
Playing on the village green!
Forever children-still L love them
Tears are filling fast my eyes
The burning ember now has fallen;
Ny village in the ashes lies.
o, in vain we're ever striving
After things beyond our reach,
Little needing all the lessons
Life's most simple things may teach
Little thinking what rare pleasures
Simple joys may bring our souls
Even fading, dying embers-
Even pictures in tho Goals.
