-Erirdordjnary and exciting game.
The Boston Herald reports that the follow
extraordinary and exciting game of euchre was
recently played by old hands at the cards.
There was tremendously large concourse of
people present to witness the contest, the spec
tators numbering nearly thirty millions, besides
immense numbers of outsiders who were less
interested in the result. The stakes to be
played for were the largest ever known to be
risked in this game, and the betting was cor
respondingly heavy-the odds always being
largely in favor of the ultimate winners
Programme of the Gdme.-Sou h Carolina
and James Buchanan against Major Anderson
and Gem Scott. South Carolina deals and
turns up ten of spades (niggers). Gen. Scott
passes. James Buchanan having the best bow

old general having good ha d, draws Buchan-
ans best bower takes three tricks and thus Gu
chres his opponents. Major Anderson now
deals and turns up hearts. James Buchanan
passes. Gen. Scott says he cannot assist the
Major. South Carolina passes. Major An
derson turns down hearts reluctantly. James
Buchanan passes again Gen. Scott passes
again. South Carolina passes again. Major
Anderson thereupon says he will make clubs
trumps and says he will play it alone. The
hand is played-the major makes march, and

ODsEEvANCEs OF THE NATIONAL FAsT.-The
presidents fast day seems to have had an out
ward observance, at least, in all parts of the
North and through the middle states. Banks
were closed, legislatures adjourned, business
and in some cases even the publication of news
papers were suspended, and the churches were
well attended. The services were not always
religious, not conducted alone by the clergy
but the president has chad his day." and now
we shall see what shall come of it.
At New York the suspension of business was
quite general, and many sermons were preached
on the state of the Union. At Portland the
government and municipal offices were closed.
Besides religious services in most of the Bos-
ton churches, salute of thirty-three guns were
fired on the common in the morning, in honor
of Major Anderson. At Burlington, also, the
church bells were rung and thirty-three guns
fred for MLior Anderson.

THE 1ITTLEF FELLOW.

Some have thought that in the dawning,
In our beings freshest glow,
God is nearer little children
Than their parents ever know;
And that, If you listen sharply.
Better things than you can teach,
And sort Of mystic wisdom,
Trickles through their careless speech.
How il is cannot answer
But | know little child,
Who. among the thyme aud clover,
And the bees, was running wild;
And he cnme one summer evening,
With his ringlets DER his eyes,
And his hat was torn to pieces,
Chasing bees and butterflies.
Snow rlr go to bed, dear mother,
For I'm very tired Of play!"
And he said his "Now lay me-
In a kind and careless way.
And he drank the cooling water
From his little silver cup,
And said, gaily, "When its morning
Will the angels inke me upP'
Down he sank with rogueish laughter,
In his little trundlc-bod,
Aud the kindly god of slumber
Showered the peoples DER his head.
"Whnt could mean his speaking strangely"
A,kel the musiug mother then
ooh! twas nothing but his prattle;
What could he OF angels ken!'
There he les--how sweet and placid!
And his breathing comes and goes
(Like a zephyr moving soltly)
And his cheek is like rose.
But she leaned her car to listen,
II his breathings could be heard
"Oh." she mumured at the angels
Took my darling ut his woid."
