WITH pleasure, I have read your late poem on
Euchre,
And own that I've played it, but never for lucre,
With trio of friends taking part in the play,
For amusement,-'pon honor in no other way
And think, from the game more truths may be
shown
Than are drawn from the trick of ''gOing alone, "
You mix up the cards in a nOnChalart way,
Or shuttle the deck, as the card-players say
They're cut, and you deal from the left to the
right, s -----s
With the trump card turned up, and til played,
kept in sight;
Then the player whose duty it is to begin
SAYS, q n jpass''-if he holds not the cards that
will win
The man who is playing the great Game Of Life,
And longs forthe blessings of home and wife,
Mnst beware lest he's caught in trap by shrew,
The cords Of whose binding no priest can undo 4:
Or, he'll wish, when wishings forever too late,
He had passed through the world, in bachelor
state.
Let the youth who is tempted to quaf the red
wine,
Sparkling and fresh from the vintage OF Rhine,
Or, to drown in the bacchanal revels Of night
The gOadings Of Conscience, remember the bite
OF the venomOas adder that turks in the glass,
And, with rssclute irmness, let the poisoned cup
pass
Let the maiden whom Cupid, with unerTing dart,
From his quiver and bow has shot through the
heart
Not be caught by the brOadclOth and glitter of
wealth,
But be sure that her lovers Of worth and good
health, C--g L
Or, the jack may turn out to be an ass,
And she'll wish she had said, at the first, yOumay
Pa
Ifslander should ever assail your good name,
Or the tongue of the enyious distract from your
fame,
Don't heed them at all; your duties fulfill,
With a conscience devoid Of all malice or i'll,
Or you'll find in the end, to your sorrow, alas!
'Twere better, far better, you had let them all
pass
If Satan assails with temptations SO strong,
That you wave and doubt 'twixt the right and the
wrong,
Resist, and he'll fly, so the Scripture dothsayi
But stil, despite it, he comes in your way,
Lean lesson from Euchre which frequently
wins,
Pass tle devil, and foreswsre, for the future, your
sins.
Play the great Of Game Of Life so that when it is
done,
And its honors and victories all have been won,
When you're through with its labors and sOrrows
and toll,
With faith, you may shuttle mortality's coil
And sleep with the just, til the last triumph is
played,
Then pass TO the crown which never shall fade.

1er May his shadow never grow less, nor
the gold in his pocket diminish, for in his un-
numbered charities and mercies dropped so
unostentatiously here and there he is perhaps
doing more good in his day and generation,

Oh, how much the world needs great hearts
that are able to comprehend little the learned,

humble duties that would make thousand
hearts leap for Joy, and push on. looking for
some wrong to right, some great sorrow to be
assuaged; and failing to find the great work,
live and die incarcerated in their own selfish
ness, and do nothing at all.
This rough mans nature seemed the nature
OF the little child. His quick eye saw at
glance; his great heart warmed, and his great
hand executed his little works Of charity--so
small that one would have expected to see
them slip through his fingers unaccomplised-
yet they were done. The recording angel

"And Them

fAuQ Lueu-"
MANY years ago there was a good man who
lived at one Of the Italian Universities. One
day young man ran up to him with face
beaming with JOY, and said that his greatest
wish was now fulfilled, his parents having Just
given him permission to study law. @Sono
I am come" he added, "to the Law-sehooI Of
this University on account Of its great fame;
and I mean to spare no pains to get through
my studies as quickly as possible" In this way
he went on talking for q long time. When at
last he came to a stop, the good man, who
had been listening to him with great patience,
said;-''Well, and when you have got through
your course of studies, what do you intend to
do then?"
"Then I shall take my Doctors dsgres," /"
said the young man. 70
"And then?" asked St. Filippo Nsri sgsiR.
"And then, continued the youth, Il shall
have a number Of difficult cases to manage;
and I shall catch peoples notice By my elo-.
qnonce, my zeal, my learning, my avuteness,
and gain great reputation" !"
"And then2" repeated the holo mau.
"And then" continued the youth, "why
then there cannot be aquestion / shall be pro-
NOTED to some high Office or other; besides I
shall make money and grow rich"
"And then?" repeated St. Filippo.
"And then" added the young lawyer
Chen I shall live comfortably and honorably,
in health and dignity, and shall be able to
look forward to happy old age"
Oil was not all this to '1ook at things seen?"
But the holy man had not done. Again he
asked "And then?"
sand then" said the youth, with faltsring
voice-"and then-then I shall die"
Here St. FilippO again lifted up bis voice,
and solennly said, "And then7"
This last "And them" was brought home
! by GODS Spirit to the young mans heart
From that time he ceased to look at things
seen. He began to feel the power Of thingl
Unseea.

meira me Motive. .

'GIvE me a..notive," said a young and en-
thusiastic girl to q minister Of Christ, and I
can do anything. Here is the true secret Of
success in all enterprises. Motive power has
conquered the world It is the motive power
which inspires the heart with courage which
infuses the win with courage; which revives
the hand Of action. The miser teaping up his
shining piles; the pains-taking Student who
sees honor and fame in the d tant future,
with shadowy figures bcekoning him on. So
the conquerer, wading through crimson tide
to reach the laurel crown Of martial glory has
a motive. Selfish, no Doubt but most Of the
worlds tolers hatve the taint Of sslfshness
upon their motives.

THTRr's game much in fashion-I thinkit's called
Euchre,
Tho Ineverh have played it for pleasure orLuere,
In which when the cards are in certain eondi-

And one Of them cries in a confident tone;

While watching the game lis whim Of the bard's,
A moral to draw from the skirmish Of cards;
And 10 fancy he finds in the trivial strife,
Some excellent hints for the battle Of life,

The winner is he who can go it alone
When great Galilee proclaimed that the world
In a regular orbit was eeaselessly whirlcd,
And got-not convert for ell Of his pains,
But only derision and prisons and chains,
at moves for all that, j." was his answering tone
For he knew like the earth he could go It alone.
Alas for the player who idly depends,
In the struggle for life upon kindred or friends
Whatever the value of blessings like these,
They can never atone for inglOriOus ease,
Nor comfort the coward who finds with groan,
That his crutehes have left him to 'gvit alone. "
There's something no doubt in the hand yOu may
hold #-a+
Health, family, culture, wit, beauty, and gold,
The fortunate owner may fairly regard,
Each one in his own way most excellent card,
Yet the game may be lost with all these for your
own
Unles you have courage to $50 it alone"
In battle or business, whatever the game,
In law or in love, it's ever the same;
In the struggle for power OF scramble for pef
Let this be your motto: 'Rely on yourself"
For whether the prize be ribbon or throne,
The victor is he who can ego it alone"

Would Not Kiss q Rebel.

The Carlo correspondent of the Missouri
Democrat relates the following incident in
connection with the notice of skirn1ish near
that point with some rebel gun boats:
During the highest excitement, several la
dies, most Of them wives Of American officers,
were in the parlor of the St. Charles Hotel
sharing the excitement and watching the
movements on the river. A rebel spy named
Chapel, came into the parIor, and in CONVEX
sation outraged those present by his bold
and insulting language. Some left the room,
while others expressed their indignation and
disgust. Finally he called the child of an
American officer, playing at its mothers side,
little girl ofthree years, and asked her to kiss
him. She bashfully hesitated, when he urg-
cd. "Gome won't you ki:s a rebel2" With
the scoiuful air of an indignant queen, she
replied, "NO, will not ..
One Of the ladies' unable to restrain her in
dignation, cried out "That is right that is
nobel Never kiss a rebel and traitor to his
counuyI"
Several ladies and gentlemen, have made a
subscription sufficient to procure a handsome
silver cup, to be given to the child as mem
orial of the scene. 1t is to be inscribed on
one side "Julia Bell Dunlap, December l,
1861" On the other, "Would not kiss q

warned them they would have to do it in the
face of six loaded muskets, which would be
used by men who would not finch from then
duty. They took sober second thought, and
marched away, but presently about fifteen
came back again drunker than ever, lead by q
young officer, who was desirous to tear the
id thing of flag down. In the meautime,
had left my house and gone to my Office,
leaving my wife in charge. She came forward
and expressed her intention of shooting the
first man who attempted to haul the flag
down. The officer was slightly scared and
said -
MADAM, you won't shoot viii you? ;"
"You had better not try the experiment, "
said she.

She instantly drew from her pocket one oI
