Our Secret Drawer.

There is a secret drawer in every heart,
Wherein We lay our treasures one by one;
Each a remembrance If the buried past;
Each an enshrned relic Of the time that's gone
The old delights Of childhood long ago;
The things We loved because we knew them best
Tho frst discovered primrose in our path;
The cuckoo's earliest notes, the robins nest.
The merry haymaking round our home;
Our rambies in the summer woods and ianos;
The story told beside the winter fire,
While the wind moancd across tho window panes
The golden dreams drcampt in after years,
Those magic visions Of our young rom tncc;
The sunny nooks the fountains and the flowers
Gliding the fairy landscape oil our trance
Tho link which bonnd us later still to one
Who FL. the corner in our life to-day,
Without whose love dare not dream how dark
The rest would seer, if it were gone away
The song tha. thrilled our souls with every joy;
The gentle word that unexpected came;
The gilt we priced, bee tuse the thought was kind
Vhe thousand, thousand things that have no name
All these in some far hildcn Garner lie;
Within the mystery # that ccret drawer,
Whose magic spring though stranger hands may
touch,
Yet none may gaze upon its guarded store.

Double FiyE-pominoes is not, if
played properly, SO simple and childish .
game as many imagine. The best system
is that of Gives or "cribbage dominoes."
For your information We will improyise q
game. let US say the players are A B
and C. They have drawn for first play,
md A having picked up the domioe with
iewest peeps on it, is entitled to first
play. She Is fortunate enough to have
the 90, which she plays, scoring three,
because the two enls make number cx-
aetIy dirisblc by ) three times. B tol-
lows, playing the double niue, placing it
crossways, to show that it counts double
that - the two ends represent 1S-6 or
u, which is not dhisi5le BY 5, and, con-
saqncntly, Is scores nothing at ALL e
follows with O-2 and scores four because
the eads now represent 20 and 50 on, till
all the domlnoes are played, and those
which remain will not go" Arriving
At this stage, either the players in turn
borrow one from the surplus left after
eac took the original nine, or the "peeps"
are counted, and the one who has the
lowest scores five, or one, as may bo
agreed upon, to the name. A player who
plays all her dominocs out has this right.
SO there is double object to serve in
making fyes and playing ali the pieces.
1t is rather lively game, and admits Of
considerable ingenuity and calculation.

How TO PLAY TnIcKs.--A young maj
was studying at college. One afternoon
he walked out with an instructor, they
CHANGED to see an old pair of shoes by the
side of the path, belonging to an old mai.
at work near by.
Let us have little amusement at his
expense said the student. Suppose we
should hide these shoes. and conceal our.
selves in the bushes to watch his perplexity
when he cannot find them"
Il can think Of better trick than
that" said the instructor. "You are
rich suppose you put a silver dollar in
the toe Of each Of his shoes, and then we
will hide"
The young man did so The poor man
finished work soon, and went to put OH his
shoes. You can imagine his surprise when
he stopped down to take out pebble, as
he supposed, from the toe, and found
bright silver dol al; and when be found
still another in the other shoe, his feelings
overcome him be fell upon his knees
looking up to heaven, and uttered a long
and tervent thanksgiving, in which be
thanked a kind Providence for some un-
known hand to save from perishing his SICK
and helpless wife, and his children with
out bread. Do you wonder the young
man stood i'll his hiding place deeply affect
ed. Young friends, when you wish to en-
JOY real pleasure in witnessing the per-
pexity Of others, see if you cannot, some
way, imitatc the student
