Good Results.-We think it will be
readily conceded by all that the Tenn
perance Movement in this city has been
productive of good results. There is lit
tie liquor sold in open defiance of law,
and consequently there are fewer drunk
en- men staggering about the streets, and
less number of broils and disorderly
gatherings in the drinking places. We
heartily wish that the liquor-sellers of
Cedar Falls, following the example of
like dealers in other places, would unit
edly agree to abandon their illegal traf-
fic, and thus peaceably secure the result
that otherwise may require a Lengthy
period of litigation.

A Necessary Thingto be Done.-Our
Park was fenced last fall-all but the
corners where the intention was to have
gates. In the winter the trees that had
blown down and those that it was
thought best to take down, were cut up
and hauled off--ail but the tops. Now,
the Park is not in just such inviting
and desirable condition as it SHOULD be-
The gates should be put in, go that cat
tie may be kept out; and the ground
should be cleaned up, so that the grass
may grow and the place appear respect
able. We hope the Council will attend
to this.

; The Game of Life.

A. -
This life ia but a, game Of cards
'Ssieh mortals have to learn !:
Hes, cuts and deals the pack,
each trump doth turn:
81 bring . high card to the top,
i 4lnd others bring allow, @
Some hold hand quite flush of trumps,
While others none can show.
Some shuttle with practiced hand,
And pack their cards with care,
So they may know when they are dealt
Where all the leaders are; -
Thus fools are made the dupes Of rogues,
While rogues each other cheat, nd
And he is very wise indeed
5 Who never meets defeat.
When playing, some throw out the ace,
The counting cards to save;
Some play the duce, and some the ten,
But many play the knaye;
Some play for money, some for fun,
And some for worldly fame,
But not until the games played out
Can they count up their game.
When hearts are trumps we play for love,
ltsy And pleasure rules the hour
No thoughts ofsorrow check our joy,
81 In Beauty's rosy bower;
We sing, we dance, sweet verses make,
Our cards at random play,
And while our trumps remain on top,
Our games holiday. sa
When diamonds chance to crown the pack,
9 The players stake their gold,
And heavy sums are lost and won
BY gamblers young and old;
Intent on winning, each his game
Doth watch with eager eye,
How he may see his neighbours cards,
And beat him on The sly.
When clubs are trumps, look out for war
On ocean and on land s $3.50
For bloody horrors always come
When clubs are held in hand =. 800
Then lives are staked instead Of gold,
The dogs of war are freed
Across the broad Atlantic now, 4i
See! clubs have got the lead
Last game Of all is when the spade
Is turned by hand Of Time; si5
He always deals the closing game
In every age and cline.
No matter how much each man wins,
Or how much each man saves, a
The spades will finish up the game,
And dig the players graves. 5
