AN ARKANSAS FATHERS ADVICE
TO HIS SoN.-Bob you are about to
leave home for strange parts. You
are going to throw me out of the
game and go it alone. The odds are
agin you, Bob-remember that in
dustry and perseverance are the VIM
ming cards, as they are the 'bowers. !"
Book learning, and all that sort of
thing, will do to fill up with, like
small trump, and you must have the
bowers to back them or they amt
worth shucks. If luck is agin you
pretty strong, don't cave and look
like a sick chicken on a rainy day,
but hold up your head and make be-
Iieve you are flush Of trumps; they
don't play so hard agin you. rve
lived and travelled around some, Bob,
and I've found out that as soon as
folks thought you held a weak hand,
they'd all buck agin you strong
Sc, when you're sorter weak keep
on bold front; but play cautious;
be satisfied with a pint. Many's
the hand I've seen 'em eucred cause
they played for too much.
Kcep yo'v eyes we'll ski0ned Bob,
don't let 'em mig you; recollect the
game lays as much with the head as
with the hands. Be temperate;nev-
er get drunk, for then DO matter
how good your hand, you won't
know how to play it; both bowers
and the ace won't save you; for
there's sartin to be "miss deal"
or something wrong. And another
thing Bob, (this was spoken in a
low tone) don't go too much on wo-
men; queens is Kinder poor cards; the
more you have Of 'em the worse fer
you; you might have three and nary
trump. / don't say discard 'em all;
if you get hold of one that's trump,
it's all good, and there's sartin to be
one out of four. And above all,
Bob, be honest; never take mans
trick wot dou't belong to you, nor
"slip" cards or mig" for then you
can't look your man in the face, and
when that's the case, there's no fun
in the game; it's regular "cut-
throat" So now, Bob, farewell; re-
member wot tell you, and you'll
be sure to win; and if you
don't, it sarves you right if you get
"skunked."
A hungry Irishman, not long since,
in London, mistaking barber shop
for an eating house, bolted in and
begged to be served. The barber,
supposing from the length of his
beard that he wished to be shaved,
knocked up basin of suds, and
placing it before him, with a wash
ball i'll it, went to get the razor.--
Pat, without waiting for grace, sup
ped up the suds, and swallowed the
wash ball; and, on the barber's re-
turning with the razor, coolly nb-
served; There is no occasion for a.
Knife, honey; your soup is very good,
but your turnip was not quite boiled
enough" So paying his money, he
bade the astonished barber adieu.--N.

fact we have seeuand heardyery wit
