Billiards,

The s'sensation" of the week among the
"knights of the eue'' in this village. has been
the opening of Charley Sipes' billiard saloon
Since The burning of Paul Bsck's building
last May they have been deprived of this
sport. Our town has kept pretty clear of sa
looms and loafng places of all kinds, and
while we do not hold billiard playing in such
adherence as many people do, we feel COM
PEELED to cay We do not regard this new es.
tablishment as much of blessing to our tow n
In the mere game of billiards there i, no more
arm than there is in a game of pins. 1t Is
the time and none it costs, and the spirit of
loafng wo:thlessness it bsgets that makes it
harmful. We speak Doth from experience and
observation when we say it is the most faei-
mating game in the whole liss of "sport s." 1t
leads its vo.aries 10 the extreme Of being utter
ly regardless Of what 1t costs in money and
time This last assertion is true in eight els
es out cf ten. And what's strange about it,
there is little satisfl ction in the game of
course the player feels little pride in having
b eaten Eomebody--but what is that? And
that is all-absoluteIy all. We never welt
away from a billiard table, after playing one
or more games, without feeling that there was
so much more time misspent, if not so much
more money. We always felt kind 70 cheap
and as though we would never go back again
This was a kind of mental resolution We made
after every game. We don't know as anybod y
will heed our advice, bat we feel like giving
it, nevertheless. We will merely say to those
who are learning billiards and those who con :
template learning. that IL don: pay in any re.
Spect. 1t takes years of tine and hundreds OF
dollars in money to become even q tolerable
billiard player. Not one in ten ever make
creditable players, and we don't remember
of ever seeing q good billiard player that
amounted to anything. If any body thinks
their mission in this world is to learn to play
billiards, and if their idea OF things is tina t
they can get an honorable living by it, and
benei. humanity by it, let them go it. Those
VIII think to the contrary had better let bill
iards alone. They are fOoling away that
which is worth more than money to them
their time. They had better spend their mon
/ ey for books and their time reading them, or
in doing something else useful and beneficial
to themselves and those around them. We
have made these remarks net out of any ILL
will for the proprietor of the new SALON, but
bccauae we :eel that they are true, and because
they may cause some of our young readers to
consider before they throw away too much
time and money in this worse thu n usela IS
sport.

Ocean a9d land the globe divide,
Summer and winter share the year.
Darkness and light walk side by side,
And earth and heaven are always near.
Though each be good and fair alone,
And glorious in its time and place,
in all, when 6tIy Pair'd, is shown
More of thsir Makers power aud grace
Then may the union Of yoang hearts,
So early and so well begun,
Like sea and shore, in all their partss
Appear as twain, hut be as one.
Like earth's horizon, be their scene
OF lie. rich and various GROUND
And, whether lowering or serene,
Heaven above it AID all around.
