THE GAME OF LIFE.
This life is but d game of cards,

This life is but game OF cards,
Which mortals have to learn
Each shuflles cnts and deals the pack,
And each trump doth turn;
Some bring high card to the top,
And others bring low;
Some hold hand quite flush of trumps,
While others none can show.
Some shuttle with apracticed hand,
And pack their cards with care,
So they may know, when they are dealt
Where all the leaders are;
Thus tools are made the dupes ofrogues,
While rogues each other cheat
And he is very wise, indeed,
Who never meets defeat.
When playing, some throw out the ace,
The counting cards to save;
Some play the deuce, and some the ten,
But many play the knave:
Some play formoney, 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 eplay for love,
And pleasure rules the hour
No thoughts ofsorrow check joy,
Il, hoo,ty'l rDav hoynr.
We sing, we dance, swectverscs make,
Our cards at random play,
And while our trumps remain on top,
Our games holiday.
When diamonds chance to crown the
pack,
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 cSc,
How he may see his neighbor's cards,
And beat him on the sly.
When clubs are trumps look out for war;
On ocean and on land
For bloody horrors always come
When clubs are held in hand;
Then lives are stalicd instead Of gold,
The dogs of war are freed
Across the broad Atlantic now,
See clubs have got the lead.
Last game ofall is when the spade
Is turned hy hand of Time;
He always deals the closing game
In every age and cline.
No matter how much each man wins,
Or how much each man saves.
The spade will finish up'thc game,
And dig the players graves

THE PRESIDNNT'S VETO.

To Tie Senate of tie UUtea States;
/ have received and considered a bill
entitled AN Act to regulate the elective
franchise in the District of Columbia
passed by the Senate on the 18th of
December, and by the House OF Repre-
sentatives on the succeeding day. 1t
was presented for my approval on the
2Gth ultlmo-six days after the adjourn-
ment of Congress--and is now returned
with my objections to the Senate, in
which House it originated,
Measures having been introduced, at
the commencement of the first session
of the present Congress, for the exten-
sion OF the elective franchise to persons
of color IN the District of Columbia,
stels were taken by the corporate aus
thorities of Washington and Georgetown
to ascertain and make known the opin-
ion of the people of the two cities upon
subject so Immediately affecting their
welfare as community. The question
was submitted to the people at special
elections, held in the month of Deem
Der, 1865, when the qualified voters of
Washington and Georgetown, with
great unanimity Of sentiment, expressed
themselves opposed to the contemplated
legislation. In Washington, in vote
OF G,55G-the largest with but two ex-
ccptions, ever polled in that clty-only
thirly,five ballots were cast for negro
suffrage; while In Georgetown, in an
aggregate OF Sl3 votes-a number con-
siderably in excess of the average vote
at the four preceding annual elections
but one was given in favor of the pro
posed extension of the elective franchise.
As these elections seem to have been
conducted with entire fairness, the re-
suit must be accepted az truthful ex.
preston OF the opinion Of the people Of
the District upon the question which
evoked it, Possessing as, un organized
community, the same popular right al
the inhabitants of State of Territory
to make known their will upon matter.
which affect their social and politica
condition, they could have selected nc
more appropriate mode of memorlallzinl
Congress upon the subject Of this bill
than through the suffrages of their quail
iGed voters.
Entirely disregarding the wishes G
the people Of the District Of Columbia
Congress has deemed 1t right and ex
pedicnt to pass the measure now submit

THE DISTRICT SUFFRAGE VETO.

The Veto Message published in to days pa
per compares favorably with Mr.. Johnson's
former illusions. The arguments have been
met and repellcd so often that we should
think he would tire rcitcratng
"TaXation without representation" IL the
cry of pseudo chivalry and anti-radicalisr.
The theory is good but the application wrong.
The entranchiSed masses are those for whom
they so readily raise the gauntlet-a monopo-
ly Of the people not tie people, Let them un-
derstand the difference between general
representation and a monopolized representa-
ton and their slogan becomes the cdict of sub
tie dcspotism. ,..
The President cites the expression of the
people of the District against such legislation,
stating that the number adverse was almost an
entirety Simply because the 30, 600 dsjrm,-
chised citizens had no voice In the matter. If
as he states, there are one third colored popu-
laion in the District, certainly their claims are
not to be .disregardcd if they arc unable to
protest by the ballot.
We can see nothing in the shilly-shally
reasons he submits why the bill should not be-
come u law. 1t is merely a summary Of the
hackneyed antipathy that exists between So
called Democracy and the colored race. In
fact the message is remarkable for but one
characterislic-tfe courtesy rendered Con-
grcss. This ameoralion Of temper may fore
go return to his normal scnsibility. Had he
indulged in less INSCRIPTIONS aspcrsions con-
cerning this body and their constituency dur
ing the recent campaign we might almost con-
fcss spirit Of compassion. g HID VT
