The return match OF the st. Georges Cricket Club,
Married vs.. Single, came or yesterday afternoon at
the grounds Of the club In Cenrevle, Hudson city,
New Jersey outside the members Of the club there
were not half dozen persons present. IL was an.
nounced that the wtckets would be pitched at twelve
O'Clock, but it was past five when the game com.
menced. The grounds are situate In locality not
accessible by any OF the horse car routes, and 70
scorching day Is anything but cheap price to pay
for such sport. Comfort or convenience belongs TO
distant future day. Compared with the last match
played on these grounds the playing yesterday was
Indifferent, and the cricketers seemed to be merely

accident in the breaking of the hook Of the

all hopes OF being able to sail had been given up,
and the contest seemed to be between the yachts In
advance. Towards four O'Clock slight breeze blew
from the south, and accelerated the tardy speed OF
the contestants. The last lagboat at Southwest

Idly disregarding it,
Idly rocking to and fro
AS the shadows come and go,
Asking vainly, asking why,
BY Fate we're parted, you and II
All! why is it? There are few
Half so genial, half so true,
In heart and soul allied as we:
Yet. an unhind Destiny
Bears her cruel barriers high
BY fortune sundered you and I.
We're our paths together laid,
We had treaded, undismayed.
Valley deep and mountain pass,
In light or darkness; but alas.
Down divided hills they lie
We are sundered, you and I.
Is it, darling, is it sin,
Just to think what might have been
To unvel my eyes and see
What can never. never be?
For beneath the closed lids I see
Fate has parted you and me.
Great this sudden sorrow is,
And through III infirmities
We forget that tears of pain
Blossom into smiles again;
That, our souls to purify
We are parted, you and I.
Yet, oh yet, beloved, will time
Teach us golden rules sublime,
And beyond this dark eclipse.
Shall our accomplishing lips
Say submissive, "Thy will be-"
Fate has parted you and me.

Should you e'er go to Francois Of course
yon intend
Though the Great Exposition is now at
an end)
And in Paris should stroll-as I'm certain
you will
In the Gardens adorned with such exquisite
skill,
To call them "Eiysian" is scarcely to reach
What the gramniars entitle a figure of
speech
Don't fail, e'er you go, a moment to steal
a look at the spot called the Jard;n Na5lle.
It's a place of enchantment-a rural re-
treat
Where Nature and Art in such harmony
meet,
To form an Flysium of music and flowers,
OF moss-covered g%rottoes and fairylike
bowersi
Where lamps blaze in tulips and glow
worms Of gas
Hume the roses and CLEAN in the grass
That merely to see it, one cannot but feel
If there's heaven on earth, tits the Jardin

But wait until midnight, OF say one
o'clock,
When hither by hundreds the citizens
flock,
And strangers unnumbered are strolling
around
In the serpentine walks of the beautiful
ground;
Just wait, if you please, till the dance is
begun,
And then, at the height of the frolic and
fun,
Pray, look where the bacchanals caper and
reel,
And say what you think of the Jardin
Mebile.
The music-the maddest that ever you
heard
Strikes up from the strand, and away at
the word
The dancers revolve-'tis the waltz that's
all;
The same you have witnessed at many a
ball;
There's nothing extremely surprising in
this,
The motion is swift, but there's little
amiss;
You merely remark There is plenty of zeal
In the dancers who dance in the Jardin
Mabile.
But see! where the people are closing
about
Two brazen-browed women-and, bark to
the short
la can-can!-they're at itm-no wonder
you stare,
One foot on the pavement-now two in the
air.

Retreats from the shoe that is grazing his

Where all that is charming in nature and
