The Maiden's Prayer.

She rose from her delicious sleep,
And put away her soft brown hair,
And in a tone as low and deep
As loves first whisper. breathed a prayer
Her snow-white hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast
just swelling with the charms it hiG.
And from her long and flowing dress,
Escaped bare and snowy foot.
Whose steps upon the earth did press.
Like a new snowflake white and mute.
And then from slumbers soft and warm,
Like Il Young spirit fresh from heaven.
She bowed that Slight and matchless form,
And humbly prayed to be forgiven
o, Godl if souls unsoiled as these,
Need daily mercy from thy throne,
If she upon her bended knees,
Our h0liest and our purest one;
She with a face so clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child of Light.
If she with those soft eyes in tears,
Day after day, in her young years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from thee,
What far, far deeper need have we!
How hardly if she win not heaven.
Willour wild errors be forgivenr

The Biggest Game of Poker

The newspapers have story OF
Cemmodops Vanderbilt seeing
blackleg's bluff at poker, and going
a $4,000 steamboat better. but it Is
hardly up to an affair of which we
recollect reading net long since in q
Mississippi paper. In the days
when the Hon. George Poindexter
represented the State in the Federal
Senate, say something over thirty
five years ago, before the time of
railroads, he started from Nachez b.v
an up river steamboat on his way to
Washington. The Agricultural Bank
having q heavy deposit to make IN
one o: the Pittsburg banks, entrusted
the money to his charge.
Before twenty four hours had
elapsed some OF the sporting frater
nifty were making up game, and
asked the Senator to take hand, to
which he consented. The game ran
the usual course, while the profes-
sionals were taking the measure of
their intended victim, and guessing
at the size of his pile. When these
points were settled to their satisiac-
ton the business began in earnest.
An operpowering hand was dealt
to Mr.. Poindexter, upon which he
made small bet; the others passed,
with one exception, who ''saw him"
and went a thousand dollars. To
this he responded with another thou
sand dollars better, to which the
gambler responded, 81 see your thou
sand dollars and go thirty thousand
dollars better"-for seeing that his
customer was pretty flush he did not
dare risk few thousand.
Poindexter replied that that was
more money than he had, but he
would bet his pile, which would en-
title him to sight This the other
denied to be the law. Certainly,
eaia M P. sd-always understood
that gentleman has right to a
show for his money"
mot unless it is stipulated before
hand" and the gambler appealed to
the ''gentlemen" present, who sus-
tanned him.
Come" said the rulIian, throwing
down we'll filled pocket book, and
laying his watch on the table, II go
thirty thousand dollars better, and
give yon five minutes to raise the
money"
Poindexter bid him count his
money; and there it was, sure enough
in good bills.
"Well," said he, rising, 81 will
sec if can find any friends who will
furnish the funds" and he passed in
to the ladies cabin, in which was his
state room. He fingered sometime,
and as the hand was nearing the last
minute, returned quietly, took his
seat, drew bulky pocket book from
his breast, and laying it upon the
table, calmly said:
"Sir, see your thirty thousand
dollars and go hundred and twenty
thousand dollars better, and give
YOU five minutes to raise the money"
1t was the turn OF the astonished
gambler to call for count; but be-
| fore Mr.. Poindexter got through
with the hundred and fifty thousand,
he threw down his hand-there being
too many spectators to make row
and with his companions went ashore
at the next woodward
