"DRAw POKER" ON THE OnIo.-On a re-
cent pleasure trip, an old gentleman from
Illinois gave the following description Of a
game OF bluff, or draw poker :-"I'bere were
four we'll dressed young men ut the table,
one of whom had bnnch of small, nice,
pictured pasteboard about the size of an
envelope, though not so large, some had
pictures of men and some pictures of wo-
men, and some had only spots on them,
some of the spots were red and some black
lie mixed them all together and laid them
down and said cut but / did not see any
knife; the one on the right took off about
dozen, the fellow who had mixed them
then pct the dozen at the bottom of the
bunch and commenced throwing them
around, with the picture side down, giving
each including himself, at first two and
THEN three. Each then looked carefully at
his pasteboards, being careful that none of
the Others saw his pictures, and then each
put down g dollar and said he would bet he

The man with the bunch then said, 'How

LARGE HEADs.-A general idea holds
ground that large heads mean large in
tellects, that weight of brain indicates
mental strength. But this notion is a
false one; one fact will disprove it.
Man. is inferior to some apes in the pro-
portion which his brain bears to his
body. When we come to animals the
differences are very striking. A CONT
mental psychologist has been gauging
the skulls of different quadrupeds, and
weighing their contents. There are
beasts whose instinct approaches to
reason, and we style such intelligent
their high instinct is not however com
measurable with their cerebral devel-
opment. To range few of the com
monest animals in the order of brain
weights, we have the following declin-
ing scales: Cat, dog, rabbit, sheep, ass,
pig, horse and OK. The last two have
the same weight of nerve centre in pro-
portion to the capacity of their bodies,
but they have only sixth part of that
of the first on the list; that is to say,
the cat has six times as much brain in
proportion to her size as the horse has
in proportion to his size. The pig has
more than the horse and the sheep more
than the pig. Who would have thought
it :? The facts almost set us wonder.
ing whether the brain has anything te
do with the intellect at all.

Classification of Flowers.

The flowers usually grown from seeds
are Herbaceous, Perennials, Biennials
and ANIMALS.
Hardy bulbs, like tulips, erocuses
and hyacinths, should be planted in
the autumn Tender or summer bulbs
like the gladiolus, tuberose, and tigei
flower, must be set out in the spring,
HerbaceOus Perennials are plants
which die down to the ground every
autumn, but the roots continue to live,
and new branches and fiower-stems are
thrown up for many years. Sorne con-
tinue indefinitely, but others die after
three or four years, like the Sweet
William; but if the roots are divided
every year, they will continue to live
and increase. These are called imper-
feet perennials.
Biennials flower the second and of.
ten the third year, and then die, like
the hollyhock; but these may be pre-
served by dividing the roots.
ANIMALS flower the first season, per-
lect their seed, and then die. Some
varieties that are grown as annuals in
northern climate, are either peren-
malls or biennials in their southern
home, where there are no severe
winter frosts. This is true of the YER
bena. marvel of Peru, etc. As ANIMALS
flower in few weeks or months at
most, after being planted, and can
always be depended upon for a brilliant
show, they have always been deserv-
edly popular. With a proper arranpe-
ment, continuous bloom may be
kept up from early in July until frost.
Annals are classcd as hardy, half
hardy, and tender. Hardy ANIMALS are
those that. like the larkspur, candy
tuft, etc; may be sown in the autumn
or very carly i'll the spring, in open
ground. The half-hardy varieties will
not endure frost, and should not he
sown in the open ground until danger
from frost is over. The tender an
nuals generally require starting in a
hot-bed to bring them to perfection,
and should not be set in the open
ground until the weather is quite warm.
Tho cypress vine and the sensitive
plant belong to this class; but fortu-
nately, very few of our fine ANNALS.
Some of them do tolerably well if sown
in the open ground the latter part of
May, but very great success is not to
DC expected in this way.-tVick's

To put ourselves beyond the pale OF
humanity while trying to learn what
the human really is, is certainly unfair
and wrong. And we-are virtually do
ing this when we exclude ourselves
from the critical scrutiny which we be-
stow upon others.
1t is pretty safe to presume that
about all the glazing defects or petty
weaknesses which we are looking for
in Others may be fund in ourselves,
with a little careful investigation
Though the presumption is scarcely
complimentary to our pride and vain
giorylng, we should not scorn it.
Though for the moment it somewhat
belittles ourselves in our own opinion,
we shold not thrust it from us. Each
man or woman of us is so very human
that we attend an excellent school for
learning human nature when we stay
quietly at home and study our own
hearts. This is humiliating fact,
perhaps, but little humiliation work
eth very good work sometimes.
AS all the motives and inner prompt.
ings OF other people are necessarily
hidden from us, our mental measure
ments OF character and heart must be
very imperfect, at best. We can meas-
ure ourselves with loss of blindness.
If we will but be honest with our
hearts, we can estimate clearly all the
good or evil of personal doing, and can
define, without going far, the reason of
very many crooked ways. Why not
be honest then7 Why attempt to
cheat ourselves by pretending an hon
est purpose in the study OF Others, and
passing by self utterly7 Self-study
will teach charity, and of all the beau
tiful truths which humanity needs to

Hoe Your Own Row.-There is no bet

him to understand in early life that his flu

individual efforts. There are cases ii
which young men, who have had suct
teachings, have overcome their prenic'ous
effects, but as compared with the whole
these are exceptions and not the rule
The parent, who thoroughly impresses
upon the mind of his boy tue idea that he
will be dependent upon his own exertions
that the responsibility of his success OF
failure rests with himself-will find that q
good work has been wrought, the effects Of
which will be seen only when the boy en-.
tiers upon the grand struggle which is to
result in triumphant victory or lahentable
defeat. A boy thus taught feels that he
has duty to perform-that while he may
have the support and influence of a parent
to assist, still, upon his own energies and
efforts will depend his success. He rec
ognizes. therefore, that he is power with
in himself, and this knowledge puts res
traint upon immoral tendencies, and
prompts to habits of active industry and
prudent economy. Who that has been the

boys to rely upon themselves. Teach
them to stand alone in early life. lmplant
in them feeling of confidence in their

with feeling of personal responsibility,
