CRoQUET.
BY HOPE ARDOR.


Is there Il prctticr sight in the world
than a smoothly-rollei lawn, Ike groom
velvet, and scattered here and there meath
the shade of the alan tra"1 l.~ .,~~---.--
eagerly the probability Of this or that side
coming out victorious? The ladies are
fully conscious how graceful are the atti-
tudcs they take during the game, how be-
coming are the .iaunty high hats, how bright
and rery speaking the eyes beneath. They
are we'll aware that their little No. . 5 are
very trim and a "spleHdid Jtt!" therefore
the young bellies hold up their heads and
challenge the bcholdcr to find prctticr
sight than is presented on that very ground.
The wiclcts are in place, and the game
begins. Up in the trees the birds sing
mcrrilv, wondering it may be, at the peals
Of laughter from below, and watching with
timid vet curious eyes, the balls which are
sent by skillful players rapidly over the
velyctry lawn, but the songstcrs finding
presently that laughter and balls cannot
harm them or their young, fall to singing
Ijoyously and, seeking, if possible, to outdo
the merriment of those below And to
and fro the balls are tossed, while Miss
Blue in little spite against an opponent,
sends her ball far away and places her own
III u " splendid position! T" .a-
Now all goes on rapidly, then q little
scream is heard, pair of soft eyes art
turned imploringly toward a young gcntlc
man who is about to serve Aei' bah as Sh.
served one Of "his side previously; th'
/ bail is beneath the relentless foot-thc NAL
let upraised-and then his heart rclcnt:
and he decides to be mcrciful, but the cry
Serve her as she served as, reaches hi
ears, and, remembering that after all
charity begins at home" he favors hi
own side, and away across the lawn fiie'
the blue ball, while little blue sash walk
disconsolatcly after it.
Merry voices, bright eyes, pretty cage
faces, all scattered here and there, ne,
merry, now painting, now exultant an
the musical click of the mallet and ba
midst it all ! How exciting the game be
comes as the last "stake' is nearcd, TIL
other wickcts are deserted, except, pcrhap.
by one unfortunate who really can necc
get through that horrid ''bird cage''-an
she may as we'll give it up now. The gam
is nearly ended, and even if one Of her sid
= 'rocor, can help little, yet che
Side" will surely lose the game.
Croquet is fascinating, there is no mi
take about that, and though some have d
cIarod it going out of fashion, we must ho
fast to it and choose TO ne,c friend in i
place. 1t is hcalthful game, becau:
only in the pure, fresh air can it be playe
and though sunbcams kissing fair cheel
-, may leave their impress with the shade {
the nut, vet the clear brown tint Is f
prctticr than the waxen hue which is fouI
too often upon the cheek Of our city belle
The breeze of summer lifting soft trcsse
tanning flushed checks, Is giving heal
and strength to those who are intent on
upon their game, and all unconsciously l
i ccive It's benefits.

But Liyermorc, without waiting for fur
ther instructions, began rapidly writing
on one Of the cards which he had selected
from his case. When he had finished, he
turned toward Miss TownIcy, with these
words:
"The following is my message to your
father:
SIR: ! desire to have the agreement
broken concerning my future marriage with
your daughter. ! have held an interview
with her, and confess being wholly un-
willing that such lady shall become my
wife RICHARD LIyERNoRE.'
That's precisely - boistcrously cx-
claimed Miss Townlejy, when her compan-
ion had handed her the card "Oll follow, 3"
suddenly slappins Liyeraore familiarly ON
the baek-.'old fellow, you've got hands
some streak in you, for all we don t like
each other. Better try cigar before YOU
CO."
But Liycrmore rushed from the apart-
mcnt as though willing to remain not an
instant longer in the society of so oalt-and-
out a monstrosity Of womanhood. And
shortly aftcrwara the hall-door closed upon
his retrcating figure.
Lyman, you have certainly been max
Ing the most utterly revolving creature of
yourself that it is possible to conceive Of.
| have been listening in the dinng-room,
yonder to every word yol said" And the
reW Clara Townlcy, having Just entered
the room by a different door from that
by which poor Liyermorc had made his
exit, surveyed her disguised lover with
laughing eyes
There is my chief trophy" exclaimed
Lyman, waving above his head the card
which contained Liycrmorc's message to
iara father. IN roc Stg20 riuccS.
Your father viii, Of course, consent to our
marriage, now, Clara; for he Will become
alarmed lest You lack the power to attract

stinging criticism from Liycrmorc, and |
gratefully accept the next chance that Of

ndulged in any such train of reasoning a.

But two facts arc certain, viz: his deep in

A Contract

IRON the Detroit Free Prtss-1 ~
Some three months sinde,a well-known
undertaken was sitting in front of his shop,
waiting for a dead" order, an acquain-
tance came along, and for a joke, asked
the undertaken what he would charge to
bury him. The man Of cJffins replied
That lie would do it very reasonably, and
considering that it was a very dull day.
raid that be would put his friend under
the sod in a fine style for thirty dollars,
providing that he died within twelve
weeks. The bargain was concluded on
the spot, a third party being called to
witness. and Monday the undertaken kept
his share of tue contract, the man having
died after an illness of two weeks, which
were bis only sick DAYS for twelve years.

Early Rising.

A young farmer found lie was getting
reduced in circumstances. He went to a
friend to ask his advice. This friend,
with a grave face, said Il know of a
charm that will cure that take this little
cup, and drink from it, every morning, OF
the water you must get at such a spring.
But, remember, you must draw it your
self at FIVE o'clock, or the charm will be
broken" The next morning, he walked
across his fields, (for the spring was at
the farther end of his estate.) ard,
Il ~neighbors's cows, which had broken
through the fence, and we're feeding on
his pasture, he turned them cut and men
ded the fence. The labcrers were not
yet at work; when they came lettering
along after their proper time, they were
startled at seeing their master so early
"Oh"" said he, Il see how it is; it comes
of my not getting up in time" This
carly rising soon became a pleasant habit
his walk and cup of water gave him an
appetite for breakfast; and the people
were, like him, early at work. He soon
acknowledged that the advice his friends
had given him as good as it was simple.

MISCELLANEOUS.
A Rat whips Two snakes.

A fight between a rat and a couple of
snakes "a copperhead and a rattlesnakc
four and a half feet in length occurred at
MoKeespert,y Ohio, last week. The
snakes, not having been fed for several
days, were first presented with a mouse.
which both reptiles attacked, killing it in
thirteen minutes. a large rat was then
Iut in the cage, when a terrible battle en-
sued, both snakes striking as rapidly as
they could the rat also displayed consid-
erablc pluck, keeping up his end of the
fight bravely. The fight continued from
2 o'clock in the afternoon until 8 at night,
when the coppeahead threw upthe sponge.
and was taken put dead. To prevent the
rattlesnake from sharing the same fate,
the rat was then removed from the cage.
The rat showed considerable generalship
in the encounter, and every time it was
bitten it would retire to the corner of the
cage and bite out the piece from its body.
