Dear Nellie Sunday night, you know,
hadnt much 10 say,
And yet twas twelve O'Clock or SO,
Before ] went away;
You saw that half The time | watched
The clock upon the shelf
Obi Nellie, how wished you might
Sec how i was YOURSELF
wanted SO trtell you
What I've waited long to say,
But heart and spirit failed me,
Ny courage died away.
Nov, Nellie, only listen
You roguish little elf;
I'm sure you'd pity me, at least
If you knew how it was yourself.
Excuse me, Nellie, darling,
I've loved you long and well,
Then let me keep this little hand,
Nor all my hopes dispel;
love you more than all the world
Can give of power or pclf-
But v lds are weak when hearts would speak ;
Yol know how it is yourself.
Her lips butfaintly quivering,
Her shy glance upward thrown
gently drew her to my side,
My beautiful my owni
We sal there all the eveE.ag
"Twelve" came from Che mantel shelf
The rest you must imagine-for
You know Low tits yourselfl

Rumor said Darwin's new work, "The De-
scent of Man" was going to air some startling
theories, and Rumor certainly has told the truth
for once. There is something amusing in the
learned authors confident ulterance of his theo-
ries. There is no doubt, he tells us, that our
early progenitors were creatures whose bodies
were entirely covered with hair. Both sexes
had boards and pointed ears, capable of move
ment, and were furnished with tails. Their
feet were prehensie their habits 40 doubt
arboreal, and they lived in sarm forest-land.
If all this is true, as Darwin firmly believes, how
grateful we ought all to be to the great principle
of natural selection, which has eliminated our
tails and brought us down from our trees
AS might have been expected, the smart little
brochure "Dame Europa, which have mention
ed to you before as blaming John Bull for his neu-
trality In the late war, has provoked host of
replies. "Why John didn't interfere" (Which
should John have helped 2" "John justified"
and so on, are prominent in every booksellers
window, and of several of the pamphlets there
are French and German translations for the
benefit, presumably, of the contending parties.
1t is so seldom nowadays that q really witty
play is written that Uncle's VIII deserves
word or two. The plot is simplicity itself. Two
cousins, decidedly fond of one another, are left
a humping legacy on condition of marrying
within year. OF course the moment they feel
tied to one another all the charm of courtship
is gone, and they spend half an hour bandying
delciously sarcastic repartees, till both renounce
the legacy in disgust, and-fnd love comes back
in no time. Nothing short of hearing it can
convey the fire and sparkle of the dialogue

WONDERFUL CARD-PLAYING.
Blind Man and Deaf Mute Iudulsiug In
Little Games.

n bIIu0 Huu ana n DeuI Ntuto lnOub9tuR IN
Little Games.
We were witness O night or two since to a
singular trar saction-a game of crib between a
man totally blind and a man wholly deaf and
dumb. At this fascinating game both are un-
usually expert, and the strange contest was
watched with interest by numerous spectators.
The blind man proved victorious, as he almost
invariably does at this game, although his oppo-
nent in this instance is so proficient therein that
professional sports, knowing his prowess, refuse
to play with him for consideration.
For the information of the curious, we will
state that the blind man shows his cards conf
dentially to bystander, who tells him in a
whisper their denomination. He needs never to
be told more than once, he never failing TO re-
member the number OF each card and its posi-
ton in relation to each of the rest in his hand.
But that which afforded US most thought for re-
Election was that, although the parties had never
met before, they at once appeared to have a
mutual understanding, and conyersed with each
other almost as readily and rapidly as if neither
had been deprived of any natural gift.
The mute wrote with extraordinary rapidity,
using his left hand, while the blind man made
himself perfectly understood to his fellow suf-
ferer by simply indicating with his dexter finger
along the table the letters necessary to the for
nation of the words which he desired to use.
The scene was truly a subject for thought and
one calculated to confirm the belief in that
great heavenly law of compensation whereby a
person deprived of one natural sense or gift is
given some other faculty in greater degree than
is vouchsafed to others unaffected.
The parties of whom we speak are both men
gilmore than ordinary ability and requirements.
One is a prominent member of our local bar,
with State reputation, and the other is land
scape and animal painter of no small merit. One
suddenly lost his sight few years since; the
other became deaf and dumb when only seven
years of age from an attack of scarlet fever
And yet we doubt If two more genial, happy
men exist in the community. They seem, by
some godlike dispepsation, to forget or to be
satisfied with their great loss, because of other
powers and gifts given in compensation.-ISdc.
