Tragic Game OF Poker

1t was at the Hot Springs OF ATksn-
sas, where only gentlemen and ladies
and ordinary men and WOmen-gO.
Ephraim TAgRart, Of Mississippi, and
Col. Charles Gordon, OF Galveston,
Texas, were there, and they were en-
gagged 10 9 pleasant game OF cards.
Mr.. Tsggart lost all his money, and
then, with two aces in his hands, put
up his watch against two hundred
dollars. and called. The Colonel, with
much suavity, and q like amount OF
presence Of mind, showed three aces
oad Ina IEl0sIizt1fy rakeo IN the Watcn.
Then for some remarkable reason
Ephraim Taggart got angry and said
there had been cheating; he never in
his life knew before that . single pack
or deck of cards had i've aces Col.
Gordon had no time TO argue the mat
ter. He merely said that he had been
insulted, and drawing knife, stabbed
Ephraim TaggArt to the heart, quietly
remaFking, as be wiped the blood
from his knife, that be guessed that
would settle Il.
The refined society At the Hot
Springs qnite unreasOnAbly conceived
it q duty, however, 70 call up Col.
Gordon at sort Of court martial.
The Col. stopped n consider the
matter in several Of its bearings, and
mAgnanimously explained. There
were five aces in the pack, that no
body could deny. But had there new
er been similar accidents before ?
How should he know that his OppOn-
ent in the game held the extra ace
He was not 3 elairyOysnt, and he did
not pretend to any extra wisdom as n
cards. He was a gentleman. and be
simply knew that his honor had been
at stake. He had played friendly
game with Ephrsim Taggart, and
that person had charged him Of cheat
ing. What might q gentleman do
His hearers must reflect that murder
was his only refuge from . blasted
character.
The statement had Its appropriate
effect. The eoGrt-mArtiAl gentry CEN
sured Col. Gordon for having beer

and then let him 60 /; and the mex
day the body Of the too thOughtIes'
and unhappy EphrAim Tagsart wa
gently laid In the most convenient

ing on q hageOlett held in his hand.
The saw-mil is fac-simile OF such
an institution. The log is in its place
and slides along to meet the teeth Ol
the saw, which is working up and
down, cutting It in two.
The attendants are all busy in their
several duties. The grist-mill is also
going. One man is tending and feed
Ing the hopper. Every now and then
he goes back and forth with a tray
upon his shoulders, the contents 0l
which he pOurs into the mouth Of the
hopper. Phe great water-wheel is
moving steadily under the pressure of
the water from above, and the elaya-
tor Keeps up its show OF relieving =
canal boat of its load of grain.
The old mill is At work, and the fig
ures are ali busy ab.,ut it perfOr.ning
their several missiOns A carpenter
walks up and down the ladder while

q balcony reading b,IOks and papers,
which an attendant frOui time 20

wood; q girl is watering plants, which
gradually grow, bud anu bloom. 9th

Wet Boots.

The Agricultural gives the follow
ing advice to farmers, who, Dext 10
fishermen, are apt to get their boots
wet through: "When the boots are
taken off, NIL them quite full with
dry oats. This grain has a great
fondness for dampness, and will read
ily absorb the last vestige OF it from
the wet leather. As II takes up the
moisture il sWells and fills the boots
with q tightly-fitting last, keeping its
form good, and drying the leather
without hardening it. In the morn
ing shake out the oats and hang them
in q bag near the fire to dry, ready for
the next wet night, draw on the boots
and go happily about the days
work"

SIT is an exploded theory" says
one who speaks with knowledge,
'that women dress to please the men.
They dress to please or spite each 9TH
er. Any girl Of sense and experience
knows that 1t Is as easy to break 3
mans heart In q g muslin, neatly
made up, as it is in 8 500 silk cos
tune made by q man-dressmaker." d"
1t Is, in fact, a great deal easier. The
natural charm OF q young girl Is often
destroyed by excessive dressing. Men
like tasteful and not expensive toll
lets; and the rivalry and dress among
women is not to catch beau, but to
mortify an enemy. rv M

Dogs.

There are many kin.is of dogs, but
the majority of them are more Orna-
mental thar useful. Theoretically,
dogs are splendid; let US see how they
are practically. The Newfoundland
dog = useful i'm saving children from
drowning. But then you have got to
have u pond, or live by lake, and
have lot of children running about
loose, liable to fall i'm, or else the dog
is Improbable. Then there is the
shepherds dog. He is very useful
for driving sheep, but you have got to
buy a fiJek OF sheep and farm to
keep them on in Or,ier 10 keep a GOg
OF this kind busy. The poodle dog il
not very profitable or useful but To
pacify old maids and keep them busy
to tend something. The rat terrier is
considered very useful for killing rats
but rats are not worth much after
they Rrs killed, and so if you have
that kind of dog, and no rats, you
had better sell him for the most you
can get.

A CORRESPONDENT, of the Bucks
County Mtelligencer makes the fol-
lowing sensible remarks in relation
to the selection of women for schoo!
directors:
1t is we'll known that by the new
constitution a change has been made
in the class of citizens who are eligi,
BILE to the Office of school director.
1t is q change to which both justice
and common sense have long pointed,
but which the law of the State has
not hitherto authorized-it is the Sc
lection of a portion of females for this
Office. Independently of this arrange
ment being @w authorized by the
law Of the State, it is sustained by
another consideration. 1t is well
known that among the teachers OF
our public schools, more especially
in the middle and lower sections OF
Bucks county, there is considerable
majority Of females engaged in teach
ing the schools; and from this fact
alone the propriety of the sex being
represented in school boards must be
obvious. But there is a considera-
ton of inherent qualification and
adaptation in females for visiting
schools and giving their attention to
the various requisites of school-rooms
that has hitherto been much neglected.
The proper accommodation of female
children and especially those of tender
ages is subject that will claim the
care ofsuch visitors, who will find
that the rights Of children in these
partic ulars have been frequently
overlooked.

ONE dark night, the darkness OF

How 20 Keep Beef for Future Use

This is an important question to
those who cannot keep cattle through
the winter, and cannot sell for cost,
or those who want beef but must
purchase it cheap. Perhaps few peo-
pie are in the habit Of canning beet but
it may be done in this way. Cutfrom
the bone wash clean and boil, adding
salt and pepper if relished. When
done, and while::warm, put into glass
cans, or stone jars, with the water in
which it was cooked. Press the
meat down SO the juice will rise to
the top, and the tallow will rise, for
ming a thin coat, which may be re-
moved when the beef is wanted for
use. Set away in good cool, dry
place, where it will not freeze, and
when wanted for use, it may be
warmed and -four gravy made TO it.,
making a healthsul and.paratabled ish.
