THE EIEATHEN CFEENEE.

Which wish to remark
And my language is plain
That for ways that are dark
Aud for tricks that are vain,
The heather Chinec is peculiar;
Which the same I would rise to explain.
ALI Sin was his name,
And l shal. not deny
In regard to the same,
What the name might imply;
But nis smile it was pensive and child-hke,
As frequent re marked to Bill Nye.
It was August the third.
And quite soft was the skies;
Which it might be inferred
That All Sin was likewise;
Tc; he played it that day upon William
Ana me in way despise.
Which we had small game,
And All Sin took q hand;
It was Euchre. The same
He did not understand;
Bat he smiled as he sat by the table,
With the smile that was child-like and
bland.
Yet the cards that were stocked
n c way that grieYe,
AID my feelings were shocked
At the state Of Nye's sleeve,
Which was stuff full of aces and bowers,
And the same with intent to deceive.
But The hands that were played
Ry that heathen Chinee,
Al the points that he made
Were quite frightful to see
Til as last he put down right bower,
Which the same Nye had dealt unto me.
Then looked up at Nye,
Ard he gazed upon me;
And be rose with q sigh,
And said, "Can, this be?
We arc ruined by Chinese cheap labor"
Aud he went for that heathsn Chinee.
In the scene that ensued
did Eot take 2 hand,
Bu. The floor it was strewed
Like the leaves on the strand,
With the cords that All Sin had been hiding,
IN the game she did not understand"
In his sleeves, which were long,
lie had twenty-four jacks
Which was coming it strong,
Yet state but the facts;
Aud we found on his nails, which were taper,
What is frequent iu tapers-that's wax.
Which is why remark,
And my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark
and For tricks that are vain,
The heather Chinee is peculiar
Which the same am free to maintain.

say that he has never slandered Henry Ward
Beecher, but on the contrary has sacrllced
his own reputation to suppress the truth
about him, and that he never has refused TO
appear before the church and answer all
questions regarding the scandal that might
be put to him. TiltOn gives his reason for
.evcring his connection with the church as
follows: after had been for fifteen years a
member Of Plymouth Church, and had become
meanwhile an intimate friend Of the pastor,
the knowledge came to me in 1870 that he
bad committed against me an otiense which
forbear to name or characterize. Prompted
by my sclfrespect, Immediately and forever
ceased my attendance on his ministry"
