HIDDEN SORROW,

Ills not alone when eyes are bright,
And lips in gayest smiles are dressed,
That we may say the heart is light,
The passions calm, the mind at rest.
For oft doth sunlight's brightest beams
Shed radiance DER lonely tomb;
And oh | the light that only seems
Is worse than darkness deepest gloom.
Thus, though the smiles Of cheerfulness
May hide from sight an aching heart !,
They cannot make its misery less,
Nor bid the frowns Of Fate depart.
And, though no tears bedim the eye,
Nor outward signs Of grief appear,
The brain may burn without sigh,
The heart may burst without tear.

Conversation.

Among all the accomplishments
which our young ladies are expected to
acquire, it is TO be regretted that the art
OF conversation is not included. No
grace Of person or manners can compen-
safe the lack ofthis. In youth, the con-
versaJion Of our women is too apt to be
trifling and insipid, and 10 middle age is
too often confined to complaints Of health
and the scandal Of the day. Lively con-
versation upon instructing and elevating
topics is but little practiced, but when
ever it is found it gives a charm to the
society of females which nothing else
can. 1t triumphs over deformity and
old age, and makes ugliness itself
agreeable. Curan, speaking of Madame
de Stael, who was by no means hand
some but splendid cenvorsationalist,
said that she had the power Of tdlk-
ing herseVinto beauty. Ladies should
think Of this. Beauty lies in other
things than 6ne features or cosmestics.

The convention was generally har-

the conferees for George Jeffries,

considered a good one, and gives
pretty general satisfaction. M.

A New Ca,techism

Whom did Adam marry and when did
he marry her? One Eve?
What was her bridal dress? Barely
nothing.
Not even a ribbon? No, she had no
need Of one; she was a ribbone herself {?
When Adam and Eve were in tho gar
dening business, what time did they
commence picking apples? In the
Fall.
Why did not Cain make good sugar?
Because lie wasn't Abel.
Spirits as well as sugar comes from
cane; what evil resulted from this Gains
spirit? Abel got slowed.
What reason have we to sup pose that
Cain also got slowed? He went imme-
dlately to the land of Nod.
Who was the wisest man? Knower.
What did he know. He knew enough
to 60 out in the rain.

A DARKENED LIFE.

In Ma hua, N. H., resides q
young girl, whose pitiful lot ex-
cites the deepest sympathy yet for
whom sympathy can do but little
in alienation of the sad misfor-
tune which has darkened her life.
When aclild she was terribly
scalded about the head and face
and although she survived her in
juries, she was thenceforth disfig-
ured for life, and the rosy face OF
childhood was changed to a mask
"a travesty on the human counte-
nance-absolutely frightful in its
hideousneSs. In Lowell, Mass,
where she once lived, so great was
the horror excited by her appear
ance that she was forbidden by
the authorities to show herself on
the streets. AT Nashua she VEN
tured out the other day, and sew
eral ladies tainted at sight of her,
and call is now made upon the
authorities of that place to forbid
her appearance on the streets.
What a mournful fate is hers! To
live through the terrible physical
suffering only to endure hence
forth keener mental anguish in
the knowledge that she is q thing
of horror, to be abhOrred and
Stunned by human kind, with no
hope in the future except the
grave, which shall hide her de-
formities from the gaze of her fel.
low beings!

ever think that this great world, with
allits wealth and woe, with all its mines
and mountains, its ocean, seas, and riv-
ers, with all its shipping, railroads, and
magnetic telegraph, with all its millions
of men, and all the science and progress
of ages, will soon be given over to the
hands of the boys Of the present age ?
1t will be so. Believe it and look
abroad upon your inheritance, and get
ready to enter upon your possessions.

fulness through conversation at proper

st Louis Democrat.
In conversation with an Arkan-
san about men and things, 1 asked
how 1t happened that the presid-
ing Justice of the Supreme Court
(McClure) obtained the sobriquet
of " Poker jack He said the
name was given to the Judge by
the Little Rock Gazette, on account
of an incident which occurred in
that city year or two ago.
"What was the incident ~ |
asked.
| will not vouch for the truth OF
it, but will tell itas i heard 1t. One
day--it was before Clayton and
Baxter fell out-Judge Mcclure,
Crayton, Baxter and Dorsey we're
playing game of draw, ard they
kept il up all night. They had
drank ten bottles of champagne
apiece, and, as daylight appeared,
the betting ran pretty high. Up
to that time the chips were pretty
evenly divided, and nobody was
out more than $50. Mcclure and
Baxter locked horns on q deal
made by Clayton, and it Is said
by some people that the troubles
that have since occurred in the
State originated in the cards they
played that night. Baxter drew to
two pair and filled. The Judge
held two tens and drew fourth.
They bucked each other until they
had planked about$10, 900 between
them, and, Of course, Mcclure got
the money. Baxter accused Clay
ton of exposing card to Mcclure,
and some words posed, and there
has been a GOODNESS between them
ever since.
But there was another incident
that may have been the occasion
of christening Poker Jack. He
fell in among a set professionals
once on a steamboat, and they
tried to swindle him out of sew
eral thousand. The Judge was
drinking pretty freely, and had
lost about $4,000 before he dis
covered that he was the victim of
sharpers. He kept perfectly cool,
however, and waited for his OPP
portunity. When he became sat
isfied that one of his opponents
held an invincible hand he made
large bet, the gambler, Of course,
went a pile better, and the Judge
also advanced the stakes, and
finally called the gambler, when
the pot footed up about So, 1000.
"What have you got?" asked
Mcclure.
"a king full on aces,'' replied
the blackleg, reaching out his
hand to grasp the stamps.
What sort of fellow are you p
said the judge, ito bet on such a
hand? / can beat it to DEATH"
"I'd like to know what you can
beat it with ?"
"A jack full on skies. "respond-
ed Mcclure, drawing brace of
six shooters from his belt, and
planting his elb ows on the stack
Of greenbacks.
The gamblers arose in confusion,
and two Of them attempted to draw
weapons, but the judge split the
ear of one with slug, and knocked
the watch out of the pocket of
another with q second slug, and
remaining two begged for mercy.
The Judge counted out his $4,000
and gave the balance to the gam
blers, and has never played poker
with a professional since.

By ALICE WILLIAMS.

Two souls with but a, single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one.
NELLIE, foqtit,r.
Bless my heartl You're come at last.
Awful glad to see you dear
Thought you died or something, Bello--
Such an age since you've been here
Ny engagem mt? Gracious Yes.
Rumor's hit the mark this time.
And the victim? Charley Gray,
Know him, don't you? Well, hes
prime.
Such mustachiosl Splendid style
Then he's not so horrid fast
Waltzes like seraph, too.
Has some fortune--best and last.
Love him ? Nonsense. Don't be "soft.
Pretty much as love now goes;
He's devoted, and in time
I'll get used to him, s'pose.
First love? Humbug. Don't talk stuff
Bella Brown, don't be fool
Next you'll rave OF flames and darts,
Like chit at boarding-school.
DON'T be- unified" talked just so
Some two years back. Fact, my dearl
But two seasons kill romance,
Leave ones views of life quite clear.
Why, If Will Latrobe had asked
When he left, two years ago,
I'd have thrown up all and gone
Out to Kansas, do you know
Fancy me settlers wife
Best escape, dear, was it not2
Yes it's hardly in my line
To enact Love In Cot"
Well you see, had my swing,
Been engaged to eight or ten
Got to stop some time, of course,
So it don't much matter when.
Auntie hates old maids, and thinks
Every girl should marry young
On that theme my whole life long
have heard the changes rung
So, ma belle, what could do7
Charley wants a stylish wife;
Wen suit well enough, no fear,
When we settle down for life.
But for love--stuffl See my ring
Lovely, isn't t2Solitaire.
Nearly made Maude Hinton turn
Green with envy and despair.
Hers ain't half so nice, you sce---
Did write you, Belle, about
How she tried for Charley, till
! sailed in and cut her out?
Now she's taken Jack Mcbride,
/ believe it's all from piqus--
Threw him over once you know
Hates me SO she'll scarcely speak.
0 yes Grace Church, Brown and that;
Pa won't mind expense at last,
I'll be of his hands for good;
Cost a fortune two years past
My trousseau shall out-do Maude's
I've carte blanche from Pa,you know,
Mean to have my dress from Worth !
Won't she just be raviag though
