COLONIAL.

Mnch news of Importance or general interest
cannot be culled from such Of our Colonial
ovcbanres as have come to hand. The pros
meets of the sugar crop at BARBADOS form one
If the most important items of Colonial news.
THE first shipment of sugar Of the Crop to
be reaped this year. says the West Indian Of
Barbados, "was made on Saturday the 2lst
mItA, bv the Brigantine Flora, consisting Of
DAG hhds, 10 tres, and Sc brls., for London,
NV Nessrs. LOUIS Son & Co., who are also
loading the Barque Sy1pA for same port, and
Brigantine Faan for Bristol. The canes are
Welding about 2 hhds. to the acre, and q strong
ssuoar. Tue weather has been favourable for
reaping-dry with good winds" The last
number of the West Indian at hand dates up
to the 9th February, and continuing its view
of the crop it says: "This week, on Tuesday
and Wednesday, there were showers, which
were wanted to invigorate the young plants,
as we'll as to bring the old canes to maturity
Our agricultural prospects are not bad" This
il certainly a most pleasing feature in the
prospects Of our Barbadian neighbours, which
we wish, with all our hearts, could be resound-
ed here in like strain by our planters.
There was an average crop to reap and a
very promising young crop on the ground.
Labou. abundant and in demand, and wages
light. The market we'll supplied with Ameri-
can breadstuffs, and lumber from the Ptovin-
ces. Sugar 81 dolls for first quality musoo-
vado in mid. and molaSses 20 cents per gallon.
These prices are scarcely considered remune-
rative, but if the canes continue to yield as
we'll as they have begun, which may be ex-
pected from the greater despatch used in reap
ing from improved machinery, the planters
will be able to hold their own.

"THE Bitter BIT"
a sanctImonIOus Poker Player.

A SanetImOniOus Poker Player.
From the St. Louis journal.
About two years ago a Missouri river
steamboat left Fort Benton with party
of tough and well-to-dO miners on
passengers three or four ''brace men, "
and before arriving at Sioux City they
had, generally, cleaned out the pockets
Of the miners. The boat stopped at
Sioux City to wood up, and found,
among others waiting TO get on board,
ministerial looking parsonage, with
the longest and most solemn counte-
nance on him you can well imagine
He was dressed IN a suit of black, wore
white stovepipe hat and choker collar,
ornamented with a black neck-hand-
kerchief
Well, he got on board, and the boat
started down the stream. For two days
he was unnoticed by the other passen-
gers, but one of the sports at last
thought he saw a chance to make some
thing out of the sad and melancholy in
dividual The latter would once or
twice day step up to the bar. and,
with voice that was as mild and gen.
tie as a maiden's, ask for "a glass of
soda, if you please" and then he would
pull a roll of bills from his pocket and
take a quarter from their interior lay
ers. Then he would say to the bar
keeper. as if under a thousand obliga-
| tiOns, thank you, SIR" and walk aft
again as if about to commit suicide.

the gambler have spoken of at last
approached him. Would you like
game of seven-up, sir:" "Seven-up?
What Is seven-up? Please tell me, my
good friend" why, a game of cards,
you know, just to pass away the time.
Let us play a game" MY good friend,
| do not know anything concerning
cards; l cannot play them" "Well,
come along, Wen show you how to do
it." And the mild gentleman in black,
after some further protests, at length
| consented.
They showed him how twas done, and
they played several games. The gentle
man in black was delighted. Gamblers
want to know if he will play poker FIVE
cents ante; Just for the fun of the thing.
Gentleman in black says he can't play
the game, but they explain again, and
the poker commences. The gentleman
in black loses every time. There are
six men In the game. Each one deals
before the gentleman in black, and ante
has been raised to a dollar Gent in
black deals awkwardly and looks at his
hand. Next man to dealer bets five
goes round and bets are raised to one
hundred dollars. Gent in black sees it
and makes it onehundred better. Gam
blers hook surprised, but will not be
bluffed. The bet had reached five hun
bred dollars-a thousand. All draw
out except a Pike Peak miner, who sees
and calls him: what have you -
WAL" answers the gent in black, Il
haye-let me see, let me see-waal, /
have four ones"
The gamblers, who have suspicioned
some time before, now look wild, and
the light begins to dawn IN the miners
mind. He leaned across the table and
said In the most sarcastic tones be
could command.
ooh, you have, have yer? You id
sanctimOniOus shuffier."
The gent got up from the table and
handed one of the gamblers his card

1t would beat no more
With the hope was dear 70 him.
For his words were cold,
And his parting told
Me the warm lOye-throbs TO still;
But my passion wild,
Like a hayward child.
Would not yield TO Reasons will.
/ had loved him long,
Though knew twas wrong,
For he gave me no look or word;
Yet, passing me by
With a careless eve,
The chords of my heart were stirred
I've seen him smile
On the lovely, while
He has sometimes frowned on me;
Yet his name and face
j can meier erase
From the books Of my memory.
viii keep them there,
And Oft in prayer
His dear name III watt above;
And the angels alone,
When the night-winds moan,
VIII hear of my hopeless love.
