Four knaves around the table sat,
As proud as any kings,
And every time their hands were out,
Bright flashed the brilliant rings

And as the plug had thus been drawn,
They all commenced to chew.

Desmonde, who played bold, bluff game,
Next raised it to G.
Dupont, the dealer, soon remarked
He had no hand to bet on,
But, just to keep the interest up,
He'd stay and that regret on.
He then planked down two hundred COOL
The Age had long since "squealed"-
And then, Of course. the other three

Till each one bet his all.
Expectant, and with bated breath.
They waited on the call.

About it was no wax
Montrey with tight closed lips threw down
Only two palrs-of jacks.
Across Dssmopde's exultant face
There passed beaming grin,
As he showed his hand-the aces four
And raked that good pot in.
How soon he drops the lucre vile!
How brightly burns his blush!
When the sallow glim of the tallow dim
Throws light on royal Aush.
The royal flush was the dealers hand
He hadn't dealt in vain
And the four one spots were beaten then,
If they never will be again.

Rudely, wildly, joyously.

And from hsping infancy.

And By lips Of maiden fair.

From all dangers on the way,
While tread the pathway rugged,
Climb the hills of lasting day
keep me, Father, safely keep me,
Never let my footsteps stray;
Lead me to the fount eternal,
There my doubts and fears allay.
Keep me, Father, safely keep me,
In the hollow of thy hand;
In the green fields, near running waters,
Lead me to the promised land.
"Keep me, Father, safely keep me,
Till in Heaven I wake above;
Make me pure, and good. and holy,
Spotless make me as the dove;
Keep me, Father, safely keep me
Till the toll of life is Ger,
Till the angels home shall bear me
Safely upon Jordan shore"
