An Arkansas Fathers Advice TO His
Son.

Bob, you are about leaving home for
strange parts. You are going to throw me
out of the game, and 90 it alone. The odds
are ag1n you, Bob. Remember that in
dustry and perseverance are the winning
cards, as they are the blowers" Book
farming, and all that sort of thing, do to
ill up with. like small trumps; you must
have the bowers to back them, or they
amt worth shueks. II luck is agin YOU
pretty strong, don't cave and look like a
sick chicken on rainy day, but hold up
your head, and make believe you are flush
IT trumps; then they don't play So hard
again you. I've lived and travelled around
some, and I've found that rs soon asfoIks
thought you held "a weak h and they'd all
buck agln you strong. So, when you're
sorter weak keep on bold front, bnt play
cautl"us-be satisfied with D int Many )
the hand I've seen euch red because they
played for too much. Keep your eyes
we'll skinned, Bob; don't let 'em niu You.
Recoilect, the game lies as much with the
head as with the hands Be temperate;
never get drunk, for then, no matter how
| you play 1T, both bowers and the ace won't
save ynu for there's certain to he a mis-
deal, or something wrong. And another
thing, Bob, (this was spoken III a low tone)
don't 20 too much on women; queens are
kinder poor cards-they more you have of
them the worse tof you. You might have
three, and nary trump. | don't say dis
card EN- all; you get hold Of one that is a
trump; it's all your good, and there's to be
one out of four. Aud, above all, Bob, be
honest; never take trick wot don't belong
to you, nor slip cards, or mig, for then
you can, look your man in the face; and
when that's the case, there's no fun in the
game; it's a regular cut throat" So,
now, Bob, farewell Remember what |
tell you, and you'll be sure to win, and, il
You don t, 1t sarves you right to be

A singular HaIlucinatiOn.

As the facts are reported, a well-dressed
woman spoke to police officer in one OF the
streets of London, and told him that snt
had committed a murder. She was taken
at once to police station, and there she de-
scribed herself as nurse In workhouse,
and declared that she had for long time
been filed with feelings of hatred and re-
venge against one OF the matrons; that she
had watched for and found an opportunity,
knocked the matron down, stunned her, and
then killed her by cutting her throat with a
razor. After this she wrapped the body in
her bedclothes and hid it under her bed.
This done she intended to make her escape,
but she thought there would be no safety,
and she became stricken with remorse, and
determined upon giving herself up. The
police accordingly made inquiries, and they
found one important point to be incorrect.
The woman said to be murdered was alive
and well. In the room of the alleged muir
deress there was found indeed long bundle
of roll under the bed; but the bundle on
being opened was found to contain no hu-
man body, but bolster. The woman who
accused herself was examined by medical
man, but he appears to have been unable to
give any decided opinion at once ss to
whether she was sane or insane.

ALONE WITH CONSEQUENCE.

4 sat alone with my conscience,
In place where time had ceased.
And We talked OF my former living
In the land where the years increased,
And 7 felt sheuld have to answer
The questions IL put 10 me
And to tace the answer and question
Throughout an eternity.
The ghosts of forgotten actions
Came floating before my sight,
And things that thought were dead thingi
Were alive with q terrible night,
And the vision of all my past life
Was an awful sight to face,-
Alone with my conscience sitting
In that solemnly silent place.
Aud thought OF far away warning,
OF a sorrow that was to be mine.
In q land that then WIS the future,
But now is the present time.
And I thought Of my former thinking
of the judgement day to be,
But sitting along with my conscience
Seemed Judgment enough for me.
md I wondered If there was q future
To this land beyond the grave;
but no one gave me an answer,
And no one came to save.
Then telt that the future was present,
And the present would never go by.
For it was but the thought Of my past life
Grown into eternity.
rhen woke from my timely dreaming,
And the vision pa .sed away,
And knew the far away warning
Was warning Of yesterday.
And pl aged that might not forget It,,
In this land beyond the grave,
That may not cry in the future,
And no one to come to save.
And so have learnt Il lesson,
Which ought to have Known before,
And which, though learnt in dreaming
hope to forget no more.
10 sit alone with my conscience
In the place where toe years increase,
And try to RENE m ber the future
In the land where time will cease.
And know of the futnre judgment,
How dreadful soccer 1t be,
That to sit alone with my conscience
viii be judgment enough for me.
