story OF John W. Young's proposed
marriage to the Cobb girl at least, they
say that his wife Libby is at her

GAME OF LIFE.-Man's life is game

hand in" and. contrary to Hoyle,

ing alone hand."' he expresses desire
to ''assist" his fair partner" "throws
out his cards." and the clergyman takes
ten dollar bill out of him on "pair."
She "orders him up' to build the fires:
Like "knave" he joins the "clubs"
where he often gets "high" which is
"low" too. If he keeps straight" he
is often "fush." He grows old and
"bluff," sees 'dealn of trouble, when
at last he "shuffles" off his mortal coil,
and passes in his checks" AS he is
'raked in" by a spade" life's fitful
"game" is ended. and he waits the sum-
mons of Gabriel's trump" which shall

REST. e 4a
My feet are wearied and my hands are tired
My soul oppressed
And with desire have long desired
Rest-only rest
, lis hard to toil-when toll is almost vain-
In barren ways;
'Tis hard to SOW and never garner grain
In harvest days.
The burden of my days is hard to bear "a, 1
But God knows best;
And have prayed, but vain has been my pray el
For rest-sweet rest.
IT'S hard to plant In Spring and never reap
The Autumn yield;
'Tis hard to till-and when tits titled to weep
Ger fruitless field.
And SO cry weak and human cry,
Sonear oppressed;
Andso / sigh a weak and human Sigh -s- .
For rest-for rest.
Ny path has wound across the desert years,
And cares infest
My path; and through the flowing of hot tears
Ipined for rest.
Twas always so; when still q child, I laid
On mothers breast
My wearied little head; e'en then prayed,
As now, for rest. a
And am restless still. Twill soon be DER;
For, down the West
Life's sun is setting. and see the shore.

GRANDMA'S GARDEN.
You're peeping through the garden gate,
o! precious little curly pate;
And shall see you by-and-by
With cunning air and fingers sly
Undo the latch and slip inside;
Then toward the sweetest blossoms glide,
''To smell the posies." so you'll say
Ah rogue you'll take rose away.
Full five-and-twenty years gone by,
Another urchin just as sly
And just as sweet and brown and bold.
With just such locks of curling gold,
Wouldiwatch to find my curtain down,
AS if he feared my slightest frown.
Then pluck the prettiest flower and run
That was your father, naughty one.
AS time passed on the lad grew meek
And then my full consent would seek,
Thus by his manliness and truth.
He gained my trust the cunning youth,
He had q queenly rose in view
That in my garden houshold grew
And soon the blooming flower he won
That was your mother, little son.
