POOR GIRLS.

The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never been taughts to.
work. There are thousands of them.
Rich parents have petted them; they
have been taught to despise labor
and depend upon OJners rur ii'i.s,
and are perfectly helpless. If mis-
| fortune comes upon their friends, as
it often does, their case is helpless.
The most forlorn and miserable wO-
men upon earth belong to this class.
1t belongs to parents to protect their
daughters from this deplorable condi-
ton. They do them great wrong if
they neglect it. Every daughter
should be taught TO earn her own liv-
ing. The rich as well as the poor re-
quire this training. The wheel of
fortune rolls swiftly round; the rich
are very likely to become poor and
the poo rich. Skilled labor is no
disadvantage to the rich and indis-
pensable to the poor. Well to-do
parents must educate their children
to work. No reform is more impera-
tive than this.

THIS LIFE.

This life is like game of cfrds,
Which, each man has to learn;
Each shuffies, cuts. and deals the pa elk,
And ach his trump doth turn.
Some turn ahigh caristo the top, q a

Some hold hand quite filed with trunips
while others none can show
When hearts are trump. we play for love,
Andspleasure fills the heur; al !
No thought Of sorrow checks our joy,
In pleasures bower.
But when the .'heart" is on the top,
Oureards at random play;i G -
And often when the Theart's" turned up,
Our game is but holidsy.
When diamonds" chance to crown the
pack,
| Z lis then men stake their gold;
Lsrgesuns are nftef lost and won,
By gamblers young and old.
Intent on winning, each doth watch
His Heighber with an eagle eye,
In hope, perhaps, to get a,ehance
To cheat him ION the sly" FIT
Thus It's that man .dupe of rosues.
And rogues each other cheat:
And be indeed, is q wise man.
That never meets defeat.
When "clubs" a:e trumps, look out for

When "cluSs" are III the hand .,t ..-,-
Last game of all is where the "spade"
Is turned by the .;hand of time

In every land and every cline.

Or how much each mau saves:

A decision Of much interest to the
gambling fraternity has just been
made in New York. A stra lrer was
recently enticed into gambling den
in that city and flecced, and the Dis
trict Attorney, having found by ex-
perience that conviction on the charge
of swindling was almost impossible,
indicted the men for larceny. 1t was
.contended that there could be no lar
ceny in the case, as the victim gave
up his money voluntarily; but the
Judge charged for conviction, and
the Jury brought in verdict of gull
ty. The case was promptly taken to
the Court of Appeals which has now
confirmed the decision of the lower
court.
!, The San Francisco police have iust
, broken up gang OF boy burglars who
J {were led by girl of only IL years
j Their burglaries were committed a
> night, and most OF their plunder con
] sisted of toys and pistols.
