 Then cashing in his checks, he walks
 over to the lair of the tiger, and after
 hot fight of an hour leaves the $2, 900 in the tigers rapaoious maw, the judicial dealer taking it as coolly as though it were legal fee.
 The horseman's seat at the rouletto table was taken by quiet, keen, black whiskered man, who resembled Jay Gould. He rapidly piled up large quantity of chips, but his luck soon turned. The olive-complexioned young man swept his stakes from the board. and Jay Gould's counterpart left the ta. ble looking as though he were Erietriev- ably ruined.
 The next victim to take the seat was & heavily built man from Canada. He took $1O note from among 8 few in his pocketbook, and pushed the book back in his pocket with vigor, as if he in- tended it to remain there. The S1Onote melted away in few minutes, another and another followed it, until, finally. all that remained to him was a dollar bill. This he crumpled up and placed on the double O; the ball whir1ed soon stopped with click, and the game keeper called "Thirty -one, black.' The Canadian turned on his heel, and if the velvet carpet had been old and rotten he would have ground hole in it.
 And so the games went on, nine out of ten losing. There was one case of as- 'onishing luck. A young fellow, said to De a bookkeeper from New York, bought s5 worth of chips at the dice table.

A PICTURE.

Two little souls, boy and girl,
Wandering on 20 the foot Of the hills
Bushes OF green and blossoms Of pearl
Laughed at themselves in the roadside rill.
Crossing the lane, gorgeous jay,
Bathed in the light Of a hattedug ray,
Jauntily chatters, "souie day, some day"
Two sweet souls, man and maid,
tBeechen branches twisted aboyel
Picking the daisies which sprinkle glade,
And irving their luck At game OF love;
sThis year!" "Next year :" What do they say
And out OF the beeches the curious jay
Peeps and chuCkes, "Some day, some day!'
Two old souls and the end of the day
Follows them home TO the foot OF the hill;
oBe late CLEAN which has wandered astray
Breaks from a copse and dimples the nll.
Autumn leaves are strewing The way,
Aud hoarse from the larch the hungry jay
Shouts out to the night, ''Some day, some day y
Two poor souls at the dead Of the night
Side by side, he stiGened and siill
And the winters moon Just softcns hor light,
As it soicmnly rests At the foot Of the hill,
Remembering the bees and the buds and the May,
The summer gold and the autumn gray,
And the warm green lane whore tine beetles play.
Il, the crisp, cold night the shivering jay
Croaks out OF his dream, "Some day, some day y

He left in his will to Helen Rem
shaw, her heirs and assigns forever
the sum of twenty thousand dollars.
Mrs. Renshaw found some little
difficulty in proving her identity,
but was soon enabled to take pos
session of her lamented husbands
property.
If You ever chance TO visit Au-
burn, you will notice on one of the
main streets in the city, two man
sions built nearly alike. Lovely
walks lead to them, they are sur
rounded and furnished with every
thing heart could wish, or money
buy.
Ned and Orrie with their respec-
tive families occupy them, and the
children contend with each other,
as to which grandma shall reside
with.
Orrie is a celebrated medical
practitioner, and Ned is a Judge,
honored and respected by all who
know him.
Mrs. Renshaw often speaks Of
the sorrow and trouble she expert
enced, but says, with tears in her
eyes: "Now l have a happy moth

Almost all the distinguishing
features Of Franklin's character in
life may be traced to his childhood.
He was in his earliest days shrewd
and artful, industrious and perserv-
ing, and of habits most economi-
cal. The stories of his recon-
mending his father to say grace over
a whole barrel of beef at once, and
of his disgust at favorite whistle
the amount he found he had paid
too dear for it, are well known.
When at school (which was only
between the ages of eight and ten
years., Franklin soon distinguished
himself among his playfellows by
bis strength and address, and he
was generally the leader 10 all
their schemes. Their great delight
was fishing for minnows; and as
their constant trampling had made
the edge of the pond qnagmire,
Franklin's active mind suggested
the idea of building a little wharf
for them to stand upon. Unluckily
a heap Of stones was collected, at
no great distance, for building a
new house; and one evening
Franklin proposed to his compan-
ions to make free with them after
the workmen were gone home.
The project was approved, and ex-
ecuted with great industry; but the
next morning the stones were missed,
an inquiry was made, and the con-
sequence was--a complaint against
the boys. Franklin pleaded, in
excuse, the utility Of the work ;
but his father wisely took the
opportunity of intoxicating the ex-
cellent maxim, that what Is not
honest cannot be useful.

Curious Tropical Tree Forms.

Some are almost cylindrical, ris-
ing up out of the ground as If their
basis were concealed by accumula-
tons OF the soil /; others get much
thicker near the ground, like orr
spreading oaks; others again, and
these are very characteristic, send
out, toward the base, fat and wing
like projections. These projections
are thin slabs radiating from the
main trunk, from which they stand
out like buttresses of Gothic ca
thedral. They rise to various
heights on the tree, from five or six
to twenty or thirty feet; they of
ten divide as they approach the
ground, and sometimes twist and
curve along the surface for con-
siderable distance, forming elevat-
ed and greatly compressed roots.
These buttresses are sometimes so
large that the spaces between them,
if rooted over, would form huts
capable of containing several per-
sons.
There is another form of tree,
hardly less curious, in which the
trunk, though generally straight
and cylindrical, is deeply furrowed
and indented, appearing as if made
up of number of small trees
grown together at the centre.
Sometimes the junction of what
seem TO be the component parts is
so imperfect that gaps or holes are
left by which you can see through
the trunk in various places. At
first one is disposed to think this is
caused by accident or decay, but
repeated examination shows it to
be due to the natural growth of the
tree.
