One day this summer we rode fifty miles in
q railway car, seated behind four men who
were playing with those awful playthings OF
the devil-cards. They played euchre until
they were tired Of It. They played little
seyen-up, Pedro, and occasionally triiie of
poker. We never heard dispute. Their
outbursts OF merriment occasionally at some
unexpected play repeatedly drew our eyes
from our book, They never quarreled and
never called names once. When we got out
at our station we sat at our window and
watched a party of young men and maid
ems play croquet. :, In, fifteen minutes we
saw two persons cheat successfully. We
heard the one player who did not cheat &C
cused Of cheating five times; We heard four
full young girl tell two lies, and o neek-look-
ing young man three; and finally We , say TIE
fence SO hard that it frightened horse The
Other young Eli P pounded nd her bs s b hard
apple tree. They both banged into the
house at different doors, and the two young
men looked sheepish, and went off after q
drink. Now, why is this? Isn't croquet d
good, moral game?-[ Hawkeye.

The Experiences ef . Lucky Man.

Mr., Geo r. 6ornto, the lucky man of Prin-
cess Anne County, Va, who drew the
s3O,DD6 prize in the louisiana State Lottery,
was heavily in debt, with q mortgage on his
farm, and things going behindhand with
him generally. He got hold OF a copy Of the
advertisement of the Lottery. He determin-
ed 10 make "A venture. He had but s5 l5 IN
the world. He wroteoto NJ A. Dauphin, p.
q. Box 692, New Orleans, and enclosed y in
the letter. and was just about TO send II oil TO
the Post Office by boy, when a negro hand
OF his called on him and demanded his
wages, which just amounted TO 20. He oiier-
ed the man the s3 he had left, but thiS was
declined by the daiky, who tnreated TO leave
his work Just at a critical time unless he got
the whole He took the letter, and the two
dollars out of it, which, with the y, he han
ded 10 the man
Thus was he with but fifteen cents cash in
the world; and while in this melancholy
frame of mind about an hour afterward,
negro man drove up and bought load of fod-
der, amounting to fl-S0, not enough TO pay
for the ticket, but with ten cents in lis pock-
et he made up the amount, and re-wroie the
letter and enclosed 81. The next thing that
turned up from tEa: e. was the gratifying in
telligence that his ticket had drawn a prize
OF 70 coo, more than enough to alter bis cur
rent of bad luck, enable him TO raise the
mortgage, stock his farm well, and put him
on his pins again. Such Is luck.
