There is q game of cards very
popular in Ireland called Spoiled
Five Any number of persons
greater than two can participate
in q game, but with three contest
ants the best points are drawn
out. Each player LOOKS exclu-
siveiy after his own interests.
Each trick counts five, and TO win
a game it is necessary to get ff-
teen in a single hand. But as on
ly five cards are dealt to each
player, this, it will be seem, is
not an easy thing to do; and with
good players the battle has often
TO be fought again and again,
with increasing stakes and in
terest, before victory is scored.
AS soon as the player has looked
at his hand and calculated his
chances, ne is guided By this gold
en- rule: If you can't win the
game, spoil it,

PERSEVERE.

The world thou seek st to know
Is often dark and drear;
Shadows around may fall.
But perseverei
The hill thou climb'St is high,
The prize is great and near;
Write "duty" on thy heart,
And persevere!
The road is smooth to all
Who haye conscience clear;
Walk wisely on thy path
And persevere!
Be firm! If fortune fails,
Life's burdens do not fear;
Go forth With manly pride,
And persevere!
Few fail who seek to win,
None stray who righ tly steer.
Thine is the prize if thou
Wilt persevere!
Around the darkest storm
The SUMS bright beams appear,
With light and hope for all
Who perSevere!
The worlds temptations scoTn;
Let Others wealth revere;
Be strong in right, detest the wrong,
And persevere!
Then, when life's twilight fades,
The thought will give thee cheer
That thou in trials passed.
Didst persevere!

gsIsetsn Story,
TRUB UNTO DBATH'
BY ALFRED JEFFERSON.

The bright rays of bright
June days sun were fast disap-
pearing in the distant west. and
shed a mellow reflection through
out the quiet and unromantic viii
lage of Norwalk. The little birds
had ceased their sweet carols and
sought the comfort Of their nests,
and all assumed the stiffness of
an evening.
Slowly vending his way home
ward along the village road, could
be seen a young man ; a broad
brimmed straw hat hid from view
his countcnancc, and his eyes
were pensively fixed on the
ground before him, as lfin medl-
tation.
oh, here comes Walter = ex-
claimed a brlght-eyed little girl,
who had been anxiously watch
ing at the gate for his coming;
and away she ran to greet him.
Impressiug kiss upon her rosy
cheek he raised her in bis arms
and carried her into the house,
and placed her in her little chair
beside him at the supper table.
'WaIter,' said an old man, who
had just returned from the gar
den, with an armful of vegetables
for the evening meal, who was
that saw you walking home
with this evening, and whom you
bade such an afectionate ad!eu ?
The questioner was Richard
Sanford, an erratic old man and
father of Walter, who eked out a
scanty livelihood by cultivating
vegetables, and supplying the
wants of the surrounding neigh
bors, his mean ways and harsh
temper had caused the young peo-
pie of the village to look upon
him with scorn, and rumor hinted
that he had caused the death OF
his first wife through his un-
governable temper.
"a friend of mine,' answered
Walter, with some hesitation.
Its a lie, sir, sans" cred the old
man, in a rage.
1T was that daughter Of old
Mrs. Thompson's whom have so
often forbidden you to associate
with. Now, see here, sir! There's
but one alternative tor you to &C.
cept, and that is TO discard her
society, or leave the shelter Of my
roof
Walter did not reply, for he
knew it was useless, and for tear
of melting him to violence be
arose from his seat at the supp er
table, and without word he put
on his hat and went out into the
open air.
The Thompson's were poor, but
honest ncighbors; old Mrs. Thomp-
son had been widowed by the
death of her husband in the war
of the rebellion ; small pension
derived from the government, and
the scanty earnings of her daugh'
ter who was employed in silk
mill in a neighboring town, sui:

''La, now, my dear, don't you
fret" said Mrs. Drab. "The chick
ems will soon be large enough for
you to leave home, and take 'em
abroad. You won't have much
trouble with 'em after that. Why,
just think of me; I've raised four
broods without any fuss at all, and
never lost but three out of the
whole lot of 'em, either"
"Well," said Miss Black, pertly,
4 think it is burning shame for
a hen to be shut up ia this man
ner, without having any say in the
matter, and entirely against her
will. I don't see why we should
be trodden upon just because we
are hens. I believe that hens
should have their liberty as much
as roosters, and I for one, declare
against coops. They are an indig-
ity to which we should not submit.
What do you think, Miss Top
Knot?"
Miss Top-Knot, who had been
listening near by, drew up her left
foot, put her head on one side, and
trying to look very wise, said that
she should like to know why hens
shouldn't be allowed to croao,if they
chose. She believed that every
one should have that privilege in
this free country. "I'm sure," she
added, "I've got as good Alright to
crow as Tommy Cockadoodle, and
much better voice, if it1was only
cultivated. Just hear me once, if
you don't believe it." Here she
crowed feebly, in such a shrill,
piping voice, that Mrs. Drsb, and
one or two other old hens, rolled
on the ground in fits of laughter.
This put Miss Top-Knot in such a
rage that the feathers on her head
bristled up in the fercest manner.
There is no knowing what might
have happened, if Tommy Cocka-
doodle hadn't come running up
just then to tell them the news
"Alas!" gasped he, breathless with
haste and the heat, "those charm.
ing Miss Pallets: They were
chased by Farmer Thrifty's dog all
around the strawberry patch, and
afterwards were caught eating the.
green peas, and shut up for steal
ing?"
"How dreadful!" said everybody,
and then they all went of to tell
the tale to their neighbors.
Mrs. Speckle continued so cross
all that day that the little Speckles
went over to play with the Brown
chickens. Jacky Brown pushed
Noddy Speckle into the pan Of wa
ter when be was drinking, and al
most drowned him. Noddy hop
ped around where the sun was the
hottest, but though the day was
very warm, be shivered with cold,
and it took him along to get dry.
Then Bobby, who had been scratch
ing in a little corner, was lucky
enough at last to find q lovely
worm, the largest one he had ever
seen. He tried to eat it as fast as
possible, before any one saw him,
but one of the Browns happening
to spy him, they all gave chase,
and poor Bobby nearly choked to
death before he could swallow.

THE DISCONNECTED HEN.


coop, situated under the pleasant
shade of an old apple-tree, and
though she had as cunning a little
brood Of chickens as one would
wish to see, yet she was not con-
tented. One fine June morning, as
she was gazing longingly out at
the green fields, the Misses Pullets
came sauntering airily along, in all
the pride of their new spring suits
of buff and brown.
"Ah, poor, dear Mrs. Speckle !"
said they, eve are so sorry you
can't come with US this beautiful
morning. We are taking stroll
to the. gardens. We have heard
that there are green peas large
enough to eat, and Tommy Cocka-
doodle says that Farmer Thrifty
has a whole field of ripe strawber-
ries."
"Ah !" sighed Mrs. Speckle, wip-
ing her nose upon the grass, Il
should be delighted to go with
you. I haven't had much appe-
tite lately, and little garden sauce
would do me good, I know it is
so long since I have tasted any
vegetables or fruit. But here l
am, cooped up, you see, and can't
leave home while my chickens are
so young. For my part, I don't
see how any one can like house
keeping. I know that I never
shall. to the longest day that l
live"
"Ah, poor dear! We are very
sorry for you" said the pullets.
"Perhaps We can bring you a
strawberry or pea, but we must
be going now. Goodbye" and off
they tripped, dainty picking their
way towards the garden.
Their call did not make Mrs.
Speckle any happier, and after
they were gone, she began walk
ing up and down in very rutaed
state Of mind and feathers. Being
wholly occupied with herself, she
stepped without regard upon sew
eral of the chickens, which made
them cry out, ''p p, peep,
p-e-e-p!"
"Dear me !" exclaimed their mo-
ther, Grossly, giving Bobby a sharp
peck on the head. "Did any one
ever see such chickens, always
around under ones feet" Do go
out and scratch"
Away they all scampered, and
Bobby, wishing to soothe his
wounded feelings with a bug,
scratched away so briskly that he
tummbled over on his back. Then
they all laughed at him, and poor
Bobby felt worse than ever. To
be pecked on the head, and be
laughed at beside, was more than
he could bear; so he went away
alone and stood under rosebush,
feeling himself a very ill-used
chicken inded.
Not long after the pullets had
left Mrs. Speckle, Mrs. Drab, a
very sedate old hen, came to call on
her, with Miss Black: a very
sprightly young fowl of Spanish
descent, who had quite mind Of her
own. "Good morning, Sis ter
Speckle,' said Mrs. Drab. "Why,
what is the matter? you look out
of sorts this morning." Mrs.
Speckle, who was usually quite
vain of her good looks, smoothed
down her rumed feathers a little,
and answered in a querulous tone:
"Matter! I should think it was
enough to kill any hen to be shut
up here day after day, as l am, with

THE NEW BONNET.

New bonnets are so similar 10 out
line to those of the winter. that the
desire for distinction which seems in
herent in the human breast, must
needs find scope in other directions.
So, in consequence, there is often
times the most lavish piling together
of extreme colors that ever you saw,
while manufacturers of flowers, al
though sometimes content with Civ
ing them to US in patterns copied af-
ter nature, have oftener preferred to
60 far beyoud her modest dictates and
thus We see enormous red or yellow
daisies, asters twice the size of those
that garden ever produced, ETC., etc.
There is a strong partiality for wide
open many petaled flowers and there
fore any variety coming under such
appellation is sought for. Foil
age is at discount and though not
abandoned, is but sparingly inter-
mixed and for the most part in unpre-
tentious shades Of green. Flowers ID
consequence, are massed in rows or
great punches: with staring effect, but
We have grown accustomed to these
pronounced dispositions and scarcely
lock at them. Yet a toning down of
extravagant results is oftentimes pro,
duced by soft serge silk in one deli
cate shade throughout or by the use
of solid colored ribbon. Other silks
and ribbons however are extremely
bright and in varied combinations as
to color ; striped ribbons are quite
fashionable and dots, both in self color
and in gay contrasts and of all sizes,
are much in vogue.

COSTUMES.

Combination suits are genuine CON-
biuations, for the two materials are
united throughout, and this to the
disadvantage of a skirt Of one fabric
and o7erdress Of another. The latter
| idea indeed is almost wholly excluded
except in case of some elegant light
material, but even here, the skirt
should correspond in tone with what
is Worn above and there is almost al
ways a unity apparent somWhere.
Trimmed skirts and basques are ex-
tremely fashionable and in this style
We find the Delphioe costume which
embodies the latest ideas. Even wash
dresses follow, and are shown ready
made with inclined, tight fitting
basque or half fitting jacket which
can be belted in. In general, the
trimming on the skirt is so arranged
that it can be displaced for washing,
but it is of course more convenient to
have a separate o7erskirt and here
we fud the Mabrilia which is at once
simple and graceful. The GWendo'
line costume, suitable for silk or wool,
is made with long coat shaped bas-
Que and trained shirt on which the
drapery is very handsomely disposed
| and the Croisette basque would be
quite becoming to full figure as it is
long and plain on The sides. For
travelling, the Windsor redingote an
swers the same purpose as an ulster,
but it is Of newer shape. Wash dresses
are constantly relieved by ribbon bows
and silk or wool costumes are also
adorned in like manner; but to Inn
tied extent only. Buttons are taV-
orite addition to the last named
| varieties of outfits and are in such
diversity that description would be
never ending. At tunes they orna-
mept costumes of plain wool instead OF
brocade and form a beautiful and
elittering finish. Everywhere there
is rage for shirring, so much so that
it can hardly be overdone or mis-
| placed. But plaitings are likewise
very popular.
GLOVES, ETC.
In kid gloves the Harris kid lace
top is extremely elegant and especially
adapted to summer wear, as an oppor,
tunity is given for a display OF the
beautiful finish at the top. Such hD-
ish is of kid finely cut to resemble
lace and it is so skilfully done that
the imitation is remarkable. 1t is
either of uniform color with the glove,
or Of white kid contrasted with some
stylish shade and altogether is by tar
the most attractive glove shown. The
Harris seamless retains position as a
perfect fitting and very durable glove.
