To draw or not to draw, that is the question.
Whether It's safer 10 the player to take
The awful risk of skipningtor straight,
Or, standing pat. to raise n sll the limit,

No more-snd by that ekin to get full
Or two pair. or the latest bou. cling kings
Chat flesh is heir tots contamination
Dsvoutlv to be wished. TO draw. to sklr;
TO skin perchance to burst-aye, there's the
rubl
For 10 that draw of three whet cards may come
When We have shU FL ID eff the uncertsiu pack,
Must give Us pause. There's the respect
Which makes calamity Of bob taed flush.
For who would bear the overwhelming bind.
The reckless stradcle, the wait On the edge,
The insolence Of pat hands. and the lifts
That patient merit of the bluff9r takes,
When he himself might BIZ much better OF
By simply passing? Who would trays-up hold
Aud 60 out 90 shall progressive raise.
But that the dread of something alter call,
The undiscovered ace full. to whose strength
Such hands must b, W. puzzles the Will
Aud makes Us rather keep the chips we nave
Than be curious about hands, we know not OF
Thus bluf6og doth lake towards OF as ALL. :.
And thus the native hue of tour.healt flush

With this regard. th.ir interest turn away,
And lose the right to open.

Mr.. EDITOR I'm a short time
Council will advertise for proposals
for removing the ashes from the
dwellings in this city. The contract

follows: ITO remove or cause to he

cidental to housekeeping, &c. p This
has not been done by the present
contractor, as his men take out anv
little grass and rubbish that NAV be
in barrel or box, and throw il into
the street, leaving it before the doors
instead of doing as his contract en-
joins upon him to do. If he persista
in doing SO hereafter he will be at
tended to, as he has as much right to
remove all rubbish as he has ashes
The Street Commissioner sbouIfl
look after this matter, as it is his
duty to do so. l would suggest that
when the time arrives to contract for
removal of garbage that the work of
removal be given to four contractors.
Let the city be divided by Market
and Sixth streets, making four dis
tricts. as it is the work Is not half
done. The contractor does not en-
ploy the number OF teams required
by ordinance and his agreement.
He is required to furnish twelve
water tight carts which would require
twelve horses and twelve drivers. This
has not been done, but the contractor
has been allowed to do pretty much as
he pleases keeping the people I'm tur-
moil all the time. In fact the contrac-
Tor has not the means to furnish all
that is required, hence he does the
best he can with what lie has. ~Thisi is
not right aDd the. remedy l propose

One man could attend to one-fourth
Of the city which would take three
carts, he could have the whole of his
district under his immediate eve. and
attend to the matter as it should be
done, but such contractors as We have
canno. doit. The cost would be some
what advanced but not much, and
these everlasting complaints would be
got rid of, and the people have their
wants attended to in a proper manner
which is due 10 them as they pay for
it. Now is the time to remedy this
growing evil. Do not wait until the
thing is put in the same condition for
another year. TAXPAYER.
