SPRING.

Hark l hear the bluebird sing,
And that's q sign of coming spring;
The wild goose flies away up yander-
She's going North along with the gander
The bull frog bellers in the bitches,
He's thrown away his winter britches;
The turkey gobler steps around,
And swells and struts and scrapes the
ground;
The hawk for infant chickens watches,
And prowls around till one he eotches.
The dogwood buds are now a swelling,
And yaller jonquills sweet are smelling.
The darkey follows his stubborn mule,
And lively hollers, ''gee, you fool"
The honey bees are swiftly humming,
And everything says spring is coming.

A VERY QUIET GAME.

| There are some folks who think
it awful wicked for husband and
wife to sit down together of an
evening and play cards, while 9TH
/ ers can't see where the harm comes
in.
"Why," said the Colonel, few
days ago, when the subject of card
playing was under discussion, "does
any one pretend that my wife and l
can't play few games of euchre
without disputing and arguing and
getting mad over it? Loafers can't,
perhaps, but we could play for a
thousand years and never have Il
word-yes, we could"
TIE others shook their heads in
dubious way, and the nettled
Colonel walked straight to sta
toner's and bought the incest pack
he could find. That evening, when
his wife was ready to sit down to
her fancy work, he produced the
cards and said:
MARY, was told to-day that you
and l couldn't play cards without
disputing and getting into q row.
Darling, draw up here"
Dearest, we will not have word
of dispute-not one," she replied,
as she put away her work.
The Colonel shuffied away and
dealt, and turned up u heart.
Il order it up she observed, as
she looked over her cards.
II was going to take it up any
how" growled the Colonel, as his
chin fell, all his other cards being
black.
"Play to that" she said. as she
put down the joker.
Whoever heard of anybody Lead
ing out with trumps!' he exclaiin-
ed. why don't you lead ont with
an ace?'
"Oh, l can play .his hand"
you can, eh? Well. III make it
the sickest play yo ever sawl Hai
took all the tricks. "a? Well. / Just
thought I'd encourage J on 4 little.
Give me the cards--it ny deal"
you dealt before
"No, I didn't"
"Why. yes you did, w have
only played one hand"

DON'T STAY LATE TONIGHT.

The hearth of home is beaming
With rays of rosy light,
And lovely eyes are cleaning,
As fall the shades of night:
And while thy steps are leaving
The circle pure and bright,
A tender voice. half grieving.
Says, Don't stay late tonight ~
The world in which thou movest
Is busy, brave and wide;
The world Of her thou lowest,
Is at the ingle side.
She waits for thy warm greeting,
Thy smile is her delight;
Her gentle voice, entreuting,
Says, Don't stay late tonight"
The world, so cold, inhuman.
Will spurn thee if thou fall;
The love of one poor woman
Outlasts and shames them all.
Thy children will cling round thee,
Let fate be dark or bright:
At home no shaft will wound thee,
Then don't stay late tonight"
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1880-04-17
NO. 13.

"Well, go ahead, and deal all the
time if you want to! I'll make two
off your deal anyhow. What's
trumps?"
| She turned up club. He had
only the nine spot, but he scratched
his head, puckered his mouth, and
seemed 10 want 10 order it up. The
bluff didn't work. She took it up,
and he led the ace of hearts.
"No hearts, eh2" he shouted, as
she trumped it. Refusing suit is
Il regular loafer's tlickl I'll keep
an eye on you. Yes. take it-and
that--and that-and all of 'emi Its
mighty queer where you got all
those trumps! Stocked the cards
on me. did you'll"
"Now, dear, played as fair as
could be. and made two, and if
make one on your deal I'll skunk
you"
"Td like to see you make one on
my deall" he puffed. I've been
fooling along to encourage you, but
now I'm going to beat you out of
sight Diamonds are trumps-"
She passed and he took it UP on
two small trumps. He took the
first trick, she the next two, he the
fourth, and when he put out his
last trump she had the joker.
"Skunkedl skunkedl" she ex-
claimed, as she clapped her hands
in glee.
You didn't follow suit r.
"Oh, yes I didr'
II know betteri You refused
spades.."
4But ! hadn't any,"
"You hadn't, ell? Why didn't
you have any? I never saw q hand
yet without at least one spade in it. :"
"Why, husband, I know how to
play cards"
And don't 1? Wasn't I playing
euehre when you were learning to
walk? Isay you stocked the cards
on me-"
"No, I didn't! You are a poor
player. You don't know how to
leadI"
I--I-why, maybe I'm a
fool, and maybe I don't know any
thing, and SO you can play alone and
have all trumps every time!"
He pushed his chair back, grab
bed his paper, wheeled around to
the gas, and it was nearly thirty-six
hours before he smiled again. New
ertheless, no one else ever had a
dispute over cards.-Free Press.
