MY NEIGHEOR AND l.

Oh! pity my neghbor over the way,
Who has nothing to do but yawn all day;
No little hands To tumble her hair;
No little nuisance" to vex her with care;
No little "torment" to worry and tease:
Nothing to do but consult her own ease.
Poor, rich neishbor, | am sorry for you,
Sorry, because you have "nothing to do;'
Sorry, because as the days 90 by,
You are restless and weary, you know not
why;
And once in while / can see the trace
OF many tear on your proud, fair face.
You see / am only laborer's wife,
Doing my part in the treadmill of life;
Joe, my husband, il off all day,
Fighting tho giants of want away;
Baby and are busy, too,
But we've plenty of time to bo sorry for you.
Baby's n nuisance, a plague and Joy,
But then, you see, he Is my own sweet boy;
l have no time for groan or sigh,
No time to be idle as the days go by;
My arms are full as the day is long,
Full as my heart, with its happy song.
Poor, rich neighbor over the way,
Watching my baby and me Mt play;
What of your wealth, if your heart is bare?
'Tis to love and be loved that makes life 40
fair.
No, neighbor mine, l can tell you true,
Indeed, I'd rather be l than you.

THREE GOLDEN BALLs.-It may not
be generally known that the game OF
billiards originated in pawnbroker's
shop. In the latter part OF the six
teenth century London pawnbroker,
William Kerr, was in the habit of
amusing himself in wet weather,
when there were no customers, with
pushing about three balls on the
counter with a yard measure This
suggested q board with side pockets.
An old manuscript says: "Master
William Kerr did make one board
whereby game is played with three
balls; and all the young men were
recreated thereat, chiefly the young
elergymen from St Paul's; hence ono
of ye strokes was named a cannon
having been by one Of ye said clergy
men invented. Tho game is now
known by the name of bill yard be-
cause William or Bill Kerr did first
play with the yard measure. The
stick is now called kew,' or kue.'"
Tho bill yard is modernized into
billiard and kew into cue.
