A PLOTTING JUDGE.

In Lexington, Ky, at tho old Broad. way hotel, one night many years ago, the famous Thomas K. Marshall, wit and orator, was engaged at a game of billiards with Judge John Rowan, a brilliant jurist, in whose honor the county of Rowan, late become notori- ous for outlawry, was named. The game they wero playing was on ono of the old fashioned billiard tables which had pockets At the corners. The strong point in Judgc RowAn's game was his remarkable capacity for pock. eting balls, an evidence that he would, If he fourlshcd now, be an accom- plishcd fltteon- ball pool player.
 During the progress of the game a spectator said to Mir. Marshall;
 Judge Rowan Is quite an adept at putting In balls"
 "fes," replied Tom, "and nobody ought to know that better than |, for I've been carry Ing one, ever since, that he put into mo ten years ago"
 Marshall and Rowan, years before that, had fought ducl in which the bellicosc judge had caught his man"

When young man has parted with his last dollar for q pair of theatre tickets, his soul sinks within him when he hears "tbe batter of the rain upon the roof" just before the eurtaii, goes down on the last act, and fond |. ling the two nickels which he had provided for street-csr fare brings him 10 pleasure while he sadly con. templates the fact that he has thereto fore utterly failed to cultivate the acquaintance of cab-driver. All this teaches him lesson, however, which will eventnate in many treat, in the future, to cab-drivers, when that young man is In funds again.

THE POET-KING.
BY WILL vIssCHER.

A quiet man of gentle face, Yet noble mien and courtly grace,
 To need and sorrow wed; For lack of gold his worth untold, And jealous Fame speaks not his name,
 But waits till he is dead. He sat beside limpid stream And saw it's lucent waters gleam
 In jewels, rich and rare; And in the hue of Heavens blue, An angel face, of tender grace,
 Was sweetly mirrored there. He saw the flowers bloom and blush, From cordial morn till evenings hush,
 And listened to the lay Of cooing dove-so full of love And drank the breeze, that kissed the trees
 In happy holden play. Now sits the poet on his throne A monarch in a realm, his own,
 And holds the universe Within his clasp, with royal grasp A regal king, with soul to sing;
 But stripped of script and purse. Now list the music of his shell, And hear his raptured accents tell
 Of pure and noble things. With minstrel's art, and poets heart, He fills the bowl that soothes the soul;
 As gailantly he sings.

TOO MUSICAL.

His own peculiar imagination had told him that hc was very smart young man. and one who would bc missei great deal if he should lcavc the world, Perhaps somebody else, with no moro brains than he. or \ goat, may have told him that also.

 So It happened
 One day somewhat elderly man, plainly dressed, crowned with black slouch hat, and altogether travel stained, approached this young man and asked him, very politely, if his chief were in.
 "No, not in," and a bar Of "The Mikado" followed in a very charming whistle.
 "When do you think hc will Do in2"
 "IIavcn't the slightest suspicion" Another bar Of the charming whistle. This ono, perhaps, from "The Cor sair."
 "Then will call again."
 "Do." and A strain from "Chippy, Get Yonr Hair Cut"
 The old gentleman turned to go. In the doorway he met the chief of the office, who extended both hands, cordially sTss:Hgi
 "Ah, general, when did you arrivc7 Delighted to see you. Been expect. ing you for several days, and have tho affairs of my office in trim, hope, for your overlooking and approval"
