from the Albany journal.
In the old days before the telegraph a man
in Greenbush, N. Y, who was infatuated with
lottery policy as it was then played, hit on
plan of ''beating the game" The returns of
drawings were then received in New York some
hours in ad vance of the Albany agents receipt
of them, and it occurred to him to try heading
off the mail with carrier pigeons. SO very
secretly he secured couple of pairs of hon.
approached shipped them to New York. 4
relative in New York secured the drawing as it
arrived, and fastening slip containing it
properly secured about each pigeons neck, let
them loose. They arrived in Albany far in
advance of the mail. and the Greenbush man
investing heavily on the numbers thus re-
ceNed, nearly bankrupted the policy men on
his first essay. He worked it more guardedly
thereafter, but they finally tumbled, and plac-
ing upon him the sobriquet of II fy," he re-
tanned it to his death. His winnings by this
means were at least 100000.

lady then ran and Fannie Bryant caught and

The clouds will darken.

And the boy who sows good seeds to-day
Shall reap the crop tomorrow.

Though it may fall
Where you cannot know,
Yet in summer and shade
1t will surely grow;
And the girl who sows good seeds to-day
Shall reap the crop tomorrow.

By the wayslde high,
You must reap the harvest
BY and by.

And the girl who now,
With careless hand,

Over the land,
Must know that whatever she sows to-day
She must reap the same tomorrow.
Then let US SOW good seed, now!
And not the briers and weeds, nowl
That when the harvest
For US shall come,
We may have good sheaves
TO carry home.
For the seed we SOW in our lives to-day
Shall grow and bear fruit tomorrow.
