A New and Fascinating Game.

New games for the parlor are invented
by scores, but very few Of them obtain per-
manent popularity One has just made its
appearance, however, which promises to be
lasting favorite. It is the invention of
Boston lady, and is known as '"The Game
Of Politics, or the Race for the Presidency"
1t is perfect parody Of the four-yearly
national contest for possession of the White
House. 1t is played on brilliantly colored
board, with pack Of forty eight cards,
bearing Numbers from LOCO up to 10, 900,
and the contest for the electoral votes of
each of the thirtyeight States in the Union
is carried on in close and exciting imitation
Of the real struggle between the parties,
Children in their teens are delighted with
it, grown folks find it as good as whist or
poker, and everybody who plays it is
charmed with it,

THE GOLDEN EGG.
Ca POEM OF PASSION.)

CA POEM OF PASSIoN)
A lovely maid was once engaged
Unto bachelor old
Who owned goose, that every day
For his delight was said to lay
An egg of purest gold.
This egg it was his daily wont
To offer at her shrine
In costly gems, and flowers fair,
Delicious fruits and sweetmeats rare,
And fagons of old wine
And though the lovely maid was pleased
With these Gbations poured
Upon her shrine I fain must own
although she would not have it known,
At times the maid was bored
And when her fancy seemed to stray,
The gifts more frequent grew;
Hoping her love might be enticed
The daily egg was sacrificed,
And sometimes strangely-tzOo.
But when one blssful summer day,
She met charming youth,
Devoid of purse, or scrip. or fame
But with an honest heart and name
Regrets were stirred forsooth-
And then her GOODNESS grew apace,
She said her love was Stupid
Never was sharper struggle seen
Than that which shortly ragged between
CMpfdaty and Cupid.
And in the watches of the night,
The question she would beg;
Her passions playing fast and loose.
She'd cry Must I then Stay the goose
That lays the golden egg?"
mot yet, not yet; for bric-a-brac,
And gems of curious style,
Are fitting offerings for belle,
And Gunther's com6ts please me we'll
The goose may live awhile"
And had it lived until this time
My song had ne'er been sung
But ah alas; one fate(ul day
When love had tarried by the way
The gooSe's neck 7Oas 7Orung.
The moral to this tragic tale
1t were not hard to prove
That golden eggs comestible,
Are hard and indigestible,
Without the salt of love.

Inherited Blood Poison.

How many people there are whose
distress from sores, aches, pains ani.
ernptiye tendencies are due to inherited
blood poison. Bad blood passes from
parent to child, and it therefore is the
duty of husband and wife to keep their
blood pure. This IL easily accomplished
by timely use of b. D. B. (Botanic
Blood Balm). Sond to Blood Balm Co.,
Atlanta, for book Of most convincing
proof.
James Hill, Atlanta, Ca, writes: "My
two sons were afflicted with blood poi
son, which doctors said was hereditary.
They both broke out in sores and erup-
tions which B. y. b. promptly controlled
and finally cured completely"
Mrs. s. M. Williams, Sandy, Texas,
writes: "Aly three poor afflicted children,
who inherited blood poison, have i'm
proved rapidly after a use of b. B. b. It
is q Godsend."
j. II. Wilson, Glen Alpine Station, N.
G., February IL, 1885, writes: "Bone and
blood poison forced me to have my leg
amputated, and on tho stump there came
2 large ulcer, which grew worse every
day until the doctors gave mo up to die.

to take B. B. b., and IL bottles Increased

The Tide OF immigration.

1t is to the great landing stages of
the Liverpool docks that we must
look to obtain an adequate notion of
the vast stream of emigration which
is over flowing Westward from or
through the islands. Within the
last few days we have published a
description of the departure of emil
grants from the Thames; but in Lon
don these sights are seen only on a
puny scale, as compared with the
great unceasing exodus fr> II the
Mersey. One day recently no fewer
than five great ocean steamers sailed
away from Liverpool, chiefly for
Canada, the United States, and the
Brazils, bearing with them nearly
1000 human beings, most of whom
that day must have taken leave for
ever of the Old World

Hon. w %. r. breckenridge, b Of
|, ,lsentaeky, IS was the principal crater.
at the Dedication of the monument
at Plymouth, Mass, on the 1st In
stant, IN honor of the Pilgrim fa-
thers. Ithas been thirty years since
the cornerstone Of this monument
was laid, and there had been some
criticism of its managers because the
oration was to be delivered by q
Southerner and an Confederate.
Ills effort fully met tho requirements
of the occasion, however, and. the
criticisms were forgotten. He is q
Presbyterian elder, and the son of
Dr. Robert breckenridge, who was a
distinguished Presbyterian minister
and an ardent unionist during the
war. The orator at Plymouth fol-
lowed the fortunes of the Confede-
racy, and commanded a regiment of
cavalry. Of his speech we find
the following comment in lions Id
Uacate:
"Mr. Breckenridge amply vindi-
Gated his fitness to speak Of the Pill
grims in the spirit of tho Pilgrims.
The oration was as reverent as it was
thoughtful, while of oratorical fervor
it was so full that rarely have we
been so stirred by thoughts that
breathe and words that burn as in
listening to Mr.. Brcckinridge's mas
tcriy unfolding of tho principles that
brought the Pilgrims to our shores
and made them the founders of our
great republic. Everywhere through
out the address it was evident that
tho orator believed and therefore
spoke. There was literary finish in
what he said, but also firm grasp of
Pilgrim ideas. In fact, we question
if the faith of the forefathcrs ever
had more sympathetic and faithful
exponent. Other men in elaborate
orations have cloqucntly praised the
Pilgrims, but here was picty as well
as ability, and the real meaning of
the coming of the Maytlowcr to
these New England shores was pre-
sentcd in the spirit of one who had
not only studied but admired the
Pilgrim character. In delivering his
oration Mr.. Breckenridge spoke
without notes, and with all the ease
of an eNtcmporc address"

Chronic Borrowers.

If you are buying house in q
neighborhood unknown to you, you
will naturally ask all kind of ques-
tions. You will want to know if the
drainage is good, if the air is pure,
if there has ever been any malaria,
how far it is to the depot and post
office, but ten to one you don't in
quirc if there are any borrowers in
the neighborhood.
Now chronic borrower is a dead
y nuisance in q community. a wo-
man who is always "just out" Of sa-
lcratus will stir up more trouble in n
ncighborhood than mad dog and a
flock Of fifteen hens and rooster.
She will run in on you at any and
all hours, and want to borrow Just a
little sugar, or spice, till she caa
send to the groccr's. She really did
not know she was anywhere near
out till she went about her cooking,
and then she found she hadn't 4
dust of sugar in the house and not
a soul around anywhere that she
could send ont after any.
And she will tell you that she
does so hate to trouble you; for if
there is anything on earth she dis
likes to do it is to borrow-and she
never does it when she can help it;
but now her pie crust is all on the
plates, and she was obliged 10, be-
cause she could not spare the time
to run to the groccr's. And she will
sit Down in your kitchen and stop
half an hour, and talk about every
body in town; and, meanwhile, she
will take an account Of everything
her eyes fall on, and she viii see be-
hind your stove the cobwrbs that
you forgot to brush down this morn

that your lamp chimncys have not
been washed, and that your dishes

TALLY offset by the fact that the

the situation is that the heavy cx-
