THE FAKIR.

The game that he played was an old one
Three shells and bit of a ball:
The same that was played by the devil
And Adam just after the fall.
You'd have thought that in this generation
No man who had been from home twice,
Or who had as much sense as rabbit,
Would have caught at the wicked device.
But then we are, all of u.s. human;
And from us our senses oft fee
Then when we reflect we exclaim,-
What fools we poor mortals still be-"
When he came to our town on last Thursday,
Not once did this arch -fakir dream
How many poor suckers he'd catch,
When he cast his hook into the stream.
The ignorant were all that he sought;
Twas never expected to gain
A dollar from those who had sense
Enough to get out of the rain ~
And when he stood up by his table,
And cried, Here's VIII ere five gets you ten,'
He himself was astonished to find
That it took with our very best men.
But they pushed, and they rushed and they ell
bowed,
Each eager to get the first chance
To wager what money he had,
For fear the odds might advance.
And when they had lost all they had,
They borrowed of those who stood by,
So anxious they were and determined
That still their chances they'd try.
There were merchants ana butchers and clerks
And men in tine railroad employ;
jewelers., druggists and farmers.
All trapped by the simple decoy.
And many were of the -Four Hundred"
Who stand away up in Gu
But still they all failed to discern
What danger or wrong there could be.
''The fool and his money are soon parted"
Drop the veil; hide the scene from our view
Nor breathe it to mortal that's living
That half we have told here is true.

As yon walk along the streets of a
city you will often read on sign the
word misft 1t usually applies to
clothing, but if you will notice care
fully as you walk along through the
world you win see insists stamped
on faces as well as signs.
There's the great big man with the
little mean heart. He is a misfit.
There's a little delicate woman
with a great big heart. She is
misft. / have one before me now.
Little, yes little, and plain looking,
but the great, noble, true heart shines
over that plain face until it is beauti-
ful--educated highly, intellect so
broad, heart so grand, that she is
certainly misfit.
There's the man that so far forgets
himself as to usO profane language in
the presence of ladies. He is mis-
fit. He was fitted to be groom to
a gentleman, but by some sad irony
of fate he missed his sphere.
Go into a street car and watch an
aged person enter. There's a poor
girl that rises instantly to seat the
aged person. She is fitted to shine
in higher circles.
There's Mrs. Money sitting there,
she never moves, save to lift her gold
trimmed spectacles and survey the
aged or infrm. After careful sur
vey she draws her siken robes more
closely about her. She is misfit.
She was intended for a washwoman,
but circumstances played joke on
the world when she became rich, and
every one who sees her appreciates
the joke thoroughly.
There's the poor working girl.
Dainty and sweet as field daisy, |
in her cotton dress. Every one re-
spects her sweet ways and noble |
aims, but the moment she decks her
self with gaudy clothes, and gaudier
style, she is a misfit, and all who
know her feel sorry.
There's the poor woman who tries
to affect her neighbours style-she is
a misfit.
There's the uneducated woman

She is a misft Every one knows
TINT education broadens the mind
lifts it from the narrow path into the
highway, and covers with the robe
of charity many sins. The highly |
educated woman who is "born and
bred to the purple" is one who is not
afraid to follow the dictates of her
heart, for she knows how pure she is.
But when / see one that has to be
guided by public opinion exclus-
lively, know at once she is a misft.
She don't belong where she is and
she is afraid of her own self.
There are born misfits and cult
waited misfits, but none so bad that
they may not cultivate themselves

There's no one that does not look

The genius of crime is the pinch

way, condition of things a little
less unequal and onerous than they

that there will be a falling off in
crime to an extent that will surprise

STATE OFFICIALS.

The action of a party of Russian refu-
gees at Chicago one day last week affords
striking commentary on unrestricted
immigration. twenty-five or thirty of
these refugees who had been housed and
fed for weeks at the public expense were
provided with work and requested to
leave. They refused point blank and
insisted on continuance of charity,
protesting that they were not able to
work. The agents thought otherwise
and as dernier resort, elected them.
After short time the refugees returned
and made an attack on the building,
tearing down one of the doors. Police
were summoned who succeeded in quiet
ing the rioters for time, but they soon
returned, backed up by a rabble from
the streets. The men again insisted
that they were unable to work but after
two or three hours wrangling with the
police they were forced to leave, which
they did, threatening the while to make
trouble. 1t is not about time that the
gates of Castle Garden were closed
against such immigrants?
