ALL FROM A POKER CHIP.

Why Man About Town Was Made to Feel
Down In the Mouth.
The other day gentleman well known
about town came down the street look
ing very much out of sorts. He carried
so much gloom in his usually cheerful
face that his friends were almost afraid
to ask him what the matter was. There
are some of our dear fellow creatures
who in this respect are as transparent as
glass. They so around with a sign hang
ing out, I'm out of sorts this morning;"
or "Tm just feeling bully; got my deal
through;" or THE DEVILS to pay up at
my house; III dine out today sure;" or
''If | catch that fellow I'll lick him." or
I've got note to pay today" or some
thing of that sort.
OF this mercurial kind was this partic-
ular gentleman. He had the mote due"
sign out to such an extent that you
couldn't have distinguished it from
death in the family"
1.-The truth is" said he, when pressed
little more sympathetically than usual,
I've had it hot this morning up at hore.
You know used to play cards some be-
fore | was married, and | got in % q
pretty bad hole afterward and swore off
after row with my wife. She has kept
pretty stiff watch on me since. She is
always afraid I'll get to gambling again.
During the campaign was out a good
deal, and I've been short Of money ever
since the election"
There was touch of sadness in the
admission that would have gone straight
20 the heart Of my friend, Colonel Swords,
out which drew only derisive smile
from the speakers auditors.
While out west the other day found
red poker chip on the floor Of my room
and thoughtlessly put it in my pocket.
Well, that confounded chip fell out this
morning just after had been compelled
TO refuse my wife some money. l had
forgotten all about it.
Nv hats thaty she screamed, pOunc-
ing upon it like rat terrier on mouse.
There's where your money goesr she
wouldn't listen to word. She wouldn't
believe word. She acted like q crazy
woman, tell you. Then she wound up
with Mysteries and fears. ! finally had
to make clean breast of the election
business to get out of the other hole.
Now, my wife is redhot Democrat, and
when she found I'd lost my money on
Harrison she braced up right away. She
believed that.
1T served you right said she. But
you're bigger fool than took you to
be-
"There it is--all from picking up a
poker chip I'll shudder whenever I see
one hereafter, but I'll never touch it, you
betr'-New York Herald.

THE SONG THE KETTLE SINGS.

Sweet are the songs by lovers suIx
As they the old. old story tell,
And sweet the S-oon OF bees among
The clover blossoms and asphodel,
And glad the notes the skylarks trill
At dawn upon their buoyant wings.
But dearer, softer, better still
The low, sweet song the kettle sings
How strangely come TO us again
The pleasant scenes of other days;
The happy golden moments when
We went our simple childish ways
When all life's journey lay before
And gayly beckoned us with smiles,
Ere we had left our fathers door
To 20 the many weary milesl
There by the broad. deep fireplace sit
The aged ones with silyered hair;
Across each face the flashes fit
And faded cheeks grow flushed and fair.
And strangely mingle smile and tear
AS memory In fondness brings
The old, old days the while they hear
The low. sweet song the kettle sings
The embers throw their ruddy CLEAN
On childish figures blithe and free
That watch the changing glow, and dream
or wondrous things that are 10 be.
The future one glad chime Of BELLS
or golden bells. hope ever rings,
And through their music strangely wells
The low, sweet song the kettle sings.
Oh, all the joys my heart has known
And AL the hopes OF those 10 be
Within the kettles gentle tone
On gracious wings are borne 10 me,
And gladness which my care beguiles
Comes bubbling up from youthful springs,
And whispers from tho peaceful isles
Arc In the song the kettle sings.
