You have played at cards, perhaps,
And have watched the players faces,
When they sorted in their laps
Kings and queens and blissful aces.
You have noticed, as one must
While they held or else discarded,
All the looks of dark distrust
With which each the rest regarded.
Even such a game we play,
While youths roses we importune.
And we hide our hands today,
Bent on stealing the others fortune.
You know not the hand hold.
You your cards as closely cover,
And the game-is very old,
For the first gambler was lover,
You are not quite certain whether
By some fraud l may not win;
But we have met to play together,
Deal the cards. and so begin.
What from thought of loss you shrink
There shall be no loser, surely?
This is not a game you think,
And judge you very poorly.
Then the tears-ah, well, between a
Logical and tender mind,
We must solace Wilhelmena
With some quibble of O kind.

With distrust IN all our fances-
Nay. deny it not, say,

And Well play with nothing hidden.

THE SILVER LINING,

Tho troubles come to mar our lives
And fill our hearts with sadness
There's silver lining to each cloud.
That will bring US Joy and gladness:
Iho tnorns are strewn along the way,
As DER LIES path We journey.
There are roses, too, with fragrance sweet.
That we may gather, cen tho thorny.
To-day dark clouds o'ercast the sky,
Where Yesterdays sun was shining:
Tomorrow may be bright and fair,
All beauteouS nature smiling:
E'en tho our lives are filled with gloom.
Why should we sit repining?
For when the clouds shall disappear
Wen find the "silver lining"
And should misfortune come to wreck
Your barque, while outward sailing
Upon the sea of lie, so broad,
Regrets will then prove unavailing:
Though day-dreams are unrealized.
Weep not DER fond hopes Shattered
The silver lining" you will find
Through deeds of kindness scattered.
This world for us has many charms
Tho sorrows round us gather,
And if we try, in place of grief
Wen find much joy and pleasure:
Then let us cast aside dull care,
And cease each vain repining-
Tho, dark and lowering are lifes clouds,
Each has "silver lining"

There is glib-tongued raven, the pride
of certain otherwise delightful, old
fashioned inn beside Covent Garden,
London, much frequented by Americans,
against which many of us who have suf-
fered from its ill-timed speculations and
maledictionS possess feelings far from a
benign and friendly character.
The morning after my first arrival at
this hostelry | wished to take an early
train for Brighton, and as no one, save
costermongers and market porters. is
astir in London before or O'Clock,
was compelled to awaken and get away
without the pleasant formality of being
called. Anxious to not miss my train /
hastily descended to the office-hoor.
Here l found the street-door ajar, but the
dming-room, the office, the reading-room
and, apparently, all the minor offices
were still closed and dark, and no servant
whatever could then be summoned bv
call of voice or bell.
The idea of leaving the hotel without
reporting the fact worried me. I began
tiptoeing about in quest of somebody.
This of itself impelled feeling of guilt
and dread. | was late, but it occurred to
me that must take along my umbrella.

leading to the dining-room. 1 somehow

umbrella stand. / fairly trembled lest

handle when this fairly shrieked demand
rang out beside me:
"Who are you? who are you? who are
you?'
1chabod Crane when pursued by the
Headless Horseman never flew over old
Pocantico bridge faster, and startled and
dlsmayed plunged out of the place and
into the clutches OF d Southampton-street
police officer. Explanations followed; I
missed my train, but was formally intro
duced to the gleefully malignant raven,
whose station was in the hallway, where
at night its cage was covered with some
travellers handy rug.
That is strange principle of human
nature which finds mitigation OF our own
humiliation in the embarrassment of 9TH
ers, but the same evening / almost for
gave the vicious bird for selecting as an
other victim one of those particularly ag-
gravating American females who prance
and scold about the world as professional
'agltators." The lady was big and broad
and pompo1s-a familiar figure, | am
told, in the New England States. Wher-
ever she moved she proceeded in series
OF stately pauses and snorts as if to say
pause that you may have opportunity
to fully realize who l amp
She was passing in this manner through
the hallway to the dining-room. The
raven was evidently impressed and Curl
GUS. He promptly shouted, almost in
her ears,
Who are you? who are You? who are
you?'
The agitator was agitated. Trembling
from rage she wheeled and Shouted back
to the office force and tittering guests:
"Wno am l? Bless me, rybody
outside of this disgraceful country knows
who | am. This is an outrage. I shall
see Minister Lincoln about it," Then
she majestically snorted herself in to
dinner.
An irresistible but repressed outburst
of laughter followed the contretemps. AS
it died away noticed the raven craning
its neck to this side and that, and blink
ing. demurely. Then it gave its ugly
beak few smart raps with its claws,
sent an unearthly whistle after my dis
appearing countrywoman, and, as it
finally settled itself for bit OF quiet re-

and ruminatively:
