The Homespun Dress.
Oh, yes, I am southern girl,
| glory in the name,
And boast it with far greater pride
Than gli;tering wealth or fame.
envy not the northern girl,
Her robes of beauty rare;
| Though diamonds grace her snowy neck
And pearls hedeck her hair.
CHORUS.
Hurrah! hurrah for the sunny South SO
dear;
Three cheers for the homespun dress the
southern ladies wear.
This homespun dress is plain, know,
My hats palmetto, too,
But, then, it shows what southern girls
For southern rights will do.
We've sent the bravest of our land
To battle with the foe,
And we would lend helping hand;
We love the South, you know.
tti CHORUS.
Now northern goods are out of date,
. And since old Abe's blockade,
We southern girls can be content
With goods that's southern made.
We scorn to wear bit of silk,
A bit of northern lace;
But make our homespun dresses up,
And wear them with much grace.
CHORUS.
The southern lands glorious land,
And hers a glorious cause;
Then here's three cheers for southern rights,
And for the southern boys.
We've sent our sweethearts to the wars,
But, dear girls mover mind,
Your soldier love will not forget
The girl no left behind.
CHORUS.
Hurrah hurrah for the sunny South so
dear;
Three cheers for the sword and plume the
southern soldiers wear.
soldier is tho lad for me,
A brave heart I adore;
And when the sunny South is free,
And fighting is no more,
I'll choose me thcn lover brave
From out that gallant band;
The soldier lad I love the best
Shall have my heart and hand.
And now, young men, word to you,
If you would win the fair
Go 10 the field where honor calls,
And win your lady there.
Remember that our brightest smiles
Are for the true and brave,
And that our tears fall for the one
Who fills the soldiers grave

GAN is Vanity"

BY the way there are no ends Of
books on poker and how to play the
game. II | were compiler 1 have
often thought | would collect all
the stories OF the game and make a
volume OF them. | offer the sug-
gestion to the industrious and the
curious in current history. But
books teach you little, and even ex-
perience does not bring the game
within scientific lines. You can't
play poker as you can whist, and
know what cards are out. The fun
OF the game is that you play it on
your own hook; you have no part
ner to worry you. If you make
mist AXE tho peril and the loss are
your own. Even the most skilful
player at whist is fain to con 'ess that
cards win the trick; but at poker
the big hand is often the greatest
danger, tempting its holder to back
it against better that he knows not
OF. There are plenty OF lessons of
life in poker-sometimes you may
get lesson that lasts you for life,
as was the case with the Mississippi
traveller and his pretty daughter.
when you know how to live" says
philosophy, sit is time to die" SINH
larry it may be said Of power that by
the time you begin to understand it
you are broke, or to quote the cyni-
cal poet;
He stuck to poker zealously,
And grief it is to say it,
When he knew all about it he
Had naught with which to play it.

II one may be permitted at the
moment to speak of any other game
t han cricket or any other pastme
than cycling, have just come across
little poker story told by the late
William Florence, one OF the most
breezy of American actors and most
generous oi men. He wrote book
on poker, you know, that was pub
Iishtd by Messrs. Routledge, very
bright and clever contribution to a
very entertaining and exciting game
Of card,-a development, | believe,
Of the English game Of brag, and
il so development that is compli
mentary to the genius Of our Ameri-
eau cousins. 1t was introduced TO
England by the late Gen. Schenk,
aud was popular for years in the de-
lightful days OF the Countess Of
Waldegrave at Strawberry Hill be-
fore it took its place in general
way at English card tables. 1t is q
simple story, but quite as good al
some novels, and it has the advan-
tage OF being true. Sylvester Shively,
who died at Scranton, Pennsylvania.
was college bred man and
gambler. He won his vile through
