A Winter Evenings Entertainment.

Those who have sought to find an evenings en-
tertainment for young people know how difficult
is the task. The range of amusement is so limited
that in half a dozen evenings the entire round
has been exhausted. 1t is a service, then, to give
to the readers of The Cosmopolitan a form of en-
tertainment which, though familiar to some, will
doubtless be new to the greater number of those
who see it here; but, most important of all, has
the advantage of bringing into play, at the same
time. the analytical qualities of the mind, the
keenest human interest and the most profound
philosophical lessons.
A dozen people gathered together, or even a less
number. agree to pass by vote upon the character
istics of each. By lot the first victim is chosen,
and r~etires from the room. Slips of paper are
distributed to each of the guests with the follow
ing written or printed thereon:

cellence, two hundred and eighty points; dis

And 10, in the East Will the East unveil?
The East is unveiled, the East hath confessed
A flush: tits dead; tits alive; it's dead ere the West
Was aware of it: nay, tits abiding; tits unwith-
drawn:
Have a care, sweet Heaven! IT'S Dawn.
Now a dream of a fame through that dream of a
flush is uprolled:
To the zenith ascending, a dome of undazzling
gold
Is builded, in shape as a beehive, from out of the
The hive is of gold undazzling, but oh, the Bee,
The started Bee. the build-fre Bee,
OF dazzling gold is the great Sun-Bee
That shall flash from the hive-hole over the sea.
Yet now the dewdrop, now the morning gray,
Shall live their little lucid sober day
Ere with the sun their souls exhale away,
Now in each pettiest personal sphere of dew
The summed moon shines complete as in the blue
Big dewdrops of all heaven: with these lit shrines
Der silvered to the farthest sea-confnes,
The sacramento marsh one pious plain
OF worship lies. Peace to the ante-reign
Of Mary Morning, blissful mother mild,
Minded of nought but peace, and of a child.
Not slower than majesty moves, for a mean and
a measure
Of motion,-not faster than dateless Olympian
leisure
Might pace with unblown ample garments from
pleasure TO PLEASURE
The wave-serrate sea-rim sinks unjarring, unreel-

Forever revealing. revealing, revealing,
Edgewise. bladewise, halfwise, wholewise,-'t is

The woods and the marsh and the sea and my soul
Unto thee. whence the glittering stream of all

Cry good and past good and most heavenly NOR

Oh. never the most-high run of the seas
Of traffic shall hide thee.
Never the hell-colored smoke of the factories
Hide thee.
Never the reek of the times fen-politics
Hide thee,
And ever my heart through the night shall with
knowledge abide thee,
And ever. by day shall my spirit, as one that hath

Labor. at leisure. in art.-til yonder beside thee
Ny soul shall float. Friend Sun,
