Mrs. Barboci.ii. Is Old Slodge a Game of Chance ? A ovel case in jurisprudence re cently armsc in New Hampshire. The scatutus of Unit State make it a mis demeanor to engage in playing games of chance i r money In one of the smaller towns, a • disposition had arisen, among the inoje staid and se verely resocc’able portion of the in habitants, to enforce this law, which had become practically a dead letter, and it was determined to make an ex ample of two young men, delected while engaged in the game of Seven Up. They were, accordingly, duly indicted, and all preparations made for a speedy trial a>d conviction. Bob M , —, a rising young limb of the law, had undertaken the defence. Bob was ;a general favorite in the town, and had the repntati >n of never having lost a case. But here was a poser. The facts were too evident and too easily proven to be denied, the law was plain, and success nppear edhop' less. His intimate friends en deavored to prevail upon him to aban don the defence, representing that it would be a pity to spoil his record, which was now so good, by underta king a case in which he could not help the prisoners, and v! ich could only result in failure’ But Bab, con fident in his own resources, was firm in his refusal. The case came on, and, having ex cited much comment, a great throng of interested spectators was in atten dance, composed of the supporters and opponents of card-playing. When the prisoners were arraigned, Bob stated that Ins clients admitted that they had played the game of Seven Up, and that one of them had won and tne other lost the sum of two dollars, t s charged against thorn, but that they denied that Seven Up was a game of chance. The p: scouting officer smiled, and the judge pooh-poohed the idea; bul Bub was not to be put down. The fact, h said, must be proven, like arty other fact; the rights of his clients were not to be trifled with. Seven Up was a game of skill, aud not a game of chance. The judge endeavored to ridicule him out of his position, but Bob was not to be moved so. Deacon Mudgett was called to the stand, and testified that the sinful game of Seven Up was, undoubtedly, and beyond all peradventure, a game of chance. Bob, however, was ready with a cloud of witnesses to show it to be a game of skill. The case, he said, if tried in this way, would consume the whole term of the court; that no other business cmild be taken up; that, as the circumstances were peculiar, and ns it was almost night, lie would sug gest that the question be submitted to a struck jury, composed one-half of those holding Seven up to be a game of chance, ..nd one-half of those be lieving in the skill theory. Th c court and prosecution assented and the jury was selected. Deacon Mudgett, foreman, Parson Brown, Deacons Wnkitts, Bagiev, Smith and Slocum, all chance men, and six old votaries of the game. Cards and can ule.s were supplied, and the jury re tired, leaving the audience with num bers undimiuished, and interest una bated. At the end of half an hour a mes sage wtis received from the jury-room: Deacon Mudgett desired to borrow three dollars fiom a friend. (Applause in court.) Shortly thereafter, Parson Brown requested the loan of a small stake fram the Judge—(groans among the chance men) —and at the end of three hours the jury returned with a verdict, read by Deac >ll Mudgett, which we give verbatim: “We, the jury empann led in this case, do unanimously agree, that the game known as Seven Up, lsdist nctly and emphatically, a game of skill, and not a game of chance; in witness whereof, we show that during the evening the six chance men have nev er won a game, and never turned a Jack; and furthermore, that all the money and other personal valuables, lately in possession of the chance men tire now owned by the opposition par tv; and we further certify, that the dOctrn e that said game of S*veuUp is a game of chauce, is false aud per nicious, and calculated to inflict great pecuniary loss in any community tha takes stock in it.” In a Dublin newspaper ap peared the following: “A number of i t 1 .>'.qi'oi lqbt” postponed ” Flirting. It is delicious fun ! There is an ex citement and pleasure to be found in it, very, very tempting, indeed ! It ap pears innocent —as innocent as eating peaches and grapes But it is a dissi pation. Like wine-drinking, card playing, liorse-racing, and similar dis sipations, it has its dangers. One writer, speaking of it as an amuse ment, says, “the only caution to he observed is, not to go too far.” So we might say of those other “amusements.” The sweet and exil erating glass of wine; for that may be good as medicine, but there never was and never will be good in flirting. A vivacious essayist, trying to define it, says : “It is more serious than talking nonsense and not so serious as mak ing love; it is not chaff and it is not feeling; it means something more than indifference, and yet something less titan affection; it blinds no one; it commits no or>e; it only raises expec tations in the individual, and sets so ciety on the lookout for results; it is a plaything in the hands of the expe rienced, but a deadly weapon against the breast of the unwary; and is a tiling so vague, so protean, that the most accurate measurer of moral val ues would be puzzled to say where it exactly ends, and w here serious inteu tio is begin.” , Ah, but that’s not the whole story. Young people cannot indulge in this fascinating amusement and keep the bloom on the fruit. We would not give much for the moral delicacy and purity of a flirt. Now for her truth: You cannot flirt without being guilty of white lies, of deceits innumerable, of false looks and tones, subtle smiles and twists of the mouth and glances of the eye —all —lies— deceptions. Now, if the successful practice of deception be an amusement worthy of the attention of high minded young ladies and gentlemen, the exciting game may he played without discred it. But who would wish to take for a life.partuer, one so full of guile as a successful flirt must be? The check that has blushed, the eye that has lingered, the baud that has fondled, the lip that has whispered, for amuse ment, is not to be trusted iu the solemn earnest of long life reality. Besides, who shall guarantee that these bewitching dissipations never were carried “too far!” When you marry don’t marry a flirt— male or f male. How to Grow Fat If any one wishes to grow fleshy, a pint of milk taken before retiring at night will soon cover the scrawniest bones, Although now-a-dajs we see a great many fleshy females, there are many lean and lank out s who sigh for the fashionable measure of plumpness, and who would be vastly improved in health aud appearance could their fig ures be rounded with good solid flesh. Nothing is more coveted by thin wo men than a full figure, and nothing will so arouse the ire and provoke the scandal of one of those “clipper builds” as the consciousness of plump ness in a rival. In cases of fever and summer complaints, milk is now given with excellent results. The idea that milk is “feverish” has exploded, and ts now the physicians great reliance in bringing through typhoid patients, or those in too low a state to be nourished by solid food. It is a mis take to scrimp the milk pitcher. Take more milk and buy less meat. Look to your milkman, have large sized, well-filled milk pitchers ou the table each m til, and you will also have rot u ! flesh and light doctor’s bills. Rules for Poor Farming. Oue of the roads to poor farming is well traveled but not generally ac knowledged—invest all your capital for land aud go in debt for more. Hire money at a heavy interest to run the farm; have very little faith in farming, and always be ready to sell out; buy the cheapest and poorest kind of stock and farming machinery, feed poor grain and hay to your stock and you will have less repairs to make on your rickety fences and farm ma chinery, as tine horses and fat stock make sad havoc with the old wagon, plow, cart aud fences. Use the oil of hickory whenever your oxen need strength; it is cheaper than high feed ing, keeps the hair lively, and pounds out the grubs. Never waste time by sitting out fruit or shade trees, as leaves rotting around a place makes it unhealthy. Sell the best calves, lambs and stoats to the butchers as they will brim* a little more, and the thin and p or ones will do well rponorJl to keep. 82.50 A YEAR English Women. An American lady in London, who has seen too much or too little of her English sisters, propounds the follow ing conundrums: Why is it that English women seem born to a heritage of mammoth feet and thick ankles, its naturally as a baby elephant ? Why is that the fe male Briton has such an inextinguish able lust for white lace that she deco rates herself with it, even in the street, as lavishly as the boiled limb of a defunct porker is decorated with white tissue-paper at a banquet of the city fathers? Why does she wear feathers in a mourning-hat, crowning all t he crape symbolism of woe, as bri dal favors would enliven a hearse? Why does she wear gaiteis so low that her ankles bulge over the tops of her boots, like the capitals of Doric pil lars ? Why does she drape those pil lars in dingy gray, instead of the pure white that her American sisters con sider a prime essential of decency ? Why do even young girls, richly dres sed in velvet, looped and puffed over pretty quilted satin peticoats, encase their ample feet in these same gray stockings? Why hasn’t the average wofnen of the English middle class grace? Why hasn’t she beauty? Why hasn’t she taste ? Why hasn’t she the dimmest shadow of a shade of that je, ne sais quo, the aerial dainti* ness of charm, of the French and American woman wl ich is as ilusive to the searcher after the secret as is the mystery of life to the physiologist ? Cremation in Siam. A writer says: “During a residence of several years in Siam I neither saw or heard of a single burial in that country, nor did I meet with more than three Siamese tombs. They were the ‘Tombs id' the Three Kings.’ said to be centuries old, and all that, I could learn of their history was that beneath those gorgeous mou unfin ts of black granite, exquisitely chisled and adorned with mosaics in gold, silver, copper, ebony, and ivory, reposed the ashes of the three famous warrior kings wiio had ordered the bodies to bo buried instead of burned, in order that the singularity of the circum stance might keep the memory of their virtues and bravery ever fresh in the hearts of their subjects. Burning is now, and has been for centuries, the universal custom in Siam- preferred, it is supposed, because of the facility it affords for removing the precious dust of the loved and lost. In old aristocratic houses I have seen ar ranged in the family receptacle mas sive golden urns containing the ashes of eight, ten, or twelve generations of ancestors; and these are cherished as precious heirlooms to descend thro’ the eldest male branch.” The Sailor’s Bride. A seafaring man, who was recently married, gave the following descrip tion of his bride and her apparel, which will put some of the regular “society” papers to the blush: My wife is just as handsome a craft as ever left the millinery dry-dock; is clipper built, aud with a figure-head not often seen ou small crafts. Her length of keel is five feet eight inches, displaces twenty-seven feet of cubic air; of light draught, which adds to her speed in a hail-storm; full in the waist, spars trim. At the time we were spliced she was newly rig ged, tore and aft, with standing rigging of lace and flowers, mainsail part silk, with forestaysail of Valen ciennes. Her frame was of the best of steel, covered with silk, whale-bone stanchion®. This rigging is inteded foi fair-weather cruising. She has al so a set of storm sails for rough weath er, aud is rigging out a small set of canvass for light stjualls, which are lik< ly to occur in this latitude sooner or later. lam told in running down the street before the wind she can turn around in her own length if a handsomer craft passes her. J®“Never try to poison a young heart. Never tell it of all life’s sor rows and crimes before experience has come with its cruel teaching. Too soon we all roust learn that goodness dwells not in every man, and that there is treachery and duplicity in many a heart; but let th se fresh enough, pure enough, sweet enough to believe in angels, keep their faith as long as possible. Let them /be happy, too. Never darken their lives with sad revelations. We are none of us free from care too long. If all men are not models of innocence, what good will it do the boy to know it? If all men are not faithful lovers and husbands why force the truth up on a oving girl ? The very know ledge of crime sometimes sullies the soul. The longer one is kept iguo ! rant of it, the more likely is that one 1 to be permanently good and innocent.
