MY PARTNER.
Hull often at my cosy club'
I take my claret and my joint, And then say a friendly rub
At silver threepennies the point. My partner is a ghastly man,
With awful knowledge of the game; And-play as deftly as I can
He treats my efforts all the same.
I lead a trump, no matter why-
We lose the trick, no matter how; I feel the fury of his eye,
And see the scowl upon his brow. I give a shrug, as if to say,
Twas purely an affair of chance; He coughs in quite a quiet way-
But, oh, the lightning of his glance!
Perchance I play a lively king,
When swiftly on the monarch's face (Before I dream of such a thing) My bold opponent pute au 266. The luck is theirs, and anch a tide
Is quite impossible to stom; My partner turns his head aside,
And mournfully observes, "Ahem!"
At length I gradually lose
All sense of what we are about; With little time to pick or choose,
I play a card when twelve are out.
I know it's utterly absurd,
And frankly feel we cannot win;
My partner never says a word,
But kicks me hard upon the shin.
What matters that? One little graze
Will only last a week or so; And what are six or seven days**
Of poultising to undergo?
But, when I wildly dash away,
More desperately than before, My partner swears he 'll never play
With such an idiot any more. Henry S. Leigh,

Had he lived till now examples would have multiplied upon him. He would have found the physicists divided into three classes as a rale; the first who say, "You must no sky there is a God because you must assume nothing, and as yet we have not found Him in our orutibles; you must not pray, because as yet we have discovered no medium on which prayer can travel." The second, which accepts all the extreme vagaries of modern science, but not liking altogether to break from Christianity, says: "God has given over revealing Him wolf, or in any way interfering in His world; no miracle is possible now; for about fifty. years, eighteen centuries ago, they were plentiful enough." The third, who boldly proclaims that science has annihilated the Bible and Christianity, and then takes his great intellect and his vaunted science and lays them reverently at the feet of a Yankeo Medium.

BIG DISCOVERIES IN SCIENCE. "I've been doing something in the way of science lately," said the professor, put- ting his legs on the table in Colonel Bang's sanctum, while that great journalist was trying to write an editorial.

"O, wall! I don't care what you've been doing," said the colonel, not looking up.
Yes, sir, that's where I'm at home; in the realms of actence. I breathe my native air there."
"I wish you'd breathe some better air than the kind you're breathing on me now," snapped the colonel.
