"GO IT ALONE."
I=
There's a game much in fashion, T think its
called euchre,
Though I never played it for pleasure or lucre,
In which, when cards are in certain condi-
tions,
The players appear to have changed positions,
And one of them cries, in a confident tone—
" I think I might venture to go it alone."
While watching a game, 'tie a whim of the
. .
bard's,
A moral to draw (ran the skirmish in eards,
And to fancy he finds in the trivial strife
Some excellent hints for the battle of Life,
Where, whether the prize be a ribbon or
throne,
The winner is he who can "go it alone."
When great Gallileo proelaimed that the
world
In a regular orbit was ceasiugly whirled,
And got—not a convert for all of his pains,
But only derision, and prison, and chains—
"lt moves for all that," was his answariug
tone,
For he knew,- like the earth, he could "go it
alone."
When Kepler, with intellect piercing afar, ;
Discovered the laws of each planet and star,
And doctors who ought to have lauded his
name
Derided his learning and blackened his fame—
" I can wait," be replied, "till the truth you
shall own,"
For he felt in his heart be could "go it alone."
Alas ! for the player who idly depends
In the struggle of life upon kindred and
friends,
Whatever the value of blessings like these,
They can never atone for inglorious ease,
Nor comfort the coward who finds, with a
groan,
That hits crutches have left him to "go it
alone."
There is something, no doubt, in the hand you
may hold—
ealth, family, culture, wit, beauty and gold
Ls each, in it's way, a most excellent card—
Yet the game may be lost, with all these for
your own,
Unless you've the courage to "go it alone."
In battle or business, whatever the game ;
In law or in love it is always the same ;
In the struggle for power, or scrabble for poll',
Let this be your motto: " Rely on yourself :"
For whether the prize be ribbon or throne,
The victor is he who can "go it alone."

THE DAUGHTER IN LAW.
"I never, never will tbrgive him," said
old Mr, Remington, solemnly depositing
his great gold spectacles in their green
leather ease.
".Nor 1, either," sobbed Mrs. Reining
ton, heedless of the unwonted disorder of
her cap strings. "To marry that bold,
dashing city girl without so much as writ
ing our permission."
"But you know, my dear," suggested
the old gentleman, "we shouldn't have
given it to him if he had waited half a
century."
"Certainly we should not," said Mrs.
Remington, most emphatically. "To
think of our only child treating us so
cavalierly, Abel, the only one we have got
iu the world."
"He has made his bed, and must lie on
it," said the old man, sternly. "I will
never receive his gay city bride here, and
so I shall write to him immediately. We
are scarcely tine enough for a Fifth Aven
ue daughter-in-law.
As he spoke, the old man picked up a
crumpled letter that had been thrown on
the door in the first paroxism of his au
ger, and smoothed out its folds with a
mechanical touch.
" Why, only think of it, Abel," said
Mrs. Remington, •`biahaia Buckley served
for six weeks in this—this girl's cousin's
family, and she says Evelyn Sayre could
smoke a little paper cigar just like a man,
and used to go skating with her dress all
tacked up to the top of her boots, and
drove a barouche with the groom sitting
behind—and— "
"Bless my soul !" interrupted the old
gentleman, his hreath nearly taken away
by the catalogue of enormities, " Bless
my soul, yon don't say so. And our
Charles married to such an amazon as
this."
So the couple sat in the roomy porch of
the capacious old farm-house, with the
Michigan roses tossing little billet don*
into their laps in scented showers, and the
delicious oilers of the fresh mown hay
coming up from the meadow flats by the
river, as miserable an old couple as you
would want to atm
Meanwhile, Mtn. Charles Remington, a
bride of three week's standing, was making
herself happy at Niagara. She sat on a
fallen log among the delicious shade and
seclusion of Goat Island that bright June
day with the lights and shadows chasing
each other across her lovely face, and
turning her long chestnut curls to coils of
gold. Dressed all in white, she was fast
ening a wreathe of wild flowers into the
ribbon of her coquettish little hat and
sin_ging some old ballads softly to herself.
Evelyn Remington was very handsome
—neither blonde nor brunette, she con
trived to unl !harms of both in her
rose-leaf Contiflbsthe, bright hair• and
misty-brown eyes,' and the smiles that
dimpled heir fresh scarlet lips were mes
sengers straight from the heart. ..
Presently she was Joined by her husband
tall, handsome young felleiv, in a
white !risen suit and grateful hat.
• :'"7lettere ; Evelyn," he said, lightly;
"a -wave in both."
" ; news? Oh, Charles !" and the
mem sudden ty away ftem the bride's
cheeks.•
" Weil, not so very bad, and yet not
pleasant. Rend."

Jiir his widon• and his orphan, to do all which may
achieve and cherish a just and a lasting peace
among ourselves and with all nations."—A. L.
)Al, JANITARY 4, 1869.
Ile tossed into her lap a written
letter, on on e page of NW. paper. Signed
"Abel and Nlary Remington, — a keen ex
pression of cheir disapproval of the mar
riage he had contracted. and ;in assertion
of their determination never to receive his
wife as their daughter.
Evelyn looked into her husband's thee
with her bright eyes full of tears.
"Oh, Charles, I am sorry."
Ile laughed and quoted to her the old
scripture phrase:
"A man shall leave his father and
mother and cleave unto his wife.''
" And now don't you want to see the
other letter, Evelyn?"
It 'was a summons from the mercantile
firm with which Charles Remington was
connected, an earnest entreaty that he
would visit Central America in their in
terest immediately.
'' Cool, isn't it, to request a bridegroom
to walk off in that sort of a way? for it is
too rough a voyage to ask you to share it,
dearest. I have it for you to decide--
shall I go or stay?"
"(10. by all means. Should I ask you
to linger by my side when duty calls you
away, a poor wife I should be."
Ire kissed her flushed cheeks with ad
miring tenderness.
And where shall I leave you, my bon
nie bride?"
" Oh, I will make a brief visit home in
the meantime. It cuts our wedding tour
short, but then, you know, we have a life
time to finish our honevinoon in.,'
So the brief Niagara sojourn came to an
end, and Mrs. Remington, for the season,
was a widowed bride.
" He will be back soon," she said to
herself, "and in the meanwhile, oh, 1.
must do so much."
"Yes," said old Mrs. Remington, com
placently, " I think that was a splendid
idea of yours, Abel, sending tar Lot
Chauncey's orphan to adopt. It'll teach
Charles and his stuck-rip with that we are
in earnest about what We wrote, and Ma
ritsa Chauncey won't have no city airs nor
graces. I'm dreadfully anxious to see
her. Lot was a likely looking fellow, and
folks did say his wife was a regular beau
ty. I guess likely shell conic by the stage
to-night.''
" I guess likely there she is now, - said
Abel, who, sitting by the open window,
eitught the first I:tit - nose of a slender figure
eoming up the pith, and carrying a WVII-
packed carpet-bag; and Mrs. Remington
ran forward to kiss and welcome the new
comer.
Marian Chauncey was exceedingly pret
ty--Mrs. Remington soon discovered that
--a bright little winsome creature, with
cold brown hair that would curl in spite
Of the restraining net, loving hazel eyes
and tremulous red lips.
Oh, A ls.} !" quoth the soft hearted old
won►an, at the end of two days. " why
did'nt Charles wait until he had seen Ma
rian Chauncey? Is she not sweet—don't
it sera► like a gleam of sunshine in the old
house when she is tripping around?"
She is very pretty," said Mr. Ren►ing
ton.
And then,'' pursued the old lady,
"she's so handy. She knows just where
everything is kept, and how to do every
thing, and she does my caps up exquisite
ly, and you should have seen how skil
fully she drove me to meeting yesterday.
Oh, Abel, if Providence had only seen lit
to send us a daughter-in-law Like dear
little Marian Chauncey."
Mrs. Remington's speech was cut pre
maturely short by the entrance of the sub
;feet of it, with her apron full of wild
flowers.
" Mrs. Remington," she began, and
then checking herself with abruptness,
"Oh, I cannot call you that long, formal
name; may I. say mother?"
" Of course you may, my darling," said
the enthusiastic old lady. " I only wish
you were my real daughter."
Marian laid down her flowers, and de
posittsl her pearly white eggs in a basket
on the table, and then came up to Mrs.
Remington, kneeling down and nestling
her bright head in the old lady's cheek
apron.
" Mother," she murmured, softly, "you
do not know how sweet the word sounds.
And will you alwayalove me, and cherish
me, let me be a real daughter to you?"
" I should be a liard hearted Old cormo
rant if I ditllnt, pet," said the old lady,
her spectacles dimmed with tears.
In short, Marian Chauncey became the
light of the farm house; the bright little
guardian genius of its coiled rooms and
wide, airy halls. She read the paper to
farmer Remington; she compounded cake,
jelly and syllabubs to the astonishment
dud delight of the old lady; she kept the
two old china vows on the mantel brim
ming.over with a rain of roses; she knew
by instinct just when to darken the room
tor the old man's afternoon nap on the
chintz sofa, and she was better than any
one on his bad nervous headaches.,
I really - don't; see how we ever con
trived to live without Marian," said the
old gentleman.
" - Ilut she shall never leave us," said
Mrs. Remington, distidedly.
"Marian • little bright eyes, I've got

"When wiil he be here, sir ?"

about an hour I should
. judge, from
his letter—Charley always did write 7 a
scrawl-- m's and n's halt' alike and halt'
the time forpets to (Toss his I's. but I
suppose that's the style now-a-days."
Marian Chauncey crept away to her
room to brush out the red gold curls and
adjust the blue ribbon at the thought, and
wondered slyly to herself what Charley
would say when he saw the new element
that had contrived so to interweave itself
into the old home of his childhood.
But I don't lx , lieve he will he angry;"
said Marian in a half whisper, as she
placed a rose in her breast, and prepared
to descend in obedience to) Mrs. Reming
ton's call of--
"Marian, Marian, come dovirn and see
my boy."
Charles Remington stood in the middle
of the floor with an arm around his radi
ant little mother. while the old gentleman,
from his large aria chair, delightedly
watched over the tableau as Marian slowly
advanced.
"Charles,'' said Mr. Remington; "this
is our new (laughter who—''
But Charlie had sprung forward and
caught the slight, willing figure in his
arms, while the golden hair floated in a
perfect cascade of curls over his shoulder.
" Evelyn ! My !"
Mr. Remington stared at his wife. Mrs.
Remington stared at her husband.
lie's mad," whispered the old man.
"('harles," he added. aloud, "you are
mistaken; this is Marian Chauncey, our
adopted daughter."
••.No, sir, it is not," titltered the young
lady in question, '• I am Evelyn your

•• And you knew nothing of this ?" de
manded old Mr. Remington of his son.
Not a wta•d: it's Evelyn's own idea."
And Evelyn, half laughing, halfcrying,
stole into her mother-m-law's extended
arms.
