you pretty strong, don't cry aud look

. hold up your hand uud make believe
'you are tlunh of trumps, nud they won 'i
p!ay so hard aiu you. I've lived
and travels 1 around somo, lloh, and
and I'vo found out that as soon us folks
thought you bell a weak hand, they'd
all buck o,'io you strong. So when
yoii'ro sort'r weak, keep a bold look
"but play cautious ; besati.sSel wilh a
point. Many s tho haaJ 1 vo seen em

Keep your eyes wall skinned, Hob ;
Jon't let them nig you ; recollect the
game lays as much with tho bead ns
with the hands. Ho tempera's, nover
get drunk, for then, no mutter how
good your hand, you won't know how
to play it; bulb bowers and tho see
wou'l save you ; for there's certain to
be a "miss deul" or something wrong.

Lbovo all, Hob, be honerH ; never take

look your man in tlia !aeo, and wheu
thni's tho case them's no fun in the

Thb SeCKET or it. An old farmer
being asked why his boys stayeJ at
home whoa others did not, replied
that it was owing to the fact that be
always tried to make home pleasant
to them, lie luroisueu them Willi
useful and attractive reading ; and
when night comes, and tho day's labor
is ended, instead of running witb other
boys to the railway station tad adjoin
ing towns, they gather around the
great lamp, and becomo absorbed iu
their books aod papers. Iis boys were
still st homo when the eldest boy was
twenty-one, while (hose who were
furnished with no rtading at homo
sought city life and city dissipation as
soon as they wero teveottee cr eighteeo.
