CIRCA 4101:1111VV•
BY JOHN O. ruccmiy.
How I rue the day when I played croquet!
Tbat game with the tape of wire,
With the fancy mauls, and the roiling balls,
Lost me my heart's desire.
I'm beat by a blonde, that festive
Called ,witching Jenny Lake, •
Who wore more striped on ber balmoral
Thai shone on the painted stake.
She played coquet With a winning way,
Thia damsel young and fair; -
With a smile'sd cute, and a high-heeled boot,
'•-• And a rasa in her floating hair;
Such thrills of song, and suds bursts of mirth,
All for my own sweet sake,
Tillought a rainbow touched the earth
e she stood by the painted stake. '
I fell In lova like a turtledove,
And cooed and wooed her well;
But I fell in bate at her croquet mate, . .
And called - him a cheeky swell,
If he had not been, what did ho mean
Such a liberty to take
As to steal a lass, and insult the miss
Till she blushed like the painted slake.
, •
Alt l the game's all, up, - and my bitter cup
Is filled by a llownlng tate; '
For at church to-day, so the papers say,
Li:Lin:um I hate_ -
For that beaming blonde In the balmoral,
For treacherous Jenny Lake,

I had not been in the ,tiest_of- spirits
that day, for it was : . the time. _when we
dreaded every,hour to hear the bombrwil

into a doze, when there came a light step
'along the hall, and conga -Grace in a
'strange, scared voice, outside the door:

she stood, looking like a spirit. with her
ashy face, and fair hair fulling about her;
and I remember the thrill of , astonish

,every limb, or that Thomas Oakley and
, his live stalwart scais, looked pale; as they
moved about in.the dim morning light.
I don't know that I have spoken to you
before of Thomas Oakley a man of over

:might have been chiseled out of marble,

' As for his sons, they were like , him—
'tall; strong-limbed, fearless, devoutly at

preparing bleakfast. while they fastened

the shutters of the heivydoorti.
"It's a abeam Co route you out So early.

pale, frightened , face; "but if . we did'ilt

It was not to be expected that we could

and steafiug along the woods to the right

'" Aim - at yonder tree," shouted Mr.
Oakley; "I saw the gleam of a rifle stock

A third shot wizzed so close past ns as
to make us start back, and then our un
erring rifles answered back and down
through the bush went a dark body strik

"He is silent," exclaimed Mr. Oakley'
with a gleam of sterit'satisfaction shoot

Here there wasa silence of longer dura

were at loss to know whether they had

A fierce yell and a harmless volley from
those in ambush, received this new defeat
and then another of those ominous paus
es.
"What can they be about?'' uttered
Simon who was again at the lookout.
"Theyare pulling up hay and brush wood.
They surely do not dream of firing the
house ?" •
"The door, the doer!" gasped Grace.
" Right rexclaiffied the father. "We must
barricade the hall." •
Never mind the shutters , said, Mrs.
Oakley who had regained her marble com

Mr. Oakley hesitatOd for the task. was
one of •tlanger,.bnt tivre was no time and
chairs,- tables'and sofa were piled up et ,a
short distance : from the door, and was
really a' formidable barricade, guarded as
it was bypor unerring rifles. The 'smell
of the burning wood and the smoke that
tilled the hall now grew almost intolera
ble. Mr. Oakley placed us on the stair
wise and exhorted his sons to stand close,
and take good aim: A portion of the
door fell in. Mr. Oakley' raised his ride,
and Walter Van Culler, who was the first
to spring in, staggered and fell back with
a groan; the others swarmed in like bees,
but a second.atid a third of these deadly
volleys brought . them to a stand. No

Pleasure Before Duty.
, .
'lf there ever was :a doubtof.Grant's af
fection for his relations—though in .view
, of; the manner in which he has quartered
them upon the country since he became
President there contd hardly be any doubt
abbot it—his recent deelhiation to attend
the ceremony of unveiling 'a statute of
Abraham !Lincoln, at Fairmount Park,
on the 22d inst;,-must:tertainly4 remove
all tincertaintron the subjed. - In shit
big the reasons why- he Cannot be present
1 onEthe occasion, he says, "I am now on
- my way, with my family, to visit 'relations
'and friends among *horn 11 Was raised,
and whoni heft thirty-two years ago, and
Who have been adviso of my coming. I"
d&not see hew I can make a change now."'
Inorder to visit friends whom he- his not
visited for thirty odd years, though he was
"raised" among them, and whom he has
had ample opportunity to visit in all the
tong interval named , and may tisit any
tie he please.t.in:the neat decade, - be re

We fear that Grant's-patriotism- and , ap
preciation of patriots see no better than
his grammar:, which, wheriever be speaki
or*rites at any lengthi is absolutely ex
ecrable, Hsi says of Hr.-;Lincoln that
"there are no patriots, dead or alive, who
will be remembered snore gratefully / etc.,
uoi• none whom I more honor," etc. He
alio saps he is to-be "debarred the duty of

tunately,' Gran t places_ private engage-'
mente to relatives whom hulas neglected
for thirty-two years, before a- duty he owes
as a public than hi public opinion and ol
ligation, and l he urea abominable English
to excuse his dereliction. And let it not
be forgotten in this connection', that he
has been wasting the last three summers
in running around the cattle shows and
horse' rueesoind is now .frolicking at a
rich man's home in Pennsylvania, while
all public and otherwise 'wholly , unselfish
claims upon his time' have been.' utterly
postponed orignored. We think such a
man is a fraud. He has no--sympathy
