CROQUET.
A painter must that poet be.
And lay with brightest hues his pallet,
Who'd be the bard of Croquet'rie.
And sing the Joys of hoop and mallet.
Given a level lawn in June,
And six or eight enthuslastle,
Who never mi-a their hoops ur spoon,
-And are on duffers moat sarcastic;
_
Given the girl whom you adore— -
• And given, too, that she's your aide on;
'Given ' a gmne not too soon o'er.
And ne'er.a bore the lawn espied on;
'Given a claret cup as coo •
, As ample Wenham Ice can make It;
Given a code whose every rule ,
Is so defined that none can break it;
Given a very fragrant weed— •
Given she doesn't mind your smoking; -
Given the players take no heed.
And most densetly keep from joking;
Given all these—and I proclaim,
Be' fortune friendly or capricious—
Whether,yon win or losethe game•-
' You•ll fine that Croquet is delicious.
UNCLE BUNCE.
"Be shall never have a penny," stormed
*Uncle Bunce ; "I will cut him off with a
shilling." .
tthly. dear Bunce," said I, "you have
alread) contradicted yourself, in first deny
ing him a penny, and then promising him
twelve. I never heard you contradict your:
self (although often other people) except
when in a passion, and that is not the frizne
of mind in which to sit down to alter your
"Mind your own business, sir, And leave
me to mh‘e,' : ' was the prompt and severe'
rejoinder. • •
"YoUr business is mine, Nicholas," con
tinned I, quietly, "since we are partners.
'We have been friends, boy and man, for
these forty - yeara,-and I am not going to per
mit you to quarrel with me."
"Who wants to quarrel ?" said Uncle
Bunce, peevishly. '
"Well, .1 don't; bit I would rather even
that should happen; than that my old friend
should do himself such an injustice as:to
condemn a young fellow, who has no other
relation In the:world, unheard : Your own
Sister's son, George .I I sin ashameti of you!"
"Unheard ? Pack of nonsense," sputtered
the'ld fellow.‘ "The thing's as plain as the
nose on your thee."
"Thank you," said I = "However, you
may say as offensive things as you please
about my nose, only don't be unjust to
Maley." • • „ -
:"I am not unjust:' The facti are' these.
I had adopted that boy, and meant to treat
him as my own , son. He has disgraced
hirimelf by betting, on a public race course, a
sum he , had no honest means of paying if
he lost,—a gambler, sir, and a cheat, that's
what he proved himself; and I'll have noth
. ing more to do with him."
"Yon had better inquire into the matter a
little further,. Mr.' Bunce," said I, with
some distlactmeas ,of 'Manner; for I liked
' Charley ution his Cowa account, as well as
because he : was the ,only relative of my
friend and partner, one of the -most ' sound
hearted and grossly prejudiced men within

betting; and even if he didn't bet, he was
onthe race come, and that is a place no
nephew of mine should showilis face and
remain my heir. There is a letter from oar

That, Uncle Bence withdrew himself into

might be some mitigating circumstances , —
for the fact as it stood looked blacker, it
seemed to me, than it 'aright to do, from,

bitter, for it was proof that he had been
wounded, sore, - dui unless he had dearly
loved the lad, Charley's conduct would not
have had the power to wound him. Now,
where there has once been Love, there:ls
alwaYs room for Reconciliation,. and as
soon as Uncle Bunco was round the corner
I took a hansom to .the Sword and Clun
'office., '
It had been arranged long ago that, on the
next evening, my partner and I should dine
together at the former's house, and we did
so. At one time, Charley-had -been asked,
but that was all over now, of course. Uncle
Bunce had not come to the city that day,
and it was evident, by his : earied and mel
ancholy manner, thathe had been occupied
in something distressing and- disagreeable;
indeed, I have no doubt 'that he had been
re-making. his — will. I- was not one whit
afritia of . the oldgentleman, , bat I was re
solved to put a g ood face upon the matter.
li ,
" 'our good , ealth, Nicholas," said I, as
he. ushed the claret to me. after dinner,
an Chariers good health."
ncle Bunce started as Al he had been
stun g. -
"I do not wish to have that young man's
name mentioned in my hearing," observed
ha. •
"After to-night you shall not hear it, un
less you please," said I; "but I must have
my say for this once. I told you I should
do so yesterday, and I promised him the
same last night. Then I shall have dis
charged my conscience; and if you choose
to let your nephew Fo to the dogs, it will be
through no omission of mine. I have
neither extenuation nor apology to make
for him"—
"I should think not," interposed Uncle
Bunco.
"Your thought is founded, however, upon
wrong premises, Nicholas. I . have neither
'to make f or him; simply because he. needs
none:" — • ' • .
"Needs none!" echoed the old, man, and
although hie tone was meant to be contemp—
tuous. I thought I detected in it an accent
of, hope.
"I mean what I assert, old friend," re
plied I, quietly. TKO lad has behaved, I
will not say 'as any other young man would
have behaved in the like circumstances,'; for
that phrase is often used to (lame an Ind's
cre, tion, but I will'aay this, and then have
done with it: He hart behaved as a true
gentleman, and (especially)'as a good man
of business in the whole matter." I held up
the wineglass between my eye and the light,
and smacked my lips like one who, havlng
relieved his mind, may now afford to enjoy
himself. , .
Uncle "'knee seemed to gasp for air:
"What the deucel—why, you're making a
fool of me," exclaimed he savagely. "Do
you mean to tell me he did not go down to
the Derby?',
"Of course he did. The government sent
him."
' "The—government—sent him:" repeated
my respected partner like one in a dream.
"Just so," said L "But don't let me
trouble you with the particulars of a subject
which I see is distasteful to you, and about
which you have quite made up your mind.
I have now performed my duty in the mat
ter, and there is an end of it. This isgood
wine. If it's no; secret, may I ask what did
you give for it a dozen ?"
"Fifty pounds, Fifty pounds to ten
against PalmyOa," muttered the old man.
Then : "It's all a lie, Coe, " cried he, sud
denly. "How dare you elk to me about

ton could not have avoided—but stop; first
answer me one thing. If Messrs. Bar and
Bullion bad offered you a holiday on the
Derby day, when you were a clerk in their
office, upon the condition that you would
go and see the Race, would you have ac
cepted it, or would yen not?"
"Well, I suppose I should," said Uncle
Bunce, reluctantly.
"No. you don't; you are' sure you would;
you'd have gone like a shot. 'Well, that
being granted, you and yciur nephew are in.

holiday on thezDerhy day to the clerks in

- I have mentioned; and all those who
availed theinselves of the offer, pledged
their words:to use the Opportunity as it was
intended to be used. If. Charley, having
obtained his day's leave, had not gone to
Epsom Downs. he would have behaved un
like a gentleman: Theo clear, I hope."
"The government ought to be ashamed
of themselves!" observed Uncle Bum.
"Very likely: but your nephew is not the
government, and 'although I hear from the
chief of his department inmost excellent ac
count of the young fellow, it is not likely
he ever will be. Thus, you see, 6 beginwith, so far from shirking his duties to go
to the Derby; Charley only Obeyed' orders,
—and, I have no doubt, with .great cheer
fulness. This is certainly excellent wine."'
"Did the government make him bet fifty
pounds to ten pounds against. Palmyra?, ' :
inquiredihe old gentleman grimly, after a
long silence. • .
"The Government didn't, but 'the bffice
didi" said I, "in this way. There - wit , a

government office; and Charley put s in his,

Wrong of him; but if you never did, worse,

and goingto the window that looked out
into, the quiet street, threw it up to ietin the
summer air. ' "Oome, come; you'll forgive
