The man who failed An, get his-bill through the legislature was eating dinner. on JeffersOn avenue yesterday. Lie Felt bad,andrnad,ias he bad been at Lansing for a week•Or ten days.— Said lie to the colored waiter. - , • 4.1 0 -aug man, don't you over haye i nothing to do with the I,egislature." • ';-, "No, salt, I won't sah," was the reply. "Because, When, you think yOu'Ve got 'em. • . • you liain't germ at all." "•, ~ J ess 0, sah—jess like you ."think`. you. is, walkin' on de dock, when you is •in de ribber time." •.. , . • "l went down there to get - a-pine thnber'bill passed," continued the stranger, us he.oPened an other biscuit, "and Val $lO6 out , of pocket - and no bill." • "Jess so, salt. Dey wasn't , oti de pasf6vhen your bill came up.". ".No, blast 'em l I handed:Out the cigars by t h e thousand, talked soft and .sweeti sat up nights till my bones Itehed, : and.l. - tinally got a man interested. I talked - undi,he talked, and I: thouebt, that bill would scoot through. like a saw log going, over.a dam." . • . _ "Jes de same, sale ; but days whar you got left behind, I sponse!"— . .. "I don't know whether I. was lett behind or ahesd, mit I kept poking . the nian up, and he kept promising, and there I • was all the time paying outmoney as freely as a young fellow with his girl at' a chicken show." . . . . - . . ", '.million dollars don't las' no time 'tall arm : de balls of justis ',an' legislashun," sigh ed the.waiter as he pushed the sugar-bowl nearer. "Well ; yesterday morning the man came over to the hotel, face a yard long, and says he, `Mr. Shoat; your billhas • been killed,' and before I could recover from the cold chill' that crept over me he went on to tell me about commit tee of the whole, third reading, objected to,• titles and bodies, laid on the table, suspension of the rules, moves to reconsider, and a lot of other such stuff. "Yes, sah—dat's jess de wad de:y allus goes on sah. Ize beam' 'em,tell 'bout dat commit. tee of de hole, an' suspension of de table, ani layin' de bills on the window sill. ',used to live nex' doah to de legislashur, an' I knOws all 'bout 'em, salt." • : "Well, I couldu't do anything," wily . con. tinned the man. "They hitched, a dog act to one end of my a musk-rat law to the oth er, changed the title t 4 Act to FOund an Orphan Asylum: and rushed- it up and down and around till the dum thing got tiredout and couldn't - go any further. I've been post master and tr:wri litirarian, and I've laid out two ditches, and I've been deputy constable, and all that, but it didn't make any difference to them our there-not a bit." • r "Dit's a facVsah. I sometimes believe dat de higher up a man gits de lower &folks look down bn him." - "Well, they NM me out, but he even with 'em yet. I've got , a. chattel mortgage on one of our country newspapers t . and I'll go home and tell 'the editor he's got to bust into that crowd about four columns a' week or I'll forestall on him in a minit." ' • "Yes, sah—take the foreclosure on - him like you jess foreclose on dat biscuit. I 'predates de move, salt, an' Ize willite to do ,all I kin. -7 De bill is fifty cents—pay at the-desk." THE GAME OF LIFE. Man's life is a game oroards. First, it is , "cub-age." Next he tries to "go it alone," at , a sort of "eutothuffle, and deal" paoe. Then he "gambols on the green." Then he "raises" the "duce" when his mother' "takei a hand in," and, contrary to Hoyle, "beats the little joker" With her "five." , Then, with his "diamonds ° he "'Vas" the ‘"queen of hearts." Tired of "Playing a lone hand," . he expresses desire to "Ssis‘," his , fair "partner," "throwe out his etas," and the clergyman: takes a ten dollar bill out of him "on a pair." • She,;orders' him up" to build fires. Like a "knave" he, joins the "clubs," where he often gets 4 tigh," Which is . "low," too. If he keeps "straight" he is of tentimes "flush." He grows old and "bluff," sees a "deal" of trouble, when at lasi he "shuf fite off his atonal coil, and "passes in his checks," and as he is "raked in" by a "spade," fitiul "game" is ended, aid he waits the summons of Gabrtel's "trump," which shall "order him up"' • • A IiTOG rap,R - TOO ENTHUSIASTIC. During the session of a temperance meeting in a nei7,hhoring town, one of the persons. who occupied the stage was an enthusiastic deacon. vho frequently interrupted the speakers by :ceiling, "Thank God for that." One gentle-, Irvin NI as called upon who rose and said::..: "4dies and gentlemem, lam heart and soul in the cans; and feel' that it will be a great benefit to the people of this placs—" • `Thank God for that," yelled the deaeon. "Ilut ladies and gentlemen," he - continued, "I am sorry to'say that it will be impossible nie to address you this evening —" - "Thank God for that," said the absent" mind - 1.4 deacon, and then: the chairman, took hint out doors, and had two, men set on him. 4, runaway was explained by the young man by saying that he was driving with one hand and holding his girl wine. the, othei; and;`#ind ing he must let go of one,iet the horse go., We are told of gcniss in Colonsdo that is go Ilion, you mtust lather It before you'oun mow: -►r UURNITURE!
