POETRY.

“GU IT ALONE.“

nr JOHN a. sum. There's a game much in fashion, I think it's called Euchre, Though I‘ve never played it for- pleasure or lucrc, ' In which when the cards iii-e imiin condi- tions: And one of them cries in a confident tone— " I think I might venture to go it alone '1”

While watching the game, ’tis a whim of the bard‘s.

A moral to draw from the skirmish in cards.

And to fancy he strives in the trivial strife,

Sonic excellent hints for the battle of life,

Where, whether the prize be a ribbon or tlirunc,

The winner is he who can “ go it alone !”

\Vhen great Galileo proclaimed that the world,

In a regular orbit was ccasingly whirled,

And got—not a convert for all of his pains,

“It moves for all that,” was his answering tone,

For he knew like the earth he could “ go i

alone I”

When Kepler, with intellect, piercing afar,

Discovered the laws of each planet mid star;

And doctors, who ought to have lauded his

name,

Dci'idcd his learning and blackened his faqic;

“I can wait," he replied, " till the truth you shall own,”

For he felt in his heart, he coult “ (o it

alone 1” '

Alas for the player Who idly depends,

In the struggle oiHi-fe upon kindred and

friends!

Whatever the value of blessings like! these.

They can never atone for inglorious ens-e;

Nor comfort the coward who flndsfwith a

groan,

That his crutches have left him to “go it

alone !"

There is something, no doubt, in thchand you may hold,

IIculth, family, culture, wit, beauty and gold, The fortunate owner may fairly regard,

As each in its 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 bottle or business, whatever the game,

In law or in love it is ever the name;

In the struggle for power or scrlmble for pclf. Let this be your motto: ~‘ Itely’ou yourself!" For whether the prize bc a ribyoii or throne, 'I‘hc victor is he who can " gap. alone I”

Lic'i'rv Anxsm-zx lived in the country, but you needn‘t infer iron that fact. that she was one of those liilpscy, uncorsctcd simplicitics authors hard put arc wont to indilc spasmodic yarns about, depicting tlicm embodied in innocence and pink calico, mid eventually bornc off by l/u: young man, in preference to the silken- elad, gold-bracclctcd buuris of the town, any of which he might "of‘coui‘sc" have had 101' the asking.

Letty had spent tho‘ycars of her little girlhood in a very slzcable village, and when panlalels\vcrc,in the coiuscbl lime, discarded, was shipprd, per Eric ll. IL, to the lender iiici'cics ol Madame Fusscr. not to emerge lliciicc until finished, complete, incapable of being taught, in after cxisl. cnce, any single thingiiot. hilhevlo known.

Armed with u ctr-lilieatc of these perfec- tions in the shape of a bundle of abridged sheepskin alid blue ribbon, labelch “ iii :— loma " she met Madame Fusser‘s ela Iiuso ill a parting ale, and returned—- not to dim llie < ,ihla of Carbonwood ball-rooms by tl . ilmiualed brilliance, but In rclirc ten miles back from that imi- versal hub, to dwell with the leaf and the rock, to live a care-frcc, active, bcuulcss lilc.

surroundings. Miss Letitia was no recll and. as tln, eond sunimcrol her rct e~ meat waned, buggies. with (-riuoliucd or mouslaclicd inmates, became so frequent a sight as to fail to awaken the amaze which voimiionly regulated the aboritriues who dwolt in the neighboring habitations at any foreign incursion, mid few weeks pas e where a prolonged flourish of po " weepors“ from the window oi the ap- preaching.r train did not llUl‘itld relays in that direction.

So, belwecn-whilcs of pie and cake bak- ing, of putting up endless lllll('l s for Twist-like haynmkcrs, feeding lurkr . chicks, aml other pic in unlicroine-liko occlipations,i\lissla-li aenjo ed the cream of (‘arbonwood “ good sociL ' ;" the more! cream, without the stalciirss constant prc- seucc and standing are apt to give.

No wonder Letty liked to live in the country; no wmidbr she did not (mi-o. though whole days of the most splendid flirting weather should pass and find her solos, when she had such books to study— books aliko of print and paper, of leaf, and rock, and water. Then: was a lakclct full of pickcrels and watorllliosjust below the house. Many a moonlight night did she push the little shallop from the shore and glide up the. shining path the moon- li ht made, or float softly into dim coves Wiit‘il lay In the tender shadow of trees above them. Al these times she only lack- ed the " light of the firefly lamp" torcndcr the poet‘s allusion complete.

Still, she was in iiowiso one of tho great army classed under that conqiroheusive, and never rightl ‘-!lt‘.il1lcll term, “ soull- mental.“ Nola it of it. She never felt any of tbosoiiamby-nambymovings which send feminineimpressiblcs out. to catch their deaths, sitting upon the margin of damper slrcams. She was much out of doors because she liked it, not. at all be- causq'it was so romantic.

" .clty Arnsdr-u. you shall stay down to my party." Letty had run down to Car- bonwood for a day's shoppin , and, otng

deep in festive arrangeman An invita- tion wot a wet-k or two before had not reached her, am] this was her first appris- al of lbi~ important epoch in the social exist-wire other friend Josie.

"I don‘t soc how I call. liudi-rtbo 1m to “car. My only dc- party dress is up ripped up, and ifI \ to write homo o-night. to have. it sent down by the morning express, it wouldn‘t reach here in lime to get it fixed, since the party is lo-inorrow night.”

“ We will improvise a torictan for you, lefty. 1 can‘t give you up. Ah. I guess i.’ you knew what Mr. F 'nham said about full, you‘d want to stay.“

Whether Mr. Favnhaiii‘s disburdcnmcnts had any effect, we are unprepared to say. Letty concluded to stay mid try the im- provising,r plan, providing mother should be willing.

A cheap boy was dispatched on Ned lllixell‘s horse to convey the note of inter- rogation, aiid returning to tho " gleaming," blought the welcome intelligence that Mrs. Ariisden " did not know, but she rather thought she might, this once.“

Josie could hardly wait for breakfast the next morning before she marshallcd Letty to her favorite "fusscv storc"——as Ned c'illed it—lo decide on tic degree of lilie- ncss requisite to p'cvcnt a. tiirlatan from being absolutely '

I‘vo nothing ' l

alcuus.

Soon the sitting-n llll was in a perfect foam of the live: y, voluminous fabric. Josie solemnly t scd double skirts and pink satin pulliiigs itli Miss Mcggs, who, by a stroke of unparalleled good lortuiic. they had been able to secure to fit the waist.

Letty left most of it to Josic‘s superior experience mid sat vcilcd iii the mists of the skirt she was running,r up.

Ned Mixull, allowed to be in the pre- sence at this incipient stage of things, but pretending absorption in “ a book." but looking beyond it, and thinking of bridal veils and the like, as some vigorous flirt ul’lhc vclieiiieneiit Josie threw the sailing stliii'ovcr the head of her guest.

In fact, I think Ned w~ saivaid ofgclting up a small personal crisis, had not some lrecmasuiiary of Miss Mcggs caused the whole trio to vanish suddenly within the pcuctraiia of st. Mixell's bedroom.

When the evening camé at length, and Letty stood before thclooking-glass, look- big anythingr but hastily dressed, even the good-balm d Josie could hardly loi'bca. ' a pang of ‘ ilousy. Josie in “ silk and satin sheen,“ a limitlcs. owclry box, and every Ioilct applicance, was “ nowhere" beside this lloatiug-robcd iiiipi'uviacd mai- den, roses only at her breast and in her hair.

Well, this young lady lroui the country, who " did housework“ all the days of her life, was belle that night. That Apollo, par excclluncc, Carlton liiiigsbnry, though Miss llrowslcr, with tho tla. and dull. diamonds, flashed diamonds and smiles at him enough to put his eyes out, all the evening, acknowledged it. Stanley Hard: ing, by no means an Apollo, assented ll) the verdict in fewer words, yet. pc ‘1 'ips, felt it all the more from that Very fact.

Lolly waited for no party calls, butdon- hing hcr quite grey travelling dress and sacque, was oil'bi'ighl and early for the lll‘lit)l.. The dress of the evening hung high and dry in Josic's closet, Letty telling Josie she would either come down mid bd her brideiiiaid in it, or have it sent up in a tll'y~;_;‘uiul." box; she couldn‘t undertake to get it home single-handed. She did not escape ungvcl-tz-d, however. When Ned Mitchell showed her gallantly into the do- pol, she found several ol’lasl night‘s party among the emide All of them bowed prolbumlly. and ufic or two ventured upon a more divcgt address.

Yet, after the traits with a. great sigh had gathered itself for departure, and then, sinking off its lethargy, pushed boldly owrthc biin t ~wave; when lhc bowing group had m d their hats and gone their several w. the entire number. slrangrely enough, r solved lholn- - Ives, in llclty‘s mind, into two persons, Carlton liingsbury and Stanley Harding.

it would take a long while In cnnnt lllc lromors thos amo eyes had shot through innslili-covi-iul hearts, as they met llic eyes which belonged fotheiii ilifhal glance so taking to a woman‘s fancy—the slightly Iiielaiicholy.

It was not possible to think such a large and noble soul could do otherwise than dwell in such a filling tcmplo or look out of such by ind least young folks could not lliink so, and young folks, you i'cnicni- llt'l‘, know what is what, considerably in advance of their parents.

Stanley Harding had few of flu-so graves lo ruconmicnd him; he was tall enough, and well knit, yet he lacked that airy, iii- dL-scribablo grace nature gives to some few of her sons, Kingsbury among them. Ilis eyes, too, weic not brown, like that gun- llcmmi‘s. but gray, large enough, yet hav- ing little of that style of expression which rcudored the hazel mics so taking.
