DOING WITHOUT IT.
BY C. G. AMES.
I'vo fouud some wisdom in my quest.
That's richly worth relating;
I've learned that when one does his beat,
There's little harm in failing.
I thought to gather wealth untold,
And made my boast about it;
My wit and toil bring little gold,
I'm just as great without it.
I said, "The world shall hear my name,
And down the ages shout it; .
1 shall not win the bauble feme;
I'm just as great without it.
Another thing I've had to prove,
Though much I used to doubt it ?
One can't be sure of human love,
But one can live without it.
I saw tbe world with wrong o'ergrown,
And set myself to root it;
Some age will see it overthrown,
So I can die without it
I thought to know philosophy.
And teach mankind about it;
My plummet will not sound the sea,
My ship sails on without it. '
1 may not reach what I pursue,
Yet will I keep pursuing;
Nothing is vain that I can do,
For soul-growth comes of doing.
But wherefore tell you what I know, -When
you will not receive it t
When you have lived and learned, I trow,
You're certain to believe it.
DUEL ON THE DIKE.
!
It was a fair day on the river Ohio.
The grand saloons on the steamer Kishico
quillac were crowded with passengers.
The ladies in the after portions lounged
upon luxurious divans, sipping cooling
beverages, or sleeping over recent litera
ture, and in ana out among mem piayeu
a darkeyed child, who now and then cry
ed netulantlv for papa. The latter sat in
the dim, close, forward cabin, at one of
the many card tables, lie was pale and
agitated, for he was losing heavily. Lit
tle by little Jortune naa Decnoneu nun ou,
and now that she was receding, he gam
bled recklessly; but the cool, clever gen
tleman, with the curling hair, sitting op
nosite. swent off the eagles without a
smile. The loser was wild; at each mis
fortune he doubled his stakes, the winner
always closing the game, thougii careless

losses seriously. It was a game of poker,
and there were participants, but these two
divided all attention. Five cards were
dealt to each, and the players wagered
upon the relative value ot the sequences.
If the troubled man hold four tens, the
other was certain to bold lour knaves;
twice he held kings, the other called tour
aces.
"I do not own a dime in the world,
cried the pale man at last; "will you take
two hundred dollars against my watch f

ruined. The money I have lost was not
mine. That man has made me a thiet,
and he wears upon his linger my poor
wife's wedding ring.
In another instant he had scattered his
own brains upon the bystanders.
Tho survivor wiped his coat couipiaceM-
lv. and lit a fresh cigar. The steamer was
stopping at some station, ana mum me
haste and confusion he stepped pleasantly
ashore. The lines had been cast adrift,
the wheels spun round again, and the
hoat moved, when a small, piercing scream
. i.. 1 !.l it.
arose from the throne. It was the dark-
evod child, and he had found his papa.
"Come here, my little man," said an
old neero steward, lifting the boy aloft,
and wiping his eyes, "does ye'r see a gen'
l'uian yonder on the quay, a mos' specta
Klo oWl'mnn ncrwiue in the hack. Dat
man has got ye'r pa's golden jewels and

The boy marked fiercely through his
tears the shapely limbs and the long bright
ringlets, and on the stranger's white hand
f.hn o-litter of the dead man's gem. A gush
if o-rifif drowned out the scene, and the
steamer drifted away.
Twenty years followed, and each year
witnessed upon th& western waters its
hosts of d upes and blacklegs. But among
the latter class there was one singularly
fiirentric and successful. He never lost.
There were no impossibilities in the game
which he played. He was a necroman
cer at cards ; with some there were chances
he made chances certainly. He plun
dered the poor and the rich, yet cast their
purses back again with scorn in his dark
eyes; and he was invariably searching for
.i Gentleman tourist with flowing hair, up
hose track he seemed to be forever,
yet whom he never found. At times he
wnnld leno from the gaming tables as a
steamer passed, exclaiming that he saw the
object of his search, and offer the Cap
tain his fortune to turn and overtake hnu.
H remarked him on rafts and landings,
and in receding villages, and among the
thousand faces of busy citizens. Yet, with
those glimpses the iigures passed away
and the years passed by, and the travel
in"1 public thought the man crazy though
not upon the suujeci oi cams.
They met one a ay tne pursuer huu
pursued after all those twenty years. It
a fiiir afternoon on the Mississippi, and
upon tho Kishicoquillac. They sat in the
forward cabin at one end ot the many to
bies, and the floor at the feet of the pur
suer was dark with ancient Diooa-ttiains.
"I beg your pardon," he said quietly,!
bending his eyes upon his opponent, "will
you change places with me J
The IlOWing UHir vi mo wuii ;ij
grey, but he was calm, and only for a mo
ment he faltered.
"If you insist," he answered pleasantly:
"It will give no advantage."
They were wonderfully matched, but
the young man won. They wagered ex
travagantly aud waited deliberately, but
the voung man always won.
"I will play you for my watch," said the
elderly man and the young man won.
"I have nothing more," smiled the pur
sued, cold as an icicle.
"T Rfifi a very handsome ring on your
c,. on ernprald will von hazard it J"
The old man laid it down after a long
pause.
"It is my last ornament,
he muttered
"I show four queens."
"And I," shrieked the dark-eyfd youth,
tossing away gold, table and chairs, "I
show four kings ! The ring is mine ! You
won it from ray father whom you mur
dered. His blood fell where you stand,
and where I will have yours."
They grapple at once; knives flashed in
the dark, close cabin, and pistols clicked
and snapped. The boat's officers and by
standers rushed in and tore them apart,
and they would have beaten the young
man that his hand was raised against gray
hairs.
"Give de bov fair play." cried an oldH
negro steward, "I knows 'em boftl Dese
eyes saw do fader of do young mas'r
stretched at de oder's feet Let'em ashore,
Captain. Give each of 'em a knife, and
let de boat go on."
They placed them ujion a slippery dyke,
a marsh on one side, where slimy alliga
tors lay basking, and on the other hand
the broad turbid Mississippi. The pas
sengers crowded aft; they fell upon each
other in the clear light of the afternoon ;
their knives glittered an instant and then
the avenger stood alone with gray hair at
his feet.

SIX AND HALF A DOZEN.
A paper which persistently denouuees
Congress says: "The whole Radical party
declare that the South shall not be re-ad
mitted to Congress until it conforms to cer-

tain conditions to be Dy themselves oicia
ted."
What is the case upon the other side !
Simply that the President insists that the
South shall lj re-admitted to Congress
fuwntiHA it has ostensibly conformed to
conditions which he has himself dictated.
Judo-e Rufhn, of JNorth Carolina, says
that the President is revolutionary because
he prescribed conditions. Ihe President

CIRCULATE THE PAPERS.
The Marion Democrat, under the above
caption lets forth the following rather
amusing paragraph:
"The only reason now why the Republicans
maintain their power, ia because they circulate
their papera in numbers greatly in excess of
Democratic papers. Tbe Republican papers
apeak to fitty voters, wnere tbe Democratic
press speaks to one.
That's just the reason, Mr. Democrat!

the New York Turf, in Germany, writes: "What
queer sort of country this is to a man fresh
from America. The roads stretch away for
miles and miles together, under the shade of a
double row of cherry and apple trees; there are
no lencea Desiae toe road, nooe around tne helds,
none even around most of the houses. One
sees no cattle, except now and then a small
herd watched by a keeper, throughout a dreary
day; no sheen," except under the same condit
ions; no horses at all, do swine, and not even
any geese or chickens. All are kept up in their
places, and I have laughed more than once to
see a stout Dutchman driving; a flock of eoeae
or a brood of chickens on their morning or even

TREASON vs. LOYALTY.
The Cincinnati Gazette with great felic
ity, thus groups two recent occurrences of
which it makes plain statements ot tact,
but which by their mere collocation are as
suggestive as columns of argument :
"When Gen. George H. Thomss asked Presi
dent Johnson if he should furnish Governor
Brownlow with a squad of troops to assist in
holding in check the disloyal elements that were
seeking to disrupt me loyai estate uovernment.
he was promptly and piteiu;jy ioia on no ac
mnnt to interfere.
"When the rebel Attorney General of Louisi
ana asked tbe protection of the United States
troops for a disloyal mob, so tnat it might witn
impunity murder the members of a loyal Con
vention, assembled in accordance with the Gov
ernor's proclamation, President Johnson at once
telegraphed, placing all the troops in the State
at said reofl Attorney ueuerai n umpwu, sou
in such language that the most ttlid scoundrels
in New Orleans at once took tbe hint, and set
eagerly about their bloody work.

A RACY DESCRIPTION.
From a treatise on races by Griswold,
(tho Fat Contributor,) we quote a para
graph or two:
"I flatter myelf that I know something
about the hone race. I had a passion for horse
racing when a lad, and need to run horses with
a neighbor's boy in Tompkin'a lane. How
vividly do I recall my last race. I rode the
governor's grass fed mare a sorrel roan, if I re
member correctly, with two while feet in the
forehead. She was a little foundered in one
eye, but, with the exception of something like
a watermellon on each knee, her intellect was
impaired. She was aired by a Canal Horse,
and d d by every one who drove her. Neigh
bor's boy rode a cream colored chestnut with
snrlno halt to harness. On the home stretch
was neck and a half shoulder blade behind,
gently encouraging the old mare to do her level
best by the application of a corn cutter to her
aged ribs. The limp which she had in her
eye prevented her taking a clear view of a heap
f ,nhV,l atones in the laue. and when she
airnck them there was a stumble, a clatter of
stones, horse-ehoa rnd old bones, and the old
m.r. w wracked and no insurance.
"I was picked up bleeding snd inaensible
and I made the remainder of the homeatretch
on a stretcher, coming in under one blanket.
The race was decided in my fcvor. The judges
allowed, although I was a neck behind when
th6 old mare stumbled, yet, aa 1 escaped with
out my neck being broken, I came out a neck
ahead.
THE CONVENTION.

of Andrew Johuson, Rev. Granville Moody,
a man of rare courage and sincerity, clung
to tho conviction that the President meant

some time since abandoned that belief,
and recently, in the Cincinnati Gazette,
addressed a'most eloquent and impressive
letter to the President, warning him of the
error of his ways-tndof tho wrath to come.
The only drawback to it is that Andrew

and may never se it.
