The Game of Yewker.
BY JOSH B1LI.1SGS.
This ill bred game of kards Is about
27 years old.
It was fust diskovered by tlie deck
hands on a Isike Eric steamboat, apd
handed down by them to posterity Jn i
awl Its juvenile bnty.
It is generally played by persons,
and owes much of its absorbingness j
tew the fakt that yu can talk, and'
drink, and chaw, and eheut, w hile the
game is advanein.
I have seen it played on the Hudson I
river railroad, iii the smoking car,
witii more immaculate skill than any
wlicro else.
If yu play there you will often hold
a hand that will astonish yu, quite of
ten 4 queens and a 10 spot, which will
inflame you to bet 7 or 8 dollars that it
iz a good hand tn play poker with ; but
yu will be more astonished when you
see the other feller’s hand, which inva
riably consists of 4 kings and a one
spot.
Yewker is a molalto game, and don't
compare tew old sledge In majesty, cn
nr more than a game of pin duz to a
square church raffle.
I never play yewker.
I never would learn how out ov
principle.
1 was originally created cluss towr the
Connekticut line in Xu England,where
the game ov 7 up, or old sledge, wa
born, and evists now in awl its pristine
virginity.
1 play old sledge tew this day, in its
natiff fierceness.
But I won't play enny game, if T know
my charaktcr, where a Jack w ill take
an ace, and a 10 spot won't count for,
game.
J won't play no such kind of game,
out ov respekt tew old Connekticut,
mi natitT state.

A Happy Eebuke.
Watty Morrison, a. Seotrli Clergy
man, was a man of great wit and hu
mor. On one occasion he entreated
an officer at Fort George to pardon a
poor fellow that was sent to the hal
berts.
The officer offered to grant his re
quest if he would, in return, grant him
the first favor he would ask.
Mr. Morrison agreed to this and the
officer immediately demanded that the
ceremony of baptism should be per
formed on a pirppy.
The clergyman agreed to it, and a
party of many gentlemen assembled to
witness the novel baptism.
Mr. Morrison desired the officer to
hold up the dog as was lieoessary in
the baptism of children, and said:
“As 1 am a minister of the Church
of Scotland, 1 must proceed according
to the ceremonies of the church.''
“Certainly,” said the Major, "I expect
all the ceremony.”
“Well, then, Major, I begin by the
usual question—do {you acknowledge
yourself the father of this puppy?”
A roar of laughter burst from the
crowd, and the officer threw the candi
date for baptism away.

About Hens.
Hatching out and bringing up one
brood of chickens, is enough for one ,
hen to do in that line in one year.—
Sometimes they will bring up two
broods, but often fail, and are worth
little after that.
Some liens wish to set three or four |
times a year, and various means are re
sorted to, to prevent it—such as shut- :
ting them up in a dark place, tying the ,
feet w ithin two or three inches of each
other for as many days. Some prac
tices arc resorted to which are cruel,
such as plunging them in cold water,
or withholding all food from them for
a time,
Do not allow a hen to set in the same
nest where a brood lias just been hatch
ed out, without first cleaning it out in
the most thorough manner, uud^vnsh
ing it out in ashes and water,"oWtrong
lime water.
Eggs are much more certain to lie
hatched if the nost is large, uiul com- j
posed at the bottom, of the earth, and
then lined with a little soft hay or |
straw.
When hens steal their nests they gen- j
orally place their eggs upon the ground, j
and this becomes so thoroughly heated :
that when the hen leaves the nest, for '
food or water, the heal Imparted from
the earth til the eirffs keens them w arm
until the hen returns to them.—[X. V.

teTWe once saw a young man gazing ,
at the *ry heaven, with a f in 1
and a of pistols in the other. We
endeavored to attract his atlOtion by
pointing to a T in a paper we held in our
relating 2 a young man in that {
of the country, who had left homo in a
state of mental derangement. Ho
dropped the f and pistols from his

of mv design. I had sO the )>2r of a
girl who refused to lislO to me; but;
smiled boOly on another. I-ed
madly from the house uttering a wild

plying to the ? ? of my friends, came
here with this f and of jdstols. to
put a . to my exislOce.
A correspondent, writing of Salt
Lake City, says:
‘•This singular town covers an area
of uiue square miles—that is, three
miles each way. it is one of the most
beautifully laid out cities in the world.
The streets arc very wide, with water
running through nearly every oue of
them. Every block is surrounded with
beautiful shade trees, and almost every
house has its neat little orchard of ap
ple, peach, apricot, and cherry trees.—
In fact, the whole nino square miles is
almost one continuous orchard.

—The Louisiana Baptist says:
Wo gathered a new idee from one of
best planters, last week, in retatiou to
tomatoes, lie says that much bettor
tomatoes may be made by sotting the
plants between the hills of corn in the

corn imparts a peculiar sweetness to

THE MEKCHANT8’ & MANUFACTURERS’
JEWELRY ASSOCIATION
Calls your attention to the fact of its being
the largest ard most popular Jewelry Associ
ation in the United States. The business is,
and always has been conducted in the mnwt
candid and honorable manner. Our rapidly
increasing trade ia a sure guarantee of the
appreciation of our patrons for this method
of obtaining rich, elegant and costly goods,—
The sudden stagnation of trade in Europe,
owing to the late German war, and recent di
sastrous'financial crisis in Europe, has caused
the failure of a large number of Jewelry
houses in-London and Paris, obliging them to
sell their goods at a great sacrifice, in some
instances less than onc-third the cost of man
ufacturing. We have lately purchased very
largely of’these Bankrupt Goods, at such ex
tremely low prices that we can afford to send
away finer goods, and give better chances to
draw the most valuable prizes than any other
establishment doing a similar business.—
01 R AIM 18 TO PLEASE, and we respect
fully solicit your patronage, as we are confi
dent of giving the utmost satisfaction. Du
ring the past year we have forwarded a num
ber of the most valuable prizes to all parts of
the country. Those who patronize us will re
ceive the full value of their money, as no ar
ticle on our list is worth less than One Dollar,
retail, and there are no Blanks. Parties deal
ing witli us may depend on having prompt
returns, and the urticle drawn will be imme
diately sent to any address by return mail or
