CROQUET 
vnuuy evening,ineznn. muring the went 
the Fair there will he a trial, on the FiiItGi 
P low?, Threshers and other Implements 
chines requiring motive power. The 
Amount of I'liuilunm Ottered nfc 
Hotv 1 me the day when I played croqnet. 
That gtitne with the tmps of wire, 
With the fancy mauls, and the rolling ball9, 
Dost me my heart's desire. 
I’m beat by a blonde, that festive Hal 
Called witching Jenny Duke, 
WIlO wore more stripes on her balmoral 
Than shone on tho painted stake. 
She played croquet with a winning way. 
This damsel young and lair; 
With a smile so cute, and n high-heeled boot, 
And a rose In her floating hair ; 
Such trill* of song, und such hursts of mirth, 
All for my own sweet sake, 
Till I thought a rainbow touched the earth 
Where she stood by the painted stake. 
I fell in love with a turtle ilove. 
And cooed and wooed her well; 
Hut I fell in Iiuto at her croquet mate, 
And called him it cheeky swell. 
If he had not been, what did he mean 
Such u liberty to take 
As to steal a kiss, und Insult the miss 
TUI she blushed like the painted stake? 
Ah 1 the game's all up, and my hitter cup 
Is niied by a frowning fate; 
For at church to-day, so the papers say. 
She married the man I hate. 
For that beaming blonde in the balmoral, 
For treacherous Jenny Iatke. 
With u heart of ire in a martyr lire 
X burn at the painted slake.

A CHINESE CONUNDRUM, 
A Chinaman died, leaving liis property 
by will to bis three sons, us follows:—To 
Fiun-liutn, the eldest, one-half thereof; to 
Nn-Pin, iiis second son, oito-lhird thereof; 
and to Ding-Bat, ltis youngest, one-ninth 
thereof. When the property was inventoried, 
ii was found to consist of nothing more nor 
less than seventeen elephants; and it puzzled 
these three heirs how to divide the property 
according to the terms of the will without 
chopping up the seventeen elephants, and 
thereby seriously impairing their value. 
Finally they applied to a wise neighbor, 
Sum-Punk, for advice. Stun-Pmik had ati 
elephant, of his own. lie drove it into the 
yard with the seventeen and—“ Now we will 
suppose that your father left these eighteen 
elephants. Fum-Hmn, take your half anil 
depart." So Fain-Hum took nine elephants 
and went his way. " Now, Nu-Pin,” said 
the wise man, “take your third and git." 
So Nil-Pin took his six elephants and trav¬ 
eled. “ Now, Ding-Bat," said the wise man, 
“ take your ninth and he gone.” So Ding- 
Bat took two elephants and absquatulated. 
Then Sum Punk took his own elephant and 
drove home again. Query:—Was the prop¬ 
erty divided according to the terms of the 
will?
