Show A Uluu of Chut., ' Man's life is a game of cards. First it is "cribbage." Next be tries to "go it alone" at a sort of "cut, shuffle and deal" pact. Then be "raises the deuce" when his mother takes a hand and contrary to Hoyle "beats little joker" with her "five." Then with his diamonds he wins the queen of hearts. Tired of playing a "lone hand," he expresses ex-presses a desire to "assist" his fair partner, throws out bis cards and the clergyman takes a ten dollar biil on the "pair." She "orders him up" to build the fires. Like a "knave" he joins the "club" with "low" too. If he keeps "straight" he is often times "flush." He grows "bluff" and sees a deal of trouble, when at last he "shuffles" off his mortal coil and passes in hiB "checks." As he is "raked in" by a "spade," life's fitful "game" is ended, and he awaits the summons of Gabriel's "trump" which will awaken him. |
