And mr feelings were shocked At the state of Nye's sleeve, Which was stuffed full or aces and bowers, And the same with intent to deceive. But the hands tlmt were played By that heathen Chinee, " And the points that he made. Were quite frightful to see Till atlast he put down a rteM^wer, Which the same Nye had dealt unto me. Then I looked up at Ny 3, And he gazed upon me; And he rose with a sign And said, "Can this be? Weare ruined by Chinese cheap labor' And he went for that heathen Chinee. In the scene that ensued 1 dh) not take a hand, lut the floor, it was strewed Like the leaves on the strand. With the cards that Ah Sin had been hiding, In thc game "he did not understand." In his sleeves, which were long, He had twenty-four pack? Which was coming lt strong, Yet I state but the facts ; And we found on bis nails, which were taper. What ls frequent In tapers-that's was.
