20 go Senth, into the state of Pennsylvania and
remain until the war is over These refugees
are chiefly woman and children, and in the event
of a close seige of Richmond it would be the part
of wisdom for the rebel authorities to have no
non-combatants to supply with food. We hope
that these refugees may after this war is over,
return to their homes wiser and better for their
experience at the North, and that they may be
industrious and useful during their sojourn
among civilized people.

why do you Play Cards?

a. To kill time, y said one who was getting
ready for battle in which he might lose his
life. q To break the monotony and dullnes5 Of
life, said another. A man on the steamboat,
at a table where they were playing cards could
not read. " Do you know the cards on that ta-
be?' Oh, yes" /" Can you play them?'
" Yes" " Why don't you learn to read ~
Z" Have no time, nor any one to teach me- -
This man played for two or three hours, and
could MT sit in the saloon without hunting up
some one to play with.
Another company said they only played TO
pass away time" They continued until all
the passengers had gone to bed asleep and
were at it next morning before breakfast
Every few minutes one and another would utter
an oath.
a man about thirty-fve, and a young woman
about twenty-five to thirty, drew up to a table
and commenced playing. After while, papers
and pencils were put on the table to mark their
success. Presently they reckoned mp, drew out
their pocket-books, and settled. This continued
until late bedtime. The man was calm, watch
full, silent, intent. The woman cool, selt-pos-
SeSSed, without an em0uon expressed III htF
countenanee, evidently an adept, being the
winner. They parted in the night, without Il
word.
In the same saloon soon every table was occu-
Pied four or five men at one table all playing.
At another, four men with their coats off a
bottle and glass among them, AS they played,
they became louder in their speech. One would
put down his card with an oath another, as he
threw down his card, would curse it, and
other curse the whole game. Drinking, swear
ing, and playing cards occupied that evening.
Time and again we have seen men on board
boat take the Bible from the table and put it on
the floor under the table, while they have
played cards and swore together by the hour
over it.
g think it wonderful, said Addison, TO
see persons of sense passing away dozen OF
hours together in shutting and dividing pack
of cards, with no other conversation bat what
is made up of few game-phrases, and no other
| ideas but those of black and red spots ranged
! together in different figures. Would not man

MANY of the hucksters flom the country have
been disposed to charge exorbitant prices foy
their produce in some instances we believe so
to 100 per cent higher than the Baltimore mar

Nest WelAnoholy.
At Prairie du Chen, (Mansion House, }
on Monday night, HIRAM e. LAxPsoN, late
of McGregor, took his own life by shooting
himself through the body near the region
Of the heart. He had been some time
Respondent, but friends who saw him on
Monday had not the most remote appre-
hension Of the trouble that must have
weighed upon him. He went to his bed
room with apparent good-feeling, but short
ly after pistol shot was heard, followed by
groan. Friends rushed up and found
him on his bed, the pistol still in his right
hand: he was unable to speak and lived
only 80 minutes.
We could write column on the death of
this highly esteemed. friend, but the recol.
lection of his kindness to US, and the shock
which this report Of his unhappy death has
caused, humans US, and writing is out of
the question. He had his troubles, and
until we know them, let the mantle of
Charity hide this last terrible act in Lies
drama, from unkind criticism. The history
Of his life is known to his friends. The
heart that prompts this notice will be life

it does more business in Wisconsin than
