Card Playing.

Gail Hamilton, having recommended
card playing as a wholesome amusement

writes like a man knowing whereof he
atirms, makes a vigorous and earnest re-
ply from which we clip the following ex-
tracts:

may be; but also narrows down their
capacity to one round of thought, and di-
verts them fearfully from elevating re-
Elections and tendencies. l put no stress
upon the inducement to gambling, from
indulgence in this game. To me, its cry
ing evil is its greedy eating up of the
precious hours which were given for wor-
thier usage. My observation, largely
taught, tells me that it is a deadly foe
amongst young men, to all spiritual ten
denotes. 1t is singularly absorbing in its
nature; and there is no form of amuse-
ment to which they become so easily and
generally attached. To almost every re-
creation nature has set reasonable limits,
through WEAKNESS of the flesh. Not so
with card d-playing. It's devotees never
seem to grow tired, never cry hold
enough. see young men here whose
brows are broad enough to work out for
themselves a noble destiny, playing whist
every night with unwearied assiduity /;
and when the Sabbath comes, see them
lounging about the hall and piazza, yaw.

playthings. / do not see that their lob

cess. On the contrary, l see in their va
pid conversation, in their utter lack of
reading, their indifference to tho passing
events, their thorough ignorance of re-
sponsiblllty to God, the dissipation and
belittling effect Of their constant and un-
varied pastime.

community open to my observation, and
i am yet to be made to believe that a
game which is t h e universal resort of
the starved in soul and intellect, which
has never linked with itself tender, ele-
waiting, or beautiful associations, the ten
dency of which was unduly to absorb the
attention from more weighty matters,
can recommend itself TO the favor of
Christ's disciples. The use of culture
and genius may embellish, but can rever

Six months passed, and the smooth

patriot we're laid low, and he was buried
beside bis mother. The blood which had
throbbed so warmly for the Union and
liberty had been spilled in bis first battle,
but it had not flowed in vain. James
Eaton was aroused from his indifference,
and felt that he had double mission, TO
avenge Harry, and to defend the cause
for which his young brother had laid
down bis life. Yet be knew that his
uncle could i'll spare him. The shop
was full OF workmen, and be, young as
he was, had the oversight of them. How

Uncle David watched him closely, al

went to war to protect her "peclliar in

Years ago the 'O'd Man eloquent in

The Mountains of Life.

There's land far away, mid stars we are told,
Where they know not the sorrows of time;
Where the pure waters wander through the val
leys Of gold
And life is a treasure sublime.
'Tis the land Of our God, It's the home of the
soul,
Where ages Of splendor eternally roll
Where the way-weary traveller reaches his goal
On the evergreen mountains of life.
Q the stars never tread the blue heavens OF
night,
But we think where the ransomed have trod,
And the day never smiles from its palace of light
But We feel the bright smile of our God.
We are travelling homeward. through changes
and gloom,
To a kingdom where pleasures unchangingly
boom
And our guide is the glory that shines through
the tomb
From the evergreen mountains Of life.

Peruvian Civilization.

The Adrocate and Journal has the
following on the old Peruvian race
The remains Of their public roads, in
tersecting the country in various diree-
tions, are still more remarkable TESTING
mails 10 their superior skill. Two of these
extended from Quito TO the capital, Cuz-
co, and thence southwark, in divergent
lines, toward Chill. OF these Prescott
says "One of these roads passed over
the grand plateau, and the other along
the low lands on the borders Of the ocean.
The former was much the more difficult
achievement, from the character Of the
country. Ii was conducted over pathless
sierras, covered with snow galleries
were cut for leagues through the living
rock rivers were crossed by means of
bridges that swung suspended in the air;
precipices were scaled by stairways hewn
out of the native bed ravines Of hideous
depth were filled up with solid masonry
in short, all the difficulties that beset
wild and mountainous region, and which
might appal the most courageous engineer
Of modern times, were encountered and
successfully overcome. The length ofthe
road OF which scattered fragments only
remain, is variously estimated at from l.
500 to 1000 miles; stone pillars, in the
manner Of European milestoues were
erected at stated intervals of little more
than a league along [ b g route. Its
breadth scarcely exceeded twenty feet.
1t was built of heavy flags Of freestone,
and, in some parts, at least, covered with
bituminous cement, which time has
made harder than the stone itself. In
some places where the ravines have been
filed up with masonry, the mountain tor
rents wearing on il for ages, have grad
ualy eaten a way through the base and
left the superincumbent mass--such is
the cohesion of materials-still spanning
the valley like an arch" Humbolt says:
"The great road Of Incas was one Of the
greatest and most useful works ever ex-
ecuted by man." The fibres Of the mag
uey. the tough osier of the country, twist
ed into cables as thick as a mans body,
furnished the material for their bridges.
Several Of these great cables, bound to-
gether and strongly fastened together at
the ends, formed the bridge, which was
covered with wood and guarded on each
edge by railing. Some Of these bridg-
es spanned chasms two hundred feet
broad, covering frigh;fnl abyss where
dark waters foamsd and tumbled many

The Loyal Quaker.

When David Blake took the charge o.
his sisters orphans he inwardly vowed
to be true father TO them as he lived
Perhaps l wrong the principles of the
worthy Quaker--for David was zeal
GUS member of that persuasion--in as
serting that he made vow, even to
himself But he certainly made a sol.
enln affirmation to that effect, whether
it took the form of an oath or not. And
all who saw the tender care bestowed
upon James and Harry during the help
less years of childhood and orphausge
could attest the sincerity of their noble
hearted protector. This was thought the
more remarkable when it was known
that he was not at liberty to bring up
the boys after his own views, their dying
mother having specially desired that
they should not become Quakers. Uncle
David was a bachelor. Neither he nor
his prim househeeper, Easter Lake,
were used to the society Of children
But the old hall was opened wide like
the heart of its owner to receive them ;
and even solemn aunt Esther soon learn
ed TO greet the boys with smile.
James and Harry well repaid their
uncle's kindness. They loved him warm
ly, and showed both their affection and
gratitude by devoted attention TO his
wishes. In his large mandatory they
early made themselves useful, and when
Of suitable age, began to fill situations Of
trust and responsibility. Harry Eaton
was 21 years old, and his brother two
years more than that when the fall Of
Sumter started the loyal North, and sent
its young men from the shop to the field
of battle.
what shall do, James, said his
younger brother. Il must go TO the help
Of my country-I caunot stay away
But Uncle David does not believe 10
war, and ! suppose viii think me a very
headstrong and hair-brained boy for
wishing to fight
Yes replied james, Uncle is a
peace man, Of course all the Quakers
are by profession. You will not get his
leave to be soldier; it is of no use to
think OF it, Harry
But must, brother; I Gun think of
nothing else. All the blood in my veins
is throbbing for Union and liberty, and
my arms are s:raining for the musket to
ayenge this treachery and put down the
rebellion. Uncle David dare not keep
me back from service in srch a cause ?
ASK him and see,' was the reply.
Harry did ask, though to face and to
displease his Uncle tried his courage
more than to confront the foe in arms.
What does thee want TO fight for ??
was the answer. Thy fair cheeks so
like thy mothers, is too tender and
smooth for sword cot or bullet hole.
There is something besides poetry in
war, my boy.
Harry's cheek flushed and his eye
glistened, but be stood his ground like a
man. In few words be spoke Of his
country's peril of the callto its defense;
Of the deep and ready response which
his heart made to the call, and implored
his uncle to die for it.
