an assertion OF the right to occupy the
heart and mind with higher things than

has cut us OF from any part Of the do

breach between us aud those who find
their life wholly in outward adornment.
This Is why the short dress is precious to
us. But though we are incorrigible SO
far us the principle by which We hold the
short dress is concerned, and do not care
to argue about it, we can say one thing
in which its critics ought to find conso.

nothing to shame her who was "madt

love Of man that woman, in following
the vugaries OF fashion, sacrifices peace ol
heart with mental improvement and
health and comfort ind convenience.
But the women Of the community dc

things to gain the affections Of the men
They have the love of the men in the

Plnylng Cards.

In the reign Of GeorgeIII. Horace Wal.
pole tells us that everybody followed
Hamlet's direction, and spoke by the card.
They were made the vehicles of mes.
spges of all kinds, and even reverend
bishops would take mp an ace Of hearts
to convey instruction on serious matters
of business some OF which are still in
existence. Caricatures, then new
species OF satire, vera sometimes drawn
upon them, and ministers Of State con-
descended to invent the devices, Charles
Townshend himself carricaturin2 the

the pack was afterwards engraved.
1t has often been asked why the nine
of diamonds is called the Course Of
Scotland" and as answer Inns lately
been given by n writer in NoieS aud
Queries, we may perhaps conclude this
article by giving three historical facts
which he assigns NJ having caused the
saying. In the distracted state of the
country during the reign Of Mary,

/ the poor oppressed people thought SO
great grievance that theytcrmed it the
curse Of Scotland and, until very re.
Gently, the card bore the name OF Geo.
Campbell in the Highlands. The second
explanation relates to the well.known
massacre Of Glencoe. The mandate for
this cruel deed WIS signed by the eldest
son Of the Earl of Stair, who wns at the
time the Secretary of State for Scotland.
The cont of arms of this family bears
nine diamonds on its shield, and the
people, not daring to stigmntisc the
Master Of Stair rs the curse Of Scotland,
applicd't TO his nrnorial bearings. The
last explanation relates to the battle Of
Cullodcn, which extinguished the hopes
Of the Stuart party. and was at the time
considered u national curse. The Duke
of Cumberland, who was known to have
been gambler, is said to have carried
pnck of cards in his pocket and when
he had won the famous field, he took
out thc nine OF diamonds and wrote his
account Of the victory on it, t,-ChdmberS's

the end.
Now, do not sit down and brood over
your grief, if you can help it. Do not
close your blinds and shut out the sun
shine. Let it warm you, though your
baby is cold. You would rather have
felt its little warm clasp even for that
brief time, than not to have known the
bliss Of motherhood, would you not ?
Well, them warm your poor heart with
that bit Of comfort. Nor there's II lad
der reaching to Heaven, only seen by
you, only used by you. Heaven is not
now, to you, the misty land it used to
be. Yoa see it clearly. By and by you
will hear its music, and one little voice
your mothers ear will detect and none
who see the peace which illumines your
face will know pherpore, save Him
who doeth all things we'll" And so,
with my love, / leave you.
