A Game of Cards and It's Conse-
uuences.

A paper printed in Litchheld, Ky.,
narrates the following: "A genueman
and his wife who reside in this county
went short time since to visit q neigh
Dor, with intention to stay all night.
After supper the host proposed game
Of cards to his guest, to which the latter
assented, and they sat down to play.
The wife OF the visitor, being religiously
inclined, raised q remonstrance against
the game, but Shis was disregarded by
her husband.
.She III, II became much excited. and
Threatened to burn the cards il they
continued TO play. Atlast her husband
turned to her and said: IF you don't
want TO see me play and can't behave
yourself, just get your bonnet and go
word, aud all that night her lonely pill
low was wet with tears of bitter an
guish, called forth by the knowledge of
her husbands wickedness. Next morn
ing The husband, who In the meantime
had been nursing his wrath, Went home
and told his vile that she had disgraced
him, and she could pack her traps and
leave him forever. Remonstrance was
in vain, and she sorrowlully departed.
"FhaI night the husband retired TO his
widowed bed--to think, not to sleep.
Visions OF the past happiness and regret
Tor his hasty expulsion Of his companion
passed through his mind. Presently he
heard gentle tap at the door. Come
in,' said he. The door opened, and his
wife stood upon the threshold. 'Betsey,'
said he, what are you doing out this
time o. nightT On, nothing said she.
she proceeded to do with more than her
usual alacrity, and nothing more was
said Of their disagreement. Now deck
OF cards adorns the mantelpiece in their
home, and every night, alter the supper
dishes are cleared away, that husband
and wife sit down to a cneerlul game OF
old sledge.'"
