Is It q Moral Cameo

One day this summer we rode hfty
miles in railway car, seated behind four
men, who were playing with those awful
playthings of the devil--cards. They
played euchre until they were tired OF it.
They played little seven-up, Pedro, and
occasionally tribe of poker. We never
heard dispute. Their bursts Of merrl,
ment occasionally at some unexpected
play repeatedly drew our eyes from our
book. They never quarreled, and never
called names once. When we got out at
our station We sat at our window and
watched q party of young men and
maidens play croquet. In fifteen min
utes we saw two persons cheat success
fully. We heard the one player who did not
cheat accused of cheating five times. We
heard four distinct bitter quarrels. We
heard . beautiful young girl tell two
lies, and q meek looking young man
three, and finally We saw the young girl
throw the mallet against the fence 90
hard it frightened horse. the othe!
young girl pounded her mallet so hard
on the ground that ii knocked the buds
OF an apple tree, they both banged into
the house Ut di6erenI doors, and the two
