Rules for Sunday.

Dress hard all morning. such is fate,
Then enter church some minutes late.
All eyes will then be turned on YOU,
And will observe your bonnet new,
Let humble modesty wreath your face,
And take your seat with fnullless grace
Let all your thoughts be turned on high
And re-arrange your cardinal tie
Think how religions prone to bless,
And Irucise your neighbur's dress.
Let all your heart he filled with praise,
And notice Irs. Miggles lace
Put from your mind all thought Of sin,
And re adjust your diamond pin.
Think of how good religion proves,
And then smooth your buttoncd gloves.
Catch well the preccpts as they fall
And smoutil the wrinkles in your shawl
lhtnk OF tne SINNER \ Iedllul lule,
And notice if your bonpet's straight.
Pray for the influence of Divine
Tha, lndy's baslue-mark the design.
Let tender peace possess your mind,
And critclse that hat behind.
Reflect on Christian graces, dear,
And fix these curls beside your ear.
Let your heart warm with silent prayer
And view that !lorrid green silk there
KeGece upon the wicked's ways,
See ifyour gold chains out OF place.
Think of the peace the good shall find,
And wonder who are sitting Lehnd
Thuk oflhc burdens TIE christians bear
And notice those strange ladies there.

And fix vour puli.back when you start,

And now let me tell you that no
engine ever beat the time we made
over those fourteen miles. Those
great wheels, seven feet in diameter,
spun around so swift that you couldn't
begin to count the revolutions. The
engine barely seemed to touch the
track as she flew along; and, although
the track was as true as it was posi-
Bile for it to be, she swayed fearfully
and sometimes made such prodigious
iolts that it required considerable
skill for one to keep his feet. No
engine could hold together if crowd
ed to a greater speed.
