OF the 200 girls who are employed by the

down on the train that leaves WallingfOrd at

than most girls In order to catch the daybreak
emily mornings good nature cannot be expected
to bubble forth much before midday But
these forty girls are the joiliest crowd imagine
able, and they amuse themselves In many ways
on the train coming down. They read chat
knit, sing, laugh and play cards. Yes, they do
play cards. "A card party IL one ofthe regular
paStimes of the girls on the train. They have
just as much fun as the most enthusiastic whist
players among their male friends. They deal
and manipulate the cards dexteriously and
know how to play in scientific manner They
play all sorts OF games, forty-five, old maid aud
eucher being iavOrites, while q few play whist
and whisky poker. They do not go Into the
smoker to play on one OF the regular card
tables OF course. Instead, they spread a shawl
over their laps and lean back In their seats and

eyes at female card parties, but the pIayers do
not appear the least disturbed by the Scrutiny
Three or four parties may be seen playing any

Why dost thou SORROW for the happy dead:
For, II their life be lost their tolls Ger,
And woe and want can trouble them no more:
Nor ever slept they in an earthly bed
So sound as now they Sleep while dreamless laid
In the dark chambers of the unknown snore,
Where Night and Silence guard each sealed door.
Go, turn from such rs these Thy dropping head.
And mourn the Dead alive. whose spirit flies
When life departs, before his death has come;
Who knows no Heaven beneath Lies gloomy skies
mo sees no Hope to tighten up the gloom,
It's he who feels the worm that never dies,
The real death and darkness OF the tOmb.
