Southern Cottontian. SATURDAY... JUNE 15, 1872 Humors of a Soldier's Life. A private soldier, by the name of Richard Lee, was taken before the magistrate of Glasgow for playing cards during divine service. The account of it is thus given in an English journal. Sergeant commanded the soldiers at the church, and when the person had read the prayers he took the text. Those who had a Bible took it out, but this soldier had neither Bible nor Common Prayer Book; but pulling out a pack of cards he spread them out before him. He first looked at one card and then at another. The Sergeant of the company saw him, and said: "Richard put up the cards, this is no place for them." "Never mind that," said Richard. When the service was over, the constable took Richard a prisoner, and bro't him before the Mayor. "Well," says the Mayor, "what have you brought the soldier here for?" "For playing cards in church." "Well, soldier, what have you to say for yourself." "Much sir, I hope." "Very good; I not I will punish you more than ever man was punished." "I have been," said the soldier, "about six weeks on the march. I have neither Bible nor Common Prayer Book. I have nothing but a pack of cards, and I hope to satisfy your worship of the purity of my intentions." Then spreading the cards before the Mayor, he began with the ace. "When I see the ace it reminds "Much sir, I hope." "Very good; I not I will punish you more than ever man was punished." "I have been," said the soldier, "about six weeks on the march. I have neither Bible nor Common Prayer Book. I have nothing but a pack of cards, and I hope to satisfy your worship of the purity of my intentions." Then spreading the cards before the Mayor, he began with the ace "When I see the ace it reminds me that there is but one God." "When I see the deuce it reminds me of Father and Son." "When I see the tray it reminds me of Father, Son and Holy Ghost." "When I see the four it reminds me of the four Evangelists that preached—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John." "When I see the five it reminds me of five wise virgins that trimmed their lamps. There were ten, but five were wise and five were foolish, and they were shut out." "When I see the six it reminds me that in six days God made heaven and earth." "When I see the seven it reminds me that on the seventh day God rested from the great work he had made, and hallowed it." "When I see the eight it reminds me of the eight righteous persons that were saved when god destroyed the world viz: Noah and his wife, his three sons and their wives." "When I see the nine it reminds me of the nine lepers that were cleansed by our Saviour. There nine out of ten who never returned thanks." "When I see the ten it reminds me of the Ten Commandments which God handed down to Moses on the table of stone." "When I see the king it reminds me of the Great King of Heaven, which is God Almighty." "When I see the queen it reminds me of the Queen of Sheba, who visited Solomon, for she was as wise a woman as he was a man. She brought with her fifty boys and fifty girls all dressed in boy's apparel, for King Solomon to tell which were bows and which were girls. King Solomon sent for water for them to wash. The girl washed to the elbows, and the boys to the wrists, so King Solomon told by that." "Well," said the Mayor, "you have given a description of all the cards in the pack except one." "What is that?" "The knave," said the Mayor. brought with her fifty boys and fifty girls all dressed in boy's apparel, for King Solomon to tell which were bows and which were girls King Solomon sent for water for them to wash. The girls washed to the elbows, and the boys to the wrists, so King Solomon told by that. "Well," said the Mayor, "you have given a description of all the cards in the pack except one." "What is that?" "The knave," said the Mayor. "I will give your honor a description of that, too, if you will not be angry." "I will not be angry," said the Mayor, "if you do not term me to be the knave." "Well," said the soldier, "the greatest knave that I know of is the constable that brought me here." "I do not know," said the Mayor, "if he is the greatest knave, but I know he is the greatest fool." "When I count the number of spots in a pack of cards, I find three hundred and sixty-five—as many days as there are in a year." "When I count the number of cards in a pack, I find there fifty-two—the number of weeks in a year; and I find four suits—the number of weeks in a month." "I find there are twelve picture cards in a pack representing the number of months in a year; and on counting the tricks I find thirteen—the number of weeks in a quarter." "So you see, sir, a pack of cards serves as Bible, almanac and Common Prayer Book" A California obituary: "The deceased was a talented man of romantic nature. He placed the butt of his gun in the fire while he looked down the muggle and departed hence spontaneously." An Indiana man is just divorced from his ninth wife. Miscellaneous.
