    in this way until, every object has been held up, and an order given for each one.
    We must also consider the long Winter nights when we sit around the fire, and find some games to pass away the time. I will mention some which I think are very nice.-Asking riddles, making pictures in the fire, telling stories, card playing, and consequences.
    These games help to while away the time greatly and give great pleasure to the playeres, and also to those who are looking on. Few of the old fashined games are played nowadays in their stead, we have much more modern games.
