Up the Hill A-Bcrrylng. On a sonny Bummer morning, Early SB" the dew was dry, Up the hill.1 went a-berrying, Need I tell you, tell you why? Farmer Davis had a daughter, And it happened that I knew, On such sunny morning Jenny Up the hurwent berrying, too. Lonely work is picking berries, So I joined her on the hill; "Jenny, dear," said I, "your basket'* " Quite too large for one to fill." So we stayed-we two-to fill it, Jennv talking-J was still Leading where the way was (deepest, Picking benies up the hill. ( "This is up-hill work.'" said Jenny: "So islife,"said I;' "shall we Climb it each alone, or. Jenny, Will von com? and climb with mer' Redner than the blushing horries Jenny's cheeks * moment grew; While without delay she answered. "J will come and climb with you:" _ ,"_j Thc Origin of Cards* About tile year 1300, cards were in- ? vented, to divert Charlee VI. then king of France, who Rad fallen into a melancholy disposition. That they j were not in use before, appears highly probable. 1st. Because no cards are to be seen in any paintings, sculpture, j tapestry, ?fcc., more ancient than the j preceding period, but are represented i in many works of ingenuity since that j age. 2d. No prohibitions relative to I cards, by tho king's edicts, are men- j tioned, although, s:>mo few years bc- ! fore, a most severe ono was published, forbidding by name all manner of sports and pastimes, in order that the subjects might exercise themselves in shooting with bows and arrows, and be in a condition to oppose the Eng? lish. Now, it is not to bc presumed that so luring a game as cards would have been omitted in the enumera? tion, had they been in use. 3d. In all the ecclesiastical canons prior to the said time, there occurs no men? tion of cards, although, twenty years after that date, card-playing was in? terdicted the clergy by a Gallican sonod. About the same time is found in the account-book of the king's cof? ferer the following charge: "Paid for a pack of painted leaves bought for the king's amusement, thr?e livres." Printing and stamping being then not discovered, the cards were painted, i which made thom so dear. . Thence, i in the jjbovc synodical canons, they j are called pay illa1 pictm-painted little leaves. 4?h. Aimui fiUxtg ?rc,..,, .av, this came a severe edict against cards ! in France; and another by Emanuel, ' Duke of Savoy; only permitting tho ladies this pastime, pro spinulis for pins and noodles. Of th?r qesign.-The inventor pro? posed by the figures of the four suits, or colors, as the French call them; to ! represent the four states or classes of men in the kingdom. By tho CosstP'S (hearts) aro meant the Gens de Chour, choir men. or ecclesiastics; and therefore the Spa? niards, who certainly received the use of cards from tito French, have, copas or (Malices instead of hearts. The nob|lity, or.prime military part . of thej kingdom, ai e J?ppreseuted by the ends or points of lances, or spikes, , and our ignorance of the moaning or j resemblance of the figure induced us to call thom spades. The Spaniards have espades (swords) in lieu of pikes, 1 which is of similar import. By diamonds are designed the order of citizens, merchants and tradesmen, '. carreux, (souare stone tiles or the like.) Tho Spaniards have a coin dineros, which answers to it; and the Dutch call the French word carruex \ stieneen, stones and diamonds, from the form. Treste, thc trefoil leaf, or clover ! grass, (corruptly called clubs,) alludes : to the husbandmen and peasants. I How this suit came to be called, clubs ? is not explained, unless, borrowing. the ?game from the Spaniards, who have bossos (staves or clubsj instead of the trefoil, we gave the Spanish signification to the French figure. w The history bi the? four kings, , . which tho French in drollery some? times call the cards, is David, Alex? ander,' Cosar and Charles, (which names were; then, and still are, on the French, cards. ) These respectable names represent the four celebrated monarchies of the Jews, Greeks, Romans phd Franks under Charle? magne. J> By the queens aro intended J ijvme, : Esther, Judith and Pallas, (names still retained in thc French cards, ) typical of birth, piety, fortitude and wisdom, the qmihfieations residing in each person. Argine is an anogram.' for ' Regina, queen by descent. div tho, knaves wore designed the servants to knights, (for knave origi? nally meant only servant; and ju an old translation of the Bible, St. Paul is culled the knave of Christ;) but French puges and valets, now mdis- j wriminately used by various orders ol 1 persons, were formerly only allowed to persons of quality, esquires (6s cuiers) sliield or armor bearers. Others ?micy thai the knights them? selves were designed by those cards, because Hogier and Lahire, two names on the French cards, were famous knights at the time cards were sup? posed to lie invented. [ OUI Scrap Book. OZOKB AND CHOLERA.-A 'corres? pondent states the curious fact that, on the $th ultimo, a short but violent storm broke over Ancona.*and that immediately afterwards a great im? provement in the public health be? came perceptible. Not only did the number of cases diminish considera? bly, but the_ state of languor and prostration in'which the patients lay i ceased, in most instances. We beg here to remark, that this is a most important fact, since it goes far to prove the correctness of the supposi? tion, already confirmed by other ob-, serrations, that the virulence of cho? lera is peculiarly owing to the absence ! of ozone in the, atmosphere. Now, ozone being electrified oxygen, is amply supplied during storms; hence the diminution of cholera at Ancona is probablv owing to the sudden sup? ply of thai substance produced by the electric fluid evolved during thc; storm. We think it would not be amiss to test the correctness tof this theory by artificially electrifying the atmosphere of * sick wards during cholera; and as great anxiety is na? turally felt just now about the pro? gress of this terrible epidemic, we would remind our readers of a series of important experiments instituted in Russia a few years since on a whole regiment of soldiers, by Dr. Poz manski, showing that a tendency to cholera is always preceded by a low? ering of the pulse, even down to 40. Hence a careful observation of- the shite of the pulse during the epidemic may be useful in averting an attack by a judicious recourse to tonics and a nourishing diet.-Galignani. Speaking of perspiration these hot days, af penny-a-hner announces that the end of every nasal protuberance is bedight with liquid pearls, which hang pendant and beautiful, like gems of dew on a pear which still chugs to its .parent stem.

"Suffer it! no, mother-she loves it.'' A young lady, by" the name of I Jones, was arrested in Albany the j other day, charged with leading a ; young man, aged eighteen, from "the j path of rectitude.*" This is a novel ! charge. . I If Brigham Young's one hu&dred j wives favor their lord with curtain lectures, what, oh -what, must be the j nature of "Young's Night Thoughts?'" j asks the Saturday Press.

E NT AMI N TRAN K LIN PERRY, Provisional Governor of the Statu offkmth Carolina, do proclaim, order and declare, thai, there shall be farmed and ! organized in each Judicial District one or | more militia companies for a home police, to act under ami ?be auxiliary tc thc mili? tary garrison of-auch District in preventing crimes and prewerving the peace-of the District. Tlie companies win cons%t of a Captain and three Lieutenants and eighty men. scattered (iver the District so as to b? easily accessible from air*pcints where any disturbance may occur. When the companies are formed, they will report, through their Captains, to the respective Brigadier-Generals commanding in South Carolina, and to the provost Marshals at the respective Court Houses, and from them receive their orders. When arrests have been made, they will turn the offenders ovei? to the civil authorities or bring them? before the Provost Court Marshal for trial and punishment, according to the terms of agreement, between Generals., Meade and G?hnore and mvself as to the respective jurisdictions of the ci*?l and military au? thorities in South Carolina. This police guard will be volunt arv in its organization, and should bc ^composed of none but discreet persons of standing and character in the community, who are wil-/ ling to render their services promrjtly when the occasion requires. It is thought that the bare organization of such forces tliroughout the State, will have a most salutary influence in preserving peace and order and in preventing crime.
