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:"

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.

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.

He Sits by her. he whispers to her,
and he bugs her.'' -'Why, Edward, !

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 !

WHEREAS it is represented that in

fjreat disturbance and apprehension* worn I
twless persons, who are thieving, maraud?
ing and committing acts of violence remote j
, from the military garrisons stationed at the
Court Houses; and whereas Brigadier
General Ames, commanding the North

tho organization of a militia "police force in
each District of his command, to act in
concert with his forces in preserving order
! and peace in the community: and whereas
it is supposed that the other . ilitary coni
ftnanders will have no objections to the aid
and assistance on the part of the citizens in
suppressing crime and maintaining order;
and whereas, also, it appears that Presi?
dent Johnson lias sanctioned and author?
ized the Provisional Governor of Mississip- ;
pi to organize a similar* loree in that State,
and has forbidden thc military authorities
there to interfere with such organization: j
Now. therefore, I, 1 ! 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. The evil
?fccra rv-ill VllOW that t?rele IS a yu WV! , H?JY
