upon the four suits as representing the four
prevailing religions: Christianity, Judaism.
Mahomedausm, and Paganism. The twelve
court cards remind me Of the twelve patriarchs
from whom sprung the twelve tribes of Israeli
the twelve Apostles, the twelve articles of the
Christian faith. The king reminds me of the
allegiance due his majesty. The ten brings to
my recollection the ten cities in the plains of
Sodom and Gomorrah. destroyed BY fire and
birthstone from heaven the ten plaques of
Egypt; the ten Commandments the ten tribes
Gu, off for their vices. The nile reminds me
of the nine muses., and the nine noble orders
among men. The eight reminds me of the
eight beatitudes, the eight attitudes, the eight
persons saved in Noah's ark, the eight per-
sons mentioned in the scriptures to be released
from death TO life. The seven reminds me of
the seven administering spirits that stand be-
fore the throne Of God the seven seals where
with the book of life is sealed; the seven 6ber-
al arts and sciences given by God for the in
strnction of man. the seven wonders of the
world. The six reminds me of the six peti.
tions contained in the Lords prayer. The FIVE
reminds me of the senses given by God to man !;
hearing, seeing, feeling, tasting, and smelling.
The four puts me in mind Of the four Evange-
lists; and the four seasons of the year. The
three puts me in mind of Trinity the three
hours our Saviour was on the cross; and the
three days he lay inferred. The two remind,
me of the two testaments and the two contra
ry principles struggling in men, virtue and
vice. The ace reminds me of the only true
God TO adore, worship and serve; one only
faith to believe; one truth to practice and
one good master to serve and obey So far

FARMERS IN LIBERIA.-1t is with pleasure
we write it, says the Liberia Herald, that there
can be found in Liberia persons completely in
dependent in their circumstances. One has on
ly TO visit the fiourishng farms Of Messrs Har-
ris, Jamison g. BlackIedge, to agree fully with
us in opinion Their farms yield them all that
are required for their food, raiment, and the
luAuries of life. Beautiful fields of sugar-cane
and coffee arrest the attention Of the traveller
as he plods his quiet way along the npper
banks Of The st. Paul. Their yards are we'll
filled with stock Of every description their
barns are stored with rice, and the out-hou.es
contain stores of barrels of sugar and syrup
This is really an encouraging prospect. Every
man in Liberia, if he will devote half Of his
time to active labor, may reach the state of in
dependence.

Of the most beautiful sights that the eye
ever behold. We were told that the smoke
from steamboats,. when they are in the lake
about fifteen miles distant, can be distinctly
seen from this ridge. At the head of the
hollow formed by the curvature Of the

which has been cut into for the purpose OF

Anecdote of Gen. Scott

Old Stephen Carmichael with whom we
were acquainted several years since, when
residing in Pekin, used to tell with much
pusto, the following anecdote of Gen. Scott
at Lundy's Lane. We give it in the old
soldiers own language:
any first battle" said uncle Steph.,
doubling his huge fists and giving his arms
a peculiar motion as if handling his mus
ket in the ''presentment' My first bat
tie was at Lundy's Lane. The men Of my
company were all newly enlisted, and We
were ordered to the attack under the terri
bic fire of the British. Every time vol
ley was fred by the enemy, our heads
would juke and bow towards the ground,
and 1 tell you, boys, l thought every min
ute would be my last. But presently, when
our men had halted, Scott rode up, and
raising himself in his stirrups said to US,
american soldiers. pay no obeisdnce to
the British! you don't owe them any !!
Forward march, l tell you, boys, after
that language l thought no more of the
British bullets. ~ Peoria Republican.

New WaV to Cure Sick Clerks.

The Dayton Gazette, relates the follow
ing story of Secretary Corwin. Its humor
is characteristic: "To friend of ours, who
saw him the other day at Lebanon, he gave
q most amusing, and We doubt not truthful
account of the condition of things in the
Treasury Department, when he entered up
on the duties of Secretary. The Clerks, he
estimates, were sick, on an average, about
half the time-but it struck him as some
what remarkable, that, much as they were
sick, none of them died The fact was ap-
parent at glance, that they did very little
work for the public, and the inference was
irresistible, that something must be done
for them Accordingly, the Secretary
turned physician, and began to prescribe for
the invalids. He issued an orGer that all
Clerks who were absent from their desks
a certain number of days, say two, on ac-
count of sickness, should submit to pro-
portionate deduction from their respective
salaries; and that all who were absent Ion
ger, say one week, would be required either
to die, or resign The prescription worked
like charm, and in short time there was
not sick Clerk in the whole Department
A healthier set of men than they are now,
Mr.. Corwin declares, can not be found any
