The Origin Of Cards.
q About the. year 1890, cards were invent

France, who had fallen into melancholy:
disposition. That they were not IN use be-
fore, appears highly probable. LIST. Because
no cards are To- be seen in any paintings,
sculpture, tapestry, 10, more ancient than
the preceding period, but are represented in
many works Of Ingenuity since that age.-

the kings edicts, are mentioned, although,
some feHt years before, most severe one
was published, forbidding By name altman.

the subjects, might exercise themselves in
shooting With bows and arrows, and be in .
condition to oppose the English. Now, IL
is not to be presumed that so Turing game
as cards would have been omitted in the
enumeration, had they been in use. Sd.
In all the ecclesiastical cauons prior to the
said time, there occurs no mention Of cards,
although twenty years after date, card,play-
ing was interdicted the clergy by aGaili.

in the accountbook Of the kings coferer
the following charge: "Paid for . pack Of
painted leaves bought for the kings amuse.
ment, three livres." Printing and stamp
ing being then not discovered, the CARDS
were painted, which made them 80 dear.--
Thence, in the above synodical canons, they
are called pGgslIe p'cte--pnnted little
leaves. 4th. About thirty years atser TINS

and another by Emanuel, Duke of Savoy |;

Of their design.-Th inventor proposed
by the figures Of the four suits, or colors,
as the French call them, to represent the
four states OF classes Of men IN the kingdom.
By the CSsars hearts are meant the
Gems de Choear, choir men, OF eccleslas-
tics and therefore the spanlards' VINO Ger.
tainly received the use OF cards nom the
French, have copas or chalices instead OF
hearts.
The nobility, or prime military part of
the kingdom, are represented BY ends OF
points Of iant,es, or spikes, and our igno-
rance Of fthe meaning or resemblance Of the
figure induced us to call them spades. The
Spaniards have espades (sWords) in lien of
