Its leaves somewhat resemble those of the grape; the flowers are red and yellow, and when - they fall off are succeeded by pods, which ,grow in clusters like our ordinary beaus ; green at first, they change to yellow, and finally to a dark brown. To be preserved they are gathered when yellow, and put in heaps for a few days, to ferment. They are afterwards placed in the sun to dry, flattened the hand, and carefully rubbed with cocoa nut oil, and then packed in dry plantain leaves, so as to confine their powerful aromat ic odor - .

GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.: MONDAY, AUQ. 25, 1856. A Shrewd Reply. Night Scene in a Young Lady's led Chamber. Last Tuesday night, which will-be remem bered as one of the warmest of the season, a young lady of the West Eml was excessively frightened at a little circumstance which transpired about the hour of midnight. The Young lady, whose beauty is only equalled by her modesty, and whose "eyes' dark charm" has caused more than one waistcoat to palpi tate, had retired to her chamber, where, after aside the greater part of her wearing a - pparel, she committed herself to the tender embraces of Morpheus, whose soothing influ epees were aided by eco ling breath of Zephyr, who came in at th . (pen window and fanned her cheeks with his feathery wings. In a word, she was snoozing finely. It was, as we said, about midnight, when the young lady was rouse(' from her delicious slumber by hearing a noise at the window.— !l if unclosing her eyes she was startled by the sight of n corpulent form apparently strug gling to gain admission to her chamber the (pen window. It struck her at once that the intruder had been caught by the rear of his unmentionables by a nail or some ether sharp instrument, as he seemed to be struggling with a firm determination to enter, Her tirSt thought was to faint—her second, to give the fellow a push—her third to jump out 41,4 the window as soon as he jumped in— her finirth, to scream, which mss immediately carried into effect. The whistle of the loco motive on the Iron - Mountain road, when it gave its first snort on the 4th of July, was not whisper to the screams of the young girl.— The whole house, and half the neighborhood, were awakened by the outcry. The old folks, three female servants ; and two big brothers, rushed to the rescue, and broomsticks, mop handles and bootiacks flashed in the gas-light, as the household entered the chamber of the frightened beauty.. An examination of the figure in the window dispelled . the fears of all, tiol'ehan! , cd -the' screams of the young lady into shouts of laughter. The imaginary-"fat man" was only her - own darling hooped- skirt, which she' had hung on a hook near the win (low, and which the wind-had inflated and set in motion. There was no more sleeping . in the house that night.—St. Louis Herald. 11=11111=1:1 fEirLarkin Moore was a 'half-crazy, wan tiering, lazy fellow, who used to amuse the people in and about Newburyport with his eccentricities and his music; for Larkin had a host of old songs, hymns, anti snatehe of melody, which he rendered, in a plaintive voice, to familiar airs, and entertained crowds that would gather around him. Many of these songs needed only to be dosed in better words, and they would take their place among the verses that men would not let willingly &ie. For example, one of Larkin's songs caught the'car of a true_poet, who dressed it up. and it now commences: 'A pilgrim climb'd the mountain height, Assailed by storm and snow Larkin went to church one Sunday while in .Taunton, and Parson Whitney was exercising his gifts. which were exceedingly few and small. liis sermons were noted for their great length and very little dapth—fi)r their want of thought and the preacher's want of energy ; so that oftentimes it seemed as though he would come to the end, if he had but spirit enough to bring himself to a standstill.

The father liberally rewarded the preserver of his son's life, telling the rescued party that "if ,it hadn't been for the blacksmith he would have been drowned." Yesterday the boy fell again into the water, but this time its depth was not sufficient to endanger his life—and drawing himself out, he rushed to the store of his parent and demanded a reward, saying—"if it hadn't been for himself, he would have been drown ed."

He said: "All ether circumstances being equal. - ' agree with the Senator from Kentucky, that that country is 'most prosperous where labor commands the highest wages ; Ido not, how ever, mean by the term "highest wages," the greatest nominal amount. During the Revo lutionary war one day's work commanded a ,hundred dollars of continental paper; but this would scarcely have purchased a break fast. The more proper express;on would be to say, THAT THAT COUNTRY IS MOST , PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR. COM MANDS THE GREATEST REWARD; where one day's labor will procure, not the greatest nominal amount of a depreciated currency ; but most of the necessaries and comforts of life. If, therefore, you should in some degree, reduce, the nominal price paid for labor, by re ducing'your bank issues within reasonable and safe limits, and establish a inetalie basis .for your paper circulation, would this injure the laborer ? Certainly- . not ; because the price of all the necessaries and comforts of life are reduced in the same proportion, and he will be able to purchase more of them for one dollar in a sound state of the currency. than he could hare done in • the days of extravagant expansion for a dollar and a quarter. So far from injuring, it will greatly benefit the laboring man. It will insure to him constant employment, and regular prices, paid in sound currency, which of all things lie ought most desire, and it will - save him from being involved in ruin by a recurrence of those periodical expansions and contrac tions of the currency which-have hitherto con vulsed the country?'
