The following occurred in one of the towns of Mas sachusetts, not far from Rhode Island. It is a com pound of rum end benevolence, appetite and canning, high and low depravity, such as seldom comes to light. 'Husband, what do you think I have done to-day?' said Mrs C, to the keeper of a country store, where the drunkard's '0 be joyful' was still sold, upon his return home to dinner. 'I cannot possibly tell, my dear; I dare say some thing clever. 'Well, I never did such a thing before, but the man looked so pitiful, I thought I would encroach upon your wardrobe a little, fur once, as I knew you could well supply the poor creature's wants without any in convenience to yourself.' 'You have given away one of my coats, I supposes hope you didn't make a mistake, and give my go to meeting one, did you?' 'Oh, no; I gave away one ofyour shirts. He said he'd none, and had called to beg one—so I gave him one, and be went off as happy as if I bad given hint a cow. I don't know when I have seen such a motile of joy at so small a gift.' 'Given a shirt! I should like to know who there is, so poor as to be without a shirt. Old Tom Jones is the poorest creature I know of, and I don't believe but he has got a shift, as poor a drunkard as he is.' 'Tom Jones!'—there, I don't believe but it was Jones; I have heard you describe him, and it was hint I know. He looked cunning, and that smile of his seemed to be half joy, half fun, and if I was Irish, I should say the other half savage. 'Very likely it was Jones, for be has been in um store to-day.' 'Has he? and had he a short jacket on, and hole. in his pants, and miserable shoes without sto ckings?' 'Just so,' 'He is the Very man. Had he a bundle, or had he put his shirt on?' 'He had a bottle, as inns], but I saw no bundle, sod I did not notice whether he had'acollar or net.' `His bottle! well, I hope you did not fill it for Ws, for that would seem like the story in the paper lately. where the wife told the husband she would supply the drunkard's family out of the house, as long as he sup. plied the rum from the store. Did you let him WWII any?' 'Any what, my dear, molasses or vinqrar? You have no objections to my selling him any thing le will pay fort' 'Yes. I have, ylu hnow I have. I would nos sell him rum fur pay, and you may trust hire for anytWng else. f wish you would let him have molasses. His wife would be glad of that. But did you let 4im have any- rum?' 'Yes, mydear 1 did. He seemed so feeble, and wished that I would let him have a liule.' 'How much?' Half a pint!' 'Half a pint! enough to make him get drunk, and he will lose his shirt before he gets home, and I might as well have turned him off without it. Well now, hus band, let me know, do you trust Junes for rum?' 'No.'—'Did be pay fot it?'—'Yes.'—'How much?' cents.'—'ln money?'—'No.'—'How thear— 'ln rags.' 'ln rags! I'll bet a dollar you have bought your own shirt back again, and I'll go this minuteand see.' 'No, you sit still and finish your dinner.' No, no,you shan't go, I'll go myself. It will be such a good one. I'll make you a.hamed of selling rum this time, at any rate. There! there! Here it is Lora to pieces, and you have bought it for rags,' THE CINNAMON TREE. Mr Gushily. our minister to China, in an account of the Island of Ceylon, makes the following statement respecting the nature and cultivation of the cinnamon tree. First, as to cinnamon culture. This productioain its perfect state is almost a monopoly of the island of Ceylon, and its growth is confined to a very narrow tract ofland on the southwest side of the island, cbiegy in the neighborhood of Colombo. This does not seem to be the result of political arrangenient merely, but to rise from some inappreciable vittuein the combleia-t . lion, soil, and water, and their relation to each other in this island of Ceylon, and in this part of it. Some of these peculiai ities it is easy to indicate without its being so easy - to understand why the particular conse quence should follow. The tract of country in which alone the cinnamon grows to perfection, is situated on the sea coast ex- , posed to the air of the ocean. It is in a climate of equable temperature, which is at once hot and moist —hot from its tropical position, and moist from the frequency and plentifulness of rains. The general level of the C1)111/ try is low, in the midst of fresh water. lakes, divided from the sea by a narrow ribband of land. And the water in the sell of cinnamon gardens is of extraordinary purity, so ns to be for that reason much in request in the neighboring city as a beverage. The exact combination of influences does not occur any where else in the island, at least dues not in the same degree. But the crowning fact is the nature of the soil. It is in a great part pure quartz sand of a greyish to a pearly white lustre. A specimen of it being candidly dried by Dr Davy, was found to , mmtist of 98.5 eiln cious sand, 0-3 vegetable matter and I water.• This circumstance impresses one very strongly on visiting the cinnamongardens,it seems so strange to see a plain of pure quartz sand whitened in thesun, and covered with a luxuriant growth of trees. In rich soile-tbs: aroma is said not to develop iself in the same coltien= — traced form. Perhaps the name of garden, which is applied to the cinnamon plantations, may be led to en erroneous coo caption of their nature. The cinnamon tree (Jaunts cianarnoxiuns) in its natural state grows to the Wight of about. twenty feet; but the bark, which is the only valuable part, is found to lose much of its highly liro• matic quality in the mature trees. Accordingly. a trees are cut young, when the stems are only tive or feet long, and less than an irreb thick at the largest end. The bark is then stripped or peeled off in long pieces like willow bark, scraped carefully to remove the cuticole, and laid out to dry, during which it curls up in quills, as they are called, and it is then ready for the market, bat improves by keeping for a while. The wood is good for nothing but fuel. Owing to the mode of cultivation, the CID. namon garden has very much the appearance of scrub oak, the rich bright green leaves of the small trees be. ing strikingly in contrast with the white plain in which they grow. It is possible that the fregrance of the cianataces groves may have been sensible to voyagers along the coast of Ceylon ; butl do not believe that of p. pens; no such fact was perceived on board the Brow droise. There Is very little fragrance perceptible Ia the gardens themselves; and the idea of its eztendieir out to see is laughed at in Colmebo. Military Expiatien.—A letter dated Ltrunaherg.
