A Short Story of a Very I/on^ Chaic.

«y FALCONIUUDGH.

In endeavoring to dodge the burly police, one man ran dead afoul of us, and being under an impetus equal to an agitated shortliorned Durham at the gate-post, the burly fellow brought us down with the ease of a bobolink upon a tipsy mullcn stalk. Of eoursc we were not long in getting upon our pins again. Our antagonist did the same, and as he scrambled up he bawls out— "Beg ycr pardon, mister, but come along and help catch that feller, and you'll sec fun." "What's he done?" a.sked we. "Can't tell you now but come along— stop him

hand. The sun is continually drinking

from the sea and the moon and the stars drink the light of the sun. Thus we see that everything, animate and inanimate is constantly drinking but wc can find no rum used among them all, excepting with that biped whom God hath made a little lower than the angels—but who, by a seifdetermination of purpose, aided by the combined influence of women, rum, and tobacco, has been known to descend lower into the depts of degradation than ever a fish-hawk dived for a chub-sucker.

My friends: the comets alone are to the suns, satellites, and planets, what a drunkard is to a well-organized and sober community. Their orbits are as eccentric as those of a bacchanalian and they appear to be 'bound to blaze' as much as he whose heart has been heated by alcoholic fire, and whose phosphorescent phiz is radiant with the glow of artificial spiritual excitement. The comets are wandering vagabonds among the bright and pure of heaven and such of you, my friends, as are in the habit of steaming it to excess, are outcasts among the pious, moral, and temperate of earth. Your sober moments, if you have any, warn you of this solemn fact: and you are afraid to behold your wo-be-gone visages in the mirror of mental reflection. You have not the moral courage to talk face to face with your own consciences, and reason on the subject, as Paul did with Felix, on death and judgment to come. No—when you find that the pot of excitement begins to cease bubbling, you immediately add more fuel to the flame, and keep increasing the steam by little and little, till finally your corporeal boilers burst, and the fragments of a corroded soul arc scattered upon the unknown shore of

In a naralive of travels on the Amazon and Rio Negro, just published, Mr. Wallace describes an extraordinary tree, called the milk tree, which was one of the first wonders he saw near Para. The fruit is eatable and full of a rich and very juicy pulp but "strangest of all is the vegetable milk, which exudes in abundance when the bark is cut. It has about the consistence of thick cream, and, but for a very slight peculiar taste, could scarsely be distinguished from the genuine product of the cow. Mr. Leavens ordered a man to tap some logs that had lain nearly a month in a yard. He cut several notches in the bark with an axe, and in a minute the rich sap was running out in great quantities. It was collected in a basin, diluted with water, strained, and brought up at tea time and at breakfast next morning. The peculiar flavor of the milk seemed rather to improve the quality of the tea, and gave it as good a color as rich cream in coffec it is equally good."— The milk is also used for glue, and is said to be as durable as carpenters.

London Daily Xeu-s HOBART TOWN, Sept. 8, 1853. Knowing how deeply interesting any news respecting Australia must be to you, I write to inform you of a great discovery that has again been made on the GeeTong side about 56 miles from the town. They have been digging very deep, and have conic on a table of gold about 1U0 feet from f°r the surface, apparently inexhaustible. All

I can till you respecting it is that people's minds are partly turned, from the immense discovery. Every tub full of earth they raise from these holes contains pounds weight of gold. The more they dig the more inexhaustible it appears. At Geelong a tumult has broken out among the diggers. The government has sent up all the military to quell the disturbances, and the Marines of her Majesty's ship Electra arc mounting guard at the Treasury, and the sailors of the above steamer of war mount sentry at the banks. The military from Yan Diemen's Land are about to be despatched to Melbourne to aid the military already there. Goodness only knows how all this will end.—(Hobart Town, Sept. 5.)—By the steamer from Geelong this day, I find that a gold quarry has been discovered near Geelong 100 to 130 feet from the surface of the earth, putting all other diggings in the shade. 18,000

Loss OF THE FTEAMER GEN. BEM.—Tho Memphis Enquirer has been furnished with the details of the loss of the Gen. Bem, by an eye witness. They are most painful. The Bern was bound from Cincinnati for Arkansas river. About 9 o'clock on tho night of the 3d, when in the Grand Cut-off, a few miles above Walnut Bend, in tho Mississippi, and descending the river with a full head of s'.eitm, she struck a snag near the Mississippi shore, upon which she poised herself for a moment, when she commenced, swinging, in which operation she was torn into a thousand atoms. Within five minutes the boat had sunk to the hurricane deck, when the whole cabin floated off', leaving the hull with about fifteen deck passengers below the surface. I The cabin passengers and crew, when I the boat sunk, hurried on the upper deck.

THE TARIFF.

The People's Advocate (Mass.) ha.C a' lengthy article upon the tariff policy. We copy the following: look upon the whole business of tariffs as an invention of the enemy, and would gladly pay our proportion towards the expenses of government, if we could witness® the fair and equalizing effects of free trade, with its remedy against commercial crises/ with their wide-spread mischief.

While this movement is going on at home, the following alterations have been mado abroad from 18'16 to IC53:

In Russia the charge has been in the direction of lower duties, or the removal of prohibitions but the reduction has beenmostly nominal. Turkey has reduced her tariff forty per cent on the average, and upon a class of articles on which the rates' already were moderate. Sweden has reduced the duty on ships and articles used% in building them, and removed the prohibit tion on wrought steel but she enforces her prohibition of bar and hoop iron, and has added 1 (JO per cent, on her tariff on wool-., en goods. Norway has put a duty on machinery which used to be free, and lower-s ed the duties on cotton, linen, and woolen' goods. Denmark has lowered her rates on a large class of articles, but increased.® them on woolens, gloves, hardware, salt, and porcelain. The German Zoll-Yerein have increased their rates from 40 to 200 per cent, on cotton yarns and linen goods, and have generally raised rates on British articles. Holland has largely reduced the duties on a large class of articles. Belgium has become more restrictive, having raised the duties on linens, woolens, nnd coals.— France for seven years has made but two alterations, a reduction of the duty in raw and an increase on cast steel. Portugal has raised her duties generally. Spain has but little relaxed hcrold prohibition policy. Sardinia has reduced the duties fifty per cent, on an average. Austria has taken off some of her severe duties, but taxed linen and woolen yarns higher. Mexico has made some alterations for the better, but retains in full reign her restriction policy.
