Tropical Plants—Spice*.

The WTnebaqoes. —A late Galena (III.) Democrat says: “Tho Wmebagocs have expressed a determination not to■ remove from their present situation, notwithstanding their positive egreement with tho agenla of.onr government; Most of the Indian* are now at Frarie du Chien. Guv. Dodge and Geo. Atkinson are alio at tbe Prarie. 'The Indians »ay that they are not for war, but they will die sooner than remove. Many of these Indians Visited Canada last year, and received from the British government some valuable presents; and it is believed that they have been persuaded to hope thereby to receive their aid in case of a war with this country.”

Ciimo’non i* a tropical plant, growing in the East Indies, and is largely cultivated in theisland ol Ceylon, \yhero there are 'more than 16,000 acres in cinnamon plantations. The bark of larger shoots of thicker branches is coarse, the finer kinds arc obtained from the smaller or more delicate shoots.—The best is thin, smooth, shining, and of a light yellow color, bonds before breaking, and it splintery in its fracture. ; t7anm. —The cassia of commerce Is nothing but an inferior quality of cinnamon. The finest cinnamon brings two dollars a pound, tbe second tort from one dollar thirty to one dollar fifty cents, and the third sort about a dollar. These arc the prices in England, where the duties arc from twenty-two to seventy-five cents perpound. Pepper grows on a perennial climbing plant, The leaves are heart-shaped, with a glossy surlacc, and have little smell or pungency. Small white flowers grow abundantly on all the branches, and these are succeeded by the berries, wh ch are green-when young, and become of a bright red when approaching 1 maturity. They hang in large clusters, like.bunches of grapes; but the hemes grow distinct,-more in the manner of currants It is raised in plantations of 500 to 1000 plants, divided by hedges.

Pnm (he Sunday Morning Ami, • Life.

Life is a sweetly flowing dream ■To'the happy, the free, and the gay; , Like a bright, clear, glittering, lucid stream 1 Bursting forth on a sunny day;— Flowing o’er many, a graceful swell, ’Mid flower-enamell’d meads. Or winding through a shady dell, O’erhang with embowering reeds. II. Life is a slowly length’ning path, to the dreary, the hopeless, forlorn; Like a torrent that sweeps in gathering wrath, O’er a fearful precipice borne; To the deep,tho lone, and the hidden caves ’ W haw Uia light hath never be c a— Lost-and unknown, the nutrm’ring waves Go down to depths unseen.

jVuinirg and mace are tho produce of the same plant. It has its male or barren dowers upon one tree, and fcmale'or fertile dower upon another, being a dimeious plant. The flowers are white, bed shaped, and grow at the extremittes pf the branches, two or three together. The embryo fruit lies at the bottom of the female dower, like a little red knob, which afterwards expands, and at the end of nine or ten months it has the appearance of a peach.—.The outer edat is fibrous and hard, about ball an inch thick; and wlron arrived at maturity, this/burffs and a membraneous covering of a doe red color is seen, enveloping the thin black shell which encloses the kernel or nutmeg. This covering is the mace of Commerce. - The mace resembles a verdant net work; and, when collected, is left in the shade to dry, after which it is pressed closely in bags and exported.. The shell of the nutmeg is hard, and is subjected to the heat of dre .before being broken. Tho kernel thus shrivels up, and is then subjected to the action of lime and sea water to destroy the vegetating principle,

“\Yhat art you thinking about!" said Mr PickWick* 0 Mr Samuel Weller, jr. ‘‘I yvai thinkin’, sir," said that gentleman, Pwot powerful aiidcpnwincm’ arguments this here log cabin showis-to a sensible, reflection, tody o* people, o’ the fitness o’ one’s capacity to ]ie President, That ere hard cider is wery con* yvincin’, sir.’* "“Don’t you think brandy would be'belter, Sami" said Mr Pickwiiik. ‘‘There certainly is brandy, sir, at the bottom pf it, from what 1 see and 1 should say religion, . to'o,’cause 1 see a preacher among ’em,•sir." ’ “A preacher! Samuel,exclaimed Mr Pickwick. “What can ho do in such a scene!" . MVy, sir, there is a-lrucc, I'm told between Mm and Satan, till Harrison’s elected, as his Sootiness leans also a lUila that way.” “Shpckingl" said Mr Pickwick. “.Can a man pf- sense find argumcnls or reason in such tawdry shows! Did you not say, Samuel, that wc‘ ' w«ro in the glorious North American republic!" '“I did say that ere same thihg, sir,”- replied Mr Weller. ... “And who are these men that are engaged in these mountebank jpislimea!" demanded Mr Pickwick. ' “Vy, sir," said Mr Weller, reflecting!/ Pl’m pot bo sure as I can tell you, only as they say themselves, sir. • They say as how they are the true lights, and they are, too, the principal men pf the party. They pretend as how mankind don’t know the act o’ self-government, and they are trying, by ijisre ’ere shows, to buy from the peoplathe right of eelf-government, and ajryin’ to convince them that ills o’ no use to them, ’cause they haipt managed the public aflairs right, no hnw, and can’t." ( / “Well, Samuel, these people that ray bq are pertainty in the right. Don’t you think sol” said Mr Pickwick, “I’m not by any kind o’ means aosureo* that* sir," replied Sam, with a little- less respect than he wta wont to- address that gentleman when in England. “I think, accordin’ to natur’, •very'qian. in community has a right directly from the Father of the universe, (o say how far hie oaturatbighls shall be abridged, to what extent ho shall be taxed, and for what purposes; and besides, sir, I don’t think it is exactly accordin'* to natur’ to deny any man a woipo ip whatever public nj QTemea ‘ °i a y 8 ® J ct him." " “1 approve these shows, Samuel,’’ said Sir Pickwick, with some signs of foretho’t depicted in bia countenance “but I did not at first, 1 think, we it." ’ After gazing intently at Mr Pickwick for some time, and hii face expressing no equivocal signs pf opposition to that gentleman’s opinions, Mr Samuel Weller, with great distinctness and deliberation, said io Mr Pickwick, “Did you over r read the History of old Rome, sir!" “Yes. Why!" eatd .Mr Pickwick, ifith some eurprise. . ’ “Vy, sir,'just this ’ero. Romo was a republic, prosperous and happy,’when its citizen's were, free; they indulged in these ’ere sorts o’ 6 hows—they had shows o' (ions, tiger*, elephants—they had public theatres—they had large Enclosures for armed slaves to fight in, for the amusement’ o’ the ‘dear people,' kept up at the pubjic,expense—they fiddled and danced, sung and drank—they became enervated with luxury and all manner o’ wice. They forgot they eVec had been free— they could not guard their liberty for looking at these shows—tho reins/)’ power, jiy, were picked up by a few when the people bad carelessly laid them down." 9am then said rni|d!y, vYifl your vorahip tell movere this here Rome is now!" Mr Pickwick, kindling* with anger at the el£pejs of the question, replied with great warmth, “These same people ought never to have had the rains, Samuel," shaking bis clenched fist in the direction of Mr Weller, That gentleman, seeing die resolution of Mr P, replied ih a tone of sarcasm or submission, I donol exactly know which.—“Veil, your vorahip, I don’t know as they ought to, unless they had bald on to’em." • On thift the conversation ceased, and both Mr. Pickwjck, as well as Samuel Weller, junior, fell into an altitqde of contemplation for some time. At length Mr Pickwick, with great clearness and diatmetneas of pronunciation, fiaid, “Samuel," * “Sir," replied Mr Weller. t “Is there any good brandy, Samuel, in this cltyl 1 * . • “Yei, flif ” aniwered Mr Weller. ‘•Then show mp when) it is to be had," replied Mr Pickwick, with great decision of mind. Then, turning tp Mr Weller, Bald, “Samuel, as we are jn America in search of knowledge, I must think A _- f thcie things when more at leisure." So Baying, Mr Pickwick, preceded by Mr Weller, inoved towards one of the many cafe’s of the populous city of St. Louis,. Box.
