A singular Berry" Dahomy produ-
ces." says DR.. M'Leod, in his voyage to
Africa, in great perfection, all the i'm
mense variety Of fine fruits found within
the torrid zone, with some peculiar to
itself, and among others one Of a most
singular quality. 1t is not unlike ripe
coffee berry, and does not at first appear
to have superior degree of sweetness,
but it leaves 10 the mouth much of tina,
impression, so that glass Of vinegar
tastes like sweet wine, and the sonrest
lemon like ripe orange: sugar is quite
an unnecessary article in tea or coffee; in
fact, the most nauseous drug seems sweet
10 whoever chews this fruit and its effect
is not worn away until after several meals.
1t is generally called the miraculous her.
ry, but Mr.. Dalzel has applied to it the
term CerGsuS Oryglycus.
Whoever eats this berry 10 the morn.
ing, must be content at least for that day
TO forego the natural favour Of every
kind of food, whether animal or vegetable,
for all will be alike saccharine TO the pal
ate; and the most ridiculous effect is often
produced by playing tricks upon those
who are not aware of its peculiar proper
ty. Mr.. DalzeI (who had been Governor
at Whydah, and ultimately Governor in
Chief the Company's service) attempted
to carry the shrub which produces this
fruit to the West Indies, but it died on
the passage. He likewise endeavored to
preserve the berries, but in every mode
Of preparation they los, their extraordina-
ry quality"
An inferior, in Dahomy, salutes his
superior by kneeling, clapping his hands
thrice, and then swapping his fingers a,
him, precisely as one would do in Eng.
land who wished to insult another. There
is nothing, perhaps, which strikes trav-
eller more than the strange variety in the
mode of salutatiou, or expression OF respect
in different parts Of the world. In Europe
they shake hands; uncover the head aud
bow; scrape with the feet; embrace ;
kiss hands, toes, &c. Some of the orien-
tails uncover their feet; lay their hands on
their breasts, or salam. The Chinese
thump their heads upon the ground 10
their sovereign; clench their fists and
grin at their equals; but that manner
which, more especially to an inhabitan'
of cold climate, seems the most awk-
ward and ridiculous, is practised by ce.<
tain islanders Of the Pacific ocean, where
on friends meeting, they join their noses
and rub them against each other.

And almost enyied him who draws
The sword for Justice !; whose last breath
Was freely spent in Freedoms cause.
Twas transient thought, and passed
Forth from the mind at Reasons ray
As meteor-Iights, which only last
The night, and fly the face of day.
On Eneland's shore, with thoughtful brow
saw female maniac there;
She had been happy once; was now
The very emblem of Despair.
He. round whose fate her spirit twined,
As the young ivy clasps the oak;
Whose soul with hers was firmly joined,
All earthly ties had burst and broke.
This life to her was rapture all,
Till WAR his dreaded clarion blew;
Her husband heard his country's call,
Her husband fell at Waterloo.

Whom love had taught her to prefer,
who knew, and justly priced her worth,
Was gone-and what was life to her!
She has not e'en the joy, alone
To she'd her sorrows DER his grave;
There is no tomb, there is no stone,
From common dust his name to save
Had martial music, Victory's blast,
One note to sooth her broken heart
She'll heed no trumpet, but the last,
Which summons friends, no more to part.
On the cold sod, in the loved spot
Where first they met, she stood aghast;
Reason her empire had forgot,
Save some faint memory of the past.
Her very woes thai spot endear'd,
Unnumber'd tears had bathed its sod
His name its every echo heard,
There countless prayers arose to God.
Oh WAR! one of thy wretched wrecks
Behold My soul with horror starts;
For not thel least of thy effects,
Are ravaged feelings-broken hearts.

MR.. HOLMES.

We are anxious to correct an error. which
we believe 10 be somewhat prevalent, respect
ing the opposition TO the election Of Mr.. John
Holmes, 10 the Senate of the u. States. His
friends are anxious TO propagate the opinion,
that all The excitement against this gentleman,
proceeds from the federal party; and they are
using this device, TO rally TO the standard
those who are accustomed TO be influenced by
party feelings. For this purpose was Mr..
Cushman sacrificed, and this would be to them,
sufficient cause for The prescription of any per-
son who would dare to question the Senator
political infalibiliiy. But it is not party
question those who usually associate with
Mr. Holmes, in political questions, the repub-
lican party, are more violent in their opposi-
ton 10 this genileman's re election than Fed
eralists and the public have been deceived
by the circumst ance, that our columns have
been used as a medium to express this oppo-
sition. The paper which supports Mr.. Holmes,
will not receive pieces which discuss bis mer-
its. but only such as cover bis failiDgs with the
tissue Of fiction. Republicans have, therefore,
sought our paper TO give publicity TO their
opinions. We repeatit therefore, that this is
not mere party question, and although The
federalists to man, oppose Mr.. Holmes, they
are supported by many gentlemen of the re
publican party. high in standing, in integrity
and iniormation- gentlemen, who feel pro-
found interest in the character of our state, the
welfare OF the community and the honor the
nation. Mr.. Holmes l. supported by the in-
fuence of some warm. fast friends, but we are
bold TO say, that the people-the people o.
Maine are not bis friends.
